First Annual
Shaw Alumni
Varsity Night

Something new is being added
to the Shaw holiday program. It's
First Alumni-Varsity Night in
the Shaw Gymnasium Wednesday,
December 30th, with the latch
string out for every present and
former Shawite, especially those
who have been interested in bas-
ketball.
The evening will start off with
an Alumni Varsity basketball
game at 1880 o'clock, and start all
over again at 8:45 to midnight
with a Shaw-Alumni dance. Ad-
mission to the game will be 3Oc
for students and 60c for alumni
and friends of Shaw who are also
welcome. Dance tag is SOC and
$1.00.
Athletic Manager Bob Louis who
is planning the big evening said
Tuesday that already lined up to
try their hand at basketball are
the former Cardinal star cagers
Don Barry and Lloyd Wittinmer,
now at Ohio u; Floyd Kragenow
at Rutledge; George Dostal and
Ken Horton, at Reserve; Ken
Reber from Baldwin Wallace;
John North from Miami U. and
Bob Palmer from Kent State, to-
gether with Dixie Guenther who
added to his basketball powers in
the U. S. Marines.
Within the coming days, there
will be other alumni home who
also will want to get into the
game, says Mr.. Louis, so there
probably will be quite an array of
former Cardinals to defend the
Alumni against the stellar Cardin-
ais now winning top honors for
Shaw in the secondary scholastic
basketball world.
The entire affair will be in
formal. Dancing will be to Les
Elgin and his orchestra.
Should this Alumni Varsity
Night prove a success, and there is
little doubt about it, it will become
regular holiday feature, states
Mr.. Louis who adds, that it is but
one more event made possible by
the new Shaw Gymnasium.

Accident
Insurance
Gets Okay

With a view Of lending every
possible assistance to the physical
education programs now being
sponsored by the YMCA, YWCA,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and
churches of the city, the board of
education has adopted a special
rate schedule. The reduced rate,
however, is contingent upon an
attendance at any activity of not
less that 25 persons.
A communication from the PTA
Council requested information as
to the availability of a site for a
proposed ice skating rink. The
suggestion first made by the Shaw
PTA to the Community Council has
since been brought to the atten-
tion of the city officials. The city
is checking with other communities
having similar ice skating rinks.
The matter was referred to N. F.
Leist, Assistant to the Superin-
tendent with a request that he
checks all school property as to
it's availability for use for such
a rink.
In another PTA Council spon-
sored proposal, the board approved
plan by which pupils could have
the coverage of a school accident
insurance policy. Details will be
furnished parents by the PTA
which will administer the program.
The board make it clear the plan
is entirely voluntary on the part
of the parents.
In answer to a question put by
Mrs. Sterling Parker, a PTA re-
preventative, Mr.. Leist said the
new installations for the Shaw
Pool filters are supposed to be
shipped on December goth. 1t is
planned to make the renova.ions
during the holidays, said Mr.. Leist.
At present there is in effect a
rate schedule for the pool and the
gym, based on the actual cost to
the board on an hourly basis. The
special rated grantde the above
named groups, or any groups in
the same category which might
be added, is as follows:
For 1954-309o Of the regular
rate; for 1955-4O9o of the regular
rate; for 1955-50% of the regular
rate.
Request of st. Agatha's School
to use the gymnasium Superior
School Thursday from a to 6 p. m.
and on Friday from 7 to 9 p. m.
was granted. All such agreements,
however, are subject to cancellation
in the event of a school activity
being booked for either night.
Upon the recommendation of the
trustees of the East Cleveland
Public Library, the board approved
the re-appointment of Mrs. Har-
riet Baldau for another term of
seven years, beginning with this
November.
A 17.3 mills tax rate fixed by
the Taxing Commission for the
school district for 1854 was ap-
proved. The rate is 31s mills over
the 1853 millage, the difference
being the 31a mills voted in No
vember 1852 for the 1868 duplicate
and payable starting with January
1854.
Mrs. Ruth NORM, clerk-treasur-
er reported that the district had
kept we'll within it's budget and
would close it's 1853 books with
the balance required to meet pay
rolls etc. in 1854 until the new tax
returns would be forthcoming.

Donations of Blood
Decrease 5Oq6 Here;
Red Cross Asks More

Blood donations at the Red
Cross Washington Regional Blood
Center have dropped so per cent
since the Korean truce, c. Carney
Smith, chairman of the regional
blood program, said yesterday.
In urging the public to re-
member that the blood dona-
tions are still needed, he de-
clared:
"Our daily quota at the center
(2025 E street N.W.) to meet
commitments to the Defense De-
partment alone and to the
scores of hospitals receiving total
blood supplies from the Red
Cross remains at $50 pints a
day."
Mr.. Smith said blood needs Of
hundreds of hospitalized service
men in this area are just as
acute as during actual combat.
He added that the steadily in
creasing use Of whole blood in
civilian hospitals also is adding
to the need.
The center distributed a total
of 1888 pints of blood in the
District and communities in
Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia. A total of 873 pints
were shipped to the Defense De-
partment.
Bloodmobiles will make the
following visits this week, all

Senate Unit Restores
Funds for HOUSING
That House Rejected
BY the Associated Press

A Senate Appropriations sub
committee has voted to provide
funds for building $4,000 low
cost public housing units which
the House has refused to ap-
prove.
Senator Saltonstall, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, chair
man of the subcommittee. said
restoration of the housing funds
to the independent offices ap-
preparation bill for the fiscal
year starting July l was still
subject to action by the full
committee.
The subcommittee gave the
go-ahead signal to the housing
units by increasing administra-
tive funds for the Office of adj
n1inistrator of the Public HouS-
ing Administration from $4,948,-
900 approved by the House to
$9.6OO,0OO.
The independent Offices bill,
as recommended by the Senate,
totals $467 ,293,05 or an in
increase of slightly more than
SIG million above the amount
approved by the House.
The total, however. was about
1928 million under the revised
budget submitted by the Eisen-
hover administration for the
various agencies INCLUDED in the
bill.
Senator Saltonstau said there
was a division of opinion in the
subcommittee over allowing
funds for the $500 housing
units urged by President Eisen-
hover.
He declined to give the vote.
although he said he personally
supported restoration Of the
public housing item.
The full Appropriations Com
mittee will meet Monday to act
on the subcommittee recon-
mendations, Senator Saltonstall
said.
Senator Saltonstall said the
subcommittee cut below the
Eisenhower estimates was &C
counted for largely by acceptance
of the Houses action in deleting
$192 million for the Federal con-
tribution to the civil service re-
tirement fund.
The Senator said the subcom-
mittee decided to go along with
this action after Chairman Phil
lip Young of the Civil Service
Commission advised that enough
money was available for the
fund pending a complete review
of requirements and operations.
