ANNOUNCEMENTS
Primate Nooz takes great pleasure in announcing
its
selection as one of the finalists in the competition for
the prestigious Scopes Primatology Prize, given each
year to that publication which has excelled in
informing the public about primate issues and
contributed in a major way to habitat conservation.
The other finalists are The British Royal Museum
Journal of the Cercopithecinae, Tasmania Nature
Weekly, and The Borneo Bulletin. The prize is
awarded by the Foundation for the Preservation of
Primates and Other Quadrupeds, and the absolute final
selection will take place later this spring at the annual
conference of the Singapore Simian Society to be held
as it is every year in Singapore.
The Nooz would also like to take this opportunity
to
state that its senior editorial staff has not by any
means lost confidence in the ability of West Coast
Correspondent Mr. Christopher Shaw, just because
his new format idea was a total and unmitigated
disaster. Publisher Arnett Putney, III and executive
editor Widen Lundale, Jr. are eagerly looking forward
to working closely with him in the not very distant
future.
Finally, the Nooz wishes to clarify its position with
regard to the advertisement placed by Field Reporter
Eric Scotmeister Fleiglehaus. It is not true that our
automotive department has verified the roadworthi-
ness of the vehicle he is attempting to unload, and we
suspect that it has a few problems. Mr. Fleiglehaus
may be OK as a Reporter from the Field, but he isn't so
great in the mechanical department. Be careful.

ADVERTS
Used car for sale. Has held up surprisingly
intact
despite rigorous trips to Gabon, Borneo, Tasmania,
Bali-Bali, the Amazon and Madagascar. Everything
has been replaced at least once, most things several
times. The Nooz's automotive department has
checked it over and vouches for its reliability.
Many good miles and lots of field trips left in it.
Contact E. Fleiglehaus, c/o Primate Nooz, Hellmouth,
AZ.
Would you like a fifth limb? Sound crazy?
Do you
envy those New World types with their fancy-
dancy prehensile tails? Now you too can have a
prehensile tail with our new Tail Helper, the battery-
operated mechanical prosthesis that attaches
directly and almost painlessly to your own tail. In
just a couple of short weeks you'll be hanging by
your tail, freeing up your hands and feet for more important
things. See a free demo at Hellmouth
Small Appliance Repair. Also available with special
waist harness straps for apes. Call today, or maybe
tomorrow.
Habitat cluttered with trees? Choked
with nasty
toxic vines? Crisscrossed with creeks? Swamped
with swamps? I'll come out and design a habitat for
any species, and I don't care if I have to use some
concrete trees to do it. You won't either. The
main
thing is that your habitat will be a lot easier to keep
clean. Rates by the hectare. Nick's Habitat Design,
3rd Ave. and Pine St., Hellmouth.

SPOTLIGHT Cont. from
page 3.
As
far as most people are concerned, Badongo-
Gazimbi begins and ends with a single commercial
product, the gorogo bean. This lowly legume has
fueled the economy of the country for generations,
providing sustenance for a tired population and much
needed foreign exchange. But there is a lot more to
Badongo-Gazimbi, from the old, decaying Dutch
capital of Adudu in the north to muddy Lake Badongo
in the south. There is the silvertail grass moth, from
which is made almost the entire world's supply of
moth-wing coats. There is the beautiful and little-
understood monkey dance which the natives
apparently engage in every year when the ground
becomes parched and hot. And, of course, there also
is the occasional ancient scroll to be found, such as
the one discovered last year by Professor Miedzyrzecz
von Chechowice-Dziedzice....
Uh oh..... WATCH
OUT! IT'S SWINGING
AROUND! TURN IT OFF! Whew, that was a close
call! I guess maybe the boys down at Small Appliance
Repair should take another look at it. Anyhow, next
time we'll try to light up another interesting place for
you, but for now this is Bill Measely. Ciao.
