St. Christophers Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann ............. Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock - 10:00 o’clock (High Mass) Weekday Masses F ' 7:00 A. M. Daily ■■ ' • On the Feast of the Holy Family, Sunday, January 9, the women of St. Christopher and the members of the Altar Society will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. I ‘ ON Sunday night—the ninth —at 8 ©•’clock in St. Christopher Hall will be held the “New Year” party for the adults of the Parish—men and women. The young men who belong to the Men’s Club are urged to bring their girl friends and come down—or if they haven’t any girl friend, to come down anyway. If your husband or your wife is a non-Catholic, then you Catholic wife or husband bring them down. This party, sponsored by St. Christopher’s Men’s Club, is strictly a social affair where you can forget your cares for a night, make new friends and meet old ones. They tell us that everything is to be free, so arrange for someone to stay with the children and come to St. Christopher’s Social room Sunday night eat, drink, have fun, play games, and maybe win a contest. ® The regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society will be held Wednesday evening, January 12, in the Parish Hall. The newly elected officers will take office at this meeting. Mrs. Herbert Grande will receive the president’s gavel from Mrs. Frank Medenwald. Mrs. Ben Althoff will replace Mrs. Philip Mann as vice president. Mrs. Raymond Vurpillat is the newly elected secretary, and Mis. Philip Cleveland will assume the treasurer’s duties, replacing Mrs. Walter Freund. The newly elected officers and the retiring officers will be the hostesses for the evening. A large at- . tendance is expected. Start the New Year right by attending the first meeting of the year, and giving your support to the newly elected officers. An announcement will be made shortly as to when the weekly card parties will begin. It was thought that everyone was pretty well worn out with the activities of the holiday season and would appreciate their own firesides awhile. . . A Benediction always follows the ten o’clock High Mass on Sunday mornings, and Father Lindemann asks that everyone remain for this beautiful service, which only takes a few minutes, unless it is absolutely necessary that they leave. God gives us all so very much, it does seem that one of the least things we could give Him in return is a few added minutes before the Blessed Sacrament. We all want this War to end and Peace to prevail, yet when we look at China who does not complain although she has been fighting and suffering for more than six continuous years, and still continues to fight stoically on, it should give us all a lesson in perseverance. Because China seems so far away and because she has millions of men in reserve, our sympathy for them has been rather superficial. However, to a Chinese mother there are only the two or three sons she has seen die. Our missionaries, priests, brothers and sisters bring back the true pictures. So let us all give whenever and wherever we can, and let us always remember them in our prayers—who knows but maybe one of them will be the means of one of our loved ones coming home again. Kindness is one of God’s best gifts to the world. It drives out gloom and darkness from souls. It puts new hope in fainting hearts. So, oh good God, teach us to be kind and patient. Nora Bray

RAYA GARBOUSOVA WITH SYMPHONY The petite, blonde cellist, Raya Garbousova who is to be soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony .Orchestra at the fifth pair of subscription concerts this week end, has been playing that somewhat cumbersome instrument since the age of seven. At that time the top of her head reached only part way up her instrument and she perched on a high stool to practice. To residents of an art center like Indianapolis, it is interesting to note that Miss Garbousova is also much interested in painting. She has so much talent in that airection that t at one time in school her art professor urged her to take up art seriously as a career. But that 'would

have meant giving up music, and of’ course she just couldn’t think of that! Miss Garbousova first begged for a ‘cello when she was four years old and heard a concert given ona double-bass! Her parents laughed, but she longed for it so much that finally she became very ill, and physicians persuaded her father to grant her desire. When he did so, she recovered very rapidly Her first public recital was given, («t nine years of age, when she Was still so tiny a special chair had to be built for her, with rungs on which she would rest her feet because her arms were too short to reach the top of her instrument if her feet were on the floor. For the program Saturday night at 8 p. m., and Sunday afternoon at 3p. m., in the Murat Theater, Miss Garbousova will play the Haydn Cello Concerto/ Fabien Sevitzky, the orchestra’s conductor has chosen for the remainder of the program, the Third or "Scotch” Symphony by Mendelssohn, an arrangement )jy Deems Taylor of Debussey Nocturnes, and “My Country At War” by Harl McDonald. Reservations for either concert are being taken now at the Murat box office.

SCHOOL NEWS Porter Studios were at school to-, day taking pictures of the various clubs, 'groups - and organizations within the school for the high school annual, “The Speedette.” Miss Agnes Spencer is in charge of the publication for the second consecutive year. Mrs. Bowers and members of the high school dance orchestra met at ihe school building for their first practice as a school organization Thursday evening. Application has been sent in for membership for a Junior Red Cross Chapter in the Speedway High School. Mrs. Gray will have charge of the local chapter. The Hi-Y Club in the high school held their second meeting preliminary to their regular organization meeting Wednesday after school. Mr. Trosky is in charge of the Hi-Y Club. The Speedway High School basketball team plays at Lawrence tonight. If Speedway wins the game and Greenwood should lose to Mooresville later this season, Speedway would win the Mid-State championship. Since Anthony, the star Greenwood player, will graduate before the Greenwood-Moores-ville game, it is very likely that Mooresville will be the winner of that game. Next week Speedway will play at Beech Grove. Locker Plants in U. S. From less than 250 in 1935, the number of frozen-food locker plants has grown to an estimated 4,600 in 1942, and restrictions on materials have reportedly halted the construction of 2,000 more plants. The average plant provides 338 lockers. The industry handles nearly one billion pounds of food annually and serves nearly six million consumers. Eggs A government program to insure a market for farmers in 12 southern states who have expanded egg productton to meet wartime requirements will again be available in 1945.
