CENTER NOTES

One more week remains of the
Summer program at Bethlehem
Center before activities are dis
continued until September IL. II
has been a profitable and pleasant
time for all who have shared in it.
There has been something for
everyone who wanted to come, per-
haps not exactly what was want
ed, but some worthwhile project
that could be worked upon. Now
as we look back over the 10 weeks
we see some of the outstanding
events that have been carried on
and participated in by an aggregate
number of 1000 persons. Such
community services as the regular
clinic for children and expectant
mothers and a special clinic for
Polio shots brought in many who
share in no other way in the Cen
ter program. In other activities
most of the participants were the
girls and boys of the neighborhood
Soft ball has had big place in
the attention of the boys and their
coach. Games have been played
at College Park and practice has
gone on at the Holy Ghost School
through the kindness of workers
there. Suits have been given by
a number of merchants and well
wishers in the community and have
I added much to the appearance OF
the team. When soft ball season
closes it will be time for basketball
practice, so the boys will continue
! to have an interest.
Playground, swimming pool anc
game room have had their share
of interest. Each year the city
provides water for the pool anC
the small children who cannot &C
to the park alone get to swim al
the Center. The new paved aret
in the yard adds to the usefulness
of the playground, since it can be
used in all sorts of weather.
Not all of the program has beer
in the area of play. All summer
there have been classes in Bible
| Sewing, Crafts and Ceramics. Or
Friday, August 5, open house wa:
held at which there was an exhibit
of work done by both adults anc
children during the summer months
Dresses, smocks, house coats, pa
jamas and other articles had beer
made by the adults. Numerous
pieces of Ceramics had been done
by both women and young people
and the small children had done
crafts in keeping with their skills
On September IL the Fall season
of activities will begin at the Cen
ter. Kindergarten children who in
tend to attend must register before
that time as a limited number il
taken. Boys, girls and adults, in
terested in any activity can learr
about the program and schedule
by calling any one of the staff o.
Telephone 3-1242. The program 0.
activities is made up in line witt
the expressed interests of those
who register.

the material, for anyone handy
with hammer and saw, is more
simple than the planning.
So let's face 1t: First. get a
few sheets of paper, a pencil and
la tape measure. Find the length
and the width Of the ceiling and
make a drawing Of this area to
scale.
Now draw q line through the
center Of this rectangle vertical

center horizontally. This is nec-

ceiling tile begins at the center

tiles along the edges of the nm

width.
Various Size Tiles
Decide on the size Of tile you
plan to use-they come In IL
by IL inches, IL by l6 inches
and other dimensions. Show on
your scale drawing where each
piece will appear. You can do
this by starting the first course
lengthwise with the room along
the horizontal center line, with
one end of the first tile flush
against the vertical center line.
Unless the ceiling has been
finished before. you'll need
furring strips. These should be

ceiling at right angles to ex-

furring strips must be spaced so
that one side of each tile can
be nailed to them. So II you're

On almost every ceiling tile
job. the tile that goes UP against
the wall must be trimmed to At.
The width Of these border units
should be as nearly equal as
possible on opposite sides of the
room. This is why a careful
drawing and good planning are
necessary to get the Job done
properly.
You can use this same princi-

Forest Hill Park
Out AS Nike Site

The Army will not use Forest
Hills Park as a site for a Nike
installation. Announcement that
city and Army had decided to place
the originally proposed Forest Hill
installation on the lakefront in
Bratenahl brought the following
comment from City Manager Chas.
A. Carran:
"We are happy to learn of the
Army's decision that a site on the
lake would be far more preferable
from a defense standpoint, than
Forest Hill Park.
Because of this decision, East
Cleveland will retain the many
park and recreational facilities it
has enjoyed for so many years"
The 30-acre Bratenahl location
includes the easterly tip of Gordon
Park where barracks will be built.
The control tower will be on the
breakwall at East Both st.
Edgewater Park, another first
announced site, has also been
abandoned for a Lakefront Air
port location.

