LADIES NEED PARROTS
/ LONDON, 23rd July. * 'Nobody could contemplate without dismay a Briton's indefinite deprivation of the luxury' of parrots,*' said Sir George Buchanan (Senior Medical Officer, Ministry of Health), amid laughter at a Medical Association meeting, when referring to psittacosis. "You may laugh, but if you read the communications I have received from ladies, also high officials who do not seeiL to be able to live without parrots, you would realise that I am merely stating the truth. "Apart from their aesthetic qualities, parrots appear to create intense domestic satisfaction, and to supply material for anecdotes."
