Although she Is an avid
clipper. Mrs. Speicher says
she has inherited most Of
her recipes from her mother
and mother-in-law.
MY mothers baked
beans. for instance, are
one Of Lawrence Welk's
fayorite foods. He's an old
family friend" she de-
clares.
Mrs. Speicher tells the
story when Mr.. Welk used
to broadcast from Yank-
ton, S, OAK, he would an
nounce over the air his
band was on the way to
Columbus, Nebr.. to play
for q dance and he was
looking forward to dinner
at DR.. McGowan's.
"Then he'd say. win Mrs.
MCGOWAN please have fried
chicken, baked beans and
strawberry ice cream"
she recalls. This would be
his way Of telling my
mother he was cOmins and
she would always NIX his
favorite menu for him"
she laughs.
When Mr.. Welk was in
washington recently TO
play for the musicale fol-
lowing a State dinner at
the White House he called
to inquire about her and
her family, she told me.

says she's q bit inclined to

Shaw Math
Instructor
is Honored

Mr.. Wayne Caroff, head of
the Mathematics department at
SHAW High School, has received
an appointment as a paid partici-
pant in the Summer Institute for
High School Mathematics Teach
ers, to be held at Oberlin College
June 18th to August 7th.
A nationwide project of the
National Sc ence Foundation,
this summer school gives teach
ers of high school mathematics
the opportunity to find out the
new ideas and methods of mathe-
matics teaching being developed
in all parts of the country.
Visiting professors from lead
ing colleges and universities will
present courses or give individual
lectures on various phases Of
modern mathematical theories.
The students" - all of them
teachers - then discuss methods
by which these theories can best
be presented to their own high
school classes.
The participants in the Sum-
mer Institute at Oberlin practic-
ally "eat and sleep mathematics"
for two months. They room and
take their meals on the campus,
and they are always either at
tending lectures and classes or
talking over problems in their
field with their colleagues. The
National Science Foundation pro-
vides funds both for bringing
lecturers to Oberlin, and the pay
ment to participants.
Subjects discussed are deep and
difficult. A few Of the topics are:
the intuitive set theory, the al
zebra of statements, the algebra
of sets, probability and statistical
inference, paradoxes and tautolo-
gies.
Mathematics teachers ais o.
have fun; and one of the courses
is entitled "Recreational Mathe-
matics". This consists of puzzle
type problems in which it is sup
posedly proven that one equals
zero, or that a whole figure isl
equal to one of its parts. The
catch" in such problems is al
ways there, but hidden; and itl
usually takes a brilliant student
to see what the catch is. Puzzles
of this sort are an excellent test
Of the outstanding student of
mathematics, and a real chal-
lenge for him.

longer Car
Is Problem
In Garage

Despite the fact that the
number of building permits is
sued and the cost of building
operations in East Cleveland
in 1858 were somewhat under
the 1857 marks, the types OF
both new and old construction
were encouraging. For one
thing, quite a number Of ole
buildings from sheds to hous.
es and few commercial struc.
lures were razed, adding to the
appearance of their neighbor'
hoods.
Take the item Of garages. As
motor vehicles lengthen in inch.
es, garages become cramped OF
entirely non-useable. This may
have had something to do with
the fact that Al garages were
demolished, and most of these
were the one-car type. In their
place were erected AZ garages,
many of them two-stalls, and
others going up to a five and
six stall capacity. In addition
II garages were enlarged and
otherwise improved. And a neat
garage adds it's share of a
property improvement.
During 1858 IL dwellings
and three old commercial build
ings were razed. Among these
were the dwellings on the site
at Terrace-Shaw where the
lovely new addition to Shaw
High School improves that
area. The old greenhouse at
1886 Euclid ave-, was demol-
ished by Cleveland Electric H.
Illuminating Co., which plans to
erect a new facility there.
New construction costs are
valued at $1,872,204 against
$1,318,74O in 1857 with a cor
responding &C to SO permits.
Repairs, alterations and addi-
tions, 78 permits were valued
at $9O,226. The 139 permits for
this type of work in 1857 repre-
sented an expenditure of $780,
226 against $99O,81O the pre-
vious year. OF that figure,
100000 was for continuing of
improvement at Huron Road
Hospital, all to the original
building.
Eleven new single houses are
valued at q total of about
$25O,00O.
New family units total II.
The larger construction items
included five apartments valued
at $493,00O, the CTS garage,
$206, 900 GE's new laboratory
at Nela Park, 100000; two
office buildings, $4,000, two
stores Euclid ave.) $4,000.
The largest single expansion
was to the medical building on
Forest Hill blvd, an estimated
$4,000.
