In Eost Cleveland

An understanding neighbor and a
cooperating bus driver turned
tears to smiles for wee Savannah
ave. school girl the other morning
She missed her school bus and was
crying bitterly when her neighbor
came along, going to the bus stop.
Hearing the reason for the weep
ing, the neighber explained the
situation to the regular No. 80
driver, Edward Granchi, h o
thought he could do something to
help out and he did. When the
bus reached st. Philomena School.
he stopped and escorted his little
passenger across the street, to the
approval of his adult passengers.
In case you're a Bus No. 80 rider
and do not know Mr.. Granchi by
name, his number is 4-101. Oh, yes,
the neighbor let CTS know about
the drivers kindness.
It's a few weeks away, but it's a
date that might just as well be
jotted down right now. In the midst
of vacation plans one could just
miss it. It's Wednesday, August
21st East Cleveland Day at
the Stadium, dinner behind the
fence, ball players as guests and
everything. All details later.
It was easier to change the
March 26th ECBA Box Social than
the Exchange Club Class E
League basketball dinner :. so the
box social will be held week later,
on April End. Nice work, COM
mittees.
Making every effort to include
their son-for- -the-year in all the
privileges enjoyed by their own
three sons, DIR. and Mrs. Homer
Alexander offered their American
Field Service son, Alf Kolbenstvedt
a choice of TV or radio when he
came to their home last September.
The boy declined both, preferring
to follow the pattern of Norwegian
youth of giving these hours to
thought, meditation and decisions
minus the distraction of radio
or TV. In Norway, radio is minus
commercials and TV is conspicuous
by its absence.
Norwegian youth, comments ALI,
spend more time in serious thinking
than do the average American
youth. This may account for one of
their preferred pleasures as related
elsewhere in this issue of the
Leader.
Alf has won the hearts of East
Clevelanders who are "sold" on the
AIS program of exchange students
and are looking forward to
another such delightful and re-
warding guest next winter. In the
meanwhile, Shaw hopes to have one
of it's representatives spread the
gospel of America in home on a
foreign strand this summer.

Need Nephrosis
Workers On 10Th

Nephrosis Walkers will dis
tribute 10000 pamphlets March
26th as they call on neighbors
and friends to ask for contribu-
tions to fight the dreaded child
hood kidney disease.
Mrs. Nicholas Fiore. 1909 North
Lockwood rd., of East Cleveland,
chairman, said volunteer walkers
are still needed to participate in
the Campaign.

of the danger signals of Nephrosis
that are apt to appear in children.
Officials of the Foundation hope
that by alerting parents to the
signs, will lead to early detection
of the disease, and perhaps better
chances for eventual recovery.
About 500 Of youngsters affected
could be saved.
Direct service was rendered here
in more than $50 occasions to
Nephrotic children during 1856.
The county's $74,917 goal will
be used to:
l. Provide expensive drugs which
amount to an average of $500
per week for Nephrotic young
sters.
2. Parent education.
3. Research at Babies and Chill
dren's Hospital, into Nephrosis
and allied kidney disorders.
4. Aid in sponsoring medical

careful survey of $500 children in Mont
gomery and Prince George Counties this year
by the Dental Research section of the National
Institutes of Health showed:
Sixyear-old children who have drunk only
fluordated water from the lines of the Wash

per cent fewer cavities than normal children who
drink untreated water
Thirteen-yearold children show a decline
of IS per cent from the normal number of cavi-
ties
BY 1864 the average decline of expected
cavities among all children drinking WSSC water
should rise to go per cent
Dr. Albert Russell, director Of the NH sur.

those obtained in cities using fluor1dated water
across the nation.

Today's acceptance Of fluoridation is In sharp

But the use of fluoride has resulted only in
greater dental health. Discooration of teeth has
resulted only in communities that have natural
content of more than one part fluoride to every
one million parts of water. Too much fluoride
produces nothing of the teeth.
NH chose the area served by the Washing

its initial publication of water before fuoride
is added, the utility company removes all the

The fuoride, or more exactly the sodium
silica-fluoride Is introduced into WSSCs water

Altogether, the three plants put out nearly
