81 am sure" DR.. Silver de-
clared in a written statement,
"that DR.. Goldman would not
wish to carry with him fictitious
figures to Israel, where he might
have to do some tall explaining
for the role which he played in
the so-called Silver Morgenthau
dispute, for the failure of the 1949
campaign and perhaps also for
the decline in the Zionist political
position in Washington.
If DR.. Goldman referred to the
monies raised for all purposes by
the welfare funds in the United
States. the best available figures
are that in ls4s some $20s.000. 1000
were raised. and in l949. some
$l65.000.000. There was a drop
there not of 10 percent but of ap-
proximatelY 20 percent. If he re-
ferred to the monies raised by
the U. J. A.. then the best avail
able figures are that in ls4s $l44.
100000 were raised. and the best
estimates for 1949 Of cash and
pledges on account of the ls4s
campaign were about 100000
600 - a drop of about 80 percent.
whether this serious drop in
the totals raised by American
Jews and in the amounts to the
U. j. A. are to be attributed ex-
clusively to the delay in organ
izing the 1949 U. ]. A. drive, as
fOr. Goldman suggests, is, of
course, matter of personal judg-
ment, but surely the figures
should be given as accurately as
possible" DR.. Silver concluded.

Giving it a whirl: Members of

were kept spinning by Mike and

Adult School,
Are Listed

AS applications for membership
in the East Cleveland Adult Rec
creation School continue to come in,
several suggestions have been Of
fered of interest to enrollees in
the various courses, according to
C. Cassil Reynard, director.
Many of these have come from
\ the teachers of the courses to be-
gin on October 9th, and several
have come from East Clevelanders
planning to enroll or having pre-
vious experience in the fields con-
cerned, Mr.. Reynard added.
"The main purpose of the school
is to help the people of East Cleve-
land do things better, not to teach
q set body of theory" he pointed
,ut.
Here are some pointers, listed
under the different courses.
CONTRACT BRIDGE: Brin g
your own cards. Tables will be pro-
vided.
CHILDREN'S DANCING: Have
the children wear street shoes.
Both tap and ballet dancing will be
!, ,y,lyght, and the dancers will wear
heir shoes for tapping and will
pirouette and entrecht in their
stocking feet. This is the way it is
done, Mr.. Reynard has been told,
and the floor of the girls gym
at Shaw will be extra clean for the
dance lessons.
HOUSEHOLD CRAFTS: This is
going to be an extremely practical
course. For example, one man has
an arm chair stripped down to the
wood, springs and burlap which he
will bring in, together with the
stuffing and fabric necessary to re-
upholster it; the class will learn
how to do the work, and the owner
of the chair "will abide by the re-
suit" Mr.. Reynard added. An
other man has a maple bookcase
that is partly finished, and under
the direction of the instructor the
class will help him finish it. The
idea is to bring your own projects.
SEWING: On this subject, Direc-
tor Reynard, "being a mere man."

Revamped Lighting
Progressing Nicely

With the arrival of poles and
other equipment, the city's own
street re-lighting project is prog
ressing at good speed and a num-
ber of the more heavily travelled
residential streets will greet the
longer evenings far better lighted.
Taylor rd. is now completed from
Euclid ave. to Trace rd. Twelve
foot arms are replacing the eight
foot arms on Shaw ave. Terrace
rd and Forest Hills ave., west of
Superior.
This longer arm, it is explained
brings the light source out to the
middle of the street, and avoids
sharp trimming of shade trees
which is sometimes necessary with
the shorter arm.
The next lighting job, as far
as the city is concerned, will be
North Taylor rd., Euclid to Colt;
and Nela ave. from Euclid to Ter
race rd.
The balance of South Taylor rd.
is Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Co. project to the Heights line.

NoEast Turn
At Taylor
East Bound

In an effort to prevent the traf-
flc jam and speed up Euclid ave.
traffic through the peak hours,
the left hand turn for East bound
traffic on Taylor rd. at Euclid is
being eliminated and east bound
traffic desiring to go north will
make the left turn one block
further east, at Colt I'd.
To avoid tie-up of east bound
traffic at this point, a left turn
arrow is being installed on the
suspension traffic signal and west
bound traffic will be held back
with red light sufficiently long
to permit northbound traffic to
make the turn. East bound traffic
will continue on the green light.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
also announces replacement of the
No Left Turn signal at Noble rd.
At Superior and Euclid, where
new traffic direction was put
into effect this late summer, Chief
Weaver announced that a further
study is bringing out a slight
change here to permit traffic en-
tering Euclid from Superior to the
north will have little more time
to make the permitted left turn
into east bound traffic lanes.
Because of the width of this
intersection two to three second
lag between signals is being timed
to permit vehicles to clear the in
tersection.
City officials are now making
a study of the possibility of using
a different cycle for traffic lights
along Euclid ave. during the rush
hours. This would mean one cycle
for morning and late afternoon
hours, and a slower cycle for the
off peak hours. Such a plan would
require the installation of added
control equipment.
Work is about to start on the
replacement of the four-way sus-
pension traffic sioral % +ho Too

section. This work Is beng Gus.s

Preparations for Shaw High

October 1920 are being made un-

raising fund to be conducted by

Also plans are underway for the

jamin and Nancy Coutant, Pros
pect Elementary pupils, are also
in the cast. Mr.. George Todd, gen.
eral chairman of the Charity Fund
is serving in an advisory capacity
as faculty head of the Council.
Started last year, the one-big-
drive will provide the fund from
which the school will meet the
many charity calls which hereto
fore had meant individual calls for
student contribution. It's the
schools own overall community
chest" plan, storing away from
one concentrated effort the con-
tributions to be dispensed on a pro-
ratio basis as the various calls for
funds come in.

School Bid
Calls For
S165>930

By deferring certain extra fea-
lures which it was hoped to include
in the plans for the gymnasiums at
Caledonia and Rozelle schools, the
board of education last Friday
was able to reduce the first total
bid costs on the two Structures
from $191,996 to $165, $50. On
this amount they let the contracts
for the work to be started at once.
The difference in the two figures,
and which is still more than the
original estimate is due to the
approximate 25 percent "up" in
building and equipment costs.
Having a third and major part
of the overall rehabilitation pro-
gram-the Shaw gymnasium-stilI
to be contracted for out of the
total $650,000 voted for the en-
tire program, the board was of
necessity forced to postpone the
certain added features it was hoped
to include now. However, with the
space still available they plan to
put in the added showers, lockers,
and storage spaces later. The
rooms will be in readiness since
any necessary doorways, etc., are
being included in the present pro-
gram.
The bids were finally let al
! follows:
General Contracting; The Bol.
ton-Pratt Co., $139,859. Electrica.
work, The California Electric Co.,
$8,951. Weiss Plumbing & Heating
Co., $17,120.
The board also decided to pro-
ceed at once with the Shaw gym
nasium and at it's October meet
ing will take definite action on
plans for this structure.
The building is to be erected on
school property on Shaw ave-,
south of Prospect School.
The board has recently acquired
two residential properties to the
south to add 90 feet frontage for
total frontage of 400 feet.
Cost of the two properties is be-
ing met from the school districts
building fund accumulated through
the sale of property on Euclid ave-,
west of Strathmore for $4,000 Tin
two parcels) and a transfer of
an unused balance in the sinking
fund.
The new structure will not in
fringe on Prospect School play
ground although the play area will
be used for parking when night
events are scheduled in the gym.
