Owens Poses
Major Threat
oRedskins

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA
(AP0-Lanky R. c. Owens, a
fellow who still hasn't signed
a 1861 contract, goes into
Sundays National football
league opener against the Red
skins as the Forty-Niners big
gest yardage gamer on passes.
The skinny guy who is US
ually on the receiving end of
the Forty-Niners spectacular
ALLEY oop" pass plays shared
10 passes for 221 yards and a
touchdown in five preseason
games.
Monty StickleS, seemingly
a cinch for the tight end job,
leads the club in receptions
with IA. good for 1853 yards
and a touchdown. Clyde Con-
ner, the split end, has grabbed
eight passes for 1874 yards and
a I'd.
The 26-y e a r-old Owens,
starting his fifth season with
the Forty-Niners. has had to
battle for his job. Two speedy
rockies, Aaron Thomas of
Oregon State and Bernie
Casey of Bowling Green, have
looked sensational at times.
Owens scored six touch
downs last year and wanted a
big raise this season. The
Forty Miners offered him an
increase. but not enough to get
his signature on the dotted
line.
If the Forty-N decide
to up the ante to Owens, he'll
sign. If not. he says he'll play
out his option and negotiate
as a free agent next season.
The Forty-Niners starting
backfield for Sunday appears
to shape up as John Brodie
at quarterback, j. D. Smith at
the running halfback. c. R.
Roberts at fullback and Owens
at right half, the TANKER back
spot.

Reynolds May Survive
With Redskins After All

says he weighed PA with the
Cardinals this year after being
listed as 230 in the book. He's
happy to be with his new team
mates. even has the notion that
he might take away the No. l
berth from Rookie Norman
Snead. But he's got to get the
assignments down first.
McPeak has made up his
mind to use Don Bosseler and
Dick James in the backfield
with Snead, and play Bill An
derson as the TANKER against
the Forty-N Miners Sunday. But
he's weighing the defensive as
Signments. One of those on the
spot is Jim Crotty, a second
year man whose desire and eff
fort haven't quite offset his lack
of speed.
McPeak has only six defen-
sive backs and If he cuts a
veteran. like Crotty or possibly
Gary Click, it means he'll have
at least two rockies on the field
against the Miners hard
to-stop shotgun" offense. It's
a problem, but Bill is in a
gambling mood and may be
willing to go for broke.
Meanwhile, Coach Red Hick-
ey said yesterdays Forty Min
er passing drill was lone OF
the finest we've had" and
praised both the passers and
receivers. 1t means that the
Redskins are sure of getting
a heavy diet Of passes, and that
the game could be decided by
Washington's secondary de-
tense.
That's why McPeak is taking
his time about looping of
Reynolds head.

executive committee was TO fos-
ter, for the most part, self-sup-
porting events. This has meant
that every event or activity has
been sponsored by a community
group in part or in its entirety.
The committee has been careful
to avoid "over-reaching" on law
ish or costly projects.
Because some of the activity
and expenses could not be provid-
ed for, an effort was made to
raise a modest amount from in
dustry and some of the major
organizations here. That this ef-
fort, too, has been successful is
another tribute to the kind of
civic-minded residents and neigh
bors who live and work in East
Cleveland.
Commenting on the people as
soclated with him IN the Golden
Anniversary observance, Bate
man said:
while space will only allow us
to mention a few of the persons
who have taken an active part
in the anniversary activity, we
want to assure the many others

seived the idea Of moving to the
suburbs.
Opposed to Move
Most Of the other officers
of N.E.L.A. were opposed TO
moving way out in the coun-
try"
They argued that it wasn't
economical to operate away
from the conveniences and fac
ilities of the city, out of reach
Of public transportation, dis
tant from the homes of most
employees, and inaccessible
from downtown hotels where
customers stayed.
Terry and Tremains countered
pointing out that land was
cheaper and taxes lower in the
suburbs. More pleasant work
ing conditions would boost en-
ployee morale, they said, and
the use of a campus type" at
mosphere, with each building
designed for specific use,
would stimulate efficiency.
Terry and Tremaine pre-
vailed. Their unique idea, nov
city so years ago, started a
pattern that today finds most
industries moving "out in the
country" into park-like sur
roundings.
New York Architect
A New Yorker, Frank +.
Wallis, was hired as Nela Parks
original architect, and he re-
mained on the job until his re-
tirement in 1928. His hiring was
a departure from industry's
usual practice of employing
different architect for each
building.
Before sitting down at the

bands name is not specifically
mentioned, attended a large ball
given at Seth Doane's tavern.
Dancing by candle light to the
fiddler's sprightly tunes, with
the pungent aroma of spruce
boughs used for decoration, and
refreshments of maple sugar,
short cake and home made
whiskey, made for a notable eve
ming of gaiety.
But the Church fathers took
another view of these proceed
ings and called upon the parti-
cipants to come forward in
Church, profess their sins and
promise to repent before all the
congregation. But Aunt Shaw
felt that she had not been wicked
and she alone refused to ac-
knowledge a sin. Furthermore,
when she was personally re-
preached, she flatly stated her
opinion that she was not guilty
Of wrong doing. She was sus-
pended from the church, a scan
dal which certainly must have
set tongues wagging. But the
church filled a vital and serious

