and to two people without havng cold facts at hand "It was a grossly unfair move on someone's part to disrupt the harmony which exists between the Speedway and its stockholders We have had nothing but congratulations on Our race and the prospects for the track from stockholders There has not been a single evidence of dissatisfaction least of all from Mr Mc11- vaine whom we regard as our staunchest supporter" McILVAINE contacted at his Fall Church Va home said he knew "absolutely nothing" of such a move "I have no authority in the track and I don't want any" McIlvaine said "All I did was try to help a couple friends and I still want to do that I'm all for the boys and will continue to assist them in any way that I can They said we wouldn't have that first race but we did and I don't see why we shouldn't keep on having races" he added "Of course you're going to incur some debts if you build a two million-dollar race track with one million dollars We made a mistake in obtaining short term financing rather than permanent financing at the outset Now I understand the track is seeking to obtain permanent financing fa long-term loan) which should solve their problems" Mc Maine said Added Turner "The Speedway has a commitment for a loan right now st hich would pay all our current bills However It Involves an extremely high Interest rate and we would like to find a more reasonable lender if possible "Permanent financing was impossible at the outset because no one would make such a loan without a statement of operation Our financial statement will show Qualifying Set In LEGA

create dirt or stain your home This is true regardless of the fuel used Smudges on windows and draperies are usually caused by ordinary household dirt and grease particles that are picked up by the flow of air and deposited on cooler surfaces When filters are changed often a forced air heating system actually helps rid household air of dirt and dust Other aids are good exhaust fans and hoods
