81 Home Owners
Start Pest Control

After having tried, individually,
to combat rats which have become
too numerous in their neighborhood
in the southwest section of the
city, residents of Belmar and Ed
dington rds. have joined forces to
rid their premises Of the pests
They have employed the services
of the Cleveland Chemical Co.,
which started on the campaign to-
day.
Control, explains William E..
Kirchner of the company, starts
with. a complete check of each
property. Any debris or other stu
alton providing harborage for
rats is disposed of Immediately.
A monthly check is maintained for
a period of one year after the ini-
tial campaign is completed.
Having been annoyed for some
time, and having been unable to
completely eliminate the pests
while working individually, the
neighbors got together and decided
to rid themselves of the nuisance in
one complete maneuver. Working
with them is John Donelan, sani-
tary Inspector for the City of East
Cleveland. The campaign is being
conducted at the expense of the So
property owners joining in on it.

Tribute Due Valiant Few Who Launched

at cant be done". Would any,
the chorus that greeted the first
one today believe that this was
proposal for an East Cleveland
Community Picnic twenty years
ago? But the nineteen definite
ly successful outings which have
since followed are proof sufficient
that where cooperative commune
ty spirit abounds, the seemingly
impossible can be achieved.
Since this years picnic is the
twentieth one, o little checking in
to the origin Of the enterprise
which has come to be THE big
day in the year, reveals that
credit is undoubtedly due to Emil
Hoffman, head of the printing
firm which bears his name. 1t was
his idea and what time he had
selling it to his fellow business
men.
Back in 1880, soon after Mr..
Hoffman came here from Collin
wood where he had been a spark

Points outings, he suggested a

land. Impossible, "Too much
risk, were a few of the responses
which met his proposal to organize
an East Cleveland Picnic Associa-
ton and put on big town outing
once year. He was confident it
would be good for the community.
A meeting was called in Stage
Coach Inn, the building now oc-
cupied by the Blevin School of
Dancing, 1925 Euclid ave. In
place of an association, which
plan Mr.. Hoffman still favors,
COMMITTEE" was formed with the
promoter as chairman. At the
meeting were Harry Martin, dry
goods merchant; George Nelson,
jeweler, and DR.. John H. Stahl,

planning.

over its 1949 win :. the first in
16 straight years, and predict they
are on the start of at least 16-
year victory streak. On the other
hand, Bill Markell, manager of the

The new budget provides the
usual salary increments.
Two big cuts in the operating

extensive repair program, includ-
ing much painting, was under
taken in the school buildings, this
costing $126,000. With this COM

cut to $5,133.75. Up to $50 of the
total budget is allowed for emer-
gencies and any emergency can
be met from this fund.
