Two types of trees developed
specially for city environment have
been planted this spring by the
Park Division of the City of East
Cleveland. William Robertson di-
rected the planting.
Both sides of Deanwood ave.
have been planted with dwarf Paul
Scarlett Hawthornes and six of the
same type trees have been planted
along the north side of Terrace rd.,
between Nela and Hillside aves.
This tree gets its name from the
rich red of its blossoms.
Because a deeper tree lawn per-
mitted a larger type of tree, the
Moraine locust was chosen for
landscaping both sides of Ravine
dr., from Noble I'd. to the city line.
The Moraine Locust is patented
tree. 1t is thornless and seedless,
and its full ~ feet heighth has an
attractive vase shape. 1t is classed
as a rather fast grower, adding
approximately an inch a year.

Winkler, health director; Miss
Helen Smith, health commissioner;
Richmond M. Rice, city commits
sioner; Mrs. Victor Wallace, presi-
dent of the PTA Council and Miss
Nina McWebb R.N. of the Shaw
High School medical staff.
Ardent director of the entire
county field service program is
Mrs. L. C. Tefft who explains that
the year-by-year free X-ray pro-
gram is a part of ten year pro-
gram during which decade it is
hoped to eradicate tuberculosis.
Once again PTA members from
throughout the city are signing up
to work two-hour shifts as host
esses, clerks, and in oher necessary
capacities.
1t is urged that every person Is
years of age or over, have a Free
Chest X-ray every year. Persons
who contact children, and this in
cludes grandparents and babysit-
ters, should not miss this oppor-
tunity to check their own health to
guard that of the children. Tuber-
culosis is not inherited, say the
health authorities, but it is con-
tagious.
Miss McWebb suggests that any
Shaw High School students who
missed the checkup when the mo-
bile unit visited the high school
earlier this spring, take advantage
of this visit in their neighborhood
Of the clinic and check their chests.
Mr.. McNeely and Mrs. Tefft are
making a special effort this year
to get all employees in places
where food is handled, and all en-
ployees of the many smaller in
dustries in the city, to check in for
a checkup.
Check the schedule-then check
your chest.

Dump Site
Resumed On
Lake Shore

The Lake Erie shore fill-in
dump site will be re-instated, it
was decided by city councilmen
Tuesday night. They decided that
the Jackson street site near Por-
tage River is too small for dump
ing purposes, and, as Council
man Lee Bracken put it, much
too expensive to maintain with a
monthly fire-fighting bill of
S150.00."
The dump, in some mysterious
manner, catches fire almost daily,
and is threat to nearby resi-
dences, it was reported.
The dump site was moved last
spring when high water came up
and swept much of the debris, in
Guiding fill-in ground, out to sea.
City officials estimate that if
sufficient rubbish and dirt can be
dumped on the Perry street i'm
provement project, the inland la
goons and low spots could be per-
manently filled, thereby bcauti-
flying the lake front.
1t was decided that the lake
dump grounds will be open to the
public from October l to March
l. In the spring a new site will be
sought, it was indicated.
