South Side Gets New Bridle Path

THEY'LL BE “off” on the South side in a few days. ; Nope, horse-racing hasn't been introduced in Indianapolis, but establishment of a three-and-a-half-mile bridle path along Pleasant Run will give horseback enthusiasts a chance to enjoy their favorite pastime. Route of the path is from the north side of Pleasant Run from Bluff road to Garfield park, across a bridge, then continuing on the south side of the creek to Keystone ave. The path, to be marked by signs and hitching posts, also will be made usable at night by illumination from lights along Pleasant Run parkway.

Making the public realize the anti-smoke ordinance “has teeth in it” will be the principal duty of the new smoke-abatement advisory committee, according to its chairman, Robert W. Bidlack. Mr. Bidlack was chosen to head the group at its organization meeting last night at city hall. In accepting the chairmanship, Mr. Bidlack pledged that activities of the committee would “steer clear” of. politics. i “This committee,” he said, “will be governed by ideas as to what will be best for the city of Indianapolis, not by whether or not. they will help or hurt any : political party.” : Mayor Tyndall yesterday appointed George C.

of world war II. : :

War Pictures Shown

The veterans were Tom Fitzsimmons of New York, for 27 years a deep-sea sailor, and Pfc. Richard C. Leaf, both recovering from wounds received in action in the South Pacific, and George Haboush, 23-year-old Brooklyn, N. Y., coast guardsman, who has just returned from action off the coast of North Africa. Two war department motion pictures, “Fire Power” and “Action Signal,” also were shown. ? “Lately the anvils have begun to ring with questions about the whole-heartedness of the American workers® efforts,” Mr. Lund continued. “The implication is that American workers don’t realize their stake in this war.” He then cited records in plane building, movement of ore to steel mills, increases in steel output and greater munitions production and ship building. Workers Give Cheerfully “This picture of flooding production and exhausting work proves

that the American worker knows that this is his war,” Mr. Lund em-

The morale of workers in this country is based on the way of doing things—teamwork, he ‘added. : “This way of pattern we used for the labor-pro-duction committee,” Mr. Lund continued. “Up to the present, four and a half million workers and their employers in more than 2000 plants throughout the nation have set up such committees. “As a result of their experience I believe more than ever that the joint committee is the only medium to which to harness the full energies of free workers and to provide the sense of responsibility and self-dis-cine . . - 1, Wat aay sittem of
