In East Cleveland


1t is getting that time of the
year when everyone is back
from vacation and club activ-
tiles commence. We would like
to hear from all the organiza-
tions in East Cleveland-what
their programs for the coming
year will be-what activities
are being planned and so forth
and so on.
1t is our intention to start
both club and personal columns.
However, to make such an en-
deavor a success, we need the
assistance of the presidents or
publicity chairmen of each
group. Let us know what is 60
ing on in your club and we in
turn will use our columns to
pass the information on to the
news-hungry populace.
DO YOU KNOW there is one
person in East Cleveland you
can bang your car into and get
away scott free! We were
tempted to try it ourselves, but
believing that discretion is the
better part of valor, decided to
take Judge Stanton Adams
word. He tells us how his car is
out of commission due to being
struck in the rear and being
bounced around so that he
wound up on someone's tree
lawn.
Yet, when the lacl gendarmes
--aghast that anyone should
have the audacity to even so
much as scrape some paint off
His Honor's Olds, let alone
practically knock him into
Summit County-attempted to
haul the culprit away, our hero
lifted a staying hand.
"Nay," said the good judge.
"Thou shalt not shackle this
person, for who shall preside
at his trial? Not l, for my body
aches and I fear he would not
get a just hearing"
"Let our solicitor claw direc-
tori condemn this william" was
the frustrated reply of the
police.
"Nay," (again) retorted the
good judge, "unhand this man
and set him free"
Judge Adams readily admits
he is in that type of predica-
ment of not wanting to try any
case involving himself.
DISGUSTED! Yes we are
with the so-called "big" news
papers downtown when in ref
erence to East Cleveland, lately
the have used such words as
"aging" or deteriorating." The
inference our big brothers
would like you to believe is that
East Cleveland is going to pot.
We strongly chastise them
for that t. One newspaper
pointed out an overflowing
refuse can as a hint of deterior-
alton.
Well, we've seen many, many
overflowing refuse cans in the
editorial room of that same
newspaper.
BRIGHTER NOTES! Sue"
Bienasz and Don Fortune ex-l
ecutive directors of the WV
and YMCA respectively are back
from two weeks at camp with
their desks piled high with
work. Both have exciting fall
and winter programs scheduled
for youngsters and adults alike.
We asked them how was
camp. They said fine; they both
had "real good young people"
to work with.
Now, maybe we should go
out and talk to the young
people" and get their side of
the story.
CUTS! We watched Shaw
scrimmage against St. Joseph
Saturday and were gleeful with
what we saw. Coach Don
Drebus can be proud of his
charges for they put on a good
show. The team showed rug
pedness, courage and intelli-
gence in slightly besting a fine
competitor.
WE HOPE our dramatization
on this page of what could hap
pen if your youngster doesn't
lse the crosswalks has some
effect. We are indebted to the
East Cleveland police depart
nent for allowing us to use .
