ST. CHRISTOPHER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH Rev. L. A. Lindemann Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses ....7:00 o’clock I At the 8:30 o’clock Mass on Sunday, August 4th, the men of the Parish will receive Holy Communion. Our Meditations during .the month of August ere on the Blessed Sacrament. Tuesday—August 6th—is the feast day of the Transfiguration of our Lord. It was with regret, and still with rejoicing, that we learned that our own Archibishop Joseph E. Ritter is to go to St. Louis. We are most sorry to lose him, but we are indeed happy to know that he has been so honored. All that the members of St. Christopher are thinking, talking, eating and sleeping—if they can find time to eat and sleep—this week is the ANNUAL LAWN FESTIVAL. Each night before the beginning on Thursday evening the boys and men gathered on the grounds and busied themselves putting up stands and getting everything ready to entertain the guests. On Wednesday evening, the ladies came down and made everything ready in the Big Tent toward the successful serving of food and in the Variety Booth. Many people each morning this week are attending Holy Mass and receiving Holy Communion, petitioning Almighty God for His blessings on their efforts. For most everyone realizes only too well that they can accomplish nothing without the help of Almighty God. Every day ladies can be found in the kitchen in the Parish Hall preparing the food for that day. Of course, Saturday night at midnight will be the “big event” —the awarding of the Nash ear to some lucky person. In our browsing around the first few days this week, we found that St. Christophers Lawn Festival is coming to be a tradition to folks in Speedway—end especially to the younger folk. “When is the Fish Fry going to be?”, we heard. ’Then when preparations began and the Big Tent went up, the excitement began. And St. Christopher is happy to entertain them all, so come down often and bring your friends. ‘Tt is more blessed to give than to receive”—Acts 20:35. Nora Bray.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED that when the other fellow is set in his way, he’s obstinate; when we are, it is just firm-, ness. When the other fellow doesn’t like your friends, he’s prejudiced; when you don’t like his, we are simply showing that we are a good judge of human nature. . When the other fellow tries to treat someone especially well, he’s toadying; when we try the same game, we are showing tact. When the other fellow picks flaws in things, he’s cranky; when we do, we are discriminating.

Girl Scouts Close West Side Day Camp The Indianapolis and Marion County Girl Scouts organization wish to express their sincere appreciation to the people of Speedway who helped to make their Day Camp program a success this past month. The Girl ScOut Day Camp was in session from July 1 to July 26, in Dittrich’s woods on Road 34. Approximately 230 girls and leaders- had fun in the out-of-doors during this time. Through this experience these people have learned to live and play happily together. Without the help of interested townpeople this could not be possible. Before the camp could open a lot of work had to be done. Paths had to be cleared, latrines built, large areas cleared and weeds cut. For this work the <t*dads” came forth. Mr. Paul Parke, Mr. Degener, Mr. Tipps, Mr. Templin, Mr. Brockman and others worked untiringly to accomplish this. Mrs. Hackleman and Mrs. Middleton did a good job buying equipment. The Schoonover Hardware Store and Mrs. Lyons were very cooperative in this task. Contacts had to be made with the food merchants to be able to buy the food supplies I during the four weeks. Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Lambert, Mrs. Skeeters, Mrs. Parke, Mrs. Emingholtz and Mrs. Smith found time to see to this. They also helped with the daily shopping, making it possible for the campers to cook their noon meal each day. The A. & P., Zinks Market and others served us very courteously. Mrs. Graybill helped to provide a Girl Scout standard for the health and safety of the girls. The Speedway Fire and Police Department promised to come to our assistance in case of serious accident We did not meed to use this service but we are grateful to Mr. Flynn for his offer. Each day approximately 50 gallons of water was needed, the Speedway ! Water Works provided this, and we appreciate Bob Cassaday for i hauling it to the site. | The Girl Scout organization feels sure that through a camp experience our children come in contact with some of the precious ingredients which, blended together, will bring us nearer to a world of peace and understanding. To all who helped to make this possible so close to Speedway, we say a very sincere “thank you!”
