In East Cleveland “30” FOR C.E.B. the number “30” has, since time immemorial, signified the end of a news story. We feel it is fitting to use the term to write a finish to the distinguished career of Clarence E. Bowman, editor of this paper. Generally speaking, most readers of the Leader would not be falniliar with Mr. Bowman, because he stayed pretty much in the background. Neverthe less, the Boss kept an eagle eye on us. As such, this is a better newspaper and this writer is a better newspaperman. We had been in journalism for many years prior to coming to work here but fast found out. what little we knew of t|ie game compared to Mr. Bow man’s knowledge. We are thankful of the many sessions with him at the office, late at night in his favorite restaurant yes, even at his hos pital bedside, when every bit of conversation was another lesson in journalism and related subjects. .. lArk 'frfc'"’ ’•IK .'Ja-' 71.<p></p>COMMUNITY y, Inca IkiiM o nra^V «M/I vMA«nkat*« nF tiro Cnmm i 4 i members of the Committee and that always makes for a good affair.

The SCOOP and Euclid News*Journal Give Advertisers Complete Coverage In Northeast Greater Cleveland Rink, Pool Lost Money Last Year While the weather may be warming up siderably, here is a not-so-hot report on the oper ations of the municipal ice skating rink and swim ming pool last year, just compiled by City Manager Charles A. Carran. 1 tures at the rink for the Editorials Force Liquor Bill Hearing Euclid's Mayor Kenneth J. Sims appeared before the Sen ate Judiciary committee last night with hundreds of letters and coupons urging the legisla tive group to put the home rule liquor bill on the senate floor. Apparently the deluge of pro tests and newspaper editorials throughout the state has forced the committee chairman, Fred L. Hoffman to call the hearing. Prior to the flood of comments (which many observers claim was instigated by this news paper), the Cincinnati chairman had been reluctant to give the bill a chance on the floor. The last time Mayor Sims and other municipal afficials went to Columbus to speak on the bill, they waited for several hours and saw the committee adjourn without hearing them. It has been feared the liquor lobby was too strong and had won its victory to keep the leg islation bottled up in mittee. the com- was not bill was At press time it known whether the voted out of the committee or not.

When the bill was in a house committee, the response to this newspaper's appeal was more than 4,000 coupons sent to Col umbus, according to State Rep. Michael A. Sweeney of Cleve land.

E. “Ted” Bowman ”30" On A Distinguished Career As he had lived, so passed away “Ted” Bow man. Shunning the “flowers,” as he always did. Clarence E. Bowman had requested that in lieu of bouquets, his friends contribute to the Euclid High School scholarship fund. “C. E. B.,” as he was best known to his many readers, editor and publisher of The SCOOP, the Euclid News-Journal, and the East Cleveland Leader, died last Saturday morning at Euclid Glenville Hospital following a long illness. He had devoted his life to the newspaper “game,” starting his first “official” job in the field as a copy boy for the old Cleveland Leader at the age of fifteen. Prior to that, at a much more tender age, he had batted out many a line and “set many a stick of type” for his father, Frank A. Bowman’s Col linwood Citizen. His more than fifty years at his beloved work belied a statement made early in his high school days at Collinwood by his English teached that despite being an avid reader he “would never make a newspaper man!” Dr. Angene Gives C.E.B. Scholarship Details Contributions to the C. E. Bowman Scholar ship fund should be mailed in care of Clifford G. Owens, Principal, Euclid Senior High School, 711 East 222nd st., Euclid, Ohio, according to School Superintendent Lester Angene. “Furthermore,” he said “checks should be made out to the C. E. Bowman Scholarship Fund.” Contributions to the newly-created fund are already coming in and a committee with School Board Member William Tomko as temporary chairman is being formed to administer the grant. Further details on the scholarship plan will be announced at a later date. .^A. ...,.....................4 3m1_ _i» ^a .„<p></p>WEDNESDAY! Raa^U* a«»a T*-.

E. B. wasn't tall of stature nor robust in appearance, but in spirit he was bigger than the wrestler and had the courage, tenacity and fortitude of a frontiers man.” “He tried his utmost,” she said, “to put up a hard front, but those who knew him well were aware that that gruff exterior was a cover-up for a sympathetic, soft-hearted man.” He told those who wrote for him, “Accent the positive! These are family newspapers and we’re not here to dramatize the juvenile delinquents nor the marital difficulties in our communities.” “We’ll devote our space,” he said, “to the scholarship winners, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, and all those other groups who do so much for our community.” With C. E. B. there were no “sacred Cows.” The civic-minded people were far more important in his papers than were those guilty of misde meanors. Following his copy boy stint with the Cleve land Leader, he served six years as a police re porter for the News. 1 In 1919, he and his partner, Russell L. Foulke. entered the publishing field with a neighborhood newspaper. The SCOOP. The Euclid News-Journal and East Cleveland Leader were later added to the Collinwood Publishing Company’s papers. Mr. Bowman’s active crusading for civic im provements in Northeast Cleveland, Euclid, and East Cleveland brought him many citations and awards. Upon the occasion of his fiftieth year as a working newspaperman, City Councils of Cleve land and Euclid and the City Commission of East Cleveland passed formal resolutions applauding the milestone. The 17-member Greater Cleveland Weekly Newspaper Association passed a similar resolution. Of these, he was more proud than of his earthly goods. Clarence E. Bowman served on the Euclid Board of Education for 14 years and was president of that body when the new Euclid Senior High School was built. He also served seven years as a member of the Euclid Recreation Commission. A strong supporter of the “pay-as-you-go” school building program, C. E. B. took a special pride in the fact that 14 of his community’s school were paid for in full. In 1957 ill health necessitated his retirement from the school board but his interest in its activities never waned. Mr. Bowman is survived by his wife Ethel two daughters, Mrs. Donald McCracken and Mrs. Paul Davis three grandchildren, Gordon, Law rence and Charles McCracken his mother. Mrs. Charlotte Bowman and three sisters. Mrs. Betty Murphy, Mrs. Marion Flynn, and Mrs. Lloyd Crane. He was a direct descendant of Elijah Gunn, who came with Moses Cleaveland and remained as a permanent settler. He was a member of Charles T. Raymer Lodge, F. & A. M., the Euclid Exchange Club, and the Printing Pressmen's Union. Masonic services were held Sunday evening. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Robert Bruce Clapp of the Boulevard Presbyterian Church. Funeral arrangements were made by the S. H. Johnston Funeral Home. Interment was Monday at Acacia Park Cemetery. “SAFETY CHECK TO CHECK ACCIDENTS!"
