Improvement
Effort Given
Hard Blow

Every town is always ii
need of community spirited
citizens, and when a resident
does everything possible to i'm
prove and add to the appear.
once Of his property, he should
be given every cooperation.
Certainly the planting of five
trees on one property is a big
step toward A City Beautiful,
When two of these trees are
damaged needlessly, the prop
erty owner has just cause for
complaint.
Such is the case with Miss
Grace Archer, owner of a dou-
BILE dwelling at 1915 Lakefront
ave. Within the past few
months Miss Archer had plant
ed three Idaho locust trees at
a cost Of $500 and two flow
ering crabtrees at cost of
$4,000. She was taking the best
of care of the new trees, three
along one side Of the house and
the crabs in the front yard.
Saturday evening an uniden-
titled persons on malicious mis-.
chief bent, cut the top off one
of the young crabtrees. just
previous to that one of the To-
Gusts was damaged.
"What possible incentive can
there be to help make East
Cleveland as beautiful as its
administration if efficient, in
the face of such deliberate
damage?" one asks.
But a few weeks ago new
trees planted at Skating Rink
Park were deliberately de-
stroyed. Neighbors will do their
city a favor by reporting any
one seen damaging any prop
erty anywhere. It's a practice
that must be halted.

August 1858 is most excit-
ing August for the typically
American family that calls 1921
Helmsdale ave. home. Mr.. and
Mrs. II. w. Lyndall jr., son
Ward and daughter Anne have
widened their family circle to
include the ATS 1858 Shaw
student, Hiroshi Shibata, a IT,
year-old lad from Kobe, an i'm
portant port Of Japan.
Hiroshi is doing very we'll
fitting himself into an entirely
different environment and, say
the family, have helped them to
keep life moving normally. IT
might be expected that food
would be a problem but Hiroshl
claims he has an international
stomach" and proves it by a Sec
ond helping of corn, and enjoy
ment of all meals. Potato chips
is one of the few really new
ones, he says.
Hiroshi is eagerly anticipat-
ing attending Shaw and is look
ing forward to participating in
a choral group. In Kobe the
terms start in January, April
and September, with two weeks
vacation in the Spring and Fall
and six weeks during the sum-
mer.
The Japanese are fond of
gift-giving and this trait has
meant a goodly number of gifts
for the Lyndalls from the is
land home of their second son.
Beautiful woods, delicately
carved, four exquisite panel
sketches, kimonas and decorated
fans for Mother and Anne, and
"just" fans for Father and
Ward are but a few Of the
mementos.
Ward arrived home Sunday
from a summer at camp and

Asks Tax Cut On
Single Dwelling

Single home owners who
spend up to $500 in year for
repairs to their property would
be able to deduct the cost from
their income tax under a pro-
posal submitted to the House
Ways and Means Committee
by Rep. Frances P. Bolton.
Mrs. Bolton suggests that the
committee take favorable ac-
tion to amend the Internal
Revenue Act accordingly.
In a letter to Rep. Wilbur
d. Mills, the committee chair
man, Mrs. Bolton pointed out
that owners Of multiple dwell
ings are permitted income tax
deductions for repairs while
the single home owners are not
given the same consideration.
The proposal, states Mrs. Boil
ton would also serve as an in
centive to single home owners
to maintain their properties
and. also serve as a boost for
business.

An entirely new approach to
safer driving is being launched
in the State of Illinois under
the Sponsorship of its governor,
William G. Stratton.
Stratton, believing that a
driver of motor vehicle has
a moral as we'll as legal re-
sponsibility for safe driving,
has enlisted the aid of religious
leaders to conduct a campaign
to stigmatize reckless and care
less driving as a "m o a
wrong" The campaign will be
observed this weekend and the
results were be watched by
Safety Councils, Traffic Safety
Divisions, and religious lead
ers elsewhere.
