Cleveland 10
Smith
Bounce

Due 10 technicalitIes there
may be no competition in the
election for East Cleveland
seats this fall.
Only one person declared
himself a candidate for the
November election other than
the incumbents and that person
made the declaration too late
according to the Board of Elec-
tions.
Kenneth L. A. Smith, Jr.,
sales manager for the Over
head Door Company of Cleve-
land, has been barred from the
ballot along with 25 other
hopeful candidates. The tech
nicality which has disquali-
fled Smith and a number Of
other candidates resulted from
new state law which requires
candidates to file declaration
of candidacy prior to the date
their petitions are signed.
Smith said that once he. is
officially notified he will appeal
his case to the Board, so far he
informs US all he knows about
the action is what he "reads in
the papers"
Smith said the mix-up arose
because he was not aware of
the law and no one told him
that such action was necessary.
He said that candidates are
not given any forms to follow
with any requirements listed.
He further states that he
asked all the questions at the
Board of Elections regarding
regulations and procedures, sig
nature verifications and so
forth that he could think of.
Asking about the particular
qualification which disbarred
him never occurred to him be
cause he had no way of know
ing such a step was necessary
Smith says that he presented
himself in person and verbally
declared himself a candidate
and no one told him anything
else about candidacy. They just
handed him his forms and sent
him on his way. He feels that
many of the other disbarred
candidates had the same expe-
rience and they certainly would
have followed instructions if
specific instructions were made
available.
Regardless of how the Board
may rule, Smith is still inter
ested in public office and hopes
to run when the opportunity
arises again. Next time he'll
be forewarned.

1t is a nondenominational
private home designed to pro-
vide family-type communal liv.
ing for both single people and
married couples over 65 years
Of age. Residents Of East
Cleveland with no living chill
dren are given first preference
when admittance to the home is
being considered.
The trend has been for more
women to take advantage of
the home than men according
to Miss B. R. Fitz, assistant
secretary and treasurer Of the
home.
The present building was
opened in 1941 to better meet
the stringent requirements
of the East Cleveland Fire
Department. 1t varies from
two to three stories due to
the land formation on which
it was erected.
Some of the physical prop

hotels I've visited"
Eight tables are set up to
accommodate members Of the
family. A colorful centerpiece
is visible on each one and wait
resses scurry about serving the
meals.
Each resident gets a private
room and may furnish it any
way she desires if she has the
means to do so, otherwise the
administration furnishes the
room.
On the main floor there is a
large carpeted lounge with
sofas, chairs, a television set,
grand piano and even a curio
cabinet.
Off this lounge is an oblong
screened-in porch where men,
bers of the family often go to
do their needlework or just sit
and enjoy a refreshing breeze,
good view, and some more So

sorry in Denmark and most stu
dents go beyond that. English
Swedish and German are re.
quired languages in her school
The students begin learning q
language in their first year ot
school and continue with il
while adding yet another each
year as their schooling prog.
resses.
Although Kristen speaks
English very we'll she admits
that understanding what is be.
ing said to her seems to be
easier than expressing herself
in the language.
Her sister Birte is studying
political science in college
Women have the right to vote
in Denmark and hold a variety
of jobs the Scandinavian teen
ager told us.
Over 700 students came
over on the exchange pro-
gram with Kristen. She said
that they had a wonderful
time on the boat and danced
every night of the voyage.
H er nearest cOuntryman,
whom she met on the boat, is
Svend Lauritsen who is stay
ing with a family in Rocky
River. Their foster families
are planning some sex
change" visits of their own.
Kristen was telling about a
bottled drink at home which is
quite popular. 1t is called lem
on squash and tastes much like
lemonade. Another popular soft
drink is called Jolly Cola but
she says that it isn't similar
to our cola drinks here.
Kristen has brought some
books with her having maps and
sundry information on her ma.
tive land and is quick to illus.
trate when she talks, helping
to make the point she is max.
ing more graphic.
Introducing her TO the
"crOwd" and getting her ac-
quainted with the teachers
and procedures at Shaw High
School will be the happy task
of sister Sharon, who is en-
tering her senior year.
Gary will be off to study ar
chitecture at the University of
Cincinnati.

ting acquainted with Shaw. He
is entering his first year there
after finishing up at Kirk Ju-

will see that Kristen gets to
meet the younger generation
in the neighborhood.
Besides visiting the cinera-

