Full Scale Alert
To Sound Friday

The first in an every-two-months
county wide Civil Defense full
scale alert will sound at IL a. m.
Friday, December End. No public
participation is required, but it is
well to become acquainted with the
signals.
The test will open with a five
minute high-pitched steady blast,
which in a real emergency signals
turning on radio or television for
civil defense instructions.
After a lull of two minutes the
sirens will sound the "take cover"
signal, a three-minute up-and-
down sound. In a real emergency
this signals a momentarily enemy
attack.
John X. Pokorny, council civil de-
fense coordinator announces that a
similar alert is scheduled every
two months, until further notice.

A Good-Turn
For Goodwill
On Saturday

East Cleveland Boy Scouts have
been alerted for their annual "Good
turn for Goodwill" to be staged
Saturday, December 3rd. In charge
of the District z and participating
in District Commissioner John
Andree. East Troop is assigned
it's own collection area.
One day each year Boy Scouts
volunteer to collect unneeded cloth
ing and toys which are restored,
and distributed to seven Goodwill
Industries stores to be sold at
most reasonable prices. The work
is done by handicapped people who
could not be employed in other
industries because of the involve
ment. Often, however, the skill
learned in the Goodwill Shop makes
it possible for a handicapped per-
son to take a job where the handi-
cap does not present problem.
Goodwill Trucks will pick up the
larger articles reported in by the
Scouts. These trucks will also pick
up the collected items from the
central station in each district.
Rudolph Stefanko, acting Good
will Director says "The drive could
not come at a better time. 1t keeps
the employees on paying jobs dur
ing winter months, usually slack
period for our regular collections.

Begin Survey
Of NobIe-NeIa
Parking Plan

To determine the feasibility of
providing adequate off-street park
ing in the Noble-Nela business dis
trict, East Cleveland is joining
Cleveland Heights in survey and
study of the proposal. They have
employed Charles L. Knight,
traffic engineer to make the neces-
sary survey, the City Commission
endorsing the action Tuesday night
By passage Of the necessary legis-
lation.
The first concrete action for
the project got underway in Au-
gust 1866 when merchants, realiz-
ing the need for offstreet parking
in this highly congested business
district, decided to check on the
possibilities Of an off-street park
ing lot. Since then Cecvil Stone
braker, druggist, and Lou DiVito,
florist have contacted every prop
erty owner in the area and have
signed up 999o of them.
Costs Of the undertaking is to be
shared two-thirds by the prop
erty owners and merchants and
one-third by the cooperating mum
icipalities within whose boundaries
this lively business section is
located.
Since a number of property
owners live elsewhere it has taken
time to correspond with them, ex-
plain the situation and obtain their
signatures to the petitions.
Mr.. Knight explained procedures
to a meeting Of the merchants
and representatives of the two
cities.
Commenting on the undertaking
City Manager Chas. A. Carran
SAYS that the Commission must
reach some decision on not only
this particular off-street parking
proposal, but whether or not there
are other business areas in the city
where off-street parking should
be provided through a similar
program.

.Citys Shortest
Street Is Named

East Cleveland's newest and
shortest street, 12O feet in length
will be identified as Island Road.
1t is the stretch of improved road
way linking Northvale and Forest
Hills blvd. in Forest Hills.
The City Commission Tuesday
evening enacted the necessary legis-
lation and a full sized street sign
will be posted there.
The name is most appropriate
since the merger and the linking
road (now Island Road formed a
triangle of streets setting off a
plot of ground with an 80-foot
base and extending $50 feet to its
tip. The plot contains about 5000
square feet.
Island Road, however, will not be
a new street for Uncle Sans
postal department, since its two
abutting properties already have
their official addresses, one for
Northvale blvd, and one for Forest
Hill blvd, which they front. Is
land rd. will be the street along
their side yards.

Gives Rules
On Christmas
Decorating

With Christmas chimes, Christ.
mas trees and holy decorations, its
time to remind Of Christmas safety
Fred w. Lange, Chief of the
East Cleveland Fire Department
sounds a warning note for safer
and happier Christmas; in giving
the rules and regulations of his
department relative to the decora-
tions of the season.
All materials and all electrical
equipment or devices intended for
the decorating or the Illuminating
of any Christmas tree or other
decorating plan, must bear the
label or the listing of nationally
accepted testing laboratory and be
approved by. the fire marshal. The
sale of anything to the contrary is
prohibited under the Ohio General
Code.
Natural trees, explains Chief
Lange, will be permitted in public
places and stores under the super
vision of the Inspecting Officer
and under the following condi-
tions:
/. Height Of tree shall not ex-
ceed ten (10) feet, without special
permission.
2. No trees shall be permitted
in passageways or near places of
egress of public buildings, such
as theaters, churches, assembly
halls, department stores, schools
and hospitals.
3. No electric lights or electric
wiring will be permitted on or
under large trees. Lighting shall
be indirect ION very small trees,
lights will be permitted, but must
be turned off when no one is in
attendance). No candles or open
flames shall be permitted on or
near trees. All Christmas decora-
tions must be flameproofed to meet
the requirements of the State Law.
The flameproofing formula recon-
mended is: Four ounces of boric
acid and nine ounces of borax to a
gallon of water. Dip the material
or decorations in the solution,
wiring out and hang to dry. Re-
peat after each laundering.
'Fire in any crowded public
building" the chief points out,
"may easily lead to panic. Smok-
ing and flammable decorations in
public buildings are a bad COM
bination; neither are allowed.
Waste materials should be removed
at once. Aisles, exits and fire
doors must be unobstructed. Exits
should be clearly marked. Report
any blocked exit or fire hazard in
public buildings to your fire chief.
Automatic fire detection and
alarm equipment, sprinklers, hand
hose and fire extinguishers should
be ready to operate. Sprinklers
should not be obstructed by piles
of goods, decorations or temporary
partitions.
"Do your part in discouraging
the use of wax candles at church
candlelight service s-electric
candles are just as effective and
a lot safer" concludes Chief
Lange.

Give Date For
MothersMareh:
January 3lst

Captains and their volunteers
who make up the strong East
Cleveland Mothers March organi-
cation are receiving their first
alert for the 1856 Campaign. This
week their chairman, Stanton
Adams is announcing the date of
the forthcoming March. 1t will be
Tuesday evening. January 31st.

volunteers to report in by phone
to their 1855 captains. In the few
instances where last years cap
tains has removed from the city,
these volunteers are requested to
contact Chairman Adams at Ii.
1-7248.
Commenting on the Mothers
March, Chairman Adams states
that despite the encouraging re-
ports from the Salk Vaccine tests
given thousands of children al
ready, the vaccine is to be con-
tinued to be available to thousands
of additional children this coming
Spring.
In addition to this program, the
chronically i'll polio patients con-
tinue to be the responsibility of
the Foundations care.
Chairman Adams is confident
the day will come when polio. will
join the many other now extinct
diseases, but until that day ar
rives, he says the research and
the care must continue through
the aid of the Mothers March.
East Cleveland's one night
Mothers March is an outstanding
successful campaign each year.
