tional competition later.

40 Streets S45>000
Sidewalk Repairs In
City's Summer Plan

A. Three hundred new street
signs, similar to the signs which
have been replaced during the past
three years, were also ordered. The
Lake Shore Process Co. received
the contract on their bid of $4.08
per sign, plus cost of frame and
steel banding for an estimated
total of $1,000. This type of sign,
said City Engineer Nelson F.
Kamuf, has proved most satisfac-
tory.
5eThis bid, for fencing for the
city's new playlot on Superior hill
in Forest Hill Park, went to the
Ferbert Fence Co. for $2667.O0.
It includes several types and
heights of fencing, since some of
it will be used on the basket ball
court, some on the baseball dia-
mond, and some for added fencing
to enclose these areas away from
the park area.
In addition the Commission au-
thorized the purchase of a new
station wagon from Hewett Chew
rolet on its bid of $3.50, the only
bid received. The city will sell its
1949 station wagon to Hewett on
its bid of 5000. To replace this
piece Of equipment which has been
used in the service department, a
1850 vehicle Emergency ambu-
lance) will be transferred from
the police Department when the
new one arrives.
The city also authorized the
county to take over the care of
that portion of Belvoir blvd. within
the suburb. Belvoir blvd. passes
through several East side suburbs
and when it comes to street clean
ing, snow removal, etc, it is less
expensive, more convenient to have
it done by one department, rather
than move equipment and crews
from each suburb into a job of a
few blocks, only, Similar action is
taken by each of the communities
through which the blvd. passes.
When the Eddy rd. garage was
erected by the city, it was built
on filled ground. G. T. Apthorp,
finance director, reported that
sonae Of the fill has stapted ste
sink and recommended that the
matter be given attention this
spring. He also recommended the
work to be given to the Intrusion
Prepakt Co. which specializes in
this type of work, having a process
by which the foundations of such
buildings can be stabilized. Esti-
mated expenditure is $2500. The
Commission approved.

Parish Bids Rector Farewell

Fellow clergymen, church men,
bers and friends met at st. PauPs
Episcopal church Monday evening,
March 26th to bid Godspeed to the
Rev. Mr.. Francis B. Sayre and
family as they leave for Washing
ton, D. C. where he becomes dean
of the National Cathedral.
Rev. Sayre came to Cleveland in
the fall of 1916 to become the first
industrial chaplain in the Cleve-
land Diocese of the Episcopal
Church. A year later he accepted
the rectorship of st. Paul's which
is now to be filled by his assistant,
the Rev. Mr.. William Worman. An
nouncement of this appointment
was made during the evening.
The party opened with a dinner
after which Mr.. Robert Burri,
vestryman, presided as master of
ceremonies.
Clayton Smith, representing the
CIO with which Mr.. Sayre worked
as industrial chaplain said the
chaplain had served we'll in this
venture and that his departure
from Cleveland would leave a
vacancy community wide. Rev.
Sayre's work as examining chap
lain for Bexley Seminary at Gam
bier was complimented by Arch
deacon Wonders.
The eyes of the Episcopal church
throughout the United States will
be on the Dean of National Cathe-
dral, commented Bishop Tucker
who bespoke for Rev. Mr.. Sayre
success in his new field of Chris
tian service. He also highly compli-
mented him on his work here.
Bishop Tucker also asked for Mr..
Worman the continued support
which has marked Rev. Sayre's
rectorship at st. Pauls.
"This is a gift that will remind
you of US every minute in the day,
said Ed Rose, church treasurer
'as he presented the Rev. and Mrs,
Sayre with a perpetual motion
clock that needs only setting. A
moving picture camera and a sub
stantial check were included in the
congregations departing gift to
their beloved family in the rectory.
In his "thank yous" for all of
these expressions and the loyalties
they had shown him, Mr.. Sayre
took the opportunity to comment
on the joy he received Easter Sun
day. Looking over his congrega-
tions on that glorious day he knew,
after these years of association,
why most of them were there; he
knew their burdens, their sorrows,
their joys, and he knew they were
there because they have come to
realize what the grace of God
means.
Mr.. Sayre then announced the
appointment of his successor, the
Rev. William Worman as their new
rector, and bespoke their loyalty
to him. Mr.. Worman breaches his
first sermon as rector on Sunday.
The guests adjourned to the
auditorium where a satirical sketch
on life in the rectory under the
Sayres proved most entertaining.
Credit for the skit goes to Rev.
Worman, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Evans, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Cunning
ham, Mrs. Muriel Jones, Mrs. Shir-
ley Mayer and Mrs. B. Bayliss.
Mr.. Sayre will be installed as
dean at the Washington Cathedral
on May 9th with Bishop Tucker
preaching the sermon.

playing of the Bells, Carlton.
Rev. Kenneth E. Wilt, Pastor, ex-
plains that the members of the

word 'hallowed" for the first
petition. It is struck again for
the words "Thy kingdom Gomez.
The third petition will be struck
on the words "on earth as it is
done in Heaven. The Bell is
struck the fourth time for "give
us this day our daily bread, the
fifth time for "and forgive us our
trespasses"; for the sixth petit
tion "lead us not into temptation; /;
and the seventh "deliver us from
evil". In this way the people
about st. James can be united in
this common Prayer, in the Name
of Christ.
"Christ Says You Can" is the
sermon for Sunday, April 1st at
lO:45 am. The Junior Choir will
sing and children's sermon
"How Far Can You See?" will

gin Sunday morning at $3.50, under
the title of $50 You Want to be

ing attended the Discussion Hour,
will be welcomed at the Festival
of Pentecost.
Anyone having a question is in
vited to bring it to the discussion
hour. You do not have to be a