Fyn is the island on which
the village of Brenderup is To-
Gated. Therefore, many of the
things that may be new to
Kristen can be explained as the
result of living in a city with
a population close to $4,000 as
compared to the 1000 inhabi-
tants of her home town.
Some of the things which her
American family, the Doles of
2072 Newbury dr., had already
introduced to her since her ar
rival Thursday and our inter
view Monday morning were:
Cd Angel foodcake
CD Automatic dishwasher
CD Slang words, such as:
Hi, kids, and guy.
Sharon, also 16, took Kristen
to a pajama party which was
something completely new to
her. Kristen says she would
like to introduce the custom to
her girl friends in Denmark.
All the learning and ex-
change of cultures hasn't heen
one way. Kristen has been the
reason for the Doles serving
cheese with each meal. In Den
m ark, Kristen explained
cheese is eaten with the meal
in much the same way that
bread is taken with meals
here.
AS far as meals go, Kristen
observed that there is more va
riety in number of foods avail
able and the ways to prepare
them than in Denmark. She
said that most foods in her
country are boiled.
The countries that she has
visited with her parents, IT.
year-old sister and 12-year-
old brother include Norway,
Sweden, Holland, Austria,
Belgium, France and Italy.
Kristen commented that
Italy is her favOrite Euro.
pean country with the ex-
ception of Denmark, of
course" she added with a
ready smile.
She says that the thing that
stands out in her mind when
she thinks about Italy is the
presence Of so many links with
the past such as the Coliseum
and the buildings and works Of
art from the Renaissance.
The alert blonde beauty be-
longs to a jazz club at home.
She says that there are many
such clubs in the smaller COM
munities and that those who ap-
preciate jazz go to the sessions
to hear what the local band
has to offer jazz-wise.
In the larger cities the rec
ords of Louie Armstrong and
Lionel Hampton are popular.
Some American jazz artists
have made appearances in Cop
enhagen.
The schools sponsor relative
ly few dances a year. 1t is the
jazz clubs that provide the
dances Kristen informs us.
In addition to her native
Danish language, Kristen
has studied and speaks Eng
lish, Swedish, German and
French. She has also taken
some Latin. Her goal is to
be a commercial correspond
ent for a Danish business
firm and therefore she is
working at learning other
languages and perfecting
her use of those with which
she is already familiar.

years of education is compul-

Radiation Hoard
Worse for Children

by Or. Lewis. Only 10 cases
OF thyroid cancer developed
in the 1907 children involved
In the study who had re-
ceived the chest x-rays for
the serious thymus defect.
The 1902 brothers and sisters
Of these children who had
not had x-ray therapy had
no incidence Of thyroid can
Ger whatsoever.
Scientific opinion seems
generally agreed that. while
x-ray diagnosis and therapy
should be kept at a mimi
mum, the positive benefits In
saving countless lives Of both
adults and children certainly
justify their employment.
Children Susceptible
The committee also was in
formed that the unborn child
is the most susceptible to
man-made radiation result
ing from fallout. Next In line
are infants and children.
The more obvious and dan
gerous elements in fallout
are Strontium 90 and Radio
iodine l31. The iodine l3l
has a short life. but Stron-
tium 80 will remain to con-
taminate our atmosphere for
more than a generation, once
it Is released in a nuclear
bomb explosion.
Children, infants and the
unborn child tend to absorb
iodine l3l ih the thyroid at
several times the rate it is
absorbed by adults. In the
past 5 years, the amount Of
iodine 131 estimated from
nuclear debris makes it likely
that the younger segments
of our population had abb
sorbed double the amount Of
iodine l3l in addition to the
normal amount Of iodine in
the natural background radi-
alton.
This means that among
the 10000, 900 children born
in the United States since
the atomic age from 80 to
1900 cases of thyroid cancer
may develop.
The contamination levels,
according to the opinions Of
most of the scientists who
testified at the hearing. has
not yet reached a level that
warrants alarm. However, all
scientists and the Congress-
man agreed that it is a mat
ter of grave concern.
1.-THE Soundest basis on
which to proceed at the pres
ent time" according to DR..
Brues. seems to be to take
the worst assumptions that
can have a reasonable basis
and then try to estimate a
balance between the benefit
and necessity of any pro-
cedure and the conceivable
harm"
