Monkeys at Finnup Park Race for Supremacy on Memorial Island
At Finnup Park the monkeys fought and bit across their new island, one java male allegedly mating with a new mate and drawing others after him. The big troublemaker was moved to the Primate House, four or five others followed to the island as domestic calm returned. Meanwhile Mary Owens reported chaos at the bathhouse with hot water issues and valves stuck, while Claude Finnup opened several showers to fix the mess. The pool drew 1,200 visitors yesterday, about half of last year’s 2,500, as sunbathers outnumbered swimmers.
