According to the budget res
olution which will be submitted
by Superintendent DR.. Ell
Nichols, there will be a notable
increase in maintenance costs.
The figure estimated for 1861
is 1922, ,657.40 for this year as
compared to request Of
S138, $50 in 1860.
The big drop (S16,643) is in
the actual care of buildings and

DR.. Nichols stated the reason
for this is the extensive repair

done to school property last
year.
Other items to be considered

Sees No Federal Aid Here

past legislative action has been toward
more so-called equalization. State money
is distributed to districts according to local
tax valuation. The lower the valuation the
greater the participation is state money"
DIR. Nichols explained that in the first
place, the federal money is supposed to be
distributed to the various states according
to need. Ohio would receive approximately
SIS per pupil, whereas Mississippi would
receive $29 per pupil.
Assuming that the money allotted to
Ohio is to be received" he continued, "there
has been no formula devised for distribut-
ing the money to the schools within the
state. 1t is possible this money may be
used for equalization purposes within the
state. If this be true, East Cleveland would
not benefit

principally aimed at bad violat-
ors and minor infractions will be
dealt with leniently.
"In any case" he said, prop
erty owners will be given ample
time to correct any unlawful
conditions"
The code also was highly
praised by residents as well as
members of the commission.
J. T. Derighter of 1865 Sixth
ave-, stated the strict housing
code was long overdue.
He particularly praised the
section dealing with outside ap-
pearances saying that 'it would
be good for East Cleveland,
maintain the value of property
and not scare people away.
A resident of the suburb since
1925, he commented that lack Of
consideration of communities in
forcing property owners to con-
centrate on outward appearances
as has been a primary cause Of
neighborhood depreciation.
Mrs. Joseph Foecking of Eu-
cid, but who owns property at
1910 Van Buren also said it was
a good code.
Commission President J. Dur
ant Mix complimented the ad-
ministration for burning the
midnight oil for many months"
in order to provide the city with
the code.
The housing code will have its
second reading at the commission
meeting Tuesday. March 21st at
which time it can also become
law.
If made into law at that time,
it will become effective imme-
diately although property own
ers will have until June of this
year to apply for new certifi-
Gates and until January 1862 to
have possession of them.

"Dont count on anything in East Cleve-
land other than helping pay the freight"
That is what School Supt. H. l.. Nichols
has to say about the proposed billion dollar
federal aid to education and what it would
mean to this community.
Admitting that ii would be impossible
to predict how much the program would
effect financing of East Cleveland schools,
he nevertheless feels that because any
distribution of federal money would be done
by the State, there would be nought to
gain here.
DOwn-state counties have been very sue
cessful in keeping the tax duplicate to a
small fraction of true value, thus their
greater participation in equalizing monies"
he said.

During the month of Febru-

joint project administered the
kraus Weber Physical Fit
ness Test to 1SS boys from
the Gray Clubs and Gym
Classes.
Records showed that $40
were deficient in one or more
of the six tests of what is
considered only the minimum
fitness requirements. Though
this is slight improvement
over last years record, it
clearly indicates a great need
in basic fitness training.
DIR. Robert kuhlow of the
Exchange Cube and Ray
Snyder, YMCA Ply ica |
Director, headed the commit
tee which worked on this
project. 1t is hoped that this
testing can be continued and
related more significantly to
the individuals habits and
that follow up programs may
come which will help the
youth of our community and
nation improve in this very
important factor of life.

Some or the most common
sense opinions Of the day con-
cerning the so-called "t.v.
threat" to reading were ex-
pressed by members of the East
Cleveland Main Library last
week.
These views were a refresh
ing change from the cries of
anguish from some educators
and social workers, who are
saying that Juniors interest in
the family's "one-eyed mon
ster" will ruin his appetite for
good literature.
In an interview with Mrs.
Lillian Clarke, present Head
Librarian who spent eighteen
previous years in the Shaw
High library, she smiled when
asked if television is running
the reading habits of children.
mot really" she said, ''Be-
cause it is basically true that
some people are readers and
some are not. The children who
really like to read are going to
continue to do so. Those who
do not read for pleasure will
get by with what is absolutely
necessary. and then do some
thing else they enjoy. This is
also true of adults"
Miss Alice Juringus, former
athletic instructor of girls at
Shaw, who is presently on the
staff of the Main Library, went
a step farther and gave televi-
sion some small credit:
Children Encouraged
Sometimes / think t.v. en-
courages children, as well as
adults. to read. Everytime a
well-known book or play is pro-
duced on t.v.. the next day the
shelves are stripped bare of all
copies!"

