SPEEDWAY LITTLE LEAGUE FOOTBALL Our thanks go to the. High School officials for permitting us to use the Athletic Field last Friday night and to all the people who turned out to see our teams perform. The boys really got a kick out of playing under the lights and especially enjoyed watching the High School team show them how its done by defeating Plainfield 21 to 18. The results of the Little League games were as follows: The 3rd and 4th grade teams failed to score although Stephen Woods made a fine 30 yard run and very nearly broke away for a T.D. Mardis Coers took the ball over from the two on a quarterback sneak and Denny Hackett added the point after T.D. on an off tackle buck to give the sth and 6th grade Southbound team a 7 to 0 win. Tom Jones threw a T.D. pass to Billy Bennett then added the point after on a fake place kick giving the 7th and Bth grahe southbound team 7 points. Billy Scott broke away on the 25 but was finally brought down on the 50 which ended the threat of the Northbound teams. Final score: Southbound 14, Northbound 0. The 7th and Bth grade team played the Tabernacle varsity Monday night and came out on the short end of a 40 to 7 score. Tom Jones carried the ball over for Speedway’s only T.D. and added the point after. Speedway will get a chance to do better in a return game here Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Again we would like to express our thanks to all the folks who supported the teams so well this season. If you would like to see more of the Little League games scheduled as openers for the High School games next season, drop a card to Roy Coers, 4966 W. 13th St.

Town Board Reports by Tri Kappa Reporter The board was presented with a petition signed by 1,942 citizens for automatic protective signals at Winton Ave. and the P & E Division of New York Central Railroad and also at the N. Lyndhurst crossing and said railroad. This has been turned over to the Town Attorney, Mr. Risch, for necessary legal action. Mr. Couch presented a cost estimate of $164,000 for subdivision improvements in the Speedway Estates addition. The Board informed Mr. Risch to proceed with the necessary agreement form in the amount of 25% of said total estimate for Bonding purposes. Mr. Robbins was instructed to purchase a wagon for transporting sewer cleaning equipfrom job to job. Mr. Crawford Smith, Deputy Marshal, tendered his resignation effective October 19th. This reporter wishes to add a few personal words of praise and gratefulness for accomplishments of the present Board. They have at all times been cooperative in giving all the news we wish to print. There have been no secret meetings or closed unrevealed reports. The public is welcome to attend all or any one meeting. In order for a person to be a success as a Board member he must keep the welfare and advancement of the Town uppermost in his mind. Very often personal feelings and friendships must be set aside in order to best serve the majority. Some citizens do not realize that the threat of annexation to Indianapolis would become a reality had not our present Board constructed our Sewage Plant. This is only one example of their foresight. The position is a thankless one, a job of giving of oneself, in time, in money, in loss of friendships, all in addition to the mental, physical, and emotional strain. Many thanks should go to the present members as well as good wishes to the new members for continued success in their efforts for an even better Speedway. No matter who you vote for, the important thing is to vote. Voting gives you a right to criticize. Your Town Board Reporter, Beth Blind

FIRST SYMPHONY CONCERT OF CURRENT SEASON

VICTOR ALESSANDRO What promises to be the most interesting season in the entire 26-year history of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra gets underway with a pair of concerts this week-end Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 29-30, in the Murat Theatre. A total of 6 guest conductors and 11 world famous artists have been signed for the dozen pairs of concerts in the subscription series. Launching the season as the first guest conductor will be Victor Alessandro, current conductor of the San Antonio (Texas) Symphony Orchestra. Considered one of America’s foremost young conductors, the 39-year-old Alessandro enhanced his reputation earlier this month when he received a “last minute” bid to conduct the “Symphony Of The Air” Orchestra in Carnegie Hall. The concert with pianist Emil Gilels, first Soviet artist to appear in the U.S. since 1921, and Alessandro was selected when Gilels requested “an outstanding young American conductor” to appear in concert with him.

Once again the Orchestra, which has risen to a position among the nation’s top ten, is virtually intact with less than 15% of the Orchestra being new members. Only new first chair man is David Helfrich, French horn player formerly with the Buffalo Symphony.

