Every person who donated blood
to the Red Cross is offering a
double service to the less fortunate
declares Miss Mary Francis, 1908
Stanwood I'd.
"For every pint of blood donated
to Red Cross for gamma globulin,
that pint of blood represents a
financial gift to the National Polio
Foundation as well, because the
less blood the Foundation has to
buy to secure the vitally needed
gamma globulin, the more dol
lars it will have for the treatment
of the case ITSELF" explains Miss
Francis.
Gamma globulin is the new blood
derivative being administered to
polio contacts. 1t is believed to
lessen, and may possibly eradicate,
paralysis in polio cases.
Miss Francis speaks from her
own experience when she pleads
for blood donors on East Cleve-
land Blood Donor Day Thursday,
August 9th. She is paralyzed from
the waist down as the result of
polio. She, like every paralyzed
polio victim, hopes that gamma
globulin will spare future polio
patients from a like aftermath.
The National Polio Foundation
has designated American R d
Cross as its medium to secure and
process blood for gamma globulin.
Red Cross accepts its new assign
ment, while continuing to furnish
blood for wounded veterans.
Miss Mary Jean Sturroch, Great
er Cleveland Red Cross aid in its
Blood Donor Division resides at
10000 Terrace rd. Speaking of the
August 9th Blood Donor Day
here she says:
Being an East Clevelander, I
am proud of the generous way in
which the people of East Cleveland
have donated their blood. In a
program such as this where pre-
sent needs are continuing, and new
ones constantly arising, we know
that East Cleveland will again give
its share.

Hi|Itoppers
Garden Tour
Wednesday

Hilltop Garden Club Tour Day
has become a delightful annual
event. Garden will be opened to
members Wednesday, August 10Th.
This year the three we'll estab-
lished, thoughtfully planned gard
ems of varying types to be viewed
by gracious consent of their own
ers are those at the homes of Mrs.
Stella NJ. Antisdale, 1905 Rydal-
mount rd.; Mrs. Harry C. Morrison,
1896 Blackmore rd., and Mrs. Lam
dis r. Bradfield, 1494 Rydalmount
rd.
For thirty-two years Mrs. An
tisdale has found time and energy
to keep her garden in a succession
of bloom that is the envy of any
gardener. Flowers have been her
love, her hobby, and her business.
She has commercialized gladiolas,
deservedly earned the title, "The
Glad Lady" The delicate pink
"Stella Antisdale" named for her
is grown all over the world and by
the million in Australia where it
thrives best. In addition to being
one of the founders of The Ohio
Gladiolas Society and of a bird
lovers club now known as The
Audubon Society, she has been
active in many Greater Cleveland
garden clubs.
Large trees and Towering shrubs
afford privacy and a lovely back
ground for the beautifully edged
borders and dividing beds of an
nuals and perennials in her garden.
Landscaping and lawn problems
have been successfully solved in
Mrs. Morrison's garden. Establish
ed some twelve years ago, it has
been developed by the Morrisons
since they moved there six years
ago. Many trees characterize this
garden, but there is ample room
for ANIMALS, roses, and perennials.
Mrs. Morrison has generously Of
fered to show her garden even
though she must be out of the
city at the time. Mrs. Allen K.
Gaetgens, will act as garden hos
tess for her.
Much of the emphasis in the
Bradfield garden is on the profu-
sion of ground cover and green's
ivy, mahonia, and synonymous.
Refreshments will be served
here. Mrs. William M. Council,
social chairman will be assisted
by Mrs. Edward w. Alderman,
Mrs. Wendall H. Abbott, Mrs.
Frank M. Wood, and Mrs. ]. Fred
Wenger. September flower show
plans will be discussed.

Up to noon Tuesday, August
18th, only II complaints had been
received by the East Cleveland
Citizens Rent Committee. Of this
number Is had been on the table
at the initial session, July 28th.
Scheduled FOR last nights meet
ing was the first open hearing. 1t
concerned a rent increase of from
S45 to SIS. The Committee men,
ber assigned to this complaint re-
ported he had been unable to reach
any kind of an adjustment, the
landlord insisting on the increase.
The committee is gratified at the
few complaints received so far.
Whether this indicates that East
Cleveland rents are remaining as
they were, or, that landlords are
merely delaying increases, remains
to be seen.
Inasmuch as so far, the rent
meetings have been held on We'd
nesday evenings and the Leader
deadline is Tuesday for the Thurs
day edition, no report can be made
to the readers as to the last nights
session.
Continued and incompleted COM
plants held over from the July
28th meeting were on last nights
agenda.
All complaints are being num-
bered in the order of their receipt,
and are being carried by that
number in the files and in the
minutes by the secretary.
Disposition of the Is cases at
the close of the July 28th meeting
was as follows: Adjusted 6, Con-
tinued 6, Withdrawn 2, Scheduled
for Public Hearing l.
In cases where rent increases
are the result of landlord-tenant
relationship, rather than the actual
rent involved, the committee ad-
vises cancellation of the increase
and eviction of the tenant. In these
instances the Rent Committee holds
to a reasonable length of time for