In the Children's book room,
Miss Driver discussed the need
she feels for "glamorizing" her
department; perhaps a name
for the room itself. While the
Main Library shows a record
of 2,542 cards issued to chill
dren, the two branch libraries
plus a school. have 4,799 card
holders. Miss Driver would like
to see more children visit the
Main Library.
After-school attendance is
good; once month, on q Fri
day, at p. m. the room is
usually packed for the Story
Hour for school children. There
is a story-hour, too, for pre-
schoolers, on Tuesday after
moons at 2 p. m. The branch
Libraries have a similar pro-
gram on Wednesdays at 10:30
in the morning.
DIR. Seuss Popular
AS for childrens' literature
itself, DR.. Seuss and his nom
sense book remains high on the
list of favorites with grade
schoolers. Parents, it seems,
contribute to this constant level
of interest; this is one author
that father doesn't mind read
ing out loud at bedtime.
Miss Driver admitted that
parents often come in to con-
suit the librarians about what
book to buy Susy. This consul
tation service receives the larg-
est volume of requests at
Christmas, and much care is
taken to see that the final deci-
sion is based on the child's own
personal interests rather than
strictly on his age.
All this should reassure the
parents who are worried about
the influence of television on
reading habits.

looked fine enough with paint
ing done every six years.
1t was explained by Finance
Director Grant P. Apthorp that
it was not the intent of the
city to force every homeowner
to strict compliance Of the reg
ulation.
"Flrst of ALL" he said, "the
code is aimed primarily at multi
pie dwelling units and secondly
each buildings appearance will
be judged on its own merits"
Actually" he added, "the
painting clause is a protection to
the owner. If a home has been
painted within five years, it au-
tomatically is considered sight
ly. On the other hand, it can be
considered passable even though
it might not have been painted
within that period of time. The
reason for the proposed law, is
to set a standard which inspec-
tors can go BY"
1t was also noted that appeals
can be made on any decisions of
the inspectors.
Another complainant was
concerned that his S7-year-old
might be compelled to
paint her home.
He felt that rather than have
the five-year-rule, city officials
should consider seeing that long
lasting paint is used.
This was Ralph Stone of 1925
RoXbury who was worried that
the ambition Of the city might
be to eventually telling citi-
zens even when to paint their
automobiles.
"This is a good way to get
people out of town, rather than
encourage them to move into
East Cleveland" he said.
City Manager Charles Carran
asserted there was no such inten-
tion at all. He further pointed
out that the housing code is

INTERESTING. Our friend,
Jim Foy, from a downtown ad-
vertising agency reports on a
new pre-emergent crab grass
killer that will be placed on the
market this spring by the Dow
Chemical Company.
I This boon to mankind is based
on Zytron, a new herbicudal
chemical discovered by Dow's
which kills crab grass selective-
6 ly without harming the desirable
lawn grasses.
The new product is granular
material designed for application
} in the spring before crab grass
sprouts, thus depending for its
effectiveness on preventing the
weed from growing rather than
killing the mature plant. Reports
are that it is especially well-suit-
ed for use on Merton or Ken
lucky bluegrass lawns.
! So fellow crab-grass sufferers,
it looks as if we might have a
Salk vaccine for our lawns.
AMUSING. For the first time
in many years classes were held
in school on Washington's birth
day last month, and it proved to
, school officials that sometimes
you can't win, no how.
East Cleveland as well as
neighboring communities has
often been criticized for not hav-
ing enough school days in the
schol year.
Yet, when schoolmen here de-
cided to give students an extra
day of learning, taxpayers an
extra day of the teachers time
. (at no extra cost, complaints
! poured in-and not from the pu-
pills or teachers.
The switchboard at the school
p. board office was tied up for two
days from people calling in and
wondering about the patriotism
of DR.. Nichols and Company.
, AS if it wouldn't be more of
{; an honor to our first president
by taking advantage Of one of
the most basic doctrines in a.
, Democracy - public education
: for one and all.
DISGUSTING. Here's why
, everyone in East Cleveland
should get behind Judge Stanton
Adams and other municipality
officials throughout the country
, and work for liquor bill that
will give local officials stronger
home rule control.
We are in receipt of = news
from the Ohio Liquor Board of
Control of cases heard before
the board the past couple of
weeks. Violations range from de-
linquent sales tax easements tol
gambling and sale of intoxicating
LIQUOR to minors.
Of more than SO cases noted,
the stiffest penalty imposed was
q 21-day suspension of a tavern
license. This slap on the wrist
tactics of the liquor department
is deplorable and stresses the
need to give municipalities more
home control.
It's regrettable but true, that
liquor officials do not have the
concern for the public that they
should.
Judge Adams has been in
strumental in getting bill in
troduced in the state legislature.
1t is a good one that gives local
government the power it wants.
But we feel, the powerful IL
quor lobby in the state capital
will have watered down pretty
much if and when it is made into
law.
