On Sunday, March 4th, band of
500 volunteers will CLEAN the school
districts of the city in drive
which is expected to net S11,650
for Red Cross. This Kickoff Day
opens the 1856 Fund Drive which
extends through March 18th. The
East Cleveland workers hope to
practically do it up on Sunday.
The S11,6 goal is $3.50 higher
than originally quoted, due to the
terrific drain on Red Cross Disaster
Funds to meet the macedonian cry
from the flood stricken peoples of
both east and west. Each year Red
Cross sets aside a part Of all in
come for disaster use. Within the
past months the demand has far
exceeded the fund. And what of
tomorrow should disaster strike?
Kenneth Vermillion, chairman of
East Cleveland Branch Red Cross,
and Mrs. Charles E. Richards,
Fund Drive Chairman are conf
dent the goal for East Cleveland
is not too high, and that East
Cleveland will meet it.
EAST Cleveland enjoys a splendid
Water Safety program at Shaw
Pool each summer" states Mr..
Richards. "We want to expand this
program.

come to your door Sunday. She is

Cross and she is serving you".

Water Division
Has BIRD Year
In The Black

For the 33rd consecutive year the
East Cleveland Water Department
lived within it's income, according
to the 1855 report. The Water De-
partment is one of the "self-sustain-
ing" departments within the munich
pality, but there can be years when
the unexpected happens and ex-
penses rise above income.
The department buys water from
the City of Cleveland, and serves its
consumers with its own operated
and maintained lines.
During 1866 it mailed out 26,704
bills for a total of $345, ,233.84. 1t
detected and repaired 25 leaks on
city connections, and '27 leaks were
detected on consumer connections.
These repairs are made by the con-
sumner. One fire hydrant leak was
repaired. 1t replaced two fire
hydrants and made "a new connec-

Editor, The Leader:
YVES delighted to read, in the
February 23rd issue of the East
Cleveland Leader, your letter of
thanks from Mr.. Frank G. Lewman,
Cuyahoga County Chairman of the
March of Mothers.
However, l would like to add
something. For years the Cuyahoga
County Office of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis has
asked me to mail them each issue Of
the Leader which gives news items
about the Polio Campaign. The pur-
pose is not just for their files, but
they show these copies to other
suburban chairmen as models of
what can be done to further a
suburban campaign, suggesting that
these chairman try to get the same
type and amount of publicity.
In view of population and income
brackets, East Cleveland has always
been considered to have the most
successful polio campaign. And, as
chairman, l realize that our success
is in no small degree due to your
cooperation and that of Miss Berg.
Ny wife, for years until this year,
has been a vice chairman in the
Red Cross Fund Drive. She tells me
the leaders of this campaign also
value The Leader and Miss Elsa
Berg's gracious efforts as we do.
You doubtless realize Miss Berg's
tireless cooperation with these and
East Cleveland's other organiza-
tions. Nevertheless, / wanted to add
nv voice of appreciation to The
Leader for it's public spirited sup
mort and Miss Berg's unusual civic
performance.
Sincerely yours,
Stanton Adams, Chairman,
East Cleveland Polio Fund

PTA Health
Roundup
Schedule

Announcement is made today OF
an important date to parents Of
children who will be entering the
East Cleveland Public Schools for
the first time next September. It's
the schedule Of the Annual Health
and Summer Roundup program.
The date for each school, and
the Roundup chairman for that
school is as follows:
ROZELLE-March 15th-Chair-
man: Mrs. Stanley Rose, Ii 1898.
SUPERIOR-March 10th. Chair
man: Mrs. Harold Bergman, YE
1856.

Started some % years ago, the
summer roundup was first held
during the summer months. How
ever, experience has proved the
value of the earlier Spring date
since it gives parents ample time
to have corrected any defect which
might be revealed by the check-up.
Also, many parents prefer to at
tend to these health needs prior to
warmer weather.

medical and dental check-up is
the schools Health Department,
headed by DR.. NJ. d. Falls, Med
ical Director; DR.. Linda Schneider,
School Physician; and the nurs-
ing staff, Miss Nina McWebb,
Miss Thelma Furry, and Miss
Martha Whitacre.
Mothers also help in the days
activity, lending their talents as
hostesses, clerks, etc.
The Roundup marks the first
official school record for the child.
The health roundup, points out
Mrs. Maurice Barnes, Roundup
chairman of East Cleveland PTA
Council, not only offers the op-
portunity for early correction of
defeats and the immunization
against communicable diseases,
but provides a medium for CIV
ing the parent valuable instruc-
tion in child health.
"You will be helping yourself,
your family and your community
if you bring your pre-school age
child to the roundup in your neigh
borhood school. For further in
formation, please call your active
district chairman"
DR.. o. J. Korb estimates that
some $50 children will be enrolled
in the kindergarten classes to be-
gin their school year with next
September.

Everybody knows politics
makes strange bedfellows. but
whoever thought history
would? Here I find myself in
the same berth with the cru
dite Arnold ]. Toynbee, whose
"Study in History" is the
greatest thing since Gibbons
Decline and Fall of the Ro-
man Empire"
Having whipped off those 10
comprehensive volumes, his
torian Toynbee must be studi-
ously porting over the pages of
The Stars Women's Section
in a desperate effort to find
out what's cooking today. We
don't mind. We can be big
about those things-especially
in the head.
The chronicler Of the worlds
colossal kaleidoscope has writ
ten an article in the new
Woman's Home Companion
entitled what a Woman Can
Do?" Always anxious to know
how far my sex can go and
get away with it. I read same.
And bless my Soul-what did
I find!
In looking at the situation
in this election year. the great
Toynbee writes: To-day y is
the American woman whose
attitude matters most :"
But guess what? Back on
February IL wrote: 1T may
cause the male species to
shudder, but the next Presi-
dent of the United States will
almost certainly be determined
by Americas petticoat contin-
gent"
Then said Arnold lone feels
like one knows him so we'll
now: Women we're the win
ners of the Second World
War--but the part they now
play in peacetime is still more
significant"
In the second article on how
women vote, Exclusively Yours
reads: Women can outnum-
Der and outvote the men any
day and the signs of the times
say they will outvote them
in 1856"
A. j. T. then says that
womens approach to politics
is often more emotional than
mems. Not measures. but men

picks his candidate according
to whether or not it's going to
be good for his own business"
But when you ask women
"about the political candidate,
they talk about the man-hiS
appearance, his character, his
charm, his strength.-As one
young housewife put it; We
get a general impression about
the man from his stand on
issues, but it's the man we
think about.
Next. Mr.. Toynbee writes, I'm
this TV age of ours, the
women's vote may be cast in
favor of politicians who are
well favored and photogenic."
Is he telling us? To quote
Exclusively Yours again. "A
woman in the prime of life said,
I like Ike.-He has the most
engaging smile and tremen-
douS personal appeal. Women
base a lot OH physiognomy.'"
That's enough to give you a
proper prospective (ho-hum)
toward us society reporters. We
who interpret the manners and
trends of today are just feeding
fodder to fellows like A. j.
Toynbee, the worlds greatest
historian. Dollars to dough-
nuts the managing editor never
thought of that!

MARTYRDOM RUNS IN

Washington.
The uncle who gave him this
warning. Count de San Este

in Washington during World
War / and retired from the
service as an Ambassador.
Another uncle. the Marquis
de San Carlos de Pedroso. was
an attache here from 1884

the Marquis de San Carlos de
