st. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A?'<Lindemann -Pastor Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses ____7:oo o’clock On the fifth Sunday of the month, no special group at St. Christopher receive Holy Communion. Next Friday, August sth, will be First Friday, and Saturday, August 6th, First Saturday. Confessions will be heard as usual on Thursday before First Friday. Many people for years have faithfully kept the First Fridays by going to Confession and receiving Holy Communion, even though their work would not permit them the time to hear Holy Mass. And more people each month are beginning to keep the First Saturdays. On First Fridays, we show our love to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and on First Saturdays to the Immaculate Heart of. Mary- Holy Mother at Fatima promised many things to the world if we all would say daily the Rosary and faithfully keep the Saturday devotions. High Masses this week were at six o’clock on Wednesday morning for Christian Mullerholtz offered by the Fireck family and on Friday morning for the deceased members of the Cullen and McCoy families offered by the Cullen family. Attention Altar Society Members! r And “Altar Society Members” means ALL the ladies who 'are members of St. Christopher Parish. August regular Altar Society meeting has been changed from the third Wednesday night, to the second Wednesday night, AUGUST 10th. Definite plans will be made at this meeting for the Lawn Fete, August 18th, 19th and 20th. Every woman should attend this meeting. St. Christopher Church belongs to all of us, and we should all be happy to work for it. This will be a fine opportunity for new members to get acquainted. Don’t hold back for a special invitation. You, newcomers are just as much a part of the activities as the old members. i The hostesses for the meeting will be Mrs. Lillian Long, chairman, Mrs. Loyola Sheets, co-chairman, assisted by Mesdames Bertha Cohen, Anna Vurpillat, Louise Grande, Kathryn Fogarty, Betty Meyer, Dorothy Unnewehr, Juliet Daley, Eleanor Schaeffer, Marie Anger, Helen Ellerman, Martha Kord, Martha Rogers, Marjorie Connor, Mary Smith. It is to be regretted that more ladies of St. Christopher did not make the Day of Recollection at Marian College last Sunday, It is really surprising how so many women can keep silence from the beginning of Holy Mass to the end of Holy Hour in the afternoon, except when it is absolutely necessary to talk. Mrs. Clara Aulbach joined St. Christopher s group. Spjiritual Vitamin for August—“ Hail, Mary, Queen of my heart, my dearest Mother, my life, my sweetness and. my hope!” nora bray.

Hints On Health Watch the Heat Take it easy to avoid heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps as summer temperatures climb. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, indoors or out, particularly on humid days, watch the youngsters who are playing under the merciless rays of the sun, and keep the old folks at rest and in the shade! Eating less so that the circulatory system is not taxed, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking an increased amount of salt at meals, as well as salt tablets at other times, helps too. Headache is a warning symptom of heat stroke, heat exhaustion or heat cramps. Nausea, lassitude, and cessation of sweating are early symptoms of heat stroke; dizziness, sense of exhaustion, and excessive sweating and dizziness during or following heavy work are warning of heat cramps. In heat stroke, most serious of the three conditions, the temperature is high, the skin hot and dry, the face is flushed, and the

person stricken is unconscious. In heat exhaustion, the temperature may be subnormal or only slightly elevated, and the skin is moist, sometimes cool and clammy.

All-Stars Drill At Christian Park Weather suited for anything but football greeted the All-Stars on Sunday as they held their first practice of the 1949 campaign. Several of last year’s key players were missing due largely to the baseball season plus the intense heat. The turnout was gratifying to Mgr. Jerry York as boys from nearly every section of Indianapolis turned out for the first practice. Due to the heat the practice was cut short with passing, kicking, and an explanation of a few plays which new coach Ronald Dodds plans to use this fall.

