There will be services each night for all members of the family. The Chapel is small, but it should be well filled for each service. The first Mass on week days is at six o’clock in the morning, followed by instructions. The second Mass will follow. The Mission will close on Sunday, October Bth. Last Sunday there were men stationed outside the Church to contact the fathers and sons to inquire who would be coming to the Communion Breakfast, which will follow the 8:30 o’clock High Mass on Sunday, October Bth. Again this Sunday, men will be stationed outside the Church at all the Masses for the convenience of those who want to come to the Breakfast and are not already taken care of. It is hoped that every man in the Parish, who possibly can, will attend this Communion Breakfast. z Monday, October 2d, is the Feast Day of the Holy Guardian Angels. ' Saturday, September 30th, is the Feast Day of the Little Flower of Jesus. Marie Francoise Therese Martin, usually known as The Little Flower of Jesus, was born at Alencon, in France, on January 2, 1873. At the age of fifteen she entered the Carmelite convent, Lisieux, where she spent nine years and a half in the practice of every virtue. She distinguished herself chiefly by her burning love for God and her'wonderful trust in Him, and on September 30, 1897. died in the odor of sanctity at the age of 24. Since her death countless graces have been attributed to her intercession. She was beatified by His Holiness Pope Pius XI, on April 29, 1923, and canonized May 17, 1925. The public Novena to this Saint, being held at the Church of the Little Flower in Indianapolis, will close Tuesday night, October 3d. Friday, October 6th, is the first Friday of the month.

Relief Clothing Campaign Begins hi Speedway

Following liberation of the heroic peoples of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Yugoslavia, and others, the United Nations face the great task of relief. With the approach of winter, the need for clothing for victims of war becomes one of the most pressing problems confronting the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. Throughout war-torn areas clothing is very scarce or threadbare and worn out. And because of the demands of armed forces and civilian needs, the manufacture' of clothing in the United States or other countries to relieve these distressed people will not get under way for some time. This means the needy men, women and children in liberated countries mgst greatly depend on the help of the American people. While some collections of clothing have already been made by private organizations for particular countries, UNRRA must have a supply of clothing which can be sent to any liberated country where need is great. The religious communities of America, representing all faiths and creeds, will co-operate in an effort to collect from members and friends thru churches, parishes and synagogues millions of pounds of clothing—men's, women’s and children’s—for distribution in liberated areas. The drive began Sept. 24. Clothing needed is listed as follows: All types of useful wearable garments—outerwear should be cleaned, but not dry cleaned; undergarments and all types of cotton garments should be washed before contributed; shoes are not to be collected at -this time; in addition to practical clothing, blankets, sheets, pillowcases, quilts, etc., are needed. St. Christopher’s and Speedway Christian Church will be glad to receive any of the above articles from anyone in Speedway or any of their friends.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1! 44

When Germany renders, Must We Stage r inkenOrgy? REPORTS from various c js inccate that the fear of disorderly celebrations througho, the Taited States when Germany surrenders is so great that'd' rimer-t stores, hotels, municipal police departments, and other bv ess and civic agencies are wisely making plans for protection o f: ar d property when the armistice is announced. While wisdom dictate i-h precautions, it is to be hoped that in every community plans rrilL also be made for the kind of observance that will do credit to eace-loving democracy. The following suggestions are offeree ay William H. Allen, Director of the Institute for Public Servic New York: "How U. S. A. celebi s the coming armistice with Germany will tell the world—inclw » the liberated nations, United Nations, beaten Germany and to-b eater Japan—how much or little we have grown because of c families?, our country’s and a world’s sacrificing. "New Yoifk City’s ho save anticipated our schools, colleges and churches in publicly :i g that this next armistice celebration be riot led by alcohol and spirit of irresponsible destruction. “Will not schools, col? as and churches—yes and service cluibs, Stock exchanges, etc. —of piritual and patriotic alternatives or supplefnentlrto a pagan t c .cb where remembrance and understanding as well as tatter papers, are thrown to the winds? z “If to the most exter e.y end expensively schooled people in the world the coming Ge m armistice means only another day’s freedom from school and : xuntobility in order to join mobs, then our vaunted education is Viang to fit us for self-government and prepare us against World ar IF”—The American City, Sept. 1944.
