In a telegram received this morning by Jack De- laney, president of the Key West Chamber of Commerce, Lena warned that she would be here for the Jaycee ball on Halloween night. ‘I'm coming.” Lena wired. “When I come, I stay. You, you go.” The telegram was signed by Lena herself and was in reply to a wire sent cartoon- ist Capp asking permission for the Jaycees to use Lena at their costume ball. Efforts to send Lena’s telephoto here are understood to have shat- tered much telephoto equip- ment. Committees working on ar- rangements for the ball have announced that only the stout-hearted will be able to look Lena square in the eye that night. Through the ef- forts of Cyril Marshall, local artist, the Key West version of Lena the Hyena, is being created and Marshall pre- dicts that his finished prod- uct will be anything but a thing of beauty or joy for- ever. “Girl Of Month” Award To Misses Gena and Bowery Before 300 service men, Miss Shirley Bowery and Miss Gena Pena were selected as “Girls of the Month” at the “Girl of the Month” formal dance, Thursday evening at the Jackson Square USO.
