Share Easter

There is more than play in the
hours which the Kirk-Teens of
Kirk Junior High School spend to-
gether. During the past week sew
eral members have given up seeing
noon movies to be in the cafeteria
to accept contributions for the
Easter Seal Drive. The Kirk stu
dents contributed $72.16 to this
worthy fund, most of it being a
matter of sharing allowances for
the benefit of the less fortunate.
The Kirk-Teens will enjoy their
own Easter season the more for
having shared it in another way,
too, their own Easter project to
provide happy Easter for rs pa
tients Of the women's ward at

man will receive a gay sachet, a
chocolate Easter bunny and home
made cookies which the girls have
baked for them.

Miss Anita Ripple sponsor the
Kirk Teens whose officers are

Editor:
East Cleveland Leader
would like very much through
your East Cleveland Leader, to ex-
press my gratitude to the East
Cleveland Police Department.
On March 28th, / went to my
mothers home and found her lying
on the floor. She had taken stroke
during the night. Not being able
to lift her into bed, ] thought of
the police. They Immediately ans
wered my call for help.
l shall always remember James
Stark and Robert Allen of the
police force, in my daily prayers,
for they were truly angels of
Mercy" They were very kind and
gentle in their manners towards
my mother. For their quick help,
my mother is doing very nicely
today. / shall always sing my
praises of the East Cleveland
Police Department.
Very sincerely,

Thirty days have passed, and no words
from Florida that there are even suspects
In the wanton murder of Harry T. Moore
and his wife. This non-action on the part
Of Florida officials in experimenting. or
encouraging the public to the extent that
something is being done in the death of the
two Negroes compels us to pose the ques-
ton, us killing Negroes crime?"
We have little evidence if any that any
state in the deep south considers the kill
ing of Negroes a crime, unless it is done by
Negroes, and then it is minor.
There is possibility that we are wrong,
and II we are, we'll pay for our mistake. as
we do in all cases, but We have no record
where a white person has paid the extreme
penalty for killing a Negro In most cases
where interracial killing is done If done by
4 Negro the extreme penalty is must and
seldom If ever, the Negro escapes.
We may be wrong again, and this is one
instance where we hope we are, but our
prediction is that the murderer or murder
ers of Harry T. Moore and his wife will
never be apprehended and convicted, unless
