THIS I THAT In East Cleveland By the way, have you squared with Green Cross by signing up as a member? Green Cross dol lars keep Safety Council plans rolling. Wear a poppy for remem brance and as an outward expression of gratitude to the men who died that we might be free. Judging from the reports of school affairs in some of the suburbs, East Cleveland can thank their lucky stars that they have had a calm, efficient and still progressive leadership in Dr. O. J. Korb as superintendent, and the men they have chosen to serve on their Board of Educa tion. Such leadership is reflected in the continuing high standard of the teaching staff, the loyalty of student bodies and the sup port of citizens for all school en 1 deavors. Following announcement of tathe coming of the x-ray *buses to our town, we received a call from the father of a two-year-old child who has been exposed to a .friend they just learned is tu V bercular. Could they bring the child to the x-ray bus? No, but they can take it to the East Side Clinic. Here is a shining example of the need for chest x-rays. One may have tuberculosis and not know it, and unconsciously pass on to those about you. The x-ray buses are along Hayden ave. up until noon Saturday. The remaining schedule is on this page.
