a lonely uCtle girl.
The neighbors knew how bad
things were, but didn't want to
interfere.
They decided they must do
something, however, the day
Kitty went to a neighborhood
store to ask for something to eat.
She hadn't had a really good
meal for several days.
Kitty. who is 10, was placed in
a home for children until future
plans could be made for her.
No Relatives Visit
She has been there almost a
year. and has never had a rela-
tive visit her.
Kitty is the kind of unhappy
little girl whose unhappiness
drives others from her. She
makes a nuisance of, herself to
get attention. She feels she's
not wanted in the building where
she lives-just as she has not
been wanted before.
Camp isn't always good for an
unhappy child. But those who
know her think it may help
Kitty.
The groups will be smaller
there. This may give her q sense
Of security.
The rich program will be a
new experience. too. for a little
girl whose life has been a
vacuum.
Something to Anticipate
And perhaps best of all, it will
be something for Kitty to look
forward to. Now she has nothing.
Her future is uncertain, and,
based on her past. she can't be-
lieve it will be bright.
She can't even look forward to
visiting time, because she knows
by this time that no one will
come.
Kitty badly needs everything
camp can give her.

Bonnie Faye Myers, 3, niece
of Mary Elizabeth. reached up
that day in her home in Laurel
and turned a pot of scalding
water over her face about the
time the Fellers were settling in
their new home.
According to the family, the
two girls had planned to visit
the baby the night of June / at
Prince Georges General Hospital.
They never made it.
The other day, at the North
Laurel home, Bonnie Faye was

claLlOnS last night were Sharply
critical of the councils plan to
increase school teachers pay by
6 per cent across the board.
School Supt. Forbes H. Norris
said the increase, which would
provide a starting salary of 3d.
604 for degree holders, would
not be sufficient to put the coun-
ty in a good competitive position
in hiring new teachers.
CIaxton Joins Criticism
Philander Claxton, spokesman
for the County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations,
scored the proposed increase as
inadequate" and said that al
though it would compare with
Prince Georges County'S scale,
it would be below all others in
the area.
The council has provided funds
for an average hiring salary Of
more thar $4,000 for teachers.
He also scored the councils
action as making a ''mockery''
of the hearing on the school
budget when some 70 persons
spoke in opposition to County
Manager M. L. Reese's proposed
A per cent salary increase. The
school board had requested a
$1,000 starting salary.
The council also was urged
by Mr.. Claxton, Robert Hacken
of the Allied Civic Group and
school officials, to provide for
an equal percentage raise for
school principals and supervi-
sors. The council provided only
for a 4 per cent increase for
these groups.
Building Economies
Mr.. Claxton said he hoped the
school board would find funds
for the full salary schedule it
had requested.

called Widows Mite, and later
James His Park.

died during Napoleon'S re-

He changed it to Kalorama

This Is Where

Helps Himself

How important is that word
east" in the name of East Cleve-
land. Mighty important when it
comes to the money the state turns
back to the cities for street main
tenance.
Distribution of monies received
from auto license plates sale is
shared by the communities and the
taxing districts in the state. 1t is
based on the number of licenses
issued to each taxing district, and
only by listing the name of the
towns can this share be determined.
That is why it must be EAST
Cleveland when East Clevelanders
make out their license applications.
Every cent counts towards all re-
pair work on pavements, street
cleaning, snow removal, traffic
signals, school traffic guards.
Important, Yes stree. Write it
EAST Cleveland. Thanks, million.
Oh, yes, you can get your auto
tags at 1906 Euclid ave. between
$3.50 and 500 weekdays. Truck ap-
plications must be made at the
County Auditors office. The rule
also applies to tags received
through AAA.

How better to make new friends
than during a kitchen talk. Every
woman, who enjoys baking and
cooking, enjoys exchanging ideas
and recipes. In this picture, taken
at the East Cleveland YWCA
Center, members of the Newcomers
Club had fine time trying their
own hand at decorating a cake
after Mrs. Helen Robertson (shown
demonstrating), had defly turned
out masterpiece in cake decorat-
ing.
The women's attempts were made
over imitation paper cakes, which
was a fine idea since no delicious
baked cake was then given undue
handling and the "goo" could be
scraped off and a new attempt
made.
The Newcomers, women new to
East Cleveland, are getting ac-
quainted with each other and their
new community through this club,
sponsored by the WV.
Every woman new to East Cleve-
land will find a welcome.

Church Honors Its
55-Year Member

At the 1856 annual meeting of
East Cleveland Congregational
Church a provision was placed in
the Constitution whereby the
Church Board could recommend
for honorary membership persons
of long and devoted service to
the congregation.
The first person so to be hon
ored is Mrs. Edward Arm, I'LL
Lakefront ave., whose active
church life began October 9Th,
1894 as a teacher in the Sunday
School of Lakeview Congregational
Church, East Cleveland. Mrs. Arm
holds the unique record of almost
Sc years membership in this con-
gregation but, through mergers,
in three churches each under a
different name.
In 1902 Lakeview built a church
at Lockwood and Euclid ave. and
changed its name to Calvary, since
"Lakeview" was associated with
the neighborhood in which it origi-
mated. Soon, Park Congrega-
tional Knocked at Calvary's door
and was admitted, the two con-
gregations taking the name of
Mayflower for even stronger unity.
Mayflower then merged with East
to become East Congregational
Church, Euclid and Page aves.
Through all these changes, Mrs.
Arm continued to teach in the
school for 35 years. She has served
as adult advisor to youth groups,
in the woman's circles. Her life
membership on the Board of
Deaconesses now carries the title
of Honorary Deaconess.
Since the church teaches the
brotherhood Of man, the commu-
nifty has gained from Mrs. Arms
services. During World War l and
II she was Production Chairman of
East Cleveland Branch Red Cross.
She helped found the Y Mothers
at the East Cleveland YMCA; and
the Blue Star Mothers Club, both
Of which she has served as presi-
dent. She has been on the board
of East Cleveland Woman's Club
and has long been a member of
East Cleveland Community Coun-
Gil.
Mrs. Arm has two sons, Edward
of Philadelphia, and John of East
Cleveland. Her husband died in
1949.

Shaw PTA AIerts Parent Pupil On
Learning Opportunity In Industry

Continuing its studies on the
opportunities for learning after
high school, Shaw PTA announces
a unique plan for the presenta-
ton on Thursday, March 18th of
its next topic in this series, name
ly Opportunities in Industry"
Because of the Importance of
this particular Opportunity" and
the need for parent and child to
explore its possibilities, the PTA
will offer the same program two
times on that day. There will be
a morning assembly for the Shaw
student body and an 8 p. m. o'clock
meeting for all parents of high
school pupils.
The speaker at both meetings
will be an outstanding industrial
and civic leader, whose broad ex-
perience gives him the background
for this kind of a presentation. He
is Harry T. Sealy, vice president
in charge of Distribution for Cleve-
land Electric Illuminating Co.
Commenting on this effort to
reach both parent and pupil with
suggestions they can better dis
cuss because both have heard it,
J. j. Stillinger, Shaw PTA presi-
dent says the PTA hopes the
presentation will lead to definite
thinking on the part of mothers
and fathers and their sons and
daughters as to their need of prep
aration for the place they may
take in the expanding future of
Cleveland industry.
1t is also hoped that the talk
will lead to a sincere study of the
in-training educational programs
offered by industry to further
qualify the worker for his job.
