In East Cleveland


We journeyed to Columbus Mon
day with Judge Stanton Addams
and Law Director Stanley Web
ster to observe their behavior
as they presented arguments tc
a state legislature committee or
H. B. 667, a proposed law tc
give local municipalities more
home control on the issuance
and location of liquor permits.
Well, we can happily report
back that the two dedicated pub
lic servants did admirably.
They presented their cases as
well as if a huge legal fee was
at stake. We are sure, the COM
mittee on government affairs
can do nothing more than recon-
mend the approval of this bill
after hearing this gallant pair.
1t was pleasant to note that
Judge Adams and Webster
had tremendous support, not
only from other municipal Of
ficers, but from representatives
of civic groups also.
INCIDENTLY, Here are more
reasons why the passage of
H. B. 667 is so important to all
of US!
A recent publicity release
from the Ohio Board of Liquor
Control revealed that 116 permit
holders were cited this week
for 227 alleged violations of Ii
quor laws.
OF these, % or more than %
per cent, were from Cuyahoga
County.
Does this not indicate that
the state lacks ample police
powers to cultail this mass flag
rance of their laws? Does it
not point more strongly to the
need of local control which will
provide the drastically absent
enforcement Of regulations.
OF he % permit holders cited,
three are fairly close to home.
They are establishments at
123151a Superior ave-; 564 East
140th ST.; and 705 East 156th st.
"ANYTHING COMING UP?"
There sure is, writes w. E..
Seitz, chairman of the House
Committee for the East Cleve-
land Baptist Church.
To prove this. he sent US an
outline on what is taking place
at the church's now vacant min
ister's home at 1894 RosemontI
I'D.
As kick-o off for the clean-upI
campaign starting next week,
members of the church have
started Project 1894"
This is massive operation of
repairing, painting and cleaning
up the minister's quarters while
it is vacant-and it all will be-
done by volunteers.
"Ar extensive program of rem
ovation and redecorating has
been carried out" reports our
excited Mr.. Seitz.
Operation 1884" he adds,
'has been instigated by the
church house committee to COM
plete the job Of readying the
buildings and grounds for occu-
pancy by the new pastor and
his family. when that person is
selected.
When the cleanup campaign
starts, Friday, April
29th, you can bet Friend Seitz
and his hard working compan-
ions will set a shining example
and 1894 Rosemont will be a
home envied by all.
II
OFF THE RECORD. And the
cleanup campaign at this house
might just be completed in the
nick Of time. We hear that two
members of the church's selec-
ton committee are in a small,
remote Vermont town, interview
ing a highly desirable applicant.
Access to this tiny New Eng
land village is so difficult, that
The recruiters had to fly to Mon
treal, Canada, and then progress
from there by all modes of an
;lent transportation, perhaps
even by dog sled.
