This gesture by Mrs. Bolton
climaxes years of struggle by
Mrs. Dumlijan to stay in this
country so that her son might
study for the priesthood.
1t ended years of agonizing
setbacks that cannot be fully
told because Of the repercussions
that could be wrought on close
relatives of the two.
What can be told IS tnat mrs.
Dumlijan is considered the best
cook st. Philomena's Church
ever had.
In appealing to Mrs. Bolton
to act on behalf of the refugee
pair, former assistant pastor at
the church, Rev. Raymond A.
Trapp stated her culinary abil-
ity is magnificent and also she
was one of the finest seam
stresses who ever basted a

Anniversary
Committee Gets
Initial Boost

Support for East Cleveland s
50th year anniversary program
of activity received an initial
boost this week when trustees
of the East Cleveland Commun-
ity Picnic, Inc, authorized a
contribution Of 5000 to help un-
derwrite expenses of tn obser-
vance.
George Nelson, speaking for
fellow trustees Fred Henderson
and Rolin Rendlesham, said that
the gift was tangible evidence
of our support for East Cleve-
lands Golden Anniversary-by
all odds the most significant
civic observance in the history
of this community"
Nelson presented a check to
James Z. Bateman, chairman
of the Golden Anniversary Com
mittee of East Cleveland. Bate
man pointed out that the gift
represented a marvellous de-
monstration of civic interest and
responsibility by the picnic
trustees, particularly in view of
the fact that it was a voluntary
action on their part and no soli-
of this kind have yet
been made"
Bateman said his committee
has already received enthusias-
tic assurances Of support from
cooperating organizations as far
as program activity and special
events are concerned.
"We are most anxious to hear
from all East Cleveland organi-

Supt. Cites
Enrolment S
500 Jump

The East Cleveland School
Board will be asked to consider
additional classrooms for Kirk
Junior High School at its Mon
day night meeting.
Seeking a close study of the
possibility will be Supt. Harold
L. Nichols who will report that
enrolment in the schools has
Increased almost so per cent in
the past ten years.
From a projection point OF
view, DR.. Nichols stated that at
least four new classrooms are
needed now.
The enrolment in the school
at present is l,450 as compared
to 99S in 1850. Attendance start
ing in September is expected to
reach 1,476.
DR.. Nichols said he will ask
for the study with the thought
of adding the classrooms by the
fall of 1862.
The price of constructing
Iclassrooms at present runs from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.
Kirk was the last public
school built in East Cleveland
and it was opened in 1880. There
has been no classroom additions
in the school system since.
This, of course, excludes korb
Student Center and gymnasiums
and multi-purpose rooms built
at Caledonia and Rozelle.
DR.. Nichols feels there is
ample room to add classrooms
at Kirk and will suggest to the
board that area behind the west
wing of the school be con-
sidered.
At the Monday night board
meeting, DR.. Nichols also will
recommend thei system hiring
its own librarian for Shaw. At
present the two librarians there
are employees of the East
Cleveland Public Library sys-I
tenn.
However, both are leaving
soon and it is the thought that
this would be good time for
the school to hire its own per-
sonnel to service the school
branch.
The main library will still do
the cataloging and filing, ac-
cording to DR.. Nichols.
Other items on the agenda
are a review of attendance by
school personnel at professional
meetings, a report by the in
surance committee and a pro-
posal 30 adopt mathematics and
clerical record keeping text
books.

stay at St. Philomena's Church
is apparent, Rev. Trapp will
profit by the cooking ability of
Mrs. Dumlijan only as a visitor.
He was recently transferred to
Assumption Church on Brook
park I'd.
Mrs. Dumlijan and her son
were admitted to this country
on April 14th, 1858. They were
supposed to stay only until Aug
ust of that year. In September,
they filed applications to be
allowed to remain as permanent
residents of the United States.
This was denied them and
they were in danger Of being
deported back to Yugoslavia
where their troubles began.
Through the efforts Of a law
firm in Washington, D. c. and
Father Trapp, a bill was intro
duced in the Senate by Ohio
Senator Frank L. Lausche.
The legislation declared that
Mrs. Dumlijan and son were
indeed political refugees and
that they should be allowed to
stay in this country.
The complete story of their
ordeal and suffering in Yugo-
slavia must remain untold.
What can be said, however. is
that the Herculean struggle
that Mrs. Dumlijan made to

for many years it has been the

ever, he explains, in recent
years the trend has been to-
ward training in the supervi-
