USE YOUR HEAD

If you are one of the thou
sands Of new war workers in
industry, please use your head
with respect to the stresses and
strains to which you subject
your body, until you're broken
in and conditioned to the new
routine. Even then, if you are
we'll into, or past middle age,
don't think you can "take it"
like you did when you were 20.
The Greater Cleveland Safety
Council reminds us that a man
with a pulled muscle, sustained
while lifting or pulling a load
on which he should have wait
ed for help, can't be of much
assistance to the war effort.
Let's all remember it is smart
-patriotic-and efficient to
work safely every day.

A New Years
Greeting

Tonight we are biding good
bye and with the strike of the
midnight hour we shall greet
the year 1913.
AS we leaf through the pages
of the past year, we recall to
memory numerous incidents
which frightened our daily
routine. We also find that the
trend in our lives has been
greatly changed within this
past year. Just as it has
brought joy into our lives, sc
has it brought suffering and
sorrow. What the New Year
will usher in, is still unknown,
but with the combined efforts
of each and every one of us, we
can make this a much better
world in which to exist.
May 1913 bring to your home
all the material happiness pos.
sible, to your heart the luxury
of perfect contentment and tc
your mind freedom from
worry.
Our sincere wish is that be.
fore another New Year shall be
celebrated-we shall en- oy
World Peace-a peace which
shall be lasting and shall bring
to all the nations democracy
and equal rights to existence.

Slovenian Cop ~
Bowling Porfy

Last Saturday we had our
Xmas party at Poles Tavern.
The chicken was really delici-
Gus. The dinner, was complete
except for the ~fingerbowl. Mr..
Svetek asked for one, which Of
course he got, but it consisted
of a tray, large dish pan, scrub
bling brush, and a bar Of soap.
What will they think Of next?
Last years bowler, Alice Plev-
mix, enjoyed the Xmas Party
with us Mr.. Strukel, really
cutting the rug, never sat a
dance out -. Missed Anton and
John Novak -. Alma Strazisar
trying to find out who bought
her the gift. She would like
him to play the game with her.
Anyone anxious to know what
game she received, come down
to the bowling alleys Wednes-
day night =. Enthusiastically,
Rudy Mesojedec opened his
package, but to his surprise, he
found a little doll 90. Noticed
Mr.. and Mrs. Christy, MIR. and
Mrs. Bizely and Mr.. and Mrs.
Klemencic sitting at the corner
table. There was much laughter
at the table -. Receiving bowl
ing balls for Christmas were
Joe ~Strazisar, Jr., and Otto ST.
monte. - Wondering why Mr.
Wolf was so quiet -. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Somrak sitting in the
corner all night -. We are all
wondering who was Santa Claus,
how about giving us a break
and telling us?... Sue Grosser
passing out chocolate covered
cherries -. We like to thank
everyone for their swell cooper
alton and Mrs. Pole for the
good chicken dinners. Hope to
see you all next week at the
Slovene Workmen's Home. We'd
like to wish everyone a Happy
New Year.

Pedestrians Must Be
Careful.

So far this year there have
been 115 persons killed in Cleve-
land traffic. Of the lis killed
SO have been pedestrians and
A Tor $500 of these were peo-
pie over the age of 55.
Most elderly people have new
err owned or driven an automo-
bile so therefore cannot appre-
ciate the problems drivers are
confronted with. For instance
just because pedestrians can see
automobiles at night they take
it for granted that they are also
seen by the motorists. Most ev-
eryone knows that this assump-
ton is a false one, especially at
night as elderly people are given
to wearing dark clothing which
blends with the darkness MAX
ing them almost invisible.
Motorists are asked to be ex-
ira vigilant where they see ell
derby persons crossing or at
tempting to cross streets and to
give them every consideration
that their age certainly de-
serves.
Something more, besides pro-
per consideration on the motor
lists part is needed if the traffic
death rate of elderly persons is
to be lowered. So, the Police De-
partment appeals to all persons
where possible to advise and in
struct their parents, grandpar-
ents and any other person of
advanced years, in the proper
way in which to cross streets,
and to wear or carry something
at night.

TAKES TWO

Any kind of a commercial
vehicle is a curiosity to small
children when it is parked in
their yard, at the curb, on the
street or in the alley back of
the house. The temptation to
climb into it, over it or under
it, is all but overwhelming to
juveniles. The Greater Cleve-
land Safety Council suggests
you make sure when ready to
leave your parking place, that
the children are not under your
car or playing around the
wheels. It only takes a couple
of seconds to look-and thus
prevent a serious accident.

