Library Donotes
Books TO Prison

for the prison library Of the
Ohio State Penitentiary by a
former Cleveland reporter who
got the idea while posing as a
prisoner, for story purposes, al
the institution.
AS state editor Of the old
Cleveland News, John j. Bor-
kowski discovered, as a pseudo
state prisoner, that the library
in the Columbus institution was
pitifully shy of books of any
type.
The few novels on the
shelves, he found, were, for the
most part, worn out and thread
bare. By actual count there
were more prisoners than there
were books for them to read.
He reported this in the News
and soon generous readers be-
gan phoning in offers of books
rescued from oblivion in hun
dreds of attics and home IL
braries.
When his paper went out of
business, Borkowski joined the
Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Company. He continued to ap-
peal for books for prisoners.
and hit the jackpot at the East
Cleveland Library.

Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith live
next door to each other in your neigh
borhood. One day this week they
were both invited to very fancy
party. The ladies as we'll as their hus-
bands looked forward with much en-
thusiasm and excitement to the
occasion.
Naturally as women are wont to
do, there was much shopping planned
and done. New shirts for the hus-
bands-new outfits for the ladies.
Came the night of the gala event,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were ready and
eager to be on their way to the
party. The couple stopped at the
Smith home to pick up their friends
but alas, Mrs. Smith was too ia
tigued and Mr.. Smith too irritated to
go. Sadly, the Joneses left without
them.
What happened to the Smith fam
lily in the interim to spoil their plans?
Why were the Jones so fresh and
active at the end of the busy day
which saw much preparation for the
long-awaited event?
Well, it seems that Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Smith were going shopping to-
gether. However, Mrs. Smith decided
she would 60 it alone because of some

Fire Losses
Skyroeket>
Report Says

Fire losses in East Cleveland
were more than five times
greater during the first three
months of 1862 than they were
for the same period of time
in 1861, it was reported to the
City Commissioners Tuesday
night.
This was despite the fact
there was one less fire (47 to
49,.
So far this year, the report
stated, fire damages totaled
$51, 900 as compared to s9,505
in 1861.
According to Fire Chief Fred
W. Lange, "The increase in fire
loss was due primarily to a
$4,000 blaze which burned a
building containing doctors
offices at 1900 Euclid ave,
and a $4,000 fire in an apart
ment at 1884 Chapman ave-"
The report from the city
managers office also revealed
that during the first three
months construction started on
the following large projects.
One 39-suite apartment at
16OO4-16 Euclid ave-, $685., 900;
One doughtnut store, 1896 Eu-
clid, $35, 900; Addition to Roz-
ellie School, 1913 Phillips ave-,
S144,000; addition to Case OBJ
servatory, S150,000.
This totals up to 1864 900 in
building for the first three
months of the year.
At the special meeting the
City Commission authorized
City Manager Charles A. Car
ran to advertise for bids for
waste removal and disposal.
Specifications will include
construction and equipping of
a baling plant at the site of
the present city incinerator at
Eddy Road and the New York
Central Railroad.
Finance Director Grant T.
Apthorp said a 10-year con-
tract would be sought.
The city now trucks non
burnable refuse to dumps neal
Chesterland and Median. Burn
able materials are handled in
the incinerator, which Apthorp
has described as antiquated.

On that first Easter Day, these words
Were uttered, came to be
The call TO Christians everywhere
Down through each century.
Three tiny words, first whispered, grew
In volume, became strong
They gave the Christian Faith the will.
The strength TO carry on
Had Iesus, solely lived then died
In torture on cross
His life, His death would be in vain
Both would have been loss
Christ BY his resurrection, knew
That he must show the way
Man could beeve-man then could hope
To be with Him some day.
Even in life find that
Am separated when
| sin but in repentance know
| am with Him again,
Thus | believe when life is o<
Christs promise made TO me
For HE is RISEN and awaits
Me in eternity.

Told I'VE Don't Do Your
Peoples Hair" Pretty
Librarian Awarded $3.50


San Diego, Calf. (ANP) - A
librarian for General Dynamics
Astronautics, who was told I'VE
don't do your peoples hair" has
been awarded $3.50 in a discrim-
nation suit against the proprietor
of San Diego beauty salon.
Miss Claudett Johnson, a pretty
young Negro girl, won the suit
against James P. Keough, who
operates a beauty salon located in
Boldricks shoe store.
Miss johnson was referred to
the salon by a modelling school
which she was attending. After
the appointment had been made
and she appeared at the salon, she
was informed of the discrimin-
atory policy.
Keough told the court that he
didn't think he could do a good
job because of trouble he had with
two Negro customers in the past.
Eyebrows were raised, however,
when Judge Huntington Bledsoe
stated that Miss Johnson's hair
appeared to be straighter than
some white peoples hair. After
this observation, the judged ruled
in the librarians favor.
The suit was handled by Mont
gomery and Maddox.
