HARNESS RACING WORLD ACOC
OVER TROTTER LEW HANOVER

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. y
The harness racing world sat up
in amazement last winter when an
unknown trotter named Lew
Hanover carried a $4,000 price
tag.
Investigation by those who
thought it was a typographical
error caused even more aston
ishment. The four -year-old hadn't
even Won race!
Turned Down $4,000
The owners, Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
leigh Wilkins of Marion, ILL.,,
meant every penny of that fifty
grand, They have turned down
$4,000 for the mystery trotter. :"
The sale price caused quite a
furor in the harness set, brought
more visitors to Lew Hanovers
stall here than to the great Prox-
unity a year ago. They agreed
Lew was big and good-looking
horse but were inclined to think
the price tag bit too plump
Now, after watching the royal
ly-bred son of Dean Hanover and
Lady Pamela race twice at the
Saratoga Raceway, things don't
appear quite so amusing.
Never a winner in his only
five starts year ago, Lew Han
over raised eyebrows in his first
stakes race here by roaming home
third despite absorbing about all
the tough racing luck imaginable
The wise owls were impressed
but said the next time would tell
more.
Hit the Jackpot
The next time said a mouthful.
Lew Hanover hit the jackpot,
licking a field of nine others in
the So, 700 Eric Stakes with 2:09
mile that observers agree could
have been at least 2:07 if he
hadn't coasted the last quarter

a victory but as even money fav-

is looking saner now though, but

KER. MILLION has been sentenced to par
1v1 ticularly violent death. No pardon, no
appeal. no suspended sentence is possible.
Time: December. 1851.
Method: Blow to the skull sufficient for
fracture; managing, to be selected later, of
limbs and internal organs.
Executioner: Not yet chosen. Mr. Million
himself will probably help.
Crime: Carelessness.

The victim might turn out to be woman,
or your child or. for that matter. you. OF
course no one can say exactly, but here the
National Safety Council gives you preview
of the probable victim, based on its mountain
of grim statistics
Mr.. Million is now 81 years old. Normally
he could expect to live to be 68. He stands
five feet, eight inches tall.
He was born in town of 500 and fin
ished his junior year in high school there.
Then Mr.. Million got semi-skilled job.
followed presently by another at little
higher pay.
HE raise was big enough to let him buy his
first car, a 194l model he picked up for 500.
He had had drivers license since he was is,
but he had learned to drive when he was
younger.
Mr.. Million is not married yet. and prob
ably will not find the girl he is looking for
before he dies.

been called He thinks there will be war
within the next five years, and wants the
United States to get ready by outlawing the
Communist Party, making an H-bomb and
passing a universal military training law.
But if there is war. he will not live to par
ticipate.
If you inquire around MIR. Millions home
town. you will find that he hasn't been in
any scrapes with the police, except for the
time he didn't see stop sign. He doesn't
have much of reputation for vice his
friends say that he smokes cigarettes and
drinks little, but so do they.
He sometimes plays cards or bingo or buys
rattle ticket when they're offering chances
on something he would like to win. But ask
him if he CANDLES heavily, and he'll just
laugh.
Do you have a picture now of Mr.. Million,
who is still too young to be called mister

very much? Does he seem pretty average
sort of young man?
Exactly. He is very much an average
young man. Perhaps it seems unfair that he
will be killed within the next three months
Fairness is not involved in his case. Nor has
there been single instance of justice in all
the thousands of cases that preceded Mr.
Millions.
This is what Mr. Million will be doing Just
before he dies:
DEATH will probably be far from his thoughts
in his last minutes. He will be watching, from
behind his steering wheel, a concrete highway
near his town. The time will be about 10
O'Clock at night.
He may notice that his speedometer shows
more than $1,000 miles. He will remind him
self to have a grease job done at 10000 He
takes good care of the car.
Evening star., 1951-10-14

