Very Quiet" Here
Hallowe’en Night
Police Are Happy
“Very quiet.’
Such is the report of East Cleve
land police of Halloween in East
Cleveland. Complaints reached a
new low. The children, say police,
were too busy devoting energy and
time to that old Halloween tradi
tion, begging, to get into mischief.
From the appearance of the bags
which the children lugged, they
had a big night. Fruit, cookies,
candy, etc., were handed out at
practically every door where they
stopped in their happy trouping
through their respective neighbor
hood. Strange to say, the few
instances where actual damage was
done, is credited to boys old enough
to know better.
In one instance four children,
varying in age from 9 to 11 years
of age, damaged a total of 69 win
dows in Cleveland Transit System
vehicles at the Windermere yard.
Parents of the children will meet
the damage involved, a total of
$115.
In another instance children
filled rolls of paper with sulphur
and tucked them into a milk chute.
The flames smothered before they
could get a good start, thus avert
ing what might have been a serious
fire.
Chief of Police Weaver says,
“Thank you,” to the children who
responded so unitely to his pre
Halloween appeal to have a good
time without doing damage to life
or property.
“To the. boys and girls in the
hospital,” was written on the card
tucked in a half-bushel of apples
brought to Huron Road Hospital
by a group of children. They were
sharing their Hallowe’en “begging”
loot with the kids who could
get out and join the fun.

Thank Donors To

Through this medium, John Pok

Snyder and W. V. Cumler, vice
chairman, wish to express their
sincere appreciation for the splen
did co-operation and untiring ef
forts of the captains and workers
who served in the 1949 Community
Chest Campaign.
There is nothing glamorous, they
point out, about the hard work of
raising funds. Every volunteer goes
into the job knowing that it is
a community service that must be
done. It pays off, however, in a
particular way, the satisfaction of
having had a part in a great hum
anitarian cause.
Thanks again all volunteers and
East Clevelanders who shared in
this community effort which up to
Monday totalled $9,700 toward a
goal of $10,000.

State Issue To
Be Voted Tuesday
Among the ballots the voter will
receive at the polls next Tuesday
is one bearing three state issue*.
,„JThe most clamor has been made
over the proposed law to permit
the coloring of oleomargerine. The
butter lobby defeated the bill in
the legislature, and by petition it
has been submitted to the voters of
the state.
Most butter is colored and most
housewives see no reason why oleo
shouldn't be colored by the manu
facturer.
Another proposed law would
permit the election of additional
probate judges in counties where
the population warrants. Primari
ly the bill is intended for Cuyaho
ga County. An additional judge is
needed here. Vote Yes.
The third state issue is the Mas
sachusetts ballot. All candidates
would appear on one list with des
ignation of party after their names.
Most of the political bosses are
opposing this bill which was placed
on the ballot by petition. We be
lieve this type of ballot would make
for the selection of better public
