WHEN BUT A CHILD
When but child so small and weak
My mother nursed me by the week,
Always tenderly standing near
To wipe away each childish tear.
Often she held me in her arms to see
What wonderful world God had made
for me.

The special Medford N.Y.A. personal
interviews by placement director Viii
liam D. Jackson was held as scheduled
this week at SO Jerome Street. It was
revealed that several young people of
the community had not received a fair
opportunity from the local officials,
charge that has also been directed
against the local W.P.A.
William "BilP Dabney, hard hitting
new colored assistant to the State
W.P.A. Director has heard about con-
ditions in this city and the report is
that Mr. Dabney is coming here with
Mr.. Jackson in the near future for what
may develop into a vitally important
program at Shiloh Baptist in which the
public will be allowed to do some of the
speaking for jobs.
News relative to the big Testimonial
for Eddie Dugger next week, Thursday,
April 18th, indicates that original plan
of the sponsors is not to use the entire
Cousens Gymnasium, but hall which
will have much smaller seating capa-
city, making it necessary for all those
wanting seats to get there early. If
necessary it is believed the Committee
can use the larger area. The hall is
located in the same building and can be
easily reached by Lechmere bus.
Soldiers home from Fort Dix over
the last weekend report that although
each 372nd Company has a day or de-
creation room, these rooms lack many
needed facilities. For all those inter
ested in helping Medford's Company
K, the boys report they need card or
bridge tables, ping pong or pool tables,
and a musical "jute box" It is suggest
ed here that clubs rather than individu-
ais remedy this situation. A contribu-
tion of united clubs of W. Medford
could secure most of the equipment in
short order and it must be shipped be-
