many other gardening activities,
the Cleveland Public Schools are
offering fall-semester courses for
adults in general Heme Gardening,
and in Flower Arranging.

give the amateur the know-how to
do the job.
Classes begin the week of Sep
tember 13th at Memorial Garden,
410 East 152nd st., two blocks south
of Lake Shore blvd. Courses run
for W weeks, each class group

Special Events Help
Boost Polio Fund
Polio parties and projects, com
plementing personal contributions
in the current emergency drive
here to send the total near the
$1,500-mark so far, reached fever
pitch this week, with no indica
tions of abatement until the con-
elusion of the campaign next week.
One of the earliest and most
intrepid twosomes to do their bit
were the Heisler girls, Rosalind
and Melanie, who are shown above
at their front-yard business estab
lishment at 14808 Dover ave. sell
ing lemonade to a host of youth
ful customers. Rosalind, 11, who
is pouring the fambrosia at a
nickel a glass, has more than a
passing interest in the outcome of
the drive. She was a polio victim
herself in the ’49 outbreak. Her
-year old sister is at her side
holding the tumbler. They are
daughters of the Robert R. Heis
lers, one of the most active couples
in polio campaigns.
More than a dozen new neigh
borhood undertakings are on the
calendar in the immediate past,
present, and future.
One of the most pretentious
events this week is the Auburn
dale avenue carnival and street
fair Saturday night, to be held on
the newly concreted used car lot
at 12645 Euclid ave. Complete to
booths for flowers, 60 homemade
cakes and other baked goods,

two orchestras (Fred Sunkhouas

being engineered by a feminine
quartet composed of Mrs. Mike
Mangino, Mrs. Steve Setteven
demie, Mrs. Rose Manfredonia,
and Mrs. Jean Lacastra. It is be
ing keyed to appeal especially to
neighbors in the westerly end of
town.
With $150 already in their col
lective pockets for polio, children
and adults of the Bryn Mawr
Euclid area climaxed their efforts
with a dajice and bazaar last
night. Under the sponsorship of a
local dairy in that section and its
head, J. M. Peer, four girls were
ringleaders of the effort: Jerry
Freise, Donna May Korecky, Joan
Marino, and Irma Biliter.
Last night also found neighbor
hood friends of Mrs. Herbert
Tucker’s invited to her home at
13424 Forest Hill ave. for a bene
fit bridge party. This evening Mr.
Tucker, with the same objective in
mind, plays host to his poker club.

Mulling over an old Shaw an
nual for likely prospects for the
coming Shaw Alumni dance on
September 10th, are the three grad
uates pictured above who are
working on the committee.
School bells will ring through
out East Cleveland next Tuesday
morning, calling some 5,500 pupils
back to books and classrooms.
This anticipated enrollment for
’54-’55 means an over-all increase
of roughly 300 pupils. At the close
of the school year in June East
Cleveland’s total was 5,206.
Included in the anticipated new
fall figure, according to the Super
Jntend.v.t of East Cleveland J'ubT
lie 3ciiools, Dr. O. J. Korb. are
pupils new to the system, either
as transfers, new residents, or
tuition students.
Of the latter, Dr. Korb, re
ported, the school system neces
sarily limits the number in both
junior and senior high divisions,
so that the teacher-pupil ratio in
the secondary schools are kept
within reason.
A portion of the loss of 211
graduates in the June, ’54, class
at Shaw High School will be ab
sorbed by the 550-600 youngsters
expected to enroll in kindergarten
next week, he said.

