dt ouT appearance Wnen we ar
rived at work yesterday morn.
ing. And well did they have
reason to be, for the sight
greeting them was one un.
shaven, with unruly hair anG
wearing garments not befittine
an editorial executive. AS q
matter of fact you might say
we just completed an engage.
ment with . tribe Of wild Ind.
ians in the backwoods.
Well, for the edification OF
Dorothy McCracken. Katherine
Bost, AL Henderson, Robert
Murphy, ct al, that is almost
what happened to US.
1t all strated when we visited
4 meeting of the East Cleve-
land Businessmen Association
Tuesday night and unfortunate
~ ran into Bob Henderson.
He happened to have q
youngster, eleven year-old Gary,
who was out camping for the
week with the Chambers school
sixth grade. Father Henderson
was leaving for the camp right
after the businessmen's meeting
to baby-sit for some 80 youngs-
ters.
He insisted that in order to
carry on the fine work of our
predecessors it was imperative
we went along on the overnight
venture. Later on, he admitted
ne was only seeking company
Well, our adventures were
many and exciting and if you
tune in to the same paper next
week we shall recite the drama
tic events. Perhaps by then we
will have recuperated from the
ordeal and will be able to think
more clearly.
NOW 1T CAN BE TOLD!
Chief Weaver told our business
men that both the State of Ohio
and the contractors who paved
Euclid ave-, in our city were
high in the praise of the police
department for it's cooperation.
Apparently not many COM
munities put the full force at
work to maintain traffic stabil-
ity and movement as is practic-
ed here.
"WHY?" That's the name Of
q 15-minute color movie the
East Cleveland Fire department
has and is showing to various
civic organizations not only in
our town but in neighboring
communities.
The film on the tragic Our
Lady of Angels School fire in
Chicago, concerns the tardiness
in calling in the fire department
and causes of the blaze. Today,
Capt. Martin Zagorc is showing
it to the Northeast Kiwanis
Club.
OBSERVATIONS at our first
school board meeting: a clock
three hours and Is minutes slow
talso noticed by Board Member
Charles G. Hamilton); the grey
hair attractiveness of board
member Marie Madison and
clerk-treasurer Ruth NORM; the
eager P T A representatives
scribbling more notes than Il
guess who.
The map of East Cleveland
on the wall with it's geometric
circles that held us in a hypnot-
ic grasp as we tried to figure
it out; the concern of board
president Richard A. Gottron in
seeing that we were properly
introduced; the lack of suffici-
ent ashtrays trough on a GER
tain cigar smoker we know.
DEPARTMENT OF PRO-
FITS. Back in 1926, the school
board sold q lot on Elderwood,
back of the warehouse, to the
New York Central for $4,000.
Today, it is back as school pro-
perty as the railroad had no
further use for it. 1t cost the
board 500 to get it back.
DID YOU KNOW that our
city manager Charles Carran
was a national tennis champ in
his younger days; and that he
is throwing out the first ball
(bowling that isl at pre-open-
ing ceremonies at the new Shaw
Lanes at 1887 Euclid ave.
WELCOME BACK c. E. B.
Yes, our boss was in lookingE
over our shoulder yesterday
after several months absence.
He looks we'll enough and if his
critical eye is any indication Of
his well-being - he is in fine
shape.
FOUND. Helen Teal, finance
director Grant T. Apthorp'sl
girl Friday, tells us a pair Of
children's glasses and a mans
wrist watch are waiting to be
claimed in the finance depart
ment.
They are articles that we're
found at the Shaw outdoor
swimming pool.
