THAT
In East Cleveland
Our litter talk for the week:
This is a law that, regardless of
country, we could go along with.
Flipping a cigarette butt onto a
sidewalk in Riga, capital of Lithu
ania, will be provocation for an
officer of the law to tell you to pick
it up or pay a fine. This interesting
bit of news comes through ADN,
the communist East German news
agency.
And along this same line,
imagine your reporter’s surprise
when she saw a delicatessen owner
'deliberately toss onto the sidewalk
in front of his own store, what
apparently had been the paper
wrappings around fruit.
Many members of the faculty of
the East Cleveland Public Schools
are busy during their two month’s
vacation, furthering their studies
in one way or another, or employed
in jobs that give them valued ex
perience.
Walter Bandlow, instructor in
the machine shop at Shaw High
School has been one of three in
structor specialists working on the
Alcoa apprentice training program
at the company’s Harvard ave.
plant. Mr. Bandlow has been res
ponsible for the courses in mill
wright and toolmaking, and has
been sotting up the prescribed
courese of study in these fields.
When Dolores Stephenson Wald
ron begins her teaching career
next week, dhe will be beginning
it in the same school house in
whieh she enrplled as a kinder
gartener. And, furthermore, Mrs.
Waldron will be succeeding her
first teacher, Miss Kathryn Lowrie
who resigned at the close of last
school year. Another interesting
note: Mrs. Waldron’s mother, Mrs.
Hasel Stephenson is also on the
Prospect faculty.
If a member of the East Cleve

For Safety's Sake
This word “School” painted out
on the street in practically every
village to ctiy across the nation, is
a package deal for the motorist. In
the package is every warning sign
that a driver needs to be on the
alert now that children every
where are off to school.
That is a sign that has been
lightly, if at all noticed during the
carefree summer months. Now it
takes on vital importance. Now
failure to comprehend the full
meaning of the one word could
mean life or death for some child,
your child.
At home one knows where the
school buildings are located and the
wise motorist slackens his speed
and keeps a close watch, lest a
child dart into his path. In strange
towns it’s a signal: “Here is a
school.” Be careful.

A much needed “shot in the

non-registered voters situation in
Cuyahoga County as a result of
the two party conventions held
within the past fortnight. This is
the word from Ray C. Miller,

However, the temporary inrush
is not sufficient to appeasa the
alarm held by the board over the
altogether too high percentage of
non-registered voters.
Figures on the number of poten

registered voters have been com
piled by the board’s deputy clerk,

the check are figures from the
