Gordon has been denied a dog because of lack of space in the apartment in which the family resides. Not long ago a pigeon volun tarily came to the place and Gor don named the guest “Spotty.” The boy’s mother and the land lady decided the bird should stay. The tiny pigeon had to be han dled with care for awhile, because he was tiny and fragile. Gordon and Beverly, 3, children of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dvorak, placed the bird in a cardboard box in the kitchen. It can be said “Spotty” lived a pampered life for awhile and received more than his share of attention. Initially, when the bird was taken outside for fresh air and exercise—and for a rest period, too—the bird was staked out with a leash like a calf. But in time, with his wings clipped, “Spotty” .vas permitted to hop about un hindered as the children played in the yard. One day, “Spotty” unintention ally was left outside by himself. When the domesticated bird de cided it was time to go indoors, he took a running leap at the screen door. The trick almost' led to his undoing, but Gordon got the sig nal and admitted “Spotty” through the door. The bird waddled tri umphantly into the kitchen, climb ed into his box and took a snooze. “Spotty” has no use for a perch. The box is okay. Why not? He gets a blanket like a pup or a kit ten. “Spotty” enjoys riding on the tricycle with his master. Best place to ride, “Spotty” has found, is on Gordon’s shoulder—next to his right ear. Tune m “Voice or Tne Fior tier”, thrice weekly 40 Present for Club Meeting— On March 18 the Victory Boys and Girls 4-H club met at the school house for a general ses sion.

On March 24 four members from our dairy and stocker feeder clubs went to Sioux City on the 4-H tour. Those going were Dick Coventry, Bob Ruther, Brenda Colman and Karen Brown.
