Management and many other
civic organizations.
He was recently elected pres
ident of the Cleveland District
Methodist Ministers Associa-
ton and also is'a director of the
White Cross Hospital in Column
bus.
That he will be sorely missed
in East Cleveland is apparent
from remarks of many civic
leaders in the community upon
sadly learning Of his forthcom-
ing departure.
In his own church circle,
Frank H. Fellows. lay leader,
had this to say:
"When Mr.. Alexander came
to Windermere three years ago,
he faced a challenge of great
proportions. Fortunately for us,
he was equal to the task and
resolutely set out to develop a
program that would best suit
the changing trends of our
church.
GAS a result of his tireless
efforts and dedication to duty,
Windermere has moved forward
to meet the demands of the day.

We quickly learned to res
pect Kiwanian Thurman F. AL
exander as an individual striving
daily to practice the high ideals
and objectives established for
all kiwanians.
"As chairman of our impor-
tant public affairs committee
and as an elected director Of
Kiwanis, Rev. Alexander con-
tributed inspired leadership and
by his own example, encourage
ment to all. All East Cleveland
kiwanians wish him and his
family the very best in his new
assignment"
Rev. Alexander's fel o W
YMCA board members acclaim
ned his leadership which they
said was only matched by his
devotion to duty and conscien-
tious approach to all of his
commitments.
But, perhaps the greatest tri-
butte to the departing minister is
the one phrase used by all who
have commented on his new
assignment which is:
"We shall miss him greatly"

The first decision of its
type in the country was rem
dered yesterday when Com
mon Pleas Judge William Me-

Not only members Of his
church, but all East Cleveland
is expressing profound regrets
at the sudden announcement
that Rev. Thurman F. Alexander
is leaving his post at the Win
dermere Methodist Church.
The extremity popular cler-
gyman has been summoned by
the Methodist Bishop of the

superintendent of the Cambridge
district.

had to be acted upon quickly in
order to receive confirmation at
the annual Methodist Conference

Board Okays
Rezoniing For
Apartment

Rezoning of the south side of
Terrace I'd. between Noble and
Allendale rds., was recommend
ed to the city commissioners by
the East Cleveland Zoning
Board Tuesday morning.
The request was asked by
Builder Frank c. Virgin, who
plans to construct a 10-story,
148 suite high rise apartment
building on the three and half
acre site. The project is valued
at more than $2112 million.
Because of the details involved
and much protesting at the
meeting by residents in the
neighborhood, city commission
ers are not expected to take up
the question until its July ses-
sion.
Homeowners in the area pro-
tested the rezoning because of
traffic hazards" that they said
would result from the deluxe
apartment.
In the face of some 80 critics,
the zoning board members voted
to recommend rezoning and at
the same time acked that the
complaints registered be care
fully studied before any final
building plans are approved.
The site is presently zoned for
single and two-family residence.
Charles A. Carran, city mana
ger and chairman of the zoning
board, told those at the meeting
they will have ample opportunity
TO register their objections when
the city commissioners act on the
recommendation.
A public hearing will be set
before any action is taken, he
said.
The location Of the proposed
apartment is on the old Schmidt
property. In the immediate area
are several apartment buildings.
