Why is everyone getting so
concerned all of a sudden over
traffic accidents? Haven't there
always been traffic accidents?
Yes, but never like now. Let's
look at the arithmetic. In 1945,
the National Safety Council
says, there were 2S,5OO deaths
from accidents compared with
24,30O in 1914. Those "thou-
sands,' by the way, stand for
people-people like you and me
the Hundreds" do too. "a, 800
killed in 1914. 28,5O0 in 1945.
That's 4,2OO more-a whale of
an increase. Do you wonder we
say, "Slow down, keep alert,
take care"? Furthermore it is
estimated that more than a mil.
lion people were injured in traf'
fic accidents last year. Do you
wonder that we are so alarmed?
Do you wonder that the Nation
al Safety Council repeatedly
begs you to "slow down, keeE
alert, take care'? We must all
do everything we can to stoE
this needless toll of injury anc
loo%h %. q .It 5sf y,

Telenews Theatre

"PROBLEM DRINKERS
March of Times dramatic film
study of the Lost Week End
ers" is featured on the new pro-
gram at the Telenews this week.
This is the story of what is be-
ing done today to help those to
whom drinking has become such
an addiction that they are stead
lily losing their places in life.
"Problem Drinkers" is clear
in it's treatment to social drink
ing and the problems of drink
ing. March of Time states that
prohibition is not necessary but
that careful attention must be
paid to overcoming the disad-
vantages of unrestricted drink
ing.
On-the-spot films picture the
terrifying fire that roared
through Chicago's 22-story La
Sale Hotel. Newsree1 camera
men filmed scenes of the actual
blaze as the first six floors are
gutted by flames and guests are
trapped on upper floors by bill
lowing smoke.
Latest films from Warsaw,
the wrecked shell of a city that
once sheltered over a million
people. Traffic rumbles through
famine-haunted streets as Pol
ish workmen begin to clear de-
bris from this capital where
ninety percent of all houses
were destroyed.
Scenes of elections in France
and Italy, graduation day at
West Point and Annapolis, the
Automobile Jubilee parade held
in Detroit and many other
world news events and the lat
est sports round out the pro-
gram.

permission to build or operate
establishments not in conform
ity with present zoning regula-
tions. Any objection on the part
of the neighbors or council to-
such proposed establishments,
is transmitted to Councilman E.
Kovacic, who with the aid of
others, appears before the
Board of Appeals, to voice their
stand. This is part of the coun-
ellis efforts in attempting to
protect the neighborhood.
Where and when necessary,
funds from the treasury have
been advanced to groups to help
defray legal expense for court
action, to fight cases granted
by the Board of Appeals or
Courts, which the council feels
will be detrimental to the health
and welfare of the neighbor-
hood.
Manv of YOU will recall the
East Ohio Gas fire. The council
thru the leadership of Council
man Kovacic and Mr.. A. j.
Grdina, Sr. have been actively in
terested in the rebuilding of this
area. Many homes are partially
completed. The councils activ-
ity here will not rest until the
entire area is rebuilt, into a mod
ell community and set an example
for others in the City, State and
Country to follow. The rebuild
ing of this area has consumated
many hours Of labor and effort
on the part of the gentlemen
mentioned. The final results will
speak for themselves.
It is expected that the new
Health Center to be built by the
City of Cleveland on the west
side of E. 55th St. between St.
', Clair and Superior Ave. will be-
come the center of the councils
activities in the future.
In collaboration with the
Glenville and Hough Area
Councils, a sesquicentennial
event will be held on Sunday,
July 18th at the Gordon Park
Shell, with local talent from the
various areas appearing. Closer
unity between these councils
should be the result of such
/ activity.
In conclusion, we wish to
state that the Norwood Com
munity Councils aims will be a
continuation of it's interest in ;
| First - Planning
Second - Zoning
Third - Being on the alert
against the lowerimg Of present
coming regulations.

