Perhaps it's the cool. refresh
ing autumn breeze or mayb,
it's just that time of the yeal
to work harder. For example
the kiwanis Club group i
busily engaged in preparing fol
its annual and highly successful
talent show;The Lions Club ha.
an extensive membership driv,
on and the Exchange Club i
planning an annual jaunt mex
weekend to the wilds of Penn.
sylvania in the search fol
Christmas trees.
AWAY AT A MEETING
is Nelson Leist, assistant to the
Superintendent Of Schools. He
is attending conference OF
the National Association oil
School Business Officials ir
ST. Louis.
= GOING AWAY soon will be
School Board member Charles
Hamilton who was elected tC
represent the school system at
the fifth annual joint confer
ence OF the Ohio School Boards
Association, Admin r a tors
and Business Officials, in
Columbus next month.
WE ALWAYS admire those
who sacrifice modern luXuries
to attend public meetings. Our
only concern is that we do moi
see enough people at these
sessions. True if a disputed
issue comes up, citizens aplenty
will attend meetings. However,
whas about xhe routine affairs
where important decisions are
constantly being made, Yet are
done without fuss or fanfare ?
We feel it is just as important
that citizens get to these meet
ings as well as the three-ring
circus sessions.
Therefore, We take pride i'll
mentioning several who attend
ed Monday nights school board
meeting as PTA representa-
tives. Hats off to Mrs. Earl
W&der, Caledonia; Mrs. Ruth
Klfmowski, Prospect; Mrs. Carl
r. Strassnoffer, Mayfair; and
Mrs. Robert T. Mcnamara,
PTA clnncil. .
ANOTHER MOUTH to feed
is the case with Don Fortune.
executive secretary of the
East Cleveland YMCA. His
wife, Elaine gave birth to a
third son at St. Lukes. The
youngster weighed in at
eight pounds, one ounce. Moth
or. son and father are reported
doing fine.
We hope the naming trend
will be of no significance to
the school years of the three
youngsters. For some reason
they have first names begin
ming with 3D." Yes, there is
David, 6 and 4 half; Duane,
three and now two-day-old
Dean Warren Fortune.
WE LEARNED from Capt.
Robert Troyan, in charge of
uniformed police that the GE
strike, along with the Huron
Road Hospital walkout depleted
normal patroling of the city
some 40 per cent.
He explained that there are
IL men, aside from traffic duty,
assigned to a shift. Of this four
have 4 day off leaving seven
the city.
Now three are assigned to
Nela Park for the duration OF
the strike, plus a lieutenant and
sergeant, and there were two
officers stationed at Huron
Road for the two days of
picketing.
STARTING NEXT week,
there will be an extensive drive
on in support Of the TT mill
tax renewal levy. Since this isl
a renewal, it means no increase
in present tax rate, but on the
contrary due to a drop in the
bond debt will mean q slight
decrease in the school tax rate.
We would like to 60 on rec
ord now land will have more
TO say later on the issue) as
being in favor of this renewal
and will do our utmost to pro-
mote IL. What with the world
wide emphasis on education,
East Clevelanders as well as
throughout the ma
ton can't afford to let the
down.
FINALLY! It's United Ap-
peal time again and we can be
fortunate in having one drive
that will cover SO many worth
while agencies. Give generously:
