PERSONALS A Butler University student from Speedway has been named to Who’s Who Among College Students in American Universities and Colleges. She is Miss Judy Kay Wood, 5032 West 14th Street. Paula Winterfeldt, flute player from 2338 Winton Ave. in Speedway, has received a band assignment for Indiana University’s 1961 concert season that includes a recording session for RCA, a four-day tour of Indiana and Ohio and six television programs. The concert season features performances by the Concert, Symphonic and Varsity Bands, and by a special TV Symphonic Band that is drawn from the three regular concert units. Personnel totals 217, and represents music students as well as students majoring in other disciplines. Miss Winterfeldt is in the symphonic band. GIFT LIFT Operation Gift Lift, the annual project of the Marion County Association for Mental Health to collect, wrap and distribute 10,000 gifts for hospitalized mental patients, went over the top last week as last minute contributions increased the total to 13,469. More than 500 volunteer gift wrappers packaged the presents for distribution at 46 ward parties held Sunday at Central State and General Hospitals. Remaining gifts were distributed on Christmas Day at Laßue Carter Hospital, and to patients at Central State who received no presents from home. For the 56 children under the age of 18 who spent Christmas in mental hospitals, special arrangements were made so that each child received every request on his Christmas list. Federal employees in the Century Building provided gifts for the 26 children at Carter Hospital. Gifts for the 30 children at Central State were donated by members of the Indianapolis Motor Carriers Claim Prevention Club. Children’s gifts included dolls, winter clothing, 1 trains, rocking horses, and space missile kits. Teen-agers requests were filled for transistor radios, winter jackets, complete cosmetic sets, and clothing. Patients as Central State this year were provided the opportunity to give, as well as receive, with the opening of the Chez Marie Christmas Gift Shop. This expansion of Gift Lift enabled patients to select gifts for their children and grandchildren. According to Mrs. Richard Grimes, Gift Lift Chairman, “The quality, quantity, and thoughtful shopping revealed in this year’s gift collection are encouraging evidence that people in the community have a growing interest in the needs of mental patients.”

YOUR SURVIVAL PLAN "Your First Dodsfam in the ’ Now Year" This time of year causes most persons to resolve to gain more physical goods and services during the coming year for themselves and their children. How sad the day will be if toe children don’t have the freedom to enjoy or utilize their possessions or abilities. Without freedom all else becomes worthless. Just because the United States enjoys this priceless possession today means nothing unless it is protected and nourished every day of the New Year not only here but thru out the free world. You ask what all this has to do with Civilian Defense. You must first face the hard but unrelenting fact that freedom here on earth is under attack for its very survival. Right about here half of you will stop reading this article and go back to the TV mumbling “radical, pessimist, war monger, etc.” Most of those same persons will try and tell you what goes on in Berlin, Matsu, or the Congo has nothing to do with Main Street U.SA.. Like it or not Main Street U.SA.. is the destination of world communism which is relentlessly and ruthlessly stamping and grinding out the' outports of freedom. Herein lies the main issue of this article—we have nothing to fear here in America during the next few years even as far as personal danger is involved or even a need of Civilian Defense as long as we go along the same blind path and continue to lose the so called cold war—cold only in its ruthlessness and the bodies of its dead. Yes, not until we start winning the war—not until we turn back the dedicated and committed exterminators of freedom do we need fear retaliation. We then have a choice—we can continue to watch our TV sets and just enjoy life—a great advertising slogan—with not a fear in the world for a while but at the same time committing our children to the bonds of slavery, or we can get out of our easy chairs and fight back with all our resources to protect our most priceless possession. The next year may well spell which path Iwe take. You ask what has this to do with me, I can’t influence anything. This is what some would love to have you think because in you the individual American—rests the hopes and prayers of the free world. By your attention to world events and your actions by even a postal card to your representative, senator, local newspaper, or the President himself expressing your desires you can have a big effect. This is because for every letter or card they receive most persons in elected office feel it represents many more persons whose opinions are the same but are too lazy to express themselves. Getting even to the local government level, when did you last or ever attend a Speedway Town Board meeting. This Town’s government is an example of democracy in action—if and only if—you, local resident, express your opinion. Town Board meetings are held every 2nd and 4th Monday evenings at the Speedway Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. Next Sunday evening at 7 p.m. the Take Cover signal will be sounded on our siren and at 7:10 p.m. the All Clear. Let this 10 minutes be your first chance of the New Year to begin to prepare your family survival insurance and thereby showing that freedom is worth fighting for by helping to build a prepared and dedicated America.
