In eost Cleveland

Long-service volunteers on the
chest X-ray program welcomed
two distinguished citizens to the
buses during the recent program.
Anthony Calabrese, state repre-
sentative, and Kousin Kay are 60
ing to be positively certain that
their chests are ok. Calabrese is
an East Clevelander. Kousin Kay
moved from Beersford rd. to the
west side when his broadcasting
duties took him to a studio there.
East Cleveland did it again.
While the total x-rays show 81
under the 1000 goal, it also re-
ports a four-hour breakdown of
one bus. Just imagine what those
four hours would have proved
with rate of 141 per hour as es-
tablished during the survey.
1t just never ends. One item is
scarcely stricken from the engage
ment book when another appears.
Here it is folks, the call for blood
donors at the old gym, Shaw High
School, June 1928. That chest
x-ray was for YOU and OTHERS.
The blood contributed could be
for you, and always for OTHERS.
Sign up.
There are still a few places
about town that need attention to
keep pace with the city's year
round cleanup program. Just
take a look at your property.
Police this week have notified
quite a few property owners to
get rid of weeds. A few hedge
owners have also been reminded
of city regulations. In another
vein, have you noticed the painting
going on about town, business
blocks, apartments, residents get
ting fresh new coats? All add to
the general appearance of Our
Town.
A Copenhagen taxi driver, tired
of impatient passengers, stuck the
following notice on the inside of
his cab:
Better to drive at 40
And live to 80,
Then drive at 80
And die at 40!
Our Litter Chatter for today can
best be found in the following note
from one street of residents. Since
it is general, we reprint, with a
plea for all dog owners to kindly
take heed:
"We have read with approval
your article on keeping the city
clean and neat. But please! please!
can't you go a little further and
urge the dog walker to be careful
where their dog deposits it's litter
for instance why not on the
owners lawn instead of on a
neighbor's?
"These deposits dotted around
certainly do not help the cleanli-
ness of the city or the feelings of
the neighbor,"

Brundage Will Visit
Australia 10 Check
On 0Iympics 5etup

CHICAGO. Mar. % (P.-
Avery Brundage. head of the In
ternational Olympic Games
Committee. will leave this week
for Melbourne, Australia. despite
assurances that preparations for
the 1856 games will be completed
on schedule.
Brundage said yesterday he
has heard conflicting reports
from Australia that labor
troubles have delayed work on
the stadium and other facilities
for the games.
This is the latest in series of
problems which have cropped up
since the 1856 Olympics were
awarded to Melbourne in 1949.
There's been quite a bit Of
publicity emanating from Aus
tralia that's not too good" Brun-
dage said. II have assurances
from officials that the troubles
have been settled and prepara-
tions will be completed on sched-
ule."
Brundage. however, said he
wants to make a routine check of
the situation before the Inter-
national Committee meets in
Paris June 14-17.,
Difficulties in staging the
games at Melbourne are not
new.
One of the top problems was
cleared last year when the COM
mittee decided to stage the
equestrian events in Stockholm.
Australia's quarantine law
made it virtually impossible for
horses from countries other than
New Zealand, the United King
dom and Fire to enter the coun-
try without a delay of six
months.
Because of this law and squab-
bles over sites for the stadium
and swimming pool and a vii
lage to house the athletes. it
was questionable whether Mel
bourne would keep the games.
These squabbleS eventually
led to the resignation of Arthur
Coles as chairman of the Aus
tralisn Games Committee.
Coles, succeeded by Leslie
Coleman, pointed out with an
ger at the time that the gov
ernment had constantly changed
its mind over chosen sites.
Recently. all was believed to
be harmonious until Brundage
decided on the trip which will
also take him to Japan.
Brundage said he wants to
look over the Melbourne prepa-
rations so that he can give the
committee a first-hand report
at Paris.
Brundage added he is visiting
Japan because "the Japanese
have invited us to hold the 1860
games there and / plan to look
over their preparation plans"
