face is the result of the outstand
ing traffic safety record tallied by
the city over the sometimes not
so-glorious Fourth of July week

that East Cleveland recorded only
four accidents—and all of. them
minor ones during the long
stretch from Thursday. July 4th,
through Monday, July 8th.
“Congratulations to our citizens

tremendous cooperation in observ

Debras Named
Basketball
Coach At Shaw
Donald Lee Drebus is new head
basketball coach at Shaw High
School.
Since 1956 when he came to East
Cleveland, he has been coaching
junior varsity basketball and foot
ball. His new duties, which begin
with the fall school term, also will
encompass varsity footbalx, as line
coach.
Mr. Drebus succeeds Grant F.
Kibbel, assistant Shaw principal
and former basketball head.
The new coach, who celebrated
his 28th birthday last Tuesday, was
rated one of the best all-around
basketball players in this section
of tile country during his college
years at Ashland, where he re
ceived his Bachelor of Science de
gree in education in 1951.
Today his master’s degree is in
sight. This summer he is complet
ing his graduate work in physical
education at Bowling Green State
University and receives his Master
of Arts degree next month.
Bora in Cleveland and a gradu
ate of Ashland High School, Mr.
Drebus,. who spent one year in
service, was a member of the
Upper Sandusky high school sys
tem during 1954-55.
He and his wife reside at'14069
Glenside rd.
Mr. Kibbel, who requested re
lief from his athletic duties to
devote additional time to adminis
trative matters, is working toward
his doctorate at Wesem' Reserve
University, where he will specialize
in the vocational guidance and
testing fields.
Change in Shaw coaching per
sonnel was announced by Supt O.
J. Kerb at the Monday night s*s-
i
7:30-8:30—Introduction of league
officials presentation of swim
ming trophies drawing for door
prizes.
8:30-9:30—(Feature game) King
and His Court vs. East Cleve
land Merchants.
The trio of baseball games will
be held at Shaw Field around
which new stands have been in
stalled for the comfort of spec
tators. The Aquashow will be held
tn the newly remodeled Shaw Pool
which can now accommodate spec
tators on the spacious sun deck
overlooking the swimming area.
The two softball games will be
played in Shaw Stadium where a
field and backstop have been set
up and which will accommodate a
large crowd with no reserved seats.
This will mark the third appear
ance for the word-famous King
and His Court at Shaw Stadium
and each previous engagement has
attracted a large crowd. Even those
who have seen this amazing four
man team perform are eager to
watch their antics again. The
King, Eddie Feigner, is one of the
most fabulous figures in the sports
world. His unending assortment
of pitches an deliveries are almost
miraculous and his three team
mates are softball stars in .their
own right whose batting and field
ing feats are thrilling to watch.
The East Cleveland Merchants,
who will oppose the talented quar
tet, are one of the best softball
teams in the Cleveland area. They
currently own a 10-1 record in the
Hillcrest League and they boast
several hitters who should be able
to cope with some of the King’s
choice deliveries.
All in all, the entire program
stacks up as a truly fine bargain
bill which all East Clevelanders
and their entire families are urged
to attend. Tickets are now being
sold by every boy who plays en a
tehm sponsored by the ECCLI as
well as the managers, coaches and
league officials. The Amateur Day
program is a community effort to
which every local citizen should
give his support. We hope that
the parents of the boys who play
baseball on the local diamonds will
see fit to purchase tickets as a
token of their appreciation for the
many men who devote so much of
their time toward proper baseball
guidance for their diildren. Let’s
get behind this worthwhile affair—
everyone should benefit with a
minimum of effort and expense.
Estimated expenditures for the
City of East Cleveland during
1958 show an increase of $110,000
over those for 1957, according to
the budget for the coming year,
as presented to the East Cleve
land Commission at last week’s
session.
Total 1958 estimate is $1,375,912,
compared to $1,265,722 for the
present year.
Partially responsible for the ad
ditional sums are two new city
operations, the full-time munici
pal court and the ice skating rink,
whieh will be completed next fall.
Also contributing to the increase
are eight additions to the ranks
sf the fire deparment and eleven
in the police department.

Operating Budget For
City Uppedi $110,000
to be set, the cost of operating
the court alone will be $26,800,
compared to $12,700 for the old
part-time police court. Election of
the muny court judge takes place
at the November balloting.
The city estimates that during
1958 the new rink will bite ?ff some
$10,600 in operational costs. Dur
ing the few months in 1957 when
It will be in operation jhe skating
project will run about $3,900.
An added burden, necessitating
added personnel, will be carried
by the fire department hereafter
during the winter months, when
its work week is reduced from 72
to 56 hours. For the police depart
ment a similar reduction in work
ing hours will be applicable on a
year-round basis, when it’s time is

the Log Cabin and Auto Show at

drawn from the barrel at night
fall, the city will linger long and
love it.
Behind the scene the many
membered picnic committee, with
General Chairman Jack W’ise at
the controls, has gathered up all
loose ends and announces through
Bob Henderson and his prize com
mittee that added gifts from local
merchants this past week have
innereased the total to 20.
These are:
Car painting job, worth $75,
from Euclid-Noble Auto Body Co.
Landscape painting, on-the-spot
composition by Al Dery, framed
by Nelson Kubitz.

season.

Brand-new highlight of the pro
ceedings this time will be par

Artists and Craftsmen group, who

August will find the hustle and
bustle of the busy Euclid-Superior
intersection augmented with pav
ing equipment and bulldozers.
Beginning August 1st. the
southwest corner of the intersec
tion will be widened to accommo
date an additional traffic lane,
thus completely eliminating the
awkward jog motorists now use
iu aescending and ascending Su
perior hill.
This city improvement was
clinched on Tuesday evening, July
2na, when members of the East
Cleveland Commission at their
regular bi-monthly meeting in
City Hall, awarded the bid for the
street expansion to Dunlop and
Johnston for the sum of $10,900.
Besides the new roadway im
provement, a twelve-foot sidewalk
is to be installed.
Also' involved in the project is
removal of a portion of the apart
ment building, situated on the
same southwest corner and under
taken at the owner’s expense.
Tearing down operations on the
apartment began early last month.
City officials timed the entire
Superior expansion program so
that its completion would precede
the opening of the fall school
term. Children cross the inter
section daily on their way to and
from Superior school.
By finishing the task early in
September, down to removal of
the last barricade, all hazards to
pupils will be eliminated.
In other action last week the
commission passed an ordinance
authorizing sale of the city-owned
property on the edge of the new
skating rink site on Shaw ave. to
18 homeowners whose back yards
on Shawview ave. abut the recre
ational development.
Parcels are each lot-wide and
21 feet deep. Bid pries per parcel
was $15.
