June LeMert Paxton • In her September 21, 1949 column “Lowly Philosophy,” June LeMert Paxton, a good friend of Cabot and Portia Yerxa’s, put in a plea on Cabot’s behalf for burro donations. “We need more burros; just lots and lots of them,” he said, hoping for burro enthusiasts to loan their pets to the Pioneer Days celebrations of October 8-9. • Newspapers from Sierra Madre c. 1910, also feature Cabot trying to round up burros for races and other “pioneer” festivities. • Bottom line? Cabot just loved burros, and whenever possible tried to get the message across about what terrific animals they are. 64
