The queenly dark beauty won the approval of the eight judges and the crowd of over 4,000 persons who witnessed the judging at the Wayne County fairgrounds, Wooster, Friday, August 3rd. In addition to the trip to Alantic City, Miss Ohio also won a $1000 scholarship, and A trophy. A pro fessional model and singer, Miss Palmer topped ten other con testants in the final judging. During the judging Miss Palmer sang “Oh the Street Where You Live” from the current Broadway musicale “My Fair Lady.” She has studied voice for four years under private teachers as well as while a student at Louisiana State Uni versity. For the evening gown com petition she wore a full skirted, white organdy, off the shoulder gown. Winning the title, said Miss Palmer, will not alter her plans to continue both her musical and dra matic studies. Crowning the winner was Sharon Kay Ritchie of Denver, the present Miss America. Gov. Frank J. Lausche, made the trophy presen tation. Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Palmer of 14015 Superior rd., were in Wooster for the ceremony. Accom panying them were Miss Robbi’s sister, Barbara, 17, and brother, Brad,11. Mrs. Palmer will accom pany her daughter to Atlantic City. The Palmers came to East Cleve land a year ago from Missouri. Mr. Palmer is a sales manager of the Superior Pneumatic and Manu facturing Co. The city, acting in good faith and complying with a ruling from the state attorney’s office, sold the land to the N. and H. Construction Co., headed by N. H. Dolan, last February as the site of a proposed $350,00 ultra-modem motel. Originally, the city advertised for bids on the property during July and August of last summer, for a period of five weeks as re quired by law. Minimum purchase price set at that time in the ads was $35,000. No bids were received. Then, when it became evident that Mr. Dolan and his associates were interested in purchasing the lot, the Columbus ruling was sought This ruling, based on an opinion handed down in 1950 by the same office, stated that as long as the city had advertised for bids accord ing to legal regulations, it could consummate the sale at some future date, providing the purchase price was no less than that origin ally stated in the advertisements. Miss Ohio Sparks Nela Night A si Harpers Carries Tale By Former Euclid Resident The August issue of Harper’s magazine carries the first pub lished story of Don Moser. Don is a former Euclid resident now in his Senior year at Ohio University. A naturalist at heart, the youth ful writer’s story is entitled, “The Rock Climb.” Mr. Moser was a member of the first class to be graduated from Euclid High School, Janu ary, 1949, entering from old Eu clid Central High School. During his senior year he won second place in a National Scholastic Short Story Contest for high school students. Following his graduation, he w’orked a year before entering Heidelberg College, interrupting his studies two years later for service in the U. S. Army. Last September he enrolled at Ohio University where he is majoring in Creative Writing and Pho tography. Mr. Moser’s second story will appear in a later issue of Harpers. Don is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald L. Moser, his father is employed by the H. K. Ferguson Co. of Cleveland, and is presently located in Sharonville, a suburb of Cincinnati. Brief Stay Conflicting Legal Opinions Halt Stanwood Rd. Motel Construction Conflicting legal interpretations —one by the attorney general’s office in Columbus, the other by a Cleveland land title company have erected hurdles in the path of the new motel construction at Strathmore and Euclid aves. and leave the city with no resources but to re-advertise for bids on the property. The guest who checked In at Hotel Allison, 1310 Superior ave. N. E. Friday, August 10th made his stay brief. But it was long enough to relieve clerk Arthur Schirro of $51. Mr. Schirro, of 14620 Terrace rd. doesn’t exactly relish such “guests.” The construction company, after a few delays in the deal, arranged for final payment of the stipulated sale price, $35,000, in mid-June. Now the land title company is voicing an opinion contrary to the Columbus ruling, questioning clear title to the property because the legal advertising did not take place immediately prior to the sale. With the city caught in the jaws of this legal deadlock and having no other alternative in acquiring clear title, the East Cleveland City Commission at its meeting Tues day, August 7th, voted unanimous ly to re-advertise the property. Now, September 6th will be the earliest possible date for final disposition of the comer lot, where early last week bulldozers had begun to clear the ground of trees and undergrowth. Other business on the commis sion docket August 7th was short and sweet. A parcel of city-owned land on East 152nd st. was authorized for sale to the General Electric Co. approximately 1.6 of an acre in size, the land is adjacent to GE’s Ivanhoe plant. Sale price was $22,500. Reappointment of two commis sior members to the fire and police pension fund committee was con firmed. Serving one-year terms will be Frank Follows and Paul Broer.
