We keep our fingers crossed
in the hopes that we don’t jinx
the administration in mention
ing the fact we have yet to see
an East Cleveland establish
ment up for a violation.
Further investigation has re
vealed that the last time a local
pub did nought was almost a
year ago. While we must give
credit for the strict enforce
ment involved in policing the
119 establishments it wouldn’t
do harm to recognize that the
9 proprietors themselves have
evidently been watching their
P’s and Q’s.
SPEAKING OF PUBLICITY
releases we are possessors of a
note that there is a cold war
between the sexes on where to
squeeze a tube of toothpaste.
The enduring nature of the
struggle was duly noted re
cently in an internationally
circulated magazine, a coast-to
coast television program and a
syndicated newspaper column
(not ours).

We will spare you the grue
some details except to report
that women squeeze collapsible
metal tubes from the top while
men always squeeze from the
bottom.
Won’t these women ever le$rn
v to do things right?
SPREADING FAME. The
9 Shaw football team wasn’t ac
tivily engaged in the recent
a
Charity Football Game, but it
was quite prominent never-the
less. Whether it was because
the Cardinals are the best look
ing boys in the area or an ac
cident they were the young
sters that were on the cover of
the 30th annual football game
program.
MORE FAME. Gaining berths
on the greater Cleveland all
scholastic football team were
Ken Reiley and Dave Vaughn.
Everyone extends congratula
tions to the pair for this dis
tinquished honor.
PROUD PARENTS. Yes, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Matte were
beaming with pride at the Ki
wanis luncheon Monday that
honored the Shaw Football
team and Ohio State’s star
quarterback Topi Matte.
A 1957 graduate of Shaw,
Tom told the eager well-yish
ers present of his debt of gra
titude to his parents.
-f
It is refreshing to see Mom
and Dad get due credit for the
sacrifices they often make so
that their off spring can
achieve greatness.
Too often we are prone to
take parents for granted and
ignore the fact they very sel
dom are responsible for our
failure and are almost always
the cause of our success.
NEW LOOKS. It will just be
a couple of weeks now before
our city adds two new struc
tures to the many that have
been beautifying the commu
nity.
One is the new fire station on
Shaw ave., which wil cost
around $100,000 and of course
there is the refurnishing of the
municipal courtroom at an ex
pense of $10,000.
Needless to say, Fire Chief
T^ng and Judge Addams are
eager to do business in their
respective new homes.
THEN THERE’S the new
East Cleveland Savings and
Loan office on Hayden ave.
This brings up an amusing
point. A downtown news media
is assuring us East Cleveland
is going to pot even in the face
of now and attractive buildings
springing up all over the com
munity.
Perhaps they would have us
atart an Erieview project. How
ever, we feel it’s better this
way —that is with those who
feel secure enough to do busi
ness and rebuild at their ex
arid not. at the tax-

David D. Ludwick, 28, has
been appointed Red Cross first
aid chairman in East Cleveland.
This was announced today by
Mrs. Keith Weigle, community
representative for Red Cross
in this community.
His main responsibility will
be to build up the first aid pro
gram in the suburb which in
cludes training of new instruc
tors and scheduling of classes
in standard and advanced
first aid. Classes are offered
free to local residents.
Ludwick is the youngest first
aid chairman in Greater Cleve
land. Only last year, he was
graduated from John Carroll
University with a business de
gree (Industrial Relations
major).
After graduataion, and be
fore accepting his present job
with IBM as a date processing
salesman, he was a 2nd Lt. with
the U.S. Army Transportation
Command at Ft. Eustis, Va.
Although short on age, Lud
wick is long on experience in
first aid and water safety. He
is a member of the first aid
mobile unit corps, has been
dean of several first aid insti
tutes at Hiram House Camp,
for three years was on the
teaching staff of Red Cross’s
Safety Service Institute at
Camp Firebird in New Phila
delphia, Ohio, and is a volun
teer with the disaster survey
committee.
Like many mobile unit mem
bers, Ludwick has a station
wagon fully equipped with first
aid equipment for treating
highway victims. This includes
stretchers, bandages, splints,
first aid kits, and other life
saving materials. Over the past
five years, he has treated many
casualties on the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Turnpikes.
At Jon Carroll, he was a
member of the Pershing Rifle
Team, Fifth ranked drill team|
Little boys wont put their
money just anywhere.
That’s what four-year-old
Terry Urban of 14404 Elm st.
might have figured when he
turned in his “piggy bank” to
Jack Wise, manager of East
Cleveland Savings & Loan’s
brand new Hayden office.
Terry, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Urban, was an early de
positor at the brand new build
ing which unofficially opened
for business last week. The
formal grand opening will be
held Wednesday, Dec. 28th, ac
cording to company officials.
Although victorious in its
opening game the Shaw Bas
ketball team will have little
rest as the schedule finds them
opposing two of the tougher
teams perennially in the state
as both Ashland and Sandusky
visit Shaw Friday and Satur
day respectively.
Friday night the Shaw
Gagers will be attempting to
atone for their drubbing im
posed upon them last year at
Ashland.
This year’s Arrows feature
a strong rebounding and run
ning game. The team was vic
torious in its initial start last
Saturday in defeating Mount
Vernon 7$-fi8.

