SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Jim
Waugh found George in a Dayton
bar where patrons “were giving him
beer and everything else.”
He took him home, cleaned him
up, gave him a decent meal, and
made a home for George, a rhesus
monkey, on the 100-acre farm that
Waugh and his wife, Lucille, have in
Clark County.
Also on the farm is an ostrich,
four deer, seven white fantail pi
geons, two golden rooster pheasants,
a silver rooster pheasant, assorted
other birds and fowl, some wild
sheep, a Brahman cow, a peacock, a
buffalo, two horses, and a timber
wolf that Waugh says has “a little
dog in him.” *
Waugh sold his bear and his lion
last fall because their daily diet of
about 30 pounds of meat apiece cost
too much.
Lucille Waugh says the animals
belong to her husband and she has
little to do with them. But Waugh
says Lucille likes to toss fruit into the
small animal pen and watch them
race the ostrich for it.
Waugh has lived at the farm 26
years, and earns his living raising
feeder cattle and hogs for commer
cial purposes.
The other animals are his pets, his
friends, his pleasure, and none of
them are for sale. But he can’t recall
what got him started collecting-
exotic widlife.
Waugh picks up animals at many
places, but musTcome from animal
auctions at Royal City, Ind. That’s
where he found Heathcliff, the 6-
foot female ostrich, about a year ago.
He says ostriches do well in this cli
mate and that Heathcliff usually
prefers living outdoors, huddling
against a fence in the coldest
weather.
HeathclifFs diet consists mainly of
corn, though Waugh says she can
swallow a half-dozen whole apples in
a row. Almost all the animals he
keeps are grain eaters, because car
nivores cost too much to feed.
George is Waugh’s favorite. He
rides in the truck cab with Waugh
when the farmer goes on cattle-buy
ing trips. He has a private, heated
room and gets special food. Waugh
says George’s favorite meal is spa
ghetti, a raw potato, a pear and a
. slice of pumpkin pie.
Waugh not only cares for the ani
mals, he cares about them. Every
hunting season causes him concern.
“I’d just hate to see people shoot
them,” he said. “I’m against hunting.
The same people who yell about
them being locked up would be the
first ones to kill them if they were
loose.
“It’s a shame someone took them
out of the jungle, but you couldn’t
put'them back — thev couldn’t sur
vive. That wolf would come to ygur
house to get fed — he doesn’t know
how to hunt for food.
“I think these birds are beautiful.
Here, they can get their bellies full
and not worry about getting shot or
hit by a car.”

BABBITT, Minn. — Reading is
an unconscious part of nearly every
one’s day.
People read, without thinking
about it, when they glance at a street
sign or newspaper headline. Or flip
through the mail. Or study a shop
ping list in the grocery store.
June Wallace of Babbitt will be
able to do these things soon. Wal
lace, 62, is learning to read.
“I went to school,” Wallace said. “I
didn’t get the right kind of teaching
I should have. And my parents
never laid the law down to me to
study.”
When her schooling ended at age
16, she couldn’t read.
Wallace is one of the estimated 27
million functionally illiterate adults
in the United States and 800,000 in
Minnesota, according to Carolyn
Schworer, executive director of the
Minnesota Literacy Council in St.
Paul.
Though Wallace was unable to
read, she could memorize what was
told her.
“I cooked for 22 years in a big res
taurant,” she said. “I had seven or
eight girls working under me, all
calling out orders. I never had a slip
to look at. I remembered.”
She got by, recognizing places,
products and street signs from mem
ory. She stumbled through recipes.
She learned to di ive and recognize
some signs — “like ‘stop’ and ‘no
trespassing.’ Enough to get by,” she
said.
But she felt she was missing a lot.
“I had grandchildren that would
come and ask me to read to them,”
she said. “That was hard — I had my
grandchildren asking me to read a
story, but I couldn’t do it.”
So last spring. Grandmother
started learning to read.
Through a volunteer program
sponsored by the Minnesota Literacy
Council, she took that difficult first
step facing non-reading adults
throughout the state who want to
take free, private tutoring.
