No Gang War
Her" (: Weaver

"There will be no gang war in
East Cleveland. We will not toler-
ate it."
This is the ultimatum handed
down by Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver after police on Friday eve-
ming, April 22nd, nipped in the
bud planned meeting of opposing
forces from this city and the Col
linwood area. Instead the East
Cleveland % boys suddenly found
themselves in police court, and
were further surprised when their
parents began walking in. The
adults had been summoned quickly
by police.
In the meanwhile, working on
the same tip, Cleveland police
rounded up the Collinwood gang.
AS a result IL Of these teen ayers
are slated to appear in Juvenile
Court May 9th.
All the East Cleveland boys
were released to the custody of
their parents after being warned
that a second offence of what
ever nature, would bring a Juven-
lie Court filing.
School authorities, furnished the
list of the boys, have also inter-
viewed them, reports Shaw Prin-
cipal, Wayne c. Blough.
AS a result of the incident,
which was finished before it
began, due to tips, Chief of
Police Weaver offers this advise
to parents of all growing girls and
boys: Know where your children
are, what they are doing, with
whom they associate, and require
them to be at home at a reason

other weapons were confiscated
by police.
Why tbs particular gangbattle?
It's the age old answer-a girl.
The purported leader of the gang
is an 1S-year old who is said to
have never attended Shaw High
School and does not reside in the
Collinwood area.

turning to school at a later day
this week have received the vac
cine at one of the other schools.
For the absentees who, because of
illness, missed this weeks sched-
ule entirely, it is planned to have
one day - to be announced at

given to them. After that the re-
sponsibility of having their child

the parents, it is stated.
With but few exceptions, the
children received the vaccine as
another event of their young lives.
A few children were i'll for a
brief time following the inoccula-
tion, possibly due to fright. School
dispensaries were ready to care for
any i'll children.
Huron Road Hospital is cooper
ating in the East Cleveland immu-
nization program by supplying and
sterilizing all needles and syringes
used during the process. These
items were returned to the hospi-

There will be less fear in the
hearts of the parents of 1,416 East
Cleveland children when the polio
season begins its dreaded start
this summer. This is the number Of
First and Second Graders sched-
uled to receive the Salk anti-polio
vaccine this week in the East
Cleveland immunization program
which got underway Tuesday morn
ing.
Starting at 900 a. m. in Chamb-
ers School, where 268 children
were given the vaccine, the first
days scheduling concluded at
Prospect School at 1915 a. m,
where 1873 children were inoccu-
lated. There were 10 consent abb
sentees at Chambers and five alb
sentees at Prospect School.
Each child receiving the vaccine
Is being given copy of notation
addressed to the parents from DR..
Winkler. 1t reads as follows:
"Your child received the first
injection of the Poliomyelitis Vac
cine series today. 1t is not ex-
pected that any unusual reaction
should occur other than a slight
temperature or a sore arm. If any
questions arise, contact your pri-
vate physician. The second in
lection will be given three weeks
from today.
The third or final injection
should be given in seven to ten
months. This will not be given
through the school programs. 1t
will be necessary for you to con-
tact your private physician for
this injection so that your child
will have completed the series and
will receive the greatest protec-
ton"

When Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver and his men say mo"
they mean it, as anyone who has
Overstepped well knows. The Chief
says "No gang wars in East Cleve-
land" A word to the wise should
be sufficient.
When you join up for the Green
Cross, do it in Our Town which
then can keep fifty cents of every
dollar. The money helps keep the
safety educational program going,
and means equipment for school
pupil patrols. All police officers
and Fred Henderson, have mem
bership cards.
It's good to have an increased
building program, but it is re-
freshing to seen a breathing space
here and there about town, even
though small, minus a building.
But cities grow, land becomes
scarce, and progress demands room
to expand.
Well, one vacant lot at least
has been given much needed at
tention, thanks to the cooperation
of the owner in the city's clean
up program. Next?
The way you drive your car is
a good index of your personality.
The unselfish person will give way
to another car, stay in his own
lane, make turns from the proper
poH zion, and signal his intentions.
Check your own driving and see
if it doesn't tell something about

The two stage attractions at
Kirk jr. High School recently prove
one thing: Talent is plentiful here
abouts. The Minstrel Jive of 55
by Kirk faculty and PTA played to
a sell-out house, and many of the
teenagers in the audience thrilled
to their first old-time minstrel.
The cast had a grand time, so
naturally, the audience did, too.
Then came the two-night stand
of the East Cleveland Lyric Guilds
"Three Musketeers," a rollicking
song show set against a color
full back ground and done by a
cast near-professional. 1t was

