Original Toronto Star caption: The Metro Zoo wants you! As a volunteer tour guide; that is. By Christmas they hope to have 100 people who -- like George Kayes; above; with children from the Arrowland Indian School at Nakimo; Ont. -- are willing to lead tours of school children; senior citizens and handicapped around the zoo and answer questions. They give you an eight-week training course (One morning and one evening a week); which starts soon; so call right away. The number's 284-8181.
