East Cleveland Community Picnic
trustee personnel. After having
served with the Picnic Commit
tee as trustee since the first
meetings which were held in his
office, David Whale, Grand Old
Man of the Picnic, has resigned.

lesham, also long an active picnic
worker, who has served in many
official capacities down through
the years.
The first picnic plans were
discussed in the office Of the
Whale Coal Co. on Doan ave.. Mr..
Whale had decided ideas on what
a picnic should be, and much of
the success of "a picnic years is
due to his continuing interest.
The first picnics were sponsored
by the Chamber of Commerce,
which flourished here back in 1880.
After its passing from the scene
the East Cleveland Community
picnic came into being. 1t is
now a fully incorporated organiz-
alton having three duly elected

Two longtime employees of the
East Cleveland Board Of Educa-
tion are retiring this June. Miss
Margaret Mccormick and Doug
las W. Vivian.
Miss Mccormick, esteemed men,
Der of the faculty at Kirk Junior
High School is terminating her
teaching career. She has been an
English teacher at Kirk since 1881.
Miss Mccormick has gone to
her home in Owasso, Mich. where
she plans to read and do many
things crowded out by a busy
teaching career.
She prepared for her profession
by graduating from Ypsilanti Nor
NAL School, and by taking work
at both Western Reserve and Col
umbia Universities. She taught in
Owasso before coming, to Cleve-
land where she has resided on Hol-
yoke ave.
Mr.. Vivian concludes a teaching
career spanning 80 years, of
which "a years have been given
to the boys who have attended
Shaw since 1880. "Doc", as he
has been familiarly known, taught
physical education. and coached
swimming, track and football.
He taught his first classes in the
high school from where he was
graduated in Houghton, Mich.
after completing a course at the
Normal School for Physical Edu-
cation at Battle Greek, Mich. Later
he studied at the University of
Wisconsin and Kent State U.
Casting about for an instructor
equipped to introduce physical
education at Salem, Ohio, that
board hired Mr.. Vivian. He did
repeat on this service later in the
Struthers (Ohio) High School. In
between these assignments he
served with the U.S.A. during
World War l, attaining the rank of
lieutenant.
1t was this military experience
which proved to Mr.. Vivian the
worth of military marching. Many
a Shaw boy will recall the really
stiff marching sessions they under
went under "Doc's" direction-and
the letters from many of the boys
later, testified as to their appreci-
alton for having received this
training before they got it as re-
cruits in service.
81 have enjoyed my years at
Shaw, particularly the friendli-
ness of all the folks around Shaw"
said Mr.. Vivian who says his
Shaw memories are among his
treasures.
One of his athletic thrills, he
said, was the day he saw Paul
Yoder, one of his football boys at
Salem High, captain the Carnegie
Tech eleven to a victory over Notre
Dame at Pittsburgh. Yoder, he re-
calls, went on to officiate at the
Rose Bowl and is now with WNBK
here.
Early Friday morning, with his
fellow teachers handing out his
final reports for him, Mr.. Vivian
and his family were off for their
summer home at Skanee, Mich. |

national awards he now holds from
Field and Stream; that 471a Inch |
long Great Northern pike, weigh |
ing 81 pounds, for a fourth place
one year; and that 27h-pounder
for seventh place another season.
Accompanying Mr.. and Mrs. |
Vivian were their daughter, Mrs.
lane Godfrey and daughter, Bar
Oara; and their son, DIR. and Mrs. |
W. Vivian, jr. and son of Hough-
ton, Mich.

