"Contaet" Link To
Keep Them Posted

A miniature news sheet to keep
it's members and friends informed
on the activities and interests of
the church, has made it's bow TO
the First Presbyterian congrega-
ton, Euclid at Nela aves.
Given the appropriate title of
Contact, the four page leaflet
hopes to be just that to all who
attend the church +. to contact
them every two weeks with news
of the various phases of the church
program.
In this first issue under the head
"This Churvh" Contact says:
"There may be people who have
moved into the neighborhood or in
to the city who have become inter-
ested in the services of this church.
It may also be true that they have
found it difficult to find out just
what the program of our church is
and what activities are carried on
within its supervision"
Then follows a briefing in a nut
shell of every extra as well as
regular activity. 1t concludes with
the thought that this church
stands ready not to be ministered
unto, but to minister" In this
service Contact should prove a
helpful channel.

Streetcar Chat
Starts A Church

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
first of a series on the beginning

They talked on the streetcar.
three East Cleveland men going
down town to business fifty years
ago and the consequences of that
talk are still important to many
people in spite of the number of
years that have since passed.
Two of the three men are ex-
periencing the results, Franklin
G. Smith for years president of
the Osborn Mfg, and George w.
Phypers who has been in the in
surance business for years and last
year was president of the Insur-
ance Board of Cleveland. The third
man, Mr.. Frank Phillips, has since
died.
What did they talk about, these
three? They talked about forming
"a Baptist Church in East Cleve-
land so that they would not have
to go to the 18th ST., or to Wilson
ave. Church on what is now 55th
st.
They sent out letter under thei,
three names to all East CLEVELAND
Baptists calling a meeting al

Fire Chief Steffens Warns Against
CareIessness As Cause Of Most Fires

"What does this mean to you

Iiabout 100 that you will have .
fire in your home, and one chance
in twenty that you will have a
fire in your home in the next five
years. The fire loss for the first
six months of 1850 is 1867, III, 900.
"How long can we stand such a
tremendous loss Something must
be done to stop it. We can if we
all become fire conscious.
Tremendous waste of our raw
materials is brought about each
year by forest fires. More than
10000 acres of land fostering
enough timber to construct homes
for over u million people are con-
summed annually by fire.
"Today our fires are not only
caused by kicking over lanterns,
they are caused by plain careless

such as:
Children playing with matches"
"Carelessness in smoking. Smoking

trimmings was furnished the entire
crew for Sunday dinner. Not to be
omitted was Sunday morning cof-
fee hour at 10 a. m. Hot coffee
was brought to the cabin site by
Mr.. Nordquist, caretaker for Camp
Yakewi. Free doughnuts were fur
nished by John Plunkett of the
Jack Frost Do-Nut shop. Peanuts,
but not for free, were peddled by

buyers that he ended up feeding
peanuts to the squirrels. The three
meals were cooked by Mrs. Nord-
quist and served to the Kiwanians
by Miss Myra Bumgardner, the
executive director of the Cleveland
Camp Fire Girls.
The cabin builders were in

City Buying
Wide Variety
Of Equipment

While nothing really big was on
the agenda of the Tuesday night
City Commission meeting, a num-
Der of matters which tend for
greater efficiency in operation and
conveniences to citizens were
transacted.
Since 1947 the city has met one
half of the expense of uniforms
worn by policemen. Now the ordi-
nance has been amended to include
full payment for the uniform of
the motorcycle patrolman whose
job not only requires additional
items, such as riding boots, but is
a bit harder on clothing since he
has no protection from the weather.
The city let bids as follows:
Post Hole Digger. Low bid Gray
bar Electric Co. for 1915. This
equipment will be capable of dig
ging a hole 16 inches to nine feet
deep and will be used in setting
light poles, etc.
Tennis Nets. An order for % at
$29.85 each to the Koenig Hard
ware Co. Other bids went up to
$32.70 each.
SALT. A ten cent increase and a
limited three month bid was the
best offer. Bid went to Interna-
tional Salt Co. for $10.10 a ton for
fine salt and SLIGO a ton for
coarse salt. This is the same COM
pany from which city has been
buying salt,
Street Sweeper. The best bid for
the sale of the city's used sweeper
was $1255 from University y
Heights. The city has already pur-
chased new one, making two
pieces of this equipment.
Paint Machine: This equipment
will be used to line traffic lanes
etc. 1t carries a IL gallon paint
pot and has a trailer on which the
operator rides. Bid went to Kelley
Creswell Co. for $775.50. Other
bids went up to 1875.
The commission recessed to 8:15
a. m. Monday, October 9Th when
bids for the paving of the city's
first off-street parking area in
Hawley Park will be considered.
The bids arrived Tuesday giving
insufficient time to study them and
make a recommendation to the
commission, City Finance Director
G. T. Apthorp reported.
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-10-05

