                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 12, 1998

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Mrs. 
Elizabeth Heflin-McCloud, a Royal Oak Township Trustee. Mrs. McCloud 
died in her home on January 6, 1998.
  Born in Talladega, Alabama in 1918 to Oscar and Littie Ywyman, Mrs. 
McCloud later moved to Michigan. Here, through her association with 
many community and civic organizations, Mrs. McCloud made a difference 
in the lives of so many people. She served on the Library Board, 
Oakdale Activity Committee, New Mount Vernon Church, Business and 
Professional Women, AFL-CIO, Community Development Block Grant, 
Township Beautification Committee, and the Democratic Club of Ferndale 
and Royal Oak Township.
  After working 38 years at Chrysler Corporation, Mrs. McCloud decided 
to enter public service, and served as a Royal Oak Township Trustee 
from 1992 to the present. She was a friend of so many people and of so 
many causes.
  I ask my colleagues to join me as we extend our sincere sympathy to 
the friends and relatives of Mrs. McCloud who will always be remembered 
for her outstanding contributions to the world around her.
