City'sHea|th
DIRECTOR DR..
Stober> Dies

DR.. George Washington Stober,
for the past 80 years director of
health for the City of East Cleve-
land, died in Lakeside Hospital
Thursday, November End, aged Sc
years., Services were held from
his home, 17720 South Woodland
ave. and private burial took place
at Erie, Pa.
DIR. Stober was appointed health
director August l, 1919. His con-
slant service to the city during
these years had much to do with
the efficiency of the department.
Commenting on the loss of DR..
Stober, City Manager Chas. A.
Carran stated, "Dr. Stober was an
unusually competent physician and
an outstanding authority on public
health. East Cleveland has lost a
splendid public servant whose will
lives on in the memory of his fell
low employees and the many
other persons who recognized his
ability and valued his friendship
so highly"
Widely known for his work in
the field of public health, DR.. Sto-
Der was internationally acclaimed
for his work in the field of pre-
vention of lead poisoning. He had
written several technical papers
on the subject and served as a con-
sultant in this service.
One practical application of his
research on this subject is found
at the plant of the Cleveland Gra-
phite Bronze Co. where design and
layout were made under his recon-
mendations.
A native of Lexington, Ohio, DR..
Stober studied at Kenyon College
and did his medical preparation at
the University of Michigan and
Ohio State University. The year of
1926 was spent in Vienna special
izing in clinical studies. His father
also a physician. practiced until he
was 80 years old.
Surviving are his wife, Madalyn,
and two daughters, Louise and
Carla Jarecki, a brother, Jay j.
Stober and a sister, Mrs. Robert
Kellner.

The Bond Issu,
Bon Fire Rally

Last Thursday, November End
Shaw's Annual Bonfire Rally
planned by 10 Lee Fuller, chair
man, Joe Lagrasso, 10 Ann Green
wood, and Paul Martin was staged
at Shaw Field. All students met
at the school at 700 p. m. and to-
gether with the band marched
down to the field to start the big
bonfire.
Entertainment accompanying the
fire was provided by Jack Walsh
with his "Uke" and speakers-Joe
Zavorek, 1947 Football Star, Coach
Cawrse, and Captains Jack Man
ming and Frank Langdon.
Terry Tucker seemed to be the
lucky one in the crowd when she
won the autographed football at
the drawing.
Finally all the merriment and
cheers were ended by singing the
Shaw Alma Mater while students
went home confident of a victory
against Lorain the next night.

Shaw -Heights
Battle Ends
Grid Season

evenly matched on paper, Shaw
having scored 149 points in eight
games while Heights has accumu-
lated lat tallies. The Cardinals
hold a decided defensive edge,
however, limiting the opposition to
80 points while the Hilltoppers
have permitted their opponents to
garner 176 markers. Comparing the
two teams against common oppo-
nents, Shaw holds 40-point ad-
vantage but, it must be remem-
bered that the East Clevelanders
had a comparative score domin-
ance of almost 200 points last sea-
son only to be rudely upset.
The main cog in the Heights
scoring machine is Left Half Bob
Balliett, a 150-lb. senior, who is
second in the Lake Erie League
scoring race with a total of 81
points in four games. Although
Coach George McKinnon depends
mainly upon a running attack, the
Tigers also possess a better-than-
average aerial offensive. Dave
Jones and Herb Sugerman have
been dividing the T-quarterback
spot all season while Warren Has
kins, John Miller and Bill Joseph,
all over the six-foot mark, have
proven capable receivers. H a |
Rocco, at right half, and Saul
1sler, hard-driving fullback, have
shown lot of improvement since
the season inaugural and will bear
watching by the Cardinal lineman.
The Tigers boast a pair of the
largest tackles in local scholastic
football in two huge juniors, John
Smith 1920 lbs.) and Sandy Sacks
(212 lbs.).
Coach Bob Cawrse was we'll
pleased with the work of both his
offensive and defensive units
against Lorain last week and
therefore expects to make no
changes in either group. Often
sively, the following boys will
answer the starting whistle:
Duane Gerasimos and Bob Gibson
ends; Ed Alemagno and Franl
Langdon, tackles; Chuck Kennedy
and Jack Berrey, guards; Tony
Giordano, center; Dan Kramer
quarterback; Ken Horton and Jack
Manning, halfbacks; Gil Santoro
fullback. On defense, Alemagno,
Langdon, Kennedy, Giordano, Hor-
ton and Manning remain in the
lineup and are joined by Tony Gill
berto and Roe Roman at ends,
George Andresky as middle line
backer, and George Measor and
Jack Leuschel in the backfield.
The Cardinals want to win this
game as much as any they have
played all season and you can rest
assured that they will do their ut
most to avenge that humiliating
defeat of last year. There are 10
seniors on the Shaw roster who
will be making their last appear
ance in a Shaw football uniform
and each is eager to do his part
in ending the season with a re-
sounding victory. This is one of
the best Shaw teams it has been
my pleasure to watch, one that is
long on ability, spirit, courage and
alertness. True, they have made
mistakes, but they have always
been corrected by a wide-awake
coaching staff which has turned
in truly wonderful performance
this season. The student body and
community can we'll be proud of
the 1850 Shaw team - it has cer-
tainly done a noble job!

Although a native of Cleveland,
Kathe was early acclimated to
farm life through the media of his
grandfather's farm where he spent
most of his summers as youth.
There he saw the ravages of soil
erosion and his determination to
do something aabout this great
loss to American farmers has
turned into somewhat of a minor
crusade.
He spent two years at the
New York State College Of
Forestry at Syracuse and then two
more at the College of Agriculture
at Wisconsin.
The next three years were spent
with the government in Soil Con-
servation, Forest Service and
National Park Service. While IN
the Forest Service he parachuted
to 13 forest fires as a "smoke
jumper"
His first experience with radio
was at the University of Wisconsin
and before joining VICAR he was
farm director of WMRN, Marion.
Kathe holds the highest order
in the Grange and is a member of

state title out of the more than
five hundred which began tourna-

Shaw has qualified for regional
play. In 1924, prior to Coach Roy
Wisecup's long tenure, the Cardi-
nal cagers defeated Bucyrus, 81
II, in the first round and then lost
to Springfield, 30-28. The next
crack at the title came in 1888
when the Cardinals made ther first

Columbus Bexley, 31-23, and then

Firemen Will Check
Home For Hazards

Fire Chief Fred Steffens today
offered to cooperate with all house
holders who want to make their
homes safer by eliminating fire
hazards.
"A qualified member of the fire
department will be assigned upon
request to inspect any building and
make detailed fire safety recon-
mendations, the chief said. "Pre-
venting fires is as much. the fire
departments job as putting fires
out"
Records of the National Fire
Protection Association, Sprin g

that nine out of ten fires could be
prevented by eradicating all COM
mon fire hazards, Chief Steffens
said.