The Welfare Federation of
Cleveland consists of members
from the various neighborhood
councils in the City of Cleve-
land. Representatives from the
Norwood Community Council
are; J. F. Fifolt, Anton Grdina,
Sr., and Councilman E. Kovacic.
The Federation holds lunch
con meetings once a month at
the Y. M. G. A. At the last meet
ing the Norwood Community
Council was requested to pre-
sent a report on some Of their
activities. We thought the read
ers might be interested also, and
are listing the report below
The Norwood Community
Council was organized some five
90 years ago. After a brief
squirt, activity somewhat Jagged.
About two (2) years ago, under
the leadership of Mr.. F. Suha-
dolnik, Librarian of the Inter-
cultural Library, interest in the
council was revived. Unfortu-
nately Mr.. Suhadolnik had to
tender his resignation the first
of this year, due to leaving the
City Of Cleveland.
A reorganization meeting of
the council was held, at which
time J. F. Fifolt was elected as
President, Miss Josephine
Prince as Secretary, Messrs. A.
J. Grdina, Sr., Councilman E..
Kovacic and Frank Cesnik as
Vice Presidents and J. Lokar
as Treasurer. A membership
campaign was started with the
result that the present roster
of the council consists of ap-
proximately $50 dues paying
members together with repre-
sentatives from various clubs
and lodges, whose membership
consists of approximately 10,-
600 individuals. The council
meets rgularly at the Slovene
National Home, on the last
Thursday of the month. The
treasury Of the council is main
tanned by contributions from
members of Shopper year, plus
extra donations as the need
arises.
Norwood Community Coun-
cil's prime and most vital inter-
est is it's neighborhood, embrac-
ing the territory from the east
side of E. 55th St. to the west
side of E. 10th St., from the
Lake to Dibble Ave.
The executive committee and
members believe that protection
of the neighborhood as regards
proper zoning, is most import
ant. They feel that strict ad-
herence to zoning regulations,
upgrading of present zoaing re-
strictions, tends to build up the
neighborhood. They firmly be-
lieve that improper zoning, re-
Taxation and lowering of zoning
restrictions, constitute the first
step towards the creation of a
blighted area, bringing along it's
many evils.
With the above goal in mind
and working towards this end
the council has been spending
the greater part of it's efforts
working with the City Planning
Commission, under the able di-
rection of Mr.. John Howard, as
sisted greatly by the untiring
efforts of Councilman E. Kova-
cic, 23rd Ward.
A restudy of the entire area
was made by the City Planning
Commission covering rezoning.
The proposed plan is being stud
led by the council and will short
ly be passed along to the City
Council of Cleveland for hear
ings, etc. We believe this is one

Rather late, but that was due to
the enthusiasm inspired from
our successful initial event. At
this session we had to table some
of our business for our next
meeting as our minds were pri-
marily centered on past achieve
ments and future progress of
our club-rooms. -: e. ..
At this time we feel very
grateful to our comrade Joseph
]. Mohar for his ideal suggestion
of having the kitchen built next
to the bar, instead of having it
in the southeast corner where
it was formerly located. This
move will save our ladies many
steps. The former kitchen will
be converted into an office and
also if needed, for checking.
We are also grateful to John
L. Mihelich and his tireless
building committee, who in
spite of the many obstacles
which confronted them, carried
on. The committee consisted of
the following members: Joseph
Gornick, Joseph Ambrozic, Jo-
seph Mihelich, Frank Zakrajsek,
Robert Zakrajsek, August Prin-
cic, Joe Legat, Tom Legat, A.
Krampel, Alex Diksa, John Bu-
kovnik, Larry Pegnard, Anton

Samec, James Rescic, Clarence
Pintar, and many others includ-
ing Rudy Gregorich who always
has his eye on the ball.
Recently, while an EXC. I.

remarked to Rudy, these club
rooms are real nifty and I would
like to be a member" Quick as
a flash our adjutant gave him
an application blank and Dick
Bowse became a very active
member. / = =" - = -, -.
We are doubly grateful to our
Ladies of the Auxiliary, we
certainly could not do without
them. Their knack of serving
delicious food is known through
out the State and beyond. AS
they are extremely modest, this
writer is apt to get in dutch,
nevertheless, he will take a
chance (as did Columbus) and
reveal their names, so here goes:
