City's Traps
Ready For
Jap Beetle

The city's 100 beetle traps are
set. Another battle in the 13-year
war being waged by East Cleveland
against the Japanese beetle is on.
Its a war which requires years,
sometimes, to determine the vic
tory won. But every year the
gains are favorable. Cooperation
adjoining suburbs is mandatory.
to success. Two years ago Euclid,
Cleveland Heights, South Euclid
and University Heights got into
the war.
Beetles found in the garden
should be killed and buried in the
soil, reminds John Cowing, in
charge of the local beetle fight.
Mr.. Cowing points out that since
the administration Of the milky
disease in the local control pro-
gram, today's beetles are infected
with this control measure deadly
to beetle grubs. In fact, he says,
the carcass of beetle remains in
fected for five years, thus spread
ing the infection in the ground to
in turn, infect new grubs.
The Japanese beetle goes
through four stages, the egg, the
grub, the pupa and the beetle.
Growth of the grub is usually COM
pleted in June. Along in July the
beetle energies. After a few days
of feeding, beetles mate. The eggs
are deposited from two to four
inches below the soil and so ar
ranged as to be completely sur
rounded by moist soil. In a week
or ten days the eggs hatch into
grubs about the size of the head
of a pin. Cold weather kills the
beetle. The grub survives to
emerge the next June.
The Milky Disease is the best
known means Of fighting the
Japanese beetle. 1t is harmless to
humans and pets. 1t is applied to
the soil where it infects the grubs
which die and liberate millions of
diseased spores to infect the next
seasons grubs.
Each trap has a scorer who
counts the weekly catch and re-
ports it to City Hall on a postcard
provided for this purpose. Com.
pairing records from season to sea-
son, the city can determine its
progress as we'll as trace the trend
of decline or increase in the beetle
count.

All is not play at Shaw Play
ground. There are a number of
classes, but most important are
the Learn to Swim classes. These
groups, two each day, meet three
times a week to learn how to swim
the safe way. Instructions are
given by Red Cross trained in
structors who have taken special
courses in water safety and life
saving.
Interesting are the beginner
groups, the youngsters who love
the water and who are eager to
know how to have fun in it. Shown
here, Miss Marianne Rothhaas and
her instructors are teaching a be-
ginner how to become adjusted to
the water. It's through a game
known as Hoky Poky and is in
the initial phase of the art of
swimming.
Making it easy for beginners to
adjust themselves to the water are

School And
To Act
On Budgets

Budgets will be among top items
on the agendas of both the East
Cleveland Board of Education and
the City Commission this coming
week. Hearings are being held on
the school budget Monday, July
18th and on the city's budget Tues
day, July 18th.
The city, according to its esti-
mated budget figures, will require
approximately $4,000 more to run
the city in 1855 than it did this
year. The total, including the
usual contingency item, is
$1,O55, ,604.
For operating and maintaining
the public schools in 1865, the
school board has submitted a
budget of $1,973,180 as compared
with $1,890,136 for hits year.
ETAIO UNetaoiun nu nu nu DIN
One item in the budget which is
taking at least a $4,000 jump is
the cost of elections as stipulated
by the Board of Elections. Under
a new ruling, fostered by the Guy
ahoga County Mayors Association,
election costs are now to be allo-
Gated to cities and school boards
on a 50-50 basis, regardless of the
fact that the school district has
an issue or an election of boards
members on the ballot. or not.
The costs, change from the
former 85-15 per cent ALLEGATION
with the smaller sum charged
against the school districts, is to
be apportioned to the political sub
divisions involved in odd numbered
years.
In 1850 the East Cleveland
school district paid the county
81 1,329.O4 as its share of election
costs. In 1851 the amount was
S951.26. In 1852 it was $542.36.
In 1853, under the new ruling, it
zoomed to $4,371.28.
The school board will hold a
hearing on the 1865 proposed
budget Monday, July 18th, and will
adopt the budget at the regular
monthly meeting following the
hearing. The board meets in Shaw
Technical Building.

Full Scale Production
Starts This Month In
New Tow Motor Plant

eral years. It has been apparent
for some time that the six and a
half acres on which are located the
main plant and offices just weren't
enough for the pioneer manufac-
turer Of fork lift trucks and in
dustrial tractors.
Revived competition was an ad-
ditional factor which motivated
this latest expansion by the COM
pany. Towmotor is helping other
companies meet increasing COM
petition by producing fork lift
trucks which cut material handling
costs. Towmotor, like it's custom
ers, is alert to the need of cutting
costs during this era of keener
competition. AS Lester M. Sears,
Chairman Of the Board of Direc-
tors explained, "In this new fac
tory we will be able to put into
practice the newest production
methods which we hope will result
in lower production COSTS"
Company president, C. Edgar
Smith explained that by the use
Of the new plant, Towmotor will
eliminate outside expensive rent
ais, storage, extra handling and
hauling charges. Furthermore, the
Company now has the facilities
with which it can produce items
formerly purchased from outside
sources.
"The new factory will answer
our need for more efficient and
lower cost operations which is
emphasized by increasing labor and
material COSTS" Mr.. Smith said.
He said also that he is confident
in the future growth of the COM
pany which has had to streamline
and expand it's own operations to
serve those of customers.

SUMMERTIME FUN
Children on Vassar, Fernwood,
and Wellesley aves., together with
their mothers had a wonderful
neighborhood picnic on Wednes-
day, at Forest Hills Park. Basket
lunches, homemade drinks and
games and prizes were the order
of the day.
"If you want the kids to stay
happy, keep friendly and stay out
of trouble, get the kids together
and take them on a picnic" say
these mothers.
"The good neighbor policy goes
for us too. 1t does a lot to keep
peace and good will. What about
other neighborhoods doing the
same"
Have you seen or found, or do
you know someone who has seen
or found D.. blue parakeet? The
owner has searched, has adver-
tised, has gone from door TO door
on trails, all to no purpose. The
bird who would toy with the thread
when she sewed, and do the other
funny games that parakeets love
to do is still missing. If you can
be "a 1>help, please call PO. 1887.
The owner wants only her own
bird.
East Cleveland had good holi-
day weekend. Only ten traffic ac-
cidents were reported here, all
minor, no serious personal injuries.
A fine record which keeps step
with the national record which is
better than anticipated by the Ma
tional Safety Council. Motorists,
it seems, are really becoming
consious of the danger of careless
ness behind the wheel.
We didn't forget litter-not for

Combined with the science of
the meteorologists will be the

this aspect of their planning the

lessons learned the hard way
this year when at least three
hurricanes have been more or
less lost after they passed north

lessons is that learned from the
crew of the U. S. Coast Guard

warning though its speed, velo-

established when it passed off
