Train Child To
Play Away From
Stree" et"-Weaver

Few Ohio motorists realize
that June is one of the heaviest
months for traffic deaths. Last
year in Ohio there were 184,
compared to 161 in May, and
10 in July. Almost two out
Of three June fatalities oc-
Cured in rural areas, accord
ing to Chief H. S. Weaver.
Last June there were Is
youthful pedestrians killed in
traffic. Undoubtedly, most of
these accidents occurred inside
Of communities. The C h e f
urged that all drivers keep
their speed below the posted
legal limit in residential areas.
Youngsters are out Of school
now. They are free of the
restraint of school-boy patrol
and crossing guards. T h e y
sometimes make the mistake
Of feeling that the quiet resi-
Dental street on which few
vehicles travel is a good place
to play.
The chief also urged all
parents of small children to
train them to play inside of
the sidewalk-that is, as far
away from the street proper
as possible. Then there will
be less chance that the young
ster may innocently stray into
the street and be hurt.
"Drive with care. Keep alert
where children are playing"
urges Weaver.

Both Police And
Firemen Answer
This Auto Call

Both police and fire depart
nent were called into action
when an auto failed to nego-
tiate a curve on Elm ave. about
2:3O p. m. June 9th. The west
bound vehicle, driven by Cinto
Ferraccioli, 787 East 154th ST.,
jumped the curb, traleved 64
feet along the tree lawn, and
took sudden turn directly
across the road when it felled
No Stop sign. Riding over the
toppled sign caused a leak in
the gas tank, and when the car
came to a stop against a
house at 1902 Elm, the Sta
tion No. 2 fire department had
to be summoned to treat the
spilled gasoline TO avoid a pos
sible fire.
Mr.. Ferraccioli, his wife and
infant child, miracuously es-
capped injury.

papers. On the second floor he
smelled gas. In a flash he was
off to City Hall to alert the
police. Within a brief space OF
time the East Ohio Gas Co. serv-
ice crew had shut off the gas
and located a leak in the house
line. One Of the crewmen COM
mented: "Lucky no one struck
a match"
AS far as could be ascertaired,
but one of the 16 adult tenants
had left for work at that early
hour, and many of the other Is
were still asleep.
Tom remains calm amidst the
praises being heaped upon him
for quick and calm response. As
one tenant puts it: Someone
would surely have been hurt"
Tom is the eldest of the six
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Maur-
ice Toohig of 1902 Rosemont rd.
He will be in the eighth grade
at st. Philomena's School this
fall and he is an altar boy and
sings in the choir at his church.
Softball fans will remember
him as the catcher for 1857 Lit
tie League Firemen champions
. and the lad who, when out
for month after being hit with
a ball bat, was more concerned
about his teams standing than
his own injuries. This year Tom
is catching with Bob Kennedy's
Pony League entry.

$3.50 Get
Free Chest
x-RayHere

The free chest x-ray pro-
gram for 1858 has drawn to a
close in East Cleveland and
according to reports issued by
Miss Louise Barthold, chairman
of the survey, it was a success
full venture.
In public statement re-
leased by Miss Barthold, it was
noted that a total Of $3.50
persons in East Cleveland took
advantage of the chest x-ray
program while the units were
located here.
Miss Barthold pointed out
that while the total taking ad-
vantage of the program this
year was somewhat below that
of last year, the result is most
satisfactory. 1t indicated to
authorities she sayqs that
there were still many persons
who are interested in protect
ing their own health as well
as protecting the health of the
community in general.
The committee chairman
praised all the volunteers who
assisted during the time the
units were located in East
Cleveland and said that it was
her feeling that a survey such
as this one could not possibly
succeed without the devoted
assistance and support of these
volunteer workers.
DR.. James p. Winkler, di-
rector Of health of East Cleve-
land, said that he was quite
pleased with the way that
people had turned out for the
free chest x-rays. He said that
he would have been more
pleased had the goal of 1900
been reached but that those
who did participate in the pro-
gram indicated a general feel
ing of the value of chest x-raysl
in the tracking down of tu-
berculosis.
DR.. Winkler pointed out that
all persons who took advantage
of the free health program
would be getting reports of
the results of their individual
X-ray within a matter of a few
weeks. He said that all Of the
films taken in the East Cleve-
land area are now being read
and studied by a staff Of highly
trained physicians at the Coun-
ty tuberculosis Clinic and that
just as soon as the results
could be tabulated the cards
would be mailed to all who par
ticipated.
Mr.. William Lewis, Public .
Relations Chairman for the
Anti ti-Tuberculosis League, re-
ported that last year Of the |
6,855 x-rays taken here, 6,552 |
were satisfactory; 27 suspect
ed cases Of tuberculosis were |
revealed; 119 non-tuberculous |
chests were listed and diagno-
sis was deferred on 125 X
rays, pending further study.
