St. Christopher's Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 5:00 A. M. 7:30 A. M. 9:00 A. M. Weekday Masses 7:00 A. M. Daily \ Sunday the men of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion in a body at the seven-thirty o’clock Mass. Father Lindemann announced last Sunday that it is hoped a large number of men will receive. The Feast Day of St. Christopher, the martyr, fell on Thursday, July 25th, and was celebrated in the Mass last Sunday. Red vestments, instead of green, were worn because St. Christopher was a martyr. July Twenty-fifth was also the Feast Day of St. James, the apostle. Friday, July 26th, was the Feast Day of St. Ann, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Veneration of St. Ann, it is written, is as ancient as the Church itself. Why is St. Ann one of the mOst popular saints of Holy Church? Because of the plenitude of her virtues, the height of her exalted dignity, and her close relationship with the holiest persons, Jesus and Mary. Never was it known that anyone sought for protection, implored her help or intercession, was left unaided, for she is a most merciful mother, and does aid all who are in distress and come to her. When we were in Church last Saturday evening where we had gone to pray especially for for the health of a friend, two young ladies came in and knelt in front of us. A little later, one of them turned to us and said, “Why do women have to keep their heads covered in a Catholic Church?” Answering her question, we quoted from the First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, Chapter Eleven, Verse 10, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.” It is written that man was created directly from God, and woman, indirectly, through man. A man should never have his head covered in Church, because the Glory of God is never to be veiled in His presence, but woman should be veiled because she is the glory of man. God created man like unto his own image, and woman from man, for his helpmate and to be subjected to man. The veil, might be said, therefore, is worn as a sign of her subjection—she not to appear with head uncovered in the presence of the angelic pure spirits who are ever present in our temples. Man was created for the Glory of God, and woman for the glory of man. While we know this is. the teaching and the theory of the •creation of man and woman; and that wonfiii is subjected to man, We also know in actual reality that woman runs the world —“the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”—“all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe to my mother,” and like sayings. However, in accordance with an old canon law of the church based on the above quotation, women still keep their heads covered in the presence of God, and no doubt always will, in an outward sign of their subjection to man.

SPEEDWAY MERCHANTS TROUNCE PITTSBORO MERCHANTS IN RETURN ENGAGEMENT By Robert Alsmeyer After having suffered defeat at the hands of the Pittsboro Merchants earlier in the season, the Speedway Merchants came back last Monday night and soundly thumped the westerners by a score of 6 to 3. The game was delayed quite a while because of a mix-up in the schedule, and several of the team managers exchanged a few hot words before the affair was straightened out. All this excitement tended to create an atmosphere of intense competition and both teams were fighting “hammer and tongs’’ to win this game. As a result, the crowd, which incidentally was one of the largest ever to attend one of these games, witnessed a “grudge-fight” that turned out to be one of the best allaround ball games of the current season. Both teams played a good brand of ball; errors were held to a minimum, hits were few, but whenever someone got a hit, it was a good clean blow and there was nothing freakish or lucky about it. •

The Pittsboro lads opened the game with a bang by scoring a run in the first half of the first inning. This gave their followers a good deal of satisfaction, but the Speedway boys knocked some of the wind out of the Pittsboro sails by coming back with a tying run In their half of the first inning. Hazelwood, short-fielder, was tagged out at the plate in an attemnt to score the run that would put his teammates In the lead. In the next few rather uneventful innings, both teams managed to score two runs apiece making the score stand at three all. In the Speedway half of the fifth inning, the race town boys pushed over .one big marker thus giving themselves a one run advantage. The inning ended Speedway 4 and Pittsboro 8. The highlight of the next innng was when Bob Gregory, hard fighting Pittsboro manager, making a supreme effort to score the tying

run, was put out at the Diate on a brilliant play from Bland to Alsmeyer. center fielder and catcher respectively. Speedway scored two runs in the last of the sixth and held their adversaries scoreless in the first of the seventh, ending the game Speedway 6 and Pittsboro 3. Some of Speedway’s more up-and-coming business men are beginning to speculate unon the idea of lighting the Speedway athletic field so that it would be possible to play night softball and possibly even so that the school could schedule some night football games. Any of our readers who may be entertaining any plausible ideas or suggestions are asked to submit them to the editor of the Flyer or to your reporter in order that they might be put into print and .thus become known to the community at large.

Well, we’re in the soup again! Two of our Speedway merchants have threatened to put us on their ‘ we won’t speak to you list” if they ever find out who writes this column. It seems that one merchant (no free advertising this week) is very much put out about that word “übiquitous.” He thought we were swearing at him. The other gentleman has complained that his shirt tail isn’t always out, but it’s been out every time we’ve seen him—so there. You just can’t please some people. Here we give ’em free advertising and ■ hey don’t appreciate it. Well, maybe it’s the heat. Wandering along Main Street this week, we glanced at the thermometer in front of the Speedway Bank—it registered 120. Herb Grande, who was standing nearby, said that it would have gone higher but that there were no more numbers on the thermometer. We’re awfully glad there were no more numbers, for we think 120 is high enough. *

