Former Resident
Ohio Liberty Lady

Ohio's No. I Liberty Lady, Miss
Vera Carpenter of South Euclid, is
former East Clevelander. The
Carpenters formerly resided or
Garden rd. and Strathmore aves.
this city and their children, Charles
of Noble rd, Richard of Painesville
and Mrs. Evelyn Larson of Indian
apolis attended the East Cleveland
schools.
Mrs. Carpenter was the answer
to a search by the Greater Cleve-
land Committee for the American
Museum of immigration, since her
birthdate is October 28th, 1886, the
date on which the Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbor was dedi-
Gated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter enjoyed
a weekend in New York City, and
visited the Statue of Liberty at
whose base the museum is to be
built by nationality groups from
across the nation. In addition to
the excitement of being selected,
was the thrill of their first trip by
air and their first visit to the Me-
tropolis by either Mrs. Carpenter or
her husband, Grover, who accom-
panied her.
Mrs. Carpenter is the sister of
Mrs. Leila Christopher of 14600
Euclid ave.

.MeHenry To
ErnceeTaIent
Show Again

Preparations for the East Cleve-
land Kiwanis Seventh Annual
Talent Show program on Friday,
November 18th shifted into high
gear this week with the second
staging Of talent hopefuls this past
Tuesday night and the announce
ment that Rev. J. Franklin Nc
Hendry would again introduce the
fine group of acts now being pre-
pared for the opening curtain at
Kirk Junior High auditorium.
After doing such an outstanding
job last year as master of cere-
monies it was only natural to ask
the capable, genial minister of the
Windermere Presbyterian Church
to serve again this year, DR.. Louis
Edwards, general chairman, stated
this week in making the an
nouncement.
During the six years that he has
been in this community, Rev. Nc
IIendry has become well-known for
his sparkling wit and his reputa-
tion as an after-dinner speaker
has put him in great demand.
Rev. McHendry came to East
Cleveland in 1850 and his church
members have proudly watched
him progress. He is at present the
president of the East Cleveland
Ministerial Association and was
recently appointed chaplain of the
High-Twelve Luncheon Club of
East Cleveland.
Born in North Fayette Township,
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,
J. Franklin McHendry decided to
make ministry his life's work. He
was graduated from College of
Wooster in 1885 and from Prince
ton Theology Seminary in 1888.
Rev. McHendry lives at 1894
Page ave. with his wife, Ruth, who
is the daughter of minister, and
a son, George, who is a tenth
grader at Shaw High School, a
member of the Shaw band, and
daughter, Sally, who attends Pros
pect School.
He is serving term as director
of the East Cleveland Kiwanis Club
and is a member of the board of
managers of the YMCA. Very ac-
tive in community work, Rev. Nc
Hendry serves as a striking .ex-
ample of the good work done by
members of the service clubs, such
as this East Cleveland Kiwanis
Group.
Members Of the committee
selecting talent for the big night
have their third and final tryouts
slated for next Tuesday, November
9Th. After that will come the final
preparing, expert coaching, re-
hearsals, and all the planning that
make this Kiwanis show great
success each year and that will
eliminate in the parade of talent
across the Kirk stage, Friday
night, November 18th.

the Director of Health, an office
for the Sanitary Inspectors, dis
pensary and a waiting room.
At present the Director of Law
transacts city business from a
cubby hole on the second floor rear,
and the Chief Electrician has his
desk in the basement, next door to
the jamed Police Property Room.
There is also to be suitable accomo-
dations where clerks and secre-
taries may eat their lunches.
Police Headquarters
Since the present police head
quarters were added to City Hall
building eight years ago, there has
been great strides in police meth
ods, much scientific equipment has
been added and set up wherever a
spot could be found for it. To
remedy this situation the entire
department arrangement is being
revamped, using the present space
as we'll as some in the rear addi-
ton, to continue it's high efficiency.
The East Cleveland Police De-
partment has been cited by the
National Safety Council for the ex-
cellence of it's record system. There
must be more room to house these
growing records, used continually
by the officers in discharge of their
duties.
A similar crowed condition exists
in the Detective Bureau which will
be eased by taking over the offices
to be vacated by the Finance De-
partment.
Hearings Of the Municipal Court
are to be speeded up with a

.Punther's
Defense
A Threat

More than 5000 fans are ex-
pected to jam Shaw Stadium to-
night Thursday when the Cardi-
mails of Shaw High face good
Euclid team in what could turn
out to be an "historic evening""
Coach Leo Strang's classy Car
dinals can give Shaw it's first un-
disputed Lake Erie League Cham
pionship in q years with a vic
tory over the Panthers.
"We know that our boys are
superior when it comes to offense"
said Coach Strang "but we also
have great deal Of respect for
the strong defense the Euclid
squad has shown so far this year"
Despite their one touchdown
loss to Lakewood last Friday,
Coach Strang was quick to point
out that the Panthers have allowed
only Ia points in LEI action so
far. Shaw's league opponents have
tailed 81 points.
Coach Strang feels that if the
Cardinals can contain the visitors
in their own territory "our offense
can take care Of the rest"
Comparatively speaking, Shaw
blanked Parma 26-0 last Friday
while Euclid had to hustle to
down the Redmen 1877 the week
previous.

among the top ten even though
poll figures released by the dif

One thing that appears certain
in the weekly ratings, is the ap-
parent "pull of Cleveland votes"
That is, there seems to be a shift

Ever since the Charity Game
