IT'S THAT TIME again when
East Clevelanders will join with
natives the length and width
Of the land on the annual assault
on the grand old American
Custom-the picnic.
But before you pack the kids,
the picnic basket, and other
paraphernalia and head for the
wilds of yonder park and its
wooded glen, take heed of the
following tips from DR.. F. T.
Suppes, the city's health direc-
tor:
"Food spoils quickly in hot
weather." he says, "and among
the prime offenders are salads,
cottage cheese, deviled eggs,
chopped meats and cream filled
pastries. Keep these cold.
Remember" Doc Suppe S
adds, Spoiled food spoils pic
nics!"
OCCASIONALLY we get
some interesting data from the
News Service of the National
Education Association and the
Ohio Education Association.
Such is the information on
a taxpayers investment that is
about to pay big dividends.
According to the Education
News Service, the 1884 million
it cost to educate Ohio's cur
rent crop Of 10000 high school
graduates will pay off in S23
billion of earning power.
This, in a sense, is a profit
of more than 1927 billion dur
ing the lifetime Of the high
school graduate as compared to
the initial investment by tax
payers.
Figures compiled by the Ohio
Education Association research
department show that the
10000 students who graduate
this spring from Buckeye public
high schools can expect to earn
an average Of 1851 each
during their lifetime by virtue
Of IL years Of education.
SUNDAY CLOSING. The an
nounced policy of strict enforce
ment of the state Sabbath law
by some neighboring communi-I
ties has caused an unwarrant-
ed fuss.
It is interesting to note that
all the excitement was general
ed by a recent L. S. Supreme
Court decision upholding a
city's right to enforce the state
law that has been on the books
for many years.
What is not appreciated is
the fact Ohio's law is much
more lenient than other states
which were effected by action by
the highest court in the land.
In Our State, those who con-
scientiously observe Saturday
as the Sabbath can close that
day and remain open Sunday.
The strict enforcement policy
Of neighboring communities
was instigated because several
large merchandising houses
was openly flouting the law
Previously the small merchants
who remained open on Sundays
were not bothered.
But now, there is no alterna-
tive but to enforce the law on
the small, family-operated store
as we'll as the big merchants.
So far as East Cleveland is
concerned. the present situation
has little effect inasmuch as
there are none of these big mer-
chandising outlets in Our Town
that have made such a farce
out of the Sabbath observation.
We feel City Manager Carran
is wise in his cautious approach
whereas no local violators will
be accosted until ample study is
made of the problem.
Fortunately. thanks to COM
plete cooperation of local mer-l
chants-the problem is slight
here. Actually. the family-oper-
ated neighborhood store is a
boon to the forgetful housewife
who might run out of necessary
goods on a Sunday.
At the same time, the action
of Cleveland's mayor leaves
much to be desired. He feels
that it is up to the citizens to
go to the expense and trouble
of bringing evidence of violat-
ors to the prosecutor.
This is most certainly police
job and should not be entrusted
to what could be "vigilante
committees"
If the Cleveland Mayor feels
there are not enough gen.
darmes on hand to check Sab
bath law violators, he should
ask council for a bigger police
force rather than depend on
citizens to act as law officers.
If this be his idea on appre-
hending Sabbath law violators,
