There ' s a daily death -defying act pe rformed every day right he re in the heart of Mariemont. It hol ds no seco nd -candle to the net- les s ti ght rope walking antics th at chill you at the Barnum and Baile y Circ us. At least t hey're gett ing pa id f or the ir darin g.
Seeing a la rge tr uck sai l right through a red li gh t on Wooster Pike and Mi ami Road sk immi ng the nose of a ped estr ian wh o had the ri ght -o f-way wal k light is reported he re as a WARNING to all Mar iem ont pedestr ians
LOOK in all dir ect io ns befo re crossing any intersect ion even if you have the lega l right -of- way , whether it be on the rough and rowdy Route 50 or in a quie t er neighborhood.
It's impossible to have a police cruiser sitting at every dangerous intersection at all times , but if you check the Police Blo tter , printed elsewhere in The Town Crier , you might be amazed at the number of traff ic violators apprehended each month Our traffic enforcement off ic ers are evidently do ing a f ine j ob .
Witness for that is the saf et y reco rd posted by our Mari emont law enforcers I here was a big span of 23 years between t raffic fatalities, the last one oc curr ing in 1976 when a pedestrian reportedly stepped into a moving
bus Mariemont Police Depart· ment holds one of the top ratings in traffic safety in the state. Bac k to the present; we know th at times they are a'changing and so have t he habits of drivers of vehic les and pedestrians as well. It's easy t o get a li t t le care less , particularly in a small , qu iet vil lage. But now, it cou ld COS T YOJ YOUR LIFE 1
The biggest pr obl ems seem to be on the Square. Exam ple: Yo u' re wait in g in fr ont of the Ce ntra l Trust Bank for a wal k li ght t o cross ove r to the Inn. The re' s a gr een arrow t o ind ic ate cars can com e around the co rner and down Madisonville Road. Right af te r the arrow goes off the walk sign goes on Wait for that every time - because some cars often go right on around that corner after the light changes There is even a " No Right Turn On Red" sign which must also be obeyed by motorists if pedestria ns are ever to manage a crossing
Look to the left befo re yo u step out - even if you have a walk si gn staring you in the f ace It could mean the differen ce between life and death . Anothe r part ic ularl y dangerous spot is where you wa tt by the Inn to cross over to the West Shell
side Often cars come around the corner (on a green light for them ) while you , as a pedestrian , have a walk light sign inviting you to cross. So , be sure to look to the left to check if any of that traffic is turning on to Wooster Pike befo re you ma ke yo ur fi rst step.
REMEMBER , yo u're putti ng yo ur lif e on t he li ne ev ery time yo u cross st re ets any place.lig hts or no , but par t icularfy in t he middle of t he str eet or runni ng ki tt y· co rne r across t he squa re. You can ' t be t oo care ful '
The in creasing pract ic e of cars and t rucks coming t o a ha lt where they bl ock the cros s-wal k is another pedestr ian irr itati on.
After discussing th is ma t ter with Police Chief Don Shanks , a reminder notice is being given to each traffic officer to be on the lookout for th is sort of happ ening , so a serious attempt is being made to keep viol ati ons down Chief Shanks als o commented on the inte rest being shown and he lp provided by the Kiwani s Club and the men of MariElders
SO , if we all cooperate with the poli ce by being more careful in our t raffic walking habits , ever watchful for the onco ming cars and trucks , Mariem ont win co n· tinue to be one of the very safest places in which to live

Can't from pg. 4. but not to the degree shown with the toys and household appliances. The chandelier shape of the space ship does not correspond with descriptions offered by witnesses of unexplained phenomena. Len hopes that Jack Webb's new show , "Project UFO," will be more accurate and definitive of the problem while still providing the same sort of stimulus for public awareness as the films have done Many researchers hope that 1978 may be a year where much is revealed to the public from Air Force or CIA files which have been previously unavailable. Tests are currently being run on the dress worn by Betty Hill dur ing her alien encounter. The experience of Betty and Barney Hill , one of the most famous UFO cases, was recent ly dramatized in a television movie.
