"Tlie story of Lollypop be
gan with a frantic telephone
call," writes Roger Fowler
of Hollywood, Calif.
"It was from a friend of
mine, telling me that three
baby canaries in his back yard
aviary had fallen out of their
nest. One was dead, but he
thought I might be able to
save the other two. I assured
him that I would try, and a
half an hour later he ar
rived with the babies in a
paper bag.
"This was not my first
experience with young ca
naries; I raised one by
hand from an egg just two
years before. So I went to
work mixing together Pab
lum. egg yolk, poppy seed,
sugar and cracker crumbs.
"Before long I discovered
that one was very sick, and
he died two hours later. How
ever, the remaining one
thrived under my care and
feeding, and I named him
Lollypop.
"Before two weeks went
by my lillle foster child had
grown from two inches to
nearly three and was already
trying to fly. In another four
weeks, little Lollypop was not
only flying, but singing, feed
ing himself and had learned
to do his first trick, which
was to light a miniature flash
light by pressing his foot on
a small plunger. It was then
that I discovered he was a
'south paw'.
''I had heard that canar
ies cannot be taught lo do
tricks, and that made me
Interested to see how
many I could teach him to
do. Before the first year
and a half had passed, he
had a repertoire of 11
tricks, had appeared on the
Danny Thomas television
show and had been given
a half-page write-up in the
Hollywood Citizen News.
"He docs tricks on com
mand as well as any movie
canine. He picks up a dime
and drops it in a piggy bank:
he opens a small box and
takes out a miniature card
and then flics to my shoul
der with it. He pulls a card
from a deck, and then after
the deck is shuffled, he pulls
the same card out for a sec
ond time.
"Although Lollypop only
weighs three - fourths of an
ounce, he can lift a quarter
of an ounce plunger and drop
spread is eight and three
quarters of an inch.
"In an automboile Lolly
pop rides on my shoulder
and sings his little heart
out right under my ear.
Lollypop is indeed a very
remarkable canary. He will
be three years old on July
4."
LIGHTS OF PERTH
Since the night the citi
zens of Perth, Western Au
stralia, turned on their lights
to welcome John Glenn dur
ing his orbital flight, letters
have poured into that city
from Americans to express
their thanks.
Matthew Utting, a consult
ing engineer of Perth, writes:
"Thank your fellow coun
trymen and women for
their sincere and courte
ous letters, which have
been posted up in the
Town Hall- for all to read.
"The light were turned on
in all homes during the night,
and all street lights were kept
on. Our own house lights did
not contribute very much, but
I have pleasure in reporting
that the 125 Medium Anti
Aircraft battery, which is
close to us, had two search
lights probing the sky as John
Glenn passed over. It was a
most inspiring , night and
something that history will record."

about this is that his wing I Monday.
