power" comments East Cleve-
land Municipal Court Judge
Stanton Adams.
Both men have been in their
respective offices for more than
a score of years and speak from
experience that comes with
coping with many administra-
ton sponsored bills.
To these public servants the
proposed home rule liquor bill
must be revised to make it
stronger.
The legislation in it's pre-
amble recognizes the need to
vest in municipalities the right
of self determination of retail
permit quotas; to require the
liquor department to recognize
municipal zoning ordinances;
and to make a municipality an
interested party in board hear
ings.
But in the body of the bill
comes whereas and herewiths
that are cause Of concern to
the nounicipa 1ities
Election Necessary
For example, a portion of the
bill says that the legislative
authority Of a municipal cor
poration shall not enact any
ordinance, nor adopt any by
laws or resolutions establishing
such quotas unless such legis-
lative authority shall have first
been granted by the electors
Of the municipal corporation
through process of initiative
petition and election.
This means that in order for
a community TO limit the is
suance of liquor permits, an
election must be held.

Judge Adams. at would be

Zoning BID
Yields To
Dan Cupid

Cupid was an interested
spectator at Tuesdays meet
ing of the East Cleveland
Board of Zoning Appeals.
This could be felt as SYM
pathetic city officials in an
unusual action gave unoffi-
cial sanction to increasing the
number of persons at a
rooming house.
The owner of the dwelling
wanted to increase the num-
Der of roOmers, because a
young lady residing on the
third floor was getting mar
ried. The problem presented
was where would hubby stay.
In East Cleveland room.
ing houses, approval of the
zOning board is a must for
any additional occupants -
wives, husbands or children
not withstanding.
The owner of the home
had not made application for
the additional residents in
time for the meeting. CIT had
to be made five days prior
to the SESSION..
Yet, the third-floor resi-
dent was getting married
within 10 days, so the board
members yielded to romance.
Even, Fire Chief Fred
Lange, who usually is dead
set against third floor occu-
pancy softened.
What helped the soon-to-
be bride and groom was the
fine reputation of the owner
of the dwelling who city in
spectOrs noted keeps her
rooming house in excellent
shape.
City officials did make one
restriction. There probably
will be no sound of the pat
ter of little feet in the home.
When that time comes. the
board hinted they will stick
to the strict regulations COW
ering third floor suites.
But. City Manager Charles
Carran was quick to note,
this should not be construed
as 4 birth control attempt on
the part of the city.
Official approval for the
increase in occupancy is ex-
pected to be given at the
next board meeting. Tuesday.
Feb. 14th appropriately
enough on Valentines Day.

Company.

"If any of your constituents
tell you that they had high gas
bills for December = they are
correct. But the high bills were
due to the (you guessed it)

that's real mean) as compared
with 42.6 for November. This
made last month the coolest
December since 1917 when the
mean temperature was 22.4 de-
grees.
"The normal mean tempera-
ture for December is 3O.9 de-
grees."
"If cold temperatures were
not enough" the report con-
tinues, "high wind velocities
did the trick - because the
average wind velocity was 1876
miles per hour.
"On the average, it required
almost twice as much fuel to
neat a home in December as it
did in November.
"As compared to December,
1859, it required about SO per
cent more fuel to heat the av-
erage home last December"
"Of course" reports the gas
company, "the average Gus
toner used a lot more gas in
December"
Yes, blame it on the weather!

American Indians Ask For Greater Voice In Government Policy

CHICAGO R - The first na- tional conference of American Indians has called upon the Unit ed States to give Indians a great CT voice in determining govern ment policy toward them.
 Such a change would be a part of a redefinition of the responsi- bilities of the government in this area called for in declaration of Indian principles.
 The declaration, approved Tues day, was the product of an eight day conference of TOO Indians representing 200 tribes from the Boring Sea to the Florida Keys and Canada and Mexico.
 The conference was organized by Sol Tax, a University of Chi cago anthropologist, and followed a series of regional Indian con- ferences.
 Abandonment of the so-called termination policy of the previous dulILlIllSll dIlOIl Was OllC Ol IllC prime recommendations of the declaration.
 The policy was adopted by the 83rd Congress and removes the federal government from the ad- ministration of Indian Affairs, re- turning the responsibility to the tribes. Chaos sometimes has re- suited in the few cases in which this has been brought about, and Indians generally oppose the policy.
 Reorganization of the Bureau of Indian Affairs also is among the major recommendations. The declaration calls for abolition of the bureaus area offices with the responsibility of these offices to be turned over to the reservation superintendents.

Interior Dept. Says Enough Sea Lions in Alaska for Harvesting

WASHINGTON R - The h. terior Department said today there may be enough Steller's sea lions in Alaska waters to support a commercial operations for harvesting them for conVer- sion to animal and fish need.
 The department made public a bulletin summarizing an ex- perimental sea lion harvest con- ducted by a commercial fishing company under contract with the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries.
 The harvest yielded more than 200 tons of high-protein ground meat which was sold as feed to mink 1aisers.
 The report said there is a big demand for high-protein, loW-fat, meat by fur farms and fish hatcheries of Western and Mid western states.
 Possibilities for other uses exist but these are dependent upon a stable annual harvest, :" the department said. "Sea lion meat is about 73 per cent water, per cent fat, and more than 20 per cent protein"
 The harvest was conducted in research to control the sea lions because of complaints they wreak havoc on fishing gear and catches during harvest time and prey on fishing stock.

14-Year-old Boy Perishes on Mt. Rainier

LONGMLRE, Wash. R - A IA year-old boy who was missing on 14,410-foot Mt. Rainier since Sun day afternoon was found dead by searchers late Monday.
 The body of Brian Crecelius, of Vashon, Wash, was located in a Assure a mile from Paradise Valley.
 Ruben Hart, chief ranger in the park, said the boy apparently fell into the crevasse and was killed outright.
 The boys father, Carlyle Greece lus, found the tracks going down a slope for about fifty yards. There were signs of a slide. Searchers continued to follow the tracks and discovered the boy under a shelf of snow.
 The boy had started up the rugged peak in hopes of joining his older brother, who was with party of hikers at the 10000 foot level, his father said.
