Shaw Heights
Meet At Euclid
High Tonight

Shaw Highs improving Cardin-
ais will get another chance to slow
down the fast stepping Tigers of
Cleveland Heights when the two
teams clash in tonight's first
Semi-final game in the District
Tournament at Euclid Senior High.
Game time is 1880 p. m.
Competition for local honors has
been narrowed down from twenty
four teams to eight, four from the
Lake Erie League and four from
the East Senate.
In the second game tonight,
Euclid faces the Tourney Dark
Horse" East High.
Although Shaw will be heavily
favored to lose to Heights again,
the Cards are capable of surpris-
ing their opponents. In their first
two games at Euclid, Shaw dis
played fine offensive attack
which could bother the bounding
Tigers. In their victory over a
good Benedictine team last Thurs
day, Shaw showed their best late
game squirt of the season.
wever, Coach Wisecup's
charges will have to stop high
scoring Len Roth and evasive Ron
Picozzi if they hope to stay in the
running for district honors.
Should Shaw land we are pull
ing for them) stop Heights, they
then advance to the finals on Sat-
urday and will meet the winner of
the Euclid-East game.

What about your Children?
The East Cleveland Police De-
partment is continually on the
alert for molesters of children and
because of this alertness few
known cases have been reported to
the Police Department. We feel
that while this type of crime has
been reduced to a minimum, how
ever, we wonder how many other
cases were not reported because
the parents of victims usually shy
away from publicity.
There are things, the East Cleve-
land Police Department and par
ents can do in cooperation. Inform
the police of any unusual atten-
tions by strangers to your child
or of molestation should it occur.
Publicity-wise, your child will be
protected. Local and city news
papers have promised the child's
name will not be mentioned in

AS the result of action taken by
the Zoning Board of Appeals at
a meeting held Tuesday morning,
March 4th, the City Commission
at it's next meeting, March 18th,
will be asked to consider amend
ing the zoning ordinance in so far
as the number of floors which can
be built in apartments, is con-
cerned. AS it now reads the ordi-
nance limits HI Zone construction
to "two and a-half floors and
35 feet.
Should the recommendation be
approved by the City Commission,
the amendment would drop the
"two and a-half story" regulation.
Such action would open the way
for construction here of three story
apartments so long as they were
within the specified 35 feet height.
Zone HI governs areas usually
confined to residential purposes.
The issue arose during the hear
ing of an appeal by M. M. Kane,
architect, and DR.. Frank Clark,
owner, of proposed new apart
ment housing to be erected on the
north side of Terrace I'd. between
Forest Bill blvd. and Superior rd.
The tentative plan calls for six
12-suite, three-story French pro-
vincial designed buildings with
flat roofs.
Mr.. Kane explained that with
modern architectural designing
the three stories could comfort
ably be housed within the height
limitations. In fact, their plans
call for less than the 35 foot limit.
Opposition to the three story,
flat roof design was made by
N. w. Bender who, with DR.. Clark
is interested in the neighboring
Park View housing on the west
side of Forest Hill blvd. between
Euclid ave. and Terrace I'd. Mr..
Bender believes the proposed de-
sign to be out of harmony with
the Park View and also in viola