At the appointed minute next December
Mr.. Million will be driving on straight
stretch of road. He will unconsciously speed
up little - just enough so he will be able
to make it home without taking half the
night
A car will approach from the opposite
direction, perhaps the twentieth that viii
have come by IN five miles. The car will dim
it's lights for Mr.. Million, and Mr.. Million
will do likewise
MIR. MILLION may see at the last second that
he is straddling the center line, or that the
other car has swerved trife from its straight
course.
But there will be no time for him to
execution.
For an instant the dimmed left headlights
of the two cars will stare palely into each
others lenses.
The contact will be abrupt, shattering.
The cars will rip forward, as if in combat,
tearing and gouging at each other. In an
other second they will disengage and spin
away from each other One will turn over,
its wheels still spinning in the air. The other
will scrape to stop on the opposite side
of the road.
Mr. Million? He will have received the
executioner's blow. He may be dead before
the wheels stop turning; he may live few
hours more in hospital bed.

According to John A. Rich,
chairman of Board 29, they have
for some time been trying to get

had not worked out and David M.
Spence, board secretary, finally
made tn arrangements with the
East Cleveland Board of Educa-
ton to move back to this city.
Following its policy of all-out
cooperation on the home front, no
rental fee is being charged Board

Can Meet Problems Of Older Town

for better city are those concern
ing population shifts, recreational
needs, and the re-development OF
certain areas. He hold how, upon
the suggestion of the Planning
Commission, the City of Lakewood
had bought up a number of delin-
quent properties which are proving
of great value now in expansion of
its recreational program.
A Planning Commission, in the
opinion of the speaker can offer
the public chance to become bet
ter acquainted with planning think
ing, and thus offer a yardstick by
which to measure municipal action
on city planning questions.
"It is ridiculous" said Mr.. Teare,
'to have a zoning ordinance un-
less you first have Planning
Commission"
Mr.. Teare referred to the Re-
gional Planning Commission whose
services are available to all muni-
cipalities. He cited the City of
Euclid as one city which is meet
ing its rapid growth problems by
utilizing this service.
During the question period Mr..
Teare was asked abount the com
mon problem of all older cities,
namely, "What to do to maintain
neighborhoods". He replied the
real job is to try to make neigh
borhoods as livable as possible for
as long as possible through edu-
cation, and stimulation of neigh
borhood interest.

What's The
Trouble East
Cleveland 3?

Tagging dangerously far behind
in the eleventh hour of its 1851
Red Cross Fund campaign, and
farther behind, percentage-wise,
than any of the other major east
side suburbs, East Cleveland to
date has contributed only S2,768, so
barely one-fifth Of the total goal
of $12, 2,199, which must be reached
when the drive ends this Saturday
March 18th.
Comparative Fund figures of
four other nearby suburbs, con-
tanned in a survey made by the
Greater Cleveland Red Cross Chap
ter yesterday, reveal that the
three Heights areas, in addition to
South Euclid, are all nearer their
goals than this city.
Cleveland Heights and South
Euclid have both passed the half
way mark. University Heights is
nearing the three-quarters point,
while Shaker Heights tally has
hit one-third of its goal.
Confident, however, of ultimate
success, Mrs. Robert R. Stratton,
local Fund chairman, commented,
EAST Cleveland has never yet let
us down in any Red Cross drive,
and this time, as in the past, we
must go over the top"
"Vital Red Cross services, includ-
ing help for men in the armed
forces and their families, the blood
program, civil defense preparedness
and disasters, both large and small,
will be successful in ratio to our
own response, the ch arm n
stated.
To insure maximum coverage of
the city's population, East Cleve-
land Red Cross Fund headquarters,
GLenville 1-8845, will welcome
calls from individuals not yet con-
tacted in the drive, and also any
wishing to make additional con-
tributions. Volunteer workers will
be sent at once to the homes of
those wishing to contribute.
Headquarters, in the Council
Chamber of City Hall, will be open
this week daily from 10 a. m. un-
til A p. m. and on Saturday after
noon, final day of the campaign,
from l p. m. to p. m.
