Chimney Sweep Bret
Yodels Way To
“Nigh lint Johnny” Lenney, last of
u long lino of chimnev sweeps, has
swept into State College, vodelmg to
the community at huge that he mn\
he seemed to haul their ashes, clean
their flues, m what not, relieving them
of fire menaces, launch v bills, and sc
foith, and incidentally to entertain
ovoivone with his amusing appeal
.nice, Ins quick wit and his silvery
voice.
Lenney is no ouhnaiy chrt-ehasei
and did not always pm sue his gnmy
and dusty occupation. Before the war
lie was a waitei in an immaculate ics
tamnnt, ctoinallv muting out tiny
smudges and eonsideimg a speck of
dust us the banc of his cMstenee.
Seivmg at the fmnt with the Canad
i in expoditionaiv forces, he gruduallj
forgot Ins shining shut fiont and tin*
ghllc'i mg tops of spotless tables
Moieovei, on his discharge Lonnej
found a woman taking care of the po
sition which wns once so familuu to
him and was accordingly left without
a job
Completes Eight-Year Tour
Expencnee soon taught him that
theio were few places foi the cx-sol
diei and he did not (ind wandering
veiy lemuneialive. Thus, piessed fa
necessity, he hit upon the idea of
cleaning chimneys, icalizing that this
w is a gicat unoccupied field which
offeicd plenty of nppoitumty for m
igmahtv. Johnny has just completed
an eight-year tour of the countiv,
making a specialty of fraternity
flues, and he claims he has still to
meet the job which doesn't “soot Jum
to a T ”
Ills tall silk toppci, with his occu
pation icttcicd mound the front in
white, and his lusty vodelmg are Lon
mVs mails of distinction lie never
fails us a ccntei of attraction when
lie wends /ns way about the stieets
of a town explaining to the lieu-.. -
keepcis just whv then flues should
be uncncumbeied with caibon and
fieed fmfn soot. Noi docs the chim
ney sweep go about his unusual duties
as would a common laboiei. lie has
a film background of scientific know
ledge ami is well % cased in the study
of fue pievcntion
Also Poet and Lecturer
As o poet and lectinei, Lenncy bis
added much to his fame. lie has com
posed many w idcly-cnculated bits of
vetse ami more than one chamber of
commence has given attention to h*s
solution of their smoke and soot prob
lems lhs versatility makes him as
much at home m these wlute-collai
duties ns in tinmpmg übout town
with «-oot\ blushes mueasmg the
grimy nppeniuncc of his faded mili-
Laiy tunic Lenney claims he is “lush
wuth a bit of Scotch” and probnbly dc
lives fiom this ougm his pa’ir of
«pii Klmg eyes, his bi oad smile and his
invaluable sense of humoi
The touted chimney swoop is not
tumbled by any lack of volubility and
is not at all bushful in making a pros
pective customer awaie of his tongue
twistmg attainments In the midst of
a long list of lapuily enunciated rea
sons why a chimney should be clean
ed, he will bleak in with, “Everyoi,.
looks up to me foi I'm always m the
an ” And should the customer tim
idly w\un him on his dizzy ascent, his
stock icplv is, “I don't mind the full
ing. itS the sudden stop ”
