St. Christopher’s Catholic Church Rev. L. A. Lindemann. Pasto* Sunday Masses: 6:00 o’clock Weekday Masses— r 7:00 o’clock At the 8:30 o’clock Mass Sunday morning the young people of St. Christopher will receive Holy Communion. That sweet little Irish lassie, Patricia Ann Mcßride—we call her Patty—drew out the lucky name last week in the Merchandise Club. It was Mrs. Mary Burke’s card. So Mrs. Burke, of 1612 Cord St., has some new sheets and pillow-cases, Patty. Mrs. Arnold and all her committee wish to say, “a million thanks to everybody.” The baked goods were wonderful and all the ladies were so generous. The beautiful art work was admired by many and the ladies on the committee were kept busy making change. Mrs. Arnold and her ladies wish to thank especially the Speedway Savings and Loan for the use of the room last Friday and Saturday. They thank too the different merchants who were so kind as to display the advertising posters in their windows. Mrs. Arnold has at her home the art goods which was not sold last some of it came in late and because there were so many beautiful pieces that it was impossible to move it all in a day and a half—so if you didn’t get down, or if you did and you want something else, call Marion over on Beeler and we know that she will be happy to show you some of the beautiful aprons, pillow-cases, potholders, and other lovely things which she has. The ladies who worked on the Rummage Sale Saturday did real well too, and Mrs. Eddleman and her committee wish to thank everybody for their cooperation. A Rummage Sale may not be as glamorous an affair as some of the other projects, but the ladies always have a lot of fun along with their hard work. Mrs. Mary Mcßride was taken io the St. Vincent Hospital Tuesday afternoon for an operation. Her room number is 208. She expects to be there about a week. We’re all pulling for you, Mary. Little Keiran Lucas, formerly of the Parish, is very ill with pneumonia at the St. Vincent Hospital. However, her mother, Faye, told us Tuesday evening that she was improved. We hope that she soon is back home again. Te Deum Public Forums in Indianapolis will open at 8:15 at the Murat Theatre next Wednesday evening, October 19.

Next week activity is scheduled for St. Christopher’s new hall, but the ladies will be circulating in the parish and among their friends selling Book Review tickets for the first review of the 1949-50 series which is to be held on Thursday evening, October 27. The book to be reviewed will be announced next week. On Monday, October 17, we will remember the Virgin, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. The Cook Book Committee would like to remind the ladies that they still have some books to sell —not too many, it is true, so if you are going to buy some for Christmas giving or other gifts, don’t wait too long. Call Betty Meyer on Winton, Emma Jean Rosner, BE-1715, or Nora Bray, BE-0586 (evenings or week-ends), and books will be delivered to you pronto. “There is no riches above the riches of the health of the body.”—Ecclesiastics 30:18 . . . but if you do not have health of the body, accept it praying to the Infant Jesus of Prague, “Patiently to suffer for Thee.” Nora Bray.

Halloween Notice Once again we are nearing Halloween and once again we ask that everyone give us their full co-operation in observing this seasonal holiday. To the young folks we ask that you please remember that destruction of property is just as much a violation of the law on Halloween as at any other time. The law is very plain about the penalties that shall be imposed upon anyone who damages or destroys public or private property, so first ask yourself if you are about to play a trick on someone or commit a crime. To the parents we ask that you please instruct your young folk on the difference between a trick and destruction of property, and that Halloween is the last of the month and does not carry through the entire month. Let’s all have fun but make it good clean fun. SPEEDWAY POLICE DEPT.

Town Topics Have you been wondering about all of the activity on Main Street? If so, we will give you a pleasant surprise and put your mind at ease. Main Street will soon have Stop and Go signals. They will be located at Tenth, Gilman, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Streets, and will be so adjusted that during the rush hours entrance into, or crossing Main Street can be made without inconvenience to Main Street traffic. Considering the number of automobiles crossing these intersections the town has been very fortunate not to have had several serious accidents, the installation of traffic lights certainly will mimimize the hazzard that has existed for the past few years. The town is indebted to Allison Division of General Motors Corporation for this improvement. It was through their generosity that the town was able to enter into a contract with the Drew Corporation for the installation of the signal lights. When completed and in opera(Continued on Page 6)