Ronald Dodds,' former Butler University star, has been selected to take the place of coach L A. Iverson who is leaving the state after two successful years as head coach of the All-Stars. Coach Dodds believes that the early season start will more than put the boys in condition for the full 15 game schedule. Next practice is scheduled for Sunday morning, July 31, at 10:00 a. m., at Christian Park, 4200 East English avenue. Any boy wishing to try out is cordially invited to come out. All candidates are requested to furnish shoes, warm up suits, or trunks until the squad is selected and equipment issued. At this time the All-Star schedule is not ready for publication however it will include the leading semi-pro teams in five midwest states.

Breakfast Time In the early dawn . . .at break of day No one astir but me, I sit me in my favored nook You ask . . . what do I see? The early dew ... so sparkling . . . keen, On grass and leaflet there. The trees ... so lofty . . . calm and still And bird notes . . . everywhere! A squirrel scampering up a tree, A dove ca 11... sweet and dear. From the wood a melody of song Bursts on my willing ear. In the tree dose by a family Are busy as can be, ’Tis breakfast time and work it takes To unearth . . . worms for three! Sir Robin comes ... alights in my yard And with careful scrutiny He spies a worm and breakfast ... then Is served ... up in yon tree! —Anna E. Young.

Better Living Through Better Planning Indianapolis has been selected for further developing a new program to show that families at any income level can enjoy “better living through better planning” of their homes, according to an announcement made today by H. T. Pritchard, president of Indianapolis Power & Light Co. Four model homes, in a wide range of price classes, are now being built by four well known local builders, all members of the Marion County Residential Builders, Inc., as part of the program, and will be opened for public inspection in October. The complete planning of these homes in accordance with modern standards, from original design to decoration and equipment, has been coordinated under the sponsorship of the Indianapolis Power & Light Company and the Better Homes Bureau of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The local program is based on three years of intensive research, particularly in kitchen and laundry planning, by both the Better Homes Bureau and the Home Economics Institute of Westinghouse’s national organization. A. Carl Bredahl, manager of the Better Homes Bureau, who has been active in arranging the Indianapolis program, said: “We felt this research was needed because the rapid increase in the number of wired homes and the amount of electricity used in each home indicated that electric living has become an essential ingredient in the American way of life. As a result we have established four standards or degrees of electric installation to help families select the one they want and can afford.” pioneer demonstration of the research results was staged last year in Hartford, Conn., and this year in Indianapolis, where the average home uses more electricity than the national average, was selected to further develop the demonstration in four new homes.

Besides the “four degrees of electric living,” with wiring and lighting as well as appliances planned for maximum convenience and safety, the new homes here are to have many new ideas in space arrangement and furnishings. The houses are located as follows: “Deluxe” home, 480 West Hampton Drive, constructed by Robert L. Mason; to be furnished by L. S. Ayres & Company. “Ideal” home, 1154 East 57th street, constructed by Meridian Construction Company; to be furnished by L. S. Ayres & Company. “Budget” home, 2613 East 58th street, south drive, constructed by the Albert E. Thompson Company, to be furnished by Rainier Furniture Company., “Thrift” home, 6404 Evanston avenue, constructed by W. L. Bridges & Son, Inc., to be furnished by Rainier Furniture Company.

Boys and Giris Attention!! There has been an appeal by the Riley Hospital for children’s comic books. Do you have any at your home that you would be willing to share with boys and girls less fortunate than yourself? Please call Mrs. Thomas, Be. 4512 or Mrs. Crawford, Be. 4449 and they will gladly pick them up.

Attend and give Bob a boost during the month of August. *■ A VACATION TIP Once upon a time there was a church member on a vacation hunting trip. Getting caught in the rain, he crawled into a hollow log to keep dry. The log got soaked and swelled up, squeezing the man fast. Thinking that this was the end, all his past life began to appear before him. Suddenly he remembered that he had neglected to pay up his church pledge before he left on his vacation. This made him feel so small that he quickly slipped out of the log without difficulty, hurried back to camp and mailed a check to cover the Sundays he was to be away. Moral—Bo it now! Max Rumple submitted ftt> a hernia operation this week at the Methodist Hospital, ffle will be cheered by hearing from his many friends. Hisr room number is B-541.
