Woman groom firsi
at Anheuser Buscli
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Colette McGee
is a woman in a traditionally
male profession dealing with a
breed of horse that would give
pause to many a large man.
But working alongside — and
under — the massive Clydesdale
horses of Anheuser-Busch
brewery fame hasn’t bothered
the slender 5-foot-6 McGee,
even though she admits she was
somewhat intimidated at first by
the 2,000-pound draft horses.
And she’s proud of the fact
she is the first woman ever
allowed to work with the beer
company’s Clydesdales, even
though that wasn’t her intention
in seeking the job.
“I think, that maybe my being
a woman was my in,” said the
29-year-old groom. “But that
wasn’t what I was thinking. That
was the furthest thing from my
mind. I just wanted to work with
the horses.”
And there’s a lot of horse to
work on. Besides weighing a ton,
the horses must stand at least 18
hands (about 6 feet) before
being allowed to join the beer-
wagon teams.
“There was a lot of adjusting
to do,” she said. “But as a rule,
they’re very gentle. I get
attached to the colts here.”

million insect species
; in 1971
United Press International
WASHINGTON — There is
a virtually unexplored world of
insects in the tree tops of tropical
forests, and pioneering studies
by a Smithsonian scientist indi
cate the jungle canopy may har
bor hundreds of thousands of
unknown species of bugs.
In fact. Dr. Terry L. Erwin
estimates there may be as many
as 30 million species of tropical
insects around the world — not
1.5 million as generally
assumed.
“We know nothing about the
top of the canopy,” Erwin said.
“It really is the last biotic frontier
on Earth.”
Erwin, curator of entomolo
gy at the Smithsonian Institu
tion’s National Museum of
Natural History, is assembling a
massive collection of tens of
thousands of insect species col
lected from expeditions in Pana
ma and more recently along the
Amazon River in Peru.
He is concentrating solely on
insects living in the tree tops,
anywhere from 50 feet to 200
feet above the ground. And he
and co-workers are working
quickly because the pristine
forests of today are rapidly
being destroyed in many parts
of the tropics for lumber and
farmland.
Erwin estimates that
thousands of insect species are
being wiped off the face of the
jglobe each year by deforestation
in South America, Africa and
Asia.
To examine the insects in the
inaccessible jungle canopy,
Erwin and associates hoist a
radio-controlled logger to the
tree tops to spray an insecticide
that kills insects but does not
harm foliage or people.
Broadcloth trays are sus
pended on ropes beneath the
trees to collect the insects as they
drop like rain when the logger is
activated.

The researchers then collect
every dead bug except ants —
there are too many — that falls
into the trays. The insects are
brought back in sample bottles
to the Smithsonian for painstak
ing mounting and examination.
Erwin estimates 70 to 75 per
cent of all insects in the canopy
are new species.
