He said, he would appreciate
calls or letters from those in
terested and further announce
ments will be made as to the
dates of the trials.
Actually there will be four
different trials based on the
most common of traffice viola
tions.

Judge Adams, with the assist
ance of Det. Capt. Patric k
OMalley and panel of lawy-
ers.

Better that the city manager
didn't ask for here is what Pol
lock wrote back:
81 have checked with our
schedule department as to the
amount of riding carried on the
three morning and afternoon
trips. The check showed that an
average of "a passengers was
carried on the first morning
trip; 43 passengers on the sec
ond trip and 81 passengers on
the third morning trip.
1.-THE first afternoon trip car
ried an average of 25 passen-
gers; the second an average of
80 passengers and the third trip
only II passengers.
Doesn't Warrant Continuation
"This amount of riding GER
tainly does not warrant the con-
tinuation of this service but we
are willing to continue the three
morning trips and the first two
afternoon trips for a while
longer. The third afternoon trip
is so poor that we are making
preparations to discontinue it
on January l6, 1861"
Pollock concluded his note by
asserting CTS was most appre-
ciative of the interest Mr.. Car
ran had shown and that he hopes
that riding will increase to an
extent that will permit the
transportation company to re-
tain the five trips.
However, indications are there
is no hope for the third after
noon excursion - the one that
only averaged II passengers.

Weather Slows
Local Traffic

A general showdown in traf.
fic due to slippery road condi.
tions, but no serious local acci.
dents, has been reported by East
Cleveland Police Chief H. S
Weaver.
"Of course the fender bender
type accidents could easily have
been lot more serious" the
thief cautioned, land hope
this recent taste of winter will
serve as a good reminder: Sum-
mer is gone, and summer driv-
ing habits should be put away
for another year.
"Slow down in traffic, leave
more room between your car
and the car ahead. keep your
windows and windshields clear.
Otherwise it's going to be a
nervous and dangerous winter. "
"Just enough snow makes
mountains out of molehills, and
turns slight grades into first
class headaches when it comes
to moving traffic" the chief
commented, 'even though the
trouble spots are plowed or
sanded as soon as humsnfy
possible.

Last Cleveland Finance Di-
rector G. T. Apthorp chose an
opportune moment to ask the
city commissioners for a trans
fer Of funds Tuesday night.
His request came after Com
mission President Frank H.
Fellows told how getting back to
Our Town from a Columbus auto
trip was q great relief.
Mr.. Fellows praised the condi-
ton of the East Cleveland roads,
commenting on the abundance of
salt and the lack of snow.
THAT was a very nice compli-
ment," said our shrewd finance
director, "but to keep our streets
in such fine shape costs money"
Mr.. Apthorp then asked that
the commissioners transf e r
$4,000 from the general fund to
street construction, maintenance
and repair fund for snow re-
moval.
He pointed out that for the
past three years snow removal
expenses have been running in
the $4,000 neighborhood. Now,
because Of the heavy snow
during the past week, plus
heavy storms in March, the snow
removal bill will be close to
$4,000 this year.

The commission meeting was a
routine acceptance of the city
manager es t m a e for 1861
operations.

the Mothers March for 1:
years. She has been a captain
for 5 years and a chairman fol
2 years. Mrs. Randolph lost g
friend with polio and this
aroused her interest in fighting
the disease.
"The New March of Dimes
will concentrate again this
year on birth defects and ar
Thrills, as well as polio," the
new chairman said. "The Mo-
thers' March will take place
on the evening of January 31st
1861. Volunteers for march are
earnestly requested to make a
direct contact with her by tele-
phone at Ii 1-O915 or at the
National Foundation office, $50
anna Building, Cleveland
(TO 1-1440)."
$4,000 Spent
Last years New March of
Dimes campaign made impor-
tant funds available to the Guy
ahoga County Chapter. Over
$4,000 were spent in the
county on research. $4,000 of
this sum were spent on polio
patients and $4,000 on medical
scholarships. Of all the funds
raised in the county since the
March of Dimes began 879o
has been spent within the
county.
Four-year-old Linda Breese,
of Columbus, Ohio, is the Pos
ter Girl for the 1861 New
March of Dimes. Afflicted at
birth with an open spine and
excessive fluid on the brain,
Linda is moving toward a nor
NAL life as a result of surgery
anl therapy at Childrens Hos
pital, Columbus, where New
March of Dimes contributions
support the Foundations first
Birth Defects Center.
Big Task Ahead
"The task before us is enor-
NOUS" the new chairman said.
"each year, approximately 250,
600 American children are born
like Linda Breese, with such
significant birth defects as open
skulls, open spines, or water on
the BRAIN
"More than 100000 of our
neighbors are crippled by arth-
ritis or by some form of rheu-
matte disease which the New
March of Dimes is striving to
ameliorate.
"The thousands of children
and adults who were stricken
with polio in previous years
still need aid. In addition, thou
sands need to be persuaded to
complete their Salk vaccina-
tions in order to escape the
paralysis Of polio.
"This years Mothers March
Of Dimes must succeed as never
before.
"We have faith that the
Foundation, whose program
brought to fruition the break
throughs of the Salk and Sabin
vaccines, will likewise achieve
dramatic results which will
break the hold Of these other
terrible scourges of children and
adults birth defects and arth-
ritis."

In Fast Cleveland

WE USED on S i d r a b e
space this week in reviewing
the happenings in East Cleve-
land the past year and enjoyed
doing same.
Perhaps the most insignifi-
cant event of the many record
ed was our entrance on the
scene. AS those we met were
somewhat wary on what our
approach for news would be,
we in turn stepped cautiously in
preparation of cool reception
to say the least. After all, in the
close to 90 years The LEADER
has been in existence it was the
first time the associate editor
. had been of the male species.
But of course, there was
nothing to fear. The friendly,
courteous and splendid coopera-
ton of everyone was and is
still something sincerely appre-
ciated.
In turn, our hope is thct we
have succeeded in continuing
the fine work our predecessors
have provided in covering this
wonderful city and it's people.
. We feel our approach has not
been too bad in view of the
many personal thanks received
and what's more gratifying the
r nice notes to our bosses.
RESOLUTION. Our one and
only promise for the New Year
is an endeavor to continue the
policy of presenting a news
paper once a week with stories
of East Clevelanders, by East
Clevelanders and for Ea t
Clevelanders.
We especially would like to
emphasize "by East Cleve-
!, landers."
A newspaper such as ours is
more or less a one man opera
ton. We cover public meetings, /
/, make the rounds Of the various
beats and cover civic functions.
AS you can see this does not
leave much time to gather the
equally important news on
what the various clubs and
people in general are up to.
This is where the "by East
, Clevelanders" comes in.
We appreciate the fine con-
tributions on activities in the
city that can't be covered, but
. feel there are many groups and
persons doing things that are
missed.
Therefore, it is desirous to-
, think of everyone in East
Cleveland as correspondent
for The LEADER.
We await your pleasure.
