Dutch Family From Far Java Reach
Their Longed-For Haven America

It's a new family from a far away
home, but with hearts and eyes
looking forward in this land of hope
and opportunity, thanks to World
Church Service. Such is the vision
of the Alberts, Frits and Wanda
and their children, Frans and
Eugene, Swear old twins, and
Freddie, aged six.
Until they can be located in their
own home, the family is being cared
for by Rev. and Mrs. William
Towner in the parsonage of East
Cleveland Baptist Church, their
sponsors.
Wanda was the "girl across the
street" to Frits, back in Surabaya,
the seaport and naval base in
northeastern Java. They were
descendants of the early dutch who
migrated there. All was we'll until

ing japanese with the usual war

Urges Proper
Street Crossing
Instructions

Using the miniature traffic sig
nal equipment provided for the pur-
pose, Sgt. William Hartford of the
East Cleveland Police Department
Safety Division, is teaching the chill
dren in the primary grades the
proper method of crossing the street
with the traffic light.
In this safety instruction, reports
Sgt. Hartford, he is finding a sur
prising number of instances in
which parents have taught the
child to cross the street on the
wrong face of the light.
"These children, states the SER
geant, "are being taught to cross
on the red light, instead of walking
with the green signal.
"Such instruction is particularly
dangerous when the traffic light
carries a delayed action signal,
in which three faces come up red
at the same time, leaving only one
green face"
This type Of home instruction
meeting a delayed" type signal
was the cause of an accident at the
Superior Euclid intersection this
summer, says Mr.. Hartford. The
child had been taught at home to
cross on the red. There were three
red and one green signals, with the
motorist turning on the green
arrow. Fortunately the child escaped
with slight injury.
Sgt. Hartford urges parents who
are teaching their children to cross
the street on the red light, to cor
rect this line of thinking, and teach
the child to cross with the green
light.
During this weeks instructions,
the sergeant has been told more
than once "That isn't the way my
Mother told me to cross the street..

the position held by Frits. But when
they left their home they alone
knew they would not return.
They took up residence in Zeist,
Holland, and year ago moved on
to Amsterdam, since which time
they have patiently awaited their
turn to come to America.
In the meantime they have been
trying to learn as much as possible
about this country. The boys still
are waiting to behold a cowboy
and an Indian.
Mrs. Albert speaks good English,
subject, which together with Ger
man and French is required in the
Indionesian schools. She says they
are overjoyed at being here. The
boys have been enrolled at Prospect
school and like it very much. Fred
die is a first-grader; Eugene and
Frans are in the third grade. Mr.
Albert has employment at the
Superior Carbon Company.
The Baptist Church would appre-
ciate it if you know of house for
the Alberts. The church office phone
is Ii. 1-0311. They prefer to keep
the children in the East Cleveland
schools.

Its Camp Fire
Candy Sale Time

It's surprising what enough bags
of candy sold at Toe can do. Camp
Fire Girls of this area hope to prove
that they can sell enough bags of
chocolate Nestlets at 75c each
between October 26th through No
vember 18th to do lot of things.
For instance they hope to dig
two wells, mend few cabin roofs,
build one cabin or more, buy r
few beds, offer a few more camper
ships with money earned in their
once-a-year ways and means pro-
ject; candy selling.
Sometime within these dates a
Camp Fire girl, wearing her serv-
ice uniform and carrying the Off
cial basket of candy, will stop at
your door or be found in one of the
busy spots around town. Their hours
will be afterschool and Saturdays.
The candy will be just the ticket
for '"Trick or Treat" handouts, for
milling while watching TV or play
ing cards, for serving at Thanksgiv-
ing time.
Because they enjoy camping, and
all the other happy experiences
Camp Fire offers them, the Camp
Fire Girls are ready and willing to
participate in this annual candy
selling event. All they request is
encouragement in the form of CO.
operation.

Shaw Guns For 9th
AS Parma Invades.
Tickets Going Fast

mails continued to climb in local
and statewide scholastic grid
ratings. Locally the Cards are the
third ranking team while two
different state polls put them in
fourth and fifth positions.
According to Athletic Direcotr
Robert Louis, this weeks game
with Parma has produced the
heaviest advance sale of tickets
for the season. In fact reser-
vations are already being made
for the game with Euclid the
week following.
Adding color to the tussle with
Parma will be the fact that it's
Dads Night" Dads Of Shaw
players land in some instances
brothers or uncles) will meet the
Cardinals outside the locker room.
Each dad and player will then
march onto the field together be-
tween two long rows of Shaw
bandsmen who will be standing in
formation.
A special half-time show by the
Shaw band will honor the football
dads.
For brief spell last Friday it
looked as if the Tigers of Cleve-
land Heights meant business as
they jumped to 10 lead. The
Cards changed this in a hurry by
scoring twice to assume a 1877
half-time lead.
Once again it was the brilliant
running of Tom Matte who gained
187 yards and scored four times
that sparked the Shaw offense.
Shaw's other two scores were
chalked up by Mike Brophy and
Bob Biscotti.
Numerous old time Shaw fans
have been singing the praises Of
the Cardinals since their opening
victory and especially about the
new leadership of Coach Leo
Strang. Aside from the fact that
the Cards have one Of the tor
offensive clubs in the area, OBJ
servers have shown more interest
in the fact that "some of that
old-time Shaw spirit has spread
throughout the city"
while touchdowns help win the
games, good blocking, alertness
and determination on the part of
the defense and the boys who set
up the plays has made the Shaw
success to date a real team effort"
is the general opinion of the grand
stand coaches.

Talent Show
Are
Selected

AS the East Cleveland Kiwanis
Clubs talent screening committee
swung into action this week when
it held its first additions last Tues
day night, Clarence Rauch, chair
man of the judges committee, an
nounced the names Of, the three
well-known experts who will decide
which of the acts deserve the half
dozen cups to be awarded to the
top contestants.
Tom Armstrong, early morning
disc jockey at radio station VICAR;
H. H. Nunamaker, insurance man
and past president of the Chagrin
Falls kiwanis Club, and Reg Merri-
dew, formerly program director of
VICAR and now managing director
of Crown Hill Cemetery, will have
the tough and unenviable task of
selecting the six best acts on the
program.
Talent applications are still being
accepted and tryouts are scheduled
again for October 30th and Novem-
Der 9Th. Mr.. Ken Vermillion, talent
committee chairman, can be reached
at GIL. 1-1750 to answer any ques-
tions about eligibility of contestants
or regarding these tryout nights.
Each contestant who has made ap-
plication will have been notified
about the exact time to show up
and Mr.. Vermillion has suggested
that applicants not already regist-
cred should get their names in early
enough so that they will not miss
out in either Of the two remaining
dates.
The previous past records Of hav-
ing the outstanding junior talent of
East Cleveland in this annual XII
wants show are going to be eXcelled
if the initial screening by the talent
committee is any criterion.
Many fine acts were observed this
week by the committee headed by
Mr.. Vermillion and consisting of:
Kiwanians, Bob Lucas, Bill Dearth,
Allen Gibson, Bob Fraser, Bill
Stallings, Rev. J. Franklyn Nc
Hendry, and the ace staging team
of Al Martin of Kirk and Miss
Margery Shields of Shaw.

sure to grace the Kirk auditorium
stage on the night of November
18th for the 7th annual Kiwanis
event the judges are fortunate in
that they will have an added class
with a total of six cups to award
this year. The trophies will go to
a group up to and including twelve
years of age and another group
from 13 to 10 years of age.
