Accident Is
Averted By
PatroIman

A patrolman and truck driver
were complimented by Chief OF
Police H. S. Weaver for their cool
headedness and quick thinking in
traffic emergency at the busy
Noble Euclid ave. intersection
Thursday, February 10Th.
Sounding the trucks powerful
airhorn and waving his arms, Cast.
mer Barkovitz, %, of Alliquippa,
Pa, driving north on Noble rd.,
was able to catch the attention of
Patrolman Russell o. Huff, pa
trolman on duty at the intersec-
ton. He signaled Huff he was COM
ing through the light, just chang
ing to red.
In a split second, Patrolman
Huff halted east and westbound
traffic, including a CTS bus, just
starting on the $50" signal.
. The truck, minus brakes, came
speeding down Noble I'd. and
Barkovitz managed the U turn
east, into Euclid ave. but the
trailer wheels struck the north
curb, sliding some of the load into
the street. Of all the vehicles
halted, only one was damaged by
the rushing truck. An automobile
driven by William C. Dreisug,
4095 East 123rd ST., was sideswiped
by the truck before it came to q
stop.
Patrolman Huff has been in
charge of traffic at the Euclid
Noble intersection for 20 of his q
years with the East Cleveland
Police Department.
Barkovitz reported that the
brakes had failed just as he started
down the Noble hill, one Of the
steepest grades in the city.

Two Weeks Coal
Supply In Schools

Unless severe winter weather
should come and stay for a while,
the coal bin at the power house
for Shaw High and Prospect
School will provide heat for the
next two weeks, announced William
Speed, superintendent of buildings.
Mr.. Speed said Tuesday that
there is one weeks supply of fuel
on hand, and another weeks sup
ply is assured by the dealer supply
ing the power house. However, no
added heat is being offered in the
two buildings after school hours,
and any meetings scheduled will
have to be held, minus added heat
ing.
Outside gym classes continue as
usual, since extra heat is not pro.
vided for them at any time.
Pupils and faculty at Shaw High
had an extra holiday Tuesday. A
broken fan belt in the heating
unit as it enters the building from
the power house in the rear of
Prospect School across the way,
made it impossible to get the heat
past that point.
New parts We're Immediately
ordered and rushed in from South
Bend, Ind, and installation was
expected to be completed in time
for the resuming of classes today.
Wednesday was a holiday anyway,
because of Washington's birthday
falling on that day.
Many apartment house owners
have been forced to use a cheaper
grade of coal in order to keep their
furnaces burning, it was reported.
Demands on the East Ohio Gas
Company brought them a record
service for Monday. An estimated
700,000,000 cubic feet af natural
gas was used to set a record for
a one-day sale.
In the meanwhile the L. S. Court
at Washington has given the soft
coal striking miners until Friday
to meet contempt of court charges
for not returning to work.

spected 25 rooming houses and
where a move was advisable, 10.
Gated them in better and safer
living quarters.
Sixteen active relief cases were
on the city rolls at the close of
1949, and the majority of these are
persons whose physical condition
makes it impossible for them to
care for themselves.
The department co-operated with
the Kiwanis Club tie project, dis
tributing the ties to the County
Relief Bureau, Division of Aid for
the aged, and the Rehabilitation
Center.
The department, through the as
sistance of various civic groups,
was able to remember 10 families
with Thanksgiving baskets, and 65
families with Christmas baskets
and other aid.
Miss Quinn is at present serving
on the Personal Services Commit
tee of the YMCA at the request of
that organization.
Due to the nature of the service
in which the Welfare Department
is engaged, much of its work can
not be publicized, but East Cleve-
landers may rest assured that its
needy are being cared for both as
to physical and medical aid, either
by the city itself, or through re-
ferral to the proper agency.
Juveniles coming to the depart
ment's attention are given every
possible assistance.

