HELP! The East Cleveland
Public Library is seeking a copy
of "Pussey-Meow" by Susanna
Louise Patteson. Our correspon-
dent there, Alice Juringus, urges
East Clevelanders to search for
this book in attics and other
places.
That would be a switch, The
library borrowing a book from
someone.
IT is IMPORTANT! 1t takes
a fairly important local doing to
change a scheduled meeting of
the East Cleveland Community
Council-and such is Shaw's an
nual Black and Red revue.
Opening night for the 1861
production, silk Stockings" is
Thursday, April 18th. That hap
pens to be the date of the Coun-
ellis April meeting.
Wholeheartedly behind Shaw
students in these spring spec
taculars, the group is dropping
it's own program and those hold
ing tickets will be in the open
ing night crowd.
The Council, however. will
still have dinner in the Shaw
Cafeteria at $3.50 pm, with a
brief business meeting to follow.
Then it's off to the theatre
(Shaw Auditorium.)
LIBRARY WEEK. By state
proclamation, National Library
Week will be upon US April 10th
to 22nd. 1t seems that nary a
week passes that isn't officially
set for special observance.
Generally speaking, these pro-
carnations are commercial gim-
micks thought up by press
agents and thrown at public Of
ficials to sign.
There are a few, however, that
bear honoring and Library Week
in Ohio, is one of them.
1t could be that this is a pro-
motional stunt of book sellers,
yet it is a good reminder Of the
free access to the printed word
that we have.
Also it is we'll to take this
time to pay tribute to the dedi-
Gated librarians who serve this
community so well.
A GOOD START. The Kiwan-
Is Clubs bold move in officially
asking state legislatures to pass
the proposed liquor bill that
would give municipalities more
home rule control is good
beginning.
But much more decisive act
ion is needed from civic groups
and churches. Passage of this
bill would greatly relieve pres
sure forever on city officials in
controlling liquor spots.
Local zoning laws pertaining
to liquor have been ruled invalid
by the courts and the only SEN
sible step is the passage of
H.B. 667.
WELL DESERVED recogni-
ton was given the police and
auxiliary police when Mrs. Nor
man Holmes, county coordina-
tor of polio drives presented
Chief Weaver and Carl S. Pfef-
fer, president of the auxiliary
force with certificates for their
support.
For the. past 10 years, the
two police forces have escorted
the women campaigners during
their house to house drives.
UPCOMING! Two events COM
ing up this weekend that are
worth special mentioning are
the father, daughter recital at
Ursuline Academy Sun
day and the East Cleveland Fire
Fighters Ball Saturday evening.
Andreas Won Schill and his
daughter ANGELA will present a
cello and piano program at the
school, 14016 Euclid ave.
The firemen will hold their
10th annual death benefit dance
at the Euclid Vets Hall, 1861
East 260th ST., from 9 pm. un-
til / am. Music will be by
George Cook and his band.

SATISFYING. 1t is good to
hear that plans for the city's
5Oth birthday celebration have
not been discarded.
