The simple and sensible fire
safety measures to enable hos
pital staffs to know what to dc
RIGHT NOW when fire breaks
out, is being demonstrated to
the staff at Huron Road Hos
pital today by the originator OF
this unique system, Lieut.
Robert McGrath, for more thar
% years member of the fire
department in Chicago. For Il
of these years the lieutenant
has served on a rescue squad
and also has four years of hos
pital inspecting to his credit.
Taking his methods to one
hospital, his techniques have
spread to hundreds of hospitals
in 20 cities of 18 states. Con-
.ducting day long training ses-
sions now takes much OF his
time.
Based on his theory that most
evacuation planning is too i'm.
mersed in theory, he believes
in the simple technique of how
to cope with waste basket OIL
similar small fires, or how to
remove one patient, before con.
templating the problems of po.
tential conflagration and mass
evacuation.

Curriculum
Expert Here

In a final checking Of their
courses Of study to be filed
with the State Department OF
Education by December 31st,
the principals of the six East
Cleveland Public Elementary
schools, met Wednesday, Nov
ember 10Th in the auditorium
at Rozelle School.
Upon request of the Super
intendent of Schools, DR.. o. ].
Korb anad the principals, Miss
Phila Humphreys, supervisor
Of Elementary Curriculum of
the Ohio State Board of Edu-
walton, was present as a con-
sultant.
Requirement of the filing of
copies of the elementary curric-
ulum is a new one with the de-
partment. Up to now only the
Senior and Junior High curric-
ulums have been required. DR..
Korb reports that copies of the
courses at Shaw and at w. H.
Kirk Jr. High are already in
the hands of the department.
Filing deadline is December
31st.
Commenting on the much
discussed subject of curricu-
lums, DR.. Korb points out that
curriculums are in constant
process of construction in the
East Cleveland Public Schools.
Committees of instructors from
each grade are assigned the re-
sponsibility of keeping in close
touch with educational trends
and needs. When a definite de-
cision is reached as to a change
in a course, the need of new
texts or supplementary mate
rial, the committee makes a re-
port to the board of education,
which, upon the recommendation
of the superintendent, prompt
ly orders the suggested COM
plies. Text books usually out
mode themselves over a five
year period. In today's fast
moving progress, requirements

Jack Baker.
.PatroIn1an>
Will Resign

I Jack Baker, probably one o1
the best known among "the
city's finest" is retiring as OF
January 1st, 1859. He broke
the news to Chief of Police H
IS. Weaver Wednesday morn
ing. Mr.. Baker is still having
trouble with the leg injured
in a freak accident last May
when his own car ran him
down when it suddenly backed
out of the driveway while Mr..
Baker was draining the radi-
atOr.
In accepting Mr.. Bakers
resignation, Chief of Police
H. S. Weaver said: "Jack Baker
has served the city and the
citizens faithfully and we'll. He
has been a conscientious patrol
man, devoted to duty. During
the years he has won the
friendship of thousands of our
citizens, many of them as
school children guided over a
crossing, and many of them as
the children of these children
grown-up. 1t is with extreme
regret that we accept his
resignation"
Jack Baker was appointed
patrolman on May Oath, 1920
and two years later was as
signed to the traffic depart
ment. For the next % years he
was the traffic officer at the
busy Euclid ave.-Superior I'd.
crossing, the heaviest travelled
intersection in town.
In 1914 Baker was trans
ferred to the Shaw-Euclid in
tersection, another busy cor
ner, with Shaw High School
and Prospect Elementary pu-
pills in his charge.
He held this assignment un-
til the accident last May, as a
result Of which he spent many
weeks in Huron Road Hospital.
Mr.. Baker has served the
East Cleveland Fraternal Order
of Police Lodge in several ca
pacities, including that of
president.
The Bakers reside at 1873
Rutland ave., NE.

