DISAGREE. We noted an edi.
torial in the PD Saturday child
ing us for our attitude on the
various levies and bond issues.
Of course, as we said previ-
ously, it is the easy way to
say "sure, vote for every
thing"
But, with taxes on homes so
nigh, we are inclined to pick
and choose.
We never recommend any
1shing to our readers unless we
deem it really urgent. Pen
sioners and folks on social
security are having q rough
.aime as it is making ends meet,
80 why keep increasing their
taxes.
Someday, perhaps, the state
legislature will see fit to ex-
empt part Of the valuation of
homes of pensioners. 1t would
help them a lot. That is one of
.t're reasons so many elderly
! eople find it much easier to
get along in Florida where the
first $4,000 on homes is ex-
tempted.
CONGRATULATIONS to
Robert Brownlee, Jr., a Shaw
High senior and son of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Brownlee Sr.,
of 1929 Rozelle ave. Robert
was a recent winner of a
~2,500 college scholarship
sponsored by a super-market
chain and the downtown after
noon newspaper. He won the
award for this letter to the
Cleveland Press on why people
should vote for his particular
presidential choice. His recon-
amended candidate lost, but at
least Robert has something to
show for his efforts.
:. LOST. STRAYED. OR Pat
B a M e n il, one of Shaw''s
pulchritudinous cheer leaders
lost her jacket at the football
game last Friday. 1t was an at
tractive q length reversible
affair plain red on one side
and black with red plaid on the
other with attached hood. 1t is
very important that Pat gets
her jacket back and we hope its
finder will either call us
(GL. 1-43S3) or Miss Norma
Smith at the Shaw Gym
(GL. 1-175W. Either Miss
Smith or this columnist will
be glad to pick it up.
BEWARE! For the ladies,
word of caution. A rash of
purse thefts have been COM
mitted in East Cleveland dur
ing the past several weeks.
According to Chief Weaver,
two culprits involved Zap
parantly not living in this
area) have been difficult to
track down because they do not
operate in a set pattern. They
are prone to commit their
dastardly deeds either early
morning or late evenings.
Their last robbery occurred
in the Windermere area.
The chief advises women in
the community to be wary If
they must leave home early or
be out late at night.
IT WON'T BE LONG NOW.
Good skates are looking for a
change in the weather that we
would rather not see.
However, we yield to wishes
of those hoping for a drop IN
the temperature so that the
city's outdoor skating rink
located at 14S01 Shaw can be-
gin operation.
According to Sheldon Schwei-
kert. executive assistant to the
city manager, it takes a cold
spell of nearly four days to
freeze the original ice. After
