Odd Parcels
In City On
County Sale

Unless you are a collector of
rare and useless odd parcels of
land, you'll find no bargains in
East Cleveland property at the
annual forfeited land sale of the
county auditor. Eleven local prop
critics are scheduled to be offered
in the sale on Wednesday, July
23rd.
But you never can tell. There
may be people who collect odd
pieces of land. We know people
with queerer hobbies. So, for your
amusement and ours, we'll enumer-
ate the odds and ends to be auc-
toned off by the county auditor.
The first item is on Alder ave.
near Colt rd. Much better than
some, it has 4.374 feet frontage by
133.09 feet depth.
The next is really rare. 1t has
O.22 feet frontage on belmont ave.
with a depth of 100.53 feet. Just
think of all the things you could
do with it.
This one might have possibili-
ties, but we suspect it is bit
lower at one end that the other. On
Belvoir blvd. near Hillsboro rd.;
$50 feet by 180 feet.
Like triangles? Here's one on
Plymouth pl. One angle is 24.7O
feet and another 134.48 feet.
Here's another little triangle. In
the rear of Euclid ave. at Ivanhoe
rd. Is by 56.63 feet.
Highways are always crowded SO
perhaps you would like a little
private rd. Here's one off Terrace
rd., 220 feet deep.
And, nearby a number of parks,
private roads and walks with a
value of $3.50. Neighbors prob
ably wouldn't like you, but think
of the fun you'd have collecting
tolls.
Or you might want ESQ feet
frontage on Fourth ave-; 0.40 feet
frontage on Charles rd. or. 9.05
feet on First ave.
Last but not least is 161 feet
on Forest Hills blvd. near Euclid
ave. Only thing wrong seems to be
that it is only 46 feet deep.
So, figure out just which one
of these odd bits of land you'd like
to add to your collection, and then

Friends Of Polio
Victim Seek Funds

Eager to do something for the
polio fund in behalf of their five
school friends who have been
stricken with polio, a group of girls
is seeking contributions for the
polio fund through November 14th.
Persons willing to cooperate in
this thoughtful endeavor may do
one of two things. They may send
their contribution to Leah McHarg,
1890 Euclid ave., or to Virginia
Mackell, 14409 Sciota ave. If a
check is sent, it is requested that
it be made out to the Infantile
Paralysis Fund. Or, they may leave
their name and address with Leah
at MU. 1870, or with Virginia at
PO. 1-5626, and someone will call
for your gift. The girls want it to
be known that no gift will be too
small.
The five Shaw High school girls
on the polio list are Grace Martin,
Joan Martin, Betty Nicola, Betty
Zowasky and Sue Winsor. All are
reported improved.

Orderly HaIIowe en-
Praised By Chief

East Cleveland experienced its
best Halloween night yet. So de-
clares Chief of Police, H. S.
Weaver and Miss Genevieve
Quinn, Director of Welfare, as
they checked the few scattered in
stances of reported vandalism oc-
curing on Halloween night.
"My appreciation goes to the
parents, the schools and the
churches for planning so many
parties for the young folks, parties
where they could have all the Hal
lowe'en fun they wanted. Especially
do l want to thank the boys and
the girls themselves, for their ex-
cellent behaviour in keeping fun
within bounds" declared Weaver.
Fortunately no one was injured
and no heavy losses were resulted
herefrom so-called Halloween
pranks.
The two juvenile cases to reach
her desk dealt with circumstances
that had nothing to do with Hal
lowe'en, reports Miss Quinn.

3.5 mill additional levy was de-
cided upon as the amount needed
to meet anticipated costs ahead.
The two mill expiring levy,

Ask Church
Members For
Blood Pledge

Sunday, November 9th will be
Blood Brotherhood Sunday in all
churches in Greater Cleveland. On
that day the Clergy Committee of
the Blood Brotherhood Program
will provide pledge cards on which
church members able to do so, can
pledge a blood donation to the
American Red Cross. The pledge
cards can be signed and left at the
church or mailed to the church Of
flee.
Under the new policy of the Red
Cross Blood Donor program, the
gift of a pint of blood will be ac-
cepted for credit in the event that
the giver a member of his family
or a friend may get a TRANSMISSION
at a later date. This measure pro-
vides not only blood bank for
veterans, for Korea, but also for
ones own possible future need.
Persons who sign the cards are
requested to be patient if they do
not receive a phone call soon after
sending in their card. Red Cross
headquarters reports that it will
require time to list all the hundreds
of cards it hopes to receive in this
first Blood Brotherhood Sunday.
Congregations may keep a file
of their own member signers and
use their own cards for any men,
ber of their congregations who
may require a TRANSMISSION, it is
explained
The same rule, two cards for
the first TRANSMISSION and one for
each following TRANSMISSION, will
hold.
Of the blood bank inventory 500
is used here in the Greater Cleve-
| land area and 419o is sent to the
military. The county's three mill
tary hospitals = Brecksville, Grille
and Public Health formerly Ma
rine)-are not limited to any given
amount. They are provided with
whatever they may require, which
averages $50 pints a month.
Where it can be scheduled, the
Bloodmobile will come to the COM
munities to respond to the card
pledges.
