Virginia Baldwin Is
Missionary To India

Of all that took place at The
Great Conference of Methodist
Women in Milwaukee, Wis, this
week, one event is of special sig
nificance to the members of Wind
ermere Methodist Church, East
Cleveland. This is the formal dedi-
cation and conservation of Miss
Virginia Baldwin as a missionary
to India.
In September Of 1949, Miss
Baldwin, a Shaw High and Cleve-
land College graduate then teach
ing in Warrensville Heights, ac-
cepted call to teach in India for
three years. She prepared for her
new assignment at the Hartford
Theological Foundation and was
sent to the Stanley Girls School
at Hyderabad, India.
Then the three years were over,
but in the meanwhile Miss Bald
win had decided upon her lifetime
career. Her conservation as a mis-
sionary to India from the Metho-
dist Church will soon find her back
in that country.
Among those who witnessed the
impressive ceremony was her pas
tor, DR.. M. Wayne Mcqueen and
Mrs. Mcqueen, and the Winder-
mere's official representatives to
The Great Conference, Mrs. Homer
Alexander and Mrs. Frank Eel

Chest X-rdys June I

Report Carries
New Pledge

When one thinks Of a city'a an.
nual report, one usually thinks Of
figures. And figures aplenty are
in the annual report of the City OF
East Cleveland being released to.
day by the City Commission. How
ever, for the first time, full page
is given to a council that is not
directly a municipal function, but
is definitely a vital organization
namely the East Cleveland Com
munity Council.
Highlighting the page IS copy
of My Pledge to East Cleveland, a
pledge which the City Commission
now endorses through it's inclusion
in their annual report. Both the
Council and the Commission hope
that every East Clevelander
whether a resident or following a
vocation here, will join in this
pledge.
There are so many 'new" things
in the 1853 report, touching on
varied matters of Importance to a
community.
New in the Police Department
are eight policemen, bringing the
roll to SO. New is the alocometer
which aided in definitely determin-
ing that III drivers were behind
the wheel while intoxicated. With
out this device the 1852 report
showed SO. New was the left hand
turn lane and signal arrow plans
to speed the flow of traffic at con-
gested intersections.
The "new" spills over into the
Recreation Department where in
PRODUCTION of the first Little
League Baseball met with such a
response that 1854 finds a Pony
League addition. Also new were
two volleyball and two aerial ten
mis- courts.
All departm en- t al reports
are to the point, highlighting the
activities of each. A few COM
ments of the financial statements
are made by city officials.
The increase in Fines, Costs,
Forfeits and Waivers is due to an
added 1000 parking meters, plus a
dollar increase from So to $4 on
delinquent tickets. With more ar
rests in 1854, this added income
helps boost the total to S154, ,128.
The 1852 total was $118,745.
The increase in the Police de-
partment expenditures covers a
general salary. increase and the
salaries for eight new men.
Under General Expenditures the
"New buildings, equipment, other"
refers to new rolling stock.
The $5,25O.88 Capital Improve
ment expenditure in the water de-
partment represents extensions and
new installations, labor and ma
terial.
The city's bonded debt is at its
lowest, $236,O00, since the 1927
peak.

Favor Percent
Water Rate

- At a meeting Of the Board of
Control of the City of Cleveland
Wednesday morning, it adopted a
resolution favoring the 1870 -20%6
formula as a base of determining
water rates. The 1870 would
serve the Master Meter consumers
and the 2086 would apply to the
direct service consumers.
A resolution supporting this ac-
tion will be introduced to the
Cleveland Council June 7th. Only
a unanimous decision from the
Mayors Association will be ac-
cepted for discussion.
Commenting on the 1870 rate,
City Manager Chas. A. Carran con-
siders it to be the most acceptable
since it is based on costs.
The plan calling for a flat rate
would have increase the East
Cleveland water payments 57@6,
states Mr.. Carran.

