Look To Repeat
Previous Blood
Bank Deposits

Wednesday, February 18th is
the date set for the return of
the Central Bloodbank's mobile
unit to Shaw High School. AS
in the past, the hours will be
from l to Z p. m. Appointments
to donate a pint of blood may
be made by calling Mrs. Joseph
Klimowski, Blood Recruitment
chairman, at MU. 1882.
In October, when the mobile
unit last visited East Cleveland,
125 pints of blood were donated
by generous citizens. There are
many new Blood Banks being
formed by local churches, or
ganizations, and industries.
This, coupled with the fact that
the constant need for blood is
gradually being realized by
more and more people, perhaps
accounts for the fine response.
However, unfortunate as it
may be-" says Mrs. Klimowski,
"there are people who do not
give blood until the need arises
to replace it for a relative or
close friend. Sometimes it takes
the near-tragedy of illness or
accident to bring to realization
the life-giving Importance of
blood" The serious number of
fires and floods suffered recent
ly in the greater Cleveland area
have taken a toll of blood deri-
vatives from the hospitals
stockpiles when victims of
these accidents have been
treated.
at is the responsibility of all
of us to help others who are
more unfortunate, and blood
giving is equally as important
as a donation of money.
"The pint Of blood donated
on February 18th is exactly like
putting money in the bank. If
you do not happen to need it
yourself, within a year, some
one else can use that particular
pint, but you still have pint
to your credit when you do
want to make a withdrawal.
snake a deposit of a pint of
blood at Shaw High on the 18th
- it's better than money in the
bank!"

"A Visit Home
Ends In Tragedy

A visit home has ended in
tragedy for James Walch, 80, of
North Hollywood, CAL, and his
brother Alan, %, of San Fer
nando, Cal. James died in a
traffic accident and Alan, driver
of the car, has been charged
with manslaughter. The broth
ers were visiting their father,
James Walch of 1745 Chapman
ave.
The Walch brothers moved to
California three years ago.
Home on a visit, they had been
spending the evening with rela-
tives. Enroute home James went
to sleep. AS he awakened he
grabbed the steering wheel,
causing the car to crash into the
rear Of parked tractor-trailer
in front of 2319 Scranton rd.
S.W. He died a few hours later
without regaining consciousness.
The traffic victim is survived
by his parents, a son, James and
his brother, Alan. Services were
held here February 4th.

Time To Sign
Up Next ATS
Host Family

This is for families of teen
age boys and girls.
Would you, as a family, like
to widen your family circle to
welcome a foreign boy or girl
into it for this coming school
year?
The East Cleveland American
Field Service Committee is soon
to choose a host family for its
|1959-60 school year student at
Shaw High School. 1t is eager
to know of families desirous of
participating in this project
which has been so we'll received
by Shaw High School and the
community.
In addition to the usual obli-
cations of parent to child, ATS
sets up a number of qualifica-
tlons, among them these two
which come at the top of the
list:
lis the family truly warm
hearted, is it affectionate within
itself, friendly to others and
with a real liking for young
people and pleasure in their
company.
2-Is it understanding? Is it
aware of what the problems can
be and has it the capacity of
dealing with such problems SEN
sibly and cheerfully?
The parents should be will
ing to assume certain minimum
financial responsibilities and
should also have an interest in
the international aspects Of the
ATS program.

Here Is The why" Of mo
Skating" At Forest Hills

year we have had more snow
than usual.
Another deterrent to safe
ice at the pond is its own water
supply. The water in the lake
comes from storm water drain
age, not from springs. Water
drains from the streets in the
Forest Hill Subdivision in East
Cleveland and Cleveland
Heights. T his underground
water is not as cold as surface
water. 1t also contains all of
the salt that both cities throw
on the streets TO melt snow and
ice. Most of the park land sur
rounding the lake drains be-
low the frost line into the lake.
"The effect of this land
drainage into the lake and the
warm salty sewer water is the
forming of channels in which
water is flowing most, if not all
of the time, under the ice. In a
test made after a few days of
cold weather much of the ice
was four to five inches thick
which was thick enough for
skating, but it was only one
inch thick in front Of the boat
house. During the Christmas
holidays after several days of
very cold weather most of the
ice was 6 to 7 inches thick, but
when the small jeep tried to
clean off the snow the jeep
went through where the ice was
found to be only 2 inches
thick. 1t is important, therefore,
to watch for the red danger
flag at the pond"
Last weekend the ice was in
excellent condition for skating
because very little snow had
fallen.
Ice tests during every cold
spell are made frequently to
determine it's thickness and the
City will continue to clear the
ice for skaters when it is thick
enough to do so, just as they
have in past years.
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1959-02-05

