This East Cleveland Picnic
in 1858 is something more akin
to 1858, as far as metropolitan
centers are concerned. Few, if
any 10000 cities in these
bustling times, even attempt a
town outing, let alone plan for
10000 attendance. 1t has
come to be an annual home
coming for many former resi-
dents since they know that on
that day at Euclid Park they
will meet former friends, neigh
bors and acquaintances.
While formal activities get
underway at 200 o'clock, the
many thrills and ride and fun
spots of the park viii be avail
able much earlier in the day.
First on the program being
planned by Roy Wisecup,
Recreation Director, are the
races of all kinds, concluding
with that drippy, delectable
watermelon eating contest. Oh
boy.
Next is the annual baseball
classic between the Kiwanis
ana Exchange club teams with
the winners purse going TO the
respective clubs children's well

Water And
Sewer Rates
Up 45%

Cleveland's long discussed
proposal to raise its sewer and
, water rates came to a climax
Monday night. Cleveland City
Council enacted the necessary
legislation which was signed
r Immediately by Mayor Cele-
breeze. The new rates went
into effect July 1st.
This is the first increase in
sewer rates since 1884, and
first in water rates since July
1st. 1854.
The combined sewer-water
rate for East Cleveland, under
the new rates. will be about
45Te, city officials indicate.
The first bills to carry the full
45et increase will be dated
December 1st. under the billing
schedule in effect here.
Cleveland has two water
selling services. One is direct.
providing water direct to the
consumer and billing the con-
sumner direct. The other is the
Master Meter plan under which
a suburb buys its water
through a master meter, SELL
it to its own consumers through
it's own maintained water de-
partment.
East Cleveland, tog e t h e +
with Euclid, East Lake, Cleve-
land Heights and Lakewood,
operates under the Master
Meter Plan. Therefore, these
suburbs feel the water rate
plan as put into effect is
(1) unfair, (2) arbitrary and
(3) unconscionable.
To this end they have set up.
a committee of five directors
Of law and will select COM
mittee of engineering and
financial consultants, to op-
pose the rate increase as it
now stands.

This Years
ATS Student
From Korea

Neighbor1 and friends who
drop in at the Henry Lyndall's
at 1921 Helmsdale rd., these
days are noticing an increasing
amount Of reading material in
this home Of readers. A close
look makes it apparent that
the Lyndalls, son Ward, a Shaw
10A and daughter Anne, a Kirk
ga, have become interested in
Japan. Books, magazines, PAM
phlets on the island country
seem to be the fascinating sub
ject.
Japan is the magic word. The
Lyndalls have been notified that
their American Field Student, to
whom they are opening their
home and their hearts for a
school year, is to be Hiroshi
Shibata, senior at Kobe High
School, Kobe, Japan.
Hiroshi has as his career goal,
the diplomatic service. 1t may
we'll have been this comment on
his application blank: 81 want
to help promote the cause of
peace throughout the world" "
that prompted the Rotary Clubs
Of the 365th District Rotary In
ternational to award him the
scholarship that will make him
the third ATS student at Shaw
High School. The youth also
was the recipient of his high
schools 1958-59 scholarship.
The Lyndalls need not be con-
cerned about a language barrier.
Hiroshi has studied English sew
en- hours a week for five years
He heads the Kobe High School
English Speaking Society. He is
also interested in music and
drama, and has directed drama
and choruses at his schools fes-
tivals.
In sports, the boy prefers vol
ley ball and soccer, soccer be-
ing the nearest to American
football. For years he has been
associated with the International
Pen Pals, having pen pals in
different lands. By religion, he
is a Buddhist.
Letters from Hiroshi's Junior
and Senior High School prin-
cipals speak highly of his quail
ifications scholastically, and of
his interest in world affairs.
Hiroshi is the son of Mrs.
Toshiko Shibata and the late
Koji Shibata. His father, an
engineer at the Kawasaki Dock
Yard was killed in a railroad
accident eight years ago. His
is a dressmaker. There
is a sister, 2, and a brother, g
years of age.
A fellow classmate of Hir-
oshi's will attend Chagrin Falls
High School as an ATS student
this school year.
"We feel proud to have this
youth in our home," states Mrs.
Lyndall. "We hope to benefit
by his presence and we hope he
will profit by this experience.
We are confident Hiroshi will
be a credit to this community
and to his country"

.City's First
Traffic Fatal
Of The Year

One dead. Three injured. This
is the East Cleveland traffic
toll the past weekend. The ia
tality chalked up the first
traffic death for the city since
Christmas Day, 1857.
Dead is Robert Witter, 81
of 1912 East 143rd st. His
wife, Dorothy, so, is in "fair'
condition at Huron Road Hos
pital. She has extensive facial
decorations, a possible frac
tured jaw and fractures of both
legs.
Police who investigated the
accident report that the alb
sence of skid marks and the
fact that the car brakes were
in good condition, cause them
to believe that Witter dozed at
the wheel. His car went over
the curb and crashed a utility
pole in front of 1915 Hayden
ave. He was an engineer, en-
ployed by Standard Oil Co.
The couple was enroute home
early Sunday morning.
Witter is survived by a
daughter, Mrs. Doris Brown,
his parents, MIR. and Mrs. E. ].

high court for alleged overexten-
sion of its authority.
This second attack has been call
ed "inexplicable" and "inexcus-
able" by Prof. Alexander M. Bick-
ell of Yale in the New Republic
magazine. Certainly it is unique
from such a source. But taken
with the Jenner bill it shows the
deep emotions being stirred.
It seems evident that the Su-
preme Court is aware Of the pres
sure. In the latest of its three
unanimous decisions on school de-
segregation it used a procedure be-
lieved unprecedented in the history
of the court. All nine members
signed the opinion. The hitherto
unfailing practice has been for one
Judge to write the opinion, others
to concur or dissent. This time
the name of every justice was on
the document.
But desegregation is only one of
the controversial issues. That is
the unusual feature of this quiet
but intense struggle as the nine
black-robed justices come back
again to meet in their cold marble
temple.
In former days events moved
singly. But there has been a vast
speed-up. The Supreme Court no
longer treats one or two major
issues at time. Social life is more
complex, changes are faster, deep

Home building, l am proud
to say, has made q substantial
contribution to what appears
now to be signs Of improve
ment in the general economy.
During the first seven
months Of this year, approx
mately 605,O00 new private
homes were started. The
seasonally adjusted annual
rate of starts has increased
to 100000.
These are dry statistics and
do not tell what this stepped
up pace of home building has
meant in the way of jobs and
markets in scores of COM
munities throughout the Ma
ton. Home building has
breathed fresh confidence
into the whole body of Amer
lea. I fully expect housing
starts to continue at a favor
able level throughout the re-
mainder Of the year.
A sign Of the gradual inn
provement in business con-
ditions is the increasing at
tention being given to infia-
ton. Evidence of this is
the recent increase in the
discount rate by several Of
the Federal Reserve banks.
This is the rate, or price,

which the member banks of

This tightening Of the
money reins may be partly
psychological to check in
flationary thinking and ten

hold that if the discount rate

rise in the cost Of borrowing
money may act to dampen a

For the home builder, this
would mean that money-the

would not be as available,
nor the terms as good, as at

For the potential home
