Sacred Cows Fund Grows for India Gift to Boston Zoo
The Post's Sacred Cow Fund accepts over-subscriptions beyond 500 to pay Morris Gest for two sacred cows from India intended for Franklin Park Zoo. Extra money will go to the zoo keeper, while Gest will donate the 500 to the Children's Hospital. Submissions pour in from New England towns with a parade of names and playful notes, including poems and animal-themed dedications.
