NEW YORK, Aug. rs Dr.
Half a dozen fiction writer's

pear on publishers fall lists
and are perhaps the surest
sign Of a good reading season
upcoming.
The fact that a writer has
some distinguished books to
his credit is, as we have
learned sadly, no guarantee
that he cannot turn OUT an
unreadable bowler, yet without
doubt we are all going to
thumb through some pages, at
the very least, in the following:

gusta Walker, "Giovanni's
Room" by James Baldwin

guerite Yourcenar, author of

Crime Increase
Cited By Addams

While juvenile delinquency cases
have increased nationally 14fo in
the last year, they are still under
their totals of 80 years ago, Judge
Stanton Adams told the Rozelle
Parent Teacher Association Tues
day evening.
In 1926 the per thousand
juvenile delinquency cases were
500 per 1000. In 1866 it was
1870.
Burglaries and cases involving
stolen automobiles are on the up
grade. In juvenile delinquency
cases the stolen car is the most
potent factor. ,Burglaries are Sec
ond. Stolen car cases are up 22Gc.
Quoting a few East Cleveland
figures the judge of the city's
court said that for the first half
of 1856 there were three robberies
compared with six in all of 1865;
one aggravated assault compared
to 55's two; 10 stolen autos COM
pared to 20 in 1855; and 56 burg
laries compared with AZ for the
preceding 12-month period.
The crime rate increase, he re-
ported, was particularly big among
Juveniles, crimes not previously
listed in the category, now being
found there.

representing 27 Lutheran Churches
in this area are joining forces for
Lutheran Evangelism Mission
the week Of October 21st.
This area program is segment
of the two-year, continent-wide
Lutheran Evangelism M i S S i o n
launched a year ago, to mobilize
the lay leadership of the church.
Local pastors stress that the
mission is not a membership cam
paign. Its purpose, as stated by
the Rev. DR.. Robert W. Stackel,
national director, is "to stimulate
the Christian faith of our people,
and to equip them and inspire them
to do a better job of evangelism in
their everyday lives"
Area chairman is the Rev. Oliver
A. Rajala of Messiah Church,
Lyndhurst.
Outlining the mission plans, DR..
Rajala explained that an army of
recruited laymen are visiting the
homes of members prior to the
mission, inviting them to the weeks
services. During the week of the
mission, the laymen will extend the
invitation to persons who do not
have a church home.
To open the Mission Week, there
will be a rally at Lutheran High
School, 2648 Prospect ave. on
Sunday, October 21st for all lay

City Stands
Pat On Zone
Regulations

East Cleveland's zoning ordi-
nance means exactly what it says.
This was made clear here within
the past week to two property
owners who were found to have
violated the housing regulations
as set forth in the city's zoning
ordnance.
George Mitchell, 1888 East
125th ST., was fined $100 on each
of two counts. Mrs. Anna ]. Melen-
nick must restore her apart
ment at 175O-52 Holyoke ave. to
its original occupancy.
1t is the custom Of the city to
call on new property owners to
present them with copy of the
city's official handbook, and to
acquaint them with housing regu-
lations. Such a visit was made by
Inspector McGill on Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell and their two children
when they moved into their newly
purchased home in East Cleveland.
In second call, Inspector Nc
Gill found that two additional
families, one having two children
and one having three children were
also occupying the Mitchell single
1Amily dwelling.
The city went into action. A
warrent charged Mitchell with
failure to have a rooming house
license, and to having more than
six persons to bathroom. The
hearing was held last Saturday
morning. By evening the two
extra families were gone.
Adding three illegal suites to
her apartment house brought the
stiff action by the Zoning Board
in the Melenick hearing. The
board not only upheld the order of
the building inspector but also in
structed Law Director Stanley
Webster to proceed with the
necessary legal action.
The apartment, originally a
four six-room suite building, has
been altered to include three lille
gal suites. In the renovation, GER
tain building code violations re-
suited.

The Future Nurses Club meets
on the first and third Mondays of
each month. 1t was organized by
Mrs. Nina McWebb, R.N., who re-
tired last year after thirty years
of service. Now under the guidance
of Miss Sally Carran, Shaw girls
are introduced to the field of nurs-
ing. Through talks by representa-
tives of hospitals, and other special
programs, many Shaw girls learn
the requirements for admission to
the nursing profession, as we'll as
the link between nursing and the
undergraduate liberal arts college
program.
The Spanish department at Shaw
is the largest in the language
group, being the only language to
offer third year of study. Miss
Isabelle Latta, instructor, explains
the aim of the classes is for the
students to learn a basic vocabu-
larry sufficient to allow them to
get along when visiting a Spanish
speaking country, The third year
is devoted to reading literature in
the language.
Two years each of German.
French and Latin are also offered
under the instructorship of Miss
Elizabeth Ort in French and Ger
man. and c. Cassil Reynard in
Latin.
One of the strongest depart
mentS in Shaw has ALWAYS heen
the Science section. About half of
the students who graduate from
Shaw take biology. Miss Edith
Scribner, instructor, expressed ap-
probation for the "the marvellous
equipment the classes have, thanks
to the taxpayers" She added that
live material is used in the classes
as much as possible. Mr.. Philip
Worcester is second instructor
in biology and has also some stu
dents in physiology.
Offered, too, is chemistry under
Mr.. Lawrence Chambers, as well
as physics with Mr.. Donald Sill
berger as instructor. Thus a com
plete college preparation in the
sciences is available to Shaw stu
dents.
Guests at Shaw's Open House
will follow through the daily
schedule of their sons and daugh-
ters and visit these departments
as we'll as the others of the school.
