Members of the East Cleveland
Northeast Cleveland and Euclid
Kiwanis Clubs are putting forth
every effort to urge citizens to get
out and vote regardless of the
issue calling for visitations to the
polls. Surprising as it may seem,
many eligible citizens can't vote
simply because they don't take the
time to register. Or in some cases,
folks changing residence either for
get or overlook the fast that a
transfer of voting privileges, must
be noted with the Board of Elec-
tions.
Harvey Janke, one OF the direc-
tors of the Northeast Club, empha-
sized the need for an aggressive
citizenship at last weeks regular
meeting. Members of other Kiwan-
is Clubs attending the meeting
agreed to carry the message to
citizens through their daily con.
facts.
Now, more than ever, all citi.
zens must practice their rights anC
duty to vote. This privilege is
something to be proud of especially
when you consider other parts Of
the world where people are tolc
what to do how to do it and wher
to do it by strong-arm dictators
We don't want that in the United
States. But it can happen here i
the citizens neglect their rights.
The old excuse of not being able
to- register due to varied working
hours has been ruled out this sum
mer by the Board of Elections. Spe
cial overtime" hours allow citi
zens to register or transfer unit
900 p. m. each Monday, Wednes
day and Friday through Septem
Der 9th. The Board of Election
offices are located in the CLEVELAND
City Hall, East 9th st. and Lake
side.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays the!
are open until 4:3O p. M. and oil
Saturdays until noon.
Americans are great at setting
records-let's get out and breal
all voting records in November b!

Euclid ave. between East 125th
st. and Ivanhoe rd. carries a tre-
mendous amount Of traffic. And,
does it much easier through busy
East Cleveland than farther east
where there is less traffic and little
regulation.
Numerous important thorough
fares cross the avenue and pour
into it heavy volume of traffic.
In East Cleveland the avenue alb
serbs it with hardly ripple in
the smooth flow Of traffic. This
comes from the carefully syn
chronized traffic control lights.
Those who enter East Cleveland
with heavy foot on the gas soon
discover they are just wasting their
time, and might just as well take
it easy at about 27 miles per hour,
and avoid stops and starts.
City officials and police officers
from other municipalities come
here from quite distance to study
East Cleveland's traffic control,
and are usually amazed at the lack
of confusion at Euclid and Super
Tor. Two of Greater Cleveland's

Red Cross water safety instruc-
tors, Sue Ebenhack and Mary Jane
Wisecup are seen here distributing
awards to some of the 174 East
Cleveland children who won certi-
ficates at the water safety cere-
monies: Parker Mapes, Janet Mar

From small water sprites prov
ing their 15-second breath-holding
ability to veteran aquatic stars
executing precision dives with the
greatest of ease, the Sunday pro-
gram of the East Cleveland Red

tors at the Shaw pool event can
attest to that fact.

spect. Lighting in residential
districts will be four times great

tion of so per cent more lamps
in these areas.
The bonds. bearing interest not
to exceed two and one-half per
cent per year and maturing ten
years after authorization, would
be dated January /, 1851.
Bids were authorized by the
Commissioners for the purchase
Of equipment and supplies needed
by the various municipal depart
ments, such as lighting replace
ments for the city's baseball
field on Shaw ave-, a utility car
for the fire department, an cleo
trio hoist and concrete mixer for
the service department, and a
police painting machine. Much of
the present equipment is from
to 25 years old.
Light at the municipal baseball
lot can barely last out the cur
rent season, according to reports.
Replacement costs were estimated
to be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. At present there is no We
hicle in the fire department avail
able for minor calls other than
the major pieces of equipment.
East Cleveland's participation
in a proposed countrywide police
mobile radio network was also
under discussion. The city of
Cleveland would purchase the
equipment, with the participating
suburbs paying their share of
costs for individual master switch
controls. A letter to the Cleve-
land mayor will signify this city's
desire to participate.

main thoroughfares join here with
a hill and busy shopping center
as added hazards.
Recent changes made at this
corner have greatly improved con-
ditions that most municipalities
would have considered good.
Until few days ago it was al
most impossible to find a convent
ent" parking place along Euclid
ave. We are told some thought
business would be harmed when
free parking was eliminated and
parking meters installed.
Your writer talked to several
East Cleveland merchants this
week who are now enthusiastic
about the meters. They pointed to
plenty of parking available within
few feet of their stores. One
admitted that his car and those of
his two clerks had previously oc-
cupied the most convenient spaces
at the curb while customers were
searching for parking.
East Cleveland's streets are, we
believe, as safe as mechanical con-
trolls can make them. We have
noted a feeling among outsiders"
that East Cleveland is a poor place
to fracture the traffic laws. The
police department isn't large, but
it is mighty efficient under the
direction of Police Chief Horace A.
"Buck" Weaver.

