What a real thrill to be able to say ‘this is mine.’ “Indianapolis, city of advantages, city of parks, city of commerce, but greater yet—city of homes.” Bill Quigley, 836 Lexington Ave. explains why he boosts Indianapolis and proudly calls it “My Town.”
a city like having something good said about it. The ‘heart of a city’ is its people. If the people have their chins up, the city will have its chin up. It is this humanitarian side which I. would like to stress. Indianapolis has citizens who are basically good and as previous writers to you have said, ‘It has friendly people.’ ~ “It seems that this. campaign of selecting the fine things about our community will help us be

Our job is to continue hitting until we have a city all of us will be proud to live in and boost. The desk is about clear, folks, how about cluttering it up ‘again.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 10—Hammerin’ Henry Armstrong preaches the word of the Lord with the same fire he used to belt the daylights out of The former fighter, who pound for pound was than any of his one of the best body punchers in boxing history, isn’t pulling his punches now. Except now his “ring” is a pulpit and he steals his punch from the scriptures. But he still waves his arms. - "Mr. Armstrong isn't exactly a preacher. He jt would be his The 38-year-old Negro hasn’t exactly mellowed with the years. He always has had a spark of religion in him and throughout an up and down career he has been clean living, a credit to his race and to the fight business and to humanity. You could see that Easter Sunday as he appeared before an audience at Uline Arena—where once he was a conquering gladiator out to commit mayhem. He committed same in reverence yesterday when he raised his voice and windmilled his arms to preach on the theme: “The Grave Couldn't Hold Him.” His sermon, in keeping with the day, was about the crucifixion.

hope the Easter eggs didn’t give them indigestion, because they've got a lot of work to do when they get back. It pains me even to repeat it, but some observers claim the 81st Congress to date has produced nothing much but a large egg, undecorated. The gentlemen did gas a good deal about gas, however, and passed a natural gas bill which President Truman may veto. They decided. to investigate crime, but hadn't even started when a couple of politicos got shot in a Kansas City Democratic club house. } ‘The lawgivers also began an inquiry into lobbyists, but just barely had mentioned that ubiquitous Washington institution, the cocktail party, when they knocked off for Easter. They talked, but did nothing about "getting themselves a private subway train, to match the Senate's.

The tax bill, which may or may not make it cheaper to go to the movies, still was the subject of battle inside the golden-draped sanctum of the Ways and Means committee.

The Senate has accomplished little more than the House, but the Senators are gluttons for punishment and will be back on the job immediately. They spent a good’ deal of time, inconclusively, on the subject of Communists in the State Department. They investigated the price of coffee which they think is too high; they called in the local cops for secret testimony about homosexuality in the District, and they discovered that waitresses don't want social security benefits. One of the ladies from the beaneries explained that she and her sisters believed social security for them was just a scheme of the tax collectors to discover the amount of their tips. '
