land voters elected George N. Mel
son to membership on the Board
of Education. On Monday evening
co-members of the board unanu-
mously elected him to serve as
president, this being the third time
the honor has been conferred upon
him.
One of the best known business
men in the city, Mr.. Nelson brings
to his volunteer service as mem
ber of the towns school board
the same careful judgment that
has kept him in the jewelry busi.
ness for the past 80 years.
Mrs.l Massem Morgan, who IA.
been the president, was elected
vice president. Mrs. Morgan was
elected to the board at the same
time as was Mr.. Nelson.

February meeting.
Mr.. Nelson is member of East
Cleveland Kiwanis Club, the East
Cleveland Business Association and
the American Legion.
The resignation of Norma Horn
er Wagner, a special teacher at

DR.. o. ]. Korb, superintendent
of schools, reported that by the
February meeting he expected to
have ready a statement on the

lie School are eeAolng one another
as they learn that fluffy, their
beloved patrolman at the Noble
Euclid crossing, has resigned, after
q years as member of the East
Cleveland Police Department.
For the past 18 years Patrol
man Russell o. Huff has been de-
tailed to direct traffic at this sec
ond busiest corner in town. During
these years he has come to know
hundreds of children by name, even
as he knows some of their parents
who also as pupils waited for his
signal to cross at this corner. Also
he is known to the hundreds of
motorists and pedestrians who
have come to depend on him for
safe passage through this maize
of traffic.
my biggest pleasure in this as
signment" states Officer Huff"
has been the children, and my big
gest satisfaction is that not one
of them has been injured in traf-
fic while l have been on duty"
Officer Huff paid tribute to
Sister Roberts at Christ the King
School for her every cooperation
in teaching safety to the children.
AS for his 27 years as a police
officer, which he concludes Janu-
ary 10Th, Patrolman Huff says it
has always been a pleasure to work
for the East Cleveland Poglice De-
partment and the citizens of East
Cleveland. "City Manager Chas. A..
Carran and my superior officers
have always been considerate and
helpful" he states. while I'll miss
them, I'm going to miss the chill
dren the most"
AS every traffic officer near a
school soon learns, Officer Huff has
often proved the emergency banker
when Mary or Joe needed a nickel
in a hurry. He somehow always
seemed to have one handy.
"How do the accounts usually
stand ?" he was asked. 81 never lost
a cent on them" was the quick re-
ply. "Always they came hurrying
back on the next trip, all eager,
having the money ready"
On the same day that Officer
Huff turns in Badge No. II to
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver, he
will wear another badge as a men,
ber of the safety department at
General Electric's Nela Park. He
and Mrs. Huff live adjoining the
park at 1924 Greyton rd.