Capt. LathrOp Of
 Fairbanks, Seeks ? New Radio Stations

WASHINGTON, (P) - Capt. Austin F. Lathrop, publisher of the Fairbanks News Miner, said Saturday he believes that if gov ernment agencies twill leave the Alaska natives alone they will care for themselves"
 The publisher hailed the defeat week ago by Barrow Eskimos of an interior department propos- al to create 750-square mile reservation for them. It was the first of three scheduled elections on reservation proposals. "I am opposed to establishment of native reservations in Alaska" Captain Lathrop told a reporter. "I am delighted with the result at Barrow.
 "If the department will leave the natives alone they will care for themselves and we can give them any aid they need.
 They feel they have a right and are anxious to assume their position as citizens and do not want reservations"
 The publisher and his secretary, Miss Miriam Dickey, filed appli- cations Friday for two additional radio stations, one at Juneau and one at Ketchikan. Each would op- crate on 1000 kilowatts of power.
 The applications were filed in the name of the Midnight Sun Broadcasters, Inc, of which La throp is president.
 Miss Dickey said that the stock holders of the company include employees and officials of the La throp stations at Fairbanks and Anchorage and business men of Juneau and Ketchikan.
 The publisher and Miss Dickey left for Los Angeles Saturday.

Crew Of Crashed CAY Rescued; C-54 Still Missing

daring, dogged rescue of 10 air man who crash-landed on a bar ren, snowy Yukon mountaintop four days ago was all but com plete Saturday morning. Nine were brought here Friday night. The tenth was to be flown in af- ter daybreak Saturday.
 The crash survivors had spent three days and nights in sub-zero cold after their U. S. air force CAY struck the 1000 foot noun tain 60 miles northwest of here last Tuesday.
 Their plane met disaster while engaged in the giant aerial search for a U.S.A.F. C-54 which disap- peared Jan. 26 with A persons aboard.
 Five men of para-rescue team, who made a pinpoint drop onto the peak Thursday, aided the 10 fliers from the CAT down the steep, rugged slope Friday Three of the survivors were injured.
 At the mountains base they were met by Canadian and U. S. rescue party which had forged 60 miles through the wastes from Whitehorse, losing three of four weasel" snow tractors enroute.
 A short time later a U.S.AF. rescue helicopter piloted by It. Frank Alden, Boston. Mass, put down in a small, nearby clearing.
 Making shuttle flights to Pon Lake, IS miles away, Alden was able to remove five Americans and four Canadians of the C-47 operational and spotter crew be- fore darkness fell.
 The remaining man, of the Prin- cess Patricia's Canadian light in- fantry, was left at the mountain base camp to be picked up by the helicopter Saturday morning.
 From Pon Lake, the nine men were loaded into a CAY transport and ferried the 45 miles here.
 The one stretcher case was NY Sgt. C. R. Dunne, 30, Los Angeles, Calif., whose leg was fractured in several places when propeller slashed through the fuselage dur ing the crash landing.
 Pvt. R. L. 10th, Is, Newport News, Va, suffered head injuries and shock that caused him to lose his memory for eight hours.
 Sgt. E. J. Wesloski, 48, Milwau- kee, Wis, the crew chief, was hurt about the chest.
 It. D. J. King, 28, Belleville, N. J., the pilot, and It. H. L. Zacha- riae, 20, Tulsa, Okla, escaped with minor scalp injuries.
 The five Americans were riding in the forward section of the plane wheer they received the full force of the impact. The five Canadians in the rear were shak- en up but unhurt.
 Morale of the survivors was de- scribed by the crew of the rescue plane as terrific" They said the
 
 praise for the Canadians who ad- ministered first aid, kept the fires burning and shielded them from the biting cold during the nights on the peak.
 Meanwhile, the search for the missing C-54 goes on unceasingly.
 Hope that at least some of the A are alive has been kept kindled
