Tighten
Firedrn
Control

Upon the recommendation of
city officials, all sections Of the
city's misdemeanor ordinance con-
cerning firearms and other dan
gerous weapons, have been amend
ed to provide more stringent reg
ulations. The amended sections,
presented to the City Commission
Tuesday night with the recon-
mendations of City Manager c. A.
Carran, Chief of Police H. S.

new section which makes it un-
lawful to sell, offer for sale, or
give to a minor a pistol, air pistol,
rifle, shotgun, airgun, or auto
matte knife having a blade 212

To cover the increasing habit
of having a gun in ones auto
mobile, the section prohibiting the
carrying of firearms on ones per-
son is strengthened with the clause

This Is Why
Tax Bills Are
Long Over Due

"When will the tax bills be
ready?"
This is the question City Hall
is receiving daily from taxpayers.
In reply Finance Director G. T.
Thorp reminds them that the de-
lay in sending out the bills is due
to a controversy between Cuya-
hoga County Office and the State
Board of Tax Appeals. County Of
ficials declined to make the 259o
tax increase requested by the state,
taking the issue to the Supreme
Court. The case has been heard,
but the decision has not been
handed down.
If the county wins, the tax bills
will have to be made out, which
will take at least a month. If the
state wins, all accounts will have
to be re-calculated. So it could be
many weeks before taxes can be
paid.
In the meantime subdivisions are
doing the best they can with funds
on hand. !

1906 until 1919 with the 1915 sea-
son the only one in which Shaw
did not have team. R. c. Morris
followed Offinger for a two-year
period and then ]. L. Snavely took
over between 1922 and 1929. Roy
Wisecup started off his long ten
ture in fine fashion in 1929, guild
ing Shaw to its first champion
ship in the Lake Erie League.
From that point on, Shaw recorded
245 triumphs against 126 setbacks,
added nine more championships, a
district championship and in gen.
eral, maintained a high ranking
among local scholastic quintets.
When the 1853 season is over,
Coach Wisecup will have completed
25 years at the helm of Cardinal
basketball teams. (In 1887, Roy
had to take it easy due to an
operation, with Trevor Rees hand
ling the cage mentors duties for
that season..
Getting back to the new basket
ball emporium, first planning for
additional physical education facil-
tiles started in 1888. William
Council, then business manager,
began drawings for a proposed
field house. Necessary property
for the proposed building was
acquired in 1914.
After a two year waiting period
when nothing could be done due to
material shortages and lack of
funds, interest was again revived
but new ideas came into the pic
ture
The field house type of construc-
tion was dropped and new plans
discussed on a gymnasium type of
building. This decision was reached
in April, 1916, following an extern
sive trip through the "hotbed" of
Observation-Disclosures, with the fol-
lowing observers going along:
Superintendent o. J. Korb, Prin-
cipal M. C. Dietrich, William
Council and school board men,
bers George Nelson, Paul McClel-
land and Zenas c. Kline.
More delays followed until fin
ally in 1850, general plans were
completed and the firm of Fulton,
Krinsky and DelaMotte was en-
ployed to draw up plans and cost
estimate.
Citizens of East Cleveland, fully
aware of the needed additional
physical education facilities, and
we'll informed on the cost and ad-
vtanges through numerous articles
in The Leader, approved a bond
issue for the gym by 78 per cent
margin in May, 1850.
Construction started one year
later after more land was acquired
to make possible the type of build
ing planned.
East Clevelanders as we'll as
members of the Shaw High faculty
and student body can be rightfully
proud of this new addition to the
long established and illustrious
history of Cardinal Sports.
Although the building is pri-
marily designed for basketball
with three full courts available for
use at the same time when not for
spectators entertainment, other
activities in the structure will in
clude volleyball, badminton and in
door baseball.

The S467,000 structure, one of
the finest indoor athletic plants in
this part of the state, was origin
ally scheduled for completion in
December, 1852, but material
shortages and other unforeseen
difficulties delayed the planned
opening.
Not only is the new Shaw gym
building considered to be the most
modern and complete in its class,
the 1896 seating capacity is the
largest for high schools in the
Northeastern Ohio area.

Honor Memory Of
Mrs. Marjorie GIynn

In grateful memory of Mrs. Dom
aid Glynn, an outstanding East

the Caledonia PTA. Mrs. Glynn is
remembered by her community as
tireless worker for the Cub
Scouts and Boy Scouts. She was
active in PTA at Caledonia where
she was on the Board for several
years. Her interest in youth and
literature prompted the committee

Accident Rate
For December
On Up Grade

December, 1852 bids to break a
record for motor vehicle accidents.
While the trend is always upward
as winter approaches, the Records
Department of the East Cleveland
Police Department reveals a de-
cided upward sweep in the num-
Der of accidents so far for Deem
ber. Up through Friday, December
26th, 1O5 traffic accidents had
been investigated by Lieut.. Charles
Vyse and, Sergt. Pat O'Malley Of
the departments safety division.
Figures for other months in the
year hover around the 60 mark.
The two major causes of traffic
accidents are Following too close"
and Failing to yield the right
of way.
While drivers in the 16 to "a
age bracket represent but Is per
cent of all persons holding drivers
permits, they are accountable for
25 per cent Of all accidents.
The record also reveals, states
Miss Eileen Maloney, statistician
for the department, that most
accidents occur between the seven
to nine o'clock working hours and
the three to six o'clock afternoon
hours.
"Winter Driving Hazards" is the
January-February theme Of the
Ohio Safety Council and the XII
wants Club is providing the funds
for the two-month period posters
and leaflets reminding motorists
to drive with winter hazards al
ways in mind.
Sgt. O'Malley states that re-
ports from other sections of the
state indicate a corresponding in
crease in December accidents pos
sibly due to the open winter pre-
vailing up to now.
