THE CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW—II By FRANK FROSCH Although there are many entanglements concerning world situations today, all, or nearly all, can be traced to the struggle between Communism and Christianity in their battle for world control. Since we, as Americans, are fairly well acquainted with our own system and its goals, it would be rewarding to discuss the gathering storm of Communism and its threats to our future. Communism, as thought of by Karl Marx, was that sense of perfection in man where equality would be the generality, not the exception. Furthermore, Marx taught that after the establishment of Communism in a country, the usefulness of the state would be terminated, therefore allowing for its slow disintegration. On these two basic principles has contemporary Communism differed from the idealistic foundations of its originators, replacing their ideals with force designated for world control. Although the Communists have deserted their basic theologians, they still use these men’s teachings for alibis to conceal their traitorous deeds. For example, where Marx says the state dissolves, contemporary Communists quote him as saying a governing state must be necessary for the people’s adoption of Communism. In other words, they follow only the teachings condoning their actions. Although they call themselves Communists, they have deserted their basic dogmas and have replaced them with the lust and greed of a dictatorship eyening totalitarian control of the world.

The people of the United States are faced today against the greatest foe ever assembled on earth in the form of the psychological strength of the Communists being used to disillusion and discourage the peoples of the free societies. We must defeat the Communists on past records, FOR WE CAN CERTAINLY NOT OUTPROMISE THEM. We must show the world that the peoples of Communism are not the members of a free, classless society; they are not the owners of business and do not share in its benefits; and finally, that the proletariat has certainly not been the victor of the revolutions. Communism is at a stalemate. A revolution could mean a world war, a status quo situation could mean a slow disintegration and decay of their empire. We must reaffirm our promises to stand fast against Communism while ignoring the pleas of our would-be appeasers. That is our challenge in regard to international affairs; Next week we will discuss how location has helped shape the lives of our new members of the society of the world.

SCHOOL NEWS Assignment of Pupils io Elementary Schools for the 1960-61 School Year Each year several problems are encountered by school officials in trying to determine a fair assignment of elementary pupils to the elementary schools. It is important that classes be no larger than necessary for the best results. Therefore, each year boundaries must be set to equalize as nearly as possible the enrollment in the five seven sections of each grade. An attempt is made to permit pupils to continue at the elementary school which they attended in the first grade, but occasionally it is necessary, because of changes in school population or unusual growth of some part of the town, to assign pupils to a different school. All pupils in grades kindergarten through six north of Crawfordsville Road will be assigned to the Frank H. Wheeler School on Meadowood Drive or the James A. Allison School on West 22nd Street. All elementary pupils south of Crawfordsville Road will attend the Carl G. Fisher School at 14th Street and Winton Avenue or the Arthur C. Newby School on Whitcomb Street. This year, the (Continued on Page 6) Card of Thanks I wish to thank everyone who sent cards and flowers to me during my extended stay in the hospital. Appreciated Rev.

was won by the contestant from Mississippi. All the scholarship winners were 17 years old. James Harris* whirlwind achievements in the Jaycee driving Road-E-O started back on Mpy 21st, when he was approached by his buddy Dick Burdge to try his skill in the local Jaycee cotatest. They both took the required tests and to Jim’s surprise, was declared the winner. With the local Jaycee’s, he studied and practiced driving and went to Beech Grove on June 11 to compete with 100 other drivers from other local Jaycees clubs in the State Contest. After the rugged tests were over, the final results showed a 3-way tie for first place. This necessitated a run-off on the following Saturday. Again Jim studied and practiced. On the eveWng of June 18, James Harris from Speedway was declared the Winner and eligible to represent tfte'lndiana Jaycees in the National Contest at Washington, D. C. He also won a SSOO scholarship, td which he applied to further his education at General Motors In(Continued on Page 4)

Meteors Baseball News On August 9 the boys won their first playoff game, defeating the Stevens Mortuary team from the Holy Trinity League by a score of 16-4. Kenny Craig and Scotty Nfeat each pitched 3 innings; Dfnny Glidewell was the catcher Sqotty Neat’s 3 hits out of 4 times at-bat included 2 home runs and a double. Other extra base hits: Denny Glidewell, home run; Kenny Craig and Larry Shaub, one double each. Meteors: 15 runs, 16 hits, no errors. Stevens Morthits, 4 runs, 5 errors. In the second playoffcgame theteam defeated the Riverside Comets, 5-0, Kenny Craig pitching the whole game, allowing only 3 hits. Jim Perin was the catcher. Extra base hits: Kenny Craig and Gregg Thomas, one double each. Craig hit 2 for 2; Perin, 2 for 3 and Neat 2 for 4. Meteors: 5 runs, 11 hits, 1 error. Comets: no runs, 3 hits, 2 errors.

They say “You can’t win ’em all” we didn’t. In the semi-final game, the Meteors were defeated by a good hitting St. Andrew team 5-2. Four of their 6 hits were for extra bases—2 home runs, 1 triple, and 1 double. Their pitcher, Jenson was a good one. He was credited with 11 strike-outs, and charged with only 1 walk. Except for one batter, Kenny Craig pitched the whole game with Jim Perin behind the plate. Our 5 hits were obtained by Short, Neat, Perin and Thomas. Scotty Neat hit 2 for 2, both doubles. Jim Perm’s one hit was a double, scoring Scotty after 2 were out. St. Andrew: 5 runs, 6 hits, no errors. Meteors: 2 runs, 5 hits, no errors. Although we didn’t go “all the way” as we had hoped, we still had a successful season as evidenced by the over-all record of 13-2.

I say, in all sincerity, that one could travel the nation and find no group of boys that could surpass the Meteors in baseball ability or sportsmanship (with the emphasis on sportsmanship). I wish to express my appreciation to Messrs. Craig, Emerson, Knight and Skelton for their help; and Mr. Lyle Neat who was our “official” sconekeeper—a thankless, but important job. Special gratitude goes to the other parents who so faithfully supported the team as evidenced by both their attendance and their boys. We had a roster of 18 boys. There was never less than 15 present for a game. Bob Perin, Manager
