lone Chance
Granted For
Rapid Transit

With the changing of zoning fol
the east portion of it's IL acre
Windermere property to clear the
way for the construction of 342
by 148 feet one story building,
the Cleveland Transit Board will
at once seek bids for the erection
of the proposed structure.
The City of East Cleveland is
deferring any zoning change for
the west portion of the plot, pend
ing more definite plans for its
use by CTS.
The zoning change was approved
by the Zoning Board of Appeals
Wednesday morning and was slat-
ed to come up for approval by
the Commission last night. No
was anticipated.
The changed zoning covers that
portion of the plot between the
Nickel Plate Railroad and Hayden
ave., 451 feet west from the east
boundary line, paralleling the
company's private right of way.
This right of way formerly used
by street cars will be bus lane.
On this rezoned property, CTS
plans to erect a one story building
to house Sc buses, administrative
offices, repair shop, wash rooms,
etc. An added area to the north
will provide auxiliary bus parking
space. Another area to the west
will accommodate 80 cars of en-
ployees.
All present buildings, except the
power house near Euclid ave. will
be razed
Specifications call for $750,000
expenditure for this improvement.
The Windermere station itself
will be placed south o fthe Nickel
plate tracks.

10-Year Iron
Lung Patient
Dies tuesday

Jane Ann Norton, %, who had
spent the past ten years in an
iron lung died Tuesday, January
1st at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy M. Norton, 2390
Charney rd. Service is being held
Friday at 200 p. m. from 16049
Euclid ave
Jane Ann was stricken i'll on
July 28th, 1941 month following
her graduation from Shaw High
School when ruptured blood ves-
sci at the base Of the brain affec-
ted the spinal chord, causing a
partial paralysis.
From then up to about. June of
1947 she was able at times to
leave the iron lung. Then she be-
came worse and has remained in
the lung.
Miss Norton's illness attracted
nationwide interest. Medical men
were interested because of the long
period of illness and everyone who
knew her, of the astounding de-
velopment of an artistic skill, hav-
ing learned to paint by holding
the brushes in her mouth, despite
the tremendous handicap.
In addition to her parents, Miss
Norton is survived by brother,
Guy A. Norton and a sister, Mrs.
June Weeks, and her grandmother,
Mrs. Alice E. Norton.

Increased Salaries
For City Employees
Ups Payroll $4,000

is granted. 1t will bring the sal
aries of Third Class men from
SO 1000 to $500; for Second Grade
men from $3,430 to $3.50; and
First Grade men from $4,000 to
| $4,000.
Under the new salary measure
the salaries of the Chief of Police
and the Chief of Fire are equalized
at $4,000. Previously the police
chief salary was the larger of the
two.
Department heads will receive
an approximate $3.50 year in
crease in salary. The City Man
ager and the Finance Director each
get $1,000 yearly increases.
Taxpayers may wonder just
whence the money to meet the
added SAT, 900, and the increased
operation-maintenance costs which
every municipality is facing, since
the city tax rate for the coming
year is the same as for the cur
rent payments. In answer to this
question, Finance Director Apthorp
points out that added revenues
from other sources will solve the
problem.
Included in these added revenues
is one neat figure of $45,000 re-
ceived during 1851 for inheritance
taxes, fund which normally aver
ages about $4,000 for a year.
Also adding to the general income
is the fines and costs item in the
police department where Municipal
Judge Stanton Adams has joined
the city and state in a battle
against overloaded trucks, by
handing out stiff sentences. The
exact amount of this income is not
available, all fines and costs going
into one fund. The overloaded
trucks damage streets and high
ways.
There are also gradually increas-
ing returns from the gasoline and
auto tax funds. The city has al
ready upped its water-sewage rates
to help meet water department
operation and maintenance.
The new salary ordinance does
mot include pakk. or plasground
salaTs sess Jhess to be prbvfdsa chs
spring.
Hourly rates for labor 60 up five
cents. These rates were also in
creased five cents an hour last
August.
City employees are meeting the
same retirement pay increases as
are other public employees, school
teachers, etc. There they formerly
paid $3.50 up to $4,000 of their
years wage, they now pay six
percent of the full amount of their
check. The smployer pays an equal
amount to the pension fund. The
raise. will also transfer number
of employees to a higher income
tax bracket.

