Mr. Lenny has | been in newspaper work long be-} }fore The Citizen was born, around 1906 when it was founded | by T. T. Thompson and the late W. W. Thompson. Mr. Lenny worked on Herald, Inter-Ocean, Sage Key of the Gulf, and, final- , The Key West Citizen. The} din: room force called him} Colonel”. | KINDNESS OF LIFE ‘There was always a great kind- ness in Mr. Lenny. He loved to} recall amusing ancedotes about his fellow Key Westers and he! enjoyed the shifting Key West scene a great deal. He often made! philosophical remarks about sit- uations and it was a philosophy; never bitter but kind toward his ‘fellow man, He was a part of Key West's past and a personal- ity I will always remember. Mr. Lenny is gone now. He has pass- ed through a transition which all | of us must. He leaves much an- ‘ guish behind in his family, who adored him. Death leaves this hurt always because it takes away from us quickly and sud- denly a bit of the eternal light! which is of the divine. But the more we deal with death the closer we understand that it is all part of the scene in which we have been created and if there were beautiful sunsets and! spongermen in wrecking hats and } printers busily putting type into large forms going through our minds and our lives so also will | something of this divine spark continue on. So will he be with us again. $ | AGE OG 0 a | Auxiliary Reports On Convention : The regujar bi-monthly meet- ing of Arthur Sawyer Unit Nov 28 Amegican , Legion Auxiliary! wilt | be held at the qLegion ‘Home ' Thursday.

City. Manager Dave King em- phasized that the ordinance was Inot inhumane but that it merely provided protection to \the. citi- zenry against dogs ‘“at large”. The city manager pointed out that a dog at large _must be He said, too, that a dog on a leash is not at large and therefore would not have to wear a muzzle. Owners in their] yards do not have to put a muzzle on their canine. Then the question of rabies vaccine came up. Humane Agent |Longstreet said that vaccine for rabies was not very effective and lasted oniy a few months. He was against the vaccination of dogs. There is no rabies in {Florida, he said. Further, if a mad dog bites a man there is ample time for the man to secure the Pasteur treatment, which consists of 21 shots. Addressing the group also was Mrs. Janice White, president of he Humane Society; who said that she favored the ordinance, ,except for the vaccine question. A long drawn out protestation jeame at intervais from Commis- sioner: Cooper, who said he was against “muzzling”. He said that “the front end of a dog is not the only end of a dog which gets into trouble.” Finally, at the end of the meeting, Commissioner Coop- ier said that he could see the point of the ordinance and changed his vote from “no” to “yes”, The ordinance also provides that owners shall keep their dogs from howling or barking at night. Owners whose dogs are in “heat” shall keep them inside their yards, the ordinance provides {and makes provision against tor- turing or starving animals.
