"a TOWN
CHRISTMAS

Well, another year has roll
ed around and with it this
fine season. Suppose some of
you saw Ernest Truck on tee
wee Sunday evening in play
called, "Mr. Quimby's Christ
mas Hats" Fine performance
and appropos for this time of
year.
Each Christmas we are re-
minded of little fellow we
knew who went to see Santa
Claus at a large department
store in a big city. The set-up
for the children's interviews
with old SANITY" was on a
grand scale-microphone and
everything. When our little
man was asked what he want
ed for Christmas, he replied IN
a loud voice, Holy Mackerel,
Sanity, didn't you get my let
ter?"
DISTANCE
A member of the local
Mission Bell Mob" says that
the distance from where he
lives to where he goes is
longer when he comes back
says that he walks straighter
going than coming! Welll--
could be!
TRAVEL
Friend of ours says-that on
a trip to Florida-he stopped
at an old broken-down filling
station somewhere in Georgia
as he was almost out OF gas.
Said he had to honk the horn
several times before the old
fellow asleep in a chair
awakened. After filling the
tank to the brim, the old gee
zer got his money and went
back to his chair. Our friend
yelled at him. "Say." he said,
my windshield is covered
with bugs!"
The old geezer opened one
eve and said, ''Derned If it
ain'tr-and promptly went
back to sleep!
PATIENCE
Patience is something which
when you idle your motor,
you feel like stripping your
gears!

If you have new car and
1t has hundreds of small paint
scratches on the doors, you
merely don't take the time and
effort to park next to cars
which are also new.
"lET US ALONE"
A salute to the new Let Us

We don't want no pensions.
We don't want no minimum

We don't want no govt

We don't want no subsidies.
We don't want no benefits.
We don't want nobody tell

We don't want no socialized

We just want to be left
alone to make our own way
as best we can.

Good Tickets
Available For
Friday Game

After the class they displayed
at Shaw Stadium last Friday night,
every Cardinal fan will want to
be on deck for the Collinwood visit
here Friday Night.

minds that tickets in Sections 8

Both the Kiwanians and Rotar-
ians will be out enmass for this
game, each of the service clubs
having taken a block of seats.
While the Rotarians, which count
their members from Collinwood
territory as we'll as from East
Cleveland, may be divided in their
allegiance, there is no doubt as
to which side the Kiwanians are on.
Many favorable comments have
been heard relative to the new
uniforms of the Shaw cheer lead
ers, the smart jumper style sports
outfits adding snap to the already
colorful picture which the game
always imparts to Shaw Stadium.
Any mention of Shaw Hi foot
ball game would be incomplete
without note from the music de-
partment. Bob Fraser and his
Cardinal tooters, not to mention
the lovelies who make up that
majorette line, certainly add to the
evening.
For a package Of good sports
manship, intricate band forma-
tions, cheering fans and a general
good time, you just can't beat a
Shaw night at the stadium. To get
the full benefit be on time to
watch Old Glory as she is lovingly
lifted to the evening stars, while
the fans stand at attention and
the bands play the stirring "Star
Spangled Banner. It's something
to bring a thrill to every American.

Jaywa|ker

One of the biggest obstacles in
the traffic safety campaign is the
persistant jay walker-the pedes-
trian who fails to cross the street
at the regular crosswalk or with
the light.
To bring home to these pedes-
trians that they are inviting injury
or even death, when they jay walk
the Cuyahoga County Police Chiefs
Association and the Mayors Safety
Committee are launching a two
months safety program.
The campaign is timed for now,
just before the fall and winter
season when days grow shorter,
and when rains and frosts, snow
and ice make walking more haz-
ardous. The groups are out to pro-
tect the pedestrian whose accident
record is on the increase.
East Cleveland has had one pc
destrian fatality so far this year.
East Cleveland's Police Chief,
H. S. Weaver announced Tuesday
that East Cleveland's Police De-
partment is in on this campaign.
He urges every walker to learn
and observe the rules of this pc
destrian safety crusade.
Five simple rules for pedestrians
have been set up by Robert J.
Bucklin, jr., police chief of Uni
versity Heights and president of
the Cuyahoga County Police Chiefs
Association, together with Cleve-
land Police Chief Frank W. Story,
campaign chairman. Particular en-
phasis is placed on suburban areas
where folks are apt to be more
careless than in the heart of the
city.
The rules are:
OBEY STOP lights, traffic po-
licemen and pedestrian barriers.
DON'T WALK into the street
from between parked cars.
BE CAREFUL in getting off
streetcars and buses.
WEAR SOMETHING WHITE
when walking at night.
Slogan for the campaign is,
"A car can kill you. Stop, Look,
Live" It is being featured on-plac-
ards on transit vehicles, street
poles and billboards throughout
the county.
