Twice Told Tales JETHRO VISITS SCHOOLS - In the photo at left, Jethro, the Canadian timber wolf, seems to be saying, "Let's go home". Watching him on his visit to the schools, from left, are Dr. Robert Boos, superintendent; District IS School Board Member Ann Cuda, Lori Romanus, central office em­ ployee; and Mrs. John Harris, who with her husband owns Jethro. At right is Jethro in solo per­ formance. His expression seems to ask, "How's this for a pose?" During American Education Week, District 15 was visited by Mr. and Mrs. John Harris, founders of North American Association for the Preser­ vation of Predatory Animals. They were accompanied by Jethro, a 90-lb. Canadian Timber wolf, who is one of the twenty-seven wolves they own and keep at their California home. The Harrises visited all the District 15 schools, presented a valuable film, and allowed the students and teachers to pet Jethro. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are concerned about the very real possibility that, in a short time, wolves will become extinct. It was learned that only 300 of these beautiful animals remain in the wild in the United States, and that only 3,000 survive in Canada. The reason given for the extermination of these animals was bounty and a lack of understanding concerning the nature of the wolf. Contrary to populare belief, wolves do not seek and attack man; nor are wolves particularly troublesome to cattlemen and farmers. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have dedicated themselves to the noble task of putting a stop to the slaughter of these creatures. Anyone who wishes to add his voice to the attempt of saving the wolf from extinction can make his feelings known by writing to his State Senator or Representative in order that the bounty be removed on this animal in the several states where they reside.
