hunter from the stable of Mrs.
j. North Fletcher of Warrenton

2 Race DriversH Hurt
In Serious Crashes
Al Motor Speedway
By the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, May 10.-The
first two serious crashes of the
season sent two race car drivers
to the hospital today and dam
aged their cars so badly that they
have slight chance of running in
the 500-mile race at the Indian
apolis Speedway May 80.
Bayliss Levrett, 38, of Glendale,
Calf, was burned seriously in the
fiery crash of his Brown Motor
Special. Less than two hours later
Bobby Ball, 26, of Phoenix, Ariz.,
cracked up on the same turn and
went to Methodist Hospital with a
simple conclusion.
Both were fighting a stiff wind
in practice runs as their cars
went out of control on the north
west turn of the 212-mile track.
Levrett was reported in fair
condition in Methodist Hospital.
He suffered burns on his arms and
left leg before he could tear off his
burning shirt and trousers.
Skids for 1,10O Feet.
Levrett brought the car out of
the northwest turn of the track
fast and hit the outside retain
ing wall four times. Then it
skidded sideways down the front
straightaway 1,100 feet, catching
fire.
Levrett crawled out, tearing off
his flaming clothes. Race observ-
ers saw the accident and promptly
flashed the red light for three
others cars out on practice runs.
1t was Levrett's first practice
run this season in the Brown
Motor Special, a car which has
started three 500-mile races but
has never finished one. The car
was so badly burned that it won't
be in the 1852 race. Brown Motor
Co.. the owner, has a companion
car entered with Gene Force as
the driver.
Levrett drove the car in the
1949 race, when it went out after
So laps. Duke Dinsmore laster only
10 laps in it in the 1850 race.
Force ranked 18th in it last year,
though it went out after 142 laps.
Ball also was making his first
run of the season in the Blankely
! Oil Special, car he drove to fifth
place in his first 500-mile race
last year.
AS he came out of the northwest
turn he overcorrected and shot
of the track into the infield,
spun across the track, hit the wall
headon, spun again with the tail
hitting the wall and then ran off
into the lnfield again. The smash
up tore off the front end of the
car. making it a highly unlikely
race prospect.

the Saviour's birth, which, incident
ally, some religious scholars con-
tend was in July, not December.
Carol singing, the lighting Of cam
dies and other customs vary
throughout the world but all are
symbolic of the same spirit-"Peace
on earth to men Of good will" A
well-meaning monk once copied this
phrase incorrectly from the original
Greek and the whole world has
since adopted, "Peace on earth,
goodwill to men,"
Religious leader Martin Luther
introduced the first Christmas tree
in the 18th Century, decorating it
with candles to represent the starry
sky over Bethlehem where Christ
was born. Around 200-years ago
(1747) the Moravians put up the
first Christmas tree in America
appropriately enough, in Bethle-
hem, Pa.
The Scotch thought of the idea of
making a "palmist" out of your
Christmas portion of plum pudding.
If you get a thimble in your por-
ton, you remain a spinster. A but

wrapping and. cookie-making, we
forget that many years ago on
December 25, Christ was born. We
forget that we will soon be cele-
brating Christ's birth and should
be preparing sacrifices for Him.
Instead we prepare worldly gifts
for our own pleasure. For too
many years Christmas has been
commercialized by too many
people.
So few of us seem to realize
what Christmas actually means.
The true meaning of the original
Christmas Day has been forgotten
by many of US. This Christmas we
should make it point to celebrate
the birth of Christ by going to
church. Go to any church, but
please go! Give up little of your
time so that you can go to church
and encourage others to go with
you.
You will enjoy your Christmas
presents more, knowing that you
have done your part in bringing
back the spiritual meaning of the
season. When you go home from
church, take with you all that you
have observed so that you can
teach others to put Christ back in
to Christmas.
