Serial Number
Link Receivers
Stolen Horn

"The serial number did it"
commented Captain Patrick
O'Malley of the East Cleveland
Police Department Detective
Bureau, Tuesday, in reporting
the recovery of a trumpet and
a clarinet stolen here December
10Th, 1857 from the Hayden
Music Co., 1923 Hayden ave.
The trumpet turned up Mon
day in a pawn shop at 1908
Cedar ave. 1t had been brought
in by a tavern keeper, who when
questioned, said he had pur-
chased the instrument and a
clarinet from an unidentified
customer in December. He still
had the clarinet.
Through a system by which
pawned items carrying serial
numbers are checked against
serial numbered stolen items,
police are able to recover much
stolen loot. Because Of this,
Captain O'Malley emphasizes
the Importance Of keeping a list
Of all items having serial
numbers.
The clarinet was returned to
the music store by Captain
O'Malley. The company will
pick up the trumpet at the pawn
shop.

Forty years ago Hayden
Square was considered the out
skirts of Cleveland. Into this
neighborhood came a small
group of Lutherans who were
eager to have a church in this
area.
From this small group that
had met in the old Atlas
Theater under guidance OF
Grace Church, came the first
parishioners of Faith Evangeli.

Hayden ave. and Glenside rd.
On Sunday, October 5th, this
congregation will observe its
fortieth anniversary.
Eleven men from the neigh.
borhood met on October 9th

City Loses
Zone Case;
10 Appeal

In a 21-page opinion handed
down Wednesday, October 9Th
by the District Appellate Court,
the city was the loser in an eff
fort to maintain an apartment
status on the rear of the Wal
worth property, Euclid ave-,
west of Wymore ave. The court
held there was abuse of dis
cretion in the city's zoning
ordinance.
City Manager Chas. A.
Carran Immediately announced
the city will carry the case to
the Ohio State Supreme Court.
The case grew out Of denial
by the Zoning Board of Appeals
to a request Of the Killeen
Realty Co. to rezone the rear
of the area to retail use. The
Euclid ave frontage is zoned
for retail. Purpose of the re-
quest was to permit the erec-
ton of supermarket with ade-
quate parking, on the site.
Among the objections listed
by the city was the problem of
increased traffic in a main
thoroughfare already too heav-
lily travelled; and the large num-
ber of unoccupied business
facilities in the city; and the
fact that the neighborhood is
a neighborhood of apartments.
The Killeen Realty has leased
the site from the Walworth
Estate.
The city engaged Roland A..
Baskin as associate counsel to
it's own Director of Law,
Stanley Webster, in setting up
its case.

Lighting Dean
Retires From GE

Eugene w. Commery, super
visor of residential lighting
applications for the General
Electric Large Lamp depart
ment retired October 1st. AT
65 he has had more than AZ
years of service at Nela Park.
Few men have given more
to the development and utiliza-
tion of the unrealized beauty of
modern light than Commery,
known throughout the world as
an authority on residential
lighting problems and their so
lutions. His skill is also valued
in the field of television. His
books on home lighting have
eliminated in the most widely
read publications for laymen.
Long a resident Of Shaker
Heights, the family now plan
to reside in a new home in Key
Biscayne, Fla, where the light
ing expert will have more time
to devote to his avocation, mod
ern music. He is an accom-
plished pianist.

Injury Ridd|ed
Cardinals Face
Euclid Friday

Down but far from out, the
Cardinals of Shaw will be out to
even their mark in the Lake
Erie League when they play
host to Euclid's undefeated
Panthers on Friday night.
This is the week that Shaw
is due to be "up" if the 1868
season record to date holds true.
Since opening the season in
a blaze of scoring against
Brush, the Cards have found
their efforts falling into a
pattern.
The Brush verdict was fol-
lowed by a hard-luck loss to a
perked up Collinwood team.
Coach Don Drebus did a bit
OF shuffling and the Shaw lads
responded with an upset victory
over a good Sandusky squad.
Last week, the highly touted
Parma Redmen invaded and
managed to squeak through
with Go verdict. However, in
the process the west siders
added further woes to Coach
Don Drebus and his boys as the
injury list grew to seven for
the season.
Shaw's misfortunes along in
the injury line hit early in the
Parma game as Captain Dick
Vaughn sustained a dislocated
elbow the very first play of
the game.
AS mentioned, the pattern"
may just be the medicine needed
by the Cards to bring about a
victory.
BY the record, Friday is
Shaw's turn to win.
"We've been doing a lot of
shuffling of personnel this
week" said Coach Drebus, "and
whether or not our efforts will
jell in time for the Euclid game
remains to be seen."
Defensively the Cardinals
have faired we'll but the big
problem remains with the
offense.

Dick Vaughan are guard Mark

NO retirement plans yet!
This was the reaction we got
this week when questioning
Richard Vago, junior at Shaw
High about his Leader route
that covers the Savannah Poto-
mac-Northfield area.
Being National Newsboy
Week, we selected Richard as
one Of our typical carriers in
East Cleveland.
Also it was noted that the
Shaw student is one of the older
carriers in years of service and
naturally we were interested in
his association with our paper.
"Since / first started carry
ing the Leader, l found the
walking helped keep in shape"
said Richard Especially now
that l have put forth my eff
forts in athletics at Shaw.
At present, Richard is on the
varsity football squad at Shaw,
eager to make good as an end.
He also plans to continue his
efforts with the Cardinals in
basketball and track - where
leg work means a great deal.
A conscientious carrier, Rich
sfd is somewhat concerned that
his customers might be upset
because they get their Leaders
a little late on Thursdays.
81 try to rush home right
after practice to deliver my
papers and hope the readers un-
derstand" said Richard.
We might add that actually
he has no cause for concern. In
all the years that Richard has
been delivering our paper =
complaints have been few, if
any.
The son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
julius Vago of 1923 Orinoco,
he is active in church activities
at st. James.
His Leader route together
with several other odd jobs has
helped swell his "college kitty.
Getting back to football, a.
situation came up that could
have been more serious than it,
turned out. While Richard is
strictly for the Cardinals, some
goot natured kidding developed
in the Vago household.
Mr.. Vago is a former Parma
athlete.
The Redmen managed to win
last Friday but Richard quick
ly noted "we'll get them next
year,.
And he probably can help the
cause having one more year of
eligibility with the Cardinals.
Thanks to Richard and all Of
the Leader carriers for your
fine cooperation in seeing to it
that our paper is delivered to
every home in East Cleveland
