Zone Board Action
On WaIworth Lot
Re-Zoning Stands

In three hearings preceding a
regular meeting Tuesday, April
8th, the City Commission ap-
proved the three recommenda-
tions of the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
The three questions pertalned
TO amendments TO the zoning
ordinance; parking approval for
a building being remodeled; and
extension of a section of Euclid
ave. retail zoing.
In the first action, the Com
mission approved the zoning
b ar d s recommendation TO
amend its own ordinance to per-
nit the classification of some
Of the 125 uses which up to now
have been generally considered
as conditional" This action, it
was explained, is in line with
recent court decisions which
held that too many condition
al" uses affords too great a
zoning latitude.
Under the new amendments
some uses will now be prohibi-
tive; some will fall into the
seldom used Us area; and
others will come under a U-l,
u or U-3 use. The ordinance,
No. 5104 covering this action
will be found elsewhere in this
issue.
The Commission also ap-
proved the boards recommends
ton for a parking request for
/ the Vassar building, Euclid al
Nassar ave-, being remodeled
into medical offices.
The third hearing had 10 do
with the request of killeen
Realty Co. TO extend by 300 feet
the retail zoning along the
Euclid ave. frontage Of the Wal
worth property between East
ham and Wymore aves. to per-
nit the operation of a super
market. The appeal was heard
at the April 1st meeting of the
Board Of Zoning Appeals anC
rejected.
Attorney William Burton
representing the realty firm
told the Commission that every
effort has been made by the
firm to secure for the site a
use acceptable to the city, and
that the supermarket seemed

Residents Of Eastman st.

Two factors which influenced
the decision Of both the zoning

were those of traffic. and the

mittee. While the spice is be-
ing added for the May 3-14

this is also good time to plan
and to begin long range beau
tification program. Every or
ganization, every resident of
any age to cooperate, is being
recruited for the all-out, COM
munity-wide effort. This is
ONE thing that East Cleve-

of beauty, but also from the
vital standpoint of health and

 The only sensible way to lose weight is to eat less. Exercise helps mainly in keeping your muscles firm and your body in condition. But eating less does not mean to go on radical diet of one or two low-calorie items to starve the extra weight off.
 It is 9 medical fact that each of us is different in our makeup, that each of us utilizes food in varying degrees of efficiency. Therefore. every person should consult his physician before go- ing on a diet of any kind, for it may be that you should not, for reasons unknown to you, under take a diet.

everyday activities. While it IS true that obesity might be the cause, or a contributing factor, in certain ailments, only a quail fled physician can determine the rate and extent you should lose weight.
 Aside from what your own doc- tor might prescribe, there are certain things you can do right now if you have a weight prob lem:
 1. Examine your reasons for eating more. Are you emotionally upset? Are your living habits ir- regular, thereby causing irreg- ular eating habits?
 2. Make certain your diet is balanced, that it includes every day at least one food from the seven basic food groups.
 3. Don't eat between meals. Don't take that extra portion of known high-calorie foods, such as rich desserts.
 4. Maintain good physical con- dition. Mild exercise on a regular basis is probably better for you than vigorous exercise at infre- quent intervals. Walk more.
 5. If you are past 40, arrange with your family doctor to have an annual checkup and a discus sion of your eating habits.
