as there going to be a "first
time short of goal" for the East
Cleveland YM-YWCA Sustaining
Membership Drive on deadline
day, March 3rd? This surprising
and totally unexpected happen
ing appeared so likely that an
emergency meeting of all WV
and YMCA campaign workers
was called for last Saturday
morning. The sum short of goal
could be as much as $4,000.
Bill Cleland, chairman of the
drive called for an all-out attack
by the workers-to get out and
sell the East Cleveland YMCA
program.
At press time Cleland reported
72O Partner Members for 67.4%
of the branch goal. The county
wide campaign goal hit at 60.S%
mark earlier this week.
"Only by a sustained all-out
effort will we realize success by
next Tuesday," said Cleland.

Five Shaw
Students
Place High

Five Shaw High School SEN
iors, four boys and one girl, have
achieved high scores in the Ma
tional Merit Scholarship Quail
flying Tests as the result of two
tests, according to word received
by Wayne c. Blough, principal
at Shaw.
Reaching the finals, three stu
dents, Herbert Alexander, James
Martis and Kathryn Sisk, have
been awarded Certificates of
Merit.
AS runners up, William For
sythe and Lewis Jones have re-
ceived letters of commentator.
Both awards attest to the high
academic promise of these young
people.
Names of the Certificate of
Merit winners are being sent to
over 1900 colleges, universities
and other scholarship-granting
agencies for consideration for
thousands of other privately fl
nanced scholarships offered out
side of the Merit program.
MNSC estimates that over S5
million in scholarship for the
Freshman year alone will be
awarded these students in addi-
tion to the regular Merit awards.
The test for the 1858 Merit
Program was given to 478,991
students in 14,464 high schools.
OF this number about 10,999
were re-tested, are now Finalists
and from this group the Merit
Scholars of 1859 will be an
Inounced about May 1st.

appears not to be a lack of in
terest, but the widespread oc-
currence Of influenza and other
respiratory illnesses that have
kept regular donors all over the
greater Cleveland area from do
mating blood.
With a schedule Of 153 ap-
pointments for last Wednesday,
by the time the Bloodmobile
unit had set up it's operations,
Mrs. Joseph Klimowski, Blood
Recruitment chairman, had re-
ceived 81 cancellations due to
illness. Deferrals for not being
up to the rigid Red Cross stand
ards of good health, plus a
greater number of persons who
simply failed to show up, ac-
counted for the other potential
pints of blood that were not re-
ceived.
The overall poor collections of
blood this winter, coupled with
the unusually heavy demands on
hospitals during this fire-and-
flood period, have forced the
Central Blood bank to ration
blood to all hospitals in the
greater Cleveland area. This is
a situation which could present
a critical situation for all Of
US, as it leaves no reserve from
which to draw should future
emergencies occur.
On the brighter side of the
picture, among those who do
mated blood was Mr.. Herbert
Rice, 1855 Knowles ST., whose
donation on Wednesday COM
pleted his second gallon. "The
blood program is strengthened
by regular donors like Mr.. Rice,
who recognize it's purpose as a
personal responsibility" said
Mrs. Klimowski.
Anyone who might be inter-
ested in rebuilding the stockpile
Of blood, and who does not wish
to 60 downtown to the Red Cross
headquarters, might contact
Mrs. Klimowski as to where
the mobile unit will be in some
surrounding area.
Again, the Bloodmobile unit
will return to East Cleveland on
Wednesday, June 17th. All who
:an give blood are urged to keep|
this date in mind so that East
can do its part in
maintaining the life-giving sup
ply Of blood.

City Falls Short Of

Rationing Is Planned

Donnelly.
Once again Finance Director
G. T. Apthorp issued a reminder
to East Clevelanders that the
city has been losing over $4,000
each year on license plate sales.
The reason for the loss - i'm
proper filling in of license plate
application blanks which in turn
react on a cut in the city's share
of gasoline taxes.
Mr.. Apthorp explains, as fol
lows:
During the month of March,
thousands of East Clevelanders
will be registering their auto
mobiles as they apply for 1859
license plates. For each vehicle
registered from East Cleveland,
approximately s11.0O will come
into the City treasury from state
shared gasoline taxes and auto
license fees. For each East Cleve-
land vehicle incorrectly listed as
being in another taxing district,
the city loses this S11.00. 1t is
estimated that this very thing
happened in 1000 different in
stances last year. Eleven thou
sand dollars lost to the city!
"There is a blank on the IL
cense plate application which
asks for taking District" If
you reside in the City of East
Cleveland at the time you make
your application, be sure to use
your correct East Cleveland ad-
dress and above all make sure
you list east Cleveland" as
your taxing district.
"Why should you be so careful
in listing East Cleveland?
because you eventually may
be paying increased taxes or
rents to make up for money
which rightfully and legally
would be received by East Cleve-
land. Fifteen percent of the five
cent State tax which you pay
on each gallon of gasoline and
about thirty-four percent of the
$1,000 you pay for your license
plate is returned by the State to
the collective municipalities. The
larger proportion of vehicles
community has, the larger its
share of tax money.
"What is this tax money used
for? State law specifies that il
be used for highway and street
purpose. Here in East Cleveland
the money pays for the plow-
ing and sailing of streets during
the winter. Recent weather con-
ditions show how important these
activities are to safe, uncon-
gested driving.
"These funds also pay for the
City's street resurfacing program
carried on every summer. The
traffic control system Of signs
signals, and painted lines show
ing lanes and turns is another
highway use to which this money
goes. The balance is used fol-
street cleaning and for various
other repairs, construction anc
of East Cleveland
streets.
"To keep these vital service:
at a high level requires a con
slant flow Of money. If fund:
are not received, as they shoule
be received from the state-shareC
taxes, they must be raised local
ly from property taxes which di
rectly affect property owners ant
indirectly. through increased
rents, affect all others living il
East Cleveland. Thus you cal
see the Importance of insurinf
that your automobile is correctly
listed in East Cleveland.
