Old Washing Machines
Go To Needy Families

Stanley Cady of Cady Electrical
Appliance Co., Euclid and Noble,
tells us (and announces in an ad
in this issue) that all used washers
taken in trade on new General
Electric washing machines for the
duration of a current advertising
campaign to sell washers, will be
turned over to the st. Vincent De
Paul Society to be given to needy
families, and surprising as it may
seem, there are many families
without a washer of any kind.
So, now your old washer can do
double duty. 1t will be accepted as
down payment on your purchase
of a new one, and then be given to
some less fortunate family that
needs one.

Protests By
.Neiighbors
Decides 1t

Protests of East Clevelanders
have again prevailed in their
guaranteed security under exist
ing zoning regulations. Colt I'd.
property owners, objecting to the
proposed erection of an ice skat-
ing rink in their neighborhood, won
the verdict when the case came
before the Zoning Board of APP
peals Tuesday morning. The board
voted unanimously to reject the
appeal.
After Ray Steel, promoter and
representing the Arctic Skating
Club, had explained the plans, the
erection of two store spaces and
the rink on the parcel Of land
with a sc foot frontage at 1868
1869 Euclid ave. and extending
north to the Nickel Plate Rail
road tracks. Attorney George L. 4,
Rich, 1882 Alameda ave-, Lake
wood presented the protesting peti-
ton, signed with go names. At
torney Rich said the few hours
from last Friday, when the resi-
dents first learned of the plan, TO
the appeal time, Tuesday morn
ing, handicapped them in secur-
ing additional signatures, or OBJ
tanning more detailed informa-
ton.
Of the 80 persons in the Com
mission Chamber for the hearing,
% were men, several of whom had
remained away from their work
to attend the hearing.
Chief objection was the increased
traffic hazards involved. Two of
the three driveways to the rink
were blueprinted from Colt I'd,
with the third one from Euclid
ave. Mr.. Steel said it was his plan
to close the Colt I'd. gates (the
entire plot was to be enclosed with
a high wire fence and policed "a
hours a day. at an early hour in
the evening, and send all traffic
through the Euclid ave, drive. He
explained parking was to be on
the farther side of the lot,
away from Colt rd., with the rink
itself between the parking space
and the rear of the east side Colt
I'd. property lines. He offered TO
place rink and parking to suit the
neighbors.
The front 24O feet of the parcel
is zoned IA, business and light
manufacturing. The rear, and the
part for which the request was
made, is zoned u, apartments. To
permit erection of the rink
change was necessary.
Clarence c. Parch, 1749 Colt rd.,
told the Board of Appeals that,
upon return from service, he look
ed about to buy home. East
Cleveland's excellent government,
good schools and live community
spirit attracted them here and he
bought his home on Colt I'd. He
said the family, including four chill
dren, had not regretted the de-
cision. "What of our future if the
rink comes ?" he asked.
J. H. Weyandt, 1744 Colt I'd.
said he liked the street so much
he had bought a second house
there. He also paid the city COM
pliment, holding it was the best
operated in the country"
"As citizens and property own
ers" said Mr.. Weyandt," we feel
we are being encroached upon
wnen the question of allowing
parking lot in our back yard is
raised"
| Mark Boyd, 1713 Colt rd added
his protest on the traffic hazard
! basis. He said he often has to wait
three to five minutes to turn into
his driveway, and the rink would
add to this traffic flow, making
it more dangerous there. Keep
Colt a residential street" he urged.
The board voted for the pro-
perty owners.
