Footloose Chimp
Is Escape Artist
PAWTUCKET, R.I — Sheba. !
the footloose chimpanzee who has
been trying to set her friends free
now is safely behind bars.
Sheba, who lives at the Slater
Park Zoo, escaped from her cage
twice in July by unraveling the
chain link fence which kept her
penned in.
She was placed in solitary con
finement while both her indoor
and outdoor cages were made over
with iron bars to prevent future
escapes.
The welding of the bars com
pleted. Sheba was returned to her
cage. Finding she couldn't unravel
the bars, she started taking apart
neighboring cages.
There is a separation between
each cage to prevent the animals
from clawing each other, but
Sheba found she could reach thru
the bars to the cages on either '
side.
Keepers found she was unscrew
ing the nuts on the bolts holding
the fence in place on the lion and
tiger cages.
Sheba went back to solitary.
The zoo staff placed lock wash
ers on all the bolts and pitted the
ends of the bolts to keep the nuts
tight.
Sheba has returned to her cage ,
again and zoo employes hope they :
have her safe for good now.

Seward Salmon Derby
Winner Had No License
SEWARD liP — Mrs. William
Boardman, the only Seward Sal
mon Derby winner who ever had
to tell her fish story to a judge,
has collected the $3,000 winner’s
share of the eighth annual fishing
festival here.
Mrs. Boardman has returned to
Anchorage, but the 17 - pound 2
ounce salmon she caught to win
the event is still in Seward.
The now-frozen fish is awaiting
a court order which would make
it the main course at dinner some
Sunday at the Jesse Lee Home in
Seward.
Mrs. Boardman went into De
puty Magistrate’s Court at Seward
Saturday and was fined $50, with
$15 suspended, for fishing in Re
surrection Bay during the derby
without a license — at the time
when she landed the prize-winning
fish on the opening day of the
derby two weekends ago.
The charges were filed against
Mrs. Boardman by the Alaska De
partment of Fish and Game.
Mrs. Boardman told Mrs. James
Schaefermeyer, the deputy magis
trate, that she was totally unaware
she needed a license.
Was Valachi There?
FARMINGDALE, N. J. W — By
closing the Monmouth airport to
civilian airplanes for 15 minutes
Sunday, the Army opened specula
tion concerning the whereabouts
of underworld informer Joseph
Valachi.
Valachi has been telling federal
authorities what he knows of the
operations of a national crime syn
dicate.
The 50-year-old convict was do
ing his talking at Ft. Monmouth,
where he was under close guard
at the Army’s Signal Corps Center.
During the 15 minutes that
Army authorities curtailed civil
ian use of Monmouth airport here,
two military planes took off from
the field.
The underworld reportedly has
placed a $100,000 price tag on the
informer’s head.
“The surest cure for vanity is
loneliness.” —Thomas Wolfe.
