Cleveland, March 10. — On a
girder 70 feet a]x)ve the floor of
Cleveland’s downtown "high lev
el’’ bridge, Ray Stana, 19, pla’/ed
hide and seek with police for six
hours today.
He hoped—
“That by showing such initia
tive, I could get my name before
employers and get an offer of
employment”.
He got—
No job, but a chill and. a visit
to police .
“I’m still shivering”, he said an
h.our after firemen brought him
down. Police booked him for in
vestigation.
Stana, graduated from high
school in January, climbed brid^
posts and inched along girders
while traffic sped across the
bridge below him. Down 170
feet was the Cuyahoga river.
He carried a book, “New .Fron
tiers of the Mind”, but no food.
He wore an overcoat and ear-
muffs against 27-30 degree tem
peratures, but no bloves or hat.
Police, notified of the “sit-up-
per”, patrolled the bridge several
times but reported no one there.
After hours, Stana poked his
head above a plate that screened
him from view, and shouted:
“I’ll stay here until I get a
job”.
Traffic police sent for firemen,
who hoisted a ladder.
Tonight Stana wasn't sure his
“initiative” would be productive.
He w'as ready to sit back and
wait for results—and thaw out.
LOBLOLLY PINES
E. L. Morrison, Jr., of Concord,
bought a 50-acre farm east of
Concord recently and when he
found it badly eroled, he had the
county agent to order 10,000 lob
lolly pines as the crop to grow.
He expects to set more pines each
year until the 50 acres is covered
with trees.
