Fire Department
Gets Collection
Of Hot" Sweaters

Fred Lange, chief of the East
Cleveland Fire Department is ask
ing all East Clevelanders who may
have in their possession any of the
so-called "torch sweaters" to turn
them in. Highly inflamable, the
sweaters are a safety hazard,
states the chief.
Up to Tuesday evening IL
sweaters, some of them sets of
pull-overs and coat models, had
been turned in voluntarily. All the
garments, the owners said, had
been purchased from peddlers.
While all the garments do not
carry Identification tags, those
having such tags are marked
Yorkshire Sportswear-for Better
Trade.
George Blum, pro- essor of
chemical engineering and plastics
at Case Institute of Technology has
warned that there is no known way
to flameproof the material used in
sweaters so far turned in. This
material, tests prove, is composed
of cellulose nitrate and cotton.
Cellulose nitrate is similar to gun
powder.

eve are cracking down on mo-

crosswalk, adds Chief Weaver.
With this warning, Chief Weav-
er has instructed all members of
the department to watch and safe
guard pedestrians. The increasing
number Of pedestrians who have
been injured within the past few

Warn Parents
In False Alarms

On Tuesday morning Miss Gene
We've Quinn, Welfare Director for
the City of East Cleveland filed
charges in Juvenile Court against
two nine-year old boys and their
parents. The charges grew out of
a false fire alarm turned in from
Hayden ave. on January 9th.
Miss Quinn explains that the
action is in line with the depart
ment policy, due to the unneces-
sary expense incurred when the
fire department answer a deliber-
ate false alarm. Parents are held
responsible for these acts of their
children.
Fines of from $100 to $500 and
costs depending on the facts in
each case, are fixed by city ordi-
nance for this misdemeanor.
A single run by the city's fire
department is estimated to cost
$500.
