INDIANAPOLIS. June GA s204,-
900 debt. and no money in sight. con-
fronted Rev. Ambrose J. Sullivan, IS,
an Irishman. when he came to Holy
Rosary Church. an Italian parish, two
years ago.
Last year spaghetti suppers and
bingo parties netted s35.000. But
Father Sullivan. a scrappy 6-footeI
affectionately known to his parishion-
ers as Father Sullivano," was impa.
tient for more money to pay of the
debt Then he had an idea.
That idea has just eliminated in
the dedication Of parish controlled
filling station on the corner next TO
the church.
L believe We can net 5000 or
more each year from the station"
Father Sullivan estimated today.
He cited as reasons for his Opt.
mism: 125 Italian families in the par.
iSh, each with vegetable. produce or
fruit business. and owning about 100
trucks and almost as many automo-
biles.
Our own folks have promised to
use approximately $4,000 gallons OF
gasoline and dozens of quarts Of oil
each month" he said And what's
more, every one in the parish has
taken it upon himself to become
salesman for the station. They all
tell their friends-and the friends
tell their friends-to patronizs the
Community Service Station. Inc
Most of them are doing it, too."
