Traffic Count
Tube Damaged
By Vandalism

While the city was making a
traffic check on Emily ave-, using
it's new automatic equipment, some
one cut the street to result in ir-
regularity in the count.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver, in
reporting the unexpected incident,
says he hopes there will be no fur
ther acts of vandalism in connec-
tion with the traffic study now
underway. He asks that any person
seeing anyone tampering with this
equipment, please notify the police
department at once. Just call MU.
1-5020.
Because the city is determining
it's safety regulations on the result
of this count, it is important that
the count be accurate, declares
Weaver.
The automatic equipment does
not require the detail of police of
ficers or cruisers for the period of
the registration. AS each automo-
bile rolls over the tube it registers.
The tube is not the same type
tube now being used in many
suburbs to clock speeds.

George Dickerman who was born
in England in 1876 would have been
surprised to know that in Cleve-
land, Ohio, on August II, the same
date his son Thomas landed in New
England in 1888, reunion of his
descendants was held at Euclid
Beach Park.
Similar reunions are hel d
throughout the country and it is
hoped that in 1854 representatives
from 35 states will attend the Ma
tional Dickerman Reunion. In the
United Church in New Haven,
Conn, the date will be the 200th
anniversary of communion cup
gift to the church by Isaac Dicker-
man, the cup still being in use.
New Haven is also the site of the
Jonathan Dickerman home which
was built in ITO and is being pre-
served by the Harnden Historical
Society in Sleeping Giant State
Park.
After the business meeting the
group reassembled at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter W. Moizuk Of

Police Fire.
Court Big
Business

Just submitted to the members of
the City Commission is the usual
six months Police, Fire, and NUM-
cipal Court department reports
from the office of City Manager
Charles A. Carran. The figures
show just how busy these depart
ments can be.
The Fire Department answered
256 runs against Ill in the same
period in 1851. Of these 256 runs,
55 covered building fires, 80 grass,
rubbish, etc. fires, and Is burning
automobiles. In 1851 there were SO
building fires, and 16 each in the
other classification.
Starting a new reporting system,
Chief Fred Lange is listing all runs
made by the department, whether
the fire apparatus, the panel truck
or just sedan responds. The res
cue or emergency runs, added up
to 131 runs. There were four false
alarms, costing the city an aver
age Of $3.50 each.
There were 19 unnecessary runs.
Commenting on this number, Chief
Lange explains that when fire
breaks out it is wiser to immedi-
ately sound an alarm than attempt
to control the blaze only to have
it get out-of-hand and then lose
precious moments while the depart
ment responds. 1t is far better,
says Lange, to list a run as "un-
necessary" than as "fire".. Fire
losses up to July 1st cost East
Clevelanders $11,175.
"Bonds" forfeited took leap in
Municipal Court records for Janu-
AIRY through June with 225 cases.
There were 129 in the 1851 cor
responding months. A notation on
the report is to the effect that the
jump is due to the many truckers
and plain intoxications preferring
to lose the deposited bond rather
than appear for hearing.
In 1865 Municipal. Court cases
fines and costs were paid and 200
cases were discharged or fine sus-
pended.
Parking waivers receipts were
$9,6O3 against $8,261 in 1861.
Traffic is Big Business in every
police department and continues to
grow in Importance as concern for
the safety and well-being of COM
munity grows. East Cleveland had
522 accidents the first six months,
35 less than in the same period in
1851. Injured were 108 persons (131
in 1851. Five cars were stolen
against Is in 1851, first six months.
The total number of arrests, includ-
ing traffic parking tickets not in
cluded) were 2,125. This means 370
more than January to July 1851.
On other police blotter categories
there were 165 misdemenors
(2T6), 68 felonies (47) and property
stolen $5,997 ($6,352).

Club To Honor
Founder And
First President

The Daughters of Columbus will
honor their founder and first pres
ident, Carmela Cafarelli at a
luncheon Tuesday, August 26th at
Hotel Statler.
Begun as welfare group during
the depression years when it sup
piled 60 school children with shoes
as its first venture, the club has
extended its aid to local and ma
tional calls. 1t has also become the
leader in the development and pro-
motion of Italian musical culture
in Cleveland, an achievement it
credits to the untiring efforts of
it's founder.
1t is fitting that a musicale
should follow the luncheon and ar
ranged by Mrs. John Polito, Mrs.
M. A. DeOrio and Mrs. Joseph De-
Orio will be a program by Frances
Centa, soprano, and Jean-Pierre
Barricelli, pianist. .
Miss Cafarelli made her first
appearance before a Cleveland aud
ience as harpist at the age of Az
years, having studied under the
guidance of her father, Rocco Gui-
seppi Cafarelli, the city's first
harpist. Since then music has been
her career.
1t was while harpist with the
Cleveland Orchestra that she audi
toned for Arturo Toscanini whose
letter to Enrico Bossi, director of
the St. Cecilia Conservatory in
Rome led her to Italy.
Believing that many people en-
joy opera in their own tongue,
Miss Cafarelli formed the opera
group under her name whose an
nual September productions now
signal the opening the city's un-
surpassed musical season. Pro-
ceeds go to worthy students.
This September's production
will be Gounod's Faust. The date is
the 21st and, as usual, at Masonic
Auditorium.

neer finish has been planned will
two floors, each one of whicl
may be entered at ground level
The seating capacity is 500.
In designing the building, tht
architects Wefel and Wefel have
included several ideas new tc
church planning. Hope Lutheran

in the city to have built=in radio
and television loop. 1t has a
Mothers Room, a sound proof
double glass partitioned room To-
Gated over the narthex where par
ents of small children may join
in the service through the aid of
loud speakers.
The sanctuary is deep with a
deep chancel for choir and organ.
The interior is finished in white
oak. The delicately tinted windows
carry the symbols of the church.
Aisles and altar are carpeted in
deep green and the remainder of
the wide expanse of floor is as
phalt tiled.
Beneath the sanctuary is the
parish hall, opening out onto
Northvale blvd. The stage of the
hall has a sliding panel to close
it off for Primary and Pre-school
children quarters. On the opposite
end of the hall is a last-word
kitchen.
Hope Church was organized in
1909. It's first pastor was DR.. A.
M. Wagnar who served the con-
gregation until 1916. In February
of that year Rev. o. G. Grotefend,
the present pastor was installed
as pastor. Rev. Grotefend had just
returned home after five years
service as a colonel in the United
States Chaplain Corps.
Serving with Rev. Grotefend in
the building of the new church
are A. A. Weidner, chairman;
Walter H. Sutter, president of
the congregation; Lloyd Fisher,
Charles Trump, and Gordon Weld
ner, secretary.
The former church home on
Ashbury I'd. is now a Lutheran
Mission to be known as Fellow
ship Lutheran Church. It's pastor
is the Rev. Zigmond George.
