5 Fire Runs
In A Day Is
Near Record

A near record for the number
Of calls in a day was hung up
by the East Cleveland Fire De-
partment Saturday, February 25th.
1t answered two emergency calls,
three fire alarms, and a combi-
nation alarm and phone call which
proved to be steam instead of
smoke.
The first call came in at S:22
q. m. when the department went
to 1860 Page ave. where Mrs.
Emma Shaffer, IS, had suffered
a heart attack. After administer.
ing oxygen for an hour, patient
was taken to Huron Road Hospital
in the police emergency patrol. Her
death followed in a few hours.
At 8:27 a. m. the department
answered a similar call to 1920
Melbourne I'd. where Michael Bar
no, SO, had suffered a heart attack.
His death resulted soon after.
When a tressle at the Morse
Cradle Coal Yard, 1850 Doan ave.,
burned, the department was called.
1t proved to be small blaze with
a small loss. This was at $3.50 a. m.
The big fire Of the day rang
in at 1885 and took the depart
ment hurrying to 1407-1400 Eddy
I'D. where two family dwelling
was found in flames. The fire
started in the basement and burned
through the floor up to the second
floor, igniting the walls. The inves-
tigation revealed that child had
been playing with matches in the
basement. Owner of the property
and occupants of the first floor,
is Edward H. Grove. The tenants
are Dorian Forichi and Larry
Colock. Building damage is esti-
mated at $4,000 and contents loss
at $1,000.
A quiet afternoon and an even
ing lull had settled about the
fire house. Then at 1892 a. m. an
alarm and a phone call, almost
simultaneously, sped the fire
fighters to Soho Gas Station, Eu-
cid at Page ave. where, what
appeared to be smoke filtering
through the roof, proved to be
steam from a hot water faucet
which had been left running. The
water was shut off and the boiler
drained. The only damage, which
was slight, was from the water
which flowed over onto the floor.
All was peaceful until 7:10 a. m.
Sunday when the crew which had
answered all the Saturday calls,
was about to it call a 24-hour day.
But fortune was with the fire
laddies as we'll as the occupant at
1895 Superior rd., where a living
room chair had burned. The owner
wanted to be sure he had the fire
out. Cause of this blaze was given
as carelessness with cigarettes.

Skating? 1t All
Depends On The
Next Three DAYS

"No skating. That was the
answer given to 481 telephone calls
which came into the police desk
at East Cleveland City Hall dur
ing the weekend. And as the
reply "No Skating" was made to
the callers, they invariably ex-
pressed surprise. They just could
not understand why, with snow,
blow and cold of real winter, such
as this locale has experienced the
past week or so, there still wasn't
ice skating on the lake in Forest
Hill Park.
Those in the know explain that
it takes many cold night to freeze
ice sufficiently thick to hold the
thousands of skaters which throng
the park when there is skating.
This cold snap had not turned the
trick up to Monday evening.
The lake ice surface was tried out
Sunday-it gave way showing that
it was still not thick enough.
Tuesday it was reported that
with two or three continued cold
nights and days, another test
would be made and if the ice holds,
the lake will be thrown open to
skating.
The weather during the past
week has made its heaviest drains
on the city's snow cleaning and
sailing for the season. Several
carloads of salt have been used
on main highway and main second
ary roads during the city's real
February winter.
Salt is now costing the city $3.50
a carload which is about two times
as it cost them just a few years
ago.
However, shedding has been ex-
cellent on the Lower Valley slopes
in Forest Hill Park and coasters
of all ages are enjoying the fun.

