WORKER’S \ CONFERENCE The monthly Worker’s Conference* of the Speedway Christian Church was held Monday evening, Oct. 25, in the social room of the church. Ttyfc program given by the nursery department emphasized Christian Literature Week. Mrs. Alice Templin gave the devotions pointing out the fact that a child’s spiritual development should receive as much attention as other phases of his life. ’Mrs. Louise Newsome discussed a few books pertaining to worship for children of all ages, namely, “Small Rain” by Jones for kindergarten children or primary, “Thine Is the Glory” by Taylor for primary ages, and ‘Come Everyone and Worship” by Keiser for juniors. Mrs. Martha Burton showed some books dealing with art in Christian education, such as Maus’ ‘Christ and the Fine Arts” and ‘The World’s Great Madonnas.” The former book consists of pictures and their stories, the origins of many songs, and many very worthwhile poems. There are pictures representing the Madonnas of seven countries, poems and songs in ‘The World’s Great Madonnas.” ‘The Christ Child” by Petersham is the Christmas story with splendid illustrations. All primary and younger children should have a copy of this fine book. Mrs. Nellie Bilbee pointed out the vqjue of prayer books for little children to aid in developing Christian attitudes. “Prayer for a Child” by Rachel Field is highly recommended for every nursery and kindergarten child. This book and others are in the church library. Mrs. Griffin, superintendent of nursery department, partially reviewed several fictional books pertaining to ministerial and church board problems. She stopped at the climax of “The Victory of Paul Kent” and now the group will all be clamoring for the copy to learn the ending. These teachers in a gracious i manner reminded us of the wealth of material available in’our own church library. A list of the books was given each one present and ‘ may *be used for quick reference in lesson preparation. One group of books not discussed was the story books. Most x evpry type of story is readily accessible for supplement in the lesson period. The monthly magazine “Children’s Activities” which is full of varied activities, poems, pictures

and stories, will be in the library also. Following the literature discussions Mrs. Helen Kelley, children’s superintendent, emphasized a cardinal principle of Christianity, namely that “religion is contagious and each teacher should so enjoy her work that she ‘glows’, thus exposing the child to the love of God. Consequently the children will see her love for her task and it is hoped will desire to be*a worker in church service. Thus we will be ‘growing teachers’ from youth.” Cookies and coffee were enjoyed during the departmental meetings. The program pt the Nov. 22 meeting will be conducted by the junior department.

WXLW Presents Serious Music' Indianapolis’ newest radio stations, WXLW and WXLW-FM, present each day several programs of serious music which before have been difficult for local listeners to find on their sets. The feature presentation in this type of better music is the “Deems Taylor Concerts” heard Monday through Friday at 1 p.m. Well known to radio listeners for his seven year stint as intermission commentator for the Philharmonic Symphony broadcasts, in this new series Deems Taylor offers his own selections of the world’s great classic music masterpieces, his own commentary and weekly guest appearances by famous soloists, instrumentalists, composers and conductors. Taylor has very definite ideas on music programming. He says, “I intend to build balanced concerts aimed at, rather than over the heads of listeners. Good music becomes even better when presented in conjunction with other works that frame and set it off.” Famous guests such as Gladys Swarthout and Lawrence Tibbett appear each Wednesday as a regular weekly high point in the Deems Taylor Concerts. Next Wednesday Carol Brice, young contralto, will be the Taylor guest. Miss Brice’s varied career really began when she sang in the chorus of the Hot Mikado at the New York World’s Fair. Wednesday she will sing songs from El Amor Brujo and a selection from Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer. By interviews with famous personalities from the world of music, together with the music of- these artists, Taylor believes listeners willie given a deeper understanding and heightened appreciation of the musical works presented.

YOUR FREEDOM TO READ . By GEOBGES. BENSON President cl Heading College Searcy. Arkansas

AMONG PRIVILEGES we enjoy as Americans, free speech and free print are of first rank. Most of us prize these and other freedoms, though we give little thought to them. We just take them for granted. A Gallup -poll on the Bill of Rights would embarrass a majority of our citizens. Try your own poll and see how many of your friends can name the freedoms listed in the First Amendment to the Constitution. > Freedom of the press is one of those freedoms. We are benefited by this freedom every day. The information that helps make intelligent citizens eomes to us freely. Our press not curbed nor restricted by the ill-conceived notions of some tyrant or dictator. We can buy the public prints we choose, and at a very reasonable price. We can buy many of them, including those with opposing points of view, without taking very much change out of our pocket. Independent WHY THE small Press price of newspa- \ pen and magazines? Just the paper and printing costs would amount to as much as we pay for them! Does a fearsome dictator pay the difference? Does a tax-rich bureaucracy foot the bill just to keep itself in power? Are our public “prints” subsidized by Congressional appropriations? No, they are not. Then how do we have freedom of press, when we are able to buy for a nickel what costs so much more? These things are accomplished through advertising. Advertising thus becomes one of the basic features of American democracy. It is easy to see that the advertising space sold by the publishers of our newspapers and magazines makes it possible for a publishing enterprise to pay its bills. Because of advertising, our great press is able to remain independent, and at the same time render important service to the American people.

Educating ADVERTISING ITMasses SELF performs the major service of increasing constantly the already high standard of living which America enjoys. Our industry depends upon advertising to do ita share in the efficient distribution of all the things that it makes in meeting the needs and desires of the people. And whenever something new is developed, advertising carries the message to those who may want the new product or new service. Not only does advertising sell goods, it also sells the desire to improve. Americans have never wanted to become static. When people have no desire for better living standards, then your groat output of factories will have to stop. Advertising creates the desire to buy that keeps our economy on the move. It sells goods, and in selling them it is the groat educator of the masses. These facts show us that 'the business of advertising has an important bearing upon our freedom of press. If we cherish freedom of the press, we must also respect our publications as business enterprises. We need to understand that expenses of gathering news from all over the world for American readers, are paid in large part by revenues from advertising space. 1 say these things because there are those who attack the American Way by the sneak method. These destroyers (from within and without) will not attack freedom of the press. They know we cherish it. But they will attack advertising. They will not attack our high standards of living, which they envy. But they will attack the profit idea, without which American initiative and enterprise would cease to give us jobs and goods. May we ever be on our guard against those who would knock out the very props from under America!

American Legion Auxiliary The Speedway Unit of The American Legion Auxiliary in conjunction with Memorial and Indianapolis Railways Units gave a party for the patients at Billings ■Veterans’ Hospital Thursday evening, Oct. 21. More than 125 patients attended the affair, many in wheel chairs and some on stretchers. A feature which aroused a great deal of interest was a contest to guess the number of grains of corn on an ear. Guesses ranged from 250 to 4950 grains, with the ex-farmers coming closest to being right. There actually were 1035 grains on the ear'and the winner guessed 1025, thereby winning a can of tobacco (and he was a nonsmoker). Refreshments of popcorn, candy, coco cola and cigarettes were served by the members of the Auxiliary and all the patients there seemed to enjoy the festivities a great deal. Those attending from the Speedway Unit included Mrs. Paul Eberts, Rehabilitation Chairman of the unit; Miss Margaret Eastridge, Mr. Paul Eberts, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Daniels, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Riehman, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ludy, Mrs. Earl C. Wiseman, Jr., Mrs. Walter Chapman, and Mrs. Archie Pace.
