St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L A Lindemann .Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses. 7:00 o’clock Saturday is not only the first Saturday of the month, but it is the Feast Day of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On July 3, the men of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion at the 8:30 o’clock Mass. Mrs. Joseph Rosner, President of the Altar Society, called a meeting Friday evening of this week for all the Chairmen of all the various activities in which the ladies of St. Christopher participate at the ANNUAL LAWN FESTIVAL which is to be held on August 18th, 19th and 20th. Many other ladies who had offered their help also attended the meeting. The Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is Saturday, July J6th. Novena to our Lady will begin on next Friday, July Bth. Since there will be no Flyer next week, please check your other papers for time of services annually held at the Carmelite Monastery on Cold Spring Road. Mrs. Eva Carlsen and Mrs. Nora Bray plan on attending the Day of Recollection at Marian College on Sunday, July 24, sponsored by the Legion of Mary. If anyone is interested, either in going or wanting to know the details, she should call Nora Bray as soon as possible so that reservations may be sent \jn to the proper parties. These Days of Recollection are something long to be remembered, and one way of showing God love and appreciation. Since there will be no Flyer on July Bth or July 15th, attention of the ladies of St. Christopher is called to the regular monthly meeting of the Altar Society on Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, July 20th. This is the third Wednesday in the month. The hostesses for this meeting are Mrs. Agnes Althoff, Chairman, Mrs. Mary Endres, Co-Chairman, assisted by Mesdames John Ferguson, Katherine Renard, Rose Chard Wilhelmina Wiseman, Nellie Craft, Nora Bray, Lena Williams, Eva Carlsen, Dorothy Arthur, Mazie Bender, Helen Swift, Helen Herring, Aldene Gropp, Helen Leak, Jessie Dever, Bertha Wilson and Miss Marjorie Craft. Mrs. Mary Agnes Johnson was to have been a hostess, but she moved from Clermont to Broad Ripple, I believe they said. Ladies of St. Christopher, please, set aside this night and attend in great numbers, because every lady is needed in some place or another at the Lawn Festival. And Mrs. Mary Ann Arnold, Chairman of the October Needle Work and Bake Sale, would like for the ladies to start thinking, and making if they wish, handmade articles for this Sale. We all realize that handmade articles can’t be made over night: and we all know, that last year s Sale made good because there were so many beautiful articles to sell. “There is no riches above the riches of the health of the body . . . and there is no pleasure above the joy of the heart.” Ecclesiasticus 30:16. Nora Bray.

more power than ever before. The engine represents a redesign of the original J 35 engine and is rated at 5000 pounds dry static thrust. Other planes powered by this new engine are the USAF RB-358 Northrop “Flying Wing,” the wing pod installation in the famous B-36 Consolidated Vultee bomber, and the U. S. Navy FJ-1 North American “Fury”. A number of other improvements over the previous engine were designed by Allison in the rec o r d-breaking development period of slightly more than one year. These include a 6 per cent improvement in fuel economy, an increase in cotnbustion liner life of 300 to 400 percent and a weight reduction of 140 pounds. The J 35 turbo-jet engine is now allowed 150 hours between overhauls and tests are under way for 200 hour clearance.

In the design of the new engine, Allison engineers aimed also at an improvement in engine reliability and as a result the standard 150 hour model test, required of all aircraft engines, was completed in a total of 152 hours elapsed time on the test stand. During that test, the engine was run continuously for 146 hours without stop. LAWN SOCIAL W.S.C.S. METHODIST CHURCH, 5075 W. 16TH ST., SATURDAY, JULY 16TH.

Flyer Vacation The Speedway Flyer will go on vacation the Bth and 15th of July. This has been the custom for the past several years to give the editor and staff a complete rest.

Speedway Men’s Soft Ball TEAM STANDINGS Team W. L. Marathon 2 2 Seniors .2 1 Lions 1 3 Flyers 1 2 Kats 3 1 Bearcats .2 2 Mexican 1 0 Lockers 0 " 1

Help! Send a boat! Won’t someone please tell that weatherman not to make it rain on Tuesday. That’s twice in a row now. Last Thursday evening, June 23, the Mexican Leaguers and Speedway Lockers, two new incoming teams, picked up their first game and had a banging good time. The Mexicans outscored the Lockers by 5 runs to win 16 to 11. Sunday afternoon, June 26, the Bearcats and Seniors picked up their preceding Tuesday game which had met sudden disaster at the hands of the weatherman. A 15-minute deluge, Tuesday evening, sent everyone racing for shelter in the top of the second inning and left the field standing in water. Sunday’s game was really a ball game, the best of the season so far. Three up and three down- was the order until the last inning when the Seniors scored twice on good hits and then went to sleep just long enough to permit a Bearcat on third to sneak home for their only score. Hard hit fly balls were dead ducks against a strong southwest wind- and most of. them floated back to waiting infield hands.

Monday evening’s first game between the Marathon and Kats was fairly even until the fifth inning, but fatal to the undefeated Kats. Their only run came in the second inning while the underdog Marathons scored twice in the fifth and then poured 3 more on in the seventh to clinch their second win 5 to 1.

The second game between the Lions and Bearcats was called after the first of the seventh on account of darkness and to prevent further slaughter. The Lions scored twice in the first and once in the seventh for a total of 3. The Bearcats evidently had raw meat for supper. They banged out 5 in the second, 12 in the fourth and tapered off with 7 in the sixth, to finish with the season’s highest score of 24 to 3. Tuesday evening the Seniors were scheduled to take on the Mexicans with the Flyers and Lockers in the second game. You know what happened. About an hour before game time it rained —then it rained again—then it rained some more and at this writing it’s still raining. These games will be picked up as soon as possible. Anybody wanna donate a boat and hip boots.

Another warning is necessary to spectators—not only to children but adults as well KEEP BACK FROM THE BASE LINES. You are very cordially invited to see all these games but please sit where you are safe. Not six feet from first base or third, but 12 or 15 feet back. A pair of spikes in your face or body, or a smashed baby’s head from a hard hit foul ball will not be pretty. Don’t be foolish—let’s keep it safe for everyone. And let’s keep those bikes off the field when a game is in session. There will be a game, maybe two, July s—4f the weatherman cooperates. No regular games were scheduled over the 4th of July. Players will be notified by phone. Schedules may be changed from July 11 on through to the finish Aug. 16.
