March 9th
Red Cross
Day Here

Richmond Rice, President of the
city commission has proclaimed
Thursday, March 9Th as Red Cross
Day in East Cleveland.
On this day dozens of volun-
teers will call on the 1900 family
units which make up this residen-
tial division, soliciting funds for
the annual Red Cross Fund Drive.
The city's goal is S13,426 Of the
Greater Cleveland goal of $1,327,-
$50.
Mrs. E. E. Lehman, chairman
Of the 1852 Red Cross fund cam
paign is sending out a plea for
East Cleveland residents to volun-
teer as campaign workers.
Instead of the usual two and
a-half weeks campaign, East
Cleveland is concentrating its
drive in this one day, says Mrs.
Lehman, who adds that the
method will require the help of
many people.
"One hour of work during the
day, or one hour from 700 to 800
o'clock in the evening is little to
ask Of each worker, but this will
be sufficient if the number of
workers is large enough" states
Mrs. Lehmann.
All volunteers are urged to call
one of the five Area Chairman if
they are ready to join the Red
Cross army of fund workers on
Tuesday, March 9Th. The area
chairmen are:
Area No. Mrs. Stanton Ad-
dams, 1890 Superior rd., Ii.
1-7248.
Area No. 2-Mrs. H. C. Jacob,
2O4 Brunswick rd., GIL. 1-8748.
Area No. 3-Mrs. P. c. Peters,
1903 Bender ave-, GIL. 1859.
Area No. A - Mrs. Howard
Vaughn, 14311 Alder ave-, Gil.
1-2869.
"The lives Of our boys which
are being saved by the blood bank,
as we'll as the unfortunate people
who are the victims of disaster,
depend on the support of the Red
Cross. Let's all put our shoulders
| to the wheel and work together to
make this one day drive a sucs ess.

been done by the men of the con-
gregation under general direction
of the Board of Trustees, Charles
A. Myer chairman, and more
specifically the Mems Club. Guild
ing the entire planning and actual
work has been specifically, the
Mems Club, Maurice Elberson,
president. Guiding the plans and

men have put in many night hours
in completing their work which
has added new beauty to the
church.

renovation team will be seated as
group for recognition in the
service, and recognition will be
given also to the Women's Associ-
alton who pledged generously to
the Building Improvement Fund.

ssysl iaterestipa uabservatisl Is
made by Chief Weaver relative to
traffic accidents. He points out
that in determining the age of per-
sons causing accidents, it is found
that persons under 25 years of age
were responsible for 282 accidents,
and persons over 25 were the cause
of 822 accidents. Drivers under the
influence of liquor caused AZ acci-
dents. Day accidents in 1851 de-
creased .06%o and night accidents
increased 11R in the year.
Offenses in 1851 were 618 COM
pared to 400 in 1850, following
what Chief Weaver calls "gen-
eral trend" throughout the country.
Under the classification of Ju-
venile cases, 243 were listed, IL
Juveniles were charged with felon-
les, and 303 persons were Golden
Ruled.
Property thefts amounted to
$13, APO, property recovered was
estimated at $15,970. All property
either lost or recovered is not
necessarily owned by local resi-
dents.
Offenses include 295 cases Of
petty larceny, SO bicycles stolen
compared to 80 in 1850; % cars
stolen, and 80 cases of assault and
battery over 19 the year previous.
In other instances each offense
lists from one to three, as an
average.
In addition, the police depart
ment received 10,630 complaints,
recorded 11,150 radio calls, made
1853 emergency ambulance runs,
conveyed 129 persons to hospitals
in cruisers, exclusive of persons
taken to hospitals as result of
motor vehicle accident, or being
injured in falls, etc. on the streets.
Matrons worked a total of 139
hours attending 1T women pris-
oners. The number of male prison"
ers confined in the city Jail dur
ing the year was 1,241. Meals
served to prisoners were 1854.

Various are the services of the
American Red Cross from their
more dramatic disaster relief, in
flood areas and home fires, for
instance; to the quieter almost "be-
hind the scene" sewing units scat
tered the country over. Meeting
mostly in churches and schools and
club houses, are the faithful women
who give day a week out of their
busy lives to sew for Red Cross.
The items which these volunteers
turn out in a year run into the
thousands. There is clothing for
patients in veteran hospitals; there
are the triangles for First Aid, and
many items used in the care of pa
tients; and the seasonable Christ
mas bags for the boys who are
hospitalized; every stitch making
closer the bond between Red Cross
and the grateful recipients.
East Cleveland has five too-little
known sewing units and one sur
gical dressings unit. Serving are
volunteers at Windermere Metho-
dist East Glenville Methodist, St.
Pauls Episcopal Churches, Gale
donia School and East Cleveland
Woman's Club. Prospect claims the
one surgical dressings group.
It's been Home Work for several
Caledonia volunteers during the
school remodeling, but they hope to
be together again at the school
house soon.
Mrs. James McKie, Branch
chairman and who has headed the
sewing division for many years, re-
ports a total of 4,080 items turned
out since May 1st. The Red Cross
fiscal year operates from May
1st to May 1st. She looks for a
good final figure again.
The majority of East Cleveland
volunteers still active have been
sewing since the World War II
rush days of 1912, giving that day
every week in the service of "The
Greatest Mother on Earth" the
Red Cross. Every unit could use
more sewers and new units can be
started wherever a group of women
would like to get together Mrs.
McKie reminds.

