The W ashinqton Merry Go Round

GRAND CANYON, Ariz.-Per- haps shouldn't admit it, but in all my wanderings about the USA I have never been to the Grand Can yon. and it finally took the French Gratitude Train to get me there.
 The Santa Fe RR invited the French Merci Train visitors to be its guests at the Grand Canyon for a day, and since they have been trav- cling all hours of the day and night and needed rest, urged them to take the day off and see Americas greatest scenic sight. My advice was selfish, because I wanted the excuse to go, too.
 There are no inside stories to be written about the Grand Canyon, so I am the wrong person to tly to describe it. It lies stark and open in its azure magnificence, and you don't need one who is supposed

PatroIman Bode
Concludes Course
In Traffic Safety

Receiving the honor of attend
ing the Traffic Institute at North
western University is meaning
hours of hard work for Patrolman
Harold r. Bode of the East Cleve-
land Police Department.
Forty-five officers from 19
states, Hawaii and Canada are in
attendance at the school which
concludes this Friday. The men
represent 81 municipal police de-
partments, five state highway
patrols and the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police. When this class is
graduated 1881 police officers will
have attended the course which
stresses the policeman's part in
preventing accidents and control
ling traffic. The course also deals
with such related subjects as traf-
fic safety education and the use
of engineering techniques to re-
lieve congestion and solve parking
problems.
Upon his return Patrolman Bode
next week will instruct other Off
GERS of the East Cleveland Police
Department in the courses which
he has had at the Traffic Institute.

Sh! Slip Those
Ties To The Y

Hey, mister, got any neckties
you don't want-maybe some of
those awful gift ideas, or maybe a
few you even selected yourself,
believe it or not! Well, here is a
way to clear off the rack and make
room for the new ties that always
come with Christmas.
The East Cleveland Kiwanis club
is collecting ties. Leave yours at
the Y House, 1919 Lee rd. Then, in
cooperation with Miss Genevieve
Quinn. City Welfare Director, the
ties will be distributed to the Coun-
ty Relief Bureau, Division Of Aid
to the Aged, Mary Crest school,
and the Rehabilitation Center.
Some will go overseas-all to bring
Christmas cheer to someone else.
To date 400 ties in every imag-
Unable color and color combination,
have been received. 1t is hoped
many more will be added to the
boxes.

No Door To Door
Solicitation BY
Salvation Army

No door-to-door solicitation for
funds is being made in Greater
Cleveland by the Salvation Army,
officials of the organization warn
ed yesterday, adding that un-
authorized persons had represented
themselves as members Of the army
in seeking donations.
Maj. Paul Kaiser, divisional
secretary in charge of public re-
lations, said persons seeking funds
should be asked to produce creden-
tials if they assert they are from
the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is a men,
Der Of the Welfare Federation of
Cleveland and makes no such
solicitation. All Salvation Army
members carry Identification cards.
With the approaching Christ
mas season, increasing reports of
such misrepresentation have been
received, Maj. Kaiser said. He
asked that anyone having ques-
tions about donations to the Sal
vation Army, call him at Cherry
6933.

City's Future
Is Dependent
On PLANNING

East Cleveland tomorrow-what
will it be?"
This is one Of the important
questions confronting East Cleye-
landers, according to the discus
sion which marked the November
meeting of the East Cleveland
Community Council. From what
ever viewpoint the question was
presented, it was evident that there
is in the minds of Council but one
goal-a continued good place in
which TO live.
The sum and substance narrow
ed down to the responsibility of
the residents for continued eff
cient government, good schools and
libraries, attractive living accom-
modations and adequate transpor-
tation.
The program, directed by Arthur
Townhill, chairman of the Councils
City Planning committee, opened
with three historical sketches in
which John Walworth gave the
high points in the city's 148 years
to date; DR.. William H. Harrison
told of the growth Of the churches
and Mrs. Frank Baldau told Of the
educational progress.
An interesting deduction was
made by Mr.. Walworth. He held
that despite the changes which had
come about since the community
was founded, the people themselves
have not changed. He said they
are just as community minded,
just as neighborly and just as
ready to cooperate for the COM
mon good, as ever. He pointed to
the meeting at hand, as an ex-
ample.
Proctor Noyes, director of Re-
gional Planning Commission COM
mended the city on its zoning pro-
gram and held that continued
zoning guidence is the answer to
this city's future.
The coming of rapid transit, he
said, will have a tremendous i'm
pact on the community. Statistics
quoted indicate an estimated $4,000
passengers are expected to use the
Windermere rapid transit station
daily. This, he added, does not in
clude passengers who will come to
the station in their own automo-
biles-only those who are to be
transferred from feeder lines to
be added to those now operating
east of that point. The result will
be complete change in that area.
At this point City Manager
Chas. A. Carran was asked what
provision the city is making TO
meet this. probable change. He
answered that the city's zoning
would guide all developments aside

The increase shows up chiefly
in the personal tangible return.

After having been discharged
from the WAC and spending a
year at home, Mary Jane Sutton,
14708 Dover ave., went to England
where she is now working with
the American Embassy, in Lon
don.
The following is an excerpt from
her recent letter home, describing
the Armistice Day celebration in
London last week.
"Here in England, rather than
celebrating Armistice Day on the
18th they have Remembrance Day
on the Sunday before the 18th.
The main ceremony is the Kings
placing a wreath Of poppies on
the Cenotaph-a memorial to the
glorious dead of both wars -
after a 2-minute silence at II
o'clock. More or less at the last
minute l decided to go, SO con-
sequently got late start.
The Cenotaph is in the middle
of a big wide street which had
been blocked off for the cere-
monies, and was crowded with
people hurrying down it. 1t was
about three blocks from the CenO-
taph when the cannon went off
for the silence. The sudden quiet
was surprising - the fountains
about two blocks behind us could
be heard clearly.
"a suggested thought and prayer
for The silence had been printed
in the paper I'm remembrance of
those who during the two wars
made the great sacrifice, o God,
make us better men and women,
and give peace in our time 1t
was such a beautiful day, the
silence so impressive, and the
prayer so appropriate and beauti-
full that / just stood there with
tears rolling down my cheeks. After
the silence, l went on, the crowd
getting thicker and thicker, until
l couldn't go any further. I was
surprised to see lots of people
standing with their backs to the
Cenotaph, holding mirrors up to
see a bit more than they could
have otherwise.
"Detachments of all the Services,
including women and ex-service
personnel, Merchant, Navy and
fleets, paraded to the Ceno-
taph, then formed a hollow square
around it. After the service, they
off, then finally we got
chance to go see the Cenotaph,
and l took several pictures.
l meandered down to West
and took some pictures of
Big Ben, then over to the Abbey,
and took a picture of Lincoln's
statue across the street.
All along the walks on the
grounds of the Abbey were small
plots staked out for all the various
detachments, and people buy small
crosses about six inches
high with a poppy in the center
to place in the various plots. Some
of the crosses had names on them.
l walked through there, then into
the Abbey to see the tomb of the

He also said the new books added
to fill in for the 76 taken off