Police Department
Plans In-Service
Training Classes

Another in-service training school
for members of the East Cleveland
Police Department will begin Fri
day, March 3rd, with the first
term going into April, and the
! second term starting in October,
after the summer vacations are
ended.
Under the general supervision Of

the U. s. Secret Service depart
ments. William Marlowe, who heads
the city's electrical department
will also serve on the faculty.
instruction will cover all phases

traffic and police work, laws per-
tinent to police duty, personal re-
lations, fire arms, and course
under members of the staff at
Huron Road Hospital.
Commenting on the training,
Chief Weaver points out that it
is in line with the departments
policy to provide all department
members with the best possible
training to prepare them to meet
the many responsibilities which
make up their daily service in pro-
tecting the lives and property of
East Clevelanders. To newer mem
bers, the school will offer new
training, in addition to that they
have already received, and to older
members, it will be a review, with
emphasis on new methods.
At present Lieut.. Polk is assist
ing with instruction in the service
training school being held for mem
bers of the City of Euclid's police
department. Lieut.. Polk, who is a

On Tuesday, February 21st, in
the home of their neice, Mrs. Ed
ward Partridge and family in Balm
bridge, New York, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Welcome of Hartford ave.
celebrated their fiftieth wedding
anniversary.
The couple were married in Bel
lows Falls, Vermont, and came to
East Cleveland 16 years ago when
Mr.. Welcome was transferred here
from the Windsor, Vermont, plant
of the National Acme Co. He is
employed in the scheduling depart
ment and works every day, despite
his 7S years. Mrs. Welcome, year
younger, keeps house, as usual.
A lover of dogs, Mr.. Welcome
managed dog shows until within
the last few years.
All excited over their weeks
holiday, Mrs. Welcome wearing an

decreased emphasis on the ser.
mon. Instead of attending to meet
ones friends, or simply to keep
up to date, the church goer should
choose, even to self compulsion, to
find God and to express his need
for grace through participation in
stated church service.
Too much preaching, too much
looking on, too awkward seating
arrangements, and too little use
of the fine arts were all mentioned
as deterrents in church attendance.
A sense of belonging, both in a
social and in a spiritual sense,
must be further cultivated in the
average church, in the fostering
of the feeling that marks a family
of God.
The meeting was presented with
several possible projects for the
Club to undertake and the Execu-
tive Committee was instructed to
proceed to formulate definite plan
before the March meeting. The
Club welcomed nine men from the
Glenville Congregational Church,
which had formerly been served by
Mr.. Scotford as Pastor.

garner sufficient income to meet
the lighting expenditure.
Finance Director G. T. Apthorp
said that there has been a growing
trend among municipalities to
establish a "pay-as-you-go" policy
for capital expenditures. The
method already applies here to the
general operating expenses of the
city.
Should East Cleveland adopt the
program, it would be the pioneer
ing city in this movement in Ohio.
If adopted, it was explained, the
levy would make for the next
few years until a reserve capital
outlay fund of some quarter of a
million dollars would be set up.
This, it was stated, would be keep
ing with the city's size and age
and needs.
1t was pointed out that the time
is here when extensive re-installa-
tions repairs and additions must
be made to sewers, street surfacing
and other items to maintain the
excellent services for which the
suburb is noted.

The directors of King Solo

cast upon the terrors of animal
life and the treacherous majesty
Iof Africa's mountains. deserts, etc.
They have made the dramatic
most, of the multitudes of tribes.
These man-eating men and their
mates have responded magnifi-
Gently to Metros invitation to be-

they are wonderful actors in being
just themselves, most of all the
7-foot Watussis, reputed to be
descendants of the Pharoahs and
looking every inch of it.
The film comes to its climax in
a Watussi kraal Cor whatever the
Watussis call their kraalS). Here,
the tribesmen play two of the most
unusual scenes ever photographed,
IA duel dance and the duel itself
between two reed-like giants who
dispute the right to the Watussi
throne.
1t makes most fitting peak to
one of the great modern adven-

