You phone BE. 2405. We send an appraiser to your home without the slightest obligation to you whatsoever. You then visit your Speedway Frank’s Furniture Store. You choose the furniture you want from one of the largest, finest, most value-conscious collections in Indiana. You deduct your trade-in allowance from the price on the tags and you arrange payment of the balance to suit your convenience. That’s all there is to»it. It’s that easy .. . that simple .. . that practical. Some Questions and Answers We’ve been discusssing this plan with some of our customers. They’ve asked some questions that may be occurring to you now. There they are:
Can I come in to see whether I can find the new furniture I want before you send an appraiser to my home? Of course. You are decidedly welcome to visit your Frank’s Furniture Store first (and if you haven’t shopped Frank’s Furniture lately, you’re in for an eye-opening treat)! After you have made your selection } we can arrange to have an appraiser call at your home.

These clothes are much needed by the Little Red Door to be made into bandages for home cancer patients. / Monday evening of this week, a committee meeting was held at the home of the Chairman, Mrs. Dolores Rolles, to plans tor the Women’s Stag Party Thursday, April 29th. Mrs. Pauline Nester is Co-Chairman. The last Woman’s Stag Party was such a happy affair that the April Activity Committee has decided to repeat, instead of having an after Easter card party. Save your rummage for the May Rummage Sale. Members of the Holy Name Society and all who wish to join with them will keep an all night vigil on Holy Thursday, as they have done the past few years. Easter Vigil services will be on Saturday night, exact time to he announced Sunday. However, attendance at this beautiful service, does not excuse anyone from attending Mass on Easter morning. Last year, a service of many years ago was revived, and instead of Holy Saturday Mass in the morning it was transferred to Saturday evening. Father Lindemann announced Sunday that hooks to make the following of this service more easily can be obtained from him after all the Masses. Many of us have our books from last year. Sunday is Palm Sunday on which the Gospel of the Passion is read. Palms will be blessed before the High Mass and distributed. There will be placed in the hall after the Mass r n1 ”« for those who do not attend this Mass. The CYO are asking everyone to pray the Rosary, and they are distributing stickers for your car or home which say just that, Pray the Rosary. These stickers may be obtained from Father after any of the Masses. Remember what our Holy Mother said to the children at Fatima. Let us all pray the rosary for peace in the world. And let us repeat what we have said many times before, you need not be a Catholic to pray and own a rosary. This prayer belongs to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ and His Virgin Mother.

1 Reduced Excise Taxes 1 I Cut Cost of I I Telephone Service! 3
Tax or no fax, your telephone has always been a bargain. It saves you time and money —and a voice-to-voice visit by telephone is the next best thing to a personal visit. Yet today, the telephone takes a smaller share of the average Hoosier family’s budget than it did ten years ago. Mow Congress has voted to reduce the Federal excise taxes on telephone service. This means substantial savings for you and for all other telephone users in Indiana.
Federal excise tax on IONG. DISTANCE REDUCED from 25% to 10%
instead of paying a 25% Federal excise tax on Long Distance calls, you now pay 10%. Chi Local telephone service, your tax is now 10% instead of 15%. You benefit directly in dollars and cents. For your telephone bill is lowered by the entire difference between the old and Vie new tax. Indiana Bell never has kept a penny of any excise tax collected, has passed it on directly to the Federal government, as required fay law. Thus you get the full reduction , and you ran see it on your April telephone bill.
Federal excise tax on LOCAL SERVICE REDUCED from 15*.10%
Thu fax cuts apply on all telephone bflto dated April 1,1954, and thereafter. Ift# now, lower fax rafts make telephone service an even bigger bargain. We will continue to do our part to keep your telephone one of your best buys!

Yield Right-Of-Way at Twentyfirst and Winton, and at Twentysecond and Winton. The Speedway Town Board, at their last meeting, granted ’leave of absence’ from the police force to David Boyer because ot -ill health. He will continue his duties on the force until April 15, and after that, he plans to spend some of his time here in Speedway, »n it several months with his parents ' in Phoenix, Arizona. We certainly wish Dave the best of luck and * speedy recovery; although he will be placed on the inactive police list for several months, it is hoped that he may again become active after regaining his health. Perhaps some of our residents read an article in the inriian»p/Oi« times, Monday, April 5, in our Speedway Police were given credit as the arresting officers in a case now under investigation by the State excise police and Prosecutor Fairchild. 4 According to the Times, “Three teen-aged girls and three boys, all of Indianapolis, were arrested by Speedway Police Wednesday night after Hendricks County authorities reported the group had been drinking and cavorting in an old car on the streets of Plainfield.” The arresting officers were our own ‘Hap’ Bernhardt and Dave Boyer.
The Speedway Fire Department reports that they have answered 21 fire calls since the first of the year. Most of these were grass or car fires. Of the four house fires, only two suffered substantial loss. Now that Spring is here and many of us are housecleaning, the Fire Dept, has suggested that we keep our basements and attics free of papers and rubbish, in order to reduce fire hazard. The bond has been delivered and the money received for the new Sewage Disposal Plant Construction has already started; so it looks as though our disposal plant is finally to become a reality.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? Shall I force my child to ga to Sunday School and church? Yes! And with no further discussion about the matter! Startled? Why? How do you answer Junior when he comes to the breakfast table Monday morning and announces rebelliously, “I not going to school today.’’ You know, Junior does! % How do you answer when Junior comes in very much besmudged, and says “I’m not going to take a bath.” You know, Junior bathes! How do you answer when Junior, threatened with illness, says, “I’m not going to take medicine.” You know he takes it. Why all this timidity, then, in the realm of his spiritual guidance and growth? Going to let him wait and decide what church he’ll go to when he’s old enough? Quit your kidding! You didn’t wait until he was old enough to decide whether or not he wished to go to public school and get an education ... or until he could make up his mind as to whether he wished to be a clean person or not ... or whether or not he wished to take the medicine that would make him well.
Afraid he’ll succumb to the old wives tale “too much religion when he»was young . . . parents made me go” sort of gag, Look about you; the story is demonstrated and obviously false, despite its currency. Do you suppqpe that because you insist over his protest that Junior take his bath tonight, he’ll turn in a “Bathless Groggins” when he’s twenty-one. Do you suppose that because you insist he take his medicine, he’ll take up Christian Science ten years from now? What shall we say when Junior announces he doesn’t like Sunday School or church, That’s an easy one. Just be consistent. “Junior, in our home we all attend Sunday School and church, and that includes you.” Your firmness and example here will furnish a bridge over which youthful rebellion may travel into rich and satisfying experiences in personal religious living. The parents of America can strike a most effective blow against the forces which contribute to juvenile delinquency, It our mothers and father will take their children to Sunday School and church regularly. —J. Edgar Hoojpp ' SAFETY PAYS Many employers have discovered that good accident prevention programs in their plants end offices can bring sizeable financial rewards. In some instances, companies have been able to reduon their insurance rates by as much as 52 per cent simply by reducing the number of “on the job” accidents, Employers Mutuals c* Wausau, reports.
