Save A
Life For
Christmas

The national traffic death toll
is 118S higher than in 1949, Cleve-
lands record is $50 worse than
last year. But Cleveland may
catch up with the National figures
f we are not careful during De-
oember.
During the tie up because Of
the storm, there was not one traf-
fic fatality. But on the first day
that the streets were open the
killing was resumed.
] While we were digging out of
the storm, pedestrians crossed
streets wherever the snow was low
nough to wade through. Some
,otorists kept crawling along re-
3rdless of stop signs or traffic
gnals. The light vehicle travel
as an excuse to forget" the traf-
&C rules.
AS the walks and streets were
ared these practices persisted.
otorists and pedestrians must be-
y:n to observe the rules of the
road again. Increasing speed and
greater travel makes the "snow-
)ound" behavior hazardous.
For the last several years, De-
cember and January have been mad
months in Cleveland's traffic rec
ord. The storm cancelled almost q
week Of shopping. More package
laden, hurrying pedestrians will be
on the streets in the next two
weeks. More motorists will be
scurrying around to get their err
rands done. More trucks will be
trying to get back to normal de-
livery schedules.
The result will be more traffic
casualties - unless both motorists
and pedestrians are more careful
than usual, and give others the
same courtesy and consideration
that they expect to receive.
Pedestrians should carry pack
ages so their view will not be OBJ
structed. Cross streets only at in
tersections. Stay on the curb until
the light change is complete. Do
not step into the street from be-
hind a parked car nor run out to
catch street car or bus.
Motorists should stay below the
legal speed limits. Give the pedes-
trians the right Of way to which
they are entitled. Take it easy
going around corners and while
passing groups at bus or car stops.
Don't rush past, splattering dirty
water or slush all over folks. Sig
nal before turning or stopping,
and above all observe traffic signs
and signals.
Chief Of Police, George J. Mato-
witz, has asked those planning pre-
Christmas parties to make every
effort to see that those who drive
do not imbibe too freely at the
party. That caution is just as good
for the pedestrian too.
All over the country, the ex-
perience is that drinking increases
ones chance Of being involved in
traffic accident-as q motorist
or as pedestrian.

Purchase Of
Seals Urged

Over 20,528 Greater Cleveland
ers took advantage of a free chest
x-ray during the 1850 community
visits of the Christmas Seal Mo-
bile x-ray units, DR.. Robert H.
Bishop, jr., chairman Of the Cleve-
land Christmas Seal Sale Com
mittee announced this week. In
addition, great number Of Cleve-
landers visited either city or county
x-ray clinics, where the free
chest x-ray service is also avail
able.
Regular chest x-rays, at least
once year, is proving to be a
powerful weapon against tubercu-
losis," DR.. Bishop said. Constant
vigil can stamp out this disease.
That Is why we have enclosed q
Health Card" with the 1850
Christmas Seals emitting the entire
family to free chest x-ray at the
X-ray clinics. We will also continue
to send mobile units into the
neighborhood to extend the protec-
tion against tuberculosis to the
home, community and schools"
DR.. Bishop also pointed out that
because of the big snow storm
many persons may have laid the
Christmas Seals aside being "un-
derstandably occupied with the
snow emergency problems" If
this has happened to you," he said,
'tlook up your Seals today and
send in your contribution so that
there will be no let down in the
continuous battle against tuber-
culosis."
Purchase Of Christmas Seals
directly helps support the work
of the mobile units and the x-rav
clinics. The Seals were delivered
to all homes through the mail. If
you have not received yours, con-
tact Seal Sale headquarters, 1900
Euclid ave., Tower 1910.
Christmas Seals with their mes
sage of hope and good cheer, make
excellent decorations for Christ

PROMISED FOR
LOCAL ROADS
Ann Bolte and B. P. w. Club
Get Action To Alleviate
Road Dangers

A traffic light is to be install
ed soon at the dangerous Route
2-163 intersection near the 0. P.
S. powerhouse east of the city,
through the efforts of the Port

Organized as a civic group only
two years ago, the women's club
is to be congratulated on COM
pleting its first project for civic
improvement.
Ann Bolte was appointed as a
committee of one to try ito ac-
complish the project adopted by
the club. The local realtor and
gift shop owner solicited the aid
of County Representative Rober!
Reider and with him, went to Co.
lumbus where she asked the di-
rector of the State Highway De-
partment for rush action.

ton, of which she is. a director
she would also visit the highway
depar r.ment to check on progress
of the local project.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Bolte was
notified by phone that the traffic
light will be installed at the dan
gerous intersection within the
next 60 or 80 days. 1t will prob.
ably be a three-way light to al.
leviate the danger on the heavily.