City Hall, the Zoning Board Of
Appeals and the City Commission
made thorough study of the pro-
posal.
Among other things it prepared
map showing all abutting or ad-
jacent property which might be
effected by the zoning change. This
area added up to 1912 acl IS.
Against this was checked the ac e
age of property owners who Lad
expressed an opinion on the re-
quest. 1t was found that propertx
owners opposing represented S.2i
acres; those favoring 3.15 acres.
and those taking no stand, 4.76
acres.
The Franciscan Sisters pur-
chased the property in April, 1886.
At the hearing of the Zoning Board
in March, preceding the sale, the
minutes reveal that Mary A. Glea-
son, the owner who was selling the
land, was requesting zoning to
permit it to be used as home
for the new owners.
The subsequent motion granting
a special Class Us classification
was passed with the distinct
understanding that this action in
no way commits the City Commits
sion or the Zoning Board to any
other use of the building, or any
of the land owned by Mary A.
Gleason other than the use above
specifically mentioned.
The minutes further set forth
"Mr. Chamberlain Ia commission
err stated that he was voting
Yea with the understanding that
the motion covered the use of the
property as home for the Francis
can Sisters only"
The sale was consummated in
the following April.
1t is interesting to compare the
minutes of the March 1886 and the
September 1850 meetings Of the
Zoning Board of Appeals. A num-
ber of property owners who are
now opposing the rezoning request
at that time approved the action
of the board. However, they now
specifically disapprove of having
on this same property home foi
the aged, hospital, or an institu-
| tion of any kind. They do not OBJ
ject to the residence of the Fran
ciscan Sisters as such.
In concluding its communication
to the Alvernia Convent setting
forth its action, the Zoning Board
of Appeals indicates it is their feel
ing that zoning ordinances were
created for the protection of ada
cent property as well as the well
fare of the public in general, and
that considerable weight must be
given to the opinions of adjacent
property owners as to whether or
not any proposed new use would
be detrimental to their properties.
Plans for the proposed building
were shown and explained at the
September 7th meeting by R. w.
Stickla of Stickla, Kelley & Stick
la, Architects.

zoning Board Denies
Plea For Home For
Aged On NeIacrest

On the basis that the original
zoning of their property was for
the sole purpose of providing a
home for the Franciscan Sisters;
and, on the basis of a pro-ratio op-
position to the request to rezone
to permit erection of home for
the aged, the East Cleveland Zon-
ing Board of Appeals has denied
the request.
The property in question faces
1880 Terrace I'd. and extends south
to Nelacrest rd. 1t comprises eight
acres. The Nelacrest frontage is
now in residential, apartment
house zone. Other portions of the
property are in residential, single
house zone.
The proposed home for the aged
was to face Nelacrest rd.
Following the public hearing on
the request held September 7th in

Fire Prevention Week, October
9th to- 14tk will be observed in
! East Cleveland with q carefully
planned inspection of every pub
lie building in town. In addition
Fred A. Steffens, chief of the
department issues a statement to
East Clevelanders setting forth the
Importance of continued fight
against fire.
Further effort to impress the
seriousness of fire, Chief Steffens
has distributed some 200 Fire Pre-
vention Posters about town.
The inspection, which is just an
emphasis on the continued year
round program of the department,
will be made by department men,
bers. Capt. Robert Bytheway will
inspect all school buildings, Lieut..
Kenneth Wills and Lieut.. Robert
Harris will visit all apartment
buildings. Lieut.. Don Holtz has
been assigned to inspect all indus
trial plants and Chief Steffens will
check lumber and coal yards.
Home owners and renters alike
are asked to make their own in
spections and rid their properties
of everything inducive to fire. The
Importance of keeping properties
clear of rubbish and of being con-
stantly careful is shown in the
city's fire loss figure for the first
six months of this year. 1t was
$18,040 compared to . 1949 total
of $15,51O.
The city maintains one Of the
best possible equipped fire depart
ments with 80 trained men. Equip
ment and men are assigned to Sta
tion 1, Marloes ave. and to Station
2, Shaw ave.
In his Fire Prevention Week
message, Chief Steffens says:
"Fire Prevention Week is OBJ
served each year in commemora-
tion of the great Chicago fire which
is supposed to have been caused by
Mrs. O'Leary's cow, kicking over
a lantern.
According to the National Board
of Fire Underwriters report each
year 100000 home fires occur;
about 10000 people die and many
thousands more are MANNED or in
jured as the result of fire.
