Ignorance And
CompIaeeney Lead
American Faults

Ignorance and complacency in
the American people are among
the most serious problems we face,
according to Mr.. John B. Robinson
of Thompson Products Co., who
talked to the Mems Club of the
East Cleveland Congregational
Church last Wednesday. The ig-
norance is that of the fundamental
qualities of our American heri-
tage, and the complacency toward
the dangers in the spread of COM
munism and socialism and the in
filtration of alien ideas into our
polictical and economic life.
An interesting feature was the
speakers use of the videograph.
This is a portable board upon
which specially prepared cardboard
signs can be posted in any posi-
tion on the board minus fasteners,
and as easily removed or changed.
The device was developed at Tapco.
Fred Bastel, with William
Meinke at the piano, led the sing
ing and Rev. Earl c. Hochwald,
the pastor, discussed denomina-
tional projects.

Grid Mothers
For Their Aid

"This is the most unique foot
ball meeting l have attended"
commented Bob Cawrse, Shaw
High School football coach last
Thursday when he spoke at a
luncheon in the Y House. The
unique feature was the gathering
together of mothers of the foot
ball players as guests of the Y
Mothers. Usually" explained the
coach, cts the Dads for whom
such meetings are planned.
Coach Cawrse expressed his
thanks to the Y Mothers for this
opportunity to meet the mothers of
his "fine squad" and to these moth
ers he gave much of the credit for
the successful season just closed.
1t is the mothers who help keep
the boys in trim by cooperating
with them in keeping training
rules, he said.
Both Mr.. Cawrse and Wayne c..
Blough, principal at Shaw, stated
that the chief aim of football is
not just to win games. While this
is desirable, the aim of football
training and playing is to build
for better citizenship. When foot
ball reaches a point where this
goal is lost, it best be dropped from
the school program, they agreed.
The part the school band plays
in offering relaxation to the avid
fans between halves was pointed
out by S. Robert Fraser, director
of Shaw's famous bands. The band
and majorettes get a big hand
every time they step on the field.
Present also as guests were Mrs.
Blough, Mrs. Cawrse, Mrs. Fraser,
Miss Elsa C. Berg of the East
Cleveland Leader, and Mr.. William
Cumler and Mr.. Richard Koch of
the Y Staff.
Mrs. George Reaser, president,
presided and Mrs. j. j. Smith, pro-
gram chairman, arranged the pro-
gram.
The meeting concluded with a
film of the Euclid Shaw game
during which every player, down
through the third string, had a
chance to participate.

facts are highly important. They

most important decisions a young
man or young woman is called
upon to make. Mr.. Hunter and
Miss Provo serve as advisors for

leaving the question of which
college to the individual, is the one
of adjustment to college life, and
the responsibilities and opportuni-
ties of a college education. with
the one aim to become better citi-
zens.
Organized year ago, the Col
lege Club is now in full stride,
states Mr.. Hunter. In their month
ly meetings the 100 or so members
get down to the discussion of seri-
Gus questions dealing with college
life. They are hearing the expert
ences and the suggestions of top
speakers on the various topics.
This month, for instance, they
heard DR.. Fall, president of Hiram
College say that the chief ann
Of attending college is to learn
how to live with people.

Usually the Christmas shopping
rush doesn't get going until
Thanksgiving is out of the way.
Merchants tell us that this year it
actually started last week.
Good weather may have some
thing to do with it, but some are
inclined to the idea that there is
considerable worry about possible
shortages of merchandise. The
stores at the moment are fairly
well stocked, but there are indica-
tions that as Christmas approaches
there may be a short supply in
some lines.
The happiest shoppers will be
those who get busy in the next
two weeks, while stores have COM
plate stocks in every line.

Last Sunday was the anniver-

Except for references to the