Deny Parking
Dry Cleaning
Zone Appeals

Of the eight cases to come
before the Thursday, April 21st
zoning session at City Hall, three
and a portion Of a fourth appeal
were approved; two were denied
and two were continued.
Denied was the appeal of the
Penn Sanitary Laundry and Dry
Cleaning, Inc, to- erect building
at 1903 Euclid ave. to be occupied
by its own business and florist
shop. The request brought up two
points against the appeal. Present
zoning lists this type of business
for a light manufacturing (U4)
zone while the site desired is in a
retail CUB zone. Furthermore the
property owners did not want a
dry cleaning business nor a
laundry in their neighborhood.
Denied also was the appeal of
The Economy Buick Co. to place
a public-employee parking lot for
customers and employees of the
company on two lots on Hover
ave.
While appreciating the need for
off-street parking, the request
was not permitted, since, here
again, the site and type of busi-
ness did not go together. Park
ink lots in conjunction with a
business are only permitted in a
retail zone. The desired lot is zoned
for residential use only.
Neighboring property owners
opposed the appeal.
Approved was the appeal of the
Grant Builders Inc. to erect four
suite apartments on each of three
Coventry I'd. lots. Plans are similar
to their one apartment erection
granted the previous week.
One of the two outdoor phone
booths requested by the Ohio Bell
Telephone Co. was granted, one
denied. Granted is a booth at the
City Parking lot, Hawley Park.
Denied was a booth to be set up
in the island at the intersection
of Phillips ave and Hayden ave-,
in Pattison Park.
Granted was transfer of a ROOM
ing house license to Thomas E.
Launders, from Rose and Raymond
Gnuschke, 1923 Alvason rd.
Continued was the appeal of
Mrs. A. Nowarskas for authority
to locate a tavern at 1868 East
152nd st. (at Coit) in accordance
with requirements of the State
of Ohio DE- and CO licenses. Many
neighboring property owners were
present to object to the appeal on
grounds of bringing undesirable
people into the area, and causing
traffic problem.
Continued was the request of
Joseph Ostro to construct two
story building with exterior
on the lot line at 1540 E9uclid
ave. AS a safety measure the
code prohibits windows in such
walls. However, the line abuts
private drive to Richmond place,
eliminating the usual fire hazard.
Neighbors expressed the desire to
know more about the plans and
the case was slated for future
hearing.

Buying tickets for an evening
Of entertainment was never easier
than it is for this next Thursday.
In the first place, every grade
school child who plans to go ac-
companied by an adult gets free
ticket at school; and adults can
buy their 75c tickets either at the
door or from one of the partici-
pating Shaw students. Incidentally,
the instrumental people and the
vocal people try to outsell each
others. This year its the boys
against the girls in the race for
ticket selling honors. There is hint
Of a dinner for the victors.
Leading off the evening Of
melody and harmony will be the
Shaw Orchestra. Selections from
Rodgers and Hammerstein's "State
Fair" will be followed by a sue
cession of dances numbers; Mehl-
er's "Three Swedish Folk Dances"
and four "Rumanian Gypsy
Dances" arranged by Wilson, and
a Russian Sailors Dance" from
''The Red Poppy" by George
Gliere.
The Shaw Choir will sparkle
both musically and visually. They
will be wearing new surplices and
stoles of satin, in the school colors
of red and black. The purchase
was made possible by just such
events as the one they will be
appearing in next week. Their
numbers include two Russian folk
songs, "Wake, Awake" by Nicholai
and Lullaby" by Liadoff: Irving
Berlin's Count Your Blessings"
arranged by Ringwald; the Negro
spiritual Didn't Ny Lord Deliver
Daniel?" arranged by Smith;
Frank Loesser's "Once In Love
With Amy; Pat Billiards. "Mister
Sandman" arranged by Simeone;
and second Simeone arrangement,
the Russian gypsy ballad Ozark
Eyes" Then there is also the pre-
viously mentioned "Medley-1955"
by Shaw students, which will
mean more to the audience the
more they are sup" on their radio
and television commercials.
Then comes the Band; and every
East Clevelander knows the thrill
whenever it starts playing. They
lead off with the Band of
America" March," by Lavalle. This
is to be followed by Dukas' anus
ing 'Sorcerer's Apprentice" based
on a German legend by Goethe.
Children may recognize this as
having been the accompaniment of
one of the Mickey Mouse numbers
in Fantasia" some years ago.
Next come American Red Cross
March" by PAMELA, and "Estrel-
lita" by Ponce; followed by two
descriptive pieces, Victor Herbert's
immortal March of the Toys"
from "Babes in Toyland," and
Leroy Anderson's "Sandpaper Bal
let," which is guaranteed to send
shivers down some spines.
The evenings finale will be a
joint number by the Choir and
Band, A. H. Mallotte's moving in
depreciation of The Lords Prayer.