"One Night
Polio Drive
Experiment

Can a fund, as urgent and as
large as the annual National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, be
raised in one big evenings work?
This is the question in the minds
of volunteers of all drives as the
1862 Polio canvass is fixed for
just one evening this year. Under
the unique plan the March of Moth
ers will start at 7:30 p. m. We'd
nesday, January 18th in door
bell ringing following the trail of
lighted porches throughout Cuya-
hoga County. 1t is hoped to finish
the campaign in just one hour.
Each volunteer will have but few
calls to make.
"How many workers will such a
plan require?" ask volunteers who
have had experience in fund rails
ing campaigns that went through
many days even with a goodly
number of workers. In East Cleve-
land, where Judge Stanton Adams
is again the chairman of the polio
drive, small army of workers
are ready for the signal. There
are 25 captains, as many co-cap-
tains and some 900 other aides to
be armed with the proper creden-
tials and the proper receipts, to
pick up the contributions from each
household.
"That lighted light on your
porch, or in your front window,
will be your invitation to the polio
fund canvasser to stop at your
door" states Chairman Adams,
who explains that Guyahoga
County headquarters believe that
all contributors can be reached at
their homes. and that q ope NIGHT
rcAidentsal5 q tEyass Should eiisnl-
nate the need Of business and in
dustrial campaign divisions. The
Wednesday, January 10th, 1880 to
$3.50 concerted effort will give the
answer.
A brief session for all East
Cleveland volunteers is being called
for Shaw High School Auditorium
Wednesday, January 9th at 200
p. m. Supplied will be provided and
a film will be shown. Notification
of this meeting will come to each
volunteer through the mails also.
The overall 1862 county goal is

Gtys 1851 Fire Loss Of
S3>230 Lowest In History

East Cleveland set new NUM-
cipal record in 1851. 1t had the
lowest fire loss in the history of
its fire department. For the
twelve month period fire losses
sank to a new low of $3,230, or a
eight cents per capital loss.
The previous lowest record was
in 1885 when all fire losses for
the year were $8,501. The unfort-
unate fire at Windermere Metho-
dist Church in 1916 made for the
city's biggest single year loss,
$176,059 for a $4.19 per capita.
There were 454 calls in 1851,
260 of which were responded to
with all equipment land the re-
mainder with small equipment. In
1850 there were 529 calls of which
301 were answered with heavy
equipment land 228 with smaller
equipment.
Cigarettes continue to be the
cause of most fires. One frequent
cause in previous years, hot ashes,
is gradually being shifted to
lower place on the list of causes
as gas and oil supplant coal as
fuel.
Fred w. Lange, chief Of the
East Cleveland Fire Department
in statement to the residents of
East Cleveland offers his congrat-
ulations for completing a year of
low loss which to fire department
statistics seem impossible.
Chief Longe explains that the
record of only $3,290 in fire losses
is even more outstanding in the

Former Resident
Scores In Messiah

Frances Keiffer Agnew, for
merly of East Cleveland and now
residing in Platteville, Wisconsin,
was soprano soloist in the Messiah
performance at Madison, Wiscon-
sin on Sunday, December 10th.
The performance was with the
Madison Civic Chorus, accom-
panied by the Madison Civic Sym
phony Orchestra under the direc-
tion of Walter Hermann.
Alexius Baas of the Madison
Capitol Times, comments on the
presentation as follows:
Frances K. Agnew soprano, and
Trudy Lane contralto are newcom-
ers to Madison. Both justified their
appearance here. Miss Agnew has
a clear sweet voice of ample range
and power. Her coloratura in "Re-
joice Greatly" was accurate and
effortless and the sustained beauty
of, 81 Know That My Redeemer
Liveth", was flawlessly 4siie.
Trudys Lanes rich contralto was
equal to the demands made upon
it. l have never heard the pathos
of "He was Despised", more SYM
pathetically interpreted. The duet
between these two, "He Shall Feed
His Flock" was one of the high
lights of the evening""
Frances is a Shaw High gradu-
ate, has an ALB. and B.S. degree
from Ohio Wesleyan and studied
sacred music for one year at Union
Theological Seminary in New York
City. Her professional appear
ances in California included the
Opera Workshop productions of
LA Boheme" and the one act
opera "The Maid and the Thief"
At present she is choir director ata
the First Congregational Church in
Platteville and is a successful
