"The heart Of our work lies
in the scattered little villages, F."
says DR.. Ollie, land our dreams
are in the hands Of the young
men we have trained in these
schools to carry on the work
there
Because the people are de-
pendent upon the soil, says DR..
Ollie, agriculture is one of the
most important subjects they
are taught. "Good field prac-
tices, vegetable gardening, crop
improvement and the know-how
of raising pigs and chickens are
all part of the curriculum"
Born in West Liberty, Q. in
1906, DR.. Carl Ollie was edu-
Gated at Defiance College and

ture, and received his Bachelor
of Divinity degree from Yale
University Divinity School.

Nancy's name and that of hel
sister, Beth. a Shaw Sophomore
were submitted for considera-
tion in the contest by their par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Kerr
of 1888 Forest Hill ave.
Although the Kerrs entered
the contest in April they didn't
receive word until November
that their daughter Nancy was
one of IL, 900 chosen to continue
in the competition.
Then the real work began in
trying to attain the scholarship.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr say they owe
a vote of thanks to those who
wrote letters recommending
Nancy. Among them were Miss
Vida Bayes, principal of Su-
perior; Mrs. William Hachtel,
Nancy's teacher; DR.. Howard
Wells, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church; DR..
Martin Lotus, optometrist, and
DR.. C. W. Wyckoff, pediatrician.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr wrote a
25O-word essay stating why
they thought their daughter
should receive a liberal arts
college education. In their essay
the Kerr's attributed their
daughters spark for learning to
the "fine East Cleveland
schools" and said also that they
felt a college education today
is "must."
Both the kerrs are graduates
of Liberal arts colleges and in
terested in helping youths.
Florence Kerr is president of
the Superior PTA and Bob Kerr
is familiar to many through his
work with the American Field
Service program. They said this
award to their daughter was a
real "boost."

II. -. w cdNeT.
Through glancing at the
monthly traffic reports handed
in during 1859, Chief Weaver
states that it is an easily deter
mined fact that failure to allow
an assured clear distance
ahead or following too closely
is the chief cause of accidents
every month of the year. An
other contributing factor is
changing lanes. Failure to stop
for lights and stop signs is an
other big accident cause.
Chief Weaver feels that ac-
cidents are down during rainy
or foggy weather because driv-
ers are more alert and cautious
at that time because they rea-
lize the dangers of not being
alert to road conditions.
January led the II other
months in the number of acci-
dents. 81 were recorded that
month. Chief Weaver attributes
the high number Of accidents to
weather conditions. April, the
low month saw that figure cut
almost in half.
The chiefs records show that
, no accident pattern as such has
been established any place in
the city. His figures show the

Police
Three Tests
To Challenge
Candidates

As the testing continues, Il
becomes more apparent that n
is not an easy thing to become
a member Of the East Cleveland
police force. Out of the 164
formal applications turned in
originally, only 64 aspirants are
left to continue with the testing.
The lowering Of the age quail
fications from 23 to q in East
Cleveland is credited in part for
bringing the largest number
Of applicants in many years.
Some Of the original candidates
came from as far away as
Painesville, Come eaut, and
Youngstown, personnel director
Robert Moore said.
OF the 159 who took the writ
ten test, the first hurdle on the
road to becoming one of East
Cleveland's men in blue, only
81 passed. The test measures
aptitude and intelligence.
81 men took the athletic test
at Kirk Junior High which at
tempts to determine mans
physical agility as well as
strength through standard army
tests. Only seven failed to pass
that barrier.
The next stage Of the test will
be the medical examinations
which will be given by city
health director, DR.. Fred Suppes-
probably within the next week.
Sometime after the physical
exams, the candidates will be
given polygraph tests and their
backgrounds and references will
be checked.
The final stage of the test
will be the 40-minute oral inter
views 10 be conducted by the
Civil Service Commissioners.
This year something new has
been added to the oral inter
view. A psychologist will aid
the commissioners by speaking
with the men before they talk
to the commissioners. This
method has been used in grant
ing promotions in the police
department with a degree of
success which merits its in
clusion in the original selection
of men for the department, ac-
cording to Robert Moore.
Once the eligibility list is
drawn up, Mr.. Carran will
chose eight men for the police
department. Anytime within the
year in another opening arises
in the police department, man
may be chosen from the eligi-
bility list without another test.
Last year 140 men applied at
the onset, and eight were judged
eligible. Four W ere chosen for
the force.

But" he adds significantly, call this doesn't
really tell us if it's launching bona fide come
back"
I'm nutshell" Mr.. SholeS says, 1--WE don't
know whether the kids are buying the record be-
cause they like it or because it's the one they've
been waiting for ever since ElviS left-the one
that marks his return. We're not sure"
The difference disc shop proprietors say, is
that record should sell on its combined merits,
not just because it's done by particular singer.
That way the singer is the beneficiary and his
follow-up records have better chance.
With "Stuck On You," the attraction, it
seems, is not the record but Elvis
Area teens, for example, almost to a man,
say they're buying "Stuck On YOU to welcome
ElviS back" On the record itself, they say they
expected something different. Just what they
don't know.

a senior at Pallott High School, Laurel, Nd
but it's nothing new"
"It's okay" says Louise Peterson, IS, Sopho-

teen record fans throughout the area. John
Brown, Is, sophomore at J. E. B. Stuart High
School, Falls Church, Va, and Ann Finley, Is, Of
Richard Montgomery High, Rockville, Md. agree.
Many of them say they either have bought it, or
plan to do so, but ''just for ElviS."
A few of course are not disappointed.
1t has "the same Presley beat, and lot of
us think it's better than his Others" say Wilma
Blair, II, of Wheaton (Md) High, and Judy
Ritchie, II, junior at HarriSonburg (Va) High.

the name of it?" says Jeanne Belkin, IS, sopho-
more at Richard Montgomery "Oh yes, like it.
I think he's slowed down on his beat, and like
the slow EviS better The solid ElviS fans are still
behind him all the way"
At the opposite pole are a number of teen
ayers who don't like the record at all.
II think it's the material that's not up to
par" says George Hettenhouse, 18, senior at
Gonzaga High ID. CO.. "The general opinion in
my area is that Stuck on You isn't as good as
others Elvls has made"
'I don't like it. I think it's horrible" says
Stephanie Solari, 16 junior at Notre Dame
Academy Cd. CO.. II don't know why anyone
would run out and buy it, guess it's because it's
ElviS' first record since he got out of the Army.
Now he'll just be one of the gang"
'I think he's seen his best days." says Steve
