Another year goes down into thu
East Cleveland archives and out
standing in the twelve months is
the Big Snow in November, when
% inches of it paralyzed the city.
All was at standstill as men and
modern equipment spent days and
nights digging out and restoring
normalcy. East Clevelanders, from
city officials down. joined to COM
bat the battle with snow. The city
estimates it's snow storm cost at
$4,000.
Contrasting the city enjoyed a
comparatively cool summer.
Initiation brought the $1.25 hair
cut, increased water rates, an up
in tax rates.
Again the bug1e sounds echo
and young East Clevelanders are
off to battle with the first UN
troops in Korea. Shaw High School

ways of peace and reconsecrate
ourselves to the ways of God.
"We also note that December
81, 1850, is the last day in the first
half of this century. January /,
1851, will usher in the first day in
the second half of the twentieth
century. This offers new oppor-
tunities for real and abiding Chris
tian service.
December 81, 1850, is also the
last day in the United Evangelistic
Advance which began on October
1, 1949. During this period of fif-
teen mon his, the Protestant
churches of America have worked
together in an unprecedented CO.
operation in Evangelism. There
have been thirty-eight denomina-
tions with memberships totaling
35,000,000, united in this great un-
dertaking. In fact, there never has
been such unity in Evangelism in
the history of American Christian
ity. Despite differences of theologi-
cal tenents or church polity, these
denominations labored together for
common end-Christian unity of
life and purpose. Why cannot this
unity be evidenced in world af-
fairs? Despite differences of cul-
ture, race and creed are not all
men children of the Heavenly
Father?
"This last day in the Advance
should be given over to prayer and
meditation, looking forward to a
new reign of peace and good will
among men. Grateful to God for
all that which He has done for
humanity in the past, we implore
Him for greater measure of His
Providence to help us through
these trying times. May the light
of His countenance' show US better
ways to peace and prosperity for
all the peoples of the world"

May Permit
Motel On Euclid

East Cleveland Zoning Board of
Appeals is expected to approve a
request for the erection of a motel
on the south side of Euclid ave-,
between Hastings and Burnette
aves.
At Tuesday nights meeting of
the City Commission an informal
request for such a structure was
filed by Sam Greenberger through
his architect Max White, and the
commission indicated it's approval
of the project. The formal request
will now come before the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
The motel would include 20
single rooms with bath, and 20
suites with kitchenette accommo-
dations. Plans indicate a masonry
structure.
1t would occupy the area on
which it was previously requested
to erect a bowling alley, that re-
quest being refused when adjoin-
ing property owners protested.

A special collection Of Christmas
trees will again be made by the
city. Citizens are requested to con-
suit the following schedule an
nounced by Harold L. Green, super
intendent of Waste Disposal, to
determine on which day trees will
be collected on their street.
Mr.. Green says all trees must
be placed on the curb lawn or in
the front yard. Please do not ex-
pect collectors to take trees from
porches or back yards. Trees win
be hauled to Forest Hill Park to
be used in the Twelfth Night Cele-
bration until a sufficient number
are obtained for that purpose. All
other trees will be disposed of at
the city dumping grounds. Citizens
are requested not to bring trees
to Forest Hill Park themselves.
AS it is impossible to collect
trees over three feet in length in
the enclosed Burnable Collection
trucks, or to dispose of them at
the incinerator, a ecial y
equipped open truck will make the
collection. Signs marked, "Christ-
mas Trees Tomorrow" will be
posted at street corners on the
preceding day to give residents ad-
vance notice of the collection, ac-
cording to the following schedule

Mail Back
On Schedule
We Hope

We like to think of the Post
Office department as infallible.
Just drop a letter in the box
and nothing more to worry about.
Perhaps that was the way 1t
was back in the days of the Pony
Express, but over the Christmas
holiday someone threw a monkey
wrench-Or too many cards-in
the mail, and a lot of copy came
through eventually but too late
for publication.
1t is our. sincere hope that
Uncle Sam is back on schedule,
but we're not too optimistic
about the whole thing. Another
holiday is coming up Monday,
and we're worrying about next
weeks copy.
Those lost days just before
publication day gum up ordinary
procedure. So mail, or phone,
your copy early, and we'll quit
wishing all holidays were thrown
in the discard.
P.S. We're especially anxious
to hear about those holiday
parties and visitors. Drop us a
line right now. Thanks.

Civil Defense
Office Set Up
In City Hall

Civil Defense activities in East
Cleveland are gaining momentum.
A temporary office at City Hall
has been established, and prelim-
mary plan outlining East Cleve-
lands Civil Defense activities is
being drafted by the Civil Defense
director, C. J. Dover.
A military-type staff will direct
the organization of the Civil De-
fense program. The Civil Defense
director, who is responsible to the
City Manager, will appoint his
staff of five directors; % Direc-
tor of Information, l2) Director of
Operations, (3) Director of Per-
-onnel and Administration, (4) Di-
rector of Supply and Engineering,
and (5) Director Of Health. These
| five staff rhember3, reporting di-
rectlv The Civil Dssfense director
will orgaRize and coordinate the
many activities of Civil Defense
Since the program will depend
almost completely on volunteer and
part time help, maximum use will
be made of existing institutions
and organizations.
1--WE hope, Of course" states Di-
rector Dover, "that the current
international problems can be
solved short of full-scale war, but
we must be realistic. The home
front must be prepared in the
event of enemy attack. In the last
war, Germany and Japan suffered
heavy and unnecessary loss OF
civilian life and property due to
lack of adequate civil defense prep
arations.
at will be the purpose of Civil
Defense to obtain maximum indi-
vidual participation in Civil De-
tense activities.
"Civil Defense is guided by the
principal of self-protection by the
individual, through knowledge of
the nature of possible enemy attack
and of preventative measures
which can be taken. Civil Defense
is guided also by the principal of
mutual self-protection on the part
of groups and communities. This
calls for close cooperation and
working agreements between city
county and state Civil Defense or
ganizations.
"East Cleveland is fortunate to
have in Charles A. Carran City
Manager so alert to the community
responsibility in the Civil Defense
effort. He is working hard to in
sure that East Cleveland will re.
ceive the benefits, and accept the
responsibilities of mutual aid Civil
Defense agreements within the
county"
