addressed to the parents from Dr.

“Your child received the first
injection of the Poliomyelitis Vac

should occur other than a slight
temperature or a sore arm. If any
questions arise, contact your pri
vate physician. The second in

from today.
The third or final injection
should be given in seven to ten
months. This will not be given
through the school programs. It
will be necessary for you to con

this injection so that jour child
will have completed the series and
will receive the greatest protec

ECBA Gets Clean
Up Progress Report
The Clean-up Campaign of East
Cleveland is being brought to the
attention of all groups within the
city.
Tuesday evening Jack Wise, the
ECBA representative on the com
mittee made a report to that or
ganization. Mr. Wise said he was
amazed at the committee detailed
planning and follow-up plans to
make Ea^t Cleveland a neater ap
pearing city.
His special message to ECBA
members came in an appeal to
clean-up their premises on all
sides, to refrain from stuffing the
wrong waste in the city’s street
waste receptables (as was reported
in at the Clean-up Committee ses
sion) and to extend the sweeping
of their sidewalks to include the
gutter in front of their stores.
ECBA already keeps close tab
on store fronts and display win
dows, reminding members of any
slack in this respect.
In the meanwhile the East Clean
up Committee program is pro
gressing aq is evidenced by the
clearing of a few heavily littered
vacant lots.

From the Police Department
eomes a total of 5660 parking
violations with 5172 tickets paid
void. This leaves a backlog of 488
unpaid parking tickets. It is ex
plained that the First Quarter
normally carries a larger number
of unpaid tickets due to the fact
that new license tags are issued
during this period, meaning that it
takes longer ,in many instance, to
contact the violator.
Violators, it is explained, are
usually given a 10 day leeway in
which to pay a parking ticket
after which a notice is mailed to
them. If there is no response with
in a month, a final notice brings
a visitor to the violators door—an
officer with a warrant.

at Windermere Methodist Church,
Euclid at Holyoke aves., Sunday,
May 1st, in the sancutary at 10:45

All members, from nursery
through high school will form a

The background of the regular
worship service will be used and

Children’s Day service is to as
quaint those who do not partici
pate in this activity with the
primary field of religious educa

opportunity of feeling at home
and more closely related to the
“big church” as some of the young
est school members call it.
All are welcome to share in this

Deny Parking
Dry Cleaning
Zone Appeals
Of the eight cases to .come
before the Thursday, April 21st
zoning session at City Hall, three
and a portion of a fourth appeal
were approved two were denied
and two were continued.
Denied was the appeal of the
Penn Sanitary Laundry and Dry
Cleaning, Inc., Uf erect a building
at 15013 Euclid ave. to be occupied
by its own business and a florist
shop. The request brought up two
points against the appeal. Present
zoning lists this type of business
for a light manufacturing (U4)
zone while the site desired is in a
retail (U3) zone. Furthermore the
property owners did not want a
dry cleaning business nor a
laundry in their neighborhood.
Denied also was the appeal of
The Economy Buick Co. to place
a public-employee parking lot for
customers and employees of the
company on two lots on Hower
ave.
While appreciating the heed for
off-street parking, the request
was not permitted, since, here
again, the site and type of busi
ness did not go together. Park
ink lots in conjunction with a
business are only permitted in a
retail zone. The desired lot is zoned
for residential use only.
Neighboring property owners
opposed the appeal.
Approved was the appeal of the
Grant Builders Inc. to erect four
suite apartments on each of three
Coventry rd. lots. Plans are similar
to their one apartment erection
granted the previous week.
One of the two outdoor phone
booths requested by the Ohio Bell
Telephone Co. was granted, one
denied. Granted is a booth at the
City Parking lot, Hawley Park.
Denied was a booth to be set up
in the island at the intersection
of Phillips ave and Hayden ave.,
in Pattison Park.
Granted was transfer of a room
ing house license to Thomas E.
Launders, from Rose and Raymond
Gnuschke, 1823 Alvason rd.
Continued was the appeal of
Mrs. A. Nowarskas for authority
to locate a tavern at 1368 East
152nd st. (at Coit) in accordance
with requirements of the State
of Ohio D2 and C2 licenses. Many
neighboring property owners were
present to object to the appeal on
grounds of bringing undesirable
people into the area, and causing
a traffic problem.
Continued was the request of
Joseph Ostro to construct a two
story building with exterior
on the lot line at 1540 E9uclid
ave. As a safety measure the
code prohibits windows in such
walls. However, the line abuts a
private drive to Richmond place,
eliminating the usual fire hazard.
Neighbors expressed the desire to
know more about the plans and
hearing.

in
“There will be no gang war
East Cleveland. We will not toler
ate it.”
This is the ultimatum handed
down by Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver after police on Friday eve
ning, April 22nd, nipped in the
bud a planned meeting of opposing^
forces from this city and the Col
linwood area. Instead the East
Cleveland 22 boya suddenly found
themselves in police court, and
were further surprised when their
parents began walking in. The
adults had been summoned quickly
by police.
In the meanwhile, working on
the same tip, Cleveland police
rounded up the Collinwood gang.
As a result 11 of these teen agers
are slated to appear in Juvenile
Court May 9th.
All the East Cleveland boys
were released to the custody of
their parents after being warned
that a second offence of what
ever nature, would bring a Juven
ile Court filing.
School authorities, furnished the
list of the boys, have also inter
viewed them, reports Shaw Prin
cipal, Wayne C. Blough.
As a result of the incident,
which was finished before it
began, due to tips, Chief of
Police Weaver offers this advise
to parents of all growing girls and
boys: “Kno*w where your children
are, what they are doing, with
whom they associate, and require
them to be at honie at a reason
ble hour.”
Sawed off baseball 4ats and
other weapons were confiscated
by police.
Why ths particular gangbattle?
Its the age old answer—a girl.
The purported leader of the gang
is an 18-year old who is said to
have never attended Shaw High
School and does not reside in the
Collinwood area.
