YOUR SURVIVAL PLAN Beginning next week will be a series of articles spotlighting each individual section of the Speedway Civilian Defense organization. Each article will include the main function of each section, a description of their training, equipment now on hand, equipment being procured and their future plans. Each month there is held one general meeting conducted by one of the sections to give all sections some cross training and knowledge about other areas and their equipment. This month’s meeting will be Wednesday, January 11, 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall. All interested persons are cordially invited. Included in each Family Survival Kit was a Speedway Civilian Defense questionnaire to be returned completed when paying your next water bill. Since only half of Speedway is billeed for water each month only half of the residents had an opportunity in December to return their questionnaires. Over 15% of those billed in December returned their questionnaires. Some were all “no’s” but at least they took the time to return them. From the information so far obtained there appears to be enough interest here (Continued on Page 2)

Miss Pendleton was the lucky winner in a drawing held this week, among the hundreds of recent Meadowood visitors who registered for the attendance prize. Cynthia and Barbara Klencke, twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Phillips L. Klencke, 4502 Arcadia Avenue, Meadowood, drew the winning name.

Dohrn, custom homes builder. He lives at 6216 Hickorywood Lane, in Meadowood. The new Meadowood section consists of 100 lots on either side of West 30th Street 50 of which are being made available at this time. Except for a few scattered sites, it represents the last available Meadowood area within the

Town of Speedway. Falender started developing Meadowood in 1955. To date he has designed and built nearly 500 homes there, all of custom construction in brick and aluminum.

Swimming Instruction The Central YMCA Youth Department will begin the second semester of special swimming instruction for boys and girls from 2 to 5 years of age. The new class will be conducted from 10 to 11 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday mornings from January 23 to March 29. All classes will be held at the Central YMCA swimming pool at 310 North Illinois Street. Enrollment is limited to twenty children. Skills such as hreath-holding, floating, gliding, kicking, pulling with arms, breathing and simple diving will be taught. A special feature of the course is that the mothers will participate in the water with their children. The YMCA feels that a young person of this age will learn more rapidly if he is with a person whom he knows and trusts. Dr. George W. Crane, well known psychologist and newspaper columnist, advocates teaching children to become swimmers before they enter the first grade. “This task,” he says, “should be done by a trained specialist, such as the YMCA instructor.” James E. Gray, Central YMCA Youth Director and a qualified swimming instructor will teach the classes. For further information, call the Central YMCA Youth Department at ME. 5-1331.
