A not-too- often heard of, but
important body has given city
officials the go-ahead on pro-
viding relief for residents who
suffer during extreme rain
falls.
The unheralded group con-
vening last Saturday is the
Fact Finding and Advisory
Commission for Forest Hills
Park.
The city commissioners had
petitioned this all-important
body to consider the construc-
tion of a dam capable of hold
ing back some 80 million gal
Ions Of flood water over six
acres in the park area.
The park commission approx
ed the idea and suggested that
both East Cleveland and Cleve-
land Heights consider legisla-
ton action.
Local commissioners are ex-
pected to give the final stamp
of approval for the project at
its meeting next Tuesday.
The cost of this to East Cleve-
land would be nominal because
Builder Marvin Helf has of
fered to donate some 10000 Gu
bic yards of dirt for the project.
This material would come
from an excavation for another
Helf high rise apartment at
Terrace and Superior rds.
The dam contemplated would
be 35 feet high and will be To-
Gated in the lower valley of For
est Hills park between Forest
Hills blvd. and Superior rd.
Would Form Lake
1t is expected that when the
heavy rains come to East Cleve-
land a dam such as is proposed
could retain enough water to
form a lake as big as the pres
ent one in Forest Park.
The project would be a COM
bined effort of East Cleveland
Cleveland Heights and Cleve-
land.
According to East CLEVELAND
City Engineer Malcolm S. Doug,
las, the sewers in the area are
Just not big enough to carry of
the waters when there is a
heavy downpour.
"The amount of drainage
water delivered to Dugway
Brook by the tributary areas
has been increasing in quantity
through the years" he said. 1T
is now to the point where the
water load exceeds the capaci-
ties of the sewers between For
est Hill park and Lake Erie to
the extent that serious flood
ing and damage has occurred on
several occasions in East Cleve-
land, Cleveland Heights, and
Cleveland"
Rebuilding Too Expensive
Douglas added that the re-
building Of existing sewers be-
tween Forest Hill Park and

Liberaee Delights
Attentive Audience
Bv BETTYE McPHEE

1t was a grand evening at the
Civic Center when Liberace added
his name to the impressive list of
stars who have performed there.
The enthusiasm of the audience was
ample proof that his title of ''Mr.
Showmanship" has been well
earned.
The glitter gadgets were all in
ence--candelabra, dazzling
costumes and a gold-plated hand
microphone. They added to the fun,
but were overshadowed by Liber-
aces outstanding music and his
great personality projection.
The rapidly-pacedprogramw was
marked by its variety. From Chop
sticks to Chopin--from the Piano
Roll Blues to excerpts from
Tschaikowsky, the wide choice of
numbers and the ever-changing
moods and tempos made for most
pleasant listening. Everyone has
favorites but perhaps the high
points of Liberace's performance
were the selections from George
Gershwin, a music-box variation
on familiar theme which made the
concert grand piano sound very like
a harpsichord, and a charming in
terpretation of Debussy's Claire
de Lune.
