In East Cleveland

Comments Of a derogatory ma
ture have been heard, anent the
custom on some side streets of
youngsters in the immediate neigh
borhood turning the pavement into
an improvised playground for
baseball, football and kindred
games.
Streets named happen to be
those near supervised Fairgrounds
where organized activities are in
progress. They are near the city
maintained parks area. They are
in a residential area where lawns
are spacious and backyards are
large enough to accommodate pint
sized touchdown or a three-base
hit.
Do parents prefer to have their
children romp on traffic-laden
streets, when legitimate play areas
are available?

tinue the case Of the Economy
Buick Co., 1850 Euclid ave-, fol
permission to open an off-street
parking lot on Hover ave-, behind
its present used car lot.
Representatives Of the company
stated that the lot would be used
exclusively by employees and that
access to the parking area would
be available only through the Eu-
cid ave. side. No night lighting
would be necessary, they added
as there would be no parking after
regular closing hours.
Divergence of opinion was eX-
pressed on the matter. While some
residents in the vicinity expressed
objection to the parking area on
grounds that it would lower
property values and prove unde-
sirable near a residential section,
police department officials con-
tended that the off-street parking
by Economy employees would
alleviate a serious parking stu
alton in the neighborhood.
Mr.. Paul Corell. head of the car
concern, stated, when questioned,
that the used car lot itself has
space for only 60 or 20 cars and
that there is no additional space
in that spot for further parking
facilities.
Also continued, for the second
time, was the appeal of the man.
ager of the apartment building at
Colt rd. and Euclid ave. for per-
mission to use rear garages for
storage rental space. The appeal
originally came before the board
on June 11th.
William Yamshon, property
manager, through his attorney,
maintained the garages are too
small to accommodate present day
cars, that major improvements
have been made in the garage
area, anu Iudk at pICSenG IL IL
being utilized for the storage of
pipes and fixtures by a local
plumbing concern.
At the objection of the city to
trucks and trailers loading and un-
loading in the driveway area, thus
breaking curb stones, Mr.. Yam
shcn agreed to stipulate to his
garage tenant that henceforth only
curb parking would be permissible
for delivery purposes. He also
agreed in the near future to ce-
ment the tree lawn section from
curb to sidewalk on Colt next to
the apartment building.
Tabled for further Qualification,
on advice of their attorney, STAN
ton Adams, was a request for
limited use of the driveway at
1888 Melbourne rd. by Mrs. Mar
garet Marshall and Mrs. Josephine
Meena, owners of the property.

preliminary front is announced by

Mr.. Coates adds, "Be sure TO

better the chance Of winning"
Two types of tickets will be
available again this year. One is
the car ticket, which is given with
every local purchase Of one dollar
or more. Other type is the strip

Inspections consume only two
minutes Of the motorists time.
At the various check points in
the city, cars are tagged down by
police and examined for faulty
brakes, horns, rear view mirrors,
windshield wipers, lights, tires,
steering gear, glass and exhaust
systems.
Cars free from defects are
tagged with 81 vehicle safety

will be given ~ hours to remedy
the hazards.
On countrywide basis the safety
program, which continues through

Gets $500
Fellowship

Gilbert Z. Corrigan of 13540
Superior rd., a member of the 1860
class in the College of Medicine,
Ohio State University, has been
awarded a March of Dimes fell
lowship of 5000 for special re-

of the Cuyahoga County chapter
of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis.
The fellowship will finance
extra-curricular study for II
weeks for Mr.. Corrigan at the
University in Columbus. Purpose
of such awards is to interest
medical students in careers in re-
search by giving them special op-
portunities for study in this field
early in their schooling. Mr.. Cor
rigan was nominated by the dean
of his school.
Such student fellowships are
awarded to two candidates from
each approved medical school of
the nation, who have completed
at least one year of their medical
course and who can devote two to
three months full time to train
inc i'm research.
March of Dimes awards and

Your handle bars, plus other fea-
lures on your bike, will be checked

East Cleveland's portable BIZ
cycle inspection lane is the first
such machine in northern Ohio
and only the, second in state, ac-
cording to Police Chief H. S.
Weaver. Cincinnati initiated it's
use not long ago and pronounced
it a major safety control, he said.
Purchased at cost of $1,250, it
is joint gift from the East Cleve-
land Safety Council and the Fra
ternal Order of Police.
Sergeant William Hartfor d,
safety education officer, will be in
charge of the testing programs.
Prime purpose of the machine,
he said, is to reduce bicycle acci-
dents. Eighteen to twenty bike
and motor vehicle collisions are
listed on the local police records
every summer. How many hun
dreds of other accidents involving
bicycles alone would be difficult
to estimate, he stated, adding that
the lane also will be on display for
community inspection at the East
Cleveland Picnic next month.