“Green Valley” “Green Valley,” a comedy-fan-tasy in three acts written by Frank Wattron, is to be presented by the Junior class in the Speedway High School Gymnasium on November 3 and 4 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets will sell at $.60 each. The six major roles will be played by Jim Wood as Eldon, Judy White as Prim, Bill Sanders as Tinker, John Thorne as i Tobias J. Everheel, Ann Brockman at Martha Mears, and Dick Emigholz as Grampaw Berry. Members of the supporting cast are Ann Lynch, Kenny Smith, Ann Beeson, Jerry Shultz, Fred Amich, W. K. Lippard, Judy Jordan, Perry Cantwell, Karen Green, Tom Neat, Linda Toole, Ronnie Akers, Charlotte Stumph, Donna Inman, Jerry Siddall, Patti Sanders, Barbara Schilling, Linda Logston, Diane Gerkin, Bob Decker, and Mike Hardin. Nestled away in the California hills is tiny, picturesque Green Valley. It is the kind of place you come upon unexpectedly one day, later recall, but can never seem to rediscover. For a hundred years, the Berry family has owned it. Grandpaw Berry himself—a straight-thinking, straightshooting pioneer—staked out the original claim back in Gold Rush days. Now, Eldon Berry, last of the line, is about to lose it to suave Tobias J. Everheel, unscrupulous land operator. Right now, such a loss will be doubly painful. Strangely, unaccountably, the Valley has become a little paradise of nature! Everything has started to grow to rampant profusion: strawberries as big as your fist, bright yellow sunflowers higher than a house, beanstalks that shoot up and grow before your very eyes! Most unusual of all is the milk given in abundance by Minnie, Eldon’s plaintive cow milk so rare that those who drink of it hear weird music and see people who officially stopped walking the earth many years before. You don’t believe it? Well— Prim Stokes, the vital native girl in love with Eldon, didn’t believe it . . . until the pale shadow of long-dead Lonesome Berry (Kenny Smith) abruptly materialized from nowhere and planted a kiss on her surprised lips and beckoned with a ghostly forefinger. And neither did greedy Everheel believe . . . until Pru (Judy Jordan), a witch-girl from a yester-year, led him stumbling and gaping to the awe-invoking Garden. Even studious Martha Mears of the Historical Society (and who should have known of these things if anybody did) wasn’t convinced until almost too late!

Yes . . . strange beings are abroad in this land of Eldon’s ancestors. The fighting Berry clan stirred from their eternal rest by the noise of Everheel’s rampaging tractor are “riz” Peppery Grampaw, quip-tongued and trigger-fingered; Mennonite Granny (Ann Beeson), who insists on “hooks and eyes;” gruff Calhoun (Jerry Shultz); Bearded Jeb (Fred Amich); giggle-witted Ransome (W. K. Lippard); sleepy Powerful (only a voice), with a stature like Paul Bunyan and a fondness for dynamite and boundary rocks! The men, the women, the children who peopled Green Valley in its heyday have come back to fight, to love, to laugh . . . until they finally and dramatically fade away on the waters of Everheel’s exploded dam, just as OF Arthur, the elusive “herald of the morn,” brings dawn back to the Valley. Only then does a new and deeper understanding come to a chastened Eldon and a triumphant Prim. The class members cordially invite you to be with us for our visit to “Green Valley” on November 3rd and 4th. TURKEY DINNER Sunday, November 6th St. Christopher Social Room

Speedway Christian Church 14th St and Wtatoß Av*. The Rev. Kenneth E. Thorne, Minister TWO MORNING SERVICES First Worship service—9:oo-9:55 a.m. Children’s Study and Worship—9:oo-10:30 a.m. Youth and Adult Classes—lo:oo-10:30 a.m. Second Worship Service—lo:3s-11:30 a.m. Our regular schedule of two morning services continues next Sunday. As has been previously announced, we will observe “Dean Shelton Day” at both services and will present all of our loose offering for the day, to Dean and Mrs. Shelton as a love gift. Several months ago the Sheltons were involved in a tragic automobile accident which resulted in Mrs. Shelton being in a partial coma and state of paralysis. Recovery has been very slow and the expenses of hospitalization and specialists have been high. Consequently the family insurance and savings are about gone and there are still several dreary weeks ahead. Since Dr. Shelton, as Dean of the Butler School of Religion, his been rather closely associated with our church through the years, our Official Board decided on this means to come to their aid. Let’s make the loose offering express our sympathy. (Continued on Page 8)