A number of residents have
asked if the City is continuing
to maintain the lake at Forest
Hills Park for skating now that
the new artificial ice skating
rink on Shaw ave-, is in oper-
alton. The answer is eyes" The
Park lake will be available to
skaters whenever the ice is
thick enough for safety.
Unfortunately, because of
snow and lake drainage condi-
tions, there are only a few
days in the winter that the lake
ice is safe. Accurate daily rec
ords kept at City Hall show
that the average number of
skating days for the past 10
years has totaled only 61a days
each winter. This current skat-
ing season to and including
February 4th totals IL skating
days.
During the 1957-5s skating
season there were a total of 26
skating days, but there were
some very low years such as:
1859 with / day; 1872 with
2 days; 1928 with 0 days; and
1854 with 5 days. 1t was be-
cause of this limited skating
that the City decided to build
the artificial ice rink.
The problems encountered at
the Forest Hills pond are nu-
merous and are no different
than in preceding years, City
Manager Charles A. Carran
points out.
A rather long period of SUBJ
freezing temperature without
snowfall is a necessity for good,
safe ice at the pond. If snow
falls before the ice is thick, the
snow acts as an insulating
agent and slows down the
freezing of the ice. Until the
ice is thick enough to hold the
snow cleaning equipment the
snow cannot be removed to give
the ice a chance to freeze. This

George Voinovich, chairman of
the Western Reserve District
BSA invites all parents of scouts
and the public in general, to at
tend this recognition to their
outstanding youth program.
A recent survey shows there
are some 5000 boys in the
Western Reserve District who
have signified their interest in
scouting. In order to compare
favorably with other Councils in
the nation, it will be necessary
for the Greater Cleveland Coun-
Gil to reach some $4,000 boys by
1868. This is so per cent of
estimated total boys available at
that time, states Mr.. Voinovich.

Challenge

The pertinent topic Of the
specific needs of older persons
and how the Cleveland area and
the local East Cleveland COM
munity services these needs will
be the discussion for the Thurs
day, February 18th meeting of
the East Cleveland Community
Council.

SO Traffic
Record Sets
New High

There was an 1l.5Wo decrease
| in the number of motor vehicle
traffic accidents in the City OF
East Cleveland during the year
1858. This figure, reports Lieut.
Robert E. Hall of the Traffic
Division of the Police Depart
ment, compares favorably with
the figures for Cuyahoga Coun-
ty as the county experienced a
|1O% decrease in it's traffic ac-
cidents during the year.
The report, submitted by
Lieut.. Hall and Sgt. VIM. A.
Campbell, also of the Traffic
Division, highlighted the Feb
ruary meeting of the East
Cleveland Safety Council.
Lieut.. Hall said the Traffic
Division is extremely happy
over the 1853 report, which re-
veals the strength Of it's Selec-
tive Enforcement program as
we'll as continuing efforts to
keep motor traffic accidents at
a minimum here.
Damage to Property acci-
dents totaled 766 against $50 in
1857; Damage to Property and
Injury accidents totaled Al
against So the previous year.
Pedestrian accidents were 81,
against so. This is a 400 de-
crease since 1851.
Most accidents, 37% Of the
total, happened on Wednesday
and Friday.
The same two violations which
headed the list Of all causes of
accidents in 1857 again kept
up to top the lists in 1868. They
were u following too closely;
and q failure to grant right
of-way.
Euclid remains the high ac-
cident street in East Cleveland.
1t is a main thoroughfare with
several large cross thorough
fares. Of these the intersections
at Euclid-Superior, Euclid-Shaw
and Superior Hayden were the
high accident ones. Euclid Noble
dropped on the list this year.
Discussing the Superior-Hay
den intersection, Lieut.. Hall ex-
planned that a recent change in
timing Of traffic signals and an
added hesitation signal is al
ready relieving the traffic
problem at this intersection.
East Cleveland experienced
one fatal accident during 1858,
and this was an early morning,
but daylight accident. A motor
lists collided. with a pole, on
Hayden ave., as he is believed
to have fallen asleep at the
wheel. This is a 1870 decrease
from four accidents in 1857,
and a substantially better
one than the county's which had
a 1920 decrease in fatals in
1858.
Alcohol as a factor was pres
ent in only 1.1% of all traffic
accidents. This, stated Hall, in
dicates the type Of patrol effort
put forth by the police depart
ment and the strict sentences of
the court, in all cases of "driv-
ing while intoxicated.
