DERBY LINE, VT W.H -
When Mr.. and Mrs. Uric Cor
deau wanted to move their par
rot from the kitchen to the liv-
ing room, they found they had
to get permission from the u S.
Public Health Service.
1t seems that the Cordeau
home spans the American-Ca-
madam border, with the kitchen
in Canada and the parlor in the
United States. A 1880 ruling of
the Health Service says that any
parrot entering the States must
be examined for psittacosis.
However, since the ruling was
MT retroactive, and the parrot is
"a years old, the Public Health
officials ruled the restriction
didn't apply.

Portsmouth's Lady Mayor
Will Do Right by Her Sex

PORTSMOUTH, N. H. -U.P)
Her Honor the new mayor OF
Portsmouth, Mrs. Mary Don
dero, who captured the city's
beauty crown in her salad days,
has one principal aim as chief
executive-"to make it carrier
for other women to run for pub
lie office"
AS New Hampshire's first wo-
man mayor, Mrs. Dondero still
retains a pleasant but fighting
feminism. Her own history is
proof that a career and mar
riage can mix well. An enthus-
iastic crusader, the 50-year- old
mayor already is a grandmoth-
er.
In fact, Mary Dondero meets
all the requirements for the
"self-made woman" Born of
Irish parentage in Portsmouth,
she quit school to go to work
after finishing the eighth grade.
Later she married Charles Don
dero, an internal revenue office
clerk, who died 10 months ago.
She and her husband managed
to put three daughters through
college. The fourth. Carlotta,
left college recently to enter the
Waves. Another, Aileen, is in
the Wac.
