The Chairmen and Co-Chairmen of the various games and booths are Messrs. Joseph Daley, Wilbur Riedy, Larry Dugan, Carl Sheets, Vincent Rolles, Sen Althoff, John T.

And again St Christopher invites all its friends and their friends to come eat and be merry with them on these three nights. • Sunday is the Feast Day of. St. Mary Magdalen. Thursday of this week was the Feast Day of St. Vincent de Paul. Next week, are two important Feast Days, especially to St. Christopher Church.

All your prayers are requested for the success of the Lawn Festival. “Love does no evil to a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the Law”—Romans 13:10. Nora Bray

Cpl. Charles Tremor and Miss Dorothy Skillman were united in marriage July 13th. The Reverend H. E. Anderson performed the ceremony in the Speedway Christian Church. Cpl. James Tremor was his brother’s best man and the bride was attended by Mrs. Harvey Phipps Jr. The mothers of the bride and groom witnessed the ceremony. Other guests who attended were the sisters of the bride and groom, Sgt. Harvey Phipps and Sgt. John Ramsay. The FLYER extends heartiest congratulations to this happy couple. The Tremor twins have been enjoying a well-earned leave in and out of Speedway and are reporting for duty the first part of August. Let’s not forget that the boys still have birthdays. They all appreciate a card from their friends.

About The Public Library The response to the appeal for signers for the Speedway Public Library indicates the interest that all the people of Speedway have in those things that make for the permanent good of our no mean city. More than 200 signatures were attached to the petition and these were turned over to the town board for proper disposition. Things like starting a public library do not grow overnight like mushrooms but are the result of patient thought and planning. Such planning will no doubt go into the future of Speedway Library and we, the citizens of Speedway, should take time out now and then to thank such men as the Town Board and the School Board for their work in our behalf. Those of us who have never lived in any other part of the country may not realize just how many public spirited men have labored for the good of this little community.

The Speedway Water Works is a memorial to one old-timer of Speedway: the streets and sewers are the result of a bit of concerted planning from several men. Just give the men of the present boards a little time and some wholehearted support and we shall have an additional working testimonial to the spirit of Speedway—a public library. Your Fire Dept. News Fire Chief Flinn completed another course recently at Purdue University on “Principles of Fire Fighting." This w'as conducted by the Indiana Fire Service, a special course for instructors. A great deal of emphasis was placed on ventilation. Strange as it seems, it is necessary to ventilate any building fire so that the smoke and gases that accumulate may escape so that the base of the fire may be found. Remember—in case of Fire—call Be. 1400. Police—call Be. 1400.

SPEEDWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH The Rev. Howard Anderson. Minister EACH SUNDAY First Service 9:00 A M. Second Service _ 11:00 A. M. Once more we invite the people of Speedway to attend one of our morning services. We have church school classes for all ages. Our fine teaching staff is staying on the job throughout the summer so that your children may receive adequate Christian instruction. Come to church next Sunday. The soloist for both services will be Miss Edith Spencer, who will sing Van de Water’s “The Good Shepherd”. The Cloister Choir will sing for the nine o’clock service and the Chancel Choir will sing for the second hour of worship. The Reverend Mr. Anderson will preach on the subject, “Why Some People Are Religious”. The Golden Rule Bible Class will enjoy a picnic supper at’ Riverview Park next Sunday evening at five o’clock. Cars will leave Speedway at four o’clock. Anyone who desires transportation should call either Mr. R. M. Phillips or Mr. Charles Strouse. Los Amigos Class will meet at Riverside Park for a picnic supper tonight, July 20th, at six-thirty o’clock. All class members, and families, and friends are invited to attend this picnic. The regular workers’ conference of the church School will be held at the church next Thursday evening, July 26th, at seven-thirty o’clock. All teachers of the church school and the departmental heads are asked to be present for this conference. There will be a baptismal service at the church Sunday afternoon, July 29th, at four o’clock. All candidates for baptism should be present at this time.

Something Different Soon! The Christian Ministers Association, the Marion County Christian Church Union, and the Marion County Christian Church School Association for several months have been working on a special plan, and now offer the following challenge to Christian churches: 1. That all (46 Christian churches) of this county and city put on some kind of an evangelistic program at the same time this fall.

2. The period of time covers six weeks, Oct. 21 to Nov. 30. Most churches that have such programs do ordinarily select two or three weeks during these fall weeks. Surely every church can find a part of these six weeks suitable for such a grand united effort with all sister churches. 3. The type of effort in evangelism is left solely up to the individual congregation. Such types as “Home Visitation,” “Personal Work day and night in the week and special emphasis on Sunday,” and “Mass Meeting: Night by Night” or a little of all three
