Hello again, we’re back with
the second installment of kalei
doscope gazing.
Ohio weather being what it
is don’t you wonder where they
ever got the misnomer “temper
ate’ zone for this stretch of ge
ography?
One of our favorite sports this
time of year, is people peeping
and we’ve noticed that many of
our neighbors are also fond of
this pastime. If it gets any more
popular, some summer evening
each porch will boast spectators
and as observing other specta
tors takes some of the zest out
of it we predict that a sizeable
contingent will silently fold up
its lawn chairs and resort once
more to television.
A remark heard frequently
which makes one wonder is that
made by those in a particularly
benevolent mood who admit
rather generously that they
think people are the most in
teresting subjects in, the world.
Street scenes—All the grand
mothers showing off
grandchildren on the
days,—women sitting in the
window of a wash O’ matic hav
ing the time of her life via tel
ephone as she waited for her
clothes to get clean (wonder
what great-grandmothers would
think of that!).

Seems rather silly for some
people to knock themselves out
trying to cut down the number
When banking, do you also
brave a long line to discover
when you’re one away from the
window that you’re standing be
hind the guy who came for the
company payroll
As if driving isn’t hazardous
enough, some people in corner
homes develop a love for healthy
hedges (about six feet high it
seems) which in addition to
fencing in their property, blocks
off the view. What’s even worse
on corner# are the huge delivery
trucks which makes approach
ing traffic not just difficult to
see but impossible to see.
Could anyone familiar with
the Diary of Anne Frank re
main an isolationist while such
a tremendous struggle surged?
Certainly it brought out more
graphically the helpless plight
of the Jews under Nazi domina
tion than any flowery speech
and makes one ralize his moral
obligation to put a stop to such
outrages.
Have a safe and happy fourth
in this land of opportunity and
freedom.
Award $8,000
For Damages
To Instructor
“We’ll definitely appeal,”
was the contention of Stanley
Webster, attorney for city en
gineer Malcolm Douglas when
a Common Pleas jury awarded
$8,000 damages to Mrs. Beulah
Blevins.
Mrs. Blevins, a dancing
instructor, had filed a $100,000
suit against Douglas for
maliciuos prosecution in re
gards to her arrest in 1957.
Mrs. Blevins had been oper
ating a dancing school at 15355
Euclid ave. without a condi
tional permit. She was given six
ty days to vacate the prem
ises. On the sixty first day a
warrant was issued for her ar
rest because city officials were
not aware that she had com
plied with the notice.
East Cleveland Municipal
Judge Stanton Adams found
her not guilty of violating the
building ordinance and Miss
Blevins filed a suit against
Douglas who had signed the
warrant for her arrest.

he will never forget. He talked
about his new awareness of the

audience spellbound. The point
he made is that the Hungarians
were enjoying a “good life” and
“didn’t think it could happen
there” but it did. He stressed
that Americans should be alert
and realize that what happened
in Hungary could happen here.
“It really teaches you to ap

comment of Carole who was
chosen city auditor at the con

won’t be taking the government

addition to the lesson in govern
