A founder of the Conservation 
Library in addition to Carhart and 
Gabrielson was John T. Eastlick, 
then head of Denver’s public li- 
brary system. Its management now 
consists of Henry G. Shearouse, 
Jr., City Librarian, Denver Public 
Library, who gives much time and 
attention to the Conservation Li- 
brary, although a very busy man 
as head of one of the larger and 
better library systems in America. 
He is ably assisted by Mrs. Roberta 
Winn, department head, whose 
main interest recently is in the Li- 
brary Reference Service of the 
U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 
Wildlife. Elvis J, Starr, National 
Audubon president, is a member of 
a prestigeous national council 
which serves as a directing board, 
as is Estella Leopold of the Aldo 
Leopold family. 
MRS. BARRON and I visited the 
Library when we were in Denver 
for the National Audubon Conven- 
tion last June. We have a particu- 
lar interest because there was es- 
tablished in the Conservation Li- 
brary two years ago a fund in 
honor of my late brother, the Al- 
fred N. Barron Memorial. We met 
there by appointment and were 
shown the library by a conservation 
specialist, Miss Kay Collins, who 
directs the day-to-day activities of 
the Library. Miss Collins is a bril- 
liant, attractive, dedicated person 
who appears to be too young to 
even be through college. Of course 
she is older, since she has two mas- 
ter’s degrees, the first in American 
history and a recent one in library 
science, and is a past president of 
the Denver Chapter of National 
Audubon Society. 
Sanctuary for wolves set up in Missouri 
Wolves have been maligned since 
one huffed and puffed at the three 
pigs’ house. Now their image is 
changing, but it may be too late 
for some breeds. 
To prevent the extinction of this 
hunted beast, a wolf sanctuary has 
been planned for Washington Uni- 
versity’s Tyson Research Center 
near Eureka, Mo. The Sanctuary, 
sponsored by the Elsa Wild Animal 
Appeal, will be called the Wild 
Canine Survival and Research Cen- 
ter. 
A primary objective will be to 
establish a wolf pack there, begin- 
ning with two pairs of adult wolves 
next spring. The 50-acre tract, part 
of a 2,000-acre wildlife preserve, is 
enclosed by a nine-foot high double 
steel fence. But within this boun- 
dary the wolves will be able to 
roam freely, much as wild wolves 
did 140 years ago before they be- 
came extinct in Missouri forests. 
Rare and endangered types of 
wolves will be brought to the sanc- 
tuary to insure their preservation. 
Researchers are particularly eager 
to locate specific varieties of the 
Southern Red Wolf, the Rocky 
Mountain Gray Wolf, and the Mex- 
ican Gray Wolf. They’re also look- 
ing for a breedable pair of the 
Lobos Wolf, but they fear none can 
be found. 
An International Captive Wolf 
Census has been started to prevent 
the loss of other species. It will 
utilize the “wolf underground” that
