There are two things of interest
in the following reprint from Con-
tact, published for its members by
First Presbyterian Church. 1t pays
due tribute to one of our citizens
whose services often include COM
munity assist and -. it defines
a church secretary, clearly and
definitely and recognizes the lor
often "taken for granted"-post.
1934-1954
"On December 18th, 1884, Miss
Ruth E. Colbey came to this church
to be the secretary. She came on
tentative basis for part time only.
She has stayed with US in a per-
manent position on full time basis
at times, over full.
"The office of secretary in a
church is difficult to describe.
Nere is nothing like it in any
other field of business. 1t is in a
class by itself. 1t might be said
that church secretaries are born,
not made. The office is limitless
in it's scope; myriad in its duties,
exacting in its responsibilities; i'm
perative in its requirement of good
work and good will.
at is unnecessary to say that
Miss Colbey meets the requirements
of the office in this church in full
measure. We express our appre-
citation of her services and congra-
tulate ourselves that she has been
our church secretary for these
twenty years."-Contact.
A sincere "thank you" to all
you good folks who, in the midst
of your own busy holiday prepara-
tions found time to rush your news
items for an earlier deadline. Your
splendid cooperation made it pos
sible to handle even more news
than usual in the fewer hours be-
tween editions, and brought to
the readers those many interesting
items. Thanks, a million.
While preparing the 1854 re-
view elsewhere in this issue)
there came to mind the many hap
py associations and experiences
which newsgathering on subur-
ban weekly brings the meet
ing of so many fine people that
otherwise we could SO easily have
missed knowing. Always we feel
the community spirit which binds
this community in a common de-
sire to make of East Cleveland the
best possible place to live. We
hope to make our part of 1856
worthy of this spirit.
What to do with those beautiful
Christmas cards. It's really a
problem. We are almost inclined
to follow the pattern of the man
who returns them every ten years
-. or like a coterie of eight girls
who have kept the same birthday
box going the rounds year after
year as the different gifts were
sent on their way.
The open winter weather has
added to the joy of night cruising
to enjoy the more than usual love-
" outdoor displays. 1t all adds so
much to the Christmas spirit.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
reminds: Drive carefully, especi-
ally New Years Eve.
A Happy New Year to you all.
