pioneers,
Had many hardships and shed
many tears"
From there on the children
were on their own; they could
write their poem in any direc-
ton from those two lines, just
so the line length and meter
were consistent with them.
Some of the resulting poems
are quite good; several of them
seem to follow up a reference
to the early days with a de-
scription of the way things are
nova commendable way to
balance a two-part poem.
These notebooks are quite
large affairs by now, and rep
resent a great deal of work.
SUPERIOR
Here's a story we like. 1t
happened at Superior School a
couple of weeks ago. 1t seems
that the time had arrived for
the annual Bicycle Rodeo at
that school, and the painters
from the Traffic Bureau of the
Police Department came around
to draw the necessary lines on
the asphalt playground to con-
duct the accuracy tests.
But they told the Superior
office, "We heard from the
weather bureau at the airport
that it was going to rain this
afternoon. 1t would be too wet
to hold the rodeo then. Do you
suppose we had better call off
the painting of the lines today,
and come back tomorrow"
Well, that seemed like a good
idea to the school office, if rain
was really in the cards for that
afternoon. But they told the
Traffic Bureau men, "Wait
minute. We have a weather
bureau of our own upstairs;
let's check with them first, be-
fore we decide what to do"
So school and police person
mel both climbed the stairs to
the Superior Weather Bureau
otherwise known as Stanton
Downs fifth grade room - and
asked the young meteorologists
there, what does it say for
this afternoon?"
After a brief consultation
with their barometer, they told
the visitors, "It says TWEEN
TY-NINE POINT NINE AND
STEADYv"
That, as all weather-watchers
know, is pretty fair news. So
the school people and police
people agreed to go ahead with
the painting of the lines, and
with the rodeo itself that after
noon; and do you know what? ?
1t was a beautiful afternoon,
sunny and dry!
Now the East Cleveland Po-
lice are saying that they are
not going to go on the say-so of
the Airport weather station ex-
! clusively from now on; they

My dear sir:
| am seeking some informa-
tion or suggestions. l hope that
you, as Editor of east Cleve-
land Leader, may be able to
help me.
My paternal grandparents,
Franz Henri Tor Henry Dent
and Dorothea Groat Dent, lived
on Euclid ave. near what is now
East 144th st. in about 1886.
They had one child, Frank
Henry Dent, my deceased IA
ther. In approximately 1886 my
grandfather died as the result
of injuries received in a rail-
road crossing accident. This was
during warm or hot weather.
My grandmother died some ten
(10) or fifteen (15) days later.
l do not know the cause of her
death; that is, whether it was
a disease, injury or age. Their
son was taken to live with an
uncle in Missouri where he re-
mained for some time. A cousin
of my father was Carl, or Karl,
Dent, blind musician.
| would like to ascertain the
dates of my grandparents
deaths, the cause of my grand
mothers death and the dates
and places Of their burials. My
inquiries directed to the Com
missioner of Cemeteries in Gle
veland and the Cuyahoga Coun-
ty Board of Health brought re-
plies that gave to me no in
formation. For instance, the
Commissioner of Gem e e r j e s.
stated that no Dent died in
Cleveland. The Board of Health
apparently knew nothing OF any
value to me.
1t is possible that vital re-
cords of East Cleveland may not
have been turned over to the
City of Cleveland. My inquiries
to personnel in the City of
Cleveland may not have been
productive of data because they
had none to give. Yet, l know
(from my fathers statements
to me) that the facts are as
given above. Unfortunately, my
family kept no written records.
Any explicit or definite data
that l may get will be the
results of a letter Of inquiry
such as this one.
Very truly yours,
Louis Dent

practice sessions rained out, the
situation has been further ag-
gravated this week when rain
and wet grounds forced the
postponement of the entire
schedule in both leagues on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Tonight the Little League
hopes to launch it's 1860 season
with a pair of games scheduled
on local diamonds. At Shaw
Field, Kennedy's Mems Shop
will face the East Cleveland
Fire Department nine while
Fisher Furnaces meets Koenig
Sport Goods at Superior Hill
Field. Tomorrow nights slate
finds Police & Associates going
against Stonebraker Drugs at
Superior and Diamonds Mems
Shop opposes Nelson jewelers.,
the 1859 league champions, at
Shaw.
Four of the six Pony League
clubs hope to get the new sea-
son under way tomorrow eve
ming when Colonial Inn plays
Kennedy's Mems Shop at Skat-
ing Rink Field and Pauls Res
taurant tangles with Flynn
Froelk Funeral Home at Forest
Hills. Each team will play a
total of fifteen games during
the season with the winner of
each half meeting in a best of
three series to decide the league
title.
Colt League action will begin
next Tuesday evening when all
four of the teams see action.
The G.. E. Lite Sox will open
the defense of their 1859 title
at Skating Rink Field where
they oppose Merle Owen Funer-
al Home. In the other Tuesday
contest, the Kiwanis Club col
lides with Nela Forest at For

