Mr. E. B. Newill will be the guest speaker. After serving seventeen years as general manager of the Allison Division of General Motors, Mr. Newill retired in March 1960. Soon after retiring Mr. and Mrs. Newill left for a tour around the world. Many interesting countries were visited but the one that they enjoyed especially was New Zealand. Mr. Newill feels the best pictures of the tour were obtained in New Zealand. This country is one that seems to be by-passed by the majority of the tourists. According to Mr. Newill it is a most unusual country.

J.C. JAKE

It’s a sad commentary on the American scene that most of us wake up to school needs only when there’s a disastrous school fire, when there’s an accident involving a school bus, or when the wall of a century old school building collapses and bricks rumble into a classroom. Schools are only as good as you and the other citizens of your community want them to be. Good schools develop where public interest is high. The quality of schools is a good index of the quality of the community in which they exist. Bq any yardstick, the schools of Speedway and the future plans for our schools are of the higest caliber, bringing the conclusion that public interest has been high and that we are- living in truly a quality community. This is certainly something to be proud of and we can say that the first paragraph does not apply in Speedway. At least not as far as schools are concerned. But can the same thought be applied to other facits of our local, state and national community? And are we equally cognizant of them? Were we better informed on political, economic, labor and social problems or controversies, could we handle them, or at least influence them in the proper direction as we have the school problem? If we agree the answer is yes, and really want to do something, every citizen can. Young men 21 to 35 years old have an opportunity to explore, analyze, and act through the local Junior Chamber of Commerce. If you would like to help us, our country, and yourself, contact Ed. Buckley, president, at AX. 3-1178 or WA. 5-4231.
