THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1977 -THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR PAGE 33 CLARK'S SPIRIT HONORED Award Has Proud Roster Stale Spanish War Veterans And Auxiliar ies To Com one The Department of Indiana United Spanish-American War veteran's and auxiliaries will have their 65th convention June 11-12 in the Indy Inn. Past department president Mrs. George Shannessy, national patriotic instructor, is convention chairman, planning the Saturday night banquet, memorial services and installation of officers Sunday afternoon. Milana says she's a "full-service" caterer. She even seeks out antiques for a couple customers who haven't sufficient time to browse in the Indianapolis area.

TRACKS I his in ess (7 rows The newest customer gets the boss' attention, says experienced restaurateur Milana Staletovich. The Pleasant Peasants Inn proprietress worked as hostess during the first weekend of qualifications in the STP hospitality room beneath the Tower. Says Milana, "We got this account on the personal recommendation of George Bignotti. We want to do a good job." Apparently she does that. The first year the VIP suites were open she catered Vel Miletich and Parnelli Jones' two suites.

As Roger Penske and others dropped by and liked what they ate she picked up other accounts. THIS YEAR Milana's crew is responsible for feeding and "detail arrangements flowers or whatever" in six VIP suites and the STP one inside the track; the sit-down dinner after the race for Mel and Brenda Simon's 200 guests, and another private post-race party. In addition, she already has orders for 3.500 box lunches and conceivably the figure might double by race day. Many of the orders will be consumed by race crews in their garages and other racing families stationed in mobile homes parked behind the garages. By DONNA SNODGRASS In 1968 racing lost what many consider to be its finest practitioner ever Jim Clark of Scotland, who won the 1965 500-Mile Race.

He was as fine a man, those who knew him say, as he was a race driver. Among his mourners were those who wanted to perpetuate his memory and, at the same time, encourage his gentlemanly and courageous spirit among others of the racing fraternity. In 1969 the Britannia Club here set up the Jim Clark Award "to honor the person in racing who by his conduct both on and off the track best exemplifies the spirit of the late Jim Clark." The selection committee, which first was composed of representatives of the press and now consists of past winners, has chosen carefully each year and can boast a roster including "the best in racing." FIRST RECIPIENT was Johnny Rutherford, who went on to win the 74 and 76 500-Mile Races, among others. Then came Mario Andretti (the '69 "500" winner); Dan Gurney, former driver both in the United States and abroad and now a reknowned car builder; the late Peter Revson. who also raced in Europe in Formula Bobby Allison, successful stock car driver who excelled at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a rookie; Peter DePaolo, winner of the 1925 Wally Dallenbach, the Ontario "500" winner in 73, and Tom Sneva.

past rookie of the year and current pole-sitter. The original committee recognized that Jim Clark's "spirit" was essential to the sport of racing among those who were not driving, as well, thus the wording of the award. When the Britannia Club disbanded the award was continued by a standing committee sponsored by the Kroger Company. THIS YEAR'S selection will be announced next Thursday at a dinner in the Indianapolis Athletic Club. The social hour will begin at 6:30 p.m., dinner at 7:30 and the program at 8:30.

A few reservations are available to the public, 'though attendance is limited. Cost is $10.50 per person. Committee members planning the dinner are David Ward, Bob Collins, Donna Snodgrass and Harry McDaniel, who represents the Kroger Company. Host will be Ted Engel, Kroger vice-president.

Women MORE VALUABLE 77 BOARD Women Symphony's Best Asset "If I had my choice of a board of directors of a symphony orchestra or its women volunteers. I'd take the women." says Ralph Black, executive director of the American Symphony Orchestra League. "our much maligned friend the tellie" for promoting music "Young people are going to performances more than before.

The arts are exploding as far as participation is concerned. You don't need to dress in black tie and there are even rug concerts where there aren't any seats and the audience lies on the floor to listen. But we don't get young volunteers yet. I don't know why The kids today have radios in their ears." "The wealth of a symphony orchestra is not in its budget but in its volunteers. They run the orchestra," Black believes.

The suburban Washington iD.C. I resident was in Indianapolis yesterday to address the kickoff of the season ticket sales effort of the Women's Symphony Committee at a reception in the home of Mrs. Michael B. Maurer and a luncheon meeting in the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis of the Bach Group of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra door-to-door ticket campaign. Praising the Indianapolis women's group, he said.

"Marian (Mrs. Boris Meditch is one of the greats of the world." She is nominated for president of the Women's Council of the American Symphony Orchestra League, and the executive director of the league predicts she will win the balloting at the national convention at New Orleans, next month. THE "ESTABLISHMENT" of the existing women's guilds may be threatening. Black continues. "Many junior associations are being formed nationally.

They are the mavericks. If the older women have a tea the junior groups have a beer bust. It is coming. "Voluntarism is booming everywhere. And that's what makes the music personal.

Volunteers must give to receive. Voluntarism is a gift of opening their eyes." Black calls complete government subsidy lor the arts "awful." The ideal is a combination of private and government funds, he contends. And he's completely against subsidy for volunteers. "If you pay for a gift you diminish its worth for both the giver and recipient."

Indiana's state-wide Women's Symphony Committee is the largest organization of its type in the United States. "I think voluntarism is a mark of civilization and a mark of fulfilling one's life. That's the key. Everybody wants to live forever, like Picasso.

But if you don't have talent, you can by being a volunteer. That way you can say, 'If it weren't for me. we wouldn't have Black concludes. ,3 3 MRS. MEDITCH is vice-president of the Indiana State Symphony Society, is an honorary vice-president of the Women's Committee Executive Board and has served as Women's Committee president and many in other offices.

She presently is vice-president of the Women's Council of the American Symphony Orchestra League and has been president of the Alliance of the Indiana-plis Museum of Art.
