ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY IN
MISHAP AT CUB MINSTREL SHOW

While spectators were leaving
the high school auditorium Friday
evening after enjoying the highly
successful Cub Minstrel show,
real life drama was being enacted
back stage during which a local
man escaped possible death by in
ches.
Victim of the accident was Man
.uel Nossaman, East Sixth street,
whose son, Gary, was one of the
Cub Scouts starred in the minstrel.
When it came time for the final
curtain, the back stage crew motto
ed that the curtain-puller was not
on the cat walk. Nossaman vol
unteered to climb the 40-foot lad
der.
AS he reached the top of the lad
der, Nossaman swung up on the
narrow catwalk and felt an excru-

ciating pain. He grabbed the
ropes and managed to pull the cur
tains before he collapsed.
Fortunately, Nossaman sank in
to a chair on the catwalk as he
tainted. If he had fallen off the
catwalk and landed on the stage 40
feet below, serious injuries prob
ably would have resulted.
DR.. Kenneth Carter and William
Eberle noticed lJossaman sink into
the chair and thought some thing
was wrong. They crawled up the
ladder and helped the injured man
down to the stage. Nossaman,
who is a salesman in the M;zener
Hardware store, is confined to his
bed to recuperate from the torn
leg ligaments.

SAFETY GROUP
OFFERS FIVE
TRAFFIC AIDS
More Parking Meters In
Perry Street Recommended
After Survey

Caution blinking-type lights are
to be installed at the intersec-
tions of Third and Harrison
streets and in front of the local
armory, two of the most danger
Gus places in the city, as Police
Chief Jack Shelter has been au-
thorized by city council to make
the purchases.
Shelter appeared before council
Tuesday evening to report rec
concentrations of the Safety Com
mittee's traffic survey.
The blinker lights will be in op-
Grafton "a hours daily. At the
armory, the light will be caution
warning. For the west end light,
caution signs will be blinked for
traffic on Route So and stop
lights for autos in West Third
and North Harrison streets.
Shelter stated the 18 new
parking meter heads, ordered to
alleviate the clogged meter con-
dition, have been shipped and will
be installed upon arrival in the
half-block between Perry street
and the telephone office in Mad
ison.
A five-point program recon-
mended by the Safety Committee
is as follows:
One hour parking in Lincoln
Drive between State and Third
streets.
No parking in Second street in
front of the Honor Roll at Ar
mory Park.
Easing of parking conditions
before Petersen's Garage, Perry
street.
Parking in the alley at the
Elks' Club TO be stopped.
Taxi cab drivers who continue
to speed, fail to stop at stop
streets or lights are to be given
citations. Owner Orland Miller
has been informed and has prom
ised to take prompt action.
The committee offered two sug-
gestions for additional parking
meters within the business dis
trict, and recommended that the
meters be 20 feet apart due to the
longer lengths of new cars.
One recommendation is for the
placing of 26 meters in Perry
street on both sides of Perry
from Madison to jefferson, in front
of Jaslove Fur store, and along
the south side of Perry between
Madison and Monroe. Another
recommendation was for As me-
ters in North Madison street.
Chief Shelter also asked that
an ordinance be approved forbid
ding all trucks from passing
within the city limits, and or
dering trucks to remain in the
right hand lanes only. Solicitor
George Slaughter is to prepare
the ordinance.
Recommendation of the safety
committee were tabled for fur
! ther consideration by the council
