CHARTERED AIRLINER
Woman Takes 90 Pets (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LISBON, November 13. An elderly British widow with 80 dogs and 10 cats settled in yesterday on an isolated estate near a lighthouse, in Algarve province, the associated press reported. Mrs Margaret Hunter, of Michaelchurch, emigrated to Portugal on Monday with her pets because: “I was here several times before and I have no doubt the climate will be ideal for my little ones.”
They flew from England in a chartered Viscount jetliner with the animals comfortably accommodated in the passenger section. Mrs Hunter’s kennel keeper, Gertrude Davis, aged 53, and her daughters Benita, aged 43, and Marjorie, aged 45, accompanied her.
Their new home is an estate Mrs Hunter reportedly bought for $U.5.24,500 at Carvoeio, a remote village overlooking the Atlantic in Portugal’s southern-most province.
