Nathan's Creek School Destroyed By Fire
Estimate Loss
Over 100000;
Was Not Insured
Fire Broke Out Yesterday
Morning Before School
Opened

Nathan's Creek High School
building, one of the most modern
in the county, was totally destroy
ed by fire of an unknown origin
early yesterday morning, result
ing in an estimated loss of $5l-
10000.
While it could not definitely
be determined, it is believed that
the fire, which originated in one
of the rear rooms, was the result
of short circuit in the electric
wiring. The smoke was first dis
covered by A. B. Hurt, principal
in routine check on all of the
rooms shortly before time for
school to open. Help was sought
in the neighborhood and the West
Jefferson fire truck was brought
into action Immediately, but the
shortage of water made it impos-
sible to curb the blaze, which
spread quickly throughout the
building.
Members of the fire depart
rnent worked with others and
saved much Of the movable equip
ment on the first floor. None on
the basement floor was saved.
School officials estimated the
loss of the building, on which
there was no insurance, and the
equipment to be around $4,000.
School officials said yesterday
that it was too early to announce
any plans, but it was hoped that
some arrangements could be
made to complete the school year
as well as to erect a new build
ing as soon as possible.
School children and teachers
who started to school joyously,
arrived to find their building in
flames ant smoke Many wopt
openly over the loss. Others
stood by and with the true spirit
of builders, declared that what
had been done once could even
tually be done again and avoWed
that they would rebuild the
school.
1t was announced that no az
arrangements would be made to
reopen school until after the
Christmas holidays, however.

the glorious period from the ma
tional uprising of 1941 to the
grandious victory of 1915. He
should call to mind that heroic
period in which the flower Of
our peoples fought and snatched
its weapons from the occupying
armies, fought and bled during
four years, not merely to liber-
ate our land from the enemy,
but also to make possible the
creation of a better and happier
Yugoslavia, our new Democratic
Federal Yugoslavia. Every pa
triot should call to mind those
untold sufferings undergone by
our peoples at the hand of the
invaders and our own quisling
traitors Pavelic, Medic, Rupnik,
Draza Mihailovic and so on, dur
ing this War of Liberation. No
true patriot should ever forget
that traitors overt and covert
are rallying under the cloak of
an alleged democracy and get
ting support from international
reactionaries with the aim at all
costs of preventing the further
economic and political develop
ment of Our country, with the
aim of destroying at all costs
what we have achieved by the
great Liberation Struggle for
the cause of which hundreds of
thousands of the children of the
peoples of Yugoslavia have vol
UNFAIRLY given their lives.
"All this accordingly places an
obligation on every true patri-
OF and every true democrat to

duce the masses of the people

Reaction time" is an un-
known phrase to a surprising
number of Cleveland motorists
who sincerely believe they "can
stop on a dime.''
When a motorist is suddenly
confronted with danger while
driving he must realize that an
interval of time elapses when
he first perceives the danger to
the point when he gets his foot
on the brake pedal. This "reac-
tion time" for the normally alert
driver is "a of a second. A vehi-
Gle travelling 80 miles per hour
will travel 33 feet in that M of
a second before foot pressure is
applied. Then, ''braking" dis
tance" must be taken into con-
sideration. "Braking distance"
is defined as the distance a car
will travel after the brakes have
been applied.
At 30 miles per hour an auto
mobile will travel 491s feet
while the brakes are under ap-
plication. Thus we add reaction
time" to ''braking distance" for
"stopping time" In this case we
have travelled a total of ap-
proximately 721R feet at 30
miles per hour before coming
to full stop.
AS you can well imagine con-
siderable damage can be
wrought in this distance. Cor
respondingly, a car travelling
faster than 80 miles an hour will
travel a greater distance before
stopping. Following this to it's
logical conclusion then, exces-
sive speed is positively out of
place. The myth of stopping on
a dime" must be exploded. No
car is capable of stopping on a
dime or even on a silver dollar
for that matter.
That "dime" is well-worn now
and in fact is non-existent. Mo-
torists must realize this and be-
come acquainted with reaction
time" and "braking distance"
if we are to effectively reduce
the traffic accident toll in
Cleveland.
