FAST AND FUN. That

FAST AND FUN. That
seems to be the best way to de-
scribe a ride in a jet plane
Through the courtesy of Amer.
lean Airlines we had the priv
ilege of buzzing around the sky
and looking down on the clouds
as they caught the reflection
of the setting sun last Satur-
day. No sensation of movement
no noise, just sitting $4,000 feet
above the earth in a comfort
Rble seat, looking at Gods
heaven and being glad to be
alive today when man has been
guided in constructing such
marvels as jet planes.
ALSO MAKING the scene at
Hopkins Airport were City
Manager and Mrs. Carran.
They were seeing off their
grandson (who didn't appear to
be more than five) as he made
a solo flight to Columbus
where his parents were meeting
him. Mr.. Carran explained that
the boy has flown often with
his father but was a little more
excited about is this time be-
cause he was going up in two
engine instead of the usual
four engine plane.
LOCAL NEWS is the aim of
the three newspapers published
by Collinwood Publishing Co.
We like to feel that we are per-
forming a service for our read
ers by providing them with
complete coverage Of local do
ings which they are not able to
get elsewhere. However this
emphasis on LOCAL events can
get out of hand. In looking
through a 1941 volume of our
sister newspaper. The SCOOP,
we noted that the Thursday
edition following the Sunday
invasion of Pearl Harbor men,
toned not one word about it.
Not even what effect this
might have on the young men
in Collinwood.
WEEDS. Those on the East
Cleveland corners Of the Bel
voir-Hillsboro intersection have
come down. Cleveland's section
is still a disgrace and hazard.
Since the city has painted the
fire hydrant located south of
Terrace rd. (between Charles
and Taylor) in vivid colors the
high weeds there can no longer
be considered a hazard as the
fire dept, is sure to be able to
find it, at least for the duration
Of the summer. Wonder what
the neighbors out that way
think of the neglect of that
tree lawn as all the other resi-
dents along there have their
yards spruced up. The weeds
from Forest Hill park still re-
fuse to confine themselves to
the proper side of the Superior
hill fence and can be seen inI
abundance along the sidewalk.
Do not get disheartened when
the first snowfall comes we'll
hardly notice them anymore.
NOT SO OLD granddad but
the only one in the department
is the distinction of Police 1t.
Patriot O'Brien whose daughter
Jo Ann (Steinfurth) gave birth
to daughter Cherl Ann, Feb.
IL. For awhile anyway, 1t.
O'Brien will stand apart from
the other men on the police
force as the only grandfather
in the lot.
STREET WATCHERS, that's
the unofficial title of the adults
who warn youngsters playing
in the street that the police
are on the way. BY the time
the police arrive, the street is
clear and the youngsters do
not have to listen to a talk
about safety from the men in
blue. Once the police leave the
children are free to take their
lives and the nerves OF passing
motorists into their own hands.
When was the last time that
you checked to see where your
child played or spoke to him
about safety?
RECREATION. Their faces
all aglow with pleasure. a
group of elementary-aged
youngsters were seen using an
overhanging branch of near
by tree as a brace or propeller
as they slid from the roof OF a
1860 model car to the ground.
When the owner realized what
was happening and rushed to
the defence of his possession,
the happy little children scat
tered and he was unable to get
their identities. Us? Down on
children No, down on the
parents who allow them to
grow up without maturing and
without guidance.