Remember: Cd
Piek-Up This
Next Saturday

Everyone is being asked to get
rid of all old ond unused belong
ings they may have stored away
somewhere on their premises. II
these things have any value, call
your favorite Charity and they
will come and pick them up, if of
no value, put them out with your
regular burnable and nonburnable
rubbish and the City will pick
them up at the regular pickup
days in your neighborhood.
"We all know that a home
cleared of highly combustible
items is much less vulnerable to
fire, in case of an atomic attack,
than one that has a large storage
of these things on hand" states
Fred w. Lange, Chief of East
Cleveland's Fire Department.
"a hint to everyone is to have
some sort of fire extinguisher
handy on the premises. The one
probably most useful for ordinary
fires would be a pump type water
extinguisher. If you want one for
kitchen fires such as grease and
oils or for gasoline fires around
the car, the right type would be
Carbon Dioxide. You can get def
mite information as to the kind
you should have for your needs by
calling your fire department"
"Your Fire Department wants
everyone safe from fire. To do this
they need your cooperation in this
Clean-out program on Civil De-
tense Day."

Another step forward in bring
ing better public transportation to
Greater Cleveland was taken Mon
day, February 4th when the first
dirt was turned for the actual con-
struction of the years long awaited
Rapid Transit line. History was
made in Windermere Station of
the Cleveland Transit System
when Thomas A. Burke, mayor of
Cleveland broke the ground, with
City Manager Chas. A. Carran
also having a hand in the event
which will have a direct impact on
the future of East Cleveland.
Soon thereafter, Horvitz Co.,
contractors, went to work with far
more adequate equipment, sending
dirt flying as they began work on
the construction of six bridges,
necessary for the East side line
of the system to extend from Doan
ave., through the Terminal, out to
West 117th st. at Lorain ave. This
bridge contract costs $437, $50.
Dirt began to fly just six months
after the RFC granted the $29,.
100000 loan needed for this trans.
portation project for Gre&tel
Cleveland, said EiiiiarG G. Reed
chairman of the Cleveland Transit
Board at the ground breaking.
"If we had waited until then to
start work on the detailed engi-
neers' drawings and specifications,
we wouldn't be coming around here
with our gold shovel until next
year about this time.
"But we didn't wait. We gambled
that the loan would go through.
We authorized De Leuw, Gather &
Co., in August, 1850 to proceed
with Rapid Transit engineering
work to the extent of $25, 900 a
month. 1t was because of this gam
BILE that we can now point to sub
stantial progress achieved to date.

THE GAME. We have already

Exclusive Of parking tickets
1916 arrests were recorded by the
East Cleveland Police Department
in 1851. Of these s,676 cases, 2,s3s
involved eitherall autopsnAsile
truck or motorcycle.
The previous year the depart
ment made 3,104 arrests, the diff
ference being due to stricter traffic
enforcement, and an increase in
juvenile cases.
Parking violations totaled 1851,
Parking waivers paid added up to
$15,97O. This figure far exceeds
the 1851 collected from this
source in 1851 due to several fac
tors, H. S. Weaver, head of the
department explains. Chief of the
causes were the installation of
parking meters, an added $1.00
penalty on delayed payments of
parking tickets, and a new sys-
tenn ofofollow-up in violations.
This year Ohio police department
get hand in checking traffic vio-
lations, due to the issuing of stick
ers, instead of new license plates.
During this usual lag period when
the licenses are being changed on
cars, police have been handicapped
in prompt location of car owners
whose new licenses differed from
their previous one. Now, with the
same numbers effective, the usual
close watch on traffic violations
can be checked at once.
The 1876 overweight trucks which
were found travelling East Cleve-
land streets during 1851 added ma
terially to the departments col
lection of fines and costs which
reached the high of $77,819.70 COM
pared to the $51 ,432.10 paid in
in 1850. Just how much the truck
fines amounted to is not indicated
in the annual report filed with
City Manager, Chas.. A. Carran.
In a breakdown of traffic viola
tions the following larger number
of violations are noted: Careless
driving, 1O9; driving while intoxi-
Gated, SO; crashing red lights, 487;
failure to make boulevard stop,
