East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1958-11-13

The initial skating session
will be preceded by a brief dedi-
cation ceremony being arranged
by DR.. J. Wade Price as chair
man Of the Municipal Govern
ment Committee of the East
Cleveland Community Council.
The Council is credited with
having fostered the idea of such
a winter outdoor sport, since
the only other possible skating
was the lake in Forest Hill
Park, at the whims of the wea-
ther man.
The ceremony will include a
message from the president of
the East Cleveland City Com
mission, Mr.. Norman W. Town
send.
City Manager Carran also
announces that the rink is for
the exclusive use of East Cleve-
landers. This will include all
children attending school in
East Cleveland, whether in the
public or parochial school sys-
TENS as we'll as all children re-
siding in East Cleveland.
This regulation, it is pointed
out, is to provide room for all
local skaters at all times, since
this is a municipality operated
rink.
The rink, a standard 85x185
size, and it's accompanying at
tractive shelter house is the
first recreation completed at
the new 81 acre Skating Rink
Field on Shaw ave. Other areas
to be added include baseball
diamonds and Fairgrounds with
special emphasis on a play spot
for the small fry.
An ample parking area is
hardtopped, and ready. In fact,
it has been is use during this
years foot ball season for
games at Shaw Stadium.
Rink hours (weather always
permitting), Admission Fees
and Rink Regulations have been
set up as follows:

of calls for this book at the West
jefferson Public Library.
We did not buy this book be-
cause we have yet to read fav-
orable review of it and it was not
approved by the American Library
Association for purchase by small
Libraries. 1t is really a very con-
troversial book.
The most recent number of the
monthly publication sent to Ii
brary Trustees, calls attention to
Senate Bill No. Al, Obscene Litera-
ture, which authorizes bringing an
injunction against the possession
for sale or distribution of objec-
tionable literature.
We would not want to run a-foul
of this Senate Bill in any way,
though it does not define what is
meant by obscene literaturel
In this day of realism and call
ing spade by its name, definition
would be difficult, but we forego
the temptation to increase circu-
lation and try to avoid question
able books.
