Never Touch
Blasting Cap

Too many children get hurt dis
obeying that safety rule. Many chi J.
dren in all parts of our country are
injured for life by touching caps.
H. S. Weaver, chief Of the East
Cleveland Police Department, is
sponsoring locally the blasting cap
safety campaign in which the In
ternational Association of Chiefs
of Police is cooperating with the
Institute of Makers of Explosives
on a nationwide scale.
"The campaign is part of the
Institutes long-range program to
get children to heed the warning,
Never Touch a Blasting Cap'," he
declared, "When every child acts in
obedience to that warning, not a
single boy or girl will be blinded,
have a hand or foot blown off, or
be mutilated in a cap accident.
"Children or adults are warned
always to let alone any cap they
find and to report it Immediately
to the police department.
blasting caps are bright copper
or aluminium tubes, about as thick
around as a pencil, and an inch
and a half to five inches long. A
cap may or may not have fuse at
tached, or may have plain or
colored covered wires leading from
one end. The tube is loaded with a
powerful, sensitive explosive used
to explode dynamite.
Mining, highway and railroad
construction, clearing farm land of
tree stumps, swamps and rocks, and
other jobs just can't be done with
out caps.
"Often blasting caps are lost,
stolen, or left lying around. Chill
dren who pick them up are
in deadly danger.
"Blasters and all users can be
our best protectors by keeping all
explosives under lock and key so
cap never goes astray. The child
they save may be their own.

Hospitals Agree To
Blood Bank PoIiey

A uniform policy for replacing
blood given to hospital patients in
transfusions has been agreed upon
by the Cleveland Hospital Council.
Under the new plan for the first
pint used, two pints are to be given
by donors to the Red Cross Re-
gional Blood Bank. One pint re-
places each additional pint used.
Each person who donates a pint
Of blood to the blood bank will
receive a donors card, good for
year and transferable to any per-
son in need of a TRANSMISSION.
In the past, each of the areas
hospitals had it's own blood bank
and it's own standards for replace
ment of blood given patients for
transfusions.

The separate but equal" doctrine UNI
der which the courts have upheld segrega-

a brief submitted Monday to the United

BY Julius j, Adams

With a majority Of the important com
mittees of congress in control of southern
democrats, it is utterly impossible to pass
any Civil Rights legislation, as the record
of the past 20 years clearly shows.
We have right to expect the chief eN-
ecutive to provide leadership for legislation,
but he cannot achieve a successful legisla-
tive program unless he has a cooperative
congress. If he has an unsympathetc con-
gress and knows it, yet continues to make
promises he knows he cannot make good on
then he is hypocrte and is verify deceiv-
