Medford will look like one lonely de-
serted town when thirty-eight of its
finest Guardsmen will leave for their
annual tour of duty which will be
three weeks this year. Those who are
leaving Sunday morning at the wee

Billy and Ernie Phillips, Al Kountze,
and Ted Thompson; Corporals, Eddie
Digger, Bill Nelson, William Josey,
Lloyd Reavis, Robert Booker and Ray

of Harvard Ave, were Miss Cune Les
monde of Everett and Miss Miriam
Falcon of Brookline.
