. i. . Ha S. Granf i (Ml Sage A Portland columnist received correspondence this week from a patron of a Hood River res taurant, who claimed he ordered a pjece of an uncut cream pie in the pastry case. The waitress re fused to cut it, explaining that she had to sell all the miscellaneous pieces of apple and berry pie first. My advice to the disgruntled cus tomer Come to Bend. When I was strolling through the hotel lobby yesterday, just watting for the talent scouts to discover me, I decided to go back to the coffee shop lor a cup of java. A stranger walked in and ordered coffee. "Fresh," he added, The pretty blonde waitress smiled and asked cheerfully, "You mean you want to wait while I make a pot?" "Yes, I'll wait," he said. So, this smart-alec waited for his coffee, and the rest of us drank that stale old stuff that I saw the waitress making when I went in The trouble with us scrubs is that we're too easy-going. 1 Y W,tVv 1 V I'm not really serious about wanting to get into the movies. If I tried out for the part of the fat square, dancer, I'm afraid I'd get it. And that could be a terrible blow to the pride. I've known all kinds of pet fan ciers, but parakeet owners are in a class by themselves. And they are the first to admit it. Some go so iar as to hire sitters for their pets, take them on vacation trips, and brag about the cute things they say. Unless you're pretty thick- sKinnea, you a oetter not buy a parakeet, because if anything hap pens to it, you U be grief-stricken. That's the word from June Helge- son, of 22 Shasta Place, who knows whereof .she speaks. The Helgesons acquired a beau tiful young blue parakeet recently. A male. They named him Malar key. He sat on June's shoulder while she did the ironing, and fol lowed ner around the house like a dog. An air-borne dog, that is. Then early this week it hap pened, bomeone opened the back door, and the bird shot out like a Dash. Just like that. Now the Helgesons get up at o clock every morning and walk lor DlocKs, looking toward the tree tops. Because the weather has been mua, . they have reason to hope they will find the little bird Parakeets can stand fairly rugged weatner. June says that their bird is too young to talk. But she's sure he would learn in time. The Helge sons have friends in Bakersfield who coach visitors to ask their parakeet his name. The bird looks coy and says sweetly, "You know birds can t talk." If June's bird comes home, suggest this routine for his talk ing lesson: June: "Where is my parakeet?' Malarkey: "Here I am, Mother.'

' shop: ' No Spelling Bee Won By Illinois Girl WASHINGTON (UP)-Thirteen- year-old Sandra Sloss of Granite City, 111., thought about nicer things today than "crustaceology, immiscibility, abbacy and mne monic." She has $500 in her pocket plus $1.00 for a week-end trip to New York, after spelling those words correctly and winning the longest National Spelling Bee in the year history of the contest. She also was scheduled to make an appearance on a nationwide television program this morning and may go on a special tour of the White House later.

The blue-eyed, sandy-haired win ner, an eighth-grader at St. Jo seph's school, said she would have to think about what to do with her prize money. "I didn't expect to win," she said, "and I haven't even thought about what to do with the money. It could go into a college fund. Her mother said Sandy wants to go to college. But her interest is not in getting to be an even bet ter speller.

Fire Chief Speaks During the week ending Mav 15. the leading cause of fire was chil dren playing with matches. The Fire department has a pro- grain withi which we hope to help cut down fires and injuries or death to children from this cause, Our fire prevention week schedule calls for visits to the grade schools or. a prevention and fire safety program, Any organized group of children, such as Boy or Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Cub Scouts, church or school classes are invited to visit the fire station for fire prevention talks and a tour of the fire sta tion, with an explanation of how the department operates. Many of these groups are now taking advantage of this program. Our greatest hope, however, lies with the parents. In dealing with very young children the best pro cedure, perhaps, is to keep matches out of their reach. Later the children can bo taught to have a lot of respect for, and a little fear of, fire.
