Unemployment
Claims Mount

The 93,250 claims for unemploy-
ment benefits filed by the newly
unemployed last month - though
the highest November figure on
record-were down some 15 per
cent from the October figure,
Bureau of Unemployment Compen-
sation Administration Frank J.
Collopy reported today.
Automobile model changes, some
steel shortages and other seasonal
factors contributed heavily to the
November layoffs, Collopy said.
Continued claims-each of which
represents a completed week of
unemployment by an individual
claimant totaled 672,596 a st
month, up 16 per cent from Octo-
Der.
The $9,604 ,437 paid out in bene-
fits during November was up three
per cent over October. Persons
drawing under the Ohio Unemploy-
ment Compensation Law accounted
for some $9,275,256 or 81 cents of
every dollar paid out. The remand
er went to those relatively few
veterans still eligible for readjust-
ment allowances under the GI Bill
Of Rights
Funds for the CT program,
which came to a close for most
veterans after July %, are provided
by the Federal Government with
the BUG serving as agent in Ohio.
Claimants drawing benefits under
the Ohio Law last month averaged
$22.55 per week of total unemploy-
ment while those claimants with
dependents averaged $25.98.
Dependency allowances, up five
per cent over October, totaled
S520,82S last month. Claimants
with dependents have received
81 ,425 1896 in addition to their regu-
lar unemployment benefits since
dependency allowances were first
paid in September.

Shaw Basketball
By Bob Keefer

NShaw's high-riding cagers will
attempt to start the new year off
right by defeating an invading Lo-
rain quintet at Shaw Gym tomor-
row night.
The Steelmen were on the short
end of the score in their last out
ing, a 44-43 loss to Toronto but
their present So record is an indi-
cation of their strength. The Steel
City hardwooders won their first
four contests, defeating Amherst,
John Marshall, Shaker and Lima
Central before dropping a 48-49
decision to Heights just before the
holidays. However, their 45.2 point
average per game compares fav-
orably with Shaw's impressive 51.5
mark.
Lorain's basketball destinies are
being guided by a new coach this
year, youthful Hank Beganie, who
has made a tremendous hit with
Lorain students and townspeople
in his first month of tutorship. The
aggressive mentor has only three
lettermen back from last years
squad but a brilliant array of
juniors from the '48-'5O JV's have
helped considerably. The trio of
veterans include Forward Bob
Telatnik, a bespectacled hedhead;
Center Don Fritz, a blond rebound
specialist; and Ed Mitroff who al
ternates at right guard with Bob
Blatchford. Completing the start
ing quintet are Forward Dick Ry-
barczyk G. l" junior and Walter
Watt, another 11th-grader who
at g. 8" is the only regular under
the six-foot mark. Watt missed
the last two games because of
throat infection but he is expected
to be ready for tomorrow's i'm
portant league clash. The mighty
mite" is Lorain's most prolific
scorer with SO points in five games
including a 20-point splurge in
the loss to Heights. Proof of the
Steelmen's balanced attack is evil
denced by the fact that three of
the other regulars have also scored
consistently. Telatnik has tailed
II markers, Rybarczyk has 62 and
Fritz is credited with 81 in seven
games.

