Its Such Fun
Until Bang!

Winter brings coasting, skat-
ing and accidents.
Jay w. Bacher, 6, of 15709
Corsica ave-, caught the fourth
finger Of his left hand between
two Sleds while coasting at
Forest Hill Park, and severed
the tip of the finger. He was
treated at Huron Road Hospi-
tai.
Robert Thompson, Is, of 3773
Glenwood rd., injured his right
foot while coasting in the park

treated at Huron Road Hospi-
tai and released.
Raymond Moon, 1872 Rosa
lind ave-, had his second knee
fracture within a month in
fall on Superior rd. He is at
d-Glenville Hospital. Mr..
Moon fractured the same knee
in an auto accident in October.
There were many tumbles as
skaters flocked TO the city's
new ice rink, some because they
were learning, and others had
just been too long off such
good skating surface. Paul
Anderson, Is, 14112 Elm ave-,
required four stitches for a lac
Grafton of his left eyebrow.
Paul is a beginning skater.
Louis DeMarco, 1922 Ter
race rd., was treated at st.

Parking Lot
Pays Way Fol
C.T.S.> City

Two transactions at the Tues
day night City Commission
meeting relieved the otherwise
very serious session. In one the
Commission amended it's ordi-
nance to exempt religious and
educational groups from the
$500 fee required or sale of
Christmas trees. In the other it
enters into a new 5-year agree
ment with Cleveland Transit
Company on the operation of
the Euclid Windermere parking
lot.
When this lot was established
two years ago CTS did the
hard topping etc. and the city
supplied the meters and took
over maintenance and policing.
Now with expiration of this
sort of an experiment plan, the
city finds S3,170.63 in this fund.
1t is turning $2500 over to CTS.
The meters are paid for.
Under the new contract CTS
continues responsible for the
surfacing, the city will retain
maintenance and policing re-
sponsibilities and pay $3.50 of
meter receipts to CTS.
Commissioner Frank Fellows
suggested that some of the bal
ance could we'll be sent to pro-
vide weather protection along
the long walk from the lot to
the rapid station.
Two conferences await the
city officials. One will be with
East Ohio Gas Co. and one with
Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Co. Both concern proposed rate
increases.
East Ohio is proposing a min
imum up to 1000 cubic feet rate
of $1.50 compared to the pres
ent rate Of $1.0O. For the aver
age home owner using over 1000
cubic feet of gas the rate
would be 75c per thousand. 1t
is now 651ac. New rates would
be effective May 25, 1859.
Gel is proposing a 21a 9e in
crease as of February /, 1859
and 41a% on February /, 1880
The commissioners are being
provided with copies of the
two proposals for their study.

Site For Apartment:
Final Step In Sale

The three final steps neces.

suite apartment on land in
Forest Hill Park dedicated for
such a purpose, were taken by
the East Cleveland City Com

Prior to the meeting, a public

Invade
Friday

Cleveland Heights, with
good team, invades the Cards
court Friday evening. AS is
customary after home games
on gridiron or court, Shaw
Canteen swings into action.
With over 1000 fans out for
Shaw's opening basketball with
Collinwood last week, East
Cleveland cage fans are grow
ing in numbers. Says Bob
Louis, athletic director for
Shaw: "The fans are beginning
to appreciate the adequate ia
cilities Shaw offers it's basket
ball players and fans. Last
weeks game attracted more
students - $40 from Shaw
than any other game, and only
about half Of these ardent sup
porters had season tickets.
Colllnwood brought its larg-
est contingent of fans to help
swell the record-breaking Shaw
attendance.
And speaking of season tick
cts, Director Louis reminds that
students can still get season
ticket for the eight remaining
home games for $3.50 and still
a bargain. Adult season tick
cts at the eight home games
4or $500 is another Big sports
bargain, a two-bit saving on
each game. General admissions
at the gate are 81. Season
tickets for students and non
students can be had at the door.

The city advertised the land
for sale. On October 28th, this
year, it sold the land to the

Once again the gayest and
happiest season is here, Christ
mas. That it may be kept that
way, Fred w. Lange, chief OF
East Cleveland's Fire Depart
ment outlines the standards for
a fire-safe Christmas.
"Your Fire Department wishes
to keep Christmas a happy one
| for everyone, but it seems we
are confronted each year with
the danger of fire and some
times fatal burns to individuals
who may become victims of it's
effects.
"Each year our national fire
records show where someone is
made to suffer due to loss of
their loved ones who are VIC
tins of the hazards of careless
ly conducted candlelight serv-
ices. 1t is therefore necessary
for us to issue this warning.
"Candlelight ceremonies are
not condoned by the Fire De-
partment. Groups and organiza-
tions holding them must assume
full responsibility for any acci-
dent which might arise and
jeopardize the life and safety
of the persons taking part in
these ceremonies. Electric cam
dies are available and should be
used on these occasions if any
degree of safety is desired.
Furthermore, all decorations
must meet the following re-
quirements:
Natural trees will be per-
mitted in public places and
stores under the supervision of
the Inspecting Officer.
"Height Of trees shall not ex-
ceed ten (10) feet, without spe-
cial permission under special
conditions.
"No trees shall be permitted
in passageways or near places
of egress of public buildings,
such as theaters, churches, as
sembly halls, department stores,
schools and hospitals.
"No electric lights or electric
wiring will be permitted on or
under large trees. Lighting shall
be indirect ION very small trees,
lights will be permitted but
must be turned off when no one
is in attendance). No candles or
open flames shall be permitted
on or near trees. All Christmas
decorations must be flame
proofed to meet the require
ments Of the State Law"

The first Christmas was her
aided with music by an angelic
choir. Ever since singing has
been closely interviewer with
all Christmas observances
East Clevelanders are fortu-
nate to have in their midst a

mental group, the Shaw Rhythm
Teens. Their Christmas cal
endar is always packed as are

p. m. Tuesday, December 9th.
The Choir will again be
heard from the balcony at
Halle Bros. at 11:0O a. m. Sat-
urday, December 9Th, and East
Clevelanders shopping in town
that day may refresh body and
spirit by pausing for this mu-
sical interlude. The choir also
sings again at Public Square
at $3.50 p. m. Monday, Decem-
ber 9th. Music programs are
a daily event amid the gaily
decorated Square throughout
the Christmas season.

Thanksgivipg's blizzard and
cold brought to mind that No
vember snow storm in 1850
when IL inches of snow fell the
day after Thanksgiving (No-
vember 24th). Then another
fall on Saturday made for a
total of 2O.7 inches. This years
storm brought about a six inch
fall generally. But it was cold
and blustery and the Wise per-
son stayed close to home once
he got there.
Looking for someone to share
your Christmas joys with. Miss
Mary Loomis, assistant welfare
director in charge Of relief, says
there will be need for more bas-
kets and more clothing for the
children, this Christmas. One
may contact Miss Loomis at
MU. 1-5020.
More than 400 persons ex-
pressed their thanks for their
many blessings by attending
the union Thanksgiving Service
in st. James Lutheran Church.
This is the largest such congre-
cation in years, most hopeful
sign that the reason the Pill
grims came to this land is not
forgotten in the rush Of space
age that sometimes e m S
geared only to worldly progress.
For a relaxing evening take
yourself to Kirk Auditorium,
Friday night and note what
hilarious results follow when a
Dad expresses his belief that a
child should do the things she
wants to do. Boy, what family
crisis! And what a charming
ending.
