Thank You Bad weather shrank the gross, but the small crowd that at tended the Shaw-Lakewood game last Friday night at Shaw Sta dium were generous. They con tributed a total of $134.03 to the school’s polio fund, which will be turned over to the National Foundation for Infantile Para lysis. Not only are th^re more children in East Cleveland’s schools, as shown by this fall's enrollment figure of 5379 pupils announced last month, but larger classes are heading toward the more expensive high school years. This influx will be reached during the five-year life of the proposed 8-mill operat ing renewal to be voted on this coming November 8th. This fact, stressing the need for the passage of the levy at the polls, on Election Day is pointed out by Dr. O. J. Korb, Superin tendent of Schools. “Our total enrollment has in creased more than a hundred over last year’s.figure,” Dr. Korb adds. “The largest classes are the second, third, and fourth grades, all of which will be in Kirk Junior High Schoo) five years from .now and Music Feast At Library Increasing New records added to the collec tion at the East Cleveland Public Library include: Elgar, Sir Edward Enigman Variations, op. 36 Cockaigne-Over ture, op. 40 Serenade in E Minor for String Orchestra, op. 20.

All departments of the school will present exhibits and displays of school work from past years— with emphasis on work done in previous years rathej than at the present time, according to Dr. L. L. Myers, principal at Kirk. Resume Pre School Mother Library Hour Chambers and Mayfair Pre School Mothers are anticipating with pleasure the resuming of the once-a-month Library program for an hour of relaxation, information and meeting Mothers of future classmates of their own small fry. The meetings are held at North Branch Library, 1481 Hayden ave. The first get-together for this season will be on Wednesday, Octo ber 19th, from 10:30 to 11:30 a. m., to hear a talk on “Books and People” by the well-known Mrs. Florence Craig, Director of Adult Education of Cuyahoga County Li brary. At the same time the wee folk will enjoy their own story hour, under direction of Miss Jean Hoffman, children’s librarian. Pre-School chairmen, Mrs. Clair MacNeal of Chamberland Mrs. J. Edgar Dye of Mayfair, together with Mrs. Elna Hukari, Librarian, have planned the season’s program to be of special interest to all mothers of young children. Future programs are: November 16th—American Fam ily Today: The influence of family experiences on personality. This is the first of a new course on “Par ent and Child” given by the Fam ily Health Association. Speaker: Miss Myrtle Chamberlin, Family Life Instructor. The following three sessions: December 14th—“The Family as a group: Family life as a project in group- living.” January 18th—“The Launching Stage: Psychological and social weaning.” February 15th—The other pro grams will be: “Three Genera tion Living.” Parental Responsi bilities for Grandparent^.” March 21st—“Home Gardening.” Speaker: Mr. Luther Karrer, Di rector of Memorial Garden. April 18th “Book Review.” Speaker: A member of the East .Cleveland Public Library Staff. May 16th—Session to be de voted to discussion of next year’s programs. Anticipated 2600 Pupils By 1960 Means More Rooms, More Teachers by far the largest older group is the present seventh grade, who at that time will be Seniors.” Projecting the present figures into the future, the total enroll ment in the two high schools in 1960 will be 2600 pupils, as com pared with the present “high six” total of 2176. This means that space, teachers and facilities for seventeen new classrooms of 25 pupils each, or their equivalent, will have to be provided for in the two high schools by the time this year’s 8-mill levy runs out. Hence the urgent need for the passage of the levy renewal at the polls in November. “High school instruction, be cause of its expanded curriculum, is naturally more costly than ele mentary school,” Dr. Korb pointed out. “The board of Education will have need of every penny of the renewal. Society Assists Many Patients The Annual Meeting of the Cuyahoga Unit, Ohio Division, American Cancer Society, was held October 6th at The Mid-Day Club. Frederick L. Emeny, presi dent, presided.

PT A Blood Bank Aids Five Boys It won’t be new to PTA mem bers to receive a notice to again participate in their own blood bank when the Mobile Unit stops at Shaw High School, Wednes day, October 26th, from 1 to 7 p. m. This week they will be re ceiving their third invitation to contribute. The blood bank started in February with 60 donors. It is expected to grow and grow. As Mr. Kenneth Vermillion, chairman of East Cleveland American Red Cross, says, “it’s like money in the bank to belong to a blood bank.” Mrs. B. J. Andrews, immediate past chairman of East Cleveland Branch Red Cross and at present in charge of schools division of the Blood Bank services, reports that within the past month she was able to supply from the PTA Blood Bank, five urgently needed certificates for blood replacement. They went to one of our own school boys. It was a wonderful feeling for both contributors and the par ents to have the certificates im mediately available in this emer gency. In a new arrangement, one can indicate other organizations which may use the blood donor certifi cate. One may make his card available for his school, his church or his lodge. How better to give a helping hand? Won’t you consider giving one pint of your blood? It will take about one hour of your time. The American Red Cross, which carries out the Citizens* Blood Bank pro gram, will not only supply your transportation to and from Shaw Heigh School, if needed, but also will have a baby sitter on hand if you bring pre-schoolers with you. Should other citizens be inter ested in donating their life giving blood please call Mrs. L. R. Kep linger, MU 1-5760 for an oppoint ment. They're Keeping Their Fingers Crossed ... The William E.

Reading left to right in the rows lit row—Edmund Nagel, Forget-Me-Nots In Remembrance Of Disabled Veterans v'f'l $■ "d What in the world has a refrig erator to do with an injured knee “A great deal” replies G. F. Kibbel, assistant principal at Shaw High School. Explaining, Mr. Kibbel says that so far, the best cold compress found is a frozen Turkish towel. A frozen towel, he points out, has many advantages over the icebag. It is pliable, fitting itself to the contour of the body. It is ready, saving precious seconds which mean reduced swelling and quick er easing of pain, and a frozen towel treated injury responds more quickly. “Our only arawDack to this highly satisfactory compress, says Mr. Kibbel, “is a place to store them.” And this is the link be tween Bruce Turner’s injured knee (in the picture) and the im mediate first aid treatment of a frozen turkish towel by instructor, Niel Skinner of Shaw’s Physical Education department. Obviously, there is but one answer. A refrigerator in which to store plenty of frozen towel compresses. Maybe somoene in East Cleveland School District is about to discard a good used re frigerator for a 1956 model. May be such a person is willing to donate the discarded unit to Shaw. Please call Mr. Kibbel at GL. 1-1750 if this is you.

A. V. How ever, for those who ask “Why should I give, the government takes adequate care of our war time disabled, widows and orphans. The government does not and can not perform the services such as counselling, prosecution of claims, securing employment, direct relief, and all of the many other services that require applications and forms, nor would it be economically practical for the government to perform these services that the people of our country beleive should be performed. “We believe that this cause is most deserving and hope that con tributions will be generous.” VFW Observes Anniversary Saturday Eve Col.
