Boy Scouts Again
Do Good Turn For
Goodwill Industries

East Cleveland fire stations and
Boy Scouts from troops in this
area will cooperate in the 18th
annual Boy Scout Goodwill In
dustries Good Turn" Day CAM
paign, Saturday, December 10th.
The scouts will rake their an
nual house to house visitation to
collect old clothes and toys for the
Goodwill Industries and take them
to the fire houses which are serv-
ing as central collection depots.
The Goodwill Industries, coun-
ty-wide charitable organization,
takes old clothes, toys, furniture
and household goods and renovates
them for sale to provide employ
ment for worthy, handicapped peo-
pie to give them "a chance instead
of Charity"
According to the Rev. Frank
Baker, head of the Red Feather
Agency located at East Ninth at
Carnegie ave. in Cleveland, "the
need this year is for enough ma
terials to provide $4,000 in wages
and work for people who will need
it most in 1850"
"We are especially in need of
warm, winter clothing" said Rev.
Baker. "Children's apparel and toys
are also greatly in demand and
would help make the holiday nicer
for many of the needy"
The Scouts have set as their
goal, 100000 good turns for Good
will" They will make their house
toulouse calls between 8 am. and
5 pm. armed with Goodwill bags
for clothing and smaller items and
order cards for items trucks will
call for

Beware! Sunday Coat
Thief Is Busy Again

He is here again-the coat thief.
Last winter and the winter before
that members of several churches
lost their overcoats while attending
a service. The first such theft
to be reported this season occurred
Sunday at Calvary Lutheran
Church, Lockwood at Euclid ave.
Edwin Philips, 14721 Elderwood
ave. hung his light gray covert
cloth top coat on rack in the
downstairs of the church. When
he came to put the coat on, it was
gone. Only his scarf draped the
coat hanger.

Comic " Book
Legislation
Now On Book

BY adding an amendment to al
ready existing legislation dealing
with the sale, distribution and pos
session Of the wrong kind of read
ing material, the East Cleveland
City Commission Tuesday evening
now has weapon to use in the
fight against the so-called comic
book.
The amendment covers the pro-
visions and establishes penalties
for violations of the odrdiance.
A copy of the ordinance will be
found elsewhere in this issue. Also
published in this issue is the new
legislation dealing with fees for
electrical installations. 1t makes
null and void the previous legisla-
tion which Finance Director A. P.
Apthorp declared to be "hopelessly
obsolete. The measure is identi-
cal with the one just enacted by
Cleveland.
A determined effort to save all
elm trees on city property from
becoming infected with the Dutch
Elm Disease will be started in
recommendation of City Manager
East Cleveland this coming spring
The Commission endorsed the
Chas. A. Carran to spray all city
owned elms in an effort to halt
the loss of these beautiful shade
trees. Last summer the city toll
was Sc trees.
Mr.. Carran stated that once ar
elm is infected it must be removed
So far there is no known cure fol
the ailing tree.
1t is estimated that the cost fol-
equipment, material and labor fol
the project will average $1,000 an
nually, but the expenditure, in the
minds of the officials, is we'll worth
it to halt further spread Of the
disease and the consequent loss of
them.
John Rich, chairman of Selective
Service Board 20 and formerly as
sociated with local board during
World War II, renewed his plea
for removal of the Honor Roll from
in front of City Hall, or at least
change in the legend which heads
it. City Manager Carran and the
Commission agreed to changing
the line which now indicates that
the names thereon are of people
''in" service-but the board itself
will continue to stand, they declare.
until the permanent record is es-
tablished in a Memorial Room to
be included in the proposed wing
to be added to the East Cleveland
Library.
The Budget Commission submit
ted its statement of the new tax
rate. AS previously indicated by
both school district and munich
pality, there is a one mill reduc-
tion, shared equally by the two
taxing subdivisions, and due, in
both instances, to a reduction in
sinking fund requirements.

Do you go to church? Why?

Do you go to church! why
Did you ever have someone ask
you that question? If the answer
is Eyes" did you ever ask yourself
"why?" Did you ever try to put
down on paper in so many words
the reason why you go to church?
In all probability you never have
done this. Few people have. One
might discuss it, but write it? No,
But here is your chance to put
down, in so words or less, the
rest of the phrase Il go to church