There is still value in a penny.
CTS expects to boost its income
100000 a year by that extra pen
ny on a transfer. The lie hike in
school tickets VIII add another
$4,000, and the student pass "up"
another 100000. When Dad pays
the extra transfer penny and the
extra school pass money for a
child or two, he really will have
to sit down and budget.
There are too many unsightly
tree lawns and a few unsightly
vacant lots about town. How about
cleaning them up for better ap-
pearing city, especially. along the
thoroughfares travelled by our visi-
tors these coming summer months,
East Cleveland is one of the few
suburbs to go over it's YMCA goal.
Congra tulations, ye workers and
ye reapers.
There are noises and noises.
some are unavoidable, others are
not.
This week two noise complaints
were phoned in. One concerns the
date who attempts to "ring" his
gals doorbell by furiously sounding
the horn on his car. The other
complaint was against the noisy
motoring wedding parties.
Checking the city's noise ordi-
nance we learned that the City
Fathers deem each of these noises
entirely unnecessary. Indulging in
them is in direct violation of the
ordinance.
Too bad, Tarquins. Their four
some on the TV charade program
last Sunday was edged by the
Mentor Headlands Woman's Civic
Club. The Tarquins: Bob Blythway,
Tom Schaffer, Martha Wagner
and Judy Funk were after that
check for the YMCA Building
Fund-they use the Y for all re-
hearsals. Judy won the gift certi-
ficate for putting over a charade
in the fewest seconds. And, by the
way, one of the song titles which
pricked their bubble was "The
Last Rose of Summer"
We have clipped the following
from a daily newspaper as our
litter chat for today. Misery loves
company.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The
Virginian highway department is
spending about $500,000 a year
cleaning up the beer cans, bottles,
garbage and trash thrown from
cars. Citizens are forming anti
litterbuging socities to combat the
nuisance.
Another news release notes that
gas stations in some communities
have ready trash containers where
in motorists may empty their own
paper bag "waste baskets" while
having the car refueled.
AS a parting comment for to-
days Littler Chat, the next time |
you are at bus stop, take good |
look at the sidewalk in the i'm
mediate vicinity. You'll be sur
prised at what you will observe. J

Never has the initiative and CO.
operative spirit of Twinbrookers
come to light more than in the
organiZational efforts of the rec
reation program that is going on
now in the area north of VieEs
Mill Road. The movement was
actually started last year by a
few mothers to take care of their
pre-schoolers. By this spring
however, everyone realized the
playground located near Halpine
Road was too inconvenient for
the north area children.
The February 10 meeting of the
25 or more fathers in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Dydak
really started the ball rolling
Sam Snyder, (our own from Mid
way Avenue) was there and
showed a movie of the Parkside
playground which he designed
and built. The playground will
probably be patterned along this
functional line. Mr.. Joseph Gee
reart was there, and not only do.
mated the 5h-acre tract at the
end of Gladstone Drive, but said
he would act as purchasing agent.
The group has consulted the
County Architect, and will get to.
gether soon with the Mayor. AT
the present time the treasury is
empty but donations have al.
ready been promised. Each fam.
lily may be called on for contri-
button this first year.
With all this initiative and the
plain hard work that has already
gone into this project, we will
soon be seeing equipment going
up over there at the end of Glad
stone Drive, and the children can
look forward to a full summer of
play without the hazard of cross
ing Viers Mill Road to the south
playground.

last week from the latter's ia

Weekend guests in the Peter
Massaro home on Halsey Road
were his nephews, Thomas Mas
saro, and Thomas Richard Mas
saro, and Mrs. Massaro, all of
Patterson, N. J.
If any other street was hum
ming more than Atlantic Avenue
last Tuesday evening, it hasn't
been called to our attention. Two
circles of the Women's Guild of
the Lutheran Church held their
monthly meetings there. The Es-
ter Circle met with Mrs. Frank
Patton, and the Mary and Mar
tina Circle with Mrs. David
Hughes.
Mesdames A. M. Proctor, Har-
ry Kenner, and Dom Capretti,
were hostesses in the latter's
home honoring Mrs. John Gavin,
of Ridgeway Avenue, with a lay
cite shower. The Valentine theme
predominated in the decorations.
Two large hearts formed a back
ground for the red and white
basket which held the many gifts.
The neighbors who gathered
had chosen to shower the mo-
Their with personal gifts, rather
than the expected baby.
Mrs. Julian Sante entertained
her bridge club. This group meets
monthly and is made up of her
former school mates from Mary
land University. Mrs. Legion Dud-
ley, also of Atlantic, was an addi-
tional guest for the evenings
games.

