First Reception
Tonight For Shaw
Alumni Musicians

The lovely Shaw custom Of the
Music Department Alumni joining
the choir for its always closing,
"Hallelujah" Chorus at its Christ
mas concert, is to be added to to-
night by an equally lovely gesture.
Tonight, Immediately following
the program in the auditorium, a
reception for the Alumni of the Mu-
sic Department is to be held in the
school cafeteria. A comittee of
Choir mothers has planned the af-
fair and is serving refreshments.
Mrs. Henry E. Lesson is serving
as chairman and assisting are Mrs.
Lawrence B. Chambers and Mrs.
Russell A. Parent.
This idea, states Miss Margery
Shields. Choir director, started
from last years program when Do
Choir alumni appeared on stage
when the traditional invitation was
extended them to join the Choir
in the singing Of the carols and the
final "Hallelujah" Chorus, as is
custom.
"We felt the need Of a place for
these people to gather after the
program for all their greetings
and chatting-and so came the
idea of a reception for this grow
ing group of Alumni who return
for the Christmas program"

Just A Minute
Did You Brinq 1t?

The bins are filling up but addi-
tional toys could be used.
This is the word as the Toys for
Tots collection campaign nears its
close. Saturday is the last day the
toys can be left at a Shell Station.
Joining forces in the collection
of toys for tots whose Christmas
will be gay or drab as a result,
are the Kiwanis clubs, the Volun-
teers of America and the U. S.
Marines. The gifts will be redis-
tributed in time for Santa to de-
liver them Christmas Eve.
Check your home, your garage,
your attic, your cellar, today. That
still useable, good toy no longer
a priced possession of your own
son or daughter, should go to some
other child this Christmas.

DeViIbiss Next
Year: Negotiations
Are Under Way

With negotiations still under
way, it is possible that the Shaw
Cardinals and the DeVilbiss will
sign another two-year game con-
tract. The Toledo eleven played
Shaw here this year, as a return
game for the Cards who journeyed
to Toledo year ago.
From what can be learned, the
difficulty still to be ironed out is
a question of scheduling for De-
Vilbiss.
Shaw enjoyed their. visit from
the Toledo players and from the
talk about on the Toledo gridiron,
that team and its fans enjoyed
Shaw and it's fans.
Athletic Director Bob Louis had
nothing definite to say, when
asked, which indicates there is
something in the wind and an an
nouncement might be forthcoming
most any day. Louis is always eau
tious when there is any un-
certainty.

places other rstrictions on a D3A

Balanced Budget
For So Despite
Higher Costs

Despite the fact that the City
Managers Estimate for 1858 is
calling for an expenditure of more
than $4,000 above the 1857 anti
cipated expenditures, the General
Fund revenues will still make pos
sible a balanced budget, according
to G. T. Apthory, director of
finance.
The 1858 estimate calling for an
expenditure of $1,279, 9,280.00 also
indicates a general fund revenue
of $1,328,475. This years expected
cost by midnight December 31st
is given as $r,201, ,770.00.
The City Commission received
the estimate Tuesday evening,
authorized it filed and set the
public hearing on it for Thursday,
January End at 1880 p. m. in the
Commission Chamber.
Explaining the estimate, FL
nance Director G. T. Apthorp
pointed to the $1,000 up in court
operation. This, he said is the
added cost to the city for the
Municipal Court which replaces
present Municipal Police Court
January 1st. The new plan calls
for a full time judge and bailiff,
and other incidentals thereto.
Another item looming bigger
for 1858 is the salary costs Of the
police department which were
upped this year together with a
cut in hours. While the 1857 bud
get has shown only portion of
this added cost for safety pro-
lection, since the increases were
effective during the year, the full
impact will be carried this year.
AS in all businesses, so in the
municipality, there is continuing
sup" in all purchases for opera
tion and maintenance.
AS the estimate now stands, no
provision is made for any salary
increases.
Mr.. Apthorp said the city has
not yet received the full tax re-
turn report and that hearing
on the tangible tax distribution is
slated for tomorrow.

4 Tightening the restrictions on
all phases of business where in
4 toxicating liquor is sold, the City
Comission Tuesday enacted legisla-
tion calling for modification of the
zoning ordinance, as recommend
ed by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The amendments concern specifi-
cally those places where liquor is
sold for consumption on the prem
ises. These places operate under
permits in one Of the "D' classi-
fications, as set up by the Ohio De-
partment of Liquor.
The Zoning Board took it's ac-
tion at a special session Tuesday
morning. The commission followed
with prompt endorsement at its
regular meeting in the evening.
Parking, an ever growing prob
lem, comes in for one of the
amendment changes. The new leg
islation maintains the already es-
tablished parking requirements for
ordinary places of public gather
ings but adds severe limitation by
doubling the off-street parking re-
quirements for night clubs, hotels,
motels, restaurants, or any place
where liquor is sold under D1,
D2, D3, D3A, D4 or D5 permit.
The number of parking spaces
are regulated as follows: One
space for each six seats in an ordi-
nary place of public gathering;
One space for each three seats in
businesses operating under any of
the specified liquor permits.
