New Fire Exchange
Service Has Teeth

In an agreement for an exchange
Of fire fighting services when
needed, the City of East Cleve-
land and the City of Cleveland
Heights have incorporated a new
clause in their new contract. 1t
makes each municipality respon-
sible for any injury or any
property damage to the others
men or equipment while assisting
them at a fire. The city's contract
with Cleveland is similar.
Due to the fact the border calls
are often received by one city when
they rightly belong to an
other, and because the fire fight
ing services are sometimes needed
to help battle a blaze, neeighbor-
ing suburbs work together. All of
the new contracts are being drawn
to assure protection.

IUE Strike
At GE Wire
Plant Ends

Settlement of the five-day strike
by IUE at General Electric's
Cleveland Wire Plant was reached
Monday night, March 4th, with
the maintenance work in dispute
remaining in the job, according to
R. F. Johnson, general manager
of the Lamp Wire and Phosphors
Department. Salaried employees
returned Tuesday, and production
employees were called back with
the start-up of operations.
Plant management agreed that
assistance would be furnished to
the operator whenever necessary
on the minor maintenance work at
issue. Union officials agreed to the
nine men involved working out the
performance of this work among
themselves while continuing the
production part Of the job.
The union had previously re-
quested that the work in question
removing and replacing part of
the process equipment-be done
by plant maintenance men instead
of the nine treaters themselves.
Who was to do the work
amounting to few hours per
man per year-had remained the
key issue in the Wire Plant Strike
which was threatening to spread
to all other IUE locations within
General Electric here in Cleveland.
"The union stated flatly at
Mondays 6-hour meeting that
automation was not the issue
but only the work content of the
nine mems jobs" Johnson said.

IN East Cleveland

At Tuesday evenings meeting
of the City Commission, Member
Fran Fellows said he had received
a call from a citizen who wanted
to know what could be done to
keep sidewalks clean. There was
some discussion. No action.
This is condition of which
Fast Cleveland cannot be proud.
But it is something that can be
eliminated.
There is always some dirt on
sidewalks. and more on walks
which never know broom or
hose. But there is also constant
evidence of downright careless
ness. especially on walks in front
of stores selling foods which often
are being consumed by the pur-
chaser as he leaves the store. This
means food wrapper litter and
food particles on the sidewalk.
Too often it means spilled soft
drinks, empty soft drink bottles.
The city's official Cleanup
Committee is preparing its Spring
Summer-Fall program. Is it go
ing to be necessary to call on
some store keepers, to spot litter
bugs? We hope not. A word to the
Ioval East Cleveland citizen should
be sufficient.
Along the grapevine comes the
rumor: "No more state redeemed
tax stamps" Might be a good
idea to get your stamps to your
favorite non-profit making group
nronto Better is safe than sorry.
The cancelled tax stamps returns
have been a rather profitable
business.

Basement Is Finding
Its Place in the Sun

method of getting the required
window area is to double up on
each sash, achieving the long,
high window look which is so
popular in modern design.
If you want the basement of
your future home to look even
more livable, it's a good idea
to plan on a fioor-to-celiing
height Of 8 feet / inch. This
does not involve any great ad-
ditional expense but it win add
a definite feeling Of spacious
ness to the finished recreation
area.
And you can save some Of
the added cost of the founda-
ton in finishing of the
basement, since it will be pos
sible to use standard 8-foot
sizes Of dry wall materials with
a minimum amount Of cutting
and fitting.
Outside Entrance Needed
A separate basement en-
trance to the outdoors will
more than prove its worth.
Youngsters can come and 90
without disturbing the rest Of
the house. Furniture, lumber
and many other things which
can not be squeezed through
the inside halls can be brought
into the basement through the
outside entrance.
Steps from the basement can
be covered with a modern.
double-leaf steel hatchway as
a permanent protection against
the elements. New methods
make 1t possible. where an out
side entrance is desired in a
house already built, to break
through a concrete block foun-
datson and create q door OPEN
ing within 40 minutes.
Another factor to be con-
sidered in planning a basement
that will be livable is arrange
ment Of the heating ducts,
plumbing lines, etc., so that
they will run through areas
which will not be used for
recreational purposes.
Also, water PROBING the
foundation is a lot cheaper II
1t is done during the original
construction than at some later
date.
All Of which adds up to this:
II you want more low-cost
space. and you decide to get 1t
by having a basement in your
new home, sensible planning
will save you money as well as
making the underground area
a better place in which to
spend time.

BY ANDREW C. LANG


The typical American home
IN 1850 had only 983 square
feet Of space. The typical
American home last year had
1850 square feet.
These Bureau Of Labor stat
istics are emphatically con-
flrmed by numerous private
surveys and Ithe reports of real
estate brokers. New homes
especially new homes built to
crder-are getting bigger.
i Americans want more space
IN their houses because they
have larger families more gov
eminent statistics), because
they need more room for appli-
ances and because they have
more leisure time, creating a
demand for a place to pursue
woodworking and other hobbies.
Return to Easements
High building costs make it
necessary for the majority of
families to seek low-cost space.
As a result. there has been a
steady increase in the popular
ity Of Easements, which for a
time had fallen into consider
able disfavor.
In most areas of the country
# costs approximately $40 to
9l2 to provide one square foot
Of floor space above ground
To provide equivalent floor
space in the basement, it costs
about one : tenth Of that
amount. or 81 to SIPS per
square foot.
Traditionally the place for
utilities and the storage of
dozens of items, the basement
has come into its own as the
location for leisure-time &C
tivities. Thanks to modern
materials and planning con-
ceptS, 1t can be made as light,
CHEEKY and Nvable as any other
room in the house.
Plan 1t Well
The key to the most effec-
tive use of the basement lies
In pre-planning. The future
playroom and other recreation
areas should be made easily
accessible to both the first floor
and the outdoors. And nothing
gives a basement a livable ap-
pearance as much as an album
dance of natural light.
The administrators of build
ing codes consider a room
habitable when the area Of its
windows is equivalent to one
tenth Of the floor space. A typi-
cal basement recreation room
measuring 20 feet by IL feet,
with a total floor area Of 240
square feet. should have win
dows with an area of "a square
feet.
Since a basement sash usu-
ally measures IS inches by 80
inches, an area Of almost 4
square feet, the basement room
can be made to conform to the
standards Of upstairs rooms by
using six or seven basement
oashes. One architectural