on Broadwood Drive.
Mrs. Julian Sante, president,
presented Mesdames Legion Dud-
ley and Francis Bowen, who gave
the lesson of the evening. 1t was
a discussion of meals for the
Thick and the Thin" Particular
stress was placed on the. need for
daily consumption of the seven
basic foods, even by the reducer.
1t was also brought out how the
ordinary family meal can be
adapted to the needs of the re-
Queer, as well as the person who
needs to gain weight.
Several toys were turned in as
the club is due to furnish toys for
Childrens Hospital in March.
Club 1 met the same evening
with Mrs. Peter Massaro on Hal
sey Road. Co-hostesses were Mes
danes Durant Burton and Will
liam Dossey.
The demonstration also on
Meals for the Thick and Thin"
was given by Mrs. Claud Cross. A
full days menu had been pre-
pared to illustrate how easily the
family meal can be adapted to
the reducer and the gamer. Par
ticular emphasis was placed on
the importance of consulting a
doctor before dieting.
During the social hour a white
elephant sale was held, with Mrs
Joe Wilson acting as auctioneer.
Proceeds go to the clubs general
treasury.
Members of the Boys Club are
reminded there will be no more

however, a few more scheduled
Sunday games before the end of

Twinbrook Parents Join Forces
In Recreation Area Plans;
5h Acre Tract Given by Builder

The February Is Citizens Asso-
citation meeting certainly made
front-page headlines. However,
we would like to make an add-to
mention of the Identification
Committee which was introduced,
Mr.. Lawrence Barnes, of NimitZ
Avenue, is chairman. Not only
has he had training in landscape
engineering, but is said to have a
very green thumb. Others are Mr..
Joseph Wilson, and Mesdames
Donald Roush and David Korb,
all of whom are well known for
their landscaping.
The committee will work close
ly with representatives of the
school, where a Identification
progrom is already in progress.
Mrs. Reese, 4th grade teacher,
will represent the faculty, with
Barbara Duquette, Nudge Hunt,
Larry Pflueger, and George
Waleski serving for the student
body.
It's impossible to go near the
schoolhouse without omin &
away loaded with news. 1t is such
busy place. The thing that is
always most impressive is the
strong feeling the pupils have
that it is THEIR school. We had
barely entered the door the other
day when a little boy began TAX
ing us on a sightseeing tour.
Our business took us only mid
way of the building, but in that
time we had seen a End grade
class taking advantage of the
beautiful weather to learn team
work in outside play; had seen a
Safeway store in another End
grade room; had peered in at
Mighty Mouse and his companion
in their cages; and had learned
of the Thailand visitor who was
visiting under the auspices of the
County tuberculosis Association.
We had also seen the display of
the COW, hamster, and human
teeth which showed what tooth
decay can do. On a quick peek in
to the Library we saw the titles
of such magazines as Jack and
Jill, Wee Wisdom, National Geo.
graphic, and Readers Digest-all
at the disposal of the students.
And all this in about 5 minutes
time.

with the Navy. They have one
little boy Patrick, who is a years
of age. Mrs. Devine thought ia

rents from Lynchburg, Va. The
trip was made especially to cele-
brate the delayed Valentines Day
birthday of Richard, who was Z
years old.
We would also like to make
mention of another Valentine
Day birthday - that of Arthur
Korb. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Korb of Denfield Rd.,
and had his birthday party on
Monday, February Is.
Mrs. VIM. HerZstock has writ
ten her former neighbor on Ar

very much. Little BilI' is now 2
years old.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Cannon
