An admirer of quilts is going to
Tiave the rare opportunity of be
coming the proud possessor of not
only a beautiful quilt—the handi
work of a skilled craftswoman—
but a quilt with a unique history.
The sale price of the quilt will be
come the gift of Mrs. J. Curtiss,
1888 Burnette ave., to the building
fund of the East Cleveland YMCA.
Shown with the quilt is Mrs.
Curtiss who has taken the thou
sands of tiny stitches to create
the multi-colored puff block pat
tern with an inner design and bor
der of black. All material in the
quilt is new, good quality silk, and
it is hand-tied.
The Parade personnel will form
at Lee rd. and Euclid ave. and
move at 6:15 p. m. along the main
artery to Shaw ave. and thence to
Shaw Stadium where the young
diamond stars will perform for
their parents and friends in six

Congratulations to our gradu
ates, from whatever grade to what
ever class or job. Educating our
youth is the best investment so
ciety can make to assure a better
world tomorrow, providing the
education is for head, hand and
heart.
Congratulations too, to the Rev.
Earle C. Hochwald, minister of
East Cleveland Congregational
Church. At the annual meeting of
the Church Conference just held in
Newport, Ky., Rev. Hochwald
was elected to Conference Preacher
in 1955. Congregation and pastor
are honored.
This Clean-up, Paint-up, Fix-up
Drive is one in which it is well to
keep up with the Joneses. One yard
gets raked and cleaned soon
another follows suit. One house is
repaired soon another hears
the sound of hammer or saw. One
house is painted ... soon the
brusnes are busy on another. So
it goes through the neighborhood,
along the street, helping the city’s
“face-lifting project. For one we
can approve of “keeping up with
the Joneses.”
Please be reminded: The letter
you send to the editor must be
signed. One received this week
was good but minus signature, ad
dress, phone number, it could not
be published.
She was neatness itself until
she tossed that gum wrapper on
the sidewalk. That spoiled it all.

Y Fund Climbs
Nearer To Goal
In Week's Tally
At the latest report meeting for
the East Cleveland part of th*
YMCA fund drive volunteer soli
citors reported $27,854 in paid or
pledged gifts. This is an increase
of $11,659 over the previous report
to make a total of 46.2 per cent of
goal reached. The goal is $60,000
toward the $155,000 building.
Chairman Ralph Wagner state*
that every effort is being made to
cover all cards out, but should
someone have been missed, or if
there are others who would like
to have a part in bringing the new
Y House to East Cleveland, they
may send their contribution to the
YMCA, 1819 Lee rd. or ask to have
someone call on them.
Chairma Wagner explains that
pledges may be paid $1.00 monthly
over a period of three years, or on
whatever terms the donor desires.
The YMCA Committee has made
a good suggestion for someone who
may be looking about for a really
worthy project to aid as a mem
orial to a loved one. Such a gift,
says Executive Secretary William
V. Cumler, could be a club, room,
game room, lobby or office with
an appropriate plaque. Anyone in
terested, please call the Y at GL.
