with the Work and Needs of Overseas Missions and the forecasts for the World Church. The Rev. Eugene Stockwell is the assistant general secretary for program administration in the World Division of the United Methodist Board of Missions.

He was assiged to start a Methodist congregation in the city of Salto in 1952. During his 10 year pastorate, the congregation grew in numerical and financial strength.

Local Referendum on Office of Town Marshal

Residents of Speedway will vote in a local referendum on whether to establish a board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners and abolish the office of Town Marshal. The word metropolitan means a growing or expanding town. Metropolitan does not mean the combining of police forces or imply any involvement with any other governmental unit or subdivision, such as, Indianapolis or Marion County. The police department would remain under the control of Speedway appointed officials. Our neighboring town of Plainfield has operated under the metropolitan police commissioner system very sucessfully for the past several years. The main advantages to you as a. taxpayer would be: 1. The police commissioners would be responsive to the citizens, since they will be appointed by the Town Board from citizens from within the town. 2. The police board would be concerned with the detail of administrating the police department. This would mean that the police board would be responsible for the selection of department personnel, budgets, equipment and operating policies. This should result in more value to you as a taxpayer for your tax dollar. 3. The police board would act as a hearing board in the case of grievances or disciplinary action

police department. 4. The police board would appoint and set salaries for the police chief and all policemen. 5. The police board would relieve the Town Board of the direct responsibility and control of the police department. This would allow the Town Board more time to handle the many other responsibilities that must be handled in our growing town. 6. The Metropolitan Police Board type organization would allow our police department to operate and organize as a true police department under the statutes of the state. A yes vote on this important referendum vote will indicate that you favor the Town of Speedway contolling its police department in the framework of a true police department. On September the 11th the members of the Speedway Lions Club voted at their regular meeting to work for the passage of the referendum and to abolish the office of Town Marshal. You as a citizen of Speedway have a choice in determining whether this resolution is adopted. The referendum will appear in the upper right hand corner of the Voting Machine on November the sth. You as a voter must vote this question in to your voting by pulling either the yes or no lever down before you pull the big lever to record your vote. REMEMBER TO VOTE.
