1t doesn't seem many years
ago that Ann Caroline Roper,
and her brother Frank Carson
Roper (now a lieutenant) lis
tened enchantedly to "Tales of
The Arabian Nights" Little,
then, did they dream that some
day one Of them would be see
ing 1858 versions of Ali Baba,
genies, or Caliphs and Magic
Carpets Of Baghdad. But fate
has a way of decreeing strange
career destinations, and today
the former little girl, now
turned Foreign Service Off
Ger, transmits eerie sights and
strange tales, as she sees them,
from the American Embassy
in Iraq.
In letters home Miss Roper
describes traffic problems as
unbelievable" T he Arabic
driver assumes no responsible
ty. Pedestrians are to be missed
at any cost, especially since
they are usually leading two
cows and three sheep, and car
rying a five-gallon jug on their
heads. Passing on both sides,
or showing off the road are
cricket. No traffic lights or
stop signs regulate intersec-
eions. Just blow the horn for
all you are worth, and charge
through.
One day, group Of Embassy
personnel miraculously lived to
tell the story Of how their
chauffeur was weaving down
the middle Of the street when
a truck loaded with soldiers
passed on the right, cut them
off to get to the left lane, had
a blowout, and pushing them
over cut into the dividing grass,

Ham Operator Brings Happiest OF
Christmas To Nom Of Korea 6. !.

"Dear Nom. Arrived safe
Korea. Will write as soon as
have a permanent address,"
This most welcome message
relayed to Mrs. Lou A. Marti-
neau, 1879 Elderwood ave
Tuesday by Mr.. j. E. Erickson
GAL Caledonia ave., "ham'
fan, was the first word she had
received from her son, Pvt
Gene Martineau since Novem-
Der 10Th. On that day he phoned
her from a West Coast station
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1958-12-18

to say that he would not be
home, as expected, for Thanks
giving or Christmas. He was
ION his way out, destination un-
known"
Mr.. Erickson picked up the
message through a ham opera
tor in Cincinnati. He immedi-
ately called Mrs. Martineau. 81
was so happy to hear from Gene
and that he was safe, ! cried
she exclaimed.
Gene, a Shaw High School
1868 graduate enlisted for a
four year Army stretch in July.
He wants his service duty over
before he goes on with plans for
college in preparation to teach
English and coach basketball.
At Shaw, Gene played for
ward with the Varsity and was
interested in dramatics. "He
lived, ate, dreamed basketball"
his Nom says.
At Fort Benning, where he
has been stationed, Gene
bagged 10 points in his first
game with the Ft. B team. 1t
was game high. He hopes to
continue playing his favorite
game while in the Army, in ad-
dition to study, having signed
up for four year courses.
Gene won't be h o m for
Christmas, but his message
coming through space to be
picked up by "hams" makes his
family very happy. Instances
such as these, say the ham op-
orators, add to the thrill of
their hobby.

ager, ChaS. A. Carran.
This is about $55,655 over
and above the estimated 81 $780,
585 to be spent in 1858. 1t is
also an increase of $351,412 in
the period from 1866 when the
expenditure was listed at ST.
O26, ,s2S.OO.
A public hearing on the esti-
mate, on which the 1859 budget
will be based when finally
adopted along about mid-year,
will be held Tuesday, December
30th in the commission cham
Der, City Hall.
High points making for in
creases this coming year, ac-
cording to G. T. Apthrop, di-
rector Of finance, is the new ad-
dition to city hall. 1t is esti-
mated that the added costs in
maintenance, heating and light
ing will amount to between
$4,000 and $1,000 a year.
Salary increases, according to
Apthrop, are minor, being
more in the way of adjustments.
Salary increases for all city
employees were made in March
of 1858.
Another increase and this
one, explains the finance di-
rector, is also general through
out the state. This is the mount
ing cost Of city relief. East
Cleveland has always had a low
Relief Load, but within the past
year this has been steadily on
the increase. A year ago the
city appropriated $500 for re-
lief. Tuesday night the Com
mission transferred from it's
General Fund an added $1,5000I
to balance the fund for the
year.
The Relief Fund for 1859 is
estimated at $13,S3O of which
$3.50 will come from State
Taxes and $4,000 from the city.
However, the city expects to
meet a deficit in this fund,
based on current trends.
The 1858 estimate will be dis
cussed further in next weeks
issue.
Since this will be the first
full year Of operation of the
city's artificial ice rink on
Shaw ave., tax payers may be
interested in knowing just what
costs are estimated as neces-
sary for this outdoor recreation
spot. The figures are as fol-
lows:

