Shaw Seeks Polio
Funds At FRIDAY
Night Grid Game

at Shaw Stadium, the Student
Council of Shaw High School will
repeat the polio appeal which last
year brought more than $500 to
their fund.
Between halves students will go
through the stands, with blanket
into which fans are asked to toss
a coin for the fight against Infan-
tile Paralysis.
This fund is one of several to
benefit from the all Charity Drive
which opens at Shaw next Monday
morning and continues through the
10th.
Concentrating all effort on the
one campaign, has proved to be a
far better way, school officials
state.
The city's polio fund is enriched

Half Century In
One Congregatlca
Under -Four Names

Sixty years of active church
service. This is a record which
Mrs. Edward Arm, I'LL Lake
Front ave. has quietly and effec-
lively given to her church. And
one of her experiences in this serv-
ice has been following through with
mergers under four names.
AS a young woman, Mrs. Arm
began going to meeting in what
was then the Lake View Congre-
gational church, opposite Lake
View Cemetery on Euclid ave. five
years later, on October 9th, 1900,
she took her stand and became a
member of the congregation.
Along about 1904 thecongrega-
ton, changing its name to Calvary,
moved into it's new home in the
little attractive brick edifice on
Lockwood, near Euclid ave.
In this project the congregation
few years later realized it had
assumed quit a financial load nd
it welcomed the merger with the
Park Congregational church, the
merger again bringing a new
name, that of Mayflower Con-
gregational church.
Further east, the East Congre-
gational church was working ito
serve its neighborhood, and after
some deliberation Mayflower and
East decided to merger and form
one congregation. The name of
this church then became the East
Cleveland Congregational church
which occupies an efficient build
ing at Euclid and Page aves.
Mrs. Arm continues her work
among the women's groups, but is
discontinuing her work in the Sun
day school after 35 years of service
to the young people.
So, while having been enrolled
in congregations under four diff
ferent names, Mrs. Arm has, in
reality been a member of but one,
to make her a charter member of
East Cleveland Congregational
Church.
No estimate can be tabled to
a service such as this.

Fire Department
Gets Panel Truck

Have you seen that fire red
shiny new panel truck buzzing
about town? It's the newest ac-
QUESTION in the way of equipment
for the East Cleveland Fire Depart
ment and is designed primarily for
the departments fire prevention
program, and inspections incident
thereto.
But it will also serve to answer
calls for minor emergencies calling
for the services of the department,
such as lock-outs. In fact, ladders
to aid a fireman to enter a house
via a window are part of the
trucks equipment.
The city experienced little diff
ficulty in finding just the truck it
could use. 1t is housed in Fire Sta
ton No. / and the only space avail
able limited the length of the
equipment to just fit into that
space. The Dodge panel was the
answer.

Invite BIough To
Explain New Program

The Commute period inaugur.
ated at Shaw High School this year
has become the topic of much dis
cussion among educators through
out the district. They want to hear
more about it. They want to ask
questions which have come to mind.
To this end they have invited
Wayne C. Blough, principal at
Shaw and originator of the plan to
address meeting of assistant prin-
cipals in the Cleveland Board of
Education Building Tuesday, Oc-
tober 18th at 2 p. m.
One of the duties of assistant
principals is to make up the school
program.
In letter inviting Mr.. Blough
to present the subject they also re-
quest a discussion of some of the
problems which may have arisen as
a result of the adoption of the
sixty-minute period and how the
plan fits into his own general
philosophy of education.

Genial Hosts Meet
Up With Tough Luck

Inviting friends to dinner, CIV

departed, and taking them home
seemed the end of a perfect day
until the traffic accident. That
is what befell the Albert Drake
family of 1864 East 248th ST., Euc-
lid Sunday evening.
Drako's car, police say, was the
third involving three cars at the
RNsemont Euclid traffic signal.
The car belonging to Don Vendi,
Painesville, was in the middle and
received the most damage, while
the lead car, driven by Albert
Kirchner, 1179 Addison rd., es-
cape with the least damage.
Police reports indicate that
Drako's car was too close to Ven
dis car when he stopped in back of
the Kirchner car as the traffic
signal changed.
