Chest X-Ray
Service Begins
Here Thursday

When you step out on the street
today, if you find yourself in the
Shaw-Hayden district, don't be
surprised if smiling woman steps
up to you. A total stranger she
may be, and yet she isn't, for she
may be your neighbor or the
mother of your child's school mate.
She is a member of the Chambers
PTA and she will be urging you
to have your chest X-rayed.
This is the volunteer service
which PTAers will give in two
hour shifts during the 1851 visit
of the Christmas Seal Travelling
Clinic to East Cleveland. Today,
tomorrow and Saturday they will
be in the Shaw-Hayden district.
Monday and Tuesday the Shaw
Prospect PTA folk will be busy
in the Taylor r-Euclid-Coit district,
the unit being at Colt and Euclid
aves. In the last three days of
next week, the mobile unit moves
to Euclid-Superior where the Su-
perior PTA, members will be on
duty. Caledonia PTA enrolees will
have their inning during the last
three days of the clinic, June 18th,
18th and 18th, at Noble-Nelaview.
Here they will join the Cleveland
Heights volunteers since this area
is East Cleveland School district
and Cleveland Heights municipal
district.
This is but one of the many
community services which PTA
women offer, busy as they are with
their homes, their families, and
their other community services.

Director who planned and con-
Quoted the drill.
Just previous to the drill, school
officials went on the air, explaining
to the pupils that they were about
to have their first Security Drill,
and reminding them that it was a
precaution only, just as the fire
drills which they take in their
stride. The pupils were not alarm
ed, and when the signal sounded,
they quietly followed instructions,
said DR.. Myers.
Under the Security Drill plan
ming, pupils are assigned to safety
locations in the basement or on
the first floor of the building, ac-
cording to Home Rooms. Their
Home Room teacher is there with
them. AS they reach their assigned
safety sector, the pupils face the
wall, cover their faces and the ex-
posed parts of their body, as they
would during real raid to pro-
tect themselves against heat rays
of the bomb. They remain this way
until the "All Clear" one long
ring, the usual class passing bell.
Each safety section has been
selected to provide two walls be-
tween the pupils and the out-of-
doors, and away from windows,
to avoid being injured from flying
glass, as would occur in real raid.
Each instructor must draw the
shades and close all room doors
leading into corridors as each class
room is vacated at the sound of the
drill.
With the drill signal-all stairs
become one way only-down, and
pupils move at once to their sta
tions.

East CIeveland's civil defense
IIItraining program is well underway
with First Aid, Auxiliary Fire and
Auxiliary Police classes all in
progress.
About 300 East Clevelanders are
now receiving first aid training.
Clarence Rauch, Director of Train
ing for the City's Civil Defense
program, said today.
"Our program is moving along
excellently," Rauch reports. IL

turnout of volunteers for these
classes, as well as by the demon
strated capabilities of our instruc-
tors"
Members of first aid classes are
given a complete course, learning
so many things that are valuable
in normal everyday life that the
instruction is worth having even
if the person never needs to use
his knowledge in an atomic attack.
Rauch added that more than 600
persons will soon be enrolled in
first aid classes. Instructors are
ready to teach these classes.

more volunteers, and | hope every
citizen will enroll in Civil Defense.

What's the Origin?

"A little bird told me-" we say
when passing on particularly
juicy bit of back-fence gossip. This
is an almost universal adage which
is based on the popular idea that
this ubiquitous little wanderer spies
out all strange and secret things
from a vantage point in the upper
air and reveals them to such as
can understand.
The Greek and Roman sooth-
sayers studied the flight of birds
and made their prophecies from the
knowledge thus revealed to them
And how was this knowledge at
tanned? There were various recipes
Pliny recommended q mixture OF
snakes and birds blood; Melampus
was a little more exciting: He
recommended that one have his
ears licked by dragons tongue
few of us, of course, have the op..
portunity of making the acquain-
tance Of dragon).
Nevertheless, the "art" of inter-
preting the habits of the feathered
ones was believed to have been ac-
quired by many. According to the
Koran, King Solomon was advised
by a lapwing of all the doings of
the Queen of Sheba, and Mahomet
himself was instructed by pigeon
which whispered in his ear in the
presence Of multitude.
Talking birds appear in the folk
lore of every country, and pro-
verbal illusions to the spying
habits of birds abound in literature.
"Davy Jones' locker" is a nautical
term for the depths of the ocean,
that is, the graves of those who
perish at sea. Davy Jones is the
sailors devil. The name is q cor

