Apthorp, Chairman ordon S. Esch, Executive Secretary PARSED: January 26, 1956 The Mail Bag Editor, The Leader: I was delighted to read, in the February 23rd issue of the East Cleveland Leader, your letter of thanks from Mr. Frank C. Lewman, Cuyahoga County Chairman of the March of Mothers. However, I would like to add something. For years the Cuyahoga County Office of the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis has asked me to mail them each issue of the Leader which gives news items about the Polio Campaign. The pur pose is not just for their files, but they show these copies to other suburban chairmen as models of what can be done to further a suburban campaign, suggesting that these chairman try to get the same type and amount of publicity. In view of population and income brackets, East Cleveland has always been considered to have the most successful polio campaign. And, as chairman, I realize that our success is in no small degree due to your cooperation and that of Miss Berg. My wife, for years until this year, has been a vice chairman in the Red Cross Fund Drive. She tells me the leaders of this campaign also value The Leader and Miss Elsa Berg’s gracious efforts as we do. You doubtless realize Miss Berg’s tireless cooperation with these and East Cleveland’s other organiza tions. Nevertheless, I wanted to add tny voice of appreciation to The Leader for its public spirited sup pert and Miss Berg’s unusual civic performance. Sincerely yours, Stanton Addams, Chairman, East Cleveland Polio Fund ':T E CLEVELAND LIBRARY* 14101 EUCLID AVENUE EAST CLEVELAND, O. PTA Health Round-Up Schedule Announcement is made today of an important date to parents of children who will be entering the East Cleveland Public Schools for the first time next September. It’s the schedule of the Annual Health and Summer Roundup program. The date for each school, and the Round-up chairman for that school is as follows: ROZELLE—March 15th—Chair man: Mrs. Stanley Rose, LI 1-2398. SUPERIOR—March 16th. Chair man: Mrs. Harold Bergman, YE 2-3856. CALEDONIA March 19th. Chairman: Mrs. Richard B. Jones, UL 1-0684. PROSPECT—March 20th. Chair man: Mrs. C. R. Green, MU 1-1061. CHAMBERS—March 19th and 20th. Chairman: Mrs. S. A. Cap pon, PO 1-2792. MAYFAIR—March 22nd. Chair man, Mrs. Eugene Reeser, UL 1-2492. Started some 25 years ago, the summer roundup was first held during the summer months. How ever, experience has proved the value of the earlier Spring date since it gives parents ample time to have corrected any defect which might be revealed by the check-up. Also, many parents prefer to at tend to these health needs prior to warmer weather. Conducting this important free medical and dental check-up is the school’s Health Department, headed by Dr. M. D. Falls,, Med ical Director Dr. Linda Schneider, School Physician and the nurs ing staff, Miss Nina McWebb, Miss Thelma Furry, and Miss Martha Whitacre. Mothers also help in the day’s activity, lending their talents as hostesses, clerks, etc. The Roundup marks the first official school record’for the child. The health roundup, points out Mrs. Maurice Barnes, Roundup chairman JjgfitCleveland PTA Council, not only offers the op portunity for early correction of defeats and the immunization against communicable desepses, but provides a medium for giv ing the parent valuable instruc tion in child health. “You will be helping yourself, your family and your community if you bring your pre-school age child to the roundup in your neigh borhood school. For further in formation, please call your active district chairman.” Dr. O. J. Korb estimates that some 550 children will be enrolled in the kindergarten classes to be gin their school year with next September.

Red Cross Seeks $11,650 In Door Calls This Sunday On Sunday, March 4th, a band of 5Q0 volunteers will glean the school districts of the city in a drive which is expected to net $11,650 for Red Cross. This Kick-off Day opens the 1956 Fund Drive which extends through March 19th. The East Cleveland workers hope to practically do it up on Sunday. The $11,650 goal is $650 higher than originally quoted, due to the terrific drain on Red Cross Disaster Funds to meet the macedonian cry from the flood stricken peoples of both east and west. Each year Red Cross sets aside a part of all in come for disaster use. Within the past months the demand has far exceeded the fund. And what of tomorrow should disaster strike?
