Fans May Get
Stands On Hill
Says Wiseeup

East Cleveland's Little League at
Superior Hill playground has come
of age.
That's the opinion expressed this
week by Roy Wisecup, Recreation
Director and also Commissioner Of
the local Little Leagues.
Since the boys under thirteen got
going on a full scale at Superior
Hill, attendance at the playspot has
mounted.
"Seems the folks up the hill are
aware that those youngsters of
theirs can really play ball" said
Wisecup.
Compliments have been many,
complaints few at the field. One Oh
the complaints is about to be taken
care of and that-lack of spectator
seating facilities.
Director Wisecup has made ar
rangements to check stands now in
use at other cities. AS soon as he
finds the type Of stand that would
DE suitable for Superior Hill, ar
rangements will be made to pur-
chase and install the stands for
spectators.

Rare Ivory Collection Includes
Jewel Enerusted Bishop Ages Old

Shown is the Jeweled Bishop, q
pure Renaissance carving which
Miss Cramer considers the finest
she has had the opportunity of
examining. She has Travelled
throughout Europe in her search
for choice worries and her collec-
tion contains among it's pieces,
eight Chinese gods, giving every
indication of having been one artist
from the same ivory tusks.
The Jeweled Bishop stands 10
inches high and is carved from
African ivory which is whittier and
requires centuries in which to mel
low. The Bishop wears stole and
mitre and full robes deliberately
carved in low relief Stimulating
embroidery. 1t is encrusted with
vari-colored jewels, each stone
carefully set in its own mounting.
On his right hand he holds a
church; in his left, the cozar; signi-
flying that he is founder of the
faith, upholder of the church." II
opens to show exquisite high relief
carvings-the left panel of ST.
Margaret and the lions; the right
Cecilia and her music; and the
center panel, st. John and the
beggar.
The earliest known worries, said
the. collector, are diptychs, cut in
book form about 200 B. C.
Miss Cramer made a startling
discovery in a Madonna in her col
lection. A plug in the base was
being forced out. Curiosity re.
vealed tapering cavity filled with
a re d ddish granular substance
which, under chemical analysis was
found to be human bones. The
Madonna is a reliquary.
Ivories, said Miss Cramer, trace
religions trends down through the
centuries, as well as revealing
customs the times before the
Christian era.

City To Get
Its Biggest
Apartments

What will be the biggest apart
ment project to date in this Sec
ton of Ohio is to be started in
East Cleveland this year. When
completed in it's entirety it will
comprise seven eight and nine
story brick apartment units on a
12-acre tract in that part of For
est Hill Park fronting Superior
I'd. south of Terrace rd. Total cost
of the project will be about
$10,5O0,O00.
This particular tract is the only
portion of Forest Hills Park now
available for apartment builings.
1t is so designated under the deed
given to East Cleveland when the
city acquired the park, the former
home of John D. Rockefeller.
The IL acres, in two plots, were
sold by the city in 1947 to Charles
Bernstein, president of the Forest
Hills Development Co. They are
separated by 500-foot wide park
strip. Present plans call for the
building Of four units on the plot
nearest to Terrace I'd. There will
be 415 two and three room air con-
ditioned suites to be rented for $50
to S11O a month. The remaining
three units with 318 suites will be
erected later on the plot south.
The first unit parking plan calls
for spaces for $40 cars. Parking
for tenants will be on the ground
floor. Off street parking will be
provided for deliveries and guests.
Since the location of the new
apartment development is within
a few blocks of the rapid transit
line now being built by the Cleve-
land Transit System, limousine
service will be maintained between
the apartment and the Superior
ave. station of the rapid transit.
During the past twenty years,
Mr.. Bernstein has built 76 apart
ments for total Of 3,050 suites in
the select Shaker district. The To-
cation of his newest development
will afford the most ideal of liv-
ing, within park where every
suite will have an unrestricted
park view.
Architects for the Forest De-
velopment Co. are Weinberg q
Teare. Construction will be in
charge of Cleveland Shaker Co.
Zoning details for the develop
ment are COW being checked by the
Mr.. Bernstein and the city. Actual
work on the project is expected
late this summer.
The development will not only
afford much needed residential
units in East Cleveland, but will
add to the city's tax duplicate, and
the accompanying tax returns.

