automobile, is the scientific testing
of the student as certain phases of
instruction are reached in the
course.
In this picture Earl Driscoll,
assistant Safety Director of the
Cleveland Automobile Club is test
ing students in the Driver Educa-
tion class at Shaw High School.
Shown with Mr.. Driscoll, who is
second from the left, are: Joyce
Dunlap, Darlene Mapes, jeanne
Baker, Dick Knott, Carol Neylans,
Roy Meyenberg and Elizabeth Hun
sicker.
This special equipment tests the
students ability in the following
highly important factors to becom-
ing safe driver:
1. Visual Acuity. The students
ability to see in normal daylight.
2. Night vision. The students
ability to see at night.
8. Adaptation to glare.
A. Field of vision.
5. Brake reaction time.
6. Ability to judge distance.
7. Color blindness.
Where a physical disability is
found, points out Mr.. Driscol, a
compensating factor is suggested.
For instance, if student is slow
to react, he is advised to compen-
safe by driving more slowly. In
case where a driver is unable to
judge distances with reasonable
accuracy, he is advised to always
allow more distance than is needed
to compensate.
George Todd, instructor for the
Shaw Driver Education class says
other tests will be given from time
to time, each student being given
them as regular procedure along
with instruction.

Remember Colonel
On 85th Birthday

The day didn't look too promising
to Harry Watson, S5, patient in
Euclid-Glyenville Hospital. The last
of his family, and with most of his
close friends gone or too distant,
his S5th birthday would be just
another day.
But it wasn't. Neighbors from his
home at 1881 Stanwood I'd. remem-
bered. Nurses, when they heard
about the birthday, got busy. They
came for an afternoon party with
gifts and, best of all, a lovely
birthday cake.
Now as Col. Watson counts tax
stamps for crippled children's re-
Lief during his hospital hours, he
thinks back on his lovely birthday,
November 18th. Col. Watson served
in the Spanish American War and
World War /.

Rapid And Subway Proposals On
Community Council Discussion

Phelps Cunningham commented
on the gradual rise in possible costs
of the subway while holding that
distribution is needed for the traf-
fic which Rapid Transit will bring
into the terminal. He questioned
if 18th st. was far enough for the
subway to function. He commented
that public relations have been
weak and the commissioners un-
sure on the subject.
Local recreation came in for a
lively discussion. There was a
variance of opinion as to whether
recreation should be a joint pro-
gram by the city and schools, or
be the problem of one or the other.
In answer to question about the
subway actually taking cars off
the street, Mr.. Carran said re-
search figures give a "Yes" an
swer to the question.
Support of the county welfare
levy was urged by Mr.. Carran.
Speaking their allotted five min
utes were the following candidates:
For Board of Education, 2 to
elect: Incumbents George Nelson
and Mrs. Miriam Morgan; Mrs.
Harriet B. Baldau.

The East Cleveland Community
Council got off to a good start for
another season by hearing local
candidates and discussing state and
county issues, and the proposed
subway for Greater Cleveland.
East Cleveland will receive the
greatest benefit from the Rapid and
the subway, in the opinion Of City
Manager Charles A. Carran. Mr..
Carran explained that to distribute
the rapid traffic, four other sta
tions are planned clockwise east
and counter-clcckwise, west, from
the terminal. The transportation
cost. he said, is relatively low
due to the early investment OF the
VanSweringens. He added that the
county commissioners will wait for
the engineers recommendation be-
fore taking action on the subway.

Endorses Ohio
Board Plan

The East Cleveland Board of
Education at its meeting Monday
night passed resolution favoring
the proposal to set up a state
board of education in Ohio. The
proposal will come before the Ohio
electors at the November election.
Ohio is one of four states which
do not have state board of educa-
tion. 1t has a director of educa-
ton, appointed by the governor and
all schools come under his jurisdic-
tion, explained DR.. o. j. Korb,
superintendent of schools who pre-
sented the resolution.
DR.. Korb said that no procedure
for such a board had been de-
termined as yet, and the legis-
lature would have to decide how

ber of members and the length of
terms, etc.
Adding spice to the routine
agenda before the board was the
presence of representatives from
all but one of the city's PTA units.
They informed the board they were
present to take back to their
respective units the information
gained, and to serve as a laison
between the board and the units.
President George Nelson, speak
ing for the board, bid the guests
welcome and invited them to at
tend all meetings.
When asked about a report from
the recent PTA convention, the
board was told That he cal was
for more teachers. The convention
also endorsed Amendment No 2.

wrote their objection to the placing
of backstop in the Shaw Gym

Mrs. G. Frank Herrick, 1843 Stan
wood.
The board granted to the Gale
donia Branch Library the use of
the Caledonia School parking lot
should it be needed for meetings
which might be held in the pro-
posed addition to the library Cleve-
land Heights requires the parking
permit along with its building and
zoning requirements for the addi-
tion. The library plans adding a
Children's room to the branch.
DR.. Korb reported that 16 of the
% teachers new to the system this
year are beginning their teaching
career here.
