Over 300 Men
Plan To Attend
Fellowship Hour

Five hundred members of the
mems clubs of the city's Protestant
Churches are expected to attend
the first meeting of the East
Cleveland Christian Fellowship.
Because of the large response, the
dinner meeting has been trans
ferred from Windermere Methodist
Church to Shaw cafeteria. The
date is Tuesday, April 22nd, at
$50 p. m.
DIR. William J. Mcleod of Bald
win Wallace has been engaged as
the speaker for this meeting.
All of which goes back to a
board meeting of Windermere
Mems Club when the idea was ad-
vanced for get-to-g -gether of rep
resentatives from the mems groups
of the other Protestant churches in
the city. Attending the initial
planning session were James Bate
man of East Cleveland Congrega-
tional, Mr.. Russell J. Henneke of
First Presbyterian, William Zim-
norman of Windermere Presby-
terian, Loren Gray of The Church
of the Cross, Al Reid Of Trinity
United Brethren and Tom Stand
ing and Herbert Howe of Winder-
mere Methodist. Out of this evolved
the East Cleveland Christian Eel
lowship which has grown to in
clude some 300 men.
Future plans are for an annual
get-to-gether with each of the
city's twelve Protestant churches
taking turn as host.
All men interested are welcome
but reservations must be obtained.

Its Orchids To Police And Firemen As
Two Families Get Aid In Hour Of Need

Orchids came to East Cleveland
police and firemen again this week
as two families were privileged to
experience the ready services of
these departments. In each in
stance the LEADER was called
by families and requested to
"Please thank them for we want
everyone to know how good they
are"
First came the call from Victor
Plastock, 1865 Roxford rd. in
whose home tragedy stalked when
their five-month-old son died sud
denly Saturday night Finding the
child i'll within half-an-hour after
having been put to bed, the frantic
parents called the police. Both
police and firemen responded and
worked furiously in vain attempt
to save the infant who was pro-
nounced dead at Huron Road Hos
pital The baby had not been i'll
until now. The Plastocks have one
other child, Eleanor, aged 9 years.
Among other things, Mr.. Plas-
took said the best return an East
Clevelander gets on money spent is
that deep appreciation one feels
when a service such as this comes
so promptly, so efficiently, and in
so sympathetic a manner.
In the second instance it was the
case of a dog, beloved by George
7, and John II, sons of the George
Dirners of '14523 Ardenall ave.
After their usual evening rOmp
with Pal, the boys were off to bed.
A few hours later the dog became
i'll and died at 2:30 a. m. Not know
ing how to Immediately dispose of
the animal, the police were called,
Mrs. Dirner explaining that if pos
sible, they would like to have the
animal taken away before the chill
dren would see it. Promptly the
service was given.
There was much weeping, any
way, in the morning when we had
to tell the boys that Pal was dead,
but they had been spared the added
grief of seeing their dog, dead" ,

wife FOUND UNCONSCIOUS

TACOMA Especially - Beaten
almost beyond recognition and un-
conscious Ruth Beverly Allen was
found by her husband. James. on
Monday. January 10.
But much mystery surrounds the
kidnapping or leaving of Mrs. AL
len whose whereabouts were be-
ing sough since Friday. January 4
when she bacame the center of po-
lice and Missing Bureau investiga-
lions and search.
Mr.. Allen states that he found
his wife unconscious lying under
a bed in the Hollywood section of
the waterfront here in Tacoma.
After failing to find her in Sc
attic decided to go to Tacoma"
remarked Mr.. Allen. "On arrival I
began to show her picture to sever
al people. A cab driver told me he
saw a lady Of that description on
the waterfront.
Il searched the area" said Mr..
Allen, "and finally found the ma
yor of the area who told me he
thought he had seen her too"
L Mr.. Allen said he went from
shack to shack and finally knocked
on one door and no one answered
and the door would not open.
He summoned police who assist
ed him in opening the door, he
states, and under the bed of this
dog house shack my wife was
found unconscious.
Her clothes we're so dirty and
torn and body so bruised from the
beatings could hardly recognize
her. In addition to a bruised body
my wife had lost nearly Is pounds.
Mr. Allen states that his wife
was questioned about three hours
by police and then released. They
returned home by bus.
However at their home, 1922
Gath Avenue North where Mrs. AL
len is improving, police say her
story is somewhat conflicting as to
the whole incident Whether she
was kidnapped or left home of her
own accord is not clear.
