No Smoking In
Hospital During
Visiting Hours

The initial move by Chief Will
liam H. Ferrie, head of the Cleve-
land fire prevention bureau to con-
troll, if not halt, smoking in hos
pitals is receiving the support of
Fred Steffens, chief of East Cleve-
land Fire Department and R. G..
Bodwell, superintendent of Huron
Road Hospital, the city's one hos
pital. The two conferred on the
subject Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Bodwell announces that
signs would be printed and posted
as soon as possible to inform Wis
itors of the smoking ban during
visitors hours. He also pledged the
assistance of the entire staff in
cooperating with the new regu-
lations.
Also lending assistance to the
safety proposal is Jay w. Col
Inns, chairman of the hospital fire
prevention committee Of the Cleve-
land Hospital Council.
"The Cleveland hospitals are
glad to cooperate" said Collins.
"Our primary interest is the health
Of our patients. The regulation
that no smoking is permitted in
patients rooms while visitors are
present is felt to contribute to the
patients we'll being" And he add
ed "There is really no need for
visitors to smoke during the short
time they are in the hospital"
Chief Ferrie based his action on
the growing number of complaints
he is receiving about careless
smoking by doctors, nurses, en-
ployees, patients and visitors in
danger areas of hospitals.
Ferrie warns that the prevention
bureau would invoke Ohio laws to
set up no-smoking regulations if
the hospitals failed to act.

Les Vought Tells East CIeveIander
All About The Citys Rifle Range

today. During the war the police
and the clubs used the range along
with approximately one thousand
guards from war plants on the
east side of Cleveland, and about
two hundred boot Coast Guards
who used it once every two weeks.
With the exception of the Coast
Guards from the Terrace-Lee Re-
ceiving Station all paid a fee for
using the range.
"At present the East Cleveland
Police Pistol Range accommodates
the following evening Clubs. East
Cleveland Rifle and Revolver Club
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays,
Fridays), the East Cleveland Rod
and Gun Club (Wednesdays), the
Nimrod Club (Saturdays), and the
River Road Rifle and Revolver
Club (Sundaysl Some of them have
considerable activity such as the
Tuesday night fellows who have a
Junior Rifle training membership
for young boys, which I think is a
very fine idea. The Wednesday
night boys tell me they are looking
for some good rifle shooters for
their team. All the clubs have
range instructors and officers.
"All things considering, l find
the East Cleveland Range is one
of the finest ranges of it's type
anywhere n the country. If any
one is interested in membership in
any one Of the above mentioned
clubs, he is welcome to visit the
range where he will be gladly fur
nished any information regarding
membership, cost etc."

Book Teenagers
On Two Charges

Two teenage boys are booked
at police court for damage to city
property and with reckless driv-
ing following an escapade in which
an unexpected witness was an East
Cleveland police officer.
As Patrolman Milton Fenrich
was cruising on Euclid ave. near
Holyoke ave. the evening of No
vember Goth, he noticed the youths
fighting a man. He pulled the
cruiser into Holyoke ave. and step
ped ont to investigate when the
boys made a dash for a coupe which
they had parked in the rear of the
Bi-Rite Market.
Their victim, Irwin Sears, A., of
1922 Miles ave-, started in pursuit
to get the license number on the
coupe and as he ran toward the
driveway, the boy at the wheel
attempted to run him down, he
told police.
AS the coupe sped out Holyoke,
Patrolman Fenrich followed, and
stopped it, but not until the boys
had damaged the police car in
their effort to make a getaway.
At police court the boys were
booked for reckless. driving and
damage to city property.
Mr.. Sears informed police he
was walking to the Holyoke-Euclid
bus stop when the boys strong
armed him and started fighting
him. They did not ask for money,
he told the officer. He could not
account for the boys behavior.

"For the benefit of our East
Cleveland resider,s, would like
to submit the f. owing data re-
garding the East Cleveland Pistol
Range located at 1910 Eddy rd.:
Originally, the range was built
for police pistol practice only. How
ever, after operations began it was
found that the police could not use
the entire time of availability,
and it was thought that it should
be opened to the public for rifle
and pistol shooting. This would
have required an attendant at all
times. however, so the plan was
abolished almost as quickly as it
was suggested.
'Then we found clubs could be
organized by persons who enjoyed
this sport. The range fee was set
at a normal rate and the clubs were
instructed to take in only persons
who were citizens of good standing.
Membership was not restricted to
East Clevelanders only, and in
checking the lists recently, l find
there is very small percentage OF
East Cleveland residents who have
Joined any of the clubs.
The purpose of this article is
10 acquaint our citizens with the
fact that the range is open to
the public and anyone interested
in this sport is welcome to apply
for membership in one of the sew
eral clubs.
"As | was somewhat responsible
for the range being built, ! like
to give this little history about
it. 1t was built years back at
q fraction of what it would cost
