Sidney has had the parrot for 17 years and it was formerly kept for several years by his grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Payton Bowling of Roanoke, Virginia. “Polly” has been in the family for at least 35 years and earlier belonged to a Roanoke man for many years. The former owner sold the parrot following his wife’s death because Polly kept re peating the wife’s name and “talking about her.” Polly eats anything and stays in a cage in the house at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop Lawson near Spray. The parrot laughs and calls Mrs. Law son “Mama,” calls the dog, whistles, talks and sings to imitate the radio. Sidney says he has never known Polly to utter a naughty word and the family has been careful to not permit the parrot to hear profanity or other undesirable expressions. Mr. Lawson, who keeps the parrot, is a brother-in-law of Sidney Cruise and a former employee of our Woolen Mill. ★ VISITORS TO MILLS AND OFFICES From Other Sections of the Company P. H.