HANDS OFF!
Once again certain people from downtown are
trying to latch on to a good thing in the suburbs.
We don’t know who is back of the idea, but
the Plain Dealer has been running a series of ar
ticles trying to sell unification of all suburban
muny courts with the Cleveland Courts.
We know little of operation of the courts in
other communities outside Cleveland, but we do
know that in East Cleveland our muny Judge
handles more work than the average city judge
'does.
We would dislike very much seeing muny
judges elected county-wide, if that be the plan,
and attorneys tell us they get much better service
here than they do downtown.
As we see it, a part of the plan is to shift
the smaller civil suits now handled by common
pleas court to the muny courts.
From our observation of the county courts,
we would suggest that the judges put in a little
more time on the job and in that way could easily
break through the back-log of cases.

Of Time, Money
Also Hits Rules
Chief H. S. Weaver will lead state-wide police
forces tomorrow in opposition to the adoption by
the Ohio Supreme Court of a new set of rules of
practice and procedure mainly concerned with traffic
violations.
The state supreme court begins tomorrow (Friday)
an important public hearing in its Columbus court
rooms on the set of rules drawn,
up by a special committee ofl The East Cleveland Traffic
the Ohio State Bar Association.
The most important and
bone of contention amongst
municipal I a w enforcement
agencies throughout Ohio—is a
proposal of a uniform traffic
ticket for the entire state.
This controversial item is a
four-sheet numbered form on
which an arresting officer must
write, with the help of carbons,
details about the offender, of
fense and driving conditions.
Copies would go to the of
fender, the police department,
the court and the state bureau
of motor vehicles.
Chief Weaver, as executive
secretary for the Ohio Associ
ation of Chief of Police will be
one of the main spokesmen at
the hearing.
His opposition will be based
mainly on the presumption that
“each municipality should have
the right to use a traffic ticket

Present System Efficient
The chief will also point out
the fact that systems now used
in most communities are time
tested and work very effi
ciently.
“These systems are already
complying with the principles
of good traffic enforcement,
such as accounting for tickets
issued and

others concerned,”
Other reasons stated by the
chief in his objection of the
uniform traffic are as follows:
“Law enforcement agencies,
who initially use and process
the tickets and usually pay for
the forms, were not represented
on the committee which desig
nated the-suggested forms.
“The present traffic ticket
now used in East Cleveland
meets our own local needs and
is acceptable to the Clerk of
Courts and has been acccepted
by Judge Stanton Addams.
“If adopted, the uniform
traffic ticket will require more
time for police officers to issue
the ticket due to the number
of check squares that have to
be filled out. This would result
in a reduction cf efficiency of
the police repartment in its ef
forts to prevent casualties and
fatalities on our streets. In
order to preserve our present
standard of police performance,
if such tickets were used, we
would have to increase our
personnel and further burden
the taxpayers.”