Too Weak, No Love
By Horry Macarthur

For some time-at least ever
since the success of Meet Me in
st. Louis''-Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer
has been aware of a crying de-
mand for large-scale Technicolor
musicals dedicated to how quaint
it was back in the days just be-
fore and just after the turn of
the century. Some other ob-
servers have not been able to
detect this demand, but MGM
keeps filling it. The latest answer
is 1.-TWO Weeks-With Love-" in
which Louis Calhern, Ann Har-
ding, Jane Powell, Richardo Mon
talban and number of other
people will be found cutting up
rather foohshly at the Capitol.
Among its distinctions is the
fact that 1.-TWO Weeks-With
Love" is the first musical in ad-
mittedly shaky memory to be
based almost entirely on the tragic
plight of a 17-year-old girl whose
mother will not let her wear
corsets. The poor kid becomes
the laughing stock of KisSamee-
in-the -Catskills and wants to go
home. She could have stayed
home in the first place for all one
seat occupant cared yesterday.
Mr.. Calhern and Miss Harding
dc manage to be consistently ap-
pealing as the badgered parents
Of this wailing child, Mr.. Calhern,
of course, could get some life
into reading of the weeks car
loading report. There's a bobby
Sox size teen-ager named Debbie
Reynolds on hand, too, who is
comic and thoroughly human at
the same time. This, of course,
only has the effect of making
every one else seem unhuman.
Not in, just un.
OF course, if you think Jane
Powell is as beautiful as an angel
and sings like one, too, you should
not be kept away by any unpleas-
ant remarks here. Miss Powell is
around, all right, looking like
Jane Powell and singing frequently
without too much provocaJion.

Of moviegoers. If the latter, in the
riches at M-G-M's feet, 1t will be-
an act Of unforgivable injustice.
King Solomon's Mines" let
1t be understood, is a screen gem.
Its human stars are Deborah Kerr
and Stewart Granger. They are
fine representatives of their
species but they are not the real
stars Of the big film. Africa,
land Of beauty. mystery and vio-
lence infinitely greater than Miss
Kerr's. is the brilliantly dramatic
element of the film.
Its tribesmen, including 7-foot
Watussis, it's elephants, lions,
tigers, gazelles, and even its
jungle underground are more ex-
citing than the humans in King
Solomon's Mines" This is not
criticism Of the picture, however.
The basic story is good enough. 1t
Is just that Africa, with a Techni-
color camera to dominate, is not
going to see its picture stolen by
little man sitting at typewriter
and merely human actors pretend
ing that their personal affairs and
passions could be that important.
Ask yourself these. questions:
What chance does Miss Kerr
have against a scene in which an
elephant herd tries to move its
slaughtered king before the white
hunters can claim their prize?
Or, what chance do the ele-
plants and their dead monarch
have against a stampede of what
looks like 100000 animals run
ming through a battery of Techni-
color cameras?
Here, you see, is the drama of
all Mother Natures conglomerate
children and the less familiar ones
are naturally bound to steal the
show.
Smart M-G-M did it's exciting
best to find story worthy of COM
peting with the drama of Africa's
landscape in King Solomon's
Mines" It comes up with H. Rider
Haggard's old adventure tale,
adapted by Helen Deutsch. and it
brings Miss Kerr and Granger to
grips with each other and with
Africa in a gripping fashion. No
merely glittering travelogue is
this.
What it is, happily, is tale of a
tired cynical white hunter who
undertakes to lead a rich and
pretty London woman across
Africa on a search for her long
missing husband. They start this
half-mad journey with a sound
Freudian dislike for each other
and If any one cannot guess how it
is going to end, he never read H.
Rider Haggard or saw movie.
Miss Kerr who can take the
savagery Of Africa and still look
beautiful, and the others in the
cast, give the picture a theme
and continuity. To the degree
that it is necessary for movie
drama purposes. they occupy the
central focus of the cameras di-
rected by Compton Bennett and
Andrew Marion.
Yet it Is the intelligence of the
direction of "King Solomon's
Mines" that the amazing things
happen when the brooding vio-
lence of the African landscape is
the Photographic subject. The
very earth shakes when the count
less animals stampede in thun-
derous din right into the lenses
Of the cameras. The screen misses
with menace when gigantic snakes
and minute, but deadly. scorpions
stalk Miss Kerr or huge and
hungry tiger slashes at her tent
in the doomlike silence of Africa's
night.
Man, much less a beautiful red
haired woman, never looked more
dramatic than in the survival of
such hazards as these and movie
