Be On Guard
Against Measles
Warns WinkIer

With II cases of measles reported
to the Department of Health during
January, DR.. James p. Winkler,
director of health today cautions
parents of small children to be on
guard against this communicable
disease.
Measles follows a general pattern
of high and low incident cycles and
the year 1856, according to pattern
may we'll be a high incident season,
states the health director.
DIR. Winkler points out that early
measles symptoms are runny nose,
watery eyes and fever and when
children have these symptoms it is
time to contact the family physician
regardless of the child's age.
East .Cleveland's worst measles
year on record was in 1941 with
1851 cases. The graph reached 6
peak again in 1914 with 729 cases
There were 428 in 1949 and in 1854
it reached a high of 62S.

Some children like sports, while
others prefer the less strenuous.
Whatever he prefers, they should
be encouraged. Each child has
something that he can excel in. 1t
may not be perfection but he should
be encouraged to give it the best of
his ability. This constitutes a cul-

Hobbies are a special interest.
They are not just handed to one,
but a discovery. 1t is that some

ways in which it can be improved
as the years go by. Your boy can
find his hobby and discover poten-

Christian counselors are there at all
times with helpful ideas, patience
and understanding. Many boy can

Katisho Leist, Mikado's Right

Practically every character in the

"Snokiing" "
Fires Down.
Says Lange

Fires due to carelessness on the
part of smokers, which have. topped
the cause of fires in East Cleveland
for the past few years, were nudged
out of first place in 1866. Taking
over were the number of fires due
to electricity and electric appliances.
Fred w. Lange, chief of the East
Cleveland Fire Department holds
that the continued warnings of
safety organizations is undoubtedly
the reason for the drop in the per-
centage of fires from smoking.
The increased number of fires in
the electric appliance category, ac-
cording to Lange, may be due to
two things. First, the increased
number of such appliances and,
second, the tendency to overload
existing electrical outlets.
In 1853, 1870 (73) of all East
Cleveland fires were due to care
lessness with smoking. In 1854, the
drop was to 300 (53 fires) and in
1855, it went down to 269o (43 such
fires).
In contrast, fires due to electricity
or electric appliances show steady
increase from $3.50 in 1858 to $40
of all local fires in 1866.
Chief Lange's annual department
report to City Manager Chas. A
Carran reveals another interesting
figure. Fires in dwellings in 1856
were down go while fires in apart
ments jumped 300. When these
figures started showing up on the
monthly records, Chief Lange as.
signed his men to a close inspection
of apartments, the number of these
inspections mounting from 245 ir
1854 to 707 in 1855. He wanted tc
know just why the increase in apart
ment fires. He confesses he still does
not know. The inspections failed tc
yield any "too many of a kind
reasons. And, added the chief, the
smoking angle was not high in these
fires.
Again the department was able tc
keep the city's per capita fire loss
to a low 60c. This is based on the
total estimated loss of S24,178 il
the 165 fires threatening propertie:
valued at $9,049,775. The uninsured
loss is reported at $3.50.
OF the total 472 alarms registered
$50 were rescue and first aids; 3;
needless: Is false and seven alarm.
from without the city.
The department made 4,168 in
spections, checked 1858 hydrants
found 446 violations. The violation.
are listed as faulty wiring, combust
ible rubbish on property, defective
fireplaces, heating apparatus o.
incinerators.
The department received 60E
pupils, Scouts and citizens who were
shown through the station, chiefly
at No. l station, Marloes I'd. Station
No. 2 is located on Shaw ave-, ad
jacent to Shaw Field.
The department operated on /;
budget of $185, 265.55, or S14.54 les!
than in 1854. The 81 men lost 13t
days because of illness or injuries
None were injured while on duty.
While on duty at the station, the
men provide their departments gen
eral maintenance and repair and tenc
the City Hall lawn and hedges.

"No event is more notable than
flinging wide the door Of hope and
high adventure to the youth of East
Cleveland" In this quote from the
dedicatory address by Fred A. RAM
sey, is the spirit in which the new
home of the East Cleveland YMCA
was dedicated Sunday, January 29th.
Due to the blustery weather,
the entire Monday, January 3Oth
schedule Of affairs at the Y
House were postponed one week.
Clevelanders thronged the beauti-
ful and practical building at 1881
Lee rd. What they saw there and
what they heard there, pleased them.
When speakers reminded that
building of brick and stone was but
the means to the goals of the Young
Mems Christian Association, they
needed but to look into the faces OF
the men and women present to
know that in them was the bull
wark, the power that would direct
the new facilities to the building OF
Christian men.
Taking part in the impressive
ceremonies, under the presiding Of
ficer. Sterling T. Apthorp, were
YMCA and community leaders from
throughout the area.
A huge key, symbol Of the open
door at the completed building was
handed by C.. Earl Pratt, senior vice
president of the Cleveland Construc-
ton Co., through several hands un-
til it came to rest in those of the
new Y executive secretary, Gordon
G. Esch.
On behalf of the city, City Man
ager Chas. A. Carran expressed ap-
probation to all who have made the
new Y house possible stating East
Cleveland can be justly proud of
this achievement that will pay a
great return on an investment in
bows" He closed with the comment
that YMCA makes East Cleveland a
better place in which to live.
"This is the day waited for long
time" declared Z. V. Rasmussen,
general secretary Of the Cleveland
YMCA who explained that the in
sistence of East Clevelanders
pushed their Y from near the bot
tom to the second place on the list
of 10 proposed new structures.
Chairman Apthorp thanked the
people for coming to participate
in the dedication of the new Y
House on the site of once the car
rot patch for the McGregor Home.
In his remarks, Mr.. Ramsey de-
Tended today's youth as the VIC
tins of unrest in a difficult period
of the world. He declared that
only $50 of the nations youth
could be termed delinquent and
plead for the adults to stand by
and do their utmost for youth. On
the other hand, he complimented
youth for their ability to take and
meet their responsibilities.
He held that youth were victims
of a too-many definition word
"Teenager."
Mr.. Ramsey said this is the
century of the child-with the child
under the light and subject to a
current trend to criticize youth.
He declared that today's youth re-
veal more promise than problems.
