'Ten Little Indians 9 To Open

At 7;30 p.m. on July 7, the curtain will rise on the first Speedway Summer Theatre production of the 1972 season. The play will be the ever-popular mystery “Ten Little Indians” by Agatha Christie. “Ten Little Indians” is just one of the many excellent mystery stories written by Agatha Christie. Other spell-binding suspense thrillers have been “Cards on the Table” and “Witness for the Prosecution.” The book “And then There Were None” was a favorite in Europe before becoming a highly praised novel in the United States. Later when the book was re-written for stage and named “Ten Little Indians” it met instant critical acclaim and wonderful acceptance from audiences around the world. In the play ten persons are invited to spend a part of their vacations at a home runbyU.N. Owen. Each character, for rea-

sons of his own, decides to accept the invitation. None of the guests have ever met; and the casual observer would say that they have nothing at all in common. Yet events prove that they all have one very important common interest-staying alive. Soon after arriving they find that they are stranded. The guest house is on an island. Then one character after another dies. But who is the killer? There are dozens of clues; the mysterious murderer even goes to the trouble of warning his victims in a strange and bizarre manner of the deaths they will m eet. Many clues seem to lead nowhere yet, unmistakably there is a maniac loose. Any person who enjoys the task of solving mysteries will love this play. It is suspense, thrills, and even humor at its best. The cast is made up of west

Sneak Previews Stimulate Sales

“Although we have thus far only been Sneak Previewing and are not yet ready for Grand Opening, many single-family homes, townhouses and apartments have already been sold,” stated Richard Hill, Sales Manager for the new Park Lafayette community at 2300 North Tibbs. “We’re pleased to find that the community has quickly become popular with all age groups. Among those reserving residences are large and small families, retirees and singles,” Hill continued. “No doubt the facts that we’re just 5 minutes from Lafayette Square and that so many extras are included in one low affordable price are largely responsible for the Community’s ‘catching on’ so quickly,” Hill concluded. Included in the purchase price of each park Lafayette home, townhouse or apartment are

42 Year-Old Speedway Landmark Is Dismantled

Some may shed a tear, some a sigh of relief but, whatever, the old Speedway water tower is in her dying days. Constructed in 1930, the 42 year-old tower has just been passed up by the modem world of greater population and newer models. In her day, the 175,000 gallons of water that she held was an adequate supply for the town of Speedway. Now, however, demand for water has increased to 3,500 gallons per minute - and on hot, summer days - 4,700 gallons per min ute! Mr. Max Williams, Water Works Superintendent, stated, “The reason for the tower’s dismantling is not only because of size and height elevation, but also the fact of being more economical. Maintenance for the the old structure, including government safety regulations, would cost far more than the S4BOO spent on its removal.” The first elevated storage tower in Speedway, the 1930 structure has been followed by three others. A half million gallon elevated tank was built in 1960 in Meadowood, a million gallon ground storage tank on the 10th St. waterplantproperty in 1964 and an elevated tank holding a million gallons on the east endofthesooShoppingCenter in 1969. Dismantling is being done by B & M Steel Company from Lebanon, Indiana. The removal project started July 2, and should be finished by July 5. Mr. Williams quipped, “The kids are going to have to find another place where they can paint, although the old landmark was a challenge for highschoolers. . .and dangerous.” Travelers will now have to find "Speedway” at a closer distance.
