Round Robin
Games Start
At laygrounds

A favorite pastime with many
children at Shaw Playground is
sand modelling. Here, using damp
ened sand, the children give ex-
pressions to their creative ability
and mold all manner of things in
the sand.
Recreation Director Roy Wisecup
announced the three winners in last
weeks modelling. The swan, the
work of Joyce Maybury, 14104 Ar
denall ave., won first place. Second
place honors went to Richard Flor
ELI, 1871 Hayden ave. for a castle.
Margaret Jones, 14318 Elm ave.
was third with a three-leaf clover.
Despite the heat active young
sters spend busy hours at the city's
Fairgrounds. With registration
closed last Friday a large number
of them are right now discussing
the annual round robin contests for
aerial tennis, eel ball and checkers
which got under way Monday of
this week at Mayfair and Shaw.
Shaw pool continues to break
bathing records as the summer of
1852 has already chalked up more
hot days than all the records for
full summers up to now. From all
ages, the toddlers on up to the
adults, the pool beckons with its
fresh and cool water.
With so many bathers, extra
checks are being made as to the
purity of the water which goes into
the pool.

REVELATIONS
Against Him

Alertness on the part of cruising
Euclid policemen brought about the
confession of 26 year old driver
who had run down an East Cleve-
land pedestrian early Sunday
morning on Highland rd., just
south of Euclid ave.
Patrolmen Dominic Bosco and
Robert Goodwin, along with Sgt.
Dave Culmer and Euclid's De-
tective force, were credited with
quick solution of the hit-skip ac-
cident.
After dening his part in the ac-
cident in an all-day questioning,
Charles F. Caputo, 26, of 1906
Casper rd., whose record shows 19
traffic violations since 1947,
promptly changed his story when
police produced positive proof that
his car was involved.
Struck down in the accident was
Adelbert Nolan, sc, of 1922 Hay
den ave., who along with his wife,
had been walking toward Euclid
ave., after being involved in an
other accident on Highland Hill.
Nolan with fractured right leg,
is reported in good condition at
Huron Road Hospital.
Mrs. Nolan obtained a good
description of the runaway car
and turned the information over
to police when they arrived on
the hit-skip scene after investigat-
ing the accident on Highland Hill.
About one hour after the hit
skip report, Patrolmen Bosco and
Goodwin spotted suspicious look
ing car parked at East 228th and
Euclid ave. 1t closely resembled
the hit-skip car described by Mrs.
Nolan. The auto was towed in by
the police and an owner check made
through the license plates. Mean
while the police revisited the hit
skip spot and found fragments of
glass and chips Of paint that were
turned in for lab tests. Tests
showed that the glass and paint
were from the car found parked on
Euclid ave.
About four hours after the ac-
cident Euclid and Cleveland police
received a stolen car report. Check
ing the report, the police picked up
Caputo and held him for further
questioning.
At first he denied his part in the
accident, maintaining that the car
was stolen from his driveway.
However the time of the reported
theft did not correspond with the
time the accident occurred.
Caputo finally confessed when
the broken glass, chips of paint
and his early morning whereabouts
failed to support his claims of
having had no part in the accident.

Start Work On
Rapid Bridge Over
HoIyoke Avenue

Holyoke ave. is closed to through
traffic as work gets underway on
the construction of Rapid Transit
System bridge across that street.
The work is being done by Hor-
vitz Co., which holds the contract
for the six bridges to be con-
structed along the right-of-way of
the proposed rapid from Winder-
mere to the downtown terminal on
Public Square.
Traffic is dead ended on either
side of the construction area and
open from there to Euclid and Hay
den ayes., respectively.
Four of the bridges will be with
in East Cleveland. They will cross
Eddy rd., Lake Front ave. and Els
more ave. Work on these structures
is expected to be taken up, one by
one, upon completion of the Holy
oke job and the connecting links
of roadway in between.
The contract for the six bridges
calls for an expenditure of

know why l do it, except you
recognize your responsibility to
your Partner, and you do it," he
said.
Based on the number of beds in
each institution, Huron Road with
its $50 beds will receive $310,374.46,
the fourth largest gift. University
Hospitals topped the list with
$775,936.16. Western Reserve Uni
versity is second with $717,290.17
and st. Luke's Hospital is third
with $413,832.62.
St. Vincent Charity, Mount Sinai
and Alexis hospitals each received
$258,645.39; Fairview Park Hos
pital, $206,916.30; Evangelical

each $155,187.23; Parmadale Chill

and Jones Home for Children $34,-

The total gift is the largest
single money gift from one indi-
vidual in the history of the city.
Mr.. Foster has previously given
many smaller totals. Foster
Engineering Hall at Fem College
is one of them.
None of the recipient institution
representatives invited to dinner at
Hotel Statler had the least hint as
what the dinner meeting was for.
Mr.. Foster enlightened them when
he remarked that while some men
will their fortunes, he preferred to
enjoy seeing his received. He was
deeply rewarded. AS the men re-
ceived the gifts, they were notice
ably overcome with not only the
surprise, but with the sincerity and
simplicity of the giver. Mr.. Simms
terms it ga great testimony to a
great man and encouragement to
each one of u.s."
The gifts carry one restriction.
They must be used for capital i'm
provements "a restriction with
which all can readily accomply.
Raymond Bodwell, superinten-
dent at Huron Road since, as a
contractor he finished building it
II years ago, says the gift will
mean the realization of a long
hoped for expansion to meet the
constantly increasing needs of the
hospital. 'The gift will certainly
assist us in our plans for an over
all expansion program to include
the latest accepted equipment and
service of the larger accommoda-
tions. We expect to have 400 beds
against the $50 We now have. We
are overcrowded."
Hover, while waiting to build,
the hospital has constantly kept
pace with modern hospital service.
Prior to the location of the hos
pital here, it was located on Huron
rd., Cleveland, whence it got it's
name.
Foster spends the warmer
months of the year in his four
room cottage on Sandusty Bay. In
the winter season he goes south or
south west.

Record Tax
Return Seen
By Monroe

Another record tax return is be-
ing tailed by County Treasurer
Leslie R. Monroe. Up to today
the returns, due by noon of Satur-
day, July 10Th had added up to
$32,884,884.06
Billings for the six month period
were $39,756, ,439.42 Of which more
than two thirds had been checked
off by the deadline. Accounts being
counted since then are the thous-
ands of last minute mailed in re-
turns which were acceptable if
postmarked prior to midnight of
the 10Th.
Speaking of payments by mail,
Monroe said mail payments have
never been so heavy as this year.
Thousands of them remained to be
checked at closing time.
Another assist to the treasurer
in the tax paying was the large
number of property owners who
this year took advantage of the
opportunity to pay their tax bill
at their neighborhood bank, paying
the small fee of 25c for the service.
The banks then list the hundreds
of bills together, putting the total
in a single check, thus reducing
considerably the work of the treas
urer's staff.
Current collections do not include
returns from recent forfeited land
sales. Tax delinquency totals, said
Monroe is gradually coming down,
a decrease of more than $5,000,0O0
being recorded for the first six
month period of this year.
Collections for the first six
months were more than $41, 1,0OO,-
100000. There is a penalty of ten
percent on all tax bills not paid by
deadline time.
