State Issue To
Be Voted tuesday

Among the ballots the voter will
receive at the polls next Tuesday
is one bearing three state issues.
The most clamor has been made
over the proposed law to permit
the coloring of oIeomargerine. The
butter lobby defeated the bill in
the legislature, and by petition it
has been submitted to the voters of
the state.
Most butter is colored and most
housewives see no reason why oleo
shouldn't be colored by the manu-
facturer.
Another proposed law would
permit the election of additional
probate judges in counties where
the population warrants. Primari-
ly the bill is intended for Cuyaho-
ga County. An additional judge is
needed here. Vote Yes.
The third state issue is the Mas
sachusetts ballot. All candidates
would appear on one list with des-
ignation of party after their names.
Most of the political bosses are
opposing this bill which was placed
on the ballot by petition, We be-
lleve this type of ballot would make
for the selection of better public
officials. Vote Yes.

Very Quiet" Here
HaIlowe en- Night
Police Are Happy
"Verv quiet

"Very quiet
Such is the report of East Cleve-
land police of Halloween in East
Cleveland. Complaints reached a
new low. The children, say police,
were too busy devoting energy and
time to that old Halloween tradi-
tion, begging, to get into mischief.
From the appearance of the bags
which the children lugged, they
had a big night. Fruit, cookies,
candy, ETC., were handed out at
practically every door where they
stopped in their happy trouping
through their respective neighbor-
hood. Strange to say, the few
instances where actual damage was
done, is credited to boys old enough
to know better.
In one instance four children,
varying in age from to II years
of age, damaged a total of So win
dows in Cleveland Transit System
vehicles at the Windermere yard.
Parents of the children will meet
the damage involved, a total of
Sis.
In another instance children
filled rolls of paper with sulphur
and tucked them into a milk chute.
The flames smothered before they
could get a good start, thus avert
ing what might have been a serious
fire.
Chief of Police Weaver says,
''Thank you," to the children who
responded so unitely to his pre-
Halloween appeal to have a good
time without doing damage to life
or property.
ITO the boys and girls in the
hospital" was written on the card
tucked in a half-bushel of apples
brought to Huron Road Hospital
by group of children. They were
sharing their Halloween begging
loot with the kids who could not
get out and join the fun.

Thank Donors To
Chest Fund

Through this medium, John Pok-
orney, chairman, Mrs. Grover c.
Snyder and w. V. Cumler, vice
chairman, wish to express their
sincere appreciation for the splen-
did cooperation and untiring eff
forts of the captains and workers
who served in the 1949 Community
Chest Campaign.
There is nothing glamorous, they
point out, about the hard work of
raising funds. Every volunteer goes
into the job knowing that it is
community service that must be
done. 1t pays off, however, in a
particular way, the satisfaction of
having had part in great hum
unitarian cause.
Thanks again all volunteers and
East Clevelanders who shared in
this community effort which up to
Monday totalled $1,000 toward a
goal of $4,000.

from four to six o'clock. The
church is located at Page and
Euclid ave. Members and friends
are invited to come and see the

entrance way has new do" that
contrasts pleasantly with it's for
mer appearance. The ceiling is the
suspended type with sound-proof
plastering. Modern lighting and
heating units have been installed
and the decoration is in a soft
yellow tone. Because a new floor
involves renewal of the utility
services which pass under it, max
ing it an expensive project, this
part of the rooms modernization
is of necessity deferred at this
time.
Floors in the gym and other
rooms on this floor have been re-
sanded or linoleum covered, all the
walls and ceilings are redecorated
in soft pastel tones.
From the grease-resistant lin
oleum floor to the modern lighting
in the ceiling, the enlarged kitchen
has had a complete "once over" to
include new equipment and better
working space.

sion of Spence Kline.
