Cited again for meritorious re-
ductions in accidents through the
past year, the city of East Cleve-
land, through its chief of police,
HIS. Weaver, last week received
two awards from the Ohio State
Safety Council.
A Home Accident Reduction

The second citation, an Accident

the city's 1890 reduction in fatal
accidents of all kinds. This refers
specifically to traffic accidents and
those involving pedestrians.
Commenting on the awards,
Weaver stated, "We are extremely
proud of these citations, and urge
our citizens to keep up the good
record. The city has received
similar recognition from the Safety
Council for the past five years,
with the exception of 1947.

ful".
Mr.. Schreck was the first child
ever to be baptized by Rev. Shaffer
during the latter's 26-year ministry
at st. James, which ended a few
months ago, and the second son
of the congregation to become
Lutheran pastor.
Following service in the Navy
during the last war, he studied at
Wittenberg College in Springfield,
Ohio and recently graduated from
HANNA Divinity School. Last
Christmas he was married to the
former Emma Cocklin, who is also
a recent Wittenberg graduate.
During the summer of 1850 he
served st. James as a student pas
tor. His actual ministerial career
began on June 24th when he ac-
cepted a call to the Second Luth-
eran Church in Richmond, Indiana.
Mr.. Schreck> is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Irwin F. Schreck, 1888
Belvoir blvd, South Euclid. His

Dr.. Wells Marks 25|
Anniversary AT First
Presbyter'n Sunday

worship for this, particular Sunday,
The congregation through DR.. Don
aid Ruttle, a member of the Ses-
sion, will present its silver ami
versary gift, a trip to Europe, a
long cherished hope of DR.. Wells
and Golden Book of Memories, in
which the beloved pastor and his
equally beloved wife, will find per-
sonality inscribed the names of
their entire church family, to-
gether with the names of many of
their former parishioners and
friends outside of the immediate
church circle.
DR.. Wells came to First Presby-
terian Church July 1st, 1926, from
Old Lyme, Conn, where he had
been pastor of the Congregational
Church for six years. That was his
first charge upon completion of
his studies at Princeton University
and Union Seminary, and follow
ing two years overseas service
with the YMCA In Russia.
Out of his years in the ministry
and a pastor of a suburban church
within the confines of a great city.
DR.. Wells has come to respect
highly two groups within the
church. One of these he terms "the
durable core of the church." 1t is
made up, in his observation, of
those members of a congregation
who stay on from year to year, con-
tinuing their support of the church
through thick and thin, even if
they move from the neighborhood.
That other group is the large
transient congregation one finds in
a metropolitan center. This group
is made up of those families who,
while in the neighborhood become
more or less a part of the church,
they move away and carry on their
church work elsewhere.
AS for the influence of the
Church itself, DR.. Wells thinks it
is not to be measured in terms Of
an immediate neighborhood or a
present constituency, but as an
influence which goes out, far and
wide, touching all ages of the gen.
Grafton. .4,.S
"This has been a long time past
crate" said DR.. Wells referring to
his rs years at "Old First" "In
the course of the years the minister
lives through many experiences
with his church family, joy, sorrow,
births, deaths, old life, new life, and
it is this common experience which
provides the root soil for the vital
ity of a protracted pastorate."
Always keeping pace with to-
days progress, but ever watchfully
guarding the church fundamentals,
First Presbyterian Church which
began in a log cabin in 1907, ex-
panded to simple white New Eng
land Meeting House in 1916, and
became a stone edifice in 1892

ing his 25th anniversary as their
spiritual leader and friend.
Upon the request of DR.. Wells,
the observance has been planned SO
that every member, from the oldest
to the youngest, can enjoy it. 1t is
to be simple church family get
together for the usual Sunday
morning worship at the summer
schedule hour of ten o'clock, to be
followed by a period Of informal
fellowship during which all will
have the opportunity of greeting
DIR. and Mrs. Wells.
However, there will be one ex-
eeption in the accustomed order of

that both picnic Tickets, (Auto
and Major Prizes) are to be
given by The Local Merchants
with every purchase and at the
discretion of each Merchant as
to how many he wishes to pass
out at the time of purchase.
They are not to be miscon-

quested to hand out tickets free
ly without customers having to
ask for them. Merchants are al
so advised by the committee not
to tell their customer that the
Picnic ticket committee has
failed to contact or sell them
tickets, when the fact is that,
they themselves are not ready
to pass out tickets to their GUS
