Penrose Girl
In Musical

Miss Mildred Knapp will give
a performance in her role of
Mae when the Broadway musi-
cal comedy hit, "The Pajama
Game" is presented by Musical
Productions, Inc, Friday, May
18th, and Saturday, May 14th,
in the Little Theatre of The
Cleveland Public Hall.
Miss Knapp who lives at 1914
Penrose ave-, is not a newcomer
in the field of musical comedies
and operettas, as she appeared
in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The
Gondoliers', and her fine per-
formance as Nine. Nish in "The
Merry Widow" was one Of the
highlights.
Not only is Miss Knapp's tai
ents enjoyed by the theatre
audience but she has a c
proved to be an efficient secre.
tary, recently being elected to
that office for a third term.

He pointed out that COM

Even with the compressor

One compressor tube, which
failed, was torn down and re-
built by experts. However, a
whine has been discovered in
two other tubes and they are
now being checked. All ele-
ments of installation are being
inspected to determine what is
wrong Mr.. Carran assured.
"We do not want to operate
it until it is completely fixed
for fear of anot her break
down." he said.
Besides compressor trou-
BILE, the uncovered rink has
sun trouble" Mr.. Carran ex-
planned. Regardless of the
temperature, the sun beating
down on the ice causes it to
melt and the cold tempera-
ture at night, together with
the electrical equipment, is
not sufficient to refreeze it
to the same original smooth
ness.
The end section of fence,
which acts as a reflector for
the sun, will be replaced with
a link fence. A canopy netting
is being considered as an over
head protection against the
suns rays. Objections to put
ting a roof over the rink are

outdoor principle, said the City
Manager.
Barring any unforeseen COM
plications, "the rink will open

1icted Monday when the rink
question was put to him.
In 1859, the rink closed Feb.

House CLEANING
Keeps Pick-Up
Trucks On Run

The response to the clean
up campaign has been so great
that the City had to add four
more trucks to the pickup de-
tail. Forty callers Friday (the
first day of the campaign)
asked the City to collect items
from their homes.
Administrative assistant She.
Schweikert said few callers
reported conditions around the
city which they felt needed
some attention.
A cavalcade of soap arrived
last week and sponsors of the
Greater Cleveland Clean up
campaign presented City Man
ager Charles Carran and Clean
up campaign chairman Emil
Macha with a decorated broom
and a bar of soap.
The official finish of the
campaign is Saturday. How
ever, residents were urged to
keep the diligent work up all
year round by Commission
President Frank Fellows who
said, "All citizens and organi-
cations taking part in the prof.
ect will contribute to the bet
terment of the Community"
In keeping with the tradition
al tidiness of East Cleveland,
residents can be seen moving
their lawns, repairing roofs,
wedding their gardens, edging
their walks and an assortment
of other outdoor jobs which inn
prove appearances.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Dute Arrows

A frequent question is why
some earlier United States
silver coins have small arrows
on each side of the date.
This distinctive marking
was first used from 1853 to
1855 with half dimes. dimes,
quarters and half dollars so
marked. The purpose was to
indicate a reduction in the
silver content of the coins.
The reason the reduction be-
came necessary makes an in
teresting story.
In our early coinage a silver
dollar contained a dollars
worth Of silver and the smaller
denominations contain d
equivalent weights. For some
years before 1853. silver prices
increased relative to gold,
bringing the value Of a silver
dollar or a dollar in full
weight smaller coin to about
$l.O3.
With the metallic value of
silver coins greater than face
value, such coins disappeared
from circulation and only
badly worn domestic or for
eign silver was left to carry
on everyday commerce. Esti-
mates are that more United
States silver coins were
shipped to foreign countries in
1881 and 1852 than were
coined in the preceding 20
years combined. The entire
Nation was being stripped Of
sound coins with no relief in
sight.
In 1853 the weights of silver
in coins from 5 cents to so
cents in face value were re-
duced by about z per cent
and the arrows were added at
the dates for this and the next
two years to denote 1.-THE
change. No reduction. how
ever. was made in the silver
content Of the dollar.
From 1853 to 1855, minting
Of coins with arrows ran very
high. especially for quarters,
dimes and half dimes. In
fact, during these three years
