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.
