way officials in regard to their request for a traffic control at Lyndhurst Drive and 136. The state refuses to install a light until the railroad crossing is protected by flashers. The railroad officials did indicate, however, that they would consider putting up flashers under either one of two conditions. First was that Winton Ave. crossing be closed. The board felt this crossing necessary to the town and is not now considering this. Secondly, if Speedway would bear 50% of the cost of the flashers. This would be approximately a $5,500 cost to the city. It would be completed in a year. The board is giving consideration to this proposal, but also feels it may be setting a precedent for future crossing requests. All legal aspects of the proposals will be gone over before any decisions will be made. Also the future proposed widening of 136 will make both signals, highway and railroad, mandatory. However, the beginning date of this construction is very indefinite. It was found that to run the new lights at the park 3 hours each night, the cost will be SSO each month. This appropriation was allowed. Also a formal request was sent to the state traffic control engineer for a traffic light at the intersection of 16th St., Georgetown Road and 136.

POPPY POSTER CONTEST

Sponsored by Speedway's American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 198 Poster board and rules. Have you ordered yours? If not, do so now. A copy of the rules and a poster board on order is all you need to enter the contest. Sbe Miss Murphy or Miss Robertson of Speedway Public Schools, or Sister Margaret Clare of St. Christopher’s Parochial School, for both your poster board and rules. Remember, only students of Speedway schools are eligible to win the cash prizes offered by -Speedway’s American Legion Auxiliary. The contest does not close until May 1, 1955. Even so, the poster boards should be ordered at once so they may be cut and delivered to you in plenty of time. About the poppy now. Where did it come from and why? The idea of the popy as a memorial flower for the war dead sprang up as naturally as the little wild flower itself grows in the fields of France and Flanders. The flower was the one touch of beauty which survived amid the hideous destruction of war. Along the edge of the trenches geneath the tangled barbed wire, about the ragged shell holes and over the fresh graves it raised its brave red blossom. Colonel John McCrae was the first person to give expression to the idea. A quick study of his poem (presented below) reveals the clearness of his thoughts. Even before the men had returned from war, this poem winged its way around the world carrying the picture of the poppies. Returning soldiers brought the vision of the poppy fields back with them. It became their flower of remembrance.

IN FLANDERS' FIELD by Colonel John McCrae In Flanders’ fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row and row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly> Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders’ fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we throw The Torch—-be yours to hold it high; If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow * In Flanders’ fields. HELP A VETERAN You can help many crippled and sick veterans by purchasing articles that they make while they are hospitalized. The American Legion Auxiliary has these articles for sale. They include rugs, bird pictures, belts, billfolds and numerous other articles. Anyone interested please contact Mrs. Eberts, BE. 1197.

This will be the only showing in or around Speedway. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.

ATTENTION! BASEBALL FANS!!

Here we are again ready to start a new season. Our first meeting will be tomorrow night, Friday, April Ist at School 2. Ted Sullivan of the Indianapolis Indians will be there and we will have some pictures on Baseball fundamentals. Some of our boys will be knocking at your doors to obtain subscriptions in our big membership drive. This drive is conducted every year by our organization in order to raise funds to buy equipment to outfit these Speedway boys with uniforms, balls, bats and everything it takes to play ball. This year we 'believe there will be eleven teams. So this means there will be a lot of boys looking for your support so that they might be able to play that great game of Baseball. Let’s get behind these boys this year and give them our whole-hearted support. Maybe it has slipped your minds that two of our boys have received two of the great awards given at the end of the baseball season. Tom Jones just this year received the “J. K. Lilly” award and in 1952 Chuck Stout received the “Lew Hill Memorial” award at Victory Field. None of these things are possible, however, without your support. So, please, let’s look forward to a bigger and better organization this year than ever before. Give your support to these boys. Tom Strouse, Pres. Martha Frank, Pub.

Girl Seoat Troop IM On Wonderful Trip

This is a week full of anticipation and activity for the members of Girl Scout Troop 166. On Sunday, April 3 at 2:00 pm. we will be on our way to Washington, D. C., the climax to a year of practical dreaming. Our members have worked hard on Troop and individual projects to earn our money. We have sold donuts, potato chips, doll beds, and used clothing as a Troop. Individually, we have cleaned basements, been baby sitters, wished cars and worked at many other jobs to build up our bank accounts. Although we plan to travel by train, we have also worked out the trip traveling by bus, automobile, and plane. We have studied travel etiquette and learned many travel tips while earning our Traveler Badge. Incidentally, we will have completed this badge by the time we return to Indianapolis. Our Troop has earned the My Government badge because we thought we should learn about our government before visiting our nation’s capital. We have written to our Senators and secured passes to visit the United States Senate. A complete sightseeing schedule has been arranged for us by the Gausepohl Travel Agency under the supervision of Mrs. Dorene Baier. We will return to Indianapolis on April 8. Members of the Troop planning to travel to Washington include: Jinny beth Atkinson, Rowena Degan, Nita Kay Degener, Charlene Eversole, Jand Hardin, Sally Kern, Melinda McArthur, Bonnie North, Sandra Scyphers, Dee Swords, Carole Wright, and Judy Zimmerman. Mrs. Fred D. Scyphers, leader, Mrs. Theodore Zimmerman, co-leader, Mrs. Ross Swords, Mrs. Bruce Atkinson, Mrs. Wendall Kern, Mrs. Malcom McArthur, Pat Scyphers and Beth Zimmerman will accompany the Troop. We’d like to thank our parents and all the people who have helped make this trip possible. Without your support, we could not have reached .our goal.

GIRL SCOUT NEWS

Brownie Troop No. 471 enjoyed a hike in the snow Friday afternoon at Dellwood. The girls had planned the hike complete with nose bag lunches and their new gayly colored sit-upons and then Mother Nature played a trick on them by covering everything with a beautiful blanket of snow. It was like walking in a fairyland with the trees, bushes and ground covered in winter white. The little brook winding around from one camp site to another seemed to give the girls a hearty welcome on their first visit to Dellwood. It was an adventure the girls will long remember.

It . scores and hundreds of church members cannot see gains in a church by winning people to Christ, then we are in a pitiable plight. The numbers right at our doors without any concern over their lost condition call for a new passion in the hearts of our people. We must experience a recovery of concern over the lost. We are going to have to get to the place where Paul was when he said, “I could wish that myself were accursed for Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh," before anything out of the ordinary takes place. Pray for a recovery of concern over the lost in our home, in our church and community. Rev. Forest E.

TEENETTES

Hi, gang! Boy am I full of news this week? On March 25 we had a real hepped-up party at Mary Alice Stierwalt’s house. We got there about 6:00 and had a pitchin. We’re sorry Sandra Finnerty had to leave early. She sure missed a lot of fun. After ww got through eating we had an initiation ceremony for Karen Richardson. Boy those were some stunts. Karen was kind enough to bring the members and sponsors favors. The members got small photograph holders and our sponsor received a real cute ash tray. Mrs. Stierwalt passed out some candy and on behalf of the club and Mrs. Stierwalt, Karen received a gold sparkplug on a chain. After initiation we had our business meeting. Among other things, we got back on the subject of going to the lakes this summer. After our business meeting we danced to some real smooth music. The club wants to thank Judy and Mary Alice for the swell records. Later on we had some refreshments and talked. We broke up about 12:30 when some of the girls went home. We sure want to thank Mrs. Stierwalt for the swell time. It was superduper. That’s all for now. See you next week. Bye! Judy Burgin, Pres. Jenny Simison, Pub.