When Mrs. Bolte went to Co
lumbus in behalf of the clubs pro.
ject, she was armed with charts
and papers showing the traffic
rate at the intersection, the acci
dent rate, and photos of the site
taken by Willis Misch.
While there is a flasher ligh
at the intersection to warn traf
fc approaching from the east
a traffic light should be especially
helpful during the summer month.
when thousands of visitors come
here to vacation or visit the new

Chapman. Out-of-town authors
ties and ordinances were studied.
The entire city was zoned, block
by block, and a proposed zoning
map was prepared. This map and
a proposed ordinance were pre-
sented to the city council in April

In an effort to revive action on
this subject, President Stan Lar

chairman of a zoning committee,
which will be composed of mean-

Factories and Schools Have
Sufficient Supply For
Two Weeks

Although many homes are dan
gerously short of coal, local fac
tories, business places and the
public schools have sufficient sup
ply to last at least two more
weeks through cold weather and
a longer supply if weather condi-
tions alleviate.
A last-minute purchase of 90
tons of coal from a Lakeside deal
er averted shutdown of the pub
lie library, museum and several
other City Hall rooms late We'd
nesday when Custodian Charles
Wulf stated there was only
enough coal remaining to last ur-
til Monday.
At the Standard Products CONF
pany plant, Factory Manager Ed
win Norris stated that there is
enough coal to last at least two
weeks and there is nothing alarln-
ing" unless coal ON order cannot
be delivered.
Delivery of carload and halt
of coal ten days ago at the public
schools insures 20-day supply
for the current temperature and
for longer period if spring ar
rives, Supt. D. d. Sims stated.
Dealers Ration
With delivery date of more coal
definitely uncertain, local coal
dealers this week were rationing
what little coal they have in their
yards and permitting sale of only
one-half ton to customer.
The East Clinton Lumber and
Coal Company has stoker coal and
the Port Clinton Lumber and Coal
Company has soft coal, with both
companies limiting sale on the
ration plan.
Tanke Coal and Ice Company's
supply was exhausted at noon on
Thursday, with the exception of
stoker coal reserved for the dairy
and hospital.
The acute coal shortage at Erie
Ordnance Depot was alleviated
temporarily the first of this week
with the arrival of shipment of
coal which was transferred from
another Army installation in Ohio
to this depot.
In the meantime, an 11-point
fuel and electricity conservation
program, always in effect at the
depot, was given renewed en-
phasis by the appointment of a
conservation board by Lit. Col.
Foster w. Aungst, Commanding
Officer.
"It's a good policy" 1t. Col.
M. M. Duncan, president of the
post conservation board, says, "to
conserve at any and all times
when spending government money.
AS taxpayers, we should all be
aware of this fact"
'"The national coal shortage has
focused our immediate attention
on the saving of heat and electric
power" Col. Duncan explains.
Every worker and every resident
on the post are being told how
they can assist in this conserva-
ton project and urged to do So"

CHAMBER GIVES zONINC FIRST
PRIORITY AS CIVIC NEED HERE

Zoning was given number one
priority by the Port Clinton
Chamber of Commerce Thursday
evening at it's meeting in the Col
onial Club rooms.
Members were reminded of the
ever present chance that the value
of their property could at any
time be greatly reduced by erec-
tion of a shack on an adjoining
lot. and that lack of a zoning or
dinance is also detrimental to
new construction.
All agreed that the advantages
accruing to the whole community
would far outstrip any individual
objections. Chief obstacles in
adoption of zoning ordinance
apparently are that it takes a lot
of time and work to prepare, and
that it is liable to step ON some
ones toes.
In 1946. the special Zoning COM
mittee of the Chamber worked
with a citizens committee on zon-
