Accidents Best In County

There was a 7.3 per cent de-
crease in the number Of motor
vehicle traffic accidents in East
Cleveland during 1857, Sgt
Robert E. Hall, of the East
Cleveland Police Department s
Traffic Safety division told the
East Cleveland Safety Com
mittee meeting Monday night,
February 3rd.
Sgt. Hall said this 7.3 pei
cent compares favorably with
the 6 per cent decrease general
in other cities in Cuyahoga
County for the same period.
Injuries by falling were more
than so per cent of all non
vehicular accidents, giving a
strong argument for continued
attack on strengthening the
program in Home Safety.
OF the 952 vehicular acci-
dents here in 1857, 643 occurred

their children. Everyone can
help by respecting authority,
wherever it lies. and by taking
very precaution possible 10
make it difficult for crime TO
Strike You.
"One Of the most effective
methods of preventing crime,
states Chief Weaver, us an
alert public aware of its re-
possibilities and eager to CO.
operate with all law enforce
nent officers" +"
A few ways TO keep alert are
cited, as follows:
Cooperate if stopped by an
officer. Do not be offended at
his questions. He has a reason
for asking them.
Guard your belongings
Keep a list Of all your valu-
bles, with serial numbers when
stamped on the article whether
it be watch or a machine.
Drivers: Lock your car at all
times and the garage door as
well. Never carry tag number
Of key ring. Do not leave ex-
posed packages or clothing in
the car. Lock them in the trunk.
Do not display large sums of
money.
Warn your children about
alking to or riding with,
strangers.
Don't let your teen-age son
or daughter drive without a
license. Not only will you be
held in case Of accident, but it
is teaching the youth 10 disre-
gard law.
Lock that bicycle. Know It's
license and serial numbers.
See TO it that dwelling and
place of business are secure at
night and when you are alb
sent.
Don't carry large sums OF
money on your person. A check
book is safer. Never expose a
roll Of money when paying
bill.
Report 10 police any suspi-
cious person.
Be on guard against fake
promotions.

persons were killed, 112 were
injured and the total economic
loss involved is estimated at
$297,67O.O0.
Wednesdays and Thursdays
were the highest incident days,
accounting for 1928 per cent of

Euclid ave, remains the city's
high accident street with the
intersections of Euclid -Superi-
or. Euclid-Forest Hill and

majority of accident incidents.
Surprising as it may seem,
Sgt. Hall reported that alcoho!
as a factor was present in only
3.4 per cent of all traffic acci-
dents reported in East Cleve-
land. This" he commented,
"is a good indication as to the
type of patrol effort being put
forth by the East Cleveland
Police Department"
Following the presentation of
this report, the Safety Council
made a careful analysis and
many questions were asked of
Sgt. Hall as to what the Coun-
ell can do to help make 1858 a
better year. He urged continu-
ance of its varied educational
programs and publicity.
Plans for a Spring Bicycle
Rodeo program are already
underway by the Council.
Charles j. Logan and Sgt. Hall
were authorized to proceed with
the purchase of trophies, it be-
ing planned to give two trophies
to each elementary school par
ticipating.
The Council is also purchas-
ing a third Disney safety film
in the "I'm No Fool" series.
This one will be the "I'm No
Fool AS A Pedestrian" 1t will
be shown in the schools and
will also be available to adult
groups, since adults also are
lviolators Of pedestrian safety
rules.

The best reason the FBI car
