Show Feeds Fine Feathered Friend I ' : : - '-,'. is.. ' . . '' : . i ' i . . , ' . -1 . Gaylen, 17-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fay Walker, has a firm friend in Joe, the pet crow at the household. Joe will follow the small boy around and amiably take whatever is offered him. In fact, Joe has takings ways all around, and takes off with whatever he can get his beak on. Anything that is bright appeals to him, and one of his latest escapades was to make off with a small door knob from the screen door that hasn't returned yet. He's the bird that swiped a paint brush from Mrs. Arve Rose. On another an-other occasion he pestered Gay-len's Gay-len's grandfather, Albert Bishop, at his painting and flew off with the brush and dropped it in the dirt. Joe is a meddler, but popular popu-lar in the neighborhood. He was found in Oak City canyon May 28 by Mr. Walker and has settled set-tled down since as one of the family. He will accept a pebble trom young Gaylein, carry it around the yard a while and then gravely bury it. He has his upsets, too. One day a mother hen didn't like his attention to her brood of baby chicks, and she rolled him in the dust. Another An-other day he tried to snatch a piece of meat from the old torn cat and got dusted again. Otherwise he gets along fine with folks as he shuttles about. (A last minute report from Mr. Walker says Joe has been missing since Tuesday morning and Gaylen would like to have him home again.) |
