KIWANIS NOTES
The meeting of the Kiwanis club this week was a business meeting. Quite an interesting session was held, as a number of item of business were discussed. (So, tell us more.)
After due deliberation the local club decided to cooperate with Harrison in this event. Incidental to this celebration we had brought to our attention a criticism by the public of the Kiwanis club that "they talk about doing but never do much."
If there is any organization locally that put forth more energetic endeavors to get this road paved, we do not know what it is.
Auto Races at Rushville
Sunday, June 29, a series of auto races will be run at the Rushville Motor Speedway, featuring such known drivers as Howdy Wilcox, Dutch Bouman, Louis Schneider, Wilbur Shaw and others. These famous pilots will battle for track records on the fastest oiled dirt track in Indiana. Two large grandstands provide ample seating capacity and there is plenty of free parking space.
Airplane Wrecked
An airplane, enroute from Cincinnati to Chicago, was badly wrecked Sunday when the pilot was forced to make a landing on the farm of Ollie Miles, near Whitcomb. The plane had developed motor trouble and in landing, a gust of wind swerved the machine into a fence, demolishing one wing and badly damaging the landing gear.
The pilot was uninjured and a wrecking crew came from Cincinnati Monday and removed the wrecked plane.
"Ben Hur" and "The Little Clodhopper"
On Tuesday night, Jan. 1 (1929) the motion picture, "Ben Hur," will be shown at the Whitewater school auditorium and on the following Friday night, Jan. 4, "A (The) Little Clodhopper," which was postponed on account of the flu epidemic, will be presented. Everyone invited. (That was a stage play.)
