A Fight Is On
J. r. Fifolt


After a period of idleness, due
to the pressman striking, local
newspapers resumed operations.
Along with news of other inter-
est came startling developments
as to recent workings of the To-
cal Democratic machine, headed
by Mr.. Ray T. Miller, develop
ments which vitally effect our
community.
Mr.. Mike Lucak, President of
the City Council, listening to the
voice of his master, disregard
ing the interests of the City of
Cleveland, came up with some
fancy appointments to commit
tees, for the ensuing year.
Councilman Edward Kovacic,
who has been an outstanding
member of the Council, praised
by newspaper on numerous oc-
casions, was removed as Chair
man of the Utilities Committee.
Councilman Edward Pucel, from
Ward 10, with whom our COM
munity has become quite ac-
quainted thru his collaborated
interest with Councilman Kova-
cic, in promoting the welfare of
our neighborhood, was taken off
the Planning committee. In re-
taliation of support given Coun-
Gilman Kovacic and Pucel, in
their stand for bettermen of gov
ernment, Councilman John S.
Mudri, lost the floor leadership
and the chairmanship of the FL
nance Committee. The voice.
directed Mike Lucak to make
these moves for daring to op-
pose the "boss''.
Knowing the people of this
community as we'll as other pub
lie spirited citizens of the City
of Cleveland, these political
moves should boomerang. This
was clearly brought out by re-
cent editorial in the Cleveland
Press. Here is where you and
your friends can get into the
picture and demonstrate that de-
serving public officials cannot
be kicked around in such fash
ion. ,..~
Councilman Edward Kovacic
has filed as candidate for County
Commissioner against the vet
eran incumbent J. German, ia
vorite of the party.
Councilman Edward L. Pucel
has filed as a candidate for De-
mocratic state central commit
tee in the Goth Congressional
District against the organiza-
tion choice, D. w. Duffy.
John Mudri, has filed as a
candidate for state committee
man against Mr.. Lucak.
Also, John Gornik, Jr., recog-
nized Ward Leader in %, and
Edward Pucel's organization,
have filed their own slate of
precinct committeeman and
committeeWomen. Who there
are We'll announce shortly.
Strong support for these coun-
Gilman as we'll as their slate of
precinct members, resulting in
their overwhelming election,
will demonstrate to the party
bosses and his henchman, that
the people of Cleveland stand for
fai: play and will not tolerate
retalitory moves in their part,
with total disregard for good
government.

Anniversary Month
February #

February is the anniversary
month of six important events
in Cleveland history; and this
six is being complemented by an
equal number of features on the
current calendar Of the Cleve-
land Sesquicentennial Celebra-
tion.
The two first Sesqui events
this February were the Ballet
Russo which played in the Music
Hall February 1 to 3 and the
Golden Gloves fistic tourney
which was featured by the
Arena February /, 5 and s.
According to Sesqui officials
the famous AL Sirat Grotto Cir
Gus is expected to draw capacity
crowds at the Public Hall during
it's tWo-week run from February
II to "a.
The Greater Cleveland ANA
teur basketball tournament is
scheduled in the regular gyms of
the contestants during the week
of February 9 to 16 while The
Northeastern Ohio A. A. u.
women's district basketball tour
ney will be played in st. Stanis-
laus gymnasium late in the
month on a date not yet deter
mined.
Throughout the entire month
the Cleveland Orchestra will be
on the air every Saturday night
from six to seven over the Nut
ual Network playing from Sever
ance Hall on the End and 23rd,
from Smith College at North
hampton, Massachusetts on the
9th, and from Harrisburg, Pa.
on the 18th.
"Saluting the past" we find it
was on February 10, 1907 that
by an act Of the Connecticut
legislature Cuyahoga, also Port
age and Ashtabula were created.
Forty-four years later, again
in February, Cleveland cele-
brated the completion of the
Cleveland, Columbus and Gin
cnlnati Railroad. Kennedy's His
tory of Cleveland states that on
"February 21st, 1851 the first
through train was run from Co.
lumbus to Cleveland, bearing
the members of the General AS
sembly, State officials, and many
prominent citizens from the
capital, and from along the line.
During mid-century educa-
tional and culture activities
were rapidly coming to the
front in Cleveland. The present
Society is the son and heir to the
Cuyahoga County Historical
Society which chose February
Is, 1848 as it's birthday. Then
eleven years later in 1869 the
Cleveland Public Library was
opened to the public. The Lii
brary as an institution had come
into being two years before
when a legislative statute au-
thorized the levy of a tax of one
tenth of a mill for library pur-
poses. In the fall OF the follow
ing year a room was engaged on
the third floor of the Northrop
and Harrington Block, Superior
Street, and fitted up for library
purposes. The public opening
and dedication were on Febru-
ary II, 1869.
The next important February
event in the history of the city
took place on the 9Th of that
month in 1898. On that date the
Cleveland Board of Trade be-
came the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce. The membership of
the Chamber at that time was
9O1.
The most recent of the six
historic Februarys was the
February of 1881. On the 5th

