tAST Mail Addresses Business: 814 East 152nd Street Phone: Glenville 1-4383 News: 14600 Euclid Avenue Apt. 302 The second of Cleveland’s ten proposed new YMCA Buildings is ready to hang out the “Open for Business” sign. Dedication of the new 175,000 East Cleveland YMCA community Building will begin with official ceremonies at Sunday, January 29th and continue through Sunday, February 5th. The Dedication Week observance is made up of specific “days” and “nights” honoring various seg ments of the civic, service, and edu cational groups of the community who have played an important part in the growth of the East Cleve land Y Branch. On the official day of dedication the keynote speaker will be Fred W. Ramsey, longtime Y layman r.nd Cleveland business leader. Mr. Ramsey is known in Y circles n round the globe for his dedicated services to this Young Man’s Chris tian Association. Currently he is z the director of the Cleveland Re gional office of the Small Business Administration. Located at the site of the pre Fent branch house, 1819 Lee blvd., the new facility is attractively de signed for its individual services. Its dimensions are 132 58 feet. The 34 38 All-Purpose room has an all-glass facade to the north, and just outside later a patio and outdoor activities will attract. On the ground floor are the offices and lounge, four club rooms, a craft room, offices and a modern banquet kitchen equipped to meet the demands for such a kitchen in a building where many groups will meet. Basement space, added following the acceptance of the original drawings, allows additional recrea tional area for archery, fencing and more active activities. The structure is engineered to allow the addition of gym or pool facilities when funds permit. Extra heating pipes dead-end at the outer walls, and the furnace room is sized to take two additional furnaces. Wiring has also been carefully blue printed for expansion later. Parking space is ample, a most valuable factor. Color schemes and furnishings are well chosen. For the people of East Cleve land, the new structure culminates a 35-year period of waiting. E. V. Rasmussen, present Cleve land general secretary, was the first executive secretary at East Cleveland, serving in that posi tion from 1921 to 1935. Erie Chapman, now general secretary of the Toledo YMCA, was the inch’s second executive secretary, plding the post from 1936 to 1941. In 1941 the executive secretary reins moved to the hands of William V. Cumler. Early this month Cumler moved to the helm of Business Men’s Club at Central Branch and Gordon C. Esch took the East Cleveland post. Prior to this Esch was executive secretary at the Glenville Branch. The new Brooklyn-Parma Brknch YMCA opened the doors of its Claud Foster Building last Sep tember 11th. During Dedication Week observances there, some 46,000 people toured the gleam- A tradition of lawlessness and lack of proper training of a child in its earliest years is attributed by Judge Stanton Addams to the ju venile delinquency problem every where. Judge Addams spoke to the Mayfair PTA January 11th and said, in part: “We hear much about the prob lem of juvenile delinquency which has always been a serious one in this country because in the United States we have something akin to a tradition of lawlessness. “There has been a rise in delin quency due to one simple factor— the rise in population. Today’s juvenile delinquency rate per unit of population is less than one-half 7 of what it was in 1919 when 69 out of every thousand children in this county were delinquent Today only v 30 out of every thousand children are delinquent “In 1954 there were 3305 delin quent children in Cuyahoga County compared with 3525 in 1955. There was an increase of 6% in the num ber of delinquents as against an 8% rise in population. Thus the delinquency rate actually decreased. These figures do not include 2600 juvenile traffic offenders of whom only 80 were girls. “However, there is still the prob lem of both juvenile and adult delinquency. Seventy per cent of our delinquent children come from broken homes, and due to the mech. 1 anization and motorization of modern life the radio, movies, television and the automobile domestic discipline is no longer the 1 potent force it formerly was. 14101 EUCLID AVEKUfc EAST CLEVELAND, O.

Polio Leaders In Pre-March Meeting Judge Stanton Addams, chair man of the Porchlight Mothers March January 81st, today an nounces a meeting for Captains, Street Lieutenants and any assist ants who may care to come. The meeting will be held at 2:00 p. m. Tuesday, January 24th at theAddams’ home, 13800 Superior rd. Mrs. Alccwyn Isaac, co-chairman, will introduce Miss Helen Mannix of the Cleveland Polio Foundation, who will give a report on the Salk Vaccine and other “new” news in the polio field. Juvenile Delinquency Is Due To Lack Of Early Training, Addams Says “The great fluidity of our popu lation has largely destroyed the social influences of the neighbor hood. Here people make their living in one section, live in another, and have their social life in a third. “The real crime problem begins in neglected childhood. The wisdom of the philosopher who said, ’Give me the first 7 years of a child’s life and I care not who may have the rest,’ is confirmed by Freud who said educators must transfer the main emphasis in education to the earliest years in childhood ‘The little human being is frequent ly a finished product in his fourth or fifth year and only gradually reveals in later years what lies buried in him.’ “Hence the importance of a thor ough system of religious education in the community and participation therein by every child. Unfortun ately in this community too many parents do not cooperate in provid ing religious education for their children nor do they set an example for them. They do not contribute to the church in a sufficient amount to defray the cost of religious edu cation of their children nor do they join the church where their children are receiving religious training. “In a new community socially conscious parents assume the burd en of building new churches in ad dition to maintaining them. In East Cleveland where the churches arq already built, there are not only operating costs but remodeling costs. And the parents are not bearing their share of this expense.” Ike Honored && y I 1 I k®’ J' x* i Fred W. Ramsey ing new facilities.
