hampered by lack of proper facili-
ties" he said. "a difficulty soon
to be remedied with the compile
ton of the new "Y" building. Still
the YMCA has influenced the lives
of most of the boys in East Cleve-
land; through Gray, Jr. Hi-Y, and
Hi-Y; summer camping; and the
junior high canteen."
Jim stressed the interest shown
by Kiwanis in all activities for the
good of East Cleveland. He spoke
of the selection of Junior Kiwan-
ians each six weeks from the senior
class at Shaw, and mentioned the
various speakers he had heard dur
ing his term as Junior Kiwanian.
Other organizations mentioned as
doing good work with youth were
the American Legion, Exchange
Club, Rotary Club, and Lions Club.
Also mentioned was the recrea-
tion provided by the city: Shaw
Pool, Shaw and Forest Hills ten
mis- courts, and the many baseball
diamonds throughout the city.
In conclusion Jim said, "instead
of complaining Of what we do not
have, the youth should be thank
full for what we do have. Instead
of expecting everything handed
to them, they should be willing to
give of their own time and effort
to improve East Cleveland for all
of us"

age to meet cleaning and repair
bills, says Mr.. Fraser. Kiwanis
think $4,000 is far too large a
project for the music department
to undertake.
Kiwanis and all East Cleveland
feels that the Shaw band is one
of the outstanding units in the
country, and it is always ready to
represent East Cleveland in a dig
nified manner.
The membership comes from
some 100 homes and it has an ap-
proximately one-third turnover
annually which means a lot of
youn people in the band, young
people deserving of encouragement
and support.
Kiwanis expects to really tackle
the band project late this summer.
1t is confident East Cleveland will
be ready to respond.

the opportunity for free chest
x-ray.
They recorded 1892 x-rays
through Tuesday, leaving 3,S0S to
do by closing date at 100 p. m
this coming Saturday. In these
four days it can be done.
Schedule of the X-ray units for
the balance of the free x-ray pro-
gram is as follows:
EUCLID AT SUPERIOR
Thursday, June 9th, 10:30 a. m.
to 6 p. m.
Friday, June 10th, 10:3o a. m.

to 5 p. m.
Friday, June 10th, 10:30 a. m.
to p. m.
Saturday, June 18th, 9 a. m. to
1 p. m.
During 80 operating hours last
week, 2,453 adults stepped before
the x-ray camera at the rate of "a
per hour. This far exceeds the rate
of x-raying during East Cleve-
lands 1854 chest x-ray survey
when residents visited the x-ray
units at the rate of SO per hour.
On this Tuesday, 421 persons
were x-rayed at the Christmas
Seal x-ray bus located at Euclid
ave. near Taylor I'd. At the second
bus, operating on Euclid ave. at
the Windemere Rapid Transit
entrance, 316 were x-rayed dur
ing four hours of operation.
East Cleveland set a record on
Saturday when in four hours at
Hayden and Mayfair 423 people
were x-rayed. This means better
than los person had the chests
x-rayed each hour.
The best single location for
day was the Hayden-Shaw spot
where 563 people checked their
chests on last Thursday.
The special need of older people
for periodic chest x-ray was
emphasized on Tuesday morning,
when one Of the big, white x-ray
buses visited McGregor Home,
14900 Terrace rd. to x-ray all resi-
dents and personnel.
Response of East Clevelanders
to the chest x-ray service this year
has been wonderful, says Louise
chairman of the local
x-ray committee. "The committee
is now confident that the city's
goal of 1000 chest films will be
far exceeded"
Crowds at the units, no matter
how large, will be handled swiftly
and efficiently. This is the promise
of Mrs. Robert Weis and Mrs.
Emil Douglass, co-chairmen of
volunteers, who have recruited
hundreds of East Cleveland women
as clerks and hostesses at the
units.
Day chairman of volunteers at
each of the respective x-ray loca-
tions includes: Mrs. Maurice
1885 Euclid ave.; Mrs.
L. R. Donovan, 1181 Rozell ave-;
Mrs. Oliver Murphy, 1886 Haldane

East Cleveland Kiwanis is un-
dertaking a big project as their
major 1866 activity. They are out
to raise from $4,000 to $4,000 for
Shaw Band uniforms. Each uni
form averages in price from $85
to $1OO. Included will be the uni
forms for the color guards, drum
major and majorettes.
Commenting on the all-club
project, Kiwanis President Ray
Erickson says that while the uni
forms appear attractive from a
distance, many an item in them
as being held together with a
thread and a prayer" They have
been in service for a decade.
S. Robert Fraser, band director,
comes up with factor few might
realize. The difference in the size
of children today and ten years
ago. There are 80 uniforms on the
shelf, too small for any present
band member.
Another problem, points out Di-
rector Fraser is the anticipated
increase in band enrolment, due
to the excellent music programs
in the elementary schools and the
outstanding work being done at
Kirk Jr. High School by Director
Kenneth Williams.
Under Ohio law, boards of educa-
ton are not permitted to use tax
money for uniforms, Band, choirs,
athletic teams are expected to be

Two BIoodmobiIe
Days Announced

The Red Cross Bloodmobile will
return to East Cleveland for a
two-day visit on June 22nd, 1855
and June 23rd, 1866 at Shaw High
School Gym, 1920 Euclid ave.
The hours for donating will be
/ p. m. to z p. m. on both days.
Former donors will be contacted
by telephone by the Blood Pro-
gram Committee of the Red Cross
East Cleveland Branch. New do
nors are asked to schedule appoint
ments with Mrs. Budd Andrews,
Branch Chairman, GIL. 1929 or
the Red Cross Blood Donor Re-
cruitment Service, SU. 1880.
On the occasion of the last visit
of the bloodmobile to this COM
munity $50 pints were collected.
1t is anticipated that this figure
will be reached each day on this
coming visit, as the need for blood
is constant in the 80 local Cleve-
land Hospitals serviced by the
Cleveland Regional Blood Center.
A steady flow of blood on a regu-
lar collection basis is necessary if
lives are to be saved and suffer-
ing alleviated. This is important
as blood can only be used for
TRANSMISSION purposes for 21-day
period.
East Cleveland PTA groups,
churches and industries were
largely responsible for the last
successful day. They are urgently
requested to again cooperate
with this worthwhile community
activity.
