one, everywhere, the year round,
states Mrs. Charles Richards,
fund drive chairman.
"Our goal was $11 $50, less than

So, 9,422.51."
Mrs. Richards reminds that any

Cross, 1917 Prospect ave-, Cleve-

Revise Holy
Week Hours

For the first time in more than
three hundred years, Catholics dur
ing Holy Week will commemorate
the last days of the life of Jesus
Christ at services in the afternoon
and evening.
Previously the services Of Holy
Week were held on the morning
of Holy Thursday, Good Friday
and Holy Saturday. Pope Plus XII
recently approved the restoration
of the order of services of Holy
Week. The changes were approved
for the benefit of the people, to
help them relive the sacred events
of the closing days of the life of
Christ.
Holy Thursday is observed as
the anniversary of the Lords Sup
per when Christ ate the solemn
passover meal with his disciples.
1t was at this supper that he in
stituted the Holy Eucharist. The
services on this day in all of the
Catholic churches of the world will
be in the evening and will begin
between 5 and 8 p. m. Catholics
have the opportunity of receiving
communion at this service.
In previous years the Good Fri
day services were usually held in
the morning and only the priest
could receive communion. However
the changes offer an opportunity
for all Catholics to receive COM
munion at the after services which
are to be conducted between 3 and
6 p. m.
Holy Saturday brings to mind
the death of Christ and the time
spent waiting for His Resurrection
from the dead. The day was eli
NAKED in older times by a Mass of
Easter celebrating his victory over
sin and death. Most of the Catholic
churches have set 8 p. m. Saturday
evening as the time for this serv-
| ice.
The whole purpose of Holy Week
services is to make all men more
conscious of the sufferings and
death of Jesus Christ.
The reason for transfer of the
services from the morning to the
afternoon and evening hours is to
allow more people to come to
church more easily and willingly
without interference with working
hours. The change also will enable
the people to take more intelli-
gent part in the services. 1t is the
wish of the Pope that all Catholics
make every effort to attend Holy
Week services.
The theme of Holy Week is
the death of Christ. 1t will be
symbolized by the absence of any
outward joy. Therefore at 8 p. m.
Thursday evening all church bells
will be rung and then silenced
until Saturday evening.
Easter is a time of joy and it
will be symbolized by the new fire
of Easter, the bells proclaiming
Christ's triumph and the white
vestments of Easter. 1t should re-
fleet the joy in mems hearts and
proclaim to all that Christ has
overcome death and sin for man.

Zone Board
Commission

East Cleveland's stringent regu-
lations for gas stations were evil
dent when the Zoning Board of
Appeals on Thursday, March 22nd
granted the appeal of the Valvo-
line Oil Company, Division of
Ashton Oil & Refining Company
to erect a gas station at Coventry
and Mont rds., replacing a gas sta
tion already occupying the prop
erty.
The company plans to purchase
the property and erect a 100000
two bay concrete structure having
three metal enamel veneer sides
and one side painted.
Stipulations include a six foot
rear setback, instead of the one
foot in the original plans; no all
night parking of any kind; no
truck parking at any time; and no
signs on the triangle section of
the property.
During the lengthy discussion
marking this hearing, George
Simon, a property owner in the
neighborhood, sketched the history
of the present gas station. He said
previous managements had been
careless in maintaining the prem
ises. The prospective new owners
assured the board that the prop
erty would be maintained in a
satisfactory manner.
Subject to approval by the state,
the zoning board will recommend
to the City Commission the grant
ing of a CO license to George
Fadel. Mr.. Fadel plans to trans
fer his delicatessen from 573 East
185th st. to 15455 Euclid ave. The
board made it clear that no bev-
erages may be sold at the Euclid
address until the state approves
the Fadel application.
In this connection Mr.. Apthorp
explained that the city has issued
four new CO permits since 1852,
transferred one within the city,
and approved one transfer to East
Cleveland from Cleveland.
At the time Of Ohio liquor freeze
in 1949 the city was permitted &c
CO such permits. 1t now has Ga,
giving a latitude of two.
The appeal of Beverly Develop
ment Co., owners of apartment
buildings at 1915 Terrace I'd. and
1875 Forest Hills blvd. to renovate
basement areas to accommodate
additional suites, has finally been
granted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals. The original request for
80 suites has, however, been cut
to 10, due to zoning requirements
and restrictions.
Since two companies desiring to
locate on the Brudner property in
the rear of Collamer ave., pur-
posed to have 24-hour operations,
the Zoning Board of Appeals de-
ferred action. Neighboring prop
erty owners will be given an oppor-
tunity to attend hearing on the
appeal.
Henry and Meyer Bruder have
the opportunity to rent the con-
crete-brick structure to the Profile
Machinery, Inc. and the Die De-
velopment Co.
