Service Waiver Before coming to the Slatos, Rochaix had to oblain special permission to be excused from military service. There, tie said, all young men between 18 and 20 years of age have fo spend four months in the army for basic training.

After basic training each one is required to serve three weeks a year up lo eight years and then 2 weeks a year until a 10-year period is up. Uniformed men arc a common: sight in Switzerland, according to Peter Carp, a Widmer sales representative and translator for Rochaix. The majority of men are either in uniform or in the Army reserve, even though the country is known to be neutral. Whenever an alert i called the reserves turn out in full uni- form complete with guns and horses, Carp said. Rochaix' work at Widmer's so far has been mostly in the vineyards where, he has been tying.vine or using a tractor to prepare ground for new plantings.

Gertrude currently is residing at Seattle's Park; Zoo, but only temporarily because zoo already Jias Gertrude and two hippos would; be one too many, according; to -Director Frank Vihcenzi. Geriruete' Ilall 1,200 pounds of her-4vas auctioned recently by Poncho, a charitable organization, which had purchased her from an Seattle couple. '( Allen. E. jSmith a Seattle executive, -was the successful bidder, and he put her on his ranch near Lake Wenatchee, where Ire runs horses, cattle and otlier animals.

But winters in the Cascade Mountains are too cold for hippos, and, besides, the other animals didn't like her. Smith finally decided to give away. Vincenzi agreed to take her in, but only temporarily. i No doubt one reason Smith is finding it difficult to get someone to take Gertrude off his hands is the fact that she eats like a well, like a waterhorse: A bale of alfalfa, a crate of lettuce and a bushel of carrots a day. In fact, one zoo keeper suggested to Vincenzi that Gertrude be kept on as a permanent garbage disposal unit.