ITALIAN Hall

ITALIAN Hall again comes into the
1imelight, not as a historic place Of en-
tertainment this time but as a build
ing needing some kind of physical sup
port. A five-person committee is IN
specting it to determine whether minor
repairs alone are needed or whether
major structural changes must be made
to perpetuate it's use. The City Council
is to have a report on Wednesday.
In either event something should
be done to preserve this theater in
which Joseph Jefferson and other great
actors of the past appeared and which
has served 50 long as a Little Theater.
furthermore, shortly before the war
brought an end to ITALIAN Society per-
formances, younger members of the
society accepted considerable financial
responsibility for its restoration and did
splendid work themselves in redecorat-
ing.
Because of it's historic associations,
anything that might be done to destroy
Thalian Hall would cause widespread
grief among prewar Wilmingtonians.
The decision would rest with the Coun-
Gil but the loss would fall upon the
people.
Wilmington has watched too many
of it's historic places disappear. 1t is
time to preserve the few that remain
among the chief of which is ITALIAN
Hall.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

In the recent world champion
ship Masters Individual Tourna-
ment, Morrie Ellis, an ex-service
man, came close to upsetting the
precedent that no player has ever
won this title twice. Ellis won in
1910, and this year finished second,
six and oae-half points behind
Robert McPherran.
Ellis liked today's hand best of
all those in the Individual. Five
clubs looks like a difficult con-
tract with SO many aces and kings
in the North-South hands.
Ellis (East) ruffed the first dia-
mond and had to select his line Of
play. If he tried to ruff out the
spades, ne was sure that the op-
ponents would win the first spade
lead and return a club.
Deciding to play South for the
king of clubs, he led the queen
and took the ~finesse, then led the
jack of clubs. Next he cashed the
ace of hearts and played a small
heart to the queen. When North
and South followed. he cashed
ace of clubs.
Thus Ellis made six club tricks
and five heart tricks for his con-
tract.

French Defeat Communists

All persons who have watched the
spread of communism in Europe with
alarm will welcome the setback the
French communists suffered in Sum-
days election.
1t is the most heartening political
event on the Continent in months. For
while it was merely French communists
who suffered defeat, it is not to be
forgotten that, whatever Moscow saws
to the contrary, communism the world
over is one political faith and the Rus
sian capital is it's Mecca. 8.
The Influence of the Soviet Union

lngly- in the countries of Europe il
seemed improbable that France could
Withstand the onrush. And with France

ANOTHER MAN BY GALILEE
BY L T. L L

My friend, DR.. A. c. Harte-
once of Mobile, India, Russia, Da-
mascus and Jerusalem, whose
cream came true in the new YIN.
CA. Building in the holy city -
wrote me recently from his new
home on the shore of Galilee, above
Tiberias. Age and illness retired
him from active YIN CA. service;
but only when he enters upon the
larger service of eternity will Or.
Harte cease to be busy in behalf
of his Master.
DR.. Harte, gentleman, scholar,
statesman and cosmopolite, is filled
with a passion of devotion to the
Land of the Lord. He knows Pal
estine and Syria from end to end
and all of its sacred sites. Now
he is creating on the shores Of the
Lake OF Galilee, a center, akin to
our familiar American Christian
resorts, such as Winona, Montreal.
Estes Park, ETC., where Christian
workers may find rest; and where
the youth Of the Near East may
be gathered for conferences.
When I think of other men, "re-
tired" and pining their few re-
manning years away in futile ef
forts to xiii time" I contrast
them with sucn as DR.. Harte, who
fulfill the Scripture promise that
they shall bring forth fruit in old
age"-though DR.. Harte has bare
ly reached his seventies.
Lovers of Thee, and of the scene
Of Thine earthly labors, O Saviour,

ness and gratitude. We thank Thee
Tor their full lives and for their
beneficient ministries. Amen.

The confusion lasted for hours, and
it became apparent that whatever

BY JOHN SKIES

Being a sissy sentimentalist my
self, living in the misty past in
which an actual slap in the face
comes up to now, dimmed by the
ages, as a caress, l find myself
deeply touched by the nostalgia
yearnings hereabouts for the older
days.
And you'd be surprised at the
people who turn a tear-dimmed-
figuratively, anyway-eye for a
longing squirt toward the past.
The business of the trade taking
me around to the sheriff's office on
a quiet Sunday night, l fell into
a conversation with Moojie Regis
ter, Earnest Priest, Mac Taylor,
and Graham Koonce. all sheriff S
deputies, and Skeets James.
There were several topics which
occupied our conversational at
tention from the beginning, such
as the v~agaries of men who fall in
to the clutches of the law, base
ball, and other items. But newt
ably we began, slowly at first then
intellectually, dipping into the
past.
Mr.. James turned out to be the
leading protagonist of things of
the yesteryear. And this was some
what surprising to me because,
for some reason or other, I'd mired
into the notion that Mr.. James was
something of a cynical realist who
had little truck for the lilac and
old lace flimsies OF the dear, dead
days beyond recall, to coin a
phrase.
But listen TO Mr.. James:
"When The Star ran that picture
some time back of the Sandfiddler
