Dear Neighbors: Since opening “The Grille” last July we have tried to anticipate your desires and serve you to the best of our ability with tasty, wholesome food. We have had many requests for America’s favorite sandwich, the “Hamburger” lately. So here’s the news. We now serve hamburgers! Furthermore, they are not the ordinary, present-day hamburgers. The late Zeigfield would have advertised them as “Glorified Hamburgers.” They are of generous size, without filler of any nature—just 100 % ground beef, grilled to your liking rare, medium, or well done. They cost only 15 cents, and they are worth it. We also are fulfilling the request for a hot vegetable of highest quality for you to order with your favorite steak or sandwich. These hot vegetables will be different each day. Remember, neighbors, the Grille is primarily for Speedway folks and your suggestions will always be received gatefully. “ Goodbye now, Your host, Art Blake The GRILLE 14th At Mam St

Even a few friendly glasses of beer will so dull a man’s finer senses that he is easily led by a mob." “I see that a lot of the rioters were teenaged boys.” “That was true here, as it was in New York, Detroit, Texas and the other places where we have had this sort of riot.” “A lot of people say that these teen-aged

ACETYLENE RESEARCH DIVISION • ACETYLENE-CHARGING PLANT CYLINDER AND APPARATUS FACTORY The Army-Navy "E” Pennant that flies over the Prest-O-Lite factory at Speedway, and the official "E” Pins that the men and women of this plant wear, are in recognition of the individual effort and co-operation that made possible the outstanding production achievements for which the Army-Navy Production Award is given. There has come from this organization an uninterrupted flow of acetylene cylinders, carbon dioxide cylinders, acetylene generators, mobile acetylene generating and charging plants, and other apparatus of direct importance to the Army, the Navy, and America’s war-production industries. This accomplishment was possible because the men and women of the Prest-O-Lite organization have been on the job—working hard, day in and day out. They have observed safety rules. They have conserved tools, machines, and materials. Above all, by their individual efforts, they have enabled Prest-O-Lite to make all the cylinders and apparatus the equipment available could produce. It is for this that they are honored by the Army-Navy “E” Award.

These teen-aged boys are the logical product of ten years of the open, legalized saloon, and the direct result of millions of dollars of propaganda the distillers, the brewers and the vintners are spending to increase drinking." “I notice that the first thing the officials do in any city where there is a riot is to close the saloons, the package liquor stores, and every place where intoxicants can be purchased. That was true in Detroit, New York and Texas.” “Yes, that is locking the door after *1 horse is stolen.” B-
