Along in early afternoon the
adults began streaming in. They
checked in at the Log Cabin to
drop their treasured coupons in
the prize barrels; one for dream
of 1854 Mercury, and one barrel
for the major and dozens of minor
awards which were realized at the
evenings Platform program.
From then on it was a busy NOV
ing crowd as the Log Cabin mer-
chandise displays, the auto show,
the three ball games and the after
noon contest program Wed with
usual park attractions for their
time. Not to mention the glad
"Hellos" as an old friend or a
former neighbor was greeted.
It's difficult to know just who
to thank for such a grand picnic.
So many people help in so many
different ways, and each way add
ing to the success of the day.
Officially, however, there is Bob
Stratton, jr., doubling in brass with
the Euclid ave. craftsmanship
tucked in his job as general chair
man; and the district chairmen, Ed
Paul in Hayden; Lou Divito atop

Responsible for the great prize
collection is Don Fisher while Al

Sewers For

Two storm sewers emptying into

to be traced and water tested to
seek out the source of an algae
which appeared on the lakes sur
face a week ago, reports Malcolm
s Douglas, city engineer. Work is

ing of the lake.
lake.
Samples of the red scum were
sent for analysis to the Cleveland
Department of Public Health and
Welfare on Tuesday, July 18th.
One week later w. H. Hay, chief
of the laboratory reported the
presence of an algae.
Since the scum was first noticed
on the west side of the lake where
the Forest Hills blvd. storm water
enters, the tests will start with
that sewer. A second storm water
sewer enters from the southeast.
The checking will be extended the
length of the sewers to the city's
south boundary line.
Mr.. Douglas explains that the
scum, originating on the west end
of the lake, was spread over the
waters surface by the wind. Only
storm water is supposed to enter
the lake.
In further study of the tricky
problem, arrangements have been
made for consultant to visit the
lake Wednesday to determine if, as
an interim aid, there may be some
water treatment available which
would not be dangerous to fish,
pets or humans.

day noon. Tom Meinhardt, super
visor at that playground, informed
police that four Little League
baseballs, one basketball, two zell
balls and one umpire's indicator
were missing when he opened the
locker Monday noon, July 18th. No
one had been on duty there since
Friday, since Fairgrounds are not

A watch and $50 in cash are
reported missing from Stokes Bar,
1857 Superior ave. over the week
end. Paul Elwood, a private watch
man discovered rear screen door
ripped and a broken pane in the

of having been tampered with.
Apparently nothing else had been
disturbed.
At 10:30 a. m. Monday, July 10th
the police department received two
calls reporting a spike driven into
the tire of a parked car. Investi-
cation proved that such acts of
vandalism had taken place within
a short distance.
One auto belongs to Mrs. R. F.

ner from Hayden, on Ardenall ave.
The other car belonged to Jane
