X-Ray High
School Pupils
Next Week

The Christmas Seal mobile x-ray
unit will make its aRnual visit to
two East Cleveland high schools
starting March 9th to offer free
chest x-rays to approximately 1000
high school students and school
personnel.
Schools to be served are Shaw
High and Ursuline Academy of
Sacred Heart, 14016 Euclid ave.
X-rays are being offered as part
of the joint tuberculosis control
program of the East Cleveland
Health Department, the County
tuberculosis Clinic and the Anti
tuberculosis League. The service
is part of the same program which
offers free chest x-rays annually
to all East Cleveland adults.
According to DR.. James Stewart,
director of student health services
for the East Cleveland Public
Schools, high school students are
x-rayed because high school age is
the time when pulmonary tubercu-
losis is first likely to appear. How
ever, an additional purpose of
school surveys is to impress upon
students the desirability of getting
chest x-rays annually throughout
life.
GAS each person grows older, it
becomes more and more possible
that he may have tuberculosis"
Dr. Stewart said. at is simply
matter of exposure. The longer a
person lives the more opportunity
he has of coming in contact with
someone with active tuberculosis
germs"
"Thus, the older a person be-
comes, the more important it is
that he get a chest x-ray annually
to make sure he doesn't have TB."
A special effort is being made
this year to bring these facts to
the students of Shaw High. AS
part of this effort, an auditorium
program on tuberculosis is being
conducted at the school on Thurs
day, March 5th, by the Future
Nurses Club of the school and the
Anti tuberculosis League. The pro-
gram is under the direction of
Miss Nina McWebb, Shaw High
School nurse.

E. V. Rasmussen (left) presents
Frank r. Anderson (center) with
gold life membership in the
YMCA, as Mr.. Anderson resigns
to go to his new home in Danbury,
Conn. w. V. Cumler (right) pre-
sents a citation for Mr.. Anderson's
80 years of YMCA service.
Among the cherished posses
sions of Frank R. Anderson is his
life membership in the Young
Mems Christian Association. 1t
was given to him by fellow men,
bers of the Board of Managers of
the East Cleveland Branch in
recognition of his 80 years of de-
voted service to the boys of this
city.
The presentation was made by
E. V. Rasmussen, former local
branch secretary and now holding
the same position in the Greater
Cleveland YMCA, at a regular
board meeting Thursday, Febru-
ary 26th. This was a dinner and
the first ladies night dinner ses-
sion ever held by the Board which
also honored Mrs. Anderson at the
same time.
Commenting on the worth of Mr..
Anderson's services during these
80 years, seven of them as board
chairman, many as membership
chairman, many of them at Cen
terville Mills Camp, Mr.. Rasmus-
sen summed them up by saying:
'It's the leadership of men like
you that makes a difference to a
boy.
Verse writer Carr Liggett
penned this service history in
a neat citation read by Branch
Secretary w. V. Cumler. The
framed verses will find a place in
the Anderson's new home in Dam
bury, Conn, where they plan to
take up residence about the first
of April. Mr.. Anderson recently
resigned after 481s years with
National Malleable & Steel Co.
The many other community serv-
ices were mentioned by A. E. Grif-
fifth, able master of ceremonies.
In response, Mr.. Anderson said
the friendships won were full re-
ward, friendships of many, many
boys as we'll as of the men with
whom he had been privileged to
work in a common cause. A collec-
tor of poems, Mr.. Anderson read
one of his favorites. 1t asked that
he be remembered for the friends
he had made.
Another delightful party given
for the Frank Andersons was held
Tuesday night in the Coral Room
of of the Masonic Temple. The
hosts were city officials and pre-
sent and past members of the East
Cleveland City Commission of

of this years show is the Senior
Prom. The story concerns five
boys, Len DiLillo, John Kline, Bill
Parkhurst, John Colacarro, and

SO over come by his worries he
falls asleep in study hall and
dreams the rest of the show.
This annual event on Shaw's
Calendar will be staged tomorrow,

The Review has an unusual fea-
ture, a choral speaking group
which announces the show. Also
featured are the Sophisticated
Wheels, a really terrific skating
number. The -Four Capas", a vocal
quartet give their rendition of the
theme song and two other selec-
tions. To add variety, there are
the flying drumsticks of Chuck
Alexander and Tom Griffith. For
the more classical minded people
there will be beautiful ballet. Mr..
Albert Dolan will again add his
baritone voice to review.

mittee; cooperating with the city
school program; cooperating with
City Hall in its many avenues of
service, the overcrowded condi-
tions confronting Shaw Pool; and
making the city and community
conscious of the seriousness of the
present threat to our democracy.