They Hold To
Lady Luck And
Vacation Again

Two years ago, Hurricane Easy
and Fox blew themselves out into
the Atlantic just prior to planned
Caribbean Clipper tour by two East
Clevelanders.
Last year Lady Luck smiled
again upon the travellers when
their plane left Mexico City few
hours before floods inundated that
ancient city.
How long can persons good
fortune last? Time and experiences

Alice Jones, 1910 East 143rd ST.,
librarian at Memorial Library and
Miss Clara Eagan of 1920 Wood
worth rd., employed at Fasteners
Institute, are safely across Missis-
sippi and are enjoying the old
Spanish atmosphere of Santa Fe,
New Mexico. By intuition they
changed their time of departure
and route and so were on their
way ahead of the tornado that
struck Bowling Green. They ar
rived in El Dorado, Kansas in the
wake of a flood that swept away
rs homes.
The girls are making a circle
tour of the Southwest. From San
ia Fe, they will drive to Bondelier
National Monument, visit the In
dian village on the high mesa at
Acoma, the University of Albu-
querque, the Indian ceremonials at
Gallup, New Mexico and the Pueb-
los at Taos.
From New Mexico they go to the
Petrified Forest, the Painted des-
ert and Grand Canyon. Here they
plan to take the helicopter to the
bottom of the canyon, or - if
modern scientific transportation
fails, ride the burros.
Zion and Bryce National Parks

Of II per operating hour, equal
ing the record for such surveys set
earlier this year in Euclid.
The recent survey raises the
total number of free x-rays taken
by the Christmas seal mobile X
ray units in East Cleveland this
year to 1852. Included in this total
are 1920 x-rays taken at Shaw
High School and 62 taken at Ur-
suline Academy of the Sacred
in March.
During this 1853 survey, Ill
volunteers served ss clerks and
hostesses at the x-ray units. This,
too, is q record for East Cleveland
according to survey officials.
In commenting on the success of
the survey. DR.. James P. Winkler,
director Of health, said, "It is
gratifying to know that SO many
people have apparently accepted an
annual chest x-ray as good yearly
health habit.
"Within a few weeks every per-
son who was x-rayed will know for
sure whether or not he has healthy
lungs. 1t is a good feeling to get
such assurance and / am sure that
these same people-and many
hundreds will be back at the x-ray
units again next year for their
yearly chest x-ray check-up."
DR.. Winkler also pointed out
that those who were x-rayed were
making a real contribution to the
health of the community.
"Those persons who discover,
through x-ray, that they have
early tuberculosis will have the
opportunity of obtaining prompt
medical treatment. Not only will
this help to insure their prompt
recovery, but it will also allow them
to protect their family and friends
from being infected with the dis
ease," he said.
LII. w luhlcI says LhdI dAl Al oJo
taken during the survey will be
read by chest physicians at the
County tuberculosis Clinic. He
says that Clinic officials have as
sured him that reports on these
x-rays will reach individuals with
in about six weeks or less.
Statistical data on the survey,
giving number of cases of tuber-
culosis and other chest conditions
found, will be forthcoming later,
DR.. Winkler said.
The survey was sponsored by the
East Cleveland Department of
Health, the County Commissioners
and the Anti tuberculosis League.

Lock That Bike

AS regularly as the play
ground program starts at Shaw
Field, reports of missing bikes
reach the police department.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
today urges every boy and
every girl riding a bicycle to
the field to lock it when they
park it in the bike stand.
Chief Weaver reports that
officers are noticing any num-
Der of bicycles at Shaw field
minus a license. Every East
Clevelander riding a bicycle
must get a license and place it
on the vehicle. 1t aids in identi-
flying a missing bicycle 4.
and it is also a traffic regulation.
So the warning is: Lock that
bike put a license tag on it.

task, Mr.. Donelan picked up the
carcass and disposed of it by way
of the incinerator. He reports the