Continuing on down the 'Main Drag” we suddenly were halted by the sight of many State Police cars parked at 16th and' Maiti. For ar moment we thought that it was a raid, but then we remembered that court was in session up in Wayne Baxter’s office. The state cops must have had a profitable week end if we could judge by the number who were there to appear against the hapless motorists who were caught violating traffic laws. And speaking of policemen, reminds us that we saw one of the Allison variety toot his whistle at a speeder on 10th Street the other day. We sorta think this is a good idea for some of the boys go entirely too fast along 10th Street. Speaking of hot weather (as who isn’t these days) we’dsuggest Beck’s Drug Store as the cooling-off spot. His new air conditioning system is now working and affording cooling breezes to those lucky people who have a nickel to spend for a “coke.” We’ve heard that several other Speedway merchants are to install airconditioning this summer also. If they want to, they can pipe a little of it over to my house. Social Item—Bud Schoonover is back in town after a

Speedway Christian Church Rev. Howard Anderson Minister Services for Next Sunday Church School and Morning Worship 9:00 A. M. Last week we told you about our two departments which take care of very small children while the parents attend the services in the sanctuary. Let us tell you today about two other departments in our educational program for children. We have a very fine department for children six, seven and eight years of age, the primary department under the supervision of Mrs. Ray Kelley. Our junior boys and girls, those who are nine, ten and eleven years old, meet with Mrs. J. T. Huber, superintendent. As you will notice, our church school is fully graded in order that the teachings of the Bible may be presented according to the age needs. It is possible for you to bring your entire family to our combined services and for each to receive religious instruction according to his own age and capacity. Bring the entire family with you next Sunday morning when you come to church The special music in the sanctuary next Sunday morning will be provided by the men's quartet. The congregational sinking will be directed by our choir and Mr. R. D. Haase. The minister will preach the morning sermon on the subject: “Two Ways for Men.” In spite of the extremely hot weather last Sunday, there were over 200 people in attendance at our morning service. Come to church next Sunday. A special communion service will be conducted by the minister of the church at 8:00 o’clock for those of the Triangle Class who are to be with the group at the picnic. Anyone else who would like io attend this earlier service will be welcome.

prolonged vacation. We don’t know whether he went fishing motoring or if he slept through the entire time. When this reporter questioned him the other day, all he received in a reply was a big grin and the statement “Boy, it’s sure hot here.” News of the Week—Speedway receives two blows in one viepk. First thing off comes Friday and* ‘l Ime’w lluL TELL blows the big wind over Speedway. Next thing you know Saturday comes and a big wind blows again (some folks thought this column was doing a double feature last week.)

With all this talk of a "universal draft” it seems to us that things cught to get a lot cooler. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK

SPEEDWAY THEATRE James Cagney, Ann Sheridan and Pat O’Brien make up the triple (threat star cast of the Speedway Theatre’s attraction starting Sunday for three days in “Torrid Zone.” In the featured supporting cast are Andy Devine, Helen Vinson, Jerome Cowan and a host of others. Cagney and O’Brien are cast as the hard-boiled plantation bosses tor a big fruit company and Miss Sheridan as an American torch singer who goes to the "torrid zone” to cash in on her talents as a singer and card sharp. A new tune which is already gaining hit proportions over the airwaves is “Mi Cabellero,” introduced by Miss Sheridan in the night club sequences of the picture. “Torrid Zone” has been hailed by the preview critics as one of the most tempestuous dramas of many seasons, crammed to the hilt with romance and action. It is r .picture you can’t afford to miss. | For downright entertainment of the finest order “Beyond Tomorrow” the second feature on the program, can be classed as tops. It is the story of the too rapid rise to success of a young singer which results in a series of complications packed with tense, human drama.

Charles Winninger, C. Aubrey 'Smith and Harry Carey, as the three elderly construction engineers, start the story off by tossing I three wallets out of the window I facing Fifth Avenue on Christmas Eve. In each of them there is a ten dollar bill and their cards Richard Carlson, as a young Texan in New York trying to make a stake to get back home, and Jean Parker, worker in a children's clinic, return two of the wallets, stay for dinner and switch the point of view of the elderly men almost immediately. - A short time later the three men 1 are killed in a plant accident. Winninger leaves SIO,OOO to the young couple, which leads Carlson onto the radio where he sings and immediately becomes the sensation of the airwaves,’ Throughout the fest of the exciting picture Win-I ninger’s spirit in paricular takepart in the most thrilling moments of the story.

GIRL SCOUT LEADERS NEEDED We’ve heard much about Speedway’s growth recently. We’ve even come to the point of developing “growing pains” and one of these pains is the growth of our youth activities, especially our Brownies and Girl Scouts. Although the response of women in the community toward Scout and Brownie leadership has been splendid, there is at present an, acute 'rieid for leaders in these tions. This fall there will cancies which must be filled in‘ both Brownie and Scout Troups or the children involved will be disappointed. If you are a woman twenty-one years old or more and especially if you are a mother of a Scout or Brownie age girl, we need your help. If you are interested in taking either the Girl Scout or Brownie courses available next fall in order that girl scouting in Speedway may continue happily on its way, please get in touch with us right away. Thank You Speedway Girl Scout Leaders Mrs. Glen Collins. Bel. 0137 R

JOE ETTER INSTALLS NEW * LUBRICATION EQUIPMENT Joe Etter, proprietor of Etter's Phillips 66 Service Station has just installed some new equipment which will give his customers better lubrication work: This new equipment is called an Auto-Rock. It rocks the car, during the greasing of the automobile, in order to allow the grease to work into the moving parts of the mechanism. Its movement is similar to that of a car while running on the road. It is also used, following the greasing, in order to check for squeaks and noises under the car. “When ycu use the Auto-Rock.” says Joe. “You know that every part is completely lubricated and that all squeaks are gone.” Vanderbilt University The original name of Vanderbilt university was Central Methodist university. The name was changed in 1875 when Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt endowed the institution with 11,000,000,
