BRIDGE AT THE ELKS Has Been Moved Back To TUESDAY NIGHT For This Week ONLY Starting April 18, Friday Nights at 8:00 Bridge Committee ., jr r if Jf FEEDING TIME Greg Swanson, 11, son of Mr. and'Mrs. Roy G. Swanson, 402 South Newtown st., holds "Wally," a pet grosbeak. He and his brother Gary, 8, caught the bird about two weeks ago a block away from their home. The bird's wing has been cut. He is also missing a tail and a toe. "Wally" is shown-perched on the edge of an ashtray filled with bird seed. Boys Tame Grosbeak Injured In Fight' By JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune Staff Writer "Well, I'm a dirty bird!" That's what Wally, a tame grosbeak, may have muttered to himself as he scraped the frosting off his feet. To the bird, hopping up on the fresh ly frosted cake was just an other adventure. But to the lady of the house Mrs. Roy G. Swanson, 402 South New town st. it was an aggravat ing nuisance. The bird had been found about two weeks ago by her sons, Greg, 11, and Gary, 8, a block from the house. His wing had been cut at the tendon and one toe and his tail miss. This probably re sulted from, aerial combat with blue-jays, the boys said. Wally was fluttering along the ground when the two boys found him and wasn't eager to be caught. But the two agile youngsters cornered him under a bush and soon he join ed the long line of creatures who have been treated at the "Swanson animal hospital and zoo." The patient list at one time or another has included a woodpecker, three robbins, two baby sparrows, a white mouse and a tadpole: "Dad knows a lot about such things," Gary said. "He showed us how to take care of Wally. We feed him bird seed. He's pretty tame now, but he will never be able to fly." Wally doesn't actually need to fly. His hops would make a kangeroo drop its pouch. His recent hop, of course, was onto the cake. He also fikes to hop from a hand onto a shoulder of one of the boys while eating his bird seed from an ash tray. Meal time is fun time for Wally. When h attacked a News About Servicemen ON CRUISE Western Pacific Joseph A. Roberts, f fireman appren tice. USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Roberts, 129 Granite st., Ashland, is serving aboard the destroyer USS Richard B. Anderson operating with the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific.

PLAZA HOTEL PORTLAND, OREGON Single with Bath $4.00 New Low Family Rate Plan Shoppingly Located Broadway at Washington C. V. Cooley, Mgr. piece of french-fried potato recently on Gary's plate he probably thought it was a worm. Ketchup must have made it taste even better. What Gary doesn't eat, Wally does. The grosbeak has a cage on the kitchen drainboard which serves as his bedroom. At night the cage door is closed. During the day he's allowed the freedom of the kitchen and the livingroom when the boys are home. Since Wally isn't house broken, and probably never will be. it takes a fast man with a piece of toilet-paper to keep with him. Since Wally never will be able to fly it looks as if he will be around the Swanson pet domiciliary for some time. His guardians don't worry about him leaving the house. He seems to know when he's well off. Even the neighbor's cat accepts him. Of course this didn't come until after long hours of close tail - twitching examination. During the first few days in his new home Wally was kept in a cage on the back porch but was soon removed to safer quarters. Saturday the boys were clamoring for a pet rabbit. However, Mrs. Swanson was holding fast. It's bad enough now she says. When she comes home from her job as a tele phone operator she never knows what sort of creature she will find in the house. rrMBfflit week ; t 5 12)UV8J r T INN 1 1 E I - v1 " rf1'--" 1 " H The I .-Wants - S2ff.E. 1 . rides, CO l jsai I . ... mk;l Tri - - I Courtesy Obituaries ALVIN C.

A few specialties responded to favorable corporate devel opments but losses of a point or more were numerous in the main list. Uncertainties over the ec onomic outlook and labor ne gotiations in the auto industry combined to keep the market on edge. Unfavorable devel opments in some industries also accounted for some of the selling. The steels were downside leaders on further production cutbacks in the industry. U. S.
