They want to thank everyone who helped turn their Mother Hubbard pantry shelves into Horns of Plenty. Mrs. Maxine Massey of 5318 Carlton Way was the first lucky member of the Merchandise Club.

Save this date open.

*Plug«” Make It 18 Straight Coach Ralph Johnson and his hard fighting eleven opened the season with a well-earned victory by turning back a harddriving Brownsburg squad 13 to 6. An estimated crowd of 2,000 fans attended the game at the newly dedicated football field. The “Bulldogs” of Brownsburg scored early in the first quarter on a pass from fullback Bruce Rosemeyer to end Stanley Meadows. They failed to achieve the extra pAint, making the score Brownsburg 6, Speedway 0. Speedway struck back via the air in the same quarter, putting the “Plugs” ahead 7 to 6. Again in the second quarter Dave Wilson passed to end Dick Boles for the Sparkie second and last touchdown of the evening, making the halftime and final score 13 to 6 in favor of the “Spark Plugs.” In the second half both teams threatened, but neither one could hit pay dirt.

Issued Every Week to Every Home in Speedway

Notice To Certain Property Owners In The Town of Speedway It has been called to my attention that some hedges in Speedway are too high. Knowing that nd Speedway citizen will wilfully disobey any ordinance or law I shall quote the provisions of the Building Code regarding a fence,* namely: Along the side property line of dwellings or apartment houses or in any restricted district of business buildings no fence shall be built in front of the zone line that is over three-and-a-half (3%) feet in height, and no fence shall be built beyond such zoning building line that is over seven (7) feet in height By definition a hedge is “a fence of bushes or shrubs often used as a barrier.” Such being the reading of the ordinance and the dictionary regarding “hedges”, I have no course but to inform 1 Speedway home-owners that con- 1 formance to the letter is required. Certain corners have obstructed view which will be greatly improved by a reduction in hedge height to 42 inches. The penalty of the law for failure to comply is a fine not to exceed SSOO to which may be added a jail sentence of 10 days in the Marion County jail It is not the intention of the Town of Speedway to be arbitrary about this matter but to remind certain property owners that such an ordinance does exist as a part of the Building Code of the Town. Your wholehearted cooperation will improve the safety conditions of Speedway. Certainly no hedge*is worth the life of one little boy or girl, and the fact that we can see around the corner without vision obstruction makes driving more pleasant. Nus Sed; Let’s cut ’em! Ivan A. Hanen, Bldg. Insp.

“All-Stars” Play To Tie The Indianapolis All-Stars opened the 1949 football season with a 6-6 tie at the Pendleton Reformatory. Coach Ronald Dodds believing this game a breather before the conference opener are Cincinnati next week, had anything but a breather ball game to contend with. From the starting whistle the reformatory showed that they were indeed ready for this contest and would take no less than a victory. The reformatory scored in the middle of the first quarter on a sustained 53 yard drive with the fullback carrying the ball over from the 3 yard line. Their play was quite deceptive, operating from the “T” and more than once caught the. All-Stars napping on quick kicks. William Wertz, new coach of the reformatory this year should be congratulated for producing by far the best team the reformatory has turned out in the last five years.
