Ho,U to Keep Cool, Ca
These Hot August Days

Hot summer days from early July to early
September are frequently termed Dog Days"
Modern air conditioning has taken some of the
sting from these sweltering periods but nonethe-
less one can get dog tired" from shopping tour.
Instead of beating ones brains out or
baking them, as the case may be ). it certainly
makes good sense to avoid long, hot jaunts and
steaming crowds.
The wise shopper plans her trip beforehand
so that she may make minimum of stops and
limit her time spent out in the heat of the day.
With so many merchants in the immediate
area handling multitude of products at mini
mum of cost, it is sheer madness TO contend with
four and five hour shopping trips.
Don't let the heat gel you down keep
cool

A dedicated teacher; a de.
voted sister; the high hopes
of several mothers with un-
flinching faith and love.
These are the everlasting
memories of q Friday morning
spent at the High Hopes School
for Retarded Children at the
Lake Shore Christian Church,
28010 Lake Shore blvd.
These are memories imbedded
by a two-hour stint at the
school-a period of remorse
that there are such youngsters
"a time of gratitude that there
are teachers for these children
and a solemn admiration for
the parents who love these
sons and daughters as YOU and

Why This Story?
Why print such a story as
this?
The article is appearing in
this paper at the specific re-
quest of the parents and others
who seek to expand High Hopes
so they may aid other such
youngsters.

in this area to know more

Work Has Changed
Tall and ash blonde, with a
calm manner of speaking, Mrs
Weaver acknowledged that wei.
fare work has changed to a
certain extent since she was
previously on the job. While
she will be dealing with the
same general conditions re-
lief cases, domestic problems,
and juvenile delinquency, the
psychological overtones are diff
ferent.
Mrs. Weaver's job requires
that she work closely with
other welfare and social agen-

the fact that this organization
is deserving of much help.
Here is how the group came
to be organized.
In sheer desperation and dis
appointment, Mrs. Robert Tuck
er requested through news
paper articles, that parents of
retarded children and other in
terested persons get together
in the hope of sponsoring a
school.
Need Pointed Out
The great need for a school
to help those youngsters not
eligible to enter any existing
school because of their low
learning potential and under
developed personal habits was
pointed out to those present at
a meeting in November of last
year at Smiths Restaurant.
By January of this year, the
group formally organized and
started proceedings to incorpor-
ate as a non-profit organiza-
tions to be called High Hopes
School, Inc.

president; Mrs. Tucker, vice
president; Ralph Zuponcic, sec
retary and Genevieve Kern,
treasurer.

of finding classroom facilities
were of no avail.
However, articles in this
news paper and church bulletins
resulted in the Lake Shore
church offering space on the
second floor for $50 per month.
School Opens in May
School was officially opened
last May with ten children and
Mrs. Matte Mason assuming
the teaching duties.
One of the many volunteers
assisting her this summer, is
19-year-old Kitty Smith, a soph-
omore at st. Mary of the
Spring College in Columbus.
Miss Smith is the sister of
nine-year-old lad in the class.
Her devotion to her brother
was apparent when she gave
us permission to identify her in
this article.
Kitty plans to 60 into teach

but children fur
ther handicapped by cerebral
palsy and blindness.
The High Hopes School par
ent group meets the first Mon
day of each month in it's class
room.
Here the group discusses it's
problems and its aims. This
school is being observed by all
education and mental groups
because it is the first of its
kind in this area to cater to
the very severely mentally ham
dicapped.
Its aims are TO expand itself
TO accept more children who
need it's help and training.
The ultimate goal is to not
only train, but to eventually
set up a we'll equipped dlagno-
tic center, occupational physi-
al, and speech therapy, and a
nome to give a haven and shell
,er against future financial and
family developments.
No Affiliations
An emphasis that the High .
Hopes group wish to bring
forth is that they are non-sec-
,arian and non-political and
nave no affiliations or are not
n competition with any other
organization.
Regardless of what other
handicaps the child bears, if

and eleven. he is eligible for

with welfare work, as there Is
paper work." says Mrs
! Weaver.
Help Always Available
"You never know" she adds
whats coming next. In GER
tain sense, welfare work is
essentially passive; the facili-
ties and personnel to help peo-
pie are always available, but
it still remains that those who
need these services must ap-
proach the Welfare Department
voluntarily. In the case of those
who come afoul of the law, of
course, circumstances are a
little different"
State subsidy, as well as
County aid for aged, blind, de-
pendent children, etc, all con-
tribute to the financial end of
our city's welfare program.
Surplus foods from the county
are also a material contribu-
ton. Only three per cent of
each city dollar is expended on
Health and Welfare.
Avid Bowler
Off-duty, Mrs. Weaver is an
avid bowler. She also enjoys
cooking, as her contribution to
the welfare of her own home.
Since their move to the Terrace
Park apartments, she is no
longer frustrated by her aller-
gy toward gardening the
problem is literally taken out
of her hands.
With her previous experience
as Welfare chief" as a founda-
ton, Margaret Weaver is con-
fident that her job will be in
teresting, and Of service to the
community.
"There are so many things
you can do to help people, she
said, well just wait for peo-
pie to come to u.s."

Senior League
The two finaliSts in the Sen
Tor League playoff series, which
will also get under way next
week, will be decided in to-
nights game between the Sny-
der Fords and the Kiwanis
Club at Skating Rink Field.
If Snyder's wins tonight's
important contest. they will
finish their schedule with a
9-5 record.
A Kiwanis Club victory will
give them a first place tie with
Flynn-Froelk Funeral Home
and an 11-S season mark.
In other words, regardless Of
the winner Of tonight's game.
a tie will ensue in one Of the
two divisions and require a
playoff next Monday at Skating
Rink Field.
SNYDER Best Defensivelv
The Snyder nine has won
their last six games and own
the best defensive record in the
league.
Their shortstop, John Frame,
is the leading hitter in the
league with a current batting
average Of .512 and he also is
tops in the RBI department
with 20 in IS games.
He has struck out only three
times in 40 appearances at the
plate.
Frank Salvo is the kiwan-
isn's leading hitter with a ,406
average and Jim Morrison is
also a potent batsman with a
81 average. The kiwanis nine
is extremely active on the base
path, having stolen 1877 bases
in IS games.
Bob Schweitzer, who has
hurled a no-hit game this seas
on, will probably get the pitch
ing assignment for the kiwanis
Club in quest Of his sixth vic
tory without a loss.
Larry O'Malley, who has a
current pitching record Of SO
and leads the league in strike
outs with 50. will probably take
the mound for the Snyder
entry.
