100000 in six years. The electric

year interval. With good crews
he found no serious problems in
that phase of the towns business.

Vine Fire Smoke. Causes
Tlhree-Car Accident at
JimtOwn
VISIBILITY ZERO

The new $4,000 engine of the
Citizens Hose Company had bap-
tism of smoke instead of fire when
it was used for the first time last
Friday night. According to Rob-
ert FAIRIES, assistant chief, the fire.
men were responding to call at
1926 pm. for fire near Jimtown
Crossing in the Clayton area but
before they could reach the scene
they were stopped by what he
termed "a blanket of smoke" and
it was necessary to use firemen
with powerful lights walking be-
side the engines to guide them.
The fire was in a field covering
three or four acres where pea and
bean vines had been set afire. The
Smyrna engines came upon
three-car accident which was the
result of the lack of visibility,
which firemen termed "zero-zero
plus" Betty VESSEL, fifteen-year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jam
es VESSEL was injured in the acci-
dent, and required four stitches in
her tongue. She was treated by
DR.. John ]. Lazzeri. The Smyrna
firemen called the Clayton volun-
teers. and there were six pieces Oh
equipment at the scene, but they
could do nothing, according to the
firemen as they could not get in
due to smoke. The Smyrna fire.
men who act as traffic police when
necessary were stationed at Pleas
anton's Garage and Horshoe Inn
and directed traffic through the
White House-Welfare Home Road
and thru Clayton. The state po-
lice assisted at the scene and the
local firemen returned to the fire
house soon after 1 am. after four
hours of duty. The peculiar fire
was likened by firemen to a turf
fire and was still burning on Sat
urday. The smoke was held down
on the ground by a night fog at
the time, and red flares and the
powerful lights used by the fire.
men were not sufficient to pene-
trate it. The drivers of the three
Smyrna engines were Clark Ennis,
Albert O'Neal, and Alan Robinson.

Ernest Simpson, 86
Suceumb Monday

The man who was possibly best
acquainted with the location of
early barns and houses in Cuya-
hoga County, and particularly
buildings in general in East
Cleveland, Shaker Heights and
Cleveland Heights, Ernest B.

Road Hospital, aged Sc years. His

AS a freshman in Case Institute

a fellow employee of the county

location of each house and farm.
In later years, after he had
received an engineering degree at
Cornell University and spent some
time sampling ore for blast fur
naces along Lake Erie, he settled
down in East Cleveland, opening
an excavating and landscaping
for hundreds of buildings being
erected in the then newer suburbs
of Cleveland Heights and Shaker
Heights. The company offices were
in a building opposite East Cleve-
land City Hall.
Mr.. Simpson first come to East
Cleveland 60 years ago when his
parents moved here from the
Cedar-East 105th st. section. His
father James w. Simpson was one
of the earlier east side realtors.
During his ore sampling days he
met and married Miss Nina For
ney of Erie, Pa, and it was fol-
lowing his marriage that he took
up residence here. The family
home is at 14524 Terrace rd. Mr..
Simpson retired in 1943, following
the death of his wife.
Mr.. Simpson was a charter
member of Windermere Presby-
terian Church. His pastor, Rev. ].

This and That from Washington
BY Congressman Frances p. Bolton

Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act did not state clearly enough
that refusal to admit a food and
drug inspector constituted a viola
ton of that Act. Such refusal to
permit an inspector, would Of
course, open the door to disregard
ing with impunity the sanitary and
other safeguards provided in the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act.
Although certain that only the
very few would take advantage Of
the laxness in the wording Of the
law, President Eisenhower in his
message on the State Of the Union,
urged Congress to restore unequiv-
ocally the inspector power Of the
Food and Drug Administration.
This, Public Law 217 does.

learn the effect of atmospheric re-

evening only to find him one OF

DROTECTING THE PUBLIC.
Il One of the first responsible
ties of the President and of the
Congress, as it Is of State Legis-
latureS, is to be vigilant in all mat
ters which affect the health of the
people. To this end the 83rd Con-
gress, at the Presidents request, put
Public Law 217 on the books. It
seems that Supreme Court ruling
in December, 1852, had revealed the
fact that existing provisions of the