AT a recent business meeting or
the East Cleveland Business Mems
Association, parking problems were
discussed by several merchants
whose businesses are located on
Hayden ave. 1t was felt by several
of those present that the one-cent
parking meters might be the solu-
ton to the parking problems on
Hayden ave. and might afford more
customer parking space that is
now being used for other purposes.
As the result of this discussion,
President Fred Henderson appoint
ed committee to make survey Of
metered areas in Cleveland and the
recently installed meter areas in
Cleveland Heights and to secure
what other available information
they could from meters being used
in other municipalities throughout
the country.
This committee reported that
they had interviewed merchants on
Superior ave. between the East
Cleveland (west city limits) and
Lakeview rd. and found that all
favor parking meters.
Further information obtained
from Ralph c. Purvis, the Executive
Secretary of the Cleveland Heights
Chamber of Commerce, revealed
that meters recently installed on
Lee rd. there were so successful,
that meters are now being installed
on Coventry rd. and were being con-
sidered in other sections of that
city.
Further, it was revealed by the
Committee that in 1916, 45 percent
of the cities in the $4,000 to $4,000
population group were using meters
and that the general public, motor
lists, and merchants like parking
meters. Actual experience Of many
cities gives definite assurance that
we'll placed, well managed meters
will meet with the approval of
these groups.
Motorists, the committee re-
ported, like meters because they
find that it is easier to get a park
ing space in crowded areas and
thereby are not forced to continu-
ally cruise up and down the ave-
niue for an available space and are
not forced OF do thier shopping
elsewhere. They feel that with
meters, available space is equally
distributed and that they do not
have to compete with all-day park
ers. Merchants like meters because
their customers like them and be-
cause they give increasd carry
home trade.
There are several types of meter
installations. One of the most popu-
lar is the combination or multiple
coin system meter which method
provides for the use of coins in the
following combinations:
IL minutes for one cent.
"a minutes for two cents.
So minutes for three cents.
48 minutes for four cents.
60 minutes for five 1c coins, or
one sc coin.
12O minutes for ten 1c coins, or
two SC coins.
Hayden ave. merchants have felt
that serious parking problem has
been prevalent for some time, and
they feel that the installation OF
meters will greater alleviate this
problem. Enforcement of the limit
ed parking restrictions alone has
not provided a solution, and with
the present and expected increase
in the number of vehicles, the use
of parking meters can contribute
to the ultimate solution of the
parking problem by more rapid
turnover Of space for parking
which would produce more business.

Informal Talks Begun
ByU. 5. and Britain
On Japanese Treaty
BY The Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The United
States and Britain have started
informal talks on calling a con-
ference to write a Japanese peace
treaty.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
today that exchanges began in
New York last Friday between
high American and British OFF,
cials.
The United States also is be-
lieved to be in touch with the
other members of the Far Eastern
Commission-including Russia
on the subject.
u. S. Initiative Welcomed.
The Far Eastern Commission is
an international body set up by
the big powers after VI day to
formulate Allied policy toward
Japan. 1t comprises the states
which actively helped defeat the
Japanese.
The spokesman said Britain
welcomes American initiative in
starting the talks. Their first
, aim, he said. is to explore the
possibility of arranging for con-
ference on a Japanese peace
treaty"
The spokesman added: "These
informal talks are expected to
continue for some weeks and it is
hoped they will succeed in OBJ
tanning a wide area of agreement
in principle"
British Expert in New York.
Britain's top Far Eastern ex-
pert, M. e. Dening, is in New
York.
The spokesman said, as far as
he was aware, the United States
had not submitted any formal
draft for a treaty to the British,
but had only outlined their gen.
eral ideas.
Britain and her Commonwealth
partners already have worked out
their version of what Japanese
peace treaty should look like.
They favor a soft peace treaty,
but definitely want japanese

tinuing Allied supervision.

Drawback illustrated.
One drawback in using base
ments as shelters is illustrated by
this paragraph from descriptions
of damage in Hiroshima and Nag
asaki in the publication:
Floors were most affected by
direct blast in those cases where
pressure equalization was not pos
sible. For example, the floors
over inclosed Easements were
pushed downward when higher
floors were unchanged"
Other sites would be in the in
terror courts of buildings. He said
his agency is not only studying
the physical structure of the build
ings but the adjacent land. Open
spaces between buildings might
provide sites for underground
shelters.
Flying Glass Hazard.
Flying glass constitutes one of
the major hazards from attack
whether by atomic bomb or by
conventional explosives. Mr.. Reyn-
olds said there should be research
on how to solve the window prob
lem and that glass with wire en-
bedded in it Is not adequate. He
referred to one type of glass that
crumbles when struck but does
not Shatter.
The NSRB pamphlet says:
Tentatively, wire glass plus
half inch mesh wire screening Sc
curely mailed to the frame, may
afford a partial measure of protec-
ton. This would not cut off light
appreciably and would stop the
larger, more dangerous pieces of
flying glass. Another possible
