‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOCIETY ... PERSONALS... -NE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Fifth Season Plans Of Screen Tours To Be Announced By Audubon Society In its midsummer meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Tuesday, July 22, 1952 Flower Girl S. Whiting, 85 Maine Road, Sigsbee Park on last Friday evening, the |? Monroe County Audubon Society Audubon Screen Tours for Key W announced its fifth season of the ‘est under joint sponsorship of the local and National Audubon Society. The Screen Tours provide] five events in which top ranking naturalists, photographers and lec- turers are brought to Key West, together with the outstanding mov- ing pictures on nature subjects that they have made. Details of the Screen Tour program will be made public after the next meeting of the Society in September. Stuart 8S. Whiting, president, reported that over 200 local resi- dents and visitors, including groups of Boy Scouts and Gil Scouts had been taken this sea- gon on field trips through the old botanical garden on Stock Island which has been designated as a Bird, Plant and Wildlife Sanctu- ary by the City Commission. He stated that this is becoming more | and more of a tourist attraction and requested the Society’s Sanc- | tua.y Committee, consisting of | Mrs. Frances T. Hames, Vice President, Mrs. Jeanne Taylor and Mr, Albert H. Carey, to study requirements for improving the Sanctuary and make specific sug- gestions to proper authorities. One member’ of the Monroe County Audubon Society reported | upon an unfortunate and dis- graceful incident which occured one evening recently when a man whose name is not known, wantonly shot and killed a corm- orant (which is protected by Fed- eral Law), from the boardwalk at the County Beach. Not only is such practice inhumane and iMegal from the standpoint of conservation, but the illegal dis- charging of firearms is dangerous to human life. The man who shot the cormor- ant was driving a two-tone light green automobile of a popular make but the license number could not be obtained. Local po- lice were notified and are investi- gating also the violation of ord- ces against the use of fire; arms. Persons who hear or know of such incidents would be per- forming a public service in re- porting them to the proper law enforcement authorities who are always ready to cooperate. A papa | of ‘ye meeting was the excellent and interes! re- fog Bae port of a field trip to glades National Park, presen by Mrs. G. P. Lawrence and Mrs. Frances T. Hames. They told of seeing such birds as the Florida and the Purple Gallinule, the Shrike, Herons, Wood Ibis, Egrets, Everglades Kite and many others when they visited the park in June at the invitation of the Tropical Florida Audubon So- ciety of Miami. A summer census of birdlife in Key West and the Florida Keys, particularly of those nest- ing here, is in progress, it wes stated by Mrs. Hames. Many orni- thologists have visited the region this season and others have writ- ten to find the best time to come | to see the birds. Since the public | hhas cooperated so splendidly in conservation and protection of birds there are many more here this summer than usual. Persons who know of hesting birds and | who see unusual species can be helpful by reporting the informa-| tion to members of the local so- ciety. Among other items of business was the appointment of a nomi- nating committee, consisting of Mr. J. P. Baillod, chairman, Miss | Helen Taylor and Mrs. Lawrence as members, to bring in a list of nominees for officers of the Society at the September meet- Following adjournment of the Dusiness session, light refresh- ments were served by the hostess. assisted by Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Baillod.

Comes a letter from George Renna who is spending a vaca- tion at a dude-ranch with his wife, Mickey, out at Encampment, Wyoming on the A-Bar-A Ranch. He’s in the spirit of rodeo and round-up and begins his letter, .| “Hi, Podner.” Renna may not be a tall man in the saddle, but he’s giving the Lone Ranger a ride for the money. I expect him to come back with legs like paren- thesis and with a Laramie draw] like Gary Cooper’s. As for Mickey, who rode on a four-day cattle round-up, she may have to start used to long rides, George will probably have to put a mantel in his motel so that Mickey can enjoy meals. I used to do 40 miles a day in hill country, but that was a long time ago and my riding mare had an extra mild gait, Tennessee Walker. George continues, “Fishing here in stream, river and lake is won- derful ... they tell me... but we use larger bait in Key West than the experts catch out here. Have shown our fishing pictures gi to all guests and expect many of them to come to Key West next season. Climate is a delightful change with days around 75 de- grees and nights down to 45 and 50 degrees. Need a fireplace from sunset and in early morning. Our pool is streamfed and COLD . . BRRR. No one ever uses it. We go to Saratoga Hot Springs 40 miles away to swim and the pool there is delightful. Almost as bad as Key West having to go to Miami to take a shower... or has the water pressure improved? “The Citizen has been follow- ing us and for some reason we enpoy it a great deal more here than at home.” WAY WEST, the Rennas took 12 days and all the sights, in- cluding throwing a stone from Pike’s Peak. He said there was'a lot of news and inside dope from the Republican Convention when a large party arrived out of |tin Chicago and that hot political discussions took place every night between Californians and Texans. Would like to have been in on the details of that “Texas steal.” Rustlers aren’t confined to the wide open ranges, eh? Now that it’s all over but the echo of the shouting, and Eisenhower has gone fishing, the dude-ranch dis- cussions must have calmed down. ALWAYS RINGS, not twice, but thrice these days. Another buzz from Iggy Car- bonell notes that he is in Mexico at Apapulco having a wonderful time and when he went fishing snagged a sailfish eight feet and seven inches long, weighing 85 pounds. Capt. J. W. Davis, please note and stop turning emerald! T'm still wondering when we'll get that smoked sailfish tidbit maybe come Friday at the in his honor at Echoasis? Remember George Leavens, the free-lance photographer who took pictures for Holiday and Family Circle in Key West? Just received a lovely token for small help given him on his beat.

Also, Norma Shear- er and Leslie Howard had no Shakespearian experience. “Orson Welles’ ‘MacBeth’ (1948) had three strikes against it: A lim- ited budget; the Scotch accent; and Orson was too busy to con- centrate on his performance.” THAT’S THE VERDICT!

He presented a tiny, lively little figure at the keyboard and when he wasn’t making - thm with his agile hands or feet, carried it out with his body voice. His key board frenzy is most contagious and brought down house on several occasions. Key West now has it’s female Josephine Baker. On questioning, Art tells me he hails from Philadelphia, and has been in show business for thirteen years. He has been playing the borscht circuit from Central New York through the Poconos and has only this last season invaded Filo- rida, and it has proved to be quite an invasion. He also told me that Ihe has memorized and arranged |1500 numbers, and you'd better be- lieve it. Altogether, the entertainment on Saturday night calls for superla- tives in all categories, and is cer- tainly a recommended must when you are out doing the town, and in search of something truly differ- ent.
