Insurance Co.
Buys Euclid
Avenue Land
A new office building will
adorn Euclid ave., in the near
future. The site is presently a
vacant lot between the Midas
Muffler shop and the Consum
er Cigarette & Cigar Service
Co., in the 15700 block.
The property was purchased
Tuesday by the United Insur
ance Company of America
from Meyer and Henry Bruder,
25,000 square feet of Euclid
ave., frontage was sold to the
insurance company for approx
imately $45,000. The T. W.
Grogan realtors represented
the company whose regional
headquarters are in Chicago.
According to United’s state
manager, S. Rafkin the pro
posed insurance building will
house between 65 and 70 em
loyees with facilities for their
cars. It will be the Ohio state
headquarters. Their
Ohio headquarters are
East 79th st.
The actual design
building, as to architectural
style and number of floors, is
still on the drawing boards.
The Cleveland Electric Illu
minating company owns a
large portion of the land to
the rear of the same property
which was once owned by Goff
Kirby. The Bruder brothers
still retain approximately an
acre and half of land in the
middle section of the property.
Another recent East Cleve
land real estate transaction
was the sale of the Nelacrest
Ravine Manor Inc., to the
Crestview Realty Co., for
$102,000 Dec. 17th. No chang
es for the year-old property
are anticipated by the new
owners.
Pool Filling Up
At last the repair work on
the Korb pool has been com
pleted and it is now in the
process of being filled. After
the work was finished, the pool
received a scrubbing and once
again began the long job of
filling it up. The filling proc
ess was begun yesterday and
was to continue only during
the day so that it may take
longer than the ordinary
days to fill it up.

Auto License
To Earn Fine
Although he didn’t have a
driver’s license, James Hirsch
of 515 East 123rd st., took a
job as a truck driver in order
to raise money to pay a munici
pal court fine of $150 and costs
for assault and battery.
Result He was fined $100
and costs for careless driving
and $25 and costs for driving
without a license.
Hirsch was arrested Saturday
after police spotted the truck
he was driving going down the
street without license plates.
Hirsch claims he was going
back to his place of business
after he had made the same
discovery. He stated that he
became frightened when he
saw the police in pursuit and
he had a minor accident in his
attempt to escape from them.
He was picked up an he was
driving down East 118th st.
Judge Stanton Addams said
that Hirsch paid the $25 fine,

Traffic Rules
Defines Terms
When is a car parked? What
is a thoroughfare? What is a
highway? These are some of
the things the city is attempt
ing to define in its new ordi
nance.
The new traffic ordinance (or
rather clarification of the old
ordinance) has been two years
in the making. The administra
tors hope to have it ready for
the Commission by the first of
April, according to City Mana
ger Charles Carran.
The present ordinance has
sections which are in conflict
with one another. There are
also finer points which are
hazy in their meaning. The
original law has been amend
ed so many times that it is
impractical. The ‘new” law is
a streamlining of the old. It
will assure that the city's
traffic laws are in agreement
with the state’s. The ordi
nance will parallel Cleveland's
ordinance, Mr. Carran said.
Drivers need not fear that
they will be ensnared by a
“sneak” section added to the
new law. Driving rules will re
main the same. Anything that
is changed will receive plenty
of advance publicity. If any new
“no parking areas” or tow away
zones are included they will be
clearly marked.
One change that has al
ready been made is the grant
ing of authority to the city
to tow away cars and charge
for their impounding. At
present cars are only towed
when they obstruct street
maintenance or something
else vital to the city and
there has been no charges
leveled.

An old

another Becky.
A handy man with even the
humblest of tools, Mr. Woost
began the job of renovating the
old wheel in time for the holi
days. He had to fashion two
new spokes to replace those
that were missing in the wheel.
He made a new spindle by hand
and then got down to the busi
ness of beautifying the finished
product.
As the self-made carpenter
sanded away on the base he un
covered inscirebd within a
heart, “To Becky 12-25-67.” At
that moment the surprise gift
became even more special be
cause Nancy Woost’s nickname
is Becky. It was taken from her
maiden name which was
Becker.
The history of the spinning
wheel is a matter for conjec
ture and the Woosts look at it
every now and then and won
der aloud who and where and
when. Spinning wheels were no
longer in vogue during the mid
19th century so there is a pos
sibility that the wheel may go
back another century or so.
The Woosts, who live at 1660
East 133rd st., have been col

off and incorporating them into
their colonial style living quart

the veteran of City Commission
ers having served six years. This
is his second term as president.
He has served as vice presi
dent twice also, in ’55 and in
’59.
Although the spinning wheel
was a highlight of their holi
days it was not the only tie
they have with the past. Mrs.
Woost delved through several
books and pieced together the
central European ideas for cele
brating the greatest feast of
of the Christian year. And the
Woosts had what might be
called an old fashion Christmas.
In this day and age when
aluminum trees have made even
the natural spruce trees
trimmed in a variety of lights
and store bought decor seem
out-moded, the Woost’s cut
their own tree and trimmed it
in ornaments which they made
themselves. The only commer
cial touch was their yellow
light bulbs. It took many hours
of patience and good* humor
for them to make their cotton
snow ladies and wind metal
scraps around pencils for the
tinsel effect.

Euclid Job
The Board of County Com
missioners agreed Monday to
share the expense of repaving
Euclid ave., from Beersford east
to Ivanhoe. The city is waiting
to hear from the state about
its Euclid ave. intentions.
The preliminary estimate of
the cost has been set at
$155,000. The city has asked the
state to pay half of that figure
and the county to share equally
with the city the amount re
maining.
The county therefore has
agreed to contribute $25,000 to
the resurfacing job. The state
would be in charge of the proj
ect. Both East Cleveland and
the county would give their
money to the state for the work.
The entire pavement would be
covered with asphalt and some
curbing would be repaired.

Priscilla Named Y Drive
Partner-Membership Head
“I am proud to be a resident of East Cleveland,
and I am proud of the YM and YWCA. I want East
Cleveland to be as proud of the Y and itself as I am.”
With that statement Thomas
W. Priscilla last week an-)
nounced his acceptance of the
chairmanship of the YMCA
YWCA partner-membership en
rollment.
An extra effort will have toj
be made this year, he pointed)
out, because the 1959 drive fell,
short of its goal by about,
$2,000. As a result, some of
the activities of the YM and
YW were curtailed by lack of
funds.
“I *.m sure ve can get the
job done this year if only we
can get our citizens to under
stand t:,e need for the YM and
the YW, and the tremendous
amount of good they do for the
city and our youth.
“The campaign this year will
start Feb. 7th, and we hope to
have it 99 per cent completed
by nightfall the same day,”
Mr. Priscilla said.
More than 250 workers have
already ben signed up, and the
“task force” should be over
300 strong by kick-off day.
“East Cleveland is known as
a city that generously sup
ports its fine schools and
churches,” Mr. Priscilla stated.
‘We have here a suburb that
offers convenient public trans
