But all of us have heard about the “dog including man. In Kéy West and practically every other city in the country dogs have been innoculat- ed, but that treatment always has been done in the summer. It is as ridiculous to innoculate a dog in winter as it would be to turn on an electric fan in one’s home on a chilly night. Another thing: heretofore when dogs were innoculated in Key West Snowflake Dance At “Y” Features Falling Snow “Snow’’ fell last night in the YMCA-USO recreation hall during a “Y" Christmas season Snow- flake Dance. The “snowflakes” fell jately following intermission as the dancers circled: the floor to. the }tune of “White. Christmas.’’ This flood..of snow-like paper chips fell from a large. paper -ball suspended in the rafters..of -the»;hall, The “blizzard” ended. ..with».a mild “snowball" fight. . ‘The: ..dancers completed the evening dancing through snow, that unlike the northern variety, never turned to slush. Gus Ayala’s band played for the dancing and refreshments were served during the evening by the Girls Service Organization. | The hall was decorated for the) evening with bright streamers, snowflakes and a lighted Christmas | tree.

Several U. S. sena- \tors and representatives have de- lclared that if greater taxation is imposed the country runs the | chance of becoming bankrupt. Key | Westers, in common with the peo- iple elsewhere in the country, are ‘bled white by taxation. This pre- | posed $2.50 is another peck at the | pocketbooks of local taxpayers and ‘rentpayers, who pay taxes indi- rectly. Those pocketbooks are al- ready pecked in a thousand dif- by nation, state, coun- ty, city. The city has a big bank balance—that’s money taxpayers { already have paid—, so why should our City Commisisoners take an- other peck at Key Westers pocket- books? Dog owners now pay a city license, but the Commission- ers seemingly are not satisfied with that fee+-they want an addi- tional $2.50; te! inoculate’ dogs in the WINTER;!a? time when have neverty-been. innoculated he- fore, here r elsewhere: As Dr. Galey and other former | city health oficers innoculated dogs | free of charge, why doesn’t the {present city health officer do the same thing, particularly in these- times when taxation is more bur- densome than ever before in the {history of the nation?
