There is a great deal of work to be done this year and every single pair of hands is needed. Remember always that God is never outdone in generosity. Just think how terrible it would be if we had no Church—and don’t let the other women do your part. These meetings start with business, but “wind-up” a party. Do come.

On Thursday, June 16, the Feast of Corpus Christi is celebrated. “Live each day as if you were going to live forever, but live each day knowing that you may' die tomorrow.” Nora Bray.

Speedway Men’s Soft Ball Regular play got off to a bang up start Monday evening at the High School Athletic Field. There were considerable errors, sore muscles and a lot of fun. Choice auto parking was at a premium with the school lot taking the overflow. Teams seem to be pretty evenly matched.

First up were the Marathons and Seniors for a grand slugfest of six innings in the 65-minute limit. The Seniors came off with 2 runs to the good, defeating the Marathons 7 to 5. Next came the Lions and Flyers to finish the full seven innings in 53 minutes. It was all Lions for six and a half innings with the Lions leading 4 to. 2. Then the roof fell in. When the dust cleared away the Flyers were out on top 6 to 4. Tuesday evening the Kats and Bearcats tore each other’s fur out for a full seven innings and slammed the pill all over the field. It was pretty well even for the first two innings. In the third the Bearcats scored 7 runs to lead 7 to 4. Then the Kats found the mark and belted in 7 runs to win 11 to 7. All six teams have now played one game. Next Monday, June 13, 5:45 p. m., the Bearcats and Flyers tangle in the first game and the Seniors and Kats follow

immediately. On Tuesday, June 14, 6:30 p. m., Marathon and Lions. Players are requested to be on time because time is absolutely necessary. Let’s go fellows. Let’s have that fun and let’s keep it clean.
