Enough Fifty Cent Pieces And The
Accident Prevention Continues

on Free Parking Day when East
Cleveland observed it's Tooth
day minus a traffic fatality. 1t
paid one-third the cost of the
bicycle testing machine. 1t
bought films and other supplies
for safety programs in the
schools and to be used by adult
groups who request them. 1t
bought the coloring books and
prizes for that safety contest
last Spring in the elementary
schools.
Boy, what a lot for a boxful
Of fifty cent pieces.
Yes, but what an investment
is accident prevention. No one
can estimate the accidents
avoided because of this pro-
gram. What is that worth?
East Cleveland police and
many citizens are out with
membership cards. Or, you can
get one at the police headquar-
ters, City Hall.
Safety Council awaits the
count of fifties-to plan more
safety programs.
