7. B. Workers
Keep Eye On
Seal Sales

Traditional tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals were mailed to the
homes Of East Cleveland this week
as the Anti tuberculosis League
opened its annual campaign for
funds to combat TB.
The local delivery was a part
of a mailing of 100000 Christmas
Seal appeal letters into homes
throughout Greater Cleveland and
Cuyahoga County.
Design of the Seals this year is
unusual. For the first time, they
are twins. Each sheet contains
so red seals and so green ones,
with the colors alternating across
the sheet to form a dramatic and
attractive pattern in the traditional
colors of Christmas.
christmas Seals will add color
full touch to every piece of holiday
mail and Christmas package" +"
says Herbert E. Zdara,, president
of the nti-Tuberculosis League.
"Yet their great value lies in the
work that they do"
Everyone is familiar with the
Christmas Seal x-ray buses and
with their year-around free chest
x-ray program in home neighbor-
hoods, schools and industries
throughout the country" he says.
"By finding the unknown sick
and helping them to ge we'll, this
program protects you and me and
all of us from further spread of
tuberculous infection"
Christmas Seal x-ray units took
1850 chest films in East Cleve-
land this year, Zdra points out.
"Our fight against tuberculosis
is winning one," he says. deaths
from the disease in this county
have been cut in half in the past
five years."

slogan must be No home is safe
until all homes are safe"
Continuation and possible expan-
sion of the free chest x-ray pro-
gram will depend, in large meas
ure, upon the success of the 1854
Christmas Seal Sale, Zdra says.
Watching the progress of the
Christmas Seal campaign with
eager interest this year will be DR..

ceived a special gift from Claude
Foster, Cleveland philanthropist,
who, as young boy, roamed the
area to be served by that building.
Construction is already underway
at Parma.
A committee from each of the
three Us in this project will meet
with the YMCA National Council
of Architects to study the space
plans to fit each buildings re-
spective program. The National
Council of Architects will also
serve as consultants to the archi-
tects and contractors chosen for
the job.
Original plans for these build
ings do not include swimming
pools or gymnasiums. However,
the East Cleveland building plan
is to be so engineered that these
facilities may be added at some
future time.
Bedford's building, it is an
nounced, will include a swimming
pool and a gymnasium. They are
being made possible through a
gift from the Jack and Heitz Co.,
formerly of Bedford, made several
years ago. The structures esti-
mated cost is about $24O, 900 COM
pared to the basic $155, 800 for
East Cleveland and Hillcrest, minus
these facilities.
The East Cleveland Y now uses
Shaw High School pool and gym.
Building plans call for admins
tration offices in the center,
near the main entrance. To the
left will be a lounge and club
rooms. To the right will be a large
all-purpose room, and back of it
will be kitchen and a club room.
Yet to be decided is the exact
location of the new building on
the site. On this decision will de-
pend either the razing of the pres
ent converted dwelling prior to the
start of the construction, or it's
use until the new quarters are
available.
The city-wide building campaign
marked the Tooth year for the
Greater Cleveland YMCA. The
East Cleveland Branch is 33 years
old. It's executive secretary is
W. V. Cumler.

At the November 4th meeting of

In counting our blessings this

remember that we live in the best
nation on the face of the earth,
in a nation where the dignity of
man is still paramount, where a
mans home is his castle, where
one may worship God as his con-
, science dictates, and cast his own
ballot choice in the selection of
those he prefers to serve him in
government. 1t is well to recall
these facts now and then.
The welcome mat has been out
at Shaw these past few days. Fac
ulty and students have greeted

mer chairman, who Is an In
dianapolis banker.
Mr.. Mitchell said he thinks
the thwarted attempt to keep
Mr.. Truman's picture out of to-
nights printed program also was
intended to emphasize the con-
trast.
Mr.. Truman wrote Mr. Mitchell
a letter publicized here yesterday
in which the former President
said that President Eisenhower
needs a Democratic Congress to
"go down in history as a sue
cessful President who helped
save the free world"
The Truman argument was
that Republicans in Congress
would not support the Eisen-
hover foreign policies of cooper
ating with friendly nations and
only a Democratic Congress
could assure such result.
Mr.. Mitchell said he agreed
fully with this thesis and there
was no indication that Mr.. Tru-
man himself had any knowledge
of what Democrats generally re-
garded as primarily a local fight
between dissident Democratic
leaders.
The Democrats, despite the
control squabble, were able to
muster an outward optimism that
was not matched by members OF
the Republican National Com
mittee at their recent session in
| Cincinnati.