Shaw '52 Class
Reunion Wednesday
Class of ’52, Shaw High School,
is instituting a "first” next Wed
nesday night, which members hope
will be number one in a chain of
such annual affairs.
They are holding a reunion, be
ginning at 8 p.m., in the Ameri
can Legion Hall, at Euclid ave.
and Taylor rd. Husbands or “other
attachments,” as the committee-in
charge expresses it, are urged to
join the graduates.
Ex-class officers are organizing
the eve”*: Allan Lynn, who served
as pre lent Mark Morris, vice
president, and Ruth Gerstenberger,
secretary-treasurer.
There will be a slight admission
charge to defray the cost of re
hments i 1 meeting place, ex
plains the committee, inasmuch as
the class has no standing funds.
An “all clear” signal has been
awarded the algae condition at
the lake in Forest Hill Park.
That is the latest word from the
City Engineering Department,
which has been conducting a daily
check on the lake’s surface since
the first operation to check the
algae was performed the latter
part of July.
City Engineer Malcolm S. Doug
las considers “the treatment has
been very effective.”
In a detailed survey made over
the week-end the department
found no trace of the previous
scum.
“The lake has cleared,” stated
Mr. Douglas, “with the exception
of one spot, but we have ascer
tained that that is vegetation and
not algae.”
Zoning Board
Met Tuesday
At Tuesday morning’s meeting
the East Cleveland Board of Zon
ing Appeals, in conjunction with
the Board of Building Code Ap
peals, passed a trio of requests,
rejected one, and continued one.
The appeal of Mrs. Elsie A.
Kirbus for permission to rent one
second-floor and one third-floor
suite in her home at 1849 Alvason
rd. was granted.
Request of transfer of a room
ing house license from a former
owner to the present owner, John
F. Groves, 1825 Wymore ave., also
received an “aye” vote from the
board.
Similar action was taken on the
request of Mrs. Vincent J, Mont
ville to house a foster child at her
residence, 1676 Carlyon rd. This
case has been reviewed and recom
mended by county welfare authori
ties.
Rejected was the bid of Manford
T. Thomas to continue use of his
single family dwelling at 1822
Wellesley st. as a two-family home.
According to the city, the second
dwelling unit was installed with
out a permit.
Under further consideration
until the board’s next meeting is
the appeal of the Shaw Avenue
Church of Christ to use the prop
erty at 13205 Shaw ave. for Sun
day School purposes.

The initial spraying operation,
emptying six gallons of chemicals
on the lake’s surface, was fol
lowed ten days later by a second
spraying of four gallons, the city
engineer said. The chemicals used
are harmless to humans, animals
and fish.
If the contamination should re
appear, the city will employ more
drastic measures to combat the
scum. A charger would be in
stalled to force a continuous flow
of chemicals into the water, ac
cording to Mr. Douglas.
Two causes for the condition are
possible. Either the algae is
merely the result of some surface
contamination, or an unknown
sewage connection emptying into
one of the three sewers of the lake
may be present.
A survey of the storm sewers
showed this flow is not in itself
a possible source of contamination,
the department found.
Banquet For
Boys To Be On
September 22
Final arrangements are now
being made for the Second Annual
East Cleveland Little Leagues Inc.
Banquet which will be held at
Shaw High School on Wednesday
evening, Sepember 22nd.
Members of the Banquet Commit
tee which includes Chairman Bar
ney Fielitz, Gene Bratcher, Jm
Sauto, i Bateman, Horace
Weaver, Roy Wis^’ip and Bob
Keefer are busily e ^aged in pre
paring the program. Members of
the winning teams will be given
trophies, interesting movies will
be shown, a famous guest speaker
will present a short talk and, of
course, a fine meal will whet the
appetites of the local gourmets.
A souvenir program will also be
prepared and presented to all who
attend which will contain all the
pitching, batting and fielding
records.
Because of the limited seating
capacity in the Shaw High Cafe
teria, the attendance will be lim
ited to 450 persons. This means
that parents of the boys who
played on Little League and Pony
League teams as well as the play
ers and parents of the Minor
League champions will be taken
care of on a first come—first
served basis. Letters will be
mailed to each boy who took
in the East Cleveland base
program this summer with an
attached form which parents may
use to make banquet reservations.
Commissioner Roy Wisecup has
announced that a final meeting of
all managers, coaches, umpires,
scorers and league officers will be
held in the Council Chambers of
