81 TOLD YOU So" is what
Municipal Judge Stanton Ad-
dams could say to state law Of
ficials if he were the type.
The reason is that a case has
come up in the East Cleveland
Court that portrays the problem
local law enforcement agencies
must cope with due to the pres
ent state statutes.
Here is what happened: A
man was recently arrested by
East Cleveland police for driv-
ing while intoxicated. His un-
steady and dangerous driving
down Euclid ave., during the
wee hours of the morning
caused two cruising patrolmen
to arrest him.
Tests indicated the man taken
into custody was not under the
influence of alcohol. A search
of his person and car netted
certain pills. The charge was
then changed to driving while
under the influence of narcotics.
Meanwhile, an analysis of the
pills showed they could not be
considered narcotics. Yet, it
was evident, the persons be-
havior was the result of taking
these particular pills which
while containing a drug, did not
bear what is legally defined as
narcotics.
AS such, the police could only
charge the person with reckless
driving. This emphasizes the
need in changing the traffic
laws as Judge Adams is Wig
orously attempting to do. The
law as it stands according to
Judge Adams does not interdict
against operating a motor We
hicle while under the influence
Of drugs.
PROCLAMATIONS. One of
the hazards of being a chief
. executive of a municipality as
City Manager Charles A. Carran
will tell you is wedding through
all special weeks and days that
doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs
would have you proclaim. If
nothing else, after you have
been in the business as long as
Mr.. Carran has, you can become
an astute observer of history.
For instance, did you know
that the Bill of Rights became
effective December 10Th, 1871
and next month will be the
169th birthday Of that docu-
ment?
It is we'll that these anniver-
saries and historical dates be
remembered, but if you con-
slider one, you must consider all
Our thinking is that Independ-
ence Day would take care OF
such occasions.
THANKSGIVING. Tomorrow
is a day when the world turmoil
is replaced by gastronmical rum
blings as we try to digest too
much turkey and all the trim
mings. While it is a day foI
feasting and relief from all
problems, let's not forget that
the holiday is for giving thanks
! for the plenty in our midst
The trouble being, however, is
one day enough to count all the
blessings that we who live In
this great country have? !,