A Green Retre at
Aside from UFO research, Len has many other interests such as gardening and oil painting. He enjoxs working with Japanese motifs. The orchids and Jungle plants that he saw in New Guinea and Austra l ia during WW II fostered an interest in plants and their enviro nment. The challenge of developing a self-efficient room with its own ecology where succulents and bog plants could exist together intrigued him. Such a room was designed and added to his home in 1972 However , full development of the room was halted by the UFO flap of 1973 and the subsequent responsibilities of authorsh ip have prevented him from giving it the
care he would like . Right now he is maintaining the room instead of proceeding with its development. It is a wonderful retreat for the body and spirit from the harsh midwest winter Huge windows emphasize the contrast between the snowy hi, i!:ide and the blooming plants within. Automatic lighting and timing devices aid in contro lling the light level. Fish swim in a pool at the base of a waterfall. A finch flies free among the plants and several toads earn their keep by devouring insects. Two lovely parrots are not allowed such freedom however-their appetite for munching on tender youn g terns led to their confinement away from the rest. Len enjoys a quiet moment here each morning before work as he checks the room and sprinkles it to maintain 50 % humidity. Know the Truth Whether it be UFOiogy or ecology, the rewards of research are in gaining information about the universe and ourselves. A researcher works for sheer dedication and love of the subject. Len already has enough UFO material for another book but not enou gh time to write one. The aim of Situation Red , The UFO Siege , was to create an awareness of the acute UFO problem , to encourage people to seek answers, and to question and wonder at the possibilities. Len writes that " What is important is knowing the truth so that man can rediscover himself." We all ponder the questions-Why are we here 7 And are we alone 7 Len Stringfield is an exceptional person tirelessly seeking answers to those questions.

" I'd say 2/ 3 to 3/ 4 of our income comes from prescription business ," says propr ietor Jim Atwood Owner of the store for 15 years, Jim moves easily along the rack of 200 bottles of pharmaceuticals : He proudly displays the bi ns which prote ct the li qu id medicines from dust and sunlight. This was part of the remodellin g which took place in 1972 , when the store kept goin~ ev en though supplies were kept 1n boxes in the back rooms of the adjoi ning beauty shop and insurance office
A nat ive Cincinnatian , Jim ' s first high school job was in a drugstore on the west side of town, making deliveries and manning the soda fountain. This led him to U C., at a time when the pharmacy school was downtown on 8th Street in a building so cold the st ud ents often wore coats in classes. Upon graduation, Jim started working at a drugstore on th e east side of Cincinnati and in 1963 bought the Fairfa x pha rmacy He is the th ird owner of the store since its inception in 1940
" It's a good profession ," Jim says, "but you have to work hard " The sto re is ope n from 9- 9 thro ug h th e wee k and fr om 9 -6 on Sa t urday When Ji m first
started , he worked 83 hours a week ; now he ' s cut it down to between 48 and 57 Helping him on a part -time basis are pha rmacists Tom Stark and Al Castell ani ; Margaret Hughes , Clara Sallee (who retired once but has come back ) and Virginia Stevenson ; and Mariemont High School students Mark Overley and Mary Beth Tapke.
Jim ' s 14 ye ar old son shows interest in follow in g in his dad's footsteps. His da ugh ter Pam is a registered practical nurse who worked at t he store unt il scho ol demanded all of her time. Jim and his family are moving to Montgomery so they will be halfway between Fairfax and Prin ceton, where Mrs. Atwood teaches
The biggest change that has taken place in the drug store business over the years , Jim feels , is the increase in prices and the fact that more and more people have an insurance plan that covers prescriptions. Atwood 's offers a "Patien t Profile, " a record for every family of all prescriptions and refills for insurance and income ta x purpos es . Jim al so keeps an eye out for any possi ble in tera ction of conflicting drugs a patient might get on different prescrip tio ns
A couple of years ago the pharmacy association adopted the slo g an " Person al Concern. " That's what Atwood's Ph armac y is all about.
