First Meeting Of
New Great Books
Group On Tuesday

Elizabeth Bowen writing in the
current Vogue says what devotees
of the Great Books Program would
like to echo: "Certain books come
to meet one, as do people. They
speak out to one, they enlarge
one"
"The wish to keep up with what's
written today is spontaneous, So
ciable, human. Ancient books fruc-
tify whatever is newer. A thought
to live by may come from a pen laid
down thousands of years ago. And
nothing one reads deeply has ever
gone"
All this is true of the books,
whether new or old, which are
read and talked about by the Great
Books Groups, says Miss Sarah
Miller, librarian, in announcing
the opportunity offered at the
East Cleveland Library to share
in this sense of enlargement of
which Miss Bowen speaks. It's
the Great Books membership.
"This is the place for those
recently out of college. especially
young married couples, to do
sort of graduate work, acquire
learning in a way that gives it
a more immediate application and
deeper reality than is likely to
be experienced in more formal
college courses" say Miss Miller
The first year group holds it's
initial meeting on Tuesday eve
ming, October 4th.
The leaders are Gerhard L.
Hollander and Mrs. Nancy Wild.
Other leaders are:
Second Year-Mr. and Mrs. G.
K. Brewin.
Fourth Year-James l. Huston,
Mrs. Janet T. Waidelich.
Fifth Year-Elias Jones, Mrs.
Zelda Stutz.
Tenth Year-Mr. and Mrs. AL
len X. Gaetjens, Mr.. and Mrs. DON
aid E. Helmuth, and other men,
bers of the group in turn.

New In Town?
Feeling Lonely?
Join This Group

Are you a new arrival in the
community?
Do you feel bit lonesome or a
little strange" in a new setting :?
The YWCA has found the
answers to these questions in the
formation of a Newcomers Club.
An organization meeting of the
group will be held at the YWCA,
East Cleveland Center, 1853 Eu-
cid ave., at 1:30 p. m. Monday,
October 3rd, under the leadership
Of Mrs. E. j. Tauch.
This is to include all new
neighbors in the communities of
East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights,
Lyndhurst and South Euclid. A
"new-neighbor" is interpreted to
mean anyone who has lived here
less than two years.
The program of the club will
vary with the interests of the
members. Facts about the COM
munity will be blended with
chance to make a friend, chat or
play bridge-canasta, too. Chan
nels of interest into phases of
community living will be planned.
AS the YWCA say. "Why be
lonely? Join the East Side New
comers Club. Call UL. 1920 for
the facts"

HuxeII Heads
All Area NC
AAA Defenses

Monday evening, September 18th
was one of mixed feelings for 1t.
Col. George F. Huxel.
For the past five years he
has been the commanding Of
ficer of the 179th AAA Battalion
of the Ohio National Guard. In
1861 when the unit was formed he
stood before six officers and six
teen enlisted men for the first drill
meeting. When he turned over the
unit to Major Frank Graves, the
new battalion commander, it had
almost two hundred men and
twenty-seven officers, and has been
rated as one of the best anti-air-
craft battalions in the state.
But as it is with all who COM
plete a job we'll, there is a bigger
job for Col Huxel. He is now in
command of a new anti-aircraft
group headquarters. Designated as
the 191st AAA Group, the new
unit will control and direct all of
the National Guard Anti-Aircraft
defense in the Greater Cleveland
area.
1t will include the 10th
Battalion and two new battallons
vet to be formed. Although the
headquarters for the group and for
the 10th are now at 2101 East
30th ST., plans call for individual
armories to be built in and around
Cleveland. In all, there will be
twelve.
1t. Col. Huxel who is Assistant
Principal and Athletic Director at
w. H. Kirk Jr. High School, has
been active in military life since he
first entered the service in the
summer of 1941. He has risen
through the ranks from private
then, to 1t. Colonel now so he is
we'll qualified to say that. aside
from the primary consideration
that every young man has patri-
otic obligation to his country,
never before has the National
Guard offered such opportunities
for training, promotions, and added
income"
Officers of the 191st Group will
be happy to answer questions on
qualifications for enlistment to all
interested young men and their
parents. Enlistments are open for
men from the ages of IL through
"a and up to 55 with prior service.
Of interest is the fact that men en-
listing before the age of 1872 are
eligible for draft deferrment under
present law.
The Group Headquarters, tempo
rarily located at 2101 East 3Oth
ST., is open from 9 a. m. to $3.50
o. m, Monday through Saturday.
The telephone is UT. 1-4121.
Veterans with experience in ad-
ministration, supply, and communi-
cations are especially urged to
contact the Group to find out the
advantages Of belonging to the
National Guard.

Blough And Myers Serve On
Important Nation-W Wide
Educational Committees

Two East Cleveland schoolmen
who have been honored by ap-
pointment to high advisory posi-
tions in national and state educa-
tional organizations are busy with
duties of their committees. They
are Wayne c. Blough, principal
at Shaw High School, and DIR.
L. L. Myers, principal Of W. H..
Kirk Jr. High School. Stories of
the appointments were carried in
this paper at the time of the
appointments.
Mr.. Blough, was elected in
March to be one of the two high
school principals on the seven
member Administrative Commit
tee of the Commission on Second
ary Schools. This in turn is one
of the three large divisions of the
North Central Association, a 49,
state organization stretching from
Arizona to Ohio and enrolling 379
colleges and 3277 high schools in
its membership.
One Of the main functions of
this huge joint organization is
to tie in the standards of high
school teaching with the stand
ards and curriculums of colleges,
SO that if the East Cleveland
School Board for example says,
"This boy or this girl is entitled
to diploma from Shaw High
School," they can present their
credits to the University of Chi
cago or Michigan at full value, and
stand a good chance of getting in.
Mr.. Blough's group is meeting
in Boulder, Colorado, starting with
