Visits With Home
Folk In Ireland

Seeing ones parents and other
kin after 80 years is wonderful. So
says William Alexander of 1900
Orinoco ave-, back from an 18 day
trip to Enniskillen, Ireland. He still
is relating many of his experiences
to Mrs. Alexander, their three
daughters, Lynne, a student at
Shaw; Lucille and Phyllis at Kirk
Jr. High, and brother Joe and fam
lily who live just down the street
at 1929.
The exciting reunion not only
meant seesing his parents again,
but also seeing three brothers, four
sisters and their families, many of
these later kin for the first time.
With the exception of one sister
who operates small hotel, all the
family is engaged in farming, and
doing we'll, which made their visitor
happy.
Mr.. Alexander's first thrill came
as he stepped off the plane at Bel
fast to be greeted by his parents,
who had travelled 80 miles to well
come their son. The last get-to-
gther of all the family was the
birthday party for his father on
his 84th anniversary. His mother
is 78.
Other interesting things about
the trip, says Mr.. Alexander is
the comparison of travel time be-
tween March. 1857 when Of the "a
hours from New York to Ireland,
only 1912 was actual flying over
the Atlantic. When he came to
America in 1927 he spent five and
a-half days on the Atlantic.
Mr.. Alexander has been en-
pioyed by the Park Drop Forge
Co. since 1886.

April Storm,
Takes High
Tree Toll

Recovering from the worst April
blizzard to hit the area in decades
East Cleveland is trying to MOP
up after the 10.6-inch snowfall
which began Sunday noon ano
continued through to mid-afternoor
Tuesday. High winds and low
visibility added to the hazards for
those on the road.
Three citizens suffered injuries
as result of the storm. Mrs. Flor
ence V. Vogel, 1866 Roxford rd.,
received head injuries in fall on
the sidewalk near her home Sum-
day about 9:15 a. m.
While attempting to hurdle a
puddle at the Noble-Nelaview in
tersection Tom Hubbard of 827
Nelaview rd. lost his balance when
his loafer slipped off his foot. He
fell on two discarded empty milk
bottles, and it took eight stitches
to close the cuts in his hand and
arm.
Mrs. Richard D. Larabee, 14717
Terrace rd., was injured when the
car driven by her husband, slid
into tree in Geauga County,
Sunday.
A new Mercury on Holyoke rd.
was damaged by falling tree
limb.
The city's greatest losses are
to it's trees. William Robertson of
the Engineering Department, re-
ports that never in the history of
the city has so much storm dam
age been suffered by trees as in
this staggering blizzard. at will
take at least a month for the
Service Department to clear away
the limbs and estimate the damage.
Many trees, undoubtedly, are so
damaged as to require removal.
Falling limbs added to the
troubles, as telephone and electric
power lines were damaged. In
some sections in the area power
was off from Is to "a hours.
Many trees. already bent low
with the weight of the wet snow,
suffered still further from a brief
sleet fall during Monday after
noon.
Joseph Henry, Street Superinten-
dent. had his full crew and snow
removal equipment, including six
plows on duty from late Sunday
afternoon 10 late Monday. Service
crews fought against all odds to
keep traffic moving, even at a
snail's pace.
East Cleveland schools were
among the few classes on Mon
day. Absences we're heavier in the
primary departments.
Tuesday afternoons sunshine,
aided by Old Sol again on We'd
nesday worked wonders in lower
ing drifts. Melted snow, water
rushing to drains, overflowed
many curbs and out into the
streets. The sun also made it pos
sible to dig out dozens of snow
bound cars.

One-Piece Look Is Better
For a Small Figure

The overblouse has put its
stamp on everything this
year from separates to eve
ming clothes. 1t suggests a
new way to wear some of your
older fashions, too. A reader
writes
Because I am stocky and
short. l look better with my
sweater tucked inside my
skirt and cinched with a neat
belt However. I seem to be
the only one who does this.
Am l right in feeling will
look badly proportioned and
dunpy with sweaters out
side?
Often it is difficult to-
change a set way Of doing
things and this is why so
many of us take a long time
to try new fashions. Actually.
l believe if you were to wear

the skirt. you would appear
as trim as if it we're a one
piece dress. Try this with a
matching belt too-or no belt

effect. To avoid a dumpy
appearance choose skirts with
nicely f1ared lines instead Of
straight ones or those gath
cred at the waistline.
I will be soloist at a we'd
ding soon and wonder if I
must dress formal as the
guests. I would like to wear
a black tweed suit and if this
is appropriate will yopsug-
gest accessories to wear with
it.
I believe since you are not
invited as a guest you do not
have to dress as formally as
others present at the we'd
ding. You would. however.
feel out of place if you are
dressed too casually and for
this reason l think YOU
should wear simple afternoon
clothes-perhaps a soft wool
or silk dress or soft suit OF
course. if you must wear the
black tweed suit you can
dress it up with a white satin
blouse and black velvet beret.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER IA, 1857 n
CONGRATULATIONS, SENATE

THE AIR THESE days is full of such descriptive
terms as "willful minority and the like, which is more
descriptive Of a condition which exists than any group
as such. Though the special session Of the Senate is now
history, the enjoyable flavor of a group OF responsible
elected officials conducting their affairs in a business
like manner still fingers in the mouths Of the electorate.
THIS PAPER is extremely happy about the last
session because it is our contention that the time has
$ come to put away nonsense and play our cards to best
advantage. Opposing just for the sake of opposing is
less than chi1d's play and should serve only to embar-
rass those who SO fervently devote their time and ener-
gies to this childish prank.
WHILE IT IS quite true that there are many con
ditions to be remedied; and that the Governors pro
gram and activities may not please all concerned, yet,
to expect a Utopia morning, noon, and night, is to con
fess Immediately that there is lack Of matured thinking.
THE M HAS come, too, for deeper and greater
concern for the Virgin Islands and its larger overall
problems. The machinery for the ultimate accomplish
ment of these detectives must. be set in motion, and the
sooner the better. Once this is done and the program is
under way, then there might be excursions into the
lesser matters, and a full opportunity to play" politics.
But right now there is too much to be done, and not
enough time in which to do it.
THIS LAST SPECIAL session is clear proof of the
fact there can be cooperation and understanding that
this very legislature, withaits very composition intact,
can sit down and handle itself with dignity and dispatch.
OUR FAITH IS confirmed, and there should be
great satisfaction throughout the land. It has always
been the contention in this corner that a sessionlike the
che just concluded was. possible, and it did take place.
, 1957-12-14

members of the Senate to remember that we are just
about one wolf cry away from the final call in the
well known story of the shepherd boy and the wolf. It
is time to make a check and cement our position, or GER
tainly our reputation for being a grand nuisance via the
opposition route will become firmly established.
H SENATE is to be congratulated.
