Eagle Creek Reservoir Petition Being Circulated In Speedway

“The Era of Speedway City and large parts of Indianapolis as flood disaster areas is about to come to an end,” Alfred Edelson, Chairman of Mayor John Barton’s Eagle Creek Advisory Committee, said on Monday, .May 17. Speaking before a gathering of interested Speedway citizens a petition ■signing Kickoff in that area for the Eagle Creek Project in the Holiday Inn in Speedway, Edelson said, “Speedway and Western Parts of Indianapolis have been ravaged by floods an average of every 2% years since the mid 30’s. However, the combination of the Eagle Creek Reservoir and other improvements, either completed, underway or contemplated should make Eagle Creek capable of handling any flood which can be reasonably expected.

Edelson reported that Section I near Harding Street on Eagle Creek has been completed and Section 2 North of Washington Street, “is about to get underway. In addition, negotiations are underway by State Agencies to accomplish the rebuilding of certain bridges, so that the balance of the channel improvements can be completed,” Edelson explained. “But the added run-off, stimulated by more paved areas, plus the possibility of record floods make the Reservoir a must if we are to protect lives and property in the Western end of the city and county.”

Petition signatures are being sought to permit issuance of bonds to purchase over 4500 acres of land and construct a dam for a flood and park recreation spot in Northwest Marion County. The Reservoir will begin with a dam on Eagle Creek at 38th Street and extend north to 96th Street under flood stage, with a 2500 acre park on both sides of the Reservoir, beginning at 56th Street and ending near 71st Street.

Allison Contract Allison Division of General Motors has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Army for the manufacturer of a new product that has provided the answer to a problem which for a time challenged the successful development of an important new Army weapons system. The $2,125,645 contract is for initial production of a new elec-trically-operated gun breech mechanism designed and developed by Allison for the Army’s Watervliet Arsenal in New York. The breech mechanism, which opens to permit loading of conventional ammunition or the Shillelagh guided missile and closes to form the aft end of the gun tube, is designed for use in the versatile 152 mm gun-launcher of the XM-551 General Sheridan armored airborne assault reconnaissance vehicle. Harold H. Dise, vice-president of General Motors and Allison general manager, said the breech mechanism represents an impor-

requested assistance from General Motors in solving problems they had encountered in designing the breech unit for the XM-551.” “We took a look at the design they had been working on, then decided to use a totally different approach. We fired the unit for the first time in less than five months after-it took shape on the drawing board. Into the job went a lot of background experience in the design of gearing for aircraft engines and transmission, and a lot of teamwork from the entire

Allison organization. We've fired several hundred rounds on units at Erie Proving Ground, Port Clinton, Ohio, and at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The breech mechanisms are still in fine working order." Several additional breech mechanisms are being put together for testing by General Motors and the U.S. Army. In addition to other tests, the units undergo climatic evaluation in Allison test chambers where temperatures

vary from 65 degrees below zero to as much at 140 degrees above zero. Multiple Sclerosis Drive Dr. Albert P. Stewart, director of musical organizations at Purdue University, and Chairman of

its treatment at the Indiana University Medical Center where MS patients in the state may come lor treatment and evaluation. Dr. Mark L. Dyken is dirtctor of the Clinic. Funds raised in the drive will also.be used for the purchase of patient aids such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, walkers, etc. This equipment is loaned to MS patients in the state. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, progressive, disabling disease of central nervous system, the brain and spinal cord. It is marked by the disappearance of patches of the myelin sheath which are replaced by plaques of hard scar tissue. Nerve message impulses controlling hearing, vision, speech, movement and balance may be affected, sometimes totally blocked. MS strikes mainly at young people in the vital, productive family years between 20 and 40. It is estimated that 500,000 Americans suffer from MS and its related neurological diseases. Dr. Stewart is optimistic that the goal of the Indiana Chapter of the National Society will reach its goal of $105,000 for the state. Mr. V. L. Tatlock of Terre Haute is Chairman of the Indiana Chapter and Mrs. Robert J. Shultz, Indianapolis, is Executive Director. Headquarters of the Socity are at 615 North Alabama Street, Indianapolis.
