Civil Defense
Volunteers
Signing Up

Civil Defense volunteers this
week are turning the Shaw High
School Girls Gym into a bustling
yet orderly spot as more than six
hundred register and are inter-
viewed.
Registration, which began Mon
day evening, is being held every
evening this week from $50 to
9:30 p. m. and on Saturday from
10 a. m. to A p. m.
Wayne c. Blough, director of
personnel and administration, was
pleased with the turnout of volun-
teers. Naturally, we knew some of
our volunteers would be unable to
keep the appointments at the de-
signated times" he said, 80 we
were encouraged when such a very
large percentage did appear for
registration and interviewing at
the times established for them"
A. NJ. Heavilin, in charge of per-
sonnel, said that registration the
first few days had been smooth
and regular, and that no volunteers
had had to wait to register.
The procedure established by
Heavilin and Blough for registra-
tion is as follow: The volunteer,
who has been called at the hour he
stated was most convenient for him
when volunteering, is directed to
the gym as he enters the building.
One of a staff of girls types the
necessary information about him
on the official Cuyahoga County
registration form, and he moves
on to be photographed. Then a
staff member interviews him to
learn what jobs he prefers to do.
After being photographed, the
volunteer has a brief talk with Mr..
Heavilin who administered the oath
of allegiance.
Both Blough and Heavilin en-
phasized these important points.
First, any volunteer who can
not register at the appointed time
can come in at any other time the
procedure is in operation, on
Thursday or Friday evening or on
Saturday from 10 a. m. to p. m.
Second, anyone who has not yet
filled out volunteer postal card
or volunteered by phone or in per-
son is urged to come in anyway.
"We are anxious to register as
many people as we can now while
it's quick and easy for them"
Heavilin said. at will only take
few minutes of their time, and it
will be the beginning of a valuable
contribution to Americas defense
effort"

Acting on the recommendation
of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
the City Commission Tuesday eve
ming unanimously approved the re-
zoning of the lot on the northwest
corner of Euclid at Hover aves
into an U8 use. In this instance
this will permit the Economy
Buick Co. to set up a used car lot
here, and also provide off-street
parking for it's own employees.
The lot has 20 feet frontage on
Euclid ave. and is zoned to a 140
depth for business purposes. The
balance, as is all of Hover ave-,
is zoned for apartments or resi-
dences. Under the resolution passed
by the Commission an added 100
feet to the north is included in the
U8 use, leaving still another 100
feet between the rear of the lot
and the next adjoining residential
property to the north.
Under the requirements Of the
Zoning Board, the property must
be attractively fenced and proper
ly lighted. Entrance will be from
Euclid ave. A small office building
is to be erected on the lot. The
present old residence is to be razed.
Speaking for the approval, Com
missioner Richard Horan said
Buick has made a great contribu-
ton to the neighborhood" with the
erection of their modern building
(12656 Euclid, across from the
proposed parking lott, and he is
confident they will plan and main
tain the property in a satisfactory
manner. He also held that the
proposal is the best yet presented.
During the past few months
several requests have come to the
city for the use of this property
which has been on the market, it
was stated for many years, How
ever, none of the proposals, said
