long story that started two years ago when Wayne Lister of the Fourth I had a call to design a con belt That is routine for engineer Lister but when he was told it was a conveyor for a polar bear he was somewhat surprised Mr Lister of Irving Steel In Cambridge designed the pound conveyor belt complete with hydraulic variable speed hydrostatic drive that was later loaded on a flatcar and taken to pah r country in Churchill Manitoba Two polar bears Huxley and were captured by University of biologists on Ice floes in James Bay Shot with tranquilizer guns they were airlifted to Churchill where various experiments on their metabolism were carried Under the leadership of Nils Polar bear the conveyor was set at speeds up to miles an hour creating a treadmill for the pound animal During the exercise the white furry bear had his blood pressure and other body reactions checked When the experiments were over Pooh stayed In Chur chill but Huxley was donated to the Metro Toronto Zoo Recently the decided they no longer wanted poor Huxley as they had enough Polar bears so they told the University of Guelph who had collaborated in the tests if they tike him hack he would be put to sleep So how can you save Well the University has liken Huxley back but hiving no proper cage for an inimnl of that size called Irving Steel ind Wayne I for a design strong enough big enough for the animal Mr I ister his come up with the design hut there is no money to for the large the University has also contacted Duncan Thomson resident of quipment I Cambridge who had been involved with the belt and Mr Thomson decided to make a public appeal for to save poor old Huxley Huxley will earn his keep at the University where he will be part of further testa done by Professor tics of the faculty of Biological who Is writing a thesis on his findings It seems polar bears can expect to live W years in captivity but only in their natural environment I ueklly it 700 pounds Huxley Is small for the breed up to GOO pounds and would then need a much bigger and more expensive cage A account has been opened in Cambridge for Huxley and donations should be sent to Huxley the Box Cambridge Ont Perhaps