II Rent Complaints
Received BY Local
Committee To Date

the tenant to find another rental
unit.
In the majority Of Continued"
cases, the Committeeman assigned
to that complaint been unable to
discuss the complaint with both
landlord and tenant. 1t is the policy
of the Citizens Committee to get
both sides Of the question in each
instance.
At the July 28th meeting of the
Rent Committee a general discus
sion was had with respect to an
overall measurement for the de-
termination Of increases in rentals
which will be approved by the
committee.
Taking into consideration the
action of the Federal Rent Control
authorizing a 209o and later
1870 rent increase on the basic 1947
rent figure, it was the opinion of
the committee that such authorized
increases should be maintained in
sofar as they met with no undue
hardships.
Furthermore, in no instance can
house be left unsafe, nor can
the Committee guarantee to any
landlord he won't have to make
repairs if the unit is not in an
acceptable condition.
In one continued case, the 21%o
increase sought by the landlord is
referred for further checking.
1t was pointed out that increased
rents causing hardships to tenants
can prove detrimental to landlords
who eventually will lose his ten
ant. Increased rents must take into
consideration the general condition
of the unit.
The Committee is finding that
single and double rental houses
present quite a problem. Rentals
on such properties, it is believed,
should be based on the purchase
price, rather than on any inflated
value on to today's probable sale.
A 5000 rent increase over the
1947 basis rent of a single or
double house is all that is justified.

Social Security Urges Brides to Notify Agency On Change of Name

"June, the month of brides, is over," says James G. Browne, manager of the Social Security field office in Juneau. ''Only the Bureau of Vital Statistics can tell us how often during theo a MISS became a MRS. Actually, we do not care"
 However, the Social Security Administration does care if you change your name. We want to know about it SO that we can change OUR records and YOUR card.
 "A Social Security account is something like a bank account" says Browne. If it belongs to Miss Jones, we cannot post credits to it for Mrs. Smith. Unless we have been officially informed, we really do not know that MISS Jones and MRS. Smith are the same person. Mrs. Smith may work and pay Social Security tax, but we cannot credit her account since it was issued to Miss Jones'"
 Tt is very easy to change your name in the records" Browne states. "A simple form, which takes couple of minutes to com plete, is all that is required.
 These forms can be obtained at any Social Security Administration field office The Juneau office is located at 104 Front Street, Ju- neau, Alaska. Those who cannot come into the office should write to the Social Security Admins tration, Box 1881, Juneau, Alaska.

Ben Hogan Wins British Open Golf Championship

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, R = Ben Hogan has proved, even to the skeptical Scots in this birthplace of the game, that he is the modern wonder of golf.
 The Texan, four times winner of the US. Open, shot a magnifi- cent 282, four strokes better than anybody else at Carnoustie, to win the British Open Champion ship Friday with a par-busting final round of 68.
 Through the stretch drive he ig- nored chills, influenza and aches from old injuries received in a 1949 auto accident to capture the coveted title in his first try - something no other American ever was able to do.
 The great Bobby Jones, winner in 1927 and 1880, was among the also-rans on his first attempt. The old master, Walter Hagen, a four-time winner, finished 55th on his first trip and Gene Sarazen, who took the 1882 title, failed to qualify in his first attempt.
 Antonio Cerda of Argentina fin ished with 286 for four-way tie for second with Frank Stranahan, Toledo, Ohio, amateur; Dai Rees, chubby, good-natured Welshman; and Peter Thomson, Australia's promising young golfer.

East German Soldier Trains TOmmygun on Adlai Stevenson

BERLIN, R - A Communist East German Peoples Army sol- dier held a tommygun on Adlai Stevenson in East Berlin Satur- day and said in English "You move and I shoot"
 Stevenson held still. For 20 min utes, Red police and soldiers de- tained the defeated Democratic US. Presidential candidate and his party of seven persons who had set out to tour the Soviet sector of Berlin.
 Before letting them go, the po- lice seized all the pictures the group had taken of Stevenson clambering around the bunker on Wilhelmstrasse where Hitler is be- lieved to have committed suicide.
 Then Stevenson completed his tour of East Berlin without fur ther incident-but with no more picture taking.
 Before crossing over, Stevenson had commented, with reference to the June IT rebellion, "The flame of resistance to tyranny burns ever bright" in East Berlin.
 T pray for the day when Ger many will rise again in freedom and unity" he told Lord Mayer Ernst Reuter- and other Western city officials as he signed the Golden Book at the city hall.
