pool and the adjoining property
lines.
Wendell Kemerer, 1894
StrathmOre ave., was given
permission to install a kitch-
en- sink in the third floor and
bring the total occupancy to
IL people. The case had been
continued since the last zOn-
ing board meeting because of
a technicality in the records
which was Strengthened out.
The other rejected request
was that of John Opal, 1861
Belmore, who requested permis-
sion to have a couple live in a
garage suite on his property
and assist him with household
chores. This request also vio-
lates a city ordinance which
says in effect that only one
family may live in an area of
less than 5000 square feet in
a vi AL residential section such
as Mr.. Oppals.
Fred Gogalin, 14305-07 Sa-

on his garage which will bring
it 2 inches from the lot line

will be 81 inches high and 16

Each of the cases went before
the board with a minimum of
discussion and no argument. So
ended another quiet meeting of
the Board Of Zoning Appeals.

Cleveland Daily
Launches Drive
Against Week|ies

Not satisfied with the lions share of the local,
chain and national advertising of the Cleveland area
last week. the Cleveland Press invaded the suburban
field with two special sectional inserts According to
reports, the daily newspaper has divided the Greater
Cleveland into four sections and is planning
special editions for each area every Thursday.

rea every Thursday.
First areas hit were the
Heights-Southeast section and
the Southwest section. To come
are the West side and the
Northeast area. The latter will
include the territory served by
this newspaper.
We had some difficulty in OBJ
tanning a copy. Several members
of our staff, residing in the
Heights area, say the section
was not included in their papers.
1t proved to be an 18-page affair
labelled, "The Neighborhood
Press" lost in sections of the
regular edition.
Frankly we were a bit wor-
ried about the competition when
we heard that the Goliath of
Cleveland newspapers, backed
by the powerful Scripps-How-
ard chain, was planning to in
wade our field. However, after
carefully studying the initial ef-
fort of those "city fellers" we
don't feel they know much about
getting out a community news
paper. 1t lacked everything that
makes the small newspapers a
part Of the communities they
serve.
AS for advertising, they went
pretty far afield to fill their COL
umns-even to the west side.
The area advertising was COM
pletely overshadowed by the
volume of regular advertising.
The one thing the community
newspapers do is serve and
boost the advertisers in their
own territories-not the out
siders.
Then there is coverage. In the
community newspapers you buyI
SOLID, every home coverage,
whereas this new competition
had to take in areas far beyond
the natural sales territory of the
advertisers to get enough cir
culation to compete with the
hometown" papers.
For some mysterious reason,
The Press seems to be very ret
icent about publicizing it's plan
to eliminate the suburban week.
lies. Strange for a newspaper
that devotes headlines to the
fact that a sub-editor has moved
to the desk across the aisle.
There hasn't been a line in
any regular edition Of The
Press mentioning the new
"neighborhood service" AS Har-
ry Volk in The Heights Sum-
Press puts it: "The two infants
came into this troubled world
like two embarrassments born
to a middle-aged spinster."
While not publicized locally,
editions got con-
siderable space in Printers Ink,
a national publication devoted
to newspapers and advertising.
The editor Of The Press is
quoted as saying: "Our system
is distinctive because it is
geared to compete directly with
the weeklies."
Printers Ink comments: "In-
stantaneous reprisals are expec-
ed from Cleveland's weeklies
and two other big dailies, the
Plain Dealer and the News. At
'ected also are five smaller daily
newspapers on the periphery of ,
