Have a good time aU you Hubers, Oh, pardon me Joanne, you too.

WISDOM AND COMMON SENSE Dear Hometown Folks: A wise man once said, “Make a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door.” > Common sense should have told me that wise man was right Each day last week I served more hometown folks at my place of business... you know.. “THE GRILLE,” corner of Main and 14th Street, here in Speedway. People appreciate good food, well prepared, and especially when the place is clean and air-conditioned. ‘Common Sense’ should have told me that, too. But I, like many folks, seem never to learn because Sunday night at 7:40 p. m. I had to lock my doors to keep out additional patrons due to the fact that I did not use “wisdom and common sene” and buy more food and operate a bigger place than “The Grille,” Speedway’s rendezvous for particular Good luck and good dining. ''IF Sincerely, Art Blake, Your Host P. S. After reading this, you’ll have the points!

BETTERMENT ASSOCIATION NEWS

A resolution recommending an increase in the salary of Town Board members was approved at a special meeting of the board of directors of the Speedway Betterment Association last Tuesday night. The meeting was held at the Town Hall. The recommendation will be presented to the Town Board for their consideration at the budget hearing Wednesday, August 25th at the Town Hall. The duties of Town Board members have increased to the extent that the present salary from the Town of Speedway seems to minimize the importance of the Board to the community. The directors of the Betterment Association feel that raising the salary to the legal limit will show that the residents of Speedway do appreciate the efforts of the Town Board. It will also be an encouragement to the present and future Town Boards to know that the residents of Speedway respect the heavy responsibility of their position and are willing to compensate them, at least in part, for their time and labor.

Other matters were discussed at the meeting and action was approved. The secretary was directed to write a letter to the Public Service Commission in an effort to clarify the situation in which a few private residences of Speedway pay water bills based on meter readings whereas most residences are on a flat monthly rate. Residents of Speedway, particularly Betterment Association members, are urged to attend the Town Board Budget meeting, Wednesday, August 25th and the School Board budget hearing, Thursday, August 26th. The Association, of course, has appointed committees to attend these hearings, but whenever possible every citizen should interest himself in these actions which ultimately decide your tax rate and determine the amount which will be allocated for each of the various needs and purposes of town

The president of the Speedway Betterment Association was authorized to explore the possibility of securing continuous legal advice in connection with the various activities of the organization. Such service would not necessarily be actual legal representation, but would be a great aid in making the Association more valuable to Speedway.

"Could the Federal Government get along without the tax money collected from the public by the saloons?" "Of course it could. Last year less than ten percent of the total Federal revenue came front liquor taxes." *‘A lot of people know that the whole liquor tax argument is simply a smoke screen. ;The saloon crowd wants to keep legal the business of starting npn-drinkers to drink, pf getting moderate drfakers, like Bill, to drink more, and to satisfy the drunkard." "That’s about right Let’s give Bill a hand house beforq be gets into' trouble." M
