Two More
Days

Bulletin
East Cleveland rolled up a 66
lead over its X-Ray tally of a
year ago, according to the Tues
day night figure. With Friday
and Saturday to go, it should do
better.
During the first week of East
Cleveland's 1854 chest x-ray sur
vey x-raying fell AZ films behind
the total number of free chest
x-rays taken during a similar
period last year.
Though this amounts to a de-
crease of only two percent, an in
crease of "a percent in number
of films taken must be realized
by the time the Christmas Seal
x-ray units leave the city on Sat-
urday, June II, if the aEst Cleve-
land goal of 5000 chest x-rays is
to be met.
Survey officials attributed the
early decrease to exceptionally bad
weather during the entire first
week of this years survey. The
weather was fine during the first
week of the 1853 campaign.
With the weather improving as
this week opened, a new surge of
participation in the x-ray program
was realized.
On Tuesday, the first day of
x-raying this week, 795 East
Clevelanders stepped before the
x-ray cameras, ALP at Taylor
Euclid and 383 at City Hall.
When added to the 1906 films
taken during the preceding week,
this raised the 1854 total above
that for a corresponding period
during the 1858 survey for the
first time.
Total films taken through Tues
day night, as the Leader went to
press, were 2,701 compared with
a total of 2,635.
eve think that older people,
especially, were kept home by last
weeks bad weather." said DR..
James P. Winkler, director of

Summer time is vacation time,
but the need for blood never takes
a vacation" warns Mrs. Kenneth
Watkins, Blood Donor chairman
for the East Cleveland Branch Red
Cross.
"There is a continued need for
blood. Instead of a fighting war
front there is still a disease front
at home. More blood, said Mrs.
Watkins, is needed on the local
front than ever was used on the
battle field. Last year alone,
Huron Road Hospital used 5000
pints of blood.
"We need $50 donors to make
our June mobile unit visit a sue
cess" reminds this dynamic chair
man of this critical need by Red
Cross.
Anyone who can give is asked
to please call either Mrs. Watkins,
Pc. 1-7091 or Mrs. Budd Andrews,
Branch chairman, GIL. 1929.
Scheduling, as far as possible, will
be arranged to the convenience of
the donor.

Final Appeal
For "" Fund

Up to Tuesday evening East
Cleveland has given or pledged
$4,000 of the needed 100000 as
its share of the proposed new
YMCA Building
The final report call here is to-
night.
Fund Drive Chairman Ralph
Wagner is still hopeful that East
Cleveland will come across and
that before the final report call
downtown Friday night, East
Cleveland can answer "Goal
Reached" when it's name is called.
In the event there are persons
who have been missed, persons
who would like to contribute to
a building to meet the needs here
in East Cleveland, a coupon will
be found elsewhere in this issue
of the Leader. No amount is too
small.
Contributions may be paid in
one check or over a period of three
years, to the convenience of the
giver.
Here is a request worthy of due
consideration. 1t involves young
boys. A YMCA gift is a gift to
support a worthy organization en-
gagged in fostering christian citi-
zenship.
This is the first overall capital
improvement drive put on by the
YMCA in its century of existence
here. Just how much of its plans
can be transferred from blue
print to actual building depends
on the number of dollars received
(. and every dollar will count.

Just two more days to have
your chest x-rayed for free.
What could be more important
than health; and what could be
more acceptable than the oppor-
tunity to KNOW if your chest is
healthy - and all for free.
How often has one heard it said:
"If we had only KNOWN what
was wrong, we could have done
something about it sooner. Well,
here is the chance to KNOW if
your chest is OK, if it is free from
tuberculosis, growths, or, in many
instances a heart condition has
been detected through a chest
x-ray.
If you or anyone in your house.
hold over Is years of age, has not
had a chest x-ray this year, make
it your business to have them visit
one of the two x-ray units now
here. Today and Friday they will
be at Superior Euclid and Noble
Greyton 10:30 to p. m. On Sat-
urday again at Noble-Greyton
from 9 q. m. to p. m.
We would like to reach the goal
but vastly more important,
we want to be assured that tuber-
culosis in East Cleveland is on the
decrease. It's a disease that affects
not only the victim, but threatens
the health of associates in the
home. in school, at work at play.
Act now.
Backed by city ordinance, Miss
Mary Loomis, Welfare Director,
and Sgt. Melvin Burkhart of the
city's Detective Bureau netted no
less than 81 different so-called
"comic" and "crime stories" and
"love stories" in a raid on news
stands here Monday. They cer-
tainly have a job on their hands
in which parents could be big
help by keeping an eagle eye on
the books their children pickup
at the store.
The closing days of the current
school year have given our resi-
dents the opportunity to observe
the excellence of our schools. In
programs, exhibitions, demonstra-
tions and scholarship awards, are
noted the evidences of careful
planning and understanding in
struction. East Clevelanders are
retting full worth for every penn!
being chapneled for this work
through school taxes. It's another
investment in youth that is bound
to pay off.

week. when one Of the fore
most supporters Of the original
Bricker amendment. Clarence
Manion. chairman Of the pres.
idential Commission on Inter-
governmental Relations, re-
signed by request of the White

Representative Mason, Re-
publican. of Illinois and Dud-
ley A. White, Ohio publisher
and former Republican Con-
gresham, resigned from the
25-member Manion commits
sion in protest. Mr.. Mason
called the custer Of Mr.. Man
ion "autocratic dictatorship"
White House spokesman in
dictated, however, that Mr..
Manion was asked to quit not
because he had stumped for
the Bricker amendment but
because his commissions work
had been tagging. And DEM

Manion had spent much time
on speaking trips in opposition
to other things the President

gresham said recently. "if we
insist on inflicting upon them
hardship like this" Most Con-
gressmen. however, say the law
doesn't go far enough.

Representative Heating, Re-
publican. of New York is plan

ticular concern is the lawyer
clause.
Mr.. Keating's anxiety grew
out Of the trial last month of
former Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Herbert A. Bergson on a
charge that less than two years
after he left Government serv-
ice, he sought antitrust merger
clearances for three firms
whose cases he handled while
still in the Federal post, a

was found innocent, but

Most Congressman are agreed,
however. that the conflict law.
as it stands today, is serving
the Nation well. They appar-
emily believe that competent
men are still to be found, either
among lower-income groups, or
among those who are willing to
make the monetary sacrifice.
