W. H. Mynderse was the first
president. He was followed by Al.
Lamb, who was succeeded by
William H. Zeihm. DR.. Tay was
the next president. These four
presidents together with Harry
Van Gorder, who. served as secre-
tary during their four terms, were
primarily responsible for the form
alton of an East Cleveland Ex-
change Club.
The president in 1882, following
DR.. Tay, was Hoyt S. Scott who
remained active until the past year
when his employment made it
necessary for him to become in
active.
1t is interesting to note that the
presidents for the following three
years, namely DR.. Roy C. Gygli

Find Faulty
Wiring Al
Fire Hazard

Rounding out it's final third
period in three-year program Of
checking the city's 5000 homes for
fire hazards, the 1853 visitation
just completed covered 1893 homes,
reports Fred w. Lange, chief Of
the East Cleveland Fire Depart
ment. This particular inspection
covered the period from Septem-
Der 28th through October 18th.
The cycle has revealed 233
violations. While each home Is
visited normally but once during
the three-year period homes found
to be in violation are checked each
year to assure that the hazards
are not creeping back" said
Lange.
During the three year period
only 21 homes have refused admit
tance to the city firemen making
the inspections.
Once again faulty wiring tops
the list of home fire hazards, sec
ond is rubbish, and third, is bad
flues.
Referring to faulty wiring, Chief
Lange holds it is largely due TO
the increasing number of electrical
appliances and electrical devices
being added to homes.
"Too many folks think they are
good enough electricians to install
the needed wiring that new piece
of equipment needs" says Lange,
"and fail to realize they may be
adding a fire hazard to their homes
when a wire is dropped through a
partition, added to an already
heavily loaded socket, or an i'm
proper type of wiring is used"
During Fire Prevention Week
itself, attention is centered on
commercial and industrial build
ings. Here rubbish is No. / viol-
ator. This year the city inspected
400 such occupancies and found 81
violations, less than 1910, a good
record, according to fire statistics.
One reason business and in
dustrial places are apt to have
fewer fire hazards is the quarterly
inspection made of them by the
department. These every-three-
months calls also includes check
up of Easements, lockers, laundries
and incinerators in apartments.
Next year the inspection starts
all over again with the homes
visited in 1850.

Wrong Answer

Bernard Margolius has come up with an
eaSy-but erroneous-answer to- the question
of what caused the outburst of Juvenile gang
sterism at Paul Junior High School.
Addressing a meeting of worried parents
ana teachers, Mr.. Margolius said: This is
terrorism at its best-Naziism in the Nations
Capital This goes all the way back to the
Capitol dome. 1t goes back to no Fairgrounds,
no recreation no library, inadequate school
facilities in this area. That's our problem"
At best, this is only part of the problem.
For the fact is that there has been a great
expansion in recent decades in such things
as Fairgrounds, recreation, libraries and school
facilities 1t is also fact that this expansion
has been accompanied. not by a decrease, but
by dismaying increase in juvenile delinquency
of all types generation or two ago there
were no recreation facilities in the modern
sense of the term. And the kind of juvenile
gang viciousness that has cropped out at Paul
Junior High likewise was almost unknown.
No, it is not enough to point the finger
of blame at the Capitol 1t would be more
accurate to say that the undermining of juve-
nile standards of conduct began in the home,
and that the reform also will have to start there.

This and That

Nothing could be more untrue than
the statement sometimes heard that
feeding the birds in the home garden
causes rats in a neighborhood.
Those who have never purchased
''wildbird feed" Sunf1ower seed, raisins,
chicken scratch feed or baby chick
feed, may be forgiven for not realizing
that no food is left around overnight.
Food for the birds costs too much,
that is all.
At rates between Is and IS cents a.
pound, no one can afford to feed rats,
and no one does.
So the argument falls fiat on its face.
1t is not bird feeding. but unsanitary
conditions, including open garbage pals
and woodpileS, that bring the rats.
The person who has not fed birds,
who has never spent cent on them.
will not realize that few persons feed
them consistently. either.
1t is only a myth that food lies scat
tered around for rats to eat.
Not only does such food cost too
much to waste in such a manner, but
the truth also is that few bird lovers
feed consistently.
We pass four bird-feeding stations
daily, in a distance of two blocks. and
here is the count:
One has food in it. in the daytime.
Three haven't had bite of food in
them in two years!

Changes the Subject

For the nonce, let's forget about
pompouS past Presidents, and talk about
my new automatic washing machine.
My, how wonderful! We have come
long way in this wonderful country
of ours, even since the days when I
was youngster on Virginia farm.
We used to approach washdays with
grim determination.
Under the stairway there was
closet into which we tossed all and
sundry of soiled linens Out they
would come, into huge bundle, and
we would trot off down the hill to
the lower floor of our three-story mill.
There was our laundry room. Up
from the creek came gallons of water,
by hand; into the huge old iron pot,
built into a flue. A fire had to be
made; water had to be heated. dad
had made that old iron pot in his
foundryD One big wooden tub was
for scrubbing; one for rinsing; more
water to be brought from the creek.
BY and by clothes would be scrubbed,
boiled and rinsed. And then, up the
hill to the fence all covered with
honeysuckle. There we spread them
shrubs, bushes, etc. Washday was an
impressive Scene-and hard one.
But today-ah me! Sunday morning
I tossed the overalls of my 10-year--
old son into the machine while we
prepared for Sunday school and church.
The work was all done. Then they
were hung on rack by the machine.

Monday morning my lad will be sure
to have fresh, clean pants for school,

Such a country as we live in! Let's
don't lose our perspective over trit1es.
but let's be serious about the things
that are serious and save this great
land of ours. Our forefathers Wllleo

such bonus" might be the donation of

Meanwhile the farmer, knowing what
he was faced with, would be free to
continue or reduce production, without
any controls, for sale at free market

judgment dictated. One result of such

needed dairy products. and decrease
of surplus grain and cotton. Some
farmers would go out of business, and

Bradford c. de Wolf.

Bird feeding, like so many other
human endeavors, is honored more in
the breach than in the doing, as Shake
speare said.
Just as every one praises God so
most persons seem to agree that feed
ing the birds, especially in winter. is
good thing.
A famous general at his hotel WIN
dow, the housewife in her kitchen, the
doctor between calls, the child behind
the curtains
All these, and the busy businessman.
like to watch the birds. Then, from
watching, the desire grows to help by
feeding.
Many begin to feed. but not so many
keep on at it.
The dry birdbath is another example.
Most persons purchasing homes have
installed baths for 1.-The feathered
friends" but normally they permit
them to go for weeks. months. without
water in them, after the novelty
wears off.
And water costs nothing.
How much less likely, then, that
they keep the hoppers of feeding sta
tions full, so that wandering rats may
have their fill! Hokum.
It is too bad to puncture such silly
story, but the next time some one tells
you that feeding the birds will bring
rats, look him in the eye and say,
pleasantly, Nonsense"
