Six Major
City Jobs
This Year

The year 1857 is going to be a
busy year for the city's Engineer
ing Department, and consequently
add much to the city's general well
fare and recreational opportunities.
At least six major projects are on
the boards, awaiting favorable
weather to get underway.
in addition there are the con-
tinuing programs which keep extra
summer crews on the jobs for the
Engineering Department and its
Fairgrounds and Parks, Forestry
and Sidewalk Divisions.
Here are the jobs that will mean
much to the city's wellbeing for
years to come, many of them being
made possible through two bond
issues given the overwhelming sup
port of the electorate last year:
l. City Hall addition.
2. Fire Station No. / addition.
3. Removal of existing wall,
erection of new wall and widening
of pavement at the southwest
corner of Superior and Euclid aves.
4. Wreck city houses on Beers
ford Place Ito provide parking area
for City Hall) and on Shaw ave.
Ito clear site for new Playground.
5. Proposed relief sewer from
Woodworth ave-, from Hayden to
East 144th st.
6. Shaw ave. playground devel-
opment; drain and grade site; lay
out and build two baseball dia-
monds, parking lot, building and
ice skating rink, fence, small chill
dren's playlot, Bruder place, Colt rd.
Estimated costs in each of the
above listed projects cannot be de-
termined until each bid is in.
One of the first jobs to be given
attention is completion of the 900
completed Locker House at Shaw
Field Pool. Scheduled for compile
tion last August, delays were due
to a steel strike and subsequent un-
forseen circumstances. 1t is ex-
pected to have the building ready
for opening of Shaw field early
in June.
One of the continuing projects
is that of sidewalk repair. Each
Spring a field survey determines
the location and amount of repair
needed. Property owners are no.
titled and given the choice of hav-
ing the work done or turning it
over to the city, which lets the job
out on contract. Payment is due 80
days after completion, condition
taken advantage of by 909o of the
property owners. The other 1919
find the cost on their next tax bill,
with 1870 added charge.

There are seven Continue to"
on the summers agenda for the
city's Forestry Division. Each
deals with trees, directly or in
directly.
The city viii continue TO check
the condition of its own trees and

The city has 1,943 elms on it's
streets and $40 elms in its parks,

Of disease.

city-owned diseased elm trees and
property owners removed IA; 28
trees of all varieties were re-
paired; and 1861 trees of all kinds
were sprayed. Crews trimmed 664
trees.
Each summer more trees are
planted than are removed, last
year I'll Columnar naples, Cleve-
land naples and American Hop
thornbean trees were set out on
tree lawns. All trees now being
planted are the new varieties

Full Cooperation
Spells Success

1t has been said that PTAs have
way of starting in high gear in
the elementary grades, gradually
losing speed as they pass each
milestone along the way, and
running out of steam as they coast
into Senior High.
Shaw High PTA went long
way toward disproving this theory
Saturday night when they staged
their Parent Teacher Student
dance. Every family represented
at Shaw, around nine hundred in
all, was phoned by a committee
member and requested to support
the dance. When told that the pur-
pose of the affair was to arouse
interest in and support Of Social
Room, the response was practically
unanimous. The final count isn't
in yet, but figures to date indi-
cate that more than $500 will
start a fund to equip this
facility when it is made available.
Following the phone contact,
members delivered the tickets to
the homes. An estimated $50 miles
Of driving was involved in this
undertaking.
A number of factors contributed
to the overall success of the dance.
These were complete cooperation
of the school administration;
Rhythm Teens; Bob Wilson; the
enthusiasm of Shaw Student
Council, the student body and cam
teen committee. Publicity in the
East Cleveland Leader played a
most important part. From the
PTA standpoint, the efforts of
Budd Andrews and his committee,
which consisted of the entire board,
put the project across. Sparked by
Marion Swift, who organized the
phoning and made assignments,
the contacts were made.
An official PTA farewell to the
graduating 12As, and welcome to
the incoming Jobs was part Of the
evenings festivities.

Cure

IT'S AS TRUE that everybody hiccups as 1t Is that
i everybody has at least one remedy, plus two or
three In reserve Sometimes q remedy works:
sometimes It doesn't But In almost all cases the
hiccup goes away sooner or later with little more
discomfort than social embarrassment Yet, say
the medics all the pet household remedies could
be thrown away and the result would still be sub
stantially the same. This doesn't faze sufferers
from trying to control hiccupS-spasmodic con-
fractions of the diaphragm-by such unscientifc
methods as chewing wax candle, Dreaming
through handkerchief, depressing the tongue
with spoon, pinching the nose, drinking glass
Of water while bent double, blowing into paper
bag raising hands over head while holding breath,
sucking q lemon drinking two glasses OF water at
the same time, or asking friends to hit them on
the back or brighten them out OF the attack, and
so on. This list doesn't begin to exhaust the num-
Der of cures in style but it does suggest the variety
Of approaches used.
PhysiologicaIly, hiccups are cured when diff
ferent nerve reaction pattern Is established from
the one that set the hiccups going. Therefore, all
Of the remedies might work. providing they cause
the body to react differently But so would almost
anything including doing nothing.
Most often hiccupping Just cures itself. After
a few minutes the diaphragm stops tw1tching ana
the familiar hic and jerk cease. In rare cases
where hiccupplng Is prolonged. as In the a1lment
of Pope Plus while back, there Is actual danger
to the person since the spaSmS weaken the sufferer
and interfere with intake Of food Then the doctors
step In After careful examination which includes
fuoroscopic observation to make certain no foreign
objects are causing the trouble and that no dam
age has been done to the tissues the doctors use
one Of the very few scientific cures They admin
lister an injection Of thorazine The drug, mem
Der Of the tranqulzer family, presumably acts to
depress that part Of the brain which sends the
hiccupplng impulses along the nerve nets to the
diaphragm With that the hic has usually cupped
its last.
