Survey For
Parking Lot
IsRequested

Securing a parking lot in con-
gested business district is long
and seemingly slow step-by-step
procedure, but the possibility Of
establishing such a convenience for
shoppers in the Noble-Nela neigh
borhood is on it's way.
At meeting Thursday, August
9Th, of the majority of property
owners interested in a parking lot
to preserve this long established
and busy commercial neighborhood,
it was unanimously agreed to re-
quest the cities of East Cleveland
and Cleveland Heights to make the
necessary survey. The survey
would establish the probable num-
Der of cars to be parked, the
needed area, and the best location
obtainable for the lot.
However, before the survey can
be started, it is necessary for the
property owners to indicate their
cooperation by signing petition
formally requesting it. Such a
petition is now in the making.
Costs of such a parking lot
would be met one-third by the two
municipalities within whose limits
it is located ,and two-thirds by the
property owners within the definite
taxing district.

Shaw Alumni To
Dance At Mentor
Friday Sept. 10th

It's dance time again for all
Shaw High School graduates. The
fourth late summer dance will
again be held at the old stamping
ground-Mentor. Chairman Marty
Lotus announces the date as Fri
day, September 10th.
Vince Pattie is rounding up an
all-Shaw orchestra for the special
evening.
In addition to having a grand re-
union of school friends, the dance
is building up what it's originators
hope will one day be a goodly-
sized scholarship fund. Out of the
proceeds of the first dance there
was purchased the plaque honor
ing the memories of Miss Barnaby
and NJ. c. Dietrich, former princi-
pals. The sum was 1920.
The second and third dances
brought in $218.25 and $3.50 respec-
lively, which, with $14.25 interest,
totals the Shaw Alumni Dance fund
now at $5O1.50, reports LOTUS.
Trustees of the account are John
Walworth, James Bernier and DR..
Martin Lotus.
Dance attendance varies from
500 to 500, and it is hoped the
Friday date this year will see a
crowd equal or larger to any crowd
yet.

'AH Will Be
Ready For
First Day"

It won't be long until school bells
will be ringing and the school Off
cials are getting all ready for the
coming of the pupils. Maintenance
crews and special contractors with
their crews are rushing to finish
all started jobs here and there in
and about the several buildings.
A white out door trim adds a
fresh appearance to Shaw High
School and Prospect Elementary
School, neighbors on Shaw at Eu-
cid.
Contractors are going right
along with the job of reinforcing
the west stand at Shaw Stadium.
Concrete is poured and all is ready
for the steel work. Waterproofing
is also being done there and the
press box has a face lifting in the
way of a fresh coat of paint. No
work is being done on the east
stand at the present time.
At Rozell School, PTAers are
happy and otherwise. They are
happy over the addition of a lot,
from which an old frame dwelling
has been razed. The ground means
a future ball diamond for the
school play-yard. However, it is
probable that this part of the i'm
provement will be not be completed
this fall.
The PTAers are not so happy
over losing their own room at
Rozelle. 1t is being converted into
a classroom. A new floor has been
laid, new removable type seats in
stalled. Their kitchen corner is in
tact, separated by a temporary
wall with a doorway, ready to be
used when needed.
Minor repairs elsewhere are COM
pleted or about so. Trucks of sup
lies have been unloaded at the
warehouse or the Board of Educa-
tion offices and are being distrib-
uted to various buildings or neatly
stored until called for.
Most all top employees in the
educational department have been
at their desk since the first of the
month. While no registration fig
ures are definite, indications point
to larger enrolment this year.

Chairman Adams is sending out
letter to each volunteer-about
700 calling on them to tell their
neighbors and close friends of the
polio need. He also suggests they
do whatever they can, except
door-to-door bell ringing, to help
bring in the dollars for polio.
East Cleveland Chairman STAN
ton Adams says a polio contribu-
tion is unique gift, it's an in
surance against polio. 1t helps
meet the huge costs of a polio
case, a cost which a family could
not meet.
''The public has become accus-
toned to having the Foundation
take care of polio cases." says
Chairman Adams. at has been
able to do this with this insurance
money whichthe public has given
in the One Night Mothers March
once a year. Now we don't have
the money. But we don't feel
justified in abandoning the pro-
gram or any part of it. We are
obligated to give complete cover
age.
So we come to you-the public-in
this special appeal. Your answer
will determine what can be done in
the months ahead until the time
for the annual campaign in jan
uary."
Polio funds are different from
other funds in other ways, points
out Chairman Adams. They are a
gift from the home. No industry
or business solicitations are made
in the annual campaign. It's the
home which suffers when polio hits
the family.
Mr.. Adams reminds that had it
not been for the new vaccine pro-
gram, the Foundation would have
been able to meet it's needs for the
ensuing months of 1854. However,
he adds, results so far of this new
research and vaccine program far
out pay the money it is costing. 1t
may spell a new day in polio
incidents.
County Chairman Rudy R. Mil
Ter says "an average gift of one
dollar by every family will supply
the 100000 needed now to carry
on the work through the 1856 cam
paign.
Ohio is leading the nation in
1854 polio cases and the Greater
Cleveland Foundation reports a 40
per. cent increase in polio incidents.
Up to Tuesday night the Greater
Cleveland cases for 1854 were
listed at SO. 1t was n at this time
last year
What are we to say to these
youngsters in iron lungs and need
ing therapy?" asks Chairman Mil
ler. "Are we to say to these
twisted body youngsters that there
is no further help unless their par
ents can finance the extraordinary
expenses 2"

In East Cleveland

This particular metropolitan
area is noted for it's many trees
Communities as we'll as individuals
are tree-minded, protecting beau
tiful old trees and planting new
ones to lend beauty in their older
years. Yesterday East Cleveland
was represented at conference
held by the National Shade Tree
Ohio Chapter, William Robertson
and Howard Eller from City Hall
being present. Citizens desiring in
formation about their trees will
find listening ear in either of
these two tree lovers.
Children in the library reading
clubs are not merely putting IL va
cation hours. They are gaining
a background that will give them
information and enjoyment for
years to come.
This column has received a num-
ber of interesting telephone calls
during the past week. One sug-
gests posting sign at Forest
Hills Park Lake advising that any
one who tosses anything into the
lake, be obligated to give certain
number of hours work in cleaning
the lake. Another letter suggests
street cleaning for such violators.
Well it is hardly probable that
either suggestion will become
reality, but some drastic steps may
be necessary to curb the practise
that is bespoiling the city's beauty
spot, Forest Hills Park, lake and
grounds both.
Nothing new in the army's talk
about taking over Forest Hills
Park for q Nike installation. City
Officials have met with the USA
engineers, have recommended a
number of alternate sites and
now await the next Army move.
In the meanwhile East Cleveland
ers hope that an acceptable site
can be located for this important
defense, other than the only park
on this side of town.
With this weeks column, this
corner may be off the front page

about This an That as the hap
penings come and go.
