Poppy Tribute

Memorial poppies which will
be worn in East Cleveland on
Poppy Day, May 25th, have
been made by the disabled
American War veterans at the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home.
The red crepe paper flowers,
which are worn as a tribute TO
the nations war dead each year,
are distributed by volunteer
workers under the direction of
the American Legion Auxiliary.
Mrs. Robert V. Sorenson, poppy
day chairman of the Auxiliary
Post 103, has announced that
more than 1000 poppies have
been received here this year.
Making poppies provides
gainful employment and needed
work therapy for thousands of
our servicemen still hospitalized
with wartime injuries. These
tiny replicas of the wild popies
which lined the battlefields of
Europe in 1918 have become
the emblem for personal re-
membrance of our servicemen's
sacrifices" Mrs. Sorenson said.

zheimer, chairman of the East
Cleveland x-ray survey commit
tee announced.
Mrs. Holzheimer pointed out
that every resident 19 years Of
age or over is welcome at the X

people who live in the Euclid
Superior section of our city will
find the schedule particularly
convenient for them. They should

advantage of this opportunity
to get chest x-ray, right in
their neighborhoods. Mrs. Hol-
zheimer added that 100 per cent
participation is this years goal.
DR.. Frederick T. Suppes, Di-
rector of Health for East Cieve-
land, added that because the X
ray units are now working on a
schedule of one-third of the city
each year, it is particularly i'm
portant that the people of the
Euclid Superior area not miss
this opportunity. They will gain
freedom Of mind and spirit by
giving just few minutes Of
their time for a free chest x-ray.
Mrs. Bert E. Skeel, PTA
Health Chairman and Mrs. Ro-
bert Nc Namara, of East Cleve-
land PTA Council, are serving

of these classics as a library
function is disappearing She
says that several high school
pupils have told her that their
early acquaintance with the
classics has made their school
literary work easier.
Both Miss Grout and Mrs.
Hukari are anxious to have time
to read. Although they spend
much time in the library they
keep themselves so busy that
they have time only to glimpse
at the many books they would
like to read.
Miss Grout has hopes of Wis
iting her family in Seattle and
perhaps taking a European
tour with her sister. She has
been to Europe before but says
that one trip is just enough to
whet the appetite and make one
desirous to return and do more
than scratch the surface of all
the things there are to see and
learn across the ocean.
Miss Grout will continue to live
in East Cleveland where she
has many friends and activities
following her retirement.
Mrs. Hukari can look forward
to the end of her trek from her
home in Tallmadge to her job
in East Cleveland. She has spent
the last 10 of the 90 she has
been in East Cleveland library

Miss Hukari, a graduate of
Flora Stone Mather College
and Columbia University Lib
rary school, is presently Lib
rarian of North Branch Library

Many people in the Caledonia
district will remember her as a

their group. One informal tall
was provided by a member Of
the Better Business Bureau who
cautioned them to be alert or
gyp artists. Mrs. Hukari credits
the Mayfair and Chamber school
parent teacher associations with
aiding the success of the pro,
gram.
Travel, reading and clubs are
the activities Of which Mrs
Hukari will partake during her
leisure hours. She and Miss
Grout both agree that being
librarian gives them an oppor-
tunity to be close to the COM
munity and it is something they
have enjoyed and will miss.

Librarian at the Caledonia

The project that Mrs. Hukari
initiated at North has proven
popular with North's patrons
Mrs. Hukari has set up planned
programs for the mothers who
use the branch library and the
response has been great
between 35 to so women make
use of the program.
Mrs. Hukari observed that il
is customary for mothers to
bring their youngsters to the

the children go to story hour,
the mothers meet in round table

Cuyahoga County.
In 1850 enumeration, 1904
residents were accounted for il
Our Town. This years figure
reveals that 1882 people cal
East Cleveland home. Question
Since vacant dwellings are
not evident, what became OF
the missing 2,115?
City Manager Charles A.
Carran expressed surprise at
the census takers count and
Finance Director 6. L. APP
thorp made a quick trip to
local Census headquarters to
scan the results on East
Cleveland's ten census dis
tricts.
In superficial gin &
through the ten districts, Mr..
Apthorp saw that only one of
the ten districts showed an in
crease over the 1850 census
count. 1t is known as tract five
and includes the area on ''top
of the hill" taking in Glynn rd.,
to Lee rd. and Doan to Shaw
north of Euclid ave. The great
est population drop was re-
corded in tract ten which went
down 400. The area covered
runs south of Fuelid ave. ano
west Of Superior.
1T is very difficult for me
to believe the East Cleveland
population in 1860 is less
than in 1850 as indicated by
the unofficial census figures
just released, Mr.. Carran
said.
"These same 1860 census
figures show an increase of
929 housing units constructed
since 1850 which alone would
result in an increased popula-
tion from 1000 to 5000 per-
sons.
"There are about 20 per cent
or 900 more public school STU
dents in East Cleveland than
there were ten years ago. At
st. Philomena parochial school
enrolment has increased about
30 percent in the same period.
"The latest population es-
innate made by Cleveland
Electric Illuminating Com
pany shows a population for
East Cleveland Gas of April
1850 as being 10000 which
is an increase of about 900
over 1850.
"The foregoing information
strongly indicates an increase
in population and | can think
of no important factors that
could result in a net decrease"
concluded Mr.. Carran.
Current public school records
show the increase in school en-
rollment in the Caledonia dis
trict (which includes Cleveland
Heights) and in Kirk Junior
High and Shaw High School.
School records beyond the ele-
level were not screen
ed to determine if the increase
was due to tuition students,
Cleveland Heights growth or
other factors.
For the last 80 years East
Cleveland has been a rela-
lively static community. The
Rand-McNally figure for
1910 was 80, ,495 and for 1850
was 4O.O47, The recent high,
if this years early estimate
is anywhere near the final
tally, will be the 1850 count.
1t should be remembered that
at that time there was still a
postwar housing shortage
and many families were
doubling up. Public opinion
was causing many landlords
to be more generous in ac-
cepting families with young
children.
Mr.. Anthorp said that five
per cent decrease in ten years
is not a significant change.
1t will be several months be-
fore the census tabulations are
all made and corrections in.
Still to be counted are those out
If the city vacationing, in col
ege or absent for some other
reason, but in the meantime
,tatisticians will be pouring
over books and asking if 2,115
people are lost, strayed or
stolen.
