A Av NEWS MORE AREA NEWS ON FOLLOWING PAGE SPOUTS PAGES INSIDE "What's that you say? oh, this yapping doesn't bother me I'm used to it." That's Miss Mary Laidley talking above the waves of canine voices of the Kenton County Animal Shelter. Miss Laidley, Kenton County SPCA Director, has had a sympathetic ear tuned on their wave length for over 30 years. More than sympathetic, she's devoted most of her life to providing a "shelter, not a pound" for animals.

This being "Be Kind to Animals" week, Miss Laidley willingly told a bit of the birth and history of the SPCA in Kenton County. "In the old days, the dog catcher was a brutal manor so I used to hear. When I was a girl the catcher used to put the dogs in cages on the river banks. We even heard they were used for rifle practice." CONCERNED, but not knowing where to start, Miss Laidley read in the papers about a barber in Ludlow, Robert Staton, who was getting up a petition to remove a certain dog catcher from his station for cruelty. "When I saw someone else interested, I knew It was my chance.

It was put into the hands of the county. "THEY MADE me dog tax collector for the county." But she took no salary and although reluctant to admit it, Miss Laidley has not since received compensation for her services which she still performs. The late Judge Joseph L.

Goodenough was the first SPCA president. The new laws said the commissioners had to provide a shelter. "We had two old shacks on the river bank at first. Then Miss Matta Danner, who had a little store here and sold pencils to school children, left us a piece of property. "We sold It and bought the present property at 3L Highway and Horsebranch Road eight and a half acres.

"WE HAVE DOGS, cats raccoons, possums, pigeons, ducks and even a skunk. -In the old days we had horses who were found wandering about. Now they sell the dogs and cats to families providing -Enquirer (Bob Frte) Photo 'CVm Yon Hear Above The Miss Laidley and her boarders Miss Laidley was born on Second Street across from what is now Booth Memorial Hospital. About 15 years ago she bought a small home across the street from the shelter, where she can be near her charges.