Quoted regularly by the Citi-
zens' Bureau in libraries,

time enrolment is close to
1000.
Special classes for, night

Vomp Bits
6231 st. Clair Avenue
Henderson SSH 5S12
By Vampire

Hello, everybody, we're here
to give you some vamp bits on
the dance at .Slovene Work.
mems Home on Waterloo Rd.
on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th.
The strains of music that fill
ed the hall and to which every
body was dancing were those Of
Vadnal's Orchestra.
AS I looked around the hall,
l saw many familiar faces and
a few new ones. Eddy Gorce,
Tony, and Johnny Bolden came
in rather late but this did not
stop them from having a good
time. Eddy was dancing cheek
to cheek with Ruth Ogrinc,
wonder if this could be a new
romance? I will have to keep
my eye on them. Richard Skuf-
ca dancing almost all evening
with Julie Godec, and just be-
fore he had to leave he had the
last dance with her. Is there
something in the air that l
should know about? Frances
Maurich dancing with practical
ly all the boys. I don't believe
she was sitting a moment,
didn't dance with you, Frances,
but next time I'll be sure to- get
a few polkas in.
Frank Kosic letting his hair
grow, for he had a C. I. hair
cut. It looks a lot better now
that it is growing. I hope you
will recognize me the next time
I am at a dance. Snoopy was
dancing with a very handsome
boy, but she didn't stay very
long. Why not, Snoopy?
Harry, you know who I mean,
was dancing all night with the
same girl. l know you wanted
your name in the paper SO
had to think of something to
link your name with.
Al Hribar dropped in with
his boy friend, it looks like col
lege agrees with him. Ernie
was dancing with drummer boy
Johnny Tirabasso's girl friend
Did he make out OK?
By the way, what happened
to the sax players face, it was
all painted red and don't say q
cat scratched you.
George Kranjcic q think that
is how you spell your last name)
was having a swell time. AT
least, it looked like it.
Wonder why Frank Suller
didn't drop in to the dance.
don't think the dance at 65th
occupies you all the time, or
does it? A notice to Snoopy:
will you please tell me how you
know of the dances ahead of
time? Tell me the next time
you see me
This question bothers me a
lot. I wish someone would please
give me the right answer. Are
bartenders allowed to sell in
toxicating liquors to minors?
I guess this finishes my col
umn for this week, hope I'll be
seeing you all on New Years
Eve and New Years Day.

Year-Around Operation
OF High Schools Urged

WASHINGTON Year-around
operation of Americas 1854 high
schools eliminating summer va
cations-in plan for full mobll-
ization of education behind the
war effort was urged this week
by the U. S. office of educatlon,s
wartime commission. Among
the courses proposed for the sum
mer was "Aviation Education"
A wide range of activity was
recommended for "all types" OF
schools, meaning that thousands
of elementary schools might also
remain open during the summer
along with high schools-not for
instruction of pupils but to render
special community services.
'To Americas schools" the
commission said, this summer
comes not as a time for vacation
but as an opportunity for point
inc up their services toward GER
tain basic detectives highlighted
by the war needs OF the armed
forces and of war production.
every school system should
consider how its personnel, plant
and equipment may be used dur
ing the coming summer to contrl-
butte to war services and to pro-
vide war service training courses.
Attendance at the summer
schols would not be compulsory
for the nations 7,334,OOO high
: school students, the U. S. office
of education said, but any stu
dent wishing to attend probably
| Would find an opportunity for
| improving his value in the war
effort.
The commission, a war time
advisory body comprised of repre-
sentatives from 80 national edu-
cation groups and headed by j.
w. Studebaker, U. S. commission
er of education, asked that leach
school system, whether or not 1t
has been operating summer
school in the past, should study
the possibilities of offering day
and evening summer training
courses" for students at high
school and adult levels.
The summer courses recon-
mended are those for which a
definite demand is being made
by officials directing the various
phases of the war effort. The
commission listed six phases of
education for which strong de-
mand already was evident, as
follows:
l. Aviation education. Under
this head courses developed by
/ the u. S. office of education with
other government authorities will
! be available. (This was expected
to cover pre-pilot study
2. Courses in mathematics,
science, English and social stud
les adapted to the specific needs
of the armed forces and war pro-
duction.
3. Courses designed to train
girls and women in business,
trade and clerical occupations as
replacements for those drawn in
to the armed forces or war pro-
duction.
4. Courses in home nursing, nu-
triton, first aid and other fields
definitely related to civilian de-
tense and other war needs.
5. Intensive courses for promo
ton of physical fitness of those
likely to enter the military SER
vices or war production within
the next three years.
6. Training through cooperation
with the office of civil defense
for air raid wardens, auxiliary
fire and police officers and such
other personnel as may be need
ed.
