What began as an Emily st.
block party in which the residents
of the south side of the street
planned to honor the residents of
the north side of the street has
leaped into an all-out cooperative
benefit for the Emergency Polio
Funds.
Come Saturday night, the block
from Fay to Superior will be one
gay midway with all manner of
games, contests, food stands, dane
ing and what-have-you to ease the
dollars out of the pockets of the
hundreds Of visitors it is hoped will
flock to the scene.
From the simple paper napkin
wrapped around a hot dog, to the
grand award, a glass lined hot
water heater, all has been donated
in an outpouring that has even the
originators, Mrs. c. A. Dick and
Mrs. George Papadelis and Mrs.
R. c. Chappell, gasping for breath.
The men folk are putting up the
booths. The children are running
errands. The Alert Electric Co. is
stringing lights. The Price Service
Co. is flooding a vacant lot for
booth sites. The adjoining yards at
the homes of the Dehm-Ridinour-
Taylor families are being cleared
for dancing. Balloons are being
strung. Canned goods are being
dumped into a Grab Bag. There
will be a mitch where fresh flowers
will be sold.
So it goes on and on with
high expectations to add hundreds
of dollars to the Polio Fund as
Emily st. neighbors have a fare
well to those being vacated for
CTS progress and invite the
whole town to join in with the
goal: A bigger East Cleveland
Emergency Polio Fund. -
To date East Clevelanders have
shared $2504.0O with their polio
stricken victims and families. This
is the sum reported to press time
by Chairman Stanton Adams, who
extends grateful thanks to the
all-town response to the Emergen-
cy Polio Drive.
The dollars and the pennies have
been garnered from all manner
of benefits from a two-glass
lemonade stand, vacant lot, vacant

Little League
Banquet At
Shaw on 22nd
By Bob Keefer

Doing anything on Wednesday,
September 22nd about 6:15 p. M?
We'd like to have you over to
dinner if you can make it. Where?
At Shaw High School, of course
it's the Second Annual Banquet
sponsored by East Cleveland Little
League, Inc.
This invitation is extended to
all boys who played Little League
basebabll during the past season
as we'll as the members of the
Minor League championship team
-Alan-Frank Co.
We also extend a cordial invi-
tation to the boys parents as
we'll as the league officials, man.
ayers, coaches, umpires and scor-
ers who helped make the 1854 sea-
son a banner one.
A fine meal has been planned
by Mrs. Kerr of the Shaw Cafe
terra staff which should tighten
everyone's belts. Following the
meal, there will be a presenta-
tion of trophies to members of
the championship teams, World
Series movies and an interesting
talk by a prominent member of
the Cleveland Indians.
Souvenir programs will be dis
tribubted to all who attend which
will contain all the final statistics
for both Little Leaguers and Pony
Leaguers.
Since the Shaw Cafeteria has a
limited seatin gcapacity, it will
be necessary to limit the attend
ance to 450 persons. Therefore,
it will mean that reservations
must be made not later than Fri
day, September 18th.
Letters have been mailed to all
Little and Pony Leaguers as well
as the other guests who have
beep invited to attend so that
Chairman Barney Fieltz and his
Banquet Committee can make ad-
vance preparations. A reserva-
tion form is included in the letter
which should be mailed imme-
diately to insure accommodations.
Remembers, "he who hesitates is
lost" and we don't want to lose
anyone.
Pictures of all the Pony and
Little League teams were taken
last month and are still available
for anyone who hasn't ordered
one yet. The players x 10 size is
priced at $1.O0 while the smaller
5x7 prints may be obtained for
fifty cents. You may telephone
your order by calling Bob Keefer
at Ii. 1916 and the pictures
will be distributed at the banquet
if the order is received by Septem-
Der 18th. Those who have not as
yet seen the pictures may view
them at the banquet where they
will be on display and where last
minute orders will also be taken.