Three Leagues
Parade FRIDAY
81 Love a Parade.

| LONS a al dOC
That, of course, is famous song
title and we hope that every East
Clevelander will feel that way and
be in attendance for the Pony,
Little and Minor League Parade
next Friday, June 4th.
AS you may remember, the
Weather Man was very unco-oper-
ative last year and ruined the
parade plans with a "deluge of
dampness". With the combined
cooperation of the elements and
parents, we hope to produce the
largest and best parade in local
history this year.
Bob Kennedy, Chairman of the
Parade Committee, has arranged
for a long and interesting process
sion down Euclid and Shaw aves.
In addition to the more than $50
Pony Leaguers, Little Leaguers
and Minor Leaguers who will be
proudly modelling their baseball
uniforms, the parade will include
both the Shaw High and Kirk Jr.
High Bands and Majorettes, a fire
truck, members of the East Cleve-
land Police Dept, the Auxiliary
Police and a corps of new con-
vertibles to transport league and
city officials.
The parade will form and begin
at Lee Rd. and Euclid ave. and
proceed via Euclid and Shaw to
Shaw Stadium at 6:15 p. m. sharp.
Following the parade, each of the
four Pony League and eight Little
League teams will play one in
ming each of baseball as a prevue
to the League openings during
the week of June 7th. This will
give local baseball boosters an op-
portunity to see the boys in action.
It's typical of American boy
hood to enjoy the display of their
athletic prowess before an appre-
ciative audience, especially if it
includes members of their family.
So give "Junior" break, Nom and
Dad, and make sure that you're
there next Friday to see your son
perform - he'll get a big kick
out of having you there. The Date
Friday, June 4th. The Time -
6:15. The Place - Euclid & Shaw
for the Parade, Shaw Stadium for
the ball game. Please plan to at
tend - we know you'll enjoy it!

Goal of the 1854 program is
eight thousand chest check-ups. To
meet this goal, over five hundred
East Clevelanders will need to visit
the units of each of the fifteen
working days.
A total of fifteen working days
will be spent at nine central loca-
tions with morning, afternoon, and
evening hours scheduled to make
it possible for all persons over fif-
teen years of age to have a chest
X-ray.
Charles A. Carran, City Manager
of East Cleveland urges, "a chest
X-ray is the best way to protect
yourself and your family from
tuberculosis. tuberculosis is no re-
specter of persons or peighbor-
hood, take a minute for your ex-
animation. You'll be glad you did,"

Extend W"
Fund Drive

The YMCA building fund cam
paign, which had been scheduled
to end on June A, will be extended
one week, to June IL, Curtis Lee
Smith, general chairman, an
nounced today.
SIN order to assure the success
of the Y's 900 campaign it
will be necessary to canvas all the
$4,000 prospect cards now in the
hands of the workers." Smith said.
"As of today, just two days before
the long holiday weekend, only
about $4,000 cards are in, which
means that workers would have
only six work days left to see
some $4,000 prospects unless the
campaign were extended.
Recognizing this as a we'll
nigh impossible task, campaign
officials have decided they must
give workers an additional week
to complete their all-important
assignments. After waiting more
than 40 years to have this cam
paign, YMCA officers believed
they should not rush it to a close
and in doing so risk depriving
thousands of interested persons of
the opportunity to give. 1t is too
vital to the future of the youth
of Cleveland for this to happen" +"
Smith said.
GAS the largest campaign of its
kind in the history of Cleveland,
the Y's capital campaign is unlike
annual campaigns for operating
expenses. Prospects must be seen
a second and sometimes a third
time. 1t must be remembered that
the average personal gift to date
is $203.37 and the average in the
present public phase of the cam
paign is $49.02. People seldom give
amounts this large on the first
visit.
"To date the Y has $3,S18,000
or better than DO per cent OF Its
$6,719,000 goal, with only 1877
per cent, of the cards covered. By
extending the drive for an addi-
tional week after the holiday in
terruption, we are confident the
desired result will be achieved.
"My experience in other drives
has proved that it is unfair and
great letdown to thousands of loyal
workers to come up to the final
night of a drive before announc-
ing its continuance. We would
rather make the announcement
now and prepare the workers for
the tremendous job that remains
to be DONE"