School Buses
Limited To
Schools Only

Members Of the East Cleve
land Board of Education made
a day of it on Friday, Novem.
Der 14th. During the morning
they visited the several school
buildings, checking the big pro-
gram of renovations and re-
pairs which were completed
during the summer months
N. F. Leist, assistant to the
superintendent, served as
guide, he being in charge of
this program.
At noon the board members
were the guests of the Foods
Class at Shaw High School, the
meal being served in the de-
partment's own dining room.
The faculty member in charge
is Mrs. Mary Ellen Kaull.
During a brief business meet
ing held during the afternoon,
the board complimented Mr..
Leist, for the excellent man
ner in which the unusually
heavy summer program had
been handled.
Acting on a report from Mr..
Leist that he had received a
number of requests from out
side school groups for use of
school buses, the board put in
to motion it's policy on such
rentals, namely: No school We
hicles may be used for any than
school use.
Two reasons exist for this
stand. First, the State of Ohio
provides school vehicle license
tags without charge, and does
not permit the use of free
tagged vehicles for any pur-
pose other than that for which
the tags are issued. Also, in
surance coverage on vehicles is
limited to school use only.
The board approved the rec
ommendation of the East Cleve-
land Library Board Of Trustees
on the re-appointment of John
D. Walworth as member, his
term expiring this year. 1t also
approved the appointment of
Hamilton Beatty to fill out the
unexpired term Of Ralph Com
ey. Mr.. Comey, whose term
continued to November 1861, is
moving from the city.
The board granted the re-
quest of Station WATG in Ash
land to broadcast the Shaw
basketball game to be
here, December 9th.

What is your choice for that
holiday feast: a frozen stuffed
turkey or a home-stuffed bird
In either case, DR.. James P.
Winkler, Director Of Health,
has some advice for you. His
information is based on reports
from the U. S. Public Health
Service and the American Insti-
tute of Baking.
When roasting a frozen
stuffed turkey, a minimum tenn
perature Of 165 degrees Fahren-
heit must be reached in the
center of the stuffing. This
"lethal temperature" destroys
harmful bacteria, DR.. Winkler
said.

Lost Boy
Back Home

The week during which Rich
ard Maiden, II, was lost, and
while police and parents were
searching for him, he was no
further away than the West
21st st. area, Cleveland.
He had been sleeping in a
cement sewer near Calvary
playground. He received his
food from young friends he
met and played with in the
area, and to whom he posed as
Jim Campbell, a new boy in
the neighborhood.
Detectives William DeForde
and Paul Green picked him up
Tuesday afternoon in the home
of one of his new friends, Don
Smithisler, jr., Ia, of 1924
Forestdale ave-, Mrs. Smiths
ler became dubious and was
certain after seeing Richards s
picture in a newspaper.
Don gave his new found
friend an old jacket and pair
of Lewis to wear.
Richard told detectives that
he was to have an operation for
cist on his neck, and school
mates at Kirk had warned
him it was going to hurt. So
| he walked off Wednesday
morning, November 18th,
boarded the rapid to the
Square and walked west.
The boy is ward of the
county and lives with his
father and step mother at 1862

|Ice> Thursday?
1t All Depends
IOn Weatherman

While the fellow who pays
the fuel bill may be happy with
this above-normal November
weather, followers of ice skat-
ing are hoping for at least four
days of cloudy weather with an
UNDERGO degree temperature
prior to Thanksgiving Day.
These cloudy, UNDERGO de-
grees days are an absolute ne
cessity if the city's new ice rink
is to open as scheduled; at
$3.50 a. m. Thanksgiving Day
morning. And this from no less
an authority than j. E. Barnes,
superintendent of the Ea 5 t
Cleveland Water Department.
Mr.. Barnes explains that it is
impossible to freeze the orig
inal slab of ice in the new rink
without a big asset from the
weather. But after the first
slab is solid, the between skat-
ing sessions will provide suffi-
cient time, with normal winter
temperatures, to maintain a
hard skating surface.
The ice slab is built up, lay
err by layer. Water is sprayed
over the piping, to form a COM
paratively thin layer. 1t stands
until frozen. Then, layer by
layer, the slab is built up to the
required thickness. This is a
slow but excellent process, as
suring a firm foundation for
the winter long outdoor rink,
explains Mr.. Barnes.
City officials and Communi-
ty Councils Municipal Affairs
Committee are all set for that
$3.50 a. m. Thanksgiving Day
date with the skating populace
Of East Cleveland. It's all up
TO the weather man.
