All Foster Homes
Must Have Permit

1t has been brought to the at
tention of the Welfare Department
that some homes in East Cleve-
land are being operated without
license for foster home care of
children either on full time basis
OF for part time care.
The City Ordinance No. 4437,
Section No. A, referring to the use
of homes for foster home care of
children clearly states: "It shall be
unlawful for any proprietor or per-
son to conduct or keep any rooming
house, foster home or hotel within
the corporate limits of the City of
East Cleveland without having
first obtained from the City Man.
aged a license emitting him so to
do, which license shall be valid
until the 31st day of December of
the year in which it is granted"
"This ordinance, states Miss
Genevieve Quinn, Welfare Direc-
tor" pertains also to any home
licensed by the County Child We'll
fare Board. The County Child We'll
fare Board makes a very thorough
investigation. of the home, how
ever it may be possible that home
licensed by this agency may not
meet the requirements as set up
by the East Cleveland Board of
Zoning Appeals. 1t is therefore i'm
portant for the families concerned
to apply for this type of care of
children before the children are
placed in the home. This facilitates
good working relationship be-
tween families and agencies"

Majority OF
AS Pupils
Signing Up

AS application fees for n e
second term of East Cleveland's
Adult Recreation School began to
roll in, after the announcement in
last weeks LEADER, broad out
line of the spring courses was an
nounced by C. Cassil Reynard,
director.
The -Rewest projected course is
the one in golf, scheduled to be
taught by Grange Alves, owner
and operator of the golf driving
range in Willoughby next to the
Cook Cleland airport. Mr.. Alves
has a carefully planned ten-lesson
course that will fit in admirably
with the Adult Schools term, Mr..
Reynard added.
"Ten weeks from our opening
night of Jan. Is is March 19th,"
he pointed out "just about the
time when fairways and greens
are being put in shape for the
summer. With Mr.. Alves' instruc-
tions under their caps and in their
fingers, local golfers should be able
to post some excellent scores"
AS for the rest of the adult
courses, a preview of what they
will teach their members can be
gathered from what was accom-
plished in them during the fall
term, Mr.. Reynard stated. Mem
bers of the household crafts course
under Robert Thomas, for ex-
ample, made articles ranging from
long wide cornices for window
drapes to neat salad and nut
bowls, whatnots, and what not.
Both men and women brought in
their own chairs to refinish or re-
upholster, and developed such an
interest in their work that they
didn't want to go home at the nine
o'clock closing hour. (Ask Mr..
Domenic Petit, custodian at Shaw,
about this.)
Shiny colored ash trays for
Christmas gifts, with as many as
three or four colors baked into the
designs, were the favorite pro-
ducts of Bruce Holderbaum's
enameling students. This class de-
veloped quite a community spirit
among it's members, and everyone
watched everyone else's pieces be-
ing lifted out of the electric kiln
with as muc h anticipation and
pride as if they were their own,
Mr.. Reynard reports.
The two sewing classes concen-
trated on dresses for the members
or their daughters.
