Tax Bill Due:
Pay At Bank
Or By Mail
County Treasurer, Leslie R. Mon
roe, announces the real estate tax
collection for the first half 1949
will open on Monday, February 13,
nd close on Saturday, March 4.
The tax bills for the first half
of 1949 will be mailed on Friday,
February 10, and should be in the
bands of the taxpayer no later
than Wednesday, February 15.
County Treasurer Monroe, warns
that failure to receive a bill by mail
does not excuse the non-payment
of taxes and he suggests that any
taxpayer who does not receive a
bill in the mail to call the County
Treasurer’s office, CHerry 2700,
•nd the bill will be mailed prompt
ly, or you may call in person at the
treasurer’s office. to the Court
lou il and pick up tfelHnlk'
Monroe encourages and stig£ests
the payment of taxes by mail, in
order to save time and convenience
to the taxpayer. Taxpayers should
•end their check or postal money
order with a self addressed stamp
ed envelope for the return of the
receipt. The Treasurer also states
that many banks receive real est
ate taxes and if it is impossible
for taxpayers to mail their check
dr come to the .Court House they
may go to the nearest neighbor
hood bank where arrangements for
payment can be made.
Pay Wrong Boy
On January 28th when John Kes
sler, 12, 1742 Eddy rd., went to
collect for having delivered the
News, he was surprised to be told
by two customers that they had
paid two young boys who came to
their door. The hoys said they were
collecting for the regular carrier,
who was ill. It was all news to
Johnny, bad news.
At The Same Old Stand
Since the death of Mr. Mac
Krieger, popular dry cleaner in
East Cleveland at Euclid and Tay
lor for more than 20 years, there
have been rumors that the store
would be sold. This is incorrect.
The store will continue in business
with the same policies and service
as in the past and Betty Schuene
man will continue as manager.
There were 19,299 chest x-rays
taken of East Clevelanders of
which 18,896 were found to be nor
mal. The other 403 had some ab
normal finding such as TB, su».
pected TB, some other chest dis
ease or heart disease which w’a»
revealed by means of the x-ray.
While 1949 revealed the highest
number of newly diagnosed tuber
culosis cases in the history of the
department, the figure need give
no cause for alarm. This was the
purpose of the survey, to search
out unknown tuberculosis cases
and to bring prompt treatment to
the patients. Of the eight tubercu
lar patients who died during the
year, five died from other causes.
The Cuyahoga County TB clinic
reports 617 visits, 459 x-ray ex
ams, 11 hospital admissions and 12
hospital discharges.

Volume No. IX—No. 5 East Cleveland, Ohio 12,800 Circulation Guaranteed Thursday, February 2, 1950
Next Wednesday is the time for
all Mayfair P.T.A.’ers, past and
present, to get, together in recog
nition of 25 years of service to
their school and the community.
On that day, February 8th, at
8:00 p.m. Mayfair will celebrate
its Silver Anniversary. Mrs. Clar
ence Guenther, President, and the
Executive Committee have put
forth much time and effort to make
this a gala occasion.
Miss Sarah Wynkoop, Principal,
also extends an invitation to Open
House.
Those who haven’t been to May
fair recently will be pleasantly
surprised to see the beautifully
redecorated classrooms with new
lighting equipment.
For their silver anniversary pro
gram Miss Hauch, who taught at
Mayfair for 25 years, will come
over from Chambers School to pay
tribute to the founders of the May
fair PT A and the members who
have carried on its program so
splendidly all through this quarter
of a century. Music will be furn
ished by the Ohio Bell Quartet and
the Kirk String Ensemble, under
S. Robert Fraser, will play during
the refreshment hour.
Turning back the pages of May
fair records, one notes with pride
the fact that through the years,
the PTA as been a financial sup
port, purchasing gifts and doing
welfare work that could not possi
bly have been accomplished with
out its ever willing help. In help
ing others, Mayfair has become a
strong unit in the city’s PTA circle.
When Mayfair school was opened
in the fall of 1920, the mothers of
the first pupils, eager for a closer
school contact, combined with
Chambers to form the Mayfair
Chambers Mothers Club. In 1923
Basketbail Equipment
Disappears From Park'.d
Furniture, basketball equipment
and a hand truck are among the
reported missing items of the week.
John Weir, a traffic guard,
noticed that the board and the
basket on the basektball court at
Pattison Field was missing Janu
ary 28th. The equipment was city
property.
Julius Kleine told police that a
two-wheel hand truck with rubber
tires which he parked in the rear
of the Gold Market, 1405 Hayden
ave., disappeared over the night of
January 26th. Mrs. Kleiner works
at the market.
An antique dresser, a walnut bed
and rocker, and a bedspring, prop
erty of Mrs. Helen L. Bratt, are
reported as missing from a locker
in the apartment at 13777 Euclid
ave., where she resides. The pieces
were old, but of value to their
owner.
Chambers became affiliated with
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers and Mayfair followed
suit in 1924.
Mi s. Bernard Clarke, then a sub
stitute teacher at Mayfair'and act
ive in the Mother’s Club was ap
pointed Mayfair PTA president by
Joseph E. Pettit, the principal, Mrs.
Clark, now at Cleveland’s Taylor
School, will be a guest at the anni
versary party.
Initial planning brought the new
unit face to face with the problem
of finances, but realizing one must
often spend money to earn money,
the women bought equipment and
started a series of card parties
which proved’ successful. Thus
their treasury was off to a start.
The first sponsored classes came
in 1972 when gym classes were
started as a regular school activ
ity. The next year the unit swung
into philanthropic work which has
continued to be one o£ its chief
activities.
Mayfair has always been con
cerned with the safety of children
going to and coming from school.
They were instrumental in getting
the city to install traffic signals
at the Mayfair-Hayden intersection

other, Carol Patti, is still at Rain

Chairman Addams reports an un
usually good response to the drive
in the neighborhoods where ther
are polio-ill children. “It’s a case
of having polio come close to them,
seeing what it really means to
the sufferer and his family,’’ com
ments a captain in one of these
districts.
If you have been missed, were
not at home when the volunteer
called for your contribution, you
can still give. Send your check to
