Craftsmanship Of Louise Barthold
of the employee relations division
of Nela Park, the committee has
held two planning meetings and
has a third scheduled for today.
Working with representatives
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League,
the committee has arranged an
x-ray schedule which calls for
more hours of x-raying in the
early evening.
"For the convenience of people
who work downtown, the units
will work until 6 o'clock or after
at seven different locations dur
ing their East Cleveland VISIT"
Miss Barthold points out.
"This years x-ray program has
become truly an enterprise of the
people of the community" says
DR.. James P. Winkler, director of
health.
81 think that the opportunity for
free chest x-ray will be welcome
by every adult in the community"
he says, "for it is one positive
step that all of us can take to
help speed the day when tubercu-
losis will be wiped out.
"As long as one undiscovered,
active case remains in the COM
munity, there is danger that the
infection will spread. No home is
safe until all homes are safe.
at is good to know for sure
that you aren't the one who has
tuberculosis. Chest x-ray provides
the easiest way for you to gain
this assurance"
DIR. Winkler points out that
chest x-ray is free, quick, easy,
just like having your picture
taken. There is no undressing, no
long waiting. Reports are conf
Dental.
A full schedule of locations and
operating hours for the Christmas
Seal units during their visit to
East Cleveland is printed in ad-
joining columns.
Special participation in the sur
vey is being planned by many
groups. The Blue Star Mothers.
for example, have planned their
own motor pool so that each men,
Der will be certain of transporta-
tion to and from one of the x-ray
locations.
YMCA boys under the direction
of W ". Cumler have distributed
x-ray posters.
This weekend, Boy Scouts under
the direction of J. NJ. Cornelius
and Bill Steuart will distribute
schedules to every dwelling unit
in the city.
Doctors and dentists and phar-
macists all will have schedules on
hand for distribution.
Girl Scouts under the direction
of Mrs. Richard Randall, and
Camp Fire Girls under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Frank Holzheimer
will be at x-ray units during all
except school hours to invite
passers-by into the units for free
X-ray.
The x-ray service is being an
nounced in churches, schools and
service clubs.

Clean-Up Is
Encouraging
Diseouraging

Two kinds of reports filled secre-
tary Tom Dinell's notebook follow
ing the Monday night meeting of
the East Cleveland Cleanup Com
mittee. Encouraging were reports
on specific detectives on large
scale; discouraging were the re-
ports on that most annoying of
community nuisances, litter.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
held in his hand sixteen reminders
to owners of vacant lots. In each
instance police had traced owner
ship, requested cleanup, and in
each instance response had been
prompt.
Capt. Otto Swancar, reporting
for the Fire Department, said that
out of some 60 specific needed
clean-ups and fix-ups, nine i'm
provement jobs are underway
already.
When the matter Of litter was
discussed, Chief of Police Weaver
said that the amount of litter pre-
valent in any one location is usu-
ally in ratio to traffic at that same
point. The comment led the COM
mittee to again realize that this
matter of a neat city is up to
the individual and his pride in his
community.
However, there were words of
cheer from Frank Thomas, repre-
senting the Apartment Owners
Association. Mr.. Thomas said the
fame of East Cleveland as a we'll
administered and we'll maintained
city, is heard on all sides in Subur-
ban areas. Generally, he said, the
trend is to follow the East Cleve-
land pattern.
Mr.. Thomas said they had check
ed with 20 apartment owners in
East Cleveland and still had some
35 to contact, seeking all-out CO.
operation in the year round Clean
up Campaign. With but few ex-
ceptions the response is good. In
few instances return calls will
have to be made, he indicated.
A campaign, with awards, is
underway in the Superior-Rozelle
Property Owners Civic Associa-
tion area, according to its presi-
dent, j. Durant Mix. Mr.. Mix is
of the opinion that best Cleanup
results can be attained on the
small group or street by street
level. He reported that number
of streets in the Superior -Rozelle
district are at their best in years.
E. P. Swisher, Community Coun-
Gil representative during his report
indicated that he also is of the
opinion that the Cleanup Crusade
effectiveness depends on the indi-
vidual citizen cooperation.
President Thomas Murry ad-
journed the meeting to the call OF
the chair in the fall.

Chest X-Ray Bus In Town Tuesday
Goal Of 1000 Set

weeks?
The East Cleveland Chest x
Ray Committee is betting that
this goal can be met. Under the

STAY in line and keep within

STOP for coffee and a breather
every 100 miles.
AVOID night time driving when

DON'T drive after drinking:
Don't drink if you plan to
drive.

Fraternal Order of Police an
nounces it is participating in the
effort. 1t has posted the safety
reminders for this particular cam
paign, in motels, restaurants, etc
"Last year." says Mr.. Hall
during the Memorial Day week
end, 16 people were killed in Ohio
and a total of 351 people died ir
traffic deaths across the nation
The fact that traffic deaths last
year were higher than any pre-
vious three day Memorial Day
weekend is a tragic commentary
on the American motorists mania
for speed-the worst of all high
way killers.
"The Fraternal Order of Police
would like to remind all motorists
that the Memorial Day weekend
this year is another three day
weekend. 1t warns them to take
greater care than many motorists
did last year if they don't want
to see the 1866 highway death toll
reach last years high.
