In East Cleveland

Judge Margaret Spellacy of the
Cuyahoga County Probate Court
made it straight from the shoul-
der when she told the Exchange
Club last week that "The best
crime prevention is parental su-
pervision".
Recently another speaker said
that those first few years during
which a child spends partically
every minute in the home, is the
testing time for the parents since
a child is never too young to be
taugh right from wrong.
One Of the vital undertakings
of Exchange Of East Cleveland
is it's Freedom Shrine exhibit.
Americans should always remem-
Der that their America Of today
was founded and has been fost-
tired by men of great wisdom,
understanding and vision, and
often with sacrifice.
Despite the weather and
their own busy schedules, vol
unteers seeking adult partners
for the East Cleveland YM-
YWCA are trying to contact
as many persons as possible.
However, if you have decided
that here is a proposition worth
an investment, namely Chris
tian training of youth, don't
wait for your doorbell to ring.
Just drop your check in the
mail, addressed to the YM-
YWCA, 1881 Lee blvd, East
Cleveland IL, Ohio. Every dol
lar invested in a girl or boy
pays far more dividends than
the best gold edge stock on
the market.
How many Shaw folk having
, family or friends, also Shaw
folk, living in Los Angeles
have told them about Martha
Robb McGillen's letter in last

point of sending Martha the

Two Parties On
goth Anniversary

Two birthday celebrations
and her usual going to Church
on Sunday might have downed
a younger person but not Mrs.
Edward Kollfrath of 1742
Elsinore ave. She took them
in her stride to prove that one
can be "90 years young" On
the birthday date, February
18th, Mrs. Kollfrath was feted
with a birthday dinner by Miss
May Lawrence at her home,
1920 Noble I'd. for a small COM
pany of close friends. Valentine
appointments in the red and
white color scheme predomi-
mated.
On Sunday, the second birth
day observance was in the form
of an open house at Kollfrath
home, 1743 Elsinore ave. with
her daughter, Miss Edith Kohl
frath and her daughter and SON.
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Cedric
Edwards of Mentor as hosts.
Among the any gifts
showered upon her and the
birthday greetings that came
from far and near, probably the
most cherished was the birth
day telegram from DR.. and Mrs
M. Wayne Mcqueen of Winter
Park, Florida. DR.. Mcqueen
was minister at Windermere
Methodist Church for 16 years
and the Kollfraths have been ac.
tive there since they came to

Health Department Reports:

The year 1858 was a good
year, healthwise, for East Cleve-
land. The annual report of the
East Cleveland Department OF
Health shows increases where
the "up" scale is desired, and
decreases where the down" fl
gure means progress. DR.. James
P. Winkler is the director OF
Health.
Important is the fact that in
1858 the city passed its fourth
straight year without a polio in
cident, and during the year the
city went all out in the admin
istering of the Salk injections.
When the spring survey showed
that about one-fourth of the
school children had not received
the full protection of shots, the
East Cleveland Community Coun-
Gil acted to rectify this situation
by sponsoring two polio pro-
grams. PTAs aided. As a result
785 persons, including adults re-
ceived shots and the city gave
shots to 355 employees, and 227
at the Well Baby Clinic.
Two injections are considered
a basic dose. The third and the
f fourth shots are considered
boosters" in the definition OF
the Ohio State Health Depart.
ment. Many have received two
others three, and some -four
doses.
Despite this encouraging polio
report, the department will con-
tinue its prevention program.
During the year the East
Cleveland H e lth Department
took advantage Of the new state
prevention program against re-
curing attacks of rheumatic
fever. Fifteen such cases were
under treatment here.
A new tuberculosis case find.
ing program in the county was
approved by the six health dis,
Itricts (of which East Cleveland
lis one) and the Academy o.
Medicine. The decreasing prevail,
ience of tuberculosis is resulting
from the more efficient case find.
ing methods and use of new
drugs. Twelve new cases were
listed here last year. In 1855
there were II new cases. Surveys
include schools, nursing homes
and homes for the aged.
Plans are in progress TO tuber-
culin test selected school grades
and the Well Baby Clinics.
The Well Baby Clinic is held
Wednesday mornings at Huron
Road Hospital. Last year S2e
babies visited the clinic while six
children came for polio injections
only. In 1858 polio injections
were given to 227 children, as
one result of the emphasis or
Salk injections.
Epidemics of Staphylococca,
infections in newborn infants anc
in their mothers is seriou:
problem throughout the United
States, the report indicates. The
Ohio State Department is as
sisting local departments II
meeting this situation. Two sucf
cases were reported in East
Cleveland last year.
