■f Geran ing sure that the very newest fashions are in our store at money-saving prices.” They are particularly proud, too, he adds, of their record department, sporting goods, small appliances, and housewares.

This 'll That Charlene Lugar Defends Uni-Gov

By Kay Evritt Who uttered the mystic incantation which transformed the Kresge’s store window into a Halloween horrorland? The Art Club! KATHY HARRIS, JANET CRIDER, KAREN RICE, MICKEY CLICK, BILL MARSH, SANDY BADGER. KAREN WHITE, and ELAINE SMITH freed the creatures from their construction paper prison only to trap them on the window! No need for a Miss Super Long Finger nail contest! KATHY TOMLINSON would win hands down! Or she would have if she hadn’t taken typing this year. To aid her typing, she forced herself to trim her nails. But, she couldn’t bear to guillotine her favorite one incher! KAREN FERGUSON almost fed the famished washing machine in home economics when she left a cookie in her soiled apron pocket. The rest of the girls wouldn’t let the machine break its fast; they removed it for her. Blast off! With a whoosh the foaming coke shot 28’ down CINDY LONG’S driveway. JANICE WILCOX, MARY BETH GUTHRIDGE, and NANCY NEWTON escaped the coke deluge. Haunt the cafeteria after tomorrow’s game at the Booster Club’s dance! Groceries with a smile is SHERRY BODIMER AND MIKE HERON’S motto while they work at Bodimer’s Groceries downtown. End the blank wall syndrome! MIKE LOWER recently started decoupaging to cure it. Now, he has finished pictures of a boat, plane, and truck. Pop goes the concert! Up went the audience to give the choral groups a standing ovation after the pop concert October 20. Goodby, Indiana!

Charlene Lugar, wife of Republican Mayor Richard G. Lugar, said recently that the extension of the right to vote for City-Council and Mayor to Speedway residents upholds the American tradition of providing representation to all persons who are subject to fryatinn, Mrs. LllgU*S Mmarks wore made at a coflee at the home of Mrs. Jeffery Lazo, 7528 Lindsay Drive, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 27. Mrs. Lugar pointed out that before Unigov was enacted. Speedway residents were taxed for such things as flood control, parks, Weir Cook Airport, and others, without any voice in selecting the officials who spend their tax money. Unified Government gives Speedway citizens that vote with respect to courty wide taxing units, while still protecting the independence of Speedway aaan independent Town.