and used car lot dances, backyard
bazaars and carnivals, food sales,
game events and the passing of
a hat by wee workers at Little
League baseball game.
Last Saturday nights dance on
the Economy Buick used car lot
afforded the Auburndale neighbor-
hood the opportunity for a grand
evening. They responded $559.14.
The H. & L. Dairy Bar and the
Twin Seat Auto Seat Cover Co.,
sponsors of the Bryn Mawr dance
and bazaar the previous Wednes-
day wish to thank the Ara Equip
ment employees and neighborhood
merchants and residents for their
contribution: $295.36.
Chairman Adams has the
staunch support of the small fry
in his home neighborhood. Fifteen
girls and boys, ranging in age
from five to II years of age col
lected $409.17, harvested over a
period of days in which they took
afling at every suggestion to bring
in a dime. They rang doorbells in
the apartment houses, they offered
entertainment, they sold cookies.
Between times they came in small
groups to run errands and do other
campaign chores.
Making up this lollypop brigade
were Camille Spiccia, George
Sapir, Bob, Ronnie, Bill and Jim
Patterson, Chuck Pierce, Donna
Tucker, Bob Swearingen, Jack and
Eunice Brown, Tom Petit and Con-
rad Laughinghouse.
George and Tom had a special
interest in the campaign since the
formers uncle and the latter's
cousin have had polio.
Among the checks which have
been left at City Hall are two that
carry more than their monetary
value. Each was given in memory
of relative victim of polio.
A $500 contribution was totaled
from the Shaw ave. between Hay
den and st. Clair neighborhood,
with booths, games and other at
fractions centered in the adjoin-
ing yards of the P. L. Schneider
and Anthony Jamrik families,
1921 and 1879, respectively.
This was a Mother-Children en-
terprise with the Mons taking
turns furnishing the refreshments
and the children taking over the
games. The benefit starter Aug
ust 31st and ran nightly through
Saturday, being rained out on the
End, necessitating renewal of crepe
paper decorations.
An afternoon at cards was en-
joyed by the neighbors of Mrs.
Sigmond Jacobs and Mrs. Sidney
Haberman Of Eddington rd. The
pleasant hours were spent in the
Jacobs home and the pleasant
monetary results-$38.OO, was con-
tribubted to the emergency polio
campaign.
East Cleveland police are lend
ing hand by receiving any and
all polio contributions taken to
City Hall.

Wearing the festive garments
peculiar to the Korean Christmas
season, 17-year-old Margaret Nah
proudly displays her country's flag
as she poses with Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Tanno and their son David,
10. Miss Nah will make her home
with the Tannos, at 1926 Berkeley
rd., while here on a students visa
through sponsorship of First Pres
byterian Church.
East Cleveland First Presbyte
rian Church has taken on its own
Korean rehabilitation project. 1t
is a five year plan: the education
of a young Korean woman for
a YWCA career among her own
people.
Chosen to complete her Senior
year and college courses in Cleve-
land is 17-year-old Margaret Nah
of Seoul. The charming youg girl
arrived here by plane last week
and had her first day as a student
in an American High School We'd
nesday. She is enrolled in Cleve-
land High, where she surprised
faculty and students alike with
her splendid English vocabulary.
During her stay in the United
States Margaret will make her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Tanno, 1926 Berkeley rd., Cleve-
land Heights, active members at
"Old First" The Tannos have one
son, Dan, aged 10.
Miss Nah's parents are Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward c. Nah active in
the social and educational circles
of Seoul. Her father is in the
export import business which
hasn't Jared too well during the
past few years. He is a graduate
of the Dai-Dong School of Law
at Seoul, where he also majored
in the philosophy of religion, the
Kwam Sci Gakuin University,
Kobe, Japan, and Emory Univer-
sity, Atlanta, Ga. He is the presi-
dent of the Korean Lsws Tennis
Association.
Her mother is a graduate of the
oldest mission school in Korea,
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1954-09-09

Chung Shin School for Girls, where
she also has taught. She is on
the national YWCA board, is a
director on the board of the In
ternational YWCA Training School
and president of the Mothers AS
sociation of Kyeng School, Seoul.
A sister, Grace, Is, plans a
career as a pianist.
The becoming costume donned by
Miss Nah for the accompanying
picture is very gay. Fashioned of
cotton materials, the blouse, in
yellow is of heavier weight than
the rosy red skirt. The long full
sleeves are of multi-colored stripes.
Around her neck is a banding
bearing the symbols of Happiness,
much of which is wished for this
young guest in our midst.
On her feet Margaret wore light
blue sandals of an elastic fabric,
cut to turn up and rolled slightly
into points at heel and toe. Her
stockings Of white cotton were
similar to gauntlet gloves.
When asked about her short
haircut, Miss Nah said most of
the girls in Korea prefer the
short cut. Her hair is raven black.
While living in the United States
is quite different from that in
Korea, the fact that the young
girls parents spent several years
here, has acquainted her with many
of our customs.
According to Mr.. and Mrs
Tanno, Margaret is adapting her
self nicely to new surroundings
and new modes. She thrilled to
her first American picnic last
Friday. On the mantle in the liv-
ing room lay her Korean Bible,
in native tongue. 1t showed signs
of much use. She is at home in
Old First Church, having been
reared a Presbyterian. On the
living room wall was a lovely
tapestry brought by Margaret for
the Tannos.
The Korean flag she holds in
the picture has a red and blue
circular symbol cS1tered on a white
background. The added motifs are
in black.

their best to take care of the sit

Howdy! Here we are back home

It's always good to come back to
familiar faces, familiar places and
familiar duties. We revisited
many lovely spots, Franconia were
we rode the tramway and paid
our respects to the Great Stone
Face. We trudged the Ausabe
Chasm and at North Pole saw the
children crowding around Santa

are glad we visited Old Stone

decided that whatever noise might

to the wedding party motor horns,