Just A Minute Please
New Phone Number Is Mt
Effective Until March 4th

With new-type telephone num-
bers scheduled to become effective
in Greater Cleveland at midnight,
March 4th, some subscribers are
Jumping the gum by using them
ahead of time.
AS the result, they either get
wrong numbers or their calls do
not go through at all, according
to D. B. Wiles, division commercial
manager for The Ohio Bell Tele-
phone Company.
at is a natural mistake to make
because of the fact that number
of business firms have put their
new numbers on match covers,
calendars, outdoor signs, newly
printed stationery and other pieces
Of Advertising" said Mr.. Wiles.
Under the new plan, telephone
numbers will have five digits in
stead of four, with the additional
digit Immediately following the
central office name. AS an ex-
ample, Cherry 1880 will become
1880, Boulevard 1880 will become
Boulevard 2-1380, and so on.
The new system is already in
operation in nine Greater Cleveland
central offices. The first to go into
service was Utah / in the Hender-
son section on November 29th,
1947. Since then Vulcan 3 has been
added to the Michigan office,
Ulster 1 to the Glenville, Tyler /
to Garfield, Tower 1 to Main and
Cherry, Tuxedo 3 in a section Of
southwest Cleveland, Trinity / re-
placing the Westlake office, Ter
race /, an east side suburban of
flee, and Victory 3, south west
suburban office.
"The added digit should not be
used until the new numbering sys-
tenn goes into effect, except in the
case Of the central offices in which
the new numbers are now being
used" said Mr.. Wiles.
'If anyone should now dial that
added digit, confusion results. Sup
pose a subscriber has the number
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-01-05

Cherry 1880, which after March
4th will become Cherry 1880. If
a party calling him uses the new
number, the caller will reach
Cherry 1888, if that number is in
service.
Three persons are affected by
the error. The calling party doesn't
get the number he wants. The party
wrongly called is unnecessarily
bothered by a call not meant for
him. And the party who was to
receive the call doesn't get it. AS
the result, three customers are irri-
tated by one wrongly placed call.
''In addition that that, it means
more work for the telephone COM
pany employees. If the number
called in error had not been as
signed to any telephone, the call
goes to an intercepting operator,
who tells the calling party what
has happened and refers him to
the correct number.
"If the number is in service, the
chances are that the calling party
will either call the information
operator to find out what number
he should have called, will dial
Operator or even call the repair
department to see what has hap
pened.
"We are hearing about quite
number Of cases in which residence
subscribers are receiving a steady
flow Of calls originally meant for
some business establishment"
Telephone workmen are now
changing number plates on the
city's 100000 residence telephones
and 10000 business instruments.
1t will take up to the effective date
of the new numbering system to
complete this task.
The present number is removed
from its holder in the center of
the telephone dial, the new number
is inserted and attached perma-
nently in place of the present num-
ber.
Then the present number, which
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-01-05

will continue in use until midnight
March 4th, is superimposed tenn.
porarilty on top of the new num-
Der. When the new number be-
comes effective the subscriber is
requested to remove the old one
to expose the new number under
meath.
In the meantime, workmen for
the Ohio Bell and the Western Elec-
trio Company, manufacturing unit
of the Bell System, have been in
stalling new central office equip
ment and making neces sary
changes in present equipment so
that the dial apparatus in every
Cleveland central office can be
adapted to use of the new type
numbers next March.
The new numbering system is
made necessary by the city's rapid
expansion in telephones and the
subsequent addition of new tele-
phone offices to accommodate the
increase.
"This expansion brought about
the problem of selecting suitable
names which conform with me-
chanical aspects of dial operations
and at the same time are short,
easy to remember and phonetic, :"
said Mr.. Wiles
New blue-covered telephone di-
rectories listing the new-type num-
bers will be delivered to Greater
Cleveland telephone subscribers in
advance Of the change, but they will
not be effective until midnight,
March 4th.
The new numbering system fol-
lows the pattern put into effect in
other large metropolitan centers
such as New York, Chicago, San
Francisco and Philadelphia.

holders.
The annual report put out by
large corporations today is lit
orally a work of art. Informa-
tion is complete, the presenta-
tion a model of clarity, and it
is frequently illustrated with
pictures and simplified graphs.
These companies are in the
vanguard of new trend to-
ward a closer relationship be-
tween corporation owners and
managers.
Vote by Proxy
Other companies, and they
are still numerous, send out a
set of figures designed for the
exclusive convenience of a GER
titled public accountant. They
tell little in a complicated way.
The corporation of today is
often owned by thousands of
people. Obviously it would not
be possible to gather them all
together. Thousands just don't
attend meetings. But stock
holders can vote on whether to
re-elect the management and
on any proposals made by man
agement or stockholders on
matters outside the corporation
charter.
That is done in proxy state
ment. Unfortunately. many