, Captain Edward Polk and Engineer
Malcolm Douglas, can only hope
for the best but fear the worst.
Weaver, Polk and Douglas are
certain of but one thing. The Rapid
Transit will cause some-if not a
great deal-of commotion on Euclid
ave.-the same avenue that East
Cleveland officials have set up as
a workable example of good traf-
fic movement. East Clevelanders
and out-of-town motorists have
long enjoyed their trip on Euclid
ave.
Proper street markings, syn
chronized traffic signals, proper
enforcement of traffic regulations
all made possible a smooth flow
of traffic.
The Rapid Transit could change
the situation, but quick.
New lane markings on Euclid
ave. and additional traffic signals
in front of Windermere for buses
are more or less experimental.
"We'll have to spend several
days, if not weeks, studying the
traffic movements on Euclid after
the Rapid opens," said Weaver, "to
determine if new street markings
are needed, if a change in traffic
signal timing is necessary and
perhaps change parking habits in
the vicinity of the Rapid Transit
station"

Discount Cut
Equals Boost In
City Light Bill

With January 1, 1856, East
Cleveland will be paying an in
crease of 1920 on its light bill to
the Cleveland Electric Illuminat-
ing Co. The increase comes
through a 500 cut in the six per
cent discount which has been
granted up to that time by CEI
on its three contracts with East
Cleveland.
First of the contracts to carry
the new rate was approved by the
City Commission, the present 6fo
extending to January, 1856 when
the reduced $50 rate becomes ef-
fective.
Through agreement between CEI
and the city and the other two
contracts still in effect, will be
amended to step into line with the
go discount at the January 1856
date.
The Commission enacted legis-
lation consenting to the county's
widening and resurfacing of
Woodwork rd. between East 146th
and East 152nd st. The estimated
$4,000 cost will be shared 50fe
by the county, and 500 by Cleve-
land and East Cleveland, through
which municipalities the road
passes.
Legislation was enacted where
by the city will operate and main
tain the lights on the four Rapid
Transit line bridges, namely the
overheads at Elsinore, Holyoke,
Lake Front and Eddy rd. CTS will
be billed for the charges.
The city purchased four window
air conditioning units of varying
size for use in the finance de-
partment offices at City Hall. The
bid went to international Har-
vester for $733.50. A single unit
to serve the Commission Chamber
(also used as the Municipal Court
was purchased from the Hatten-
bach Co. on it's bid of $2,237. This
unit will be placed in the base
ment under the chamber.

Budgetwiise

An estimated $1,967,6t8 yill 'bC
required in the General Fund to
operate and maintain the East
Cleveland Public Schools in 1855
This compares with the $1,687 ,207
actually spent out of the General
Fund in 1854.
The total salary costs for the
school district, including salaries
of principals, teachers, physicians,
nurses, playground staff, janitors,
maintenance and administration
comes to S1,458,000. In 1854 it
was $1,311, ,671.00.
Supplies take a $105,000 out of
the budget compared to $82,170
last year. Materials for mainten-
ance, equipment, furniture, motor
vehicles and stadium will require
$4,000. An increase of 1900
is set up to pay for the water
proofing at the stadium to be done
this summer.
The sum of $4,000 is set aside
for equipment requirements, a
jump from the $4,000 in 1854, due
to plans for a much needed new
chemistry laboratory, and other
lesser renovations.
Water will cost $4,000, Elec-

cleaning contracts $4,000, Insur-
ance, $4,000; retirement (teach-
ers) $88,290, and other employees
$12,728 while $4,000 is set aside
for emergencies. This is usual
procedure, but often the year pas
ses by without any money being
needed from this fund.
The Bond Retirement Fund is in
excellent condition. Bonds matur-
ing this year equal $$66,000 COM
pared to $4,000 last year with a
complementary cut in interest
from S16,475 to $13,522. Total
bond requirement is $79,772 COM
pared to the $112,60 last year.
The budget is based on renewal
of the usual 8 mill levy which
comes up again in November.
