! Of the Greater Cleveland Council
Mr.. Braden was the speaker at Dis
trict Seven annual meeting Monday
night in Hope Lutheran Church, East
Cleveland being in this district. The
meeting is one of twelve being held
in this area for the purpose of or
ganizing the accelerating program
OF scouting in 1856.
Mr.. Braden stated that Scouting
in Cleveland has become big Busi-
ness" and it is therefore necessary
that more people participate in the
program. He also pointed out the
value of a place IN scouting for
every interested man and woman
because "the job of scouting is the
job of bringing up boys in this
community"
Scouting, he said, ais a CO.
operative effort with the Home, the
Church, the School and the Com
munity taking part. He pointed out
the need for men who are not only
interested in boys, but who are in
teresting to boys regardless of
vocation or avocation, there is a
place in scouting for every man
who wants to work with boys"
District Seven now becomes in
effect, small council, since it will
have an executive committee, a dis
trict chairman, and six operating
committees of the same name as
those Of the Council. Thus District
Seven will be represented in all
phases of scouting in Cuyahoga
Council.
New district chairmen, II in all,
become members of the Councils
Executive Board. The new District
7 Chairman is George Voinovich,
17018 Endora rd., NE. The new
District Vice Chairman is Hamilton
Beatty, 1928 Terrace rd.
Mr.. Voinovich will be District Z
delegate to the Councils executive
board.
Re appointed Commissioner Of
District z is John Andree, 925 Bev-
erly rd. Elected members-at-large
of the district are Eugene Frank
and c. G. Kinley.
Some interesting figures about
boys were given by Mr.. Braden.
The boy population, ages 8 to Is,
in this county in 1850 was 91,S4S.
Today, at the close of 1866, it is
125,649. By 1860, according to the
report, the county's boy population
will reach 170,505 for boys in this
SIG age bracket.
In other words, the boy population
for scouting will increase go in the
next five years offering a challenge
if Scouting is to keep pace with this
oncoming march of boys.
In closing, Mr.. Braden congratu-
lated the leaders of District 7 on
the outstanding work being done,
and challenged them to re-double
their efforts in behalf of the in
creasing number of boys in this
locality.

NeId Park
Lights On
Saturday

The 1855 edition of General
Electric's annual outdoor lighted
Christmas display at Nela Park
will be turned on for the holiday
season beginning Saturday, De-
cember 10th, it was announced
here today.
This years spectacle, the 22nd
since 1926, will be open for pub
lie inspection through December
31st from 6 p. m. until midnight
daily except on Saturdays and Sun
days when it will glows one hour
earlier.
Outstanding new touches added
to the annual display are illusion
of motion and elapse of time
effects incorporated in each of
several large illuminated outdoor
greeting cards. The all-over effect
is expected to be that of a giant
quarter -mile-long iridescent Christ
mas greeting card. Some of the
individual "cards" will appear, dis
appear, then re-appear as if by
magic. Light, in the role of scene
painter, will play the leading part
in shifting" the various scenes.
Child appeal will again feature
the lighted decorations.
1t is planned to set aside, Sun
day, January 1st, exclusively for
amateur photographers who are
interested in taking black-and-
white and color pictures of the
display.
A record number of holiday
visitors, well in excess of 100000,
is expected to be attracted to this
years spectacle at Nela Park. For
the convenience of motorists, it
is again requested that they ap-
proach the spectacle by turning
south from Euclid ave. onto Nela
ave., one block east of Noble I'd.
Called christmas Cards in
Light" the mammoth Yule display,
sounds this motif in the first scene
which will glow from the roof of
the Nela Entrance Lodge. The
second greeting card scene will
occupy Nela Parks lower hillside.
The third card, most spectacular
perhaps of all, will appear in front
Of the wide Application Engineer
ing building on the upper hillside.
There, two-dimensional stylized
Christmas tree, 55 feet high and a
toy train greeting card will vie
for attention. Novel use of abstract
forms is introduced in other cards
which come into view along the
way. A fascinating snow storm,
Santa's travels both by day and
night, a boys church choir, a
miniature village, and a colorful
Happy New Year" farewell are
created through adroit use of lamps
and lighting.
Those responsible for the design
of this years lighted decorations
at the home office headquarters
Of G-E Lamp Division are Robert
T. Dorsey and John e. Flynn of
the Application Engineering Sec
tion at Nela Park. Supervisor of
construction and installation is
Richard H. Woods of the same
section.

"This is our gift to the COM

TO see at the concert is in the clos
ing Hallelujah Chorus when alumni
from the audience step to the plat
form to join today's Shaw singers
in the song.
A gift should be graciously ac-
cepted. Shaw auditorium should be
packed next Thursday.
Speaking of Christmas and music
which go hand in hand since the
angels proclaimed the first Christ
mas, there are several excellent
musical programs being announced
here. One should plan to hear at
lease one of them. There's nothing
like the singing of Christmas songs
to give that Christmassy spirit.
Having grown too large for the
ward, an evergreen hewn down at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Martaus is ending its days in a
blaze of glory. The evergreen is
gracing the front lawn at City Hall.
II has been decorated with more
than usual care by members of the
East Cleveland Fire Department,
of which "Ted" is member. Ger
tainly a beautiful gift to ease
the hurt of having to cut down a
good tree.

their new neighbor home-owners,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Barchman. The
Barchmans have purchased a home

from Cleveland. Within the past
few months Mr.. Barchman opened
an upholstery shop at 1923 Hayden

Neighbors have informed Mrs.

is Just another sample of the