Price-Cutting
 Spreads To New Sections of Nation

NEW YORK, (P)-Price- cutting spread to new sectors of the na- tion's retail front, stimulating the public appetite for bargains.
 Shoppers swept into big New York department stores for the sixth day of the local price war, and grouped about harried sales clerks. But many items were sold out.
 Across the nation, sporadic out bursts of cutting of former "fair trade" fixed prices occurred.
 At Oklahoma City, where a drug chain had dropped prices on all electrical home appliances 25 per cent, Katz Drug. southwest chain, announced a three-day sale with the worlds lowest prices" :"
 At San Francisco, prices were reported leveling off at the re- duced tags put on yesterday, while suburban shops joined in dropping prices in hopes of keeping their customers from Hooking to city stores.
 Other cities that got into the fight included Omaha, Newark, N. J., and Baltimore, Md.

SMOKING LAMP LIT
 FOR MARINE PILOTS

WITH THE FIRST MARINE AIRCRAFT WING IN KOREA (P) To smoke or not to smoke has long been a question bothering Marine aviators, since their single seat fighter-bombers had no fla cilities for disposing of ashes.
 But now makers of the Corsair has solved the problem by install ing not only an ash tray but a cigarette lighter to help pilots soothe jaded nerves on the way home from a combat strike.
 The new cockpit fixture re- places the time-tested method of opening the canopy and allowing the slipstream to carry away the ashes. The freezing Korean wea- ther made this and other stop-gap measures highly impractical.

Unemployment In U. s. During May Smallest Since August, 1945

WASHINGTON, (P) - Unem- ployment dropped in May to 9,OO0-the smallest total since World War II ended in August, 1945.
 The census bureau reported that level was reached after a 137,000 decline in the number of jobless between April and May.
 The number of employed civil ians meanwhile jumped 1,148,000 in May to 6l,193,OOO, highest in six months.
 The upswing in job openings brought 1,014,0O0 additional per- sons into the labor force last month.
 The great majority of the new jobs-795, ,000-opened up in farm ing rather than defense activities, however, as the season of spring planting and cultivating work came on.

and that is steaming along at a pretty fair rate.
 Because the pre-war fleet with which Mussolini tried to make the Mediterranean once more Mare Nostrum," (Our Sea) has dwindled from sixth biggest navy in the world down to 36 ships.
 That includes everything down to the vest-picked-sized motor tor pedo boats with six-man crews. It also includes three clean-lined, former United States destroyer escorts just turned over to Italy under the arms aid program.
 But American naval observers here are not too discouraged over prospects for that pint-sized fleet, now a part of the Atlantic Pact force of western defense.

Units Praised

Praise for the Navy units at
Key West in the investigation of
the mid-air collision here last Ap-
ri 25 was contained in recent
letter from the Chairman Of the
Civil Aeronautics Board to the
Secretary of the Navy.
The letter from Donald w.
Nyrop, Chairman Of the Board
which hrs been forwarded to
Captain c. c. Adell, Commander
of the Key West Naval Base,
stated, During the Boards in
vestigation of the mid-air collision
involving Guiana DC-4 Gu TI88
and the Navy SNB 39939, at Key
West, Florida, April IS. 1851, the
Naval Units at Key West were
very cooperative and gave every
assistance to the Boards Investi-
gators
Captain c. C. AAell, Com
manding, Naval Base. Key West.
and Captain r. S. Quackenbush,
Jr, Commanding Naval Air Sta
tion, Key West, placed all the
facilities OF their respective COM
mands at the disposal of the
Boards Investigators. The Chief
of Naval Operations Washington,
assigned Captain O. p Smoot as
coordinator for his office and
Captain Smoot woeked closely
with the Boards Investigators.
Without such assistance the Board
would have been seriously handi-
capped in its investigation of this
most unfortunate occurrence.
Salvage operations, which i'm
Volved diving in the harbor and
ocean waters adjacent to Key
West, were conducted most effic-
iently by Naval personnel and it
was only through their efforts
that such a large percentage of
the wreckage was recovered. The
assignment Of Liaison Officers by
the Naval Units at Key West to
work with the Boards Investiga-
tors was of material assistance
throughout the investigation.
III would be appreciated il these
officers and the other personnel
participating could be recommend
cd for their cooperative spirit"