will be the mainstay of the
backstop department as the
Tribe bids for the pennant.
"Foiles is our Jim Hogan"
said Frank Lane when l re-
marked that jim had caught
for two flag winners in spite of
the fact his batting average
was not impressive. Neither is
Foile's longtime record.
Il mean he can do for US
what Hogan did-get the best
results from our pitching"
Lane volunteered the infor-
nation that Marty keough and
Ted Bowsfield, the outfielder
and pitcher for whom he traded
Nixon and Carroll Hardy, mean
added bench strength.
This may not sound like
much of compliment to Nix
on, but Joe Gordon's recent
preference for Foiles and Ro-
mano suggests Russ was not
his idea of a great catcher.
Nixon demonstrated in 1857
and 1868 that he could hit big
league pitching. His averages
were .2S1 and .301. In the first
year he had only 1S5 times at
bath. but he was No. the sec
ond year.
His deep slump to .240 last
season and his unimpressive
average in part-time work this
spring may mean opponents
learned how to BATTLE him, but
it's also possible he'll regain his
skill while toiling regularly for
the Red Sox.
Hardy may be similarly for
tunate. The big fellow from
Sturgis, ND. has so much tall
ent that he was regarded in
training camp as a challenger
for jim Piersall in center field.
But Hardy still has to prove
himself hitter.
Since Russ is 25 and Carroll
is q, either or both may i'm
prove in Fenway Park. The
deal was another example of
Lanes willingness to throw po-
tential boomerangs.
But at least the general man
ager didn't give up players who
may return to torture him in
exchange for veterans who
could promise only a year or
two of usefulness. Keough is

ROZELLE
Mrs. Eli Manos' third grade
room at Rozelle School held an
Early Cleaveland Fair the other
day at school. (No, that's not a
misspelling: "Cleaveland" had
an "a" in it to begin with. }
There were booths and tables
displaying early weapons, a
model of a pioneer village, ar
ticles found on a farm in the
old days, a small store, home
furnishings made by the set
tiers, and so on. Each display
was under students who had
made a special study of the
things shown there. They ex-
planned to their visitors what
they had learned about their
speciality.
And who were the visitors :?
Children from the other second
and third grade rooms in Ro-
zelle, who obtained ideas and
suggestions in this way for
studies of their own. They had
received invitations to the fair
in the form of paper log cabins,
and they were handed pro-
grams similarly antique in ma
ture; they also took part in the
judging of the exhibits, and
enjoyed the stories and songs
prepared by Mrs. Manos' pupils.
The parents of these pupils
were also invited to the fair,
and they enjoyed it as much as
the children did.
Reading, writing, music, art,
and social studies are all merg-
ed in an activity such as this,
and all these skills benefit
from it.
Drawn and colored paper
meat slices, and other foods
such as bananas, lettuce, wien
ers and apples, were "play"
foods made for the store which
Miss Judith Borton's second
graders have set up in their
room at Mayfair School. Not
only did they manufacture and
cut out their own foods; they
buy and sell them making
change as they COUP to dol
lar in some cases-and ring up
all sales on their own cash
register.
Their store is well-stocked
one, having articles for sale to
please all tastes. They have
many cartons brought from
their homes which once con-
tanned real foods, which they
deal with as if they were full.
They have an unusually large
number Of ice cream cartons,
since the mother of one of them
works in that kind Of store.
They have play money, too,
with which they make change.
Their teacher sets problems for
them which do not involve bor-
rowing and carrying; these op-
erations are a little too ad-
vanced for the second grade.
But within these limits, trading
is brisk, the rotation between
who is to buy and who is to sell
today goes on all the time, and
every child takes part in a real
commercial "do."

You have not said nearly
enough yet about the in
equality Of the man and his
wife when the man retires
from his job.
This, ] am convinced, Is
the area Of greatest unhappi-
ness in most retirements.
THE inequality lies in the
comparison Of what the wom-
an loses and what the man
loses when he comes home
with the pension. Primarily,
the wife loses some Of her
peace and quiet. But the man
loses his place in our modern
society and what feeling Of
well-being that place gave
him. Most important, he loses
his daily companions.
THE wife has the same
status the day after her hus.
band retired that she had be-
fore. She also has the same
friends around the same cor
ner. But the mans compan-
ions. because Of the nature Of
q mans business these days,
are all back downtown and
have no time to spare to be
his companion in leisure.
This nan had no particular
plans for his retirement, he
says, because he figured he
was q reasonably well bal
anced individual and could
find plenty Of things to do.

my wife to take on with me

things.
1T was q good idea-for
me. But what I had done was
Flip the inequality to the 9TH
