Ketron Makes Plea For Large Vote BIS B PppP^l Freeman D. Ketron Four years ago I stated that the problems of Speedway were centered in the remaining services under local control and maintaining the identity of the town. I don’t think that was any tremendously astute statement to make, but it was alarmingly true. As I represented the town in State Legislative sessions that could have destroyed the identity of the town, I was more than grateful for the display of unity here. The meeting the Citizens Committee held under the chairmanship of Floyd Workman was responsible for saving our streets from being brought under a Metropolitan board. We know what would have happened to our kell-kept and clean streets if this had happened. I know, because I was there, that the large turnout there and the vote cast in the election for favorable legislators proved the power of unity. It held politicians in line. We have (1) streets, (2) sanitation, (3) schools, (4) police protection, and (5) fire protection under local control —we want to keep it that way. Although I would appreciate your vote and confidence on November 7th I believe, most sincerely, that it is more important that Speedway vote in large numbers than to re-elect Ketron. If we lose local control, the town boundaries become meaningless. Our identity is gone. There are problems this board has not solved, but with your help they can be solved. It is gratifying to get your calls of encouragement. Vote for me if you believe I have served you well but vote by all means. All I can offer you is a record of four years. You are to be the judge. This office should seek the man and not the man the office. JOLLY HOMEMAKERS The Jolly Homemakers will meet Nov. Bth at the home of Evelyn Rosebrock?* 6034 Maren Drive, with Ruth Parke as cohostess. Plan to finish the Christmas Project afterward at Kay Wegeners.

KENNETH H. SMITH 2ND WARD ■ ~- " J* ■ -'5 Kenneth Smith I am a member of Speedway Christian Church, Masonic Lodge, York Rite, Past president of the Personnel Association, American Society of Quality Control and American Society of Metals. I attended Indiana University and Purdue University Extension. I believe you should vote for me because of my experience and qualifications. I am 59 years old and recently retired from the Linde Company after 33 years of service. As an executive of tips company, I served as Chief Inspector and their Head of Personnel and Industrial Relations. I was also elected and served a four-year term as a Town Trustee of Speedway during which time I worked diligently for the best interests of our town and it’s citizens. I made speeches before both houses of our Indiana Legislature for the enactment of an amendment to the existing annexation law. This was passed thereby enabling our town to survive and to progress. I have also made numerous talks before church, civic social and school groups explaining the advantages of our type of town government. It actually enables us to have much lower taxes and yet have better schools, streets, police and fire protection. However, Metropolitan government is trying constantly to engulf us. I believe in Speedway and will work to the best of my ability to keep it as a Town. This is the town we chose to live in—This is the government we chose to live by—This is the Town I will strive to keep.

Conover Seeks Election To Town Board jB p Eris L. Conover

Four years from now Speedway will be different Four years from now you and I will be different. Your decisions from day to day will shape .what you are at the end of the next four years. The decisions of five people, whom you are going to select Nov. 7, will shape the future of Speedway. A short time ago I was asked by a few interested citizens to become a candidate for one of those five representatives on the town board. Having no political ambitions and no desire to be in the public eye my first reaction was to decline. It became obvous, however, that almost no one was really anxious to make the necessary sacrifices to thoroughly fulfill that responsibility. I rationalized: It is enough to be a law abiding citizen—Support my family such that we are not a burden to society—Educate and instill principles within our children to insure they too will be contributors rather than a burden —Give a helping hand to those who are caught in unfavorable circumstances—and, as it became necessary, take time out to fight for preservation of freedom and liberty in order to pursue these objectives. The reply to this rationalization? It is not enough! Town government responsibilities must be accepted by someone. I became a candidate—not wanting in the race for the job, but convinced the job must be done by someone who has an honest concern for the future atmosphere, health and vigor of our town. Collective judgement of all Speedway voters will decide who does the job. Vote your best judgment Nov. 7. Eris L. Conover HOBBY HUNTERS The Hobby Hunters Chib will meet November 2, 7:30 P.M., at the home of Mrs. Shatter Deaton. Mrs. Charles Johnston will be Co-hostess. Lesson will be Christmas Goblet. Card Of Thanks I wish to sincerely thank my friends and neighbors for their gifts, cards, flowers and many phone calls I received during my stay in Evanston Hospital, Evanston, Illinois. Words cannot express my appreciation for your thoughtfulness. Lois Oliver
