Unpleasant Business
Of Drafting Goes On

Draft Board members, like
tax collectors have a pretty
thankless job. Yet, like COL
lecting taxes, drafting young
men into the Armed Forces is
"a task that has to be done.
For nearly 20 years, three
men and woman have been
at the helm of Board 29 in Pros
pect School which is the select
i've Service headquarters for
East Cleveland and Cleveland
Heights.
The men are Draft Board

secretary
The woman is Mrs. Adeline
Hertel of 1884 Delmore rd.,
who has been clerk of the board
since its existence.
1t was Mrs. Hertel who ex-
planned about the workings of
the board and who had count
less stories, sad, amusing and
tragic to tell about those who
had been to see her.
The primary function of the
board is to register boys as
they become IS. Mrs. Hertel
does this with the aid of a
clerk, Miss Mary Sue Jones
who works at the East Cleve-
land office four days week
and one day downtown.
The boys who registered are
not inducted Immediately. They
are put in a pool and upon
reaching age % are subject to
drafting. Of course the amount
of men drafted depends on the
needs of the various branches
of the Armed Forces
Average 65 a Month
Mrs. Hertel explained that
over the years the average for
her office has been in the neigh
borhood of 65' a month.
The East Cleveland office
opened in 1910 and stayed in
business until 1916. 1t reopened
in 194S and has been drafting
ever since
Besides being in charge of the
local office, Mrs. Hertel has
been called upon many times

RezoninQ
Plea Is
Rejected

The East Cleveland
Board of Zoning Appeals
turned down a request by
Louis Zeldman Tuesday
for rezoning. a parcel of
land on Ravine dr., near Nela
Park for the erection Of an
apartment building.
The action was taken after
more than a dozen residents Of
the area voiced their strong
objections to the proposed use
of the property.
Officially, Zeldman and his
representative William j..
Braun, a registered engineer
and planning consultant had
asked for variance use of the
land.
The property at present is
zoned U-l district use
which limits it to one and two
family dwellings.
Braun, who says he is with
Joseph E. McSteen. a civil en-
gineering and surveying firm,
told the board and the irats
citizens present at the Tuesday
morning meeting that Zeid-
mans request would not mean
a change in present zoning.
