April Bad Month
For Accidents On
Our Highways

COLUMBUS, OHIO - IF you
are not easily impressed with pleas
to drive safely, take a look at the
records which show 126 reasons
why April can be a dangerous
month as we'll as good month for
motoring"
This advice came today from u.
c. Felty, Director of the Depart
ment of Highway Safety, who
pointed to the fact that "the 126
persons killed during April, 1854,
should be enough to convince any
one that they should drive care
fully. April has always been a sig
nal to motorists to head for the
open road and it is up to each driv-
er whether the trip ends as he
plans or in tragedy"
Although April was one of our
low months in fatal accidents last
year, "the fact still remains that
126 persons were slaughtered in

Shaw High Schools seniors did
even better than advance reports
indicated in the recent state
scholarship test, information re-
ceived by Principal Wayne C..
Blough this week shows,
The Leader reported last week
that James Kutcher of 1927 Gale
donia ave., received the second
highest score among the students
taking the test in Cuyahoga Coun-
ty. He did even better than that,
word from Columbus now reveals
he was the second highest boy in
the entire state, and the third best
over all. He also received sec
one place-boys" certificate for
the Kent State University district,
which embraces the northeastern
corner of Ohio and includes such
populous cities as Akron, Youngs-
town, and Canton in addition to
Cleveland.
Diana Reynard of 1O41 Nela
View rd., won sixteenth place
among the girls taking the test
in the state, and was the sixth
highest ranking girl in the Kent
district. John Kessler of 1749
Eddy rd. was awarded an honor
able mention in the state rankings,
which means that he placed within
the top five per cent of all the
students taking the test-approxi-
mately $4,000 altogether. He also
was the twenty-fifth highest rank
ing boy in the Kent district.
Five other Shaw seniors, one
girl and four boys, received honor
able mention in both the state and
the Kent University district. In
the district rankings the upper ten
per cent of the seniors are listed,
in contrast to the five percent
statewide. These five are Mary
Lois Uphoff, of 1890 Hover ave-,
Paul Schupp of 1852 Bender ave-,
David Peters of 1903 Bender ave-,
tSephan Havas of 1878 Lownesdale
rd., and Harvey Weiner of 1927
belmont ave.
In addition to these, two other
Shawites received honorable men
tion certificates for the Ken dis
trict! They are Ieva Auzins of
1902 Ashbury ave-, and Michael
Ciomek of 14404 Shaw ave.
Altogether it was Shaw's best
showing in years." commented
Principal Blough. 81 don't recall
when we have had so many Shaw
students receiving certificates, or
as many ranking so high"
The state scholarship test took
two and a half hours, and was
composed of five sections: English
and grammar, history, mathe-
matics, science, and reading COM
prehension. The scores made by
the seniors are forwarded to the
colleges in which they are planning
to enroll, and are often used by
college admittance officers in con-
sidering applications for entrance
and scholarships.

Goodbye CoIored
Chicks, Goodbye

1t may be a colorful Easter, but
not for those darling little bits of
fuz which at all other times of
the year are usually soft ma
tural yellow or light brown chick,
duck or other baby fowl.
Under a new ordinance enacted
by the East Cleveland City Com
mission the growing custom of
coloring the baby fowl at Easter
Time is out. The colored animals
cannot be displayed, sold, bartered,
or given away henceforth within
the city's domain.
In other words: no more colored
chicks or ducks, Easter or any
other time.

Shaw High Schools swimming
team appears to be on the upgrade
this season.
Though never quite able to
muster enough points to defeat the
perennial state powers of Shaker
Heights, Lakewood, and University
School, they have, nevertheless,
given other teams battle in dual
meets this year.
Cardinals were victorious in only
one meet against Cleveland
Heights at Shaw Pool on February
4th, 1856. Taking the Tigers by a
score of $3.50 the team finally won
it's first meet this year. Since that
time they have continued to show
improvement, placing 4th in the
Lake Erie League meet at Lake
wood on February 10Th, and 5th
in the District Meet at Euclid
on February 26th.
In the District Meet seven boys
qualified in four events for the
Meet to be held in Columbus on
March 18th and 18th. Individual
SWIMMERS Dick Knott qualified
for the 100-yard free style event
with a time of 1902 and Stan
Salter placed in the 100-yard
backstroke with a time of I'LL.
Teamed with Knott on the 200
yard freestyle relay team are Jim

$50 Donors
Make Red
Cross Record

Mrs. Budd Andrews East Clevs-
land Red Cross Branch Chairman
announces that the Blood Unit visit
on Wednesday February 23rd at
Shaw High School was the largest
single collection day to be realized
in the history of the East Cleve-
land Red Cross Blood Program.
Some $50 pints of blood were
collected.
Thanks are due to Blood Donor
Chairman Mrs. l.. R. Kiplinger and
her staff and the whole-hearted
response of the community, says
Mrs. Andrews who reported the
participation included seven PTAs,
10 churches, IL industries which
are building up their own blood
banks, City Hall employees, serv-
ice groups and individual citizens"
Already planned is two-day
Blood Unit visit to East Cleveland
In June. The two-day operation
will avoid the long waits that were
necessitated by last minute tight
scheduling in the big response of
donors last week. While donors
were patient, it is hoped to avoid
delays at the June visit.
The visits of the Blood Unit to
East Cleveland are supported by
the East Cleveland residents
through the Greater Cleveland Red
Cross Fund Drive which is in prog
ress until March 18th. Last year
535 pints of blood were collected
by six units in East Cleveland
under the Red Cross Blood Pro-
gram.
Other activities in East Cleve-
land supported by the Red Cross
Fund Drive are the Water Safety
Program, First Aid, Home Nurs-
ing courses and production activi-
ties. Last years Water Safety
program had an enrolment of 500
students under the direction of four
Red Cross Water Safety instruc-
tors assisted by 80 Shaw High
School students. There was one
Red Cross First Aid Class. Sched-
uled for this year are six standard
courses and one advanced course.
Women's sewing groups in East
Cleveland produced some l476 Red
Cross articles for use in local hos
pitals and institutions. This year
the groups hope to top this record.
In 1854 there were two COM
munity Home Nursing classes and
six high school Home Nursing
classes. The East Cleveland Junior
Red Cross rolled up an impressive
record of service and patients OF
Huron Road Hospital, the Metre
gor Home and Grille Veterans Hos
pital benefited from their activi-
ties. Wayne Blough, principal OF
Shaw High School is chairman OF
the Schools Division.
This week and next East Cleve-
landers can contribute and join the
Red Cross in supporting all these
local activities as Red Cross cap
tains and solicitors will be making
their house-to-house calls.
The East Cleveland goal is
