Tonight's the night!
Tonight an estimated 800 East
Cleveland Mothers will form the
city's annual March of Mothers.
Street by street they will stop at
the sign of the lighted porchlight
to accept that family's gift to the
March of Dimes.
East Cleveland has no goal. It
had none last year but it topped
the suburbs. After its worst polio
epidemic in history this past sum-
mer, the need tonight is even
greater than it was a year ago.
Remember, the only place you
will be asked for polio funds in
this drive is in your own home" "
reminds Chairman Stanton AIDA
reminds Chairman Stanton
Adams. No school, office, store,
industry drives are to be con-
Quoted. To give, you give from
your home".
Many men will start volunteer
patrolling at TOO, to safeguard
the women as they go into every
corner Of the city following the
beam of porchlights.
1t is requested that if such vol
unteers are driving, they leave
their dome lights on as a signal
to the volunteer that a friend is
near.

Pedestrian

Lars Forsberg, So, of 1860 East

together, decide the hour, every
body abide by it and make every
one happy.
Delinquency, it was pointed out,
is not confined to children. 1t is as
often a case of delinquent parents
who are not sufficiently inter-
ested in their child's we'll being and
interests. Parents, they said, should
know where their children are 60
ing, with whom, the event, and
about what time they will be home.
Financial conditions do not always
enter into the picture, since a de-
linquent can come from a home
minus financial problems.
One panelist brought out the
harm done by parent who is lax
in observing the law. This, it was
stated could we'll influence a child
to try and "get by; to be lax in
his respect to the law.
Today's youth faces a far more
uncertain future, which may some
times result in his having a $50
what?" attitude which can we'll
lead to difficulty.
What about the family car?
Well, the boy should have it at
least on Saturday nights. On the
question of driving, it was stated
that every youth should be prop
erly trained to drive, should be
taught his responsibility behind the
wheel. Here again, it was COM
mented that the few careless driv-
ers spoil it for the many careful
drivers, even as the delinquents
overshadow the many times more
youth endeavoring to live accept
ably.

Fire Alarms
Up Here In
Past Year

Smoking and matches continue
to be the chief cause of fires in
East Cleveland, according to the
annual report of the East Cleve-
land Fire Department released by
Chief Fred w. Lange.
Of the 231 fire alarms during
the year, 40 were directly attri-
buted to carelessness while smok-
ing or carelessness with matches.
The 231 fire alarms of the 554
calls responded to by the depart
ment, were over the 161 calls in
1861. The past years losses due
to fires, were $18,560 compared
to the record low in 1851 when
the amazing figure of 1920
covered this item. The percapita
in 1851 was 46 cents while the
1851 reached a new low of but
eight cents.
The second cause of fires was
defective wiring, there being 25
of this classification reported.
There were 18 "stoves and fur
mace" fires.
Chief Lange points to the re-
duction in manpower as the pri-
mary cause of this in the number
of building inspections made this
past year. They totaled 3,247 COM
pared to 4337 in 1851. However,
continued inspection of all public
buildings continues as is the Gus
tom. Any reduction in inspections
will be in the dwelling count. Any
person desiring a check of his
home may call the fire department
and it will be arranged.
The following are a few other
interesting figures from the 1852
report, the corresponding 1851
figures being offered for compari-
son. However, it must always be
remembered, points out the chief,
that it is wise to call the fire
department at once. Better a small
fire extinguished than a small
fire becoming big one because of
a delayed call.

"Experiments over the past two
years have shown that gamma glo-
bulin, a blood derivative, is effec-
tive in the alleviation of paralysis

Youth Pane Asks Closer Family Unit:
Suggest "One Tim" Date Dead|ine

What is the attitude of youth to
the family?
This question was answered
and somewhat surprisingly at
times-by a panel of high school
students at the January meeting
of Shaw PTA.
Taking part in the panel were
Connie Siortino, Bill Whitacre,
Donna Renton, Bob Coates, Bob
Cathcart and Sally Reynolds. H. C.
Hochwald was the moderator.
Here are a few of the sugges-
tions and opinions introduced by
the individual members, or con-
cluded by the panel as such:
Young people should have a part
in family decisions and discussions,
face family imperfections and try
to improve them. Should be cour-
teous, considerate and cooperative.
The family should be a unit, work
ing together.
Television has too prominent a
place in most homes. 1t is crowd
ing out those quiet after-dinner
hours when families used to sit
around and visit, talk over events
of the day and discuss problems.
When it comes to DATING, cal
ways be yourself, never put on an
act," runs the warning, being a
good conversationalist and watch
ing ones manners, were empha-
sized.
On this subject, as we'll as on
other subjects, the question arose
as to the time a high school aged
boy or girl should be in at night.
The panel thought it would help
matters lot if parents would get

Equals Mishaps

Nine traffic accidents in which
nine persons were injured, most
of them but slightly, resulted here

crews report on.
