V J O L IB * On the Reef By BILL PH E L PS M Y W IF E DORIS, who lays down the editorial policy for this p ap er every n ight at th e din n er table, has a few o th e r a ttii- butes, too . . . including a couple we never expected. She uncovered one of them the o th er day. We have a pet p a r a keet at o u r house, the pride and joy of my d au g h ter, K athleen. I he o th e r day, w hen g u ests a r rived, the p a ra k e e t flew o u t the door and perched on the porch rail. Doris spoke soothingly to the parakeet. The p a ra k e e t huddled down in th e rain, closed its eyes amt appeared to go to sleep. D oris reached slowly for it. The p ara- keet opened its eyes, chirped twice, and flew into th e top ot a th irty (D oris says it w as six ty ) foot spruce tree. Once arriv ed it cow ered on th e branch, looking dism ally at th e world. So Doris w ent a f te r it. She doesn’t fly very well, so she s t a r t ed up th e tree, limb by limb. Finally, she reached th e top. and calm ly clu tch ed th e p arak ee t, w ho had been lau ghing so hard he w as u n ab le to fly. Right about h ere she perfected a new technique, th e P helps m e th od of sliding down a spruce w ith a bird in th e hand. I t ’s h ard on the clothing and th e th re e o u te r layers of skin, but D oris says i t ’s invigorating. Well, we have o u r p a ra k e e t. O ccasionally he ch irps to Doris as if he’s asking h er w hat kind of a bird she th in k s she is, anyw ay. And the Sis-Co Logging C om pany is endeavoring to sign Doris up to a y e a r’s c o n tra c t as a high clim ber. They hav en ’t a chance, though.