Let US be silent for a little

This holy night;
Let US go out where the silver

Hang still and white
And let us find His star, and
stand beneath It's drenching
light.
And Oh, think if we wait,

That star will pour
A radiant silver light along

The city is aglow with
Christmas. Streets, stores,
dwellings reflect the spirit Of
the season. Nela Park is at
tracing its thousands. Forest
Hill residential section is at
tracing its hundreds. A tour
about town when shadows fall
food for ones soul. Christmas
Sunday is a beautiful day.
Churches are decked with
greens and flowers, shining
stars and lights, pastor, choir
and laymen have joined in pre-
pairing a worship service befit-
ting a King. No matter how
busy one is, one should spend
an hour in worship in the
church. 1t will prove the most
precious hour Of your Christ
mas.
Each year the city places a
tree in front of City Hall. This
year, with less room than ever
before, the most beautiful of
evergreens, all atwinkle with
colored lights, stands it full 25I
feet tall. 1t probably is the most
beautiful Christmas tree the
city ever had, thanks to its
tree man, Bill Robertson who
selected it.
What's in q name? Every
thing. It's about the only thing
a person has. Folks don't like to
have their names wrong,
neither do reporters, but it hap
pens sometimes, since reporters
just can't know all the names.

Sunday evening one lone car
parked on Euclid, just west OF
Wymore ave, was the cause of
a lot of traffic trouble. Cars
would come along in the south
curb lane, only to be brought to
a "dead end" in back of this
lone parked car. The second
lane eastbound traffic was a
line. Occa-
a more courteous driv-
er in that lane, would give these
curb bound cars chance to get
put. Most of the drivers, how
ever, were too engrossed with
their own delays to make an
for the trapped" line.
We hope this was not an East
Cleveland car. East Cleveland

visitors. We should make their
coming as pleasant as possible.

.Laborites Win
Another Seat in
British House

GLASGOW. Scotland, Mar.
IA R.-Conservative voters
stayed home yesterday and
gave the opposition Labor
Party another seat in Britains'
House Of Commons. It was the
governments second straight
defeat at the polls in a month.
After a campaign in the
Kelvingrove district of Glas-
gov fought primarily on do
nestle issues. Mrs. Mary Nc
AliSter, the Laborite candidate,
polled 1920 votes to $3.50 for
her conservative opponent. Mrs.
Walter Elliot. David Murray,
a Scottish Home Rule candi-
date polled 1922 votes and in
dependent Laborite william
Park 587.
Mrs. Elliot's husband, who
died two months ago. had held
the Kelvingrove seat in Com
mons since 1925 except for the
five years after the 1945 labor
landslide. Mrs. Elliot, a Brit
ish delegate to the 1854 United
Nations General Assembly, is a
prominent worker in the Con-
sentative Party.
Still Has Safe Margin
The defeat left the govern
ment party, still with a safe
margin of S. votes in Com
mons, but it was more evidence
Of its unpopularity with voters
who put 1t into office and its
failure to attract new support.
In SO special elections since the
1855 general election, the
Tories have lost three seats to
the Laborites and in most Of
the others have won by re-
duced margins.
The new Tory defeat brought
the usual Labor demands for
the governments immediate
resignation. which the Con-
servatives are certain to ignore.
The government does not have
to call an election until 1860
and is hoping its policies by
then will have produced an
economic recovery sufficient to
swing the country back be-
hind it.
Mrs. McAlister is a house,
wife and member of the Glas-
gov City Council.
Rent Law Big Issue
The main issue in the cam
paign was the governments
new law lifting some rent con-
trolls. Tens Of thousands Of
