Resigning Head Of Well Baby Clinic
Calls For Revamping Of Clinic Policy

economic status that they cannot
afford private medical care.
For these ten years that | have
worked in the Clinic no effort has
been made to restrict attendance
to those who are truly needy. /
feel that the services of a social
worker should be used to accom-
plish this. The standards Of >ad-
mission to the City of Cleveland
Health Stations could be studied
and emulated. Certainly, no public
spirited citizen, either physician
or layman, should object to the
expenditures of tax money for the
health of individuals of less fortu-
nate economic status. However,
doing the same for those who
could afford private medical care
is just cause for criticism. 1t is
time, think, that the citizens of
East Cleveland re-eXamine this
time-hallowed custom in their city
of offering free care to the rich
as we'll as to the poor in their
well-baby clinic.
| can remember being told that
both East Cleveland and Cleveland
Heights give free care to "all
corners" as public health
measure regardless of ability to
pay in their well-baby clinics.
However, the private physicians
of these same patients, when they
become i'll, are expected to respond
cheerfully when called upon to
treat them. | can assure you that
a. number of physicians of my ac-
quaintance are not cheerful about
it and feel strongly that the Health
Departments of both East Cleve-
land and Cleveland Heights should
get out of the business of provid-
ing free care in baby clinics to
those patients who can afford
private medical care. This is a
form of state socialized medicine
in our own backyard which the
citizens of both communities should
study closely and either condemn
or condone.
With kindest personal regards,
I am,
Sincerely yours,

The American Field Service stu
dent exchange program is the most
valuable program now in effect to
bring better understanding among
the peoples of the world.
This, says ALI Kolbenstvedt Of
Norway. is the opinion of the 1853
students from 20 countries who are
in the United States for their
senior high school year. The young
men and women have expressed it
in their correspondence since ar
irving here, and in discussions held
aboard ship enroute to America.
Imagine" he said, "the impact
Of these youths on their homelands
when they return after having at
tended an American school, lived
in an American home, and observed
American living. He likened them
to "rocks in the stream Of ignor-
ance. the more rocks, the less
ignorance"

of the first ATS student in Greater

Having heard of American dol
lars. he could not. at first, under

Study Plans For New Pool
And Student Social Rooms
In Addition To Shaw Gym

A new pool TO replace Shaw's
present 41-year-old pool, and a
Student Social Room, to meet a
new trend in today's educational
system, are in blueprint form for
Shaw High School.
For more than two hours Mon
day evening, members of the East
Cleveland Board of Education and
the usual visitors to school board
meetings, the representatives from
the PTA units, the faculty, the
League of Women Voters and
other interested citizens who come
to the meetings, listened as plans
for the new structures were un-
folded.
A sufficient number Of copies
of the drawings were provided
that all persons present could
follow the architects and the gen
eral discussion. Everyone took
part.
There to explain the temporary
plans as detailed by Fulton, Della
Motto and Associates were archi-
techs Richard Raushenbach and
Sherwood Nassau. The structures
housing the lounge and the pool
will be constructed to the rear of,
and becoming a part of the new
Shaw Gymnasium on Shaw ave,
opposite Shaw High School.
Estimated cost of the construc-
ton, equipment, furnishing etc.
of the proposed new building is
$750,OO0. This coming November
the electorate will be given the
opportunity to add its support by
voting for bond issue to cover
the capital expenditure.
The blue prints call for an ad-
dition the same width as the pres
ent gym. Immediately to the rear
and becoming a part -of it will be
the Student Social Room. 1t would
include a so 60 combination
dance hall auditorium soda bar
opening up into a SO x so foot
lounge on a three or four step
higher level. The elevation would
make the loung ideal as a stage
for events calling for one. The
auditorium area would provide
accommodation for 200 persons.
To the rear of this would be
the structure housing a Al K IS
foot, three to II #. deep pool with
folding bleachers accommodating
500 spectators. The bleachers
would be similar to those now in
use in the gymnasium.
The necessary storage and
service rooms, including laundry
where swim suits and swim towels
could be washed, are included.
A number of suggestions made
during the meeting will be con-
sidered and the plans studied fur
ther before final adoption. There
are still many details, such as
types of materials to be used, type
of floors, etc. to be worked out.
The pool will have a steel base.
An interesting, but important
sideline in the planning is the
fact that Student Committee

Hints On Buying
Boys Stacks

Mothers, those slacks you intend
to buy your son will last longer
and look better, if you take care
when buying.
Check the labels to find infor-
nation on fiber content, laundry
or dry cleaning instructions, brand
name, wear characteristics and
special quality features.
It's best to bEy slacks that have
labels saying: washable in hot wa
ter, shrinkage controlled to two
per cent, proportion cut for better
fit, colorfast and wrinkie-rasistant.
Also look for labels that meGtion
these signs of quality-well-s stitch
ed seaSsfs, durably-sewn buttons,
pockets of uniform material, and
pockets and bindings as launder-
able as the slack material.
Always have your son try on new
slacks before you buy. This way
the best possible fit will be assur-
ed. Good fit and quality are avail
able in many price ranges.
