County OKs
Euclid Job

The Board Of County Com
missioners agreed Monday TO
share the expense of repaving
Euclid ave-, from Beersford east
to Ivanhoe. The city is waiting
to hear from the state about
its Euclid ave. intentions.
The preliminary estimate of
the cost has been set at
$685. 900. The city has asked the
state to pay half of that figure
and the county to share equally
with the city the amount re-
naming.
The county therefore has
agreed to contribute $4,000 to
the resurfacing job. The state
would be in charge of the prof.
ect. Both East Cleveland and
the county would give their
money to the state for the work.
The entire pavement would be
covered with asphalt and some
curbing would be repaired.
Euclid ave. carries State
route 6 and US. route 20. The
avenue from Beersford west to
the city line is in good condi-
tion and needs no major repair
work at this time according to
city officials.

Insurance Co.
Buys Euclid
Avenue Land

A new office building will
adorn Euclid ave-, in the near
future. The site is presently a
vacant lot between the Midas
Muffler shop and the Consum-
er Cigarette & Cigar Service
Co., in the 1900 block.
The property was purchased
Tuesday by the United Insur-
ance Company of America
from Meyer and Henry Bruder,
$4,000 square feet of Euclid
ave-, frontage was sold to the
insurance company for approx
imately $4,000. The T. w.
Grogan realtors represented
the company whose regional
headquarters are in Chicago.
According to United's state
manager, S. Rafkin the pro-
posed insurance building will
house between 65 and 70 EN-
loyees with facilities for their
cars. 1t will be the Ohio state
headquarters. Their present
Ohio headquarters are at 1879
East 10Th st.
The actual design of the
building, as to architectural
style and number of floors, is
still on the drawing boards.
The Cleveland Electric Illu-
minating company owns a
large portion of the land to
the rear of the same property
which was once owned by Goff-
Kirby. The Bruder brothers
still retain approximately an
acre and half of land in the
section of the property.
Another recent East Cleve-
land real estate transaction
was the sale of the Nelacrest
Ravine Manor Inc, to the
Crestview Realty Co., for
100000 Dec. 18th. No chang
es for the year-old property
are anticipated by the new
owners.

City Revamps
Traffic Rules.
Defines Terms

When is a car parked? What
is a thoroughfare? What is a
highway? These are some of
the things the city is attempt
ing to define in its new ordi-
nance.
The new traffic ordinance Tor
rather Qualification Of the old
ordinance) has been two years
in the making. The administra-
tors hope to have it ready for
the Commission by the first of
April, according to City Mana
ger Charles Carran.
The present ordinance has
sections which are in conflict
with one another. There are
also finer points which are
hazy in their meaning. The
original law has been amend
ed so many times that it is
impractical. The new" law is
a streamlining of the old. 1t
will assure that the city's
traffic laws are in agreement
with the states. The Ordi.
nance will parallel Cleyeland's
ordinance, Mr.. Carran said.
Drivers need not fear that
they will be ensnared by a
"sneak" section added to the
new law. Driving rules will re-
main the same. Anything that
is changed will receive plenty
of advance publicity. If any new
mo parking areas" or tow away
zones are included they will be
clearly marked.
One change that has al
ready been made is the grant
ing of authority to the city
to tow away cars and charge
for their impOunding. At
present cars are only towed
when they obstruct street
maintenance or something
else vital to the city and
there has been no charges
leveled.
At this time, the city has
made no final arrangements
for a car pound because it is
not known how many cars may
be effected.
A printed copy of the new
law will be available for a small
fee to any interested groups or
individuals when the law is
passed.
Once the Commission passes
the ordinance it will take six
weeks for it to become effective.

Kirkland antique shop.
A handy man with even the
humblest Of tools, Mr.. Woost
began the job of renovating the
old wheel in time for the holi-
days. He had to fashion two
new spokes to replace those
that were missing in the wheel.
He made a new spindle by hand
and then got down to the busi-
ness of beautifying the finished
product.
AS the self made carpenter
sanded away on the base he un-
covered inscirebd within a
heart, "To Becky 12-25-67." Al
that moment the surprise gift
became even more special be-
cause Nancy Woost's nickname
is Becky. 1t was taken from her
maiden name which was
Becker.
The history Of the spinning
wheel is a matter for conjec-
ture and the Woosts look at it
every now and then and won
der aloud who and where and
when. Spinning wheels were no
longer in vogue during the mid
10Th century so there is a pos
sibility that the wheel may go
back another century or so.
The Woosts, who live at 1860
East 133rd ST. have been col
lecting antiques, polishing them
off and incorporating them into
their colonial style living quart
ers for seven years.
Although the spinning wheel
was a highlight of their holi-
days it was not the only tie
they have with the past. Mrs.
Woost delved through several
books and pieced together the
central European ideas for cele-
brating the greatest feast of
of the Christian year. And the
Woosts had what might be
called an old fashion Christmas.
In this day and age when
aluminium trees have made even
the natural spruce trees
trimmed in a variety of lights
and store bought decor seem
out-moded, the Woost's cut
their own tree and trimmed it
in ornaments which they made
themselves. The only CONNER
cial touch was their yellow
light bulbs. 1t took many hours
of patience and good humor
for them to make their cotton
snow ladies and wind metal
scraps around pencils for the
tinsel effect.
In keeping pace with their
old fashioned Christmas, Mrs.
Woost made European Christ
mas cookies and other apropos
desserts.
They held a Christmas party
and served tea with candy canes
as swizzle sticks. Although it
was a "dry" party, Mrs. Woost
reports that her guests said
they were pleased to have such
a party and the usual good time

With that statement Thomas
W. Priscilla last week an
nounced his acceptance of the
craftsmanship of the YMCA-
YWCA partner-membership en-
rollment.
An extra effort will have to
be made this year, he pointed
out, because the 1859 drive fell
short of its goal by about
$4,000. AS a result, some of
the activities Of the YM and
WV were curtailed by lack of
funds.

iob done this year if only we
can get our citizens to under
stand ti,e need for the IM anG

amount of good they do for the
city and our youth.

start Feb. 7th, and we hope to
have it SO per cent completed
by nightfall the same day."

More than $50 workers have
already ben signed up, and the

ports its fine schools and
