St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses 7:00 o’clock Now that Mother’s Day and Father’s Day have passed, one little girl asked the other day, “■When is little girls’ day?”, we were told. And we feel that she certainly had every right to ask. One way we could have answered her would have been to have said that when she grew up, married and became a mother she would have her day; but knowing little girls that answer would have undoubtedly brought forth many other questions. We could have answered that the day on which each little girl receives her first Holy Communion would certainly be that little girl’s day, and every day thereafter when she receives Jesus into her heart. Sunday, therefore, at St. Christopher’s will be little girls day, and little boys’ day too, for all the boys and girls who receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. » Last Saturday evening, Father Lindemann was host to the members of the choir and their families at their annual party Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rosner were honored in further celebration of their Silver Wedding Anniversary. On Saturday morning, James Leo Rosner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rosner, will be married to Judith E. Baker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Von L. Perkins, of Dayton, Ohio. The Wedding Mass will be read at eleven-thirty in Holy Angeles Church in Dayton. The reception will be from seven until ten o’clock in the evening at the home of the bride, 345 Winsteria Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Gales and Mr. and Mrs. Art Helmchen are among the guests who will motor over to Dayton Saturday morning to attend the wedding. The COOK 800K —a project on which the ladies have been working for weeks—has gone to press. It will sell for SI.OO, and believe us, it will well be worth it, if you never use a recipe ... but you will use a recipe—many recipes. The children are going to love to look at all the P ictl £ es in 1 e book Thanks to everybody who made the publishing of St. Christopher’s Cook Book, “Tops in Food,” possible Save your pennies and the last of July, you may have one for your very own for one dollar. The writer of this column would like to give thanks, publicly, to Our Mother of Sorrows, who brought us through all our trials and worries in the compiling of this book to a happy ending. July Ist is First Frida'y and July 2d First Saturday AU who possibly can will receive Holy Communion and attend Mass on these days, thereby showing their love and e^ss^ g their thanks to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Miss Doris White Honored Miss Doris White, daughter of| Mr. and Mrs. Hester White, 1622 Fisher St, has been chosen to attend Girls State at Bloomington, Ind., and will leave Wednesday, June 29, for the eight-day session. She is being sponsored by Speedway Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary and was selected by a committee of the Speedway High School faculty. The Girls State program has been adopted by the American Legion Auxiliary as part of their Americanism program for the purpose of educating our young girls in, the Iridiana government. She learns how to go about becoming a voting citizen, how to file for and campaign for office. After being elected, she becomes acquainted with the duties her particular office carries, and goes right into the business of executing them. This she does in the same manner as our Indiana government officials. She learns how important it is to be a voting citizen, a representative community leader and an honest officeholder. She is taught how disastrous it is to entrust the governing of our Hoosier state to unqualified people; how serious it is to give full power of lawmaking and the execution thereof to persons who do not give to the people the true form of government for which our state and nation stands. Girls who attend Girls State are chosen from high school juniors who will enter the senior class in September, and must stand high in scholarship, leadership, good moral character, responsibility, personality and willingness to cooperate. According to information received here from Mrs. William E. Brown, Bloomington, Ind., who is Indiana’s director for Girls State, Doris will be associated with 465 other girls of like qualifications, who will be enrolled for the purpose of learning how to become good citizens and leaders in community and state affairs. Also, Mrs. Brown adds, “Highlighting the program at Bloomington will be the colorful inaugural ceremonies on Sunday, July 3, when Gov. Henry F. Schricker will give the oath of office to all the elected officials of Girls State.” This inauguration will be a public affair, to be held at 2 p.m. in the beautiful auditorium at Indiana University. All of Doris’ friends are urged to attend the ceremonies and others who are interested wiU. be welcome. Julia Pace, President, Speedway Unit, American Legion Auxiliary.