they did not survive. She was
known to be Industrious and a
good nurse, two qualities which
rated at the top of the list in
those times. That she was apt
with the needle is evidenced by
the fact that at a later date a
quilt exhibit listed in the display
one of an oak leaf pattern pieced
and quilted by Sarah Mcllrath
Shaw and presented in 1925 to
her niece, X kez iah Norris
Wemple.
She was person Of strong
character and had a mind of her
own. Her husband was interested
in education, she. in the church.
On one occasion he offered her
a sum of money for her favorite
charity if she would drink for
a whole year sage tea instead
of real tea. Was it important
that the former came from the
garden and the latter from the
store, or was it Just that he
wanted to save all his money
for the school? At any rate. she
kept his bargain and earned her
money.

Bateman Heads Energetic
Anniversary Committee

some tentative plans were made
for program to take place
during the spring.
Problems Arise
But the calendar and press of
activity seem to pose some
problems for getting the proper
efforts organized. Thus, it was
decided to move the celebration
ahead to the early fall.
With the appointment of
James f. Bateman as chairman,
the civic machinery began to
move. Joining Bateman on the
executive committee for the an
niversary celebration were:
City Manager Charles A. Car
ran; Paul Broer, city commits
sioner; Dr.Harold Nichols, su-
perintendent of schools; Joseph
Eckel, a businessman; Edward
Spies, banker; A. w. Quattro-
chi. representing industry; Rev.
Robert Peters, president of the
East Cleveland Ministerial AS
sociation; and Gene Hersh, asso-
ciate editor of The Leader.
Others Join
Several subcommittee and
project leaders were appointed.
One of the key groups was
placed in charge of public rela-
tions and was headed by Quat-
trochi and included Hersh; Louis
Schweizer. an advertising execu-
tive; Alfred H. Roth. from Tow
motor; George Keith, of the
United Appeal staff; and George
Havens. of an advertising and
sales promotion firm.
All the efforts of these people,
and others charged with various
phases of work connected with
the anniversary, were blended
into a smooth operating force by
Bateman. Countless hours of
meetings. discussions. and con-
versations went into the plan
ming effort. That all of these
plans and ideas have or are COM
ing into fruition can only be Gre
dited to the spirit of cooperation
and dedication which has and
does exist in East Cleveland
people.

St. PduI's
Formed '43

The congregation of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church was formed in
1S43 when % men and women
gathered together to make pro-
vision for Episcopal Services.
At first the congregation met
in homes of various parishioners
and at the old Shaw Academy.
The parish was incorporated by
an act of the Ohio Legislature
in 1874.
The first building was begun
in 1S45 and was finally COM
pleted in 1860. 1t is this struc-
ture which still forms part of
the present building at 1887
Euclid ave-, and is known as
the church parlor. To this build
ing a number of additions have
been added and the present
structure was finally completed
in 1922.

While the name Shaw is most
commonly associated with John
Shaw who was responsible for
the founding of the present-day
high school. it should also bring
memories Of his wife. Sarah
McIlrath Shaw, usually called
Aunt Shaw.
She was born in 1873. and the
earliest mention of her states
that she had deep sorrows in
her youth but did not particu-
larize.
John Shaw came from the east
in 1903 looking for desirable
land on which to settle. He
stopped in Painesville on the
way, but continued on to East
Cleveland and finally selected
the land where Shaw High
School now stands.
Third Settler
The record says that he
brought his family in 1904,
thereby becoming the third set
tier. The Shaws were childless.
but raised many children in their
home, training the girls in home
making and getting the boys
fitted for college. Some were
just befriended, but there is

NeIa Park Has Birthday, Also

drawing board, Wallis made a
thorough study of the terrain
of Panorama Heights" and
the space requirements and
functions of the buildings.
He finally decided upon the
rather simple English Renais-
sance or Georgian style of ar
chitecture. Each building was
to be a part of a unit or family,
yet express individuality in
detail. This basic concept has
been followed throughout the
years in subsequent buildings
constructed at the Park.
Wallis spent considerable
time in England studying ex-
amples of the architecture he
had chosen before the first blue
prints were made
First three buildings to go
were the Engineering, Advertis-
ing and Manufacturing build
ings. Ground was broken for
them Oct. 1,1911.
The Administration building
followed in 1912. That same
year construction begon on the
Boiler Room building, the Cleve-
land Trust Bank building and
the Operating building. Digging
started for the Lamp Labora-
tory building in 1914.
Nela's most famous structure,
the Lighting Institute, was COM
pleted in 1921, although exten-
sive interior changes are made
nearly every year. 1t includes
bell tower with Westminster
chimes that ring every quarter
hour.
The circular pool beside the
Institute not only is the high
light of Nela Parks scenic
