Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Departing minister says
EAST Cleveland needs vision,
planning and form of gov
ernment that would allow the
whole city a voice in the gov
ernment."
Certainly the City of East
Cleveland hasn't attained it's
place among the best governed
cities by lack of Vision and
Planning.
The yearly statements of
affairs of the City of East
Cleveland, starting, from the
day Mr.. Charles A. Carran took
over the management of the
city, prove that there has been
plenty Of Vision and Planning,
and that nothing has been left
undone in carrying out it's
planning.
The Police and Fire Depart
ments are Tops, as are the
other departments Of the city.
The East Cleveland Commu-
nifty Council was organized to
give the people voice in the
city government. Representa-
tives Of Churches, Patriotic Or
ganizations, Parent Teacher AS
sociations, Knights of Colum-
bus, Civic Organizations, and
other Organizations, make up
the membership of the Council.
The purpose of the Council
is to bring to the attention Of
the City Government things it
believes needs the attention of
the City Government.
One Of the accomplishments
of the Council was preventing
a County Commission from tax
ing over the land, buildings and
other property and personnel
of not only the libraries in the
city of East Cleveland, but also
Of Cleveland Heights, Lakewood
and other municipalities in
Cuyahoga County.
1t seems to be the thing to-
lay to want to change the
heads of government, the way
,ity officials are elected, and
the way governments are op-
Grated.
Let's keep what we know is

Your Little Friends
Are Wrong

TO Mrs. F. L. D., HydttSUille
Mrs. A. w. D., Ldnham
When she had put her dolls
to bed, Virginia O'Hanlon of
New York wrote to the New
York Sun, and asked him the
question, us there a Santa
CLAUSE"
Here, in part, is the reply
which you requested in RICH
not too long ago.
"Virginia, your little
friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the skeptic-
ism of a skeptical age. They
do not believe except they
see. They think that nothing
can be which is not compre-
hensible by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children'S,
are little. In this great uni
verse of ours man is a mere
insect, an ant, in his intel
lect, as compared with the
boundleSs world about him,
as measured by the intelli-
gence capable of grasping the
whole of truth and know
ledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists as
certainly as love and gener-
osity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound
and give to our life its high
est beauty and joy. Alas!
How dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa
Claus. 1t would be as dreary
= as if there were no Virginias.
There would be no childlike
faith then, no poetry, no ro-
nance. to make tolerable this
existence. We should have
no enjoyment. except in sense
and sight. The eternal light
. with which childhood fills
the world would be extin-
guished.
Not believe in Santa
Claus! You might get your
papa to hire men to watch
in all the chimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did
not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. The
( HloSC real Things IN the world
are those that neither chill
dren nor men can see. Did
you ever see elves dancing on
the lawn? OF course not, but
that's no proof that they are
not there. Nobody can con-
celve or imagine all the Won
ders there are unseen and
unseeable in the world.
mo Santa Claus! Thank
God! He lives and he lives
forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia, nay, 10
times 10000 years from now,
he will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood"

School Case

Negroes had failed to prove a
case against them. Judge Lewis
indicated earlier he was going to
rule on all motions when he dis
poses Of the case.
Choice Questioned
The Judge questioned assistant
attorney general Robert D. Neil
Waine, III, about tuition grants
involved in the states freedom
CT choice school program. "The
thing that disturbs me is the
simple use of the English word.
choice Judge Lewis said. IF
l am reduced to one. do l have
a choice? II you give me a
choice l have got to have more
than one option" Judge Lewis re-
ferred to the operation of only
private schools in the county
here.
McIlwaine argued that the
state law doesn't mean the
schools have TO be provided in
the same political subdivision.
Attorney General Frederick
Gray commended that the state
has in no sense frustrated or
circumvented any order Of this
court. In response to a question
from Judge Lewis, Gray said he
thought the judge will find it very
difficult to say the county can
not grant a tax credit to the
private schools when the federal
government gives a tax credit.
Yesterday there were broad
hints that the case will be ap-
pealed to the United States Su-
preme Court regardless of its out
come. At one point. Judge Lewis
interrupted Denny to observe that
he was apparently preparing"
his arguments for the Supreme
Court. Il frankly think it should
go to the Supreme Court" Judge
Lewis said.
