  • SummaryThree woman (one with broom, one with large stick) posing before dog trap marked "A.S.P.C.A." in front of barracks-like building built as temporary housing for veterans on site bounded by Rockaway Parkway, East 102nd Street, and Seaview Avenue. Caption on verso: "Wolf! Wolf!: The women of the Jamaica Bay Housing Project can't cry it often enough, for a huge dog has been prowling the project snarling and snapping at residents.

In the Committee-to-Trap-the-Wolf, left to right, are, Mrs. Mildred Valente, Mrs. Jane Swanson, Mrs. Hebard and Mrs. Marion Galiley."
