Saturday morning, April 1st,
Uncle Sam will start his 18th
Decenni Census. In East Cleveland
SO enumerators under Grew Lead
ers Robert j. Swadey, 3410 Wins
ford rd., and Russell B. Wolff,
16141 GIynn I'd. will start ringing
door bells to jot down the infor-
nation which will make up the
census from the sc districts in
which the city has been divided.
Each enumerator carries his Of
ficial credentials and he will ask
only the questions on the official
census form. Joseph P. Null, local
district census supervisor urges
all householders to ask to see Gre
dentials before giving any infor-
nation.
Possibly one question which has
been bothering many people is that
relative to income. But one need
not tell the enumerator ones in
come. If one prefers, he may ask
for Form PIG, fill it out and mail
it direct to Washington. This form
does not include either name or
address of the person filling it
out. 1t gives only the census dis
trict since its one object is to pro-
vide statistics on income in var
ious areas of the country.
Eight questions apply to each
person enumerated. They are:
Name, Age Relation to head of the
house, Race, Sex, Age, Marital
standing, State or Country of
birth.
Two questions concern persons
IA years of age or over: They are
/. Job status
2. Kind of job.
Only a sample of persons selected
by chance according to the way
their name falls on the census
schedule, namely each fifth per-
son enumerated will be asked the
following four questions. These are
also for statistical record only:
/. Place of residence year ago.
2. Country Of birth of father
and mother.
3. Have you attended school?
a. Highest grade attended.
Every fifth person in the IA
years or over bracket will be
asked the following four questions:
/. Number of weeks worked in
1949.
2. Income in 1949.
3. Veteran standing.
4. Duration Of unemployment if
unemployed.
The 22nd congressional district,
Of which Greater Cleveland is
part, is the largest census district
in the entire country.
1t is estimated that it will re-
quire up to December, 1852 to COM
plete the tabulation and the statis-
tical reports from this census.

Niergarth Is
Given High
Band Honor

A signal and merited honor has
come to Milton Niergarth, director
of Shaw High School band and
orchestra. At the recent meeting
of the American Band Masters
Association held in Ann Arbor,
Mich. Mr.. >Niergarth was elected

and more than local prestige, ac-
cording to G. C. Bainum, the Sec

Light Levy
Remains On
Fall Ballot

Following last weeks action by
which the city cancelled plans at
the May primary to submit "pay
as you go" capital improvement
fund as a charter amendment,
many citizens seem to have gained
the impression that the action
also cancelled the city's plan to SUBJ
nit a light levy at the November
election. This, however, is not the
case.
Finance Director G. T. Apthorp
Monday stated that the lighting
bond issue will go on the ballot in
November, as already decided upon.
Whether the ''pay as you go" char
ter amendment will be submitted
at that time, is still question.
In the meanwhile the city is con-
tinuing with the lighting program
already started. On Monday it
completed installations on Shaw
ave. between Euclid ave. and Ter
race rd. This is definitely the last
word in residential lighting fixture.
Newly designed by General Elec-
trio CO. at Nela Park, East Cleve-
land is the first in this community
to have it.
The new style luminaire has IL
foot arm and its globe is SO con-
structed as to throw the beam up
and down the street and to deflect
light towards the sidewalk instead
of throwing it against the houses.
1t has 268 watt bulb against the
present 1913 watt bulb.
The longer arm also eliminates
much heavier pruning of shade
trees. The majority of arms are
four feet, with some extending to
eight feet.
With this completion, Shaw ave.,
except for spot near Chambers
School, has been entirely relighted
from the northern boundary line
to Terrace I'd. In this spot the
Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.
is having difficulty in setting few
poles, due to older installations.
However, the problem is being met
and work will be finished there
soon.
Next on the lighting agenda is
Eddy I'd. The same new lamps will
be installed from Euclid to the
Nickle Plate Railroad right of way.
In the meanwhile, William Mar
lowe, head of the city's electrical
department, is having a traffic
light installed at Lockwood and Eu-
cid ave., and studying further the
entire traffic control along Euclid
ave.

An interesting sidelight on the
nomination of Mr.. Niergarth for
this honored membership comes
from the Ann Arbor meeting. 1t
reveals how far a little candle
throws its beams.
usk before the noninees we're
10 be voted upon Earl SI0cum,
director of bands at the University
of North Carolina asked to speak.
Mr.. Slocum said he had become in
terested in band at Albion, Mich.
High School where their coach,
Milt Niergarth, organized the
schools first band. Because he
liked the coach, he joined the band
and as a result chose it as his
life work. Mr.. Slocum said he
wanted d to pay tribute to Mr..
Niergarth and the outstanding
work he has done in this field.
During the intervening years, how
ever, the two have not chanced to
meet. Now both are looking for
ward to the 1851 convention in
Washington, DC. when the one
time-coach and band leader, and
his former gridplayer-musician
pupil plan to renew their friend
ship.
The Washington meeting will
be under the auspices of the lead
ers of the United States Army,
Navy and Marine bands.

Keep After
Says DoIan

If the voting on the County
Charter Commission had been on
the Charter itself, then the Charter
would have passed the four ma
jority vote hurdles.
Miss Eleanor F. Dolan, dean of
Flora Stone Mather College, Wes-
tern Reserve University, and chair
man of the County Charter Com
mission, made the above statement
at the March 23rd dinner meeting
of the League of Women Voters of
Last Cleveland, at which she was
the featured speaker. The meet
ing was held in First Presbyterian
Church.
The four Hurdles" to which Miss
Dolan referred are that of a ma
Jority vote in Cleveland, in the
county as a whole, in the county
outside Cleveland, and a majority
within majority of municipalities
in the county.
"The people want action" the
college dean declared, and went
on to say that although the COM
mission had been slow in getting
organized, it would produce by
June Is Charter which will make
suggestions which will be an i'm
provement over the present sys-
tenn"
1t was evident that Miss Dolan
feels procedure is tagging, but is
hopeful that the commission will
get down to business and proceed
with more speed than has marked
progress to date.
Purpose of the Commission, she
said, sis to do a job for economy
and efficiency in those areas of
government which are of county
wide nature" The exact form of
the Charter is unknown, the col
lege dean admitted, but revealed
that she herself would "work for
a county manager form unless
receive excellent arguments in the
meantime that some other plan will
bring greater benefit to the public"
If you want to get into the
charter the kind of a government
you want, keep after US" declared
Miss Dolan.
Miss DoIan extended an invita-.
tion to all to visit the weekly
meetings of the commission, usu-
ally held each Monday at 300
p. m. in the Cleveland Public
Library. She expressed the hope
that interest in the Commission
would grow. "The voters will have
to decide whether they like its
work or not" she said. "The public
Needs to be informed so that there
will be a heavy and intelligent
vote on the Charter in November"
Miss Dolan emphasized the fact
that the Commission will not in
terfere with the local housekeeping
problems of any suburb and will
