Mainly Personal

IT WAS GOOD last Friday night
TO hear the town hall chimes bring
the end to a perfect day with the
melody by that name. One doesn't
realize what the chimes do for the
community until we are without them
for a period of six weeks and then
suddenly their mellow tones break
the evening air.
Perhaps it is a good time to again
express appreciation to those persons
and organizations who made the
chimes possible-Vern Walker for
starting the ball rolling and the Bluff
ton Business Mems association and
r. L. Triplett for making them
financially possible. A pat on the back
is also due Jim Benroth, who is clock
custodian, keeps the big Ben" tick
ing and the chimes playing.
MISS FERN KOCH'S SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS at nearby Bethesda
E. u. B. church recently studied a
lesson on the power of prayer. An
incident in the life of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower as youngster,
when blood poisoning threatened to
make the amputation of his leg
necessary, is cited in the story. The
infection cleared after the bedside
prayers of Dwight's mother and
| father.
The lesson leaflet together with a
"get-well" note from the class was
mailed to the president during his
recent disqualification, and recently
Miss Koch received a note from Mrs.
Eisenhower's secretary, Mary Jane
McCaffree with signature cards from
Mamie and Ike.
1.-THE prayers and good wishes
which you and your Sunday School
Class at the Bethesda EUB church
sent to the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower recently are heartwarm-
ing. They have asked me to thank
you for your generous thought of
| them.
1T was interesting to us to learn
of your recent lesson to members OF
the class concerning the value OF
prayer. Both the President and our
First Lady are deeply religious and
prayer is an important part of their
daily lives.
I" The First Lady is happy to re-
member you with the enclosed White
House cards, signed by the President
and her, in appreciation of the inter
est which you have expressed" the
White House note stated.

Expect Highest
Accident Rate
This December

Upon the recommendation Of
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver, the
East Cleveland Safety Council at
it's December 3rd meeting voted to
actively participate in the Ma
tional Safety Councils December
Back the Attack" safety drive.
Chief Weaver explained that this
"Back the Attack" drive is planned
on the basis of evidence that this
December will be the worst month
for traffic accent on death and
destruction. For 19 months, con-
tinued Mr.. Weaver, the slaughter
of men, women and children on the
nations streets and highways has
been increasing at an alarming
rate. Traffic accidence have be-
come a tidal wave which threatens
to engulf our nation in the highest
motor vehicle death rate in history.
Continuing, Chief Weaver said
that regardless of age, this is the
peoples war. Every time a person
drives his car or walks, he is on
the battlefield, since this war must
be fought on streets and highways.
The basic rules on safe driving and
safe walking are the weapons. Any
careless act that endangers ones
own life or the life of another, is
enemy aid.

Delay Decision
On Late Hour
Cafe Request

No decision has been handed
down to Tuesday by the Cleveland
District Office of the Board Of
Liquor Control in the hearing for
a 2:30 closing hour for the Huddle
Cafe, 1929 Hayden ave. The cafe
now closes at 100 p. m. under its
D-3 permit.
Opposition to extending the clos
ing hour comes from three sources:
the neighbors, First Church of the
Nazarene, and the City of East
Cleveland.
The city, states Law Director
Stanley Webster, has no objection
to the Cafe as now operated, but
feels that since the location is in
a residential neighborhood. the earli-
er closing hour is advisable.
Also, the city contends that the
routine appeal before the Zoning
Board for any change in permit
status has not been filed by the
Cafe.
The Liquor Board indicates it will
notify the parties concerned when
they have reached a conclusion.
The hearing was held Monday,
December 3rd.

Display Sign Clue To Reunion OF
Cousins After Thirty Long Years

ayes, he is in the service shop"
replied the surprised Mrs. Kicks,
since everyone hereabouts calls her
husband "Cappy". "Now, who can
she be" she wondered . but not
for long. Bursts of laughter and
words of surprise came from the
service shop, with Mr.. Ricks call
ing out, "Kitty, she's my first cou-
sin. haven't seen her in 80 years"
The happy reunion continued that
evening at the Kicks home, Maple
Ridge Farm, Chardon where her
still surprised hosts soon had Cou-
sin Isabelle doing her first "phone
patch" with Detroit friends over
the Kicks own amateur station
W8DXW.
The Kicks, by the way, are old
hands at talking into mike. Cappy
has had his license for more than
80 years and Mrs. Ricks is the only
woman in the Grey Hair net.
Oh, yes, the conversation CEN
tered on family and early days and
happenings of personal importance
during the long 80 years.

call because of deep concern over
the behavior of her young son. 1t
is the caseworker's job to listen
to these hundreds of other per-

Planning Christmas Decorations?
Lange Gives Rules Sounds Warning

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 deco
rations must be flameproofed to
meet the requirements of the
State Law.
The flameproofing formu a
recommended is: Four ounces of
boric acid and nine ounces of borax
to a gallon of water. Dip the ma
terial or decorations in the solu-
ton, wiring out and hang to dry.
Repeat 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 combi-
nation; 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 pub
lie buildings to your fire chief.
Automatic fire detection and
larm 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 services-electric can
dies are just as effective and a lot
safer" concludes Chief Lange.
