Well, we get away with it again. Our first “Come-Back-Column” was received by the general public last week without any letters threatening violence to the editor for printing it. So, here goes again! Until a definite “Stop T. L.” movement is organized, the | editor says we can go right ahead (Writing the unimportant happenings concerning important people?

Here and There in Speedway In our wanderings about town, we found out that Speedway will have at least cne entry in. the Soap Box Derby this year. Paul Alsmeyer proudly exhibited his car to the general public this week. It is, a stream-lined creation of blue and silver. Alsmeyer, who is the owner; driver and mechanic, told us that the car has been built according to the specifications of the Soap Box Derby and with all of the assistance which modern science can contribute to speed. His entrance is sponsored by SchoonStandard Service Station. When we asked him what he expected to happen on the day of the Derby (which by the way is tomorrow) he said without qualification, “Why. we’re going to win—l think.” Well good luck Paul, we hope you make it tomorrow.

After running into Alsmeyer and his racing car, we next wandered into the noise and confusion of the street mending crew. And right in the middle of the melee of picks and shovels and men, we found street commissioner Art Beeler, and police chief Bernhardt directing activities. This group was engaged in the busy task of cleaning and reoairing the gutters of the streets. Art Beeler receives our “dandelion” of the week for his keen interest in Speedway and his untiring efforts during thi# spring to kdep our streets in good repair'. Soon a gleaming sign will decorate the entrance to Speedway on our eastern border as one comes along 16th Street Speedway Lions Club has just received a new “welcome” sign which will display the Lion emblem and tell the world that a club meets in Speedway twice a month. Just another sign of progress!

Its getting so that the day isn’t complete unless we hear that the Allison Plant is going to expand again. Well, in order to complete your day, let us tell you that this columnist has just heard that Plant No. 2 will be expanded to the east in the very # near future in order to take care of the growing experimental work of this plant. Do you remember the old definition of a high school: “A gymnasium with a school building attached;’? Well, if it keeps on, the definition of Speedway will be: "The Allison Plant, with living quarters attached.” We followed our nose the other night and the scent of smoking hickory wood and the aroma of barbecued meat, led us to the new barbecue stand which is located near

It made our mouth water just to watch this ham slowly turn into a barbecue sandwich. What with barbecues, roller rink, a movie theatre, etc., etc., we are soon to beconiel the. entertainment center of! me west.

After wnyng the material which appears afotfve, we’re very much afraid ‘shall go .about Speedway with the attitude “Do you want to make something of It?” Before someone mobs the editor, let us hasten to say that we don’t think much of this column either, but as we have said before, the space must be filled with something and this is better than nothing (or is it?) SEE YOU NEXT WEEK
