Old Timers Game Tied. SIS
On Sunday, the Cambridge
Medford Oldtimers' game was
called a 6-6 tie by the umpire
who was forced to stop the
contest due to rain. In spite
of the weather, a good crowd
was on hand to witness the
game at Digger Park which
this year has become a pleasant
place Of recreation for the en-
tire community. Many soldiers
attended the contest.
Park Circus
r. Digger Park was brilliantly
represented in the Medford Rec
reational Park Circus last week
by the Lloyd Wright trio and a
young harmonica duo. The only
swing music combination of the
evening found Jump Joe Par
ham at the keyboards, Smilin'
Sharkey Williams at the drums
and Rhythm Wright blowing his
hot trumpet. At the first notes
OF this colored trio, the white
boys and girls crowded around
and were loud in their ap-I
plause. Earlier in the evening
a five piece harmonica band in
GLIDING James Allen and Fred
die Colebrook from Digger Park
put on a well received program
Of popular songs
100 Books Start Library
Around a hundred books were
presented the Digger Park In
structor last week by Miss Char
lotte Snowdon for the use of the
boys and girls Of the commun-
ity. Arrangements are being
made 10 keep the books in the
new Community House and this
kind donation may mean the
beginning of a very fine Com
munity House Public library.
Miss Snowdon has completed a
most helpful season at Digger
Park where she served as a vol
unteer instructor for girls. Miss
Snowdon now plans to continue
her studies in the fall.
Many are surprised at the
varied uses of the Community
House even at its present early /
stage Of construction. During
the past week the house has
served in many helpful ways
and means ought to be planned |
for further use.

Togo Watched Jopon Rise From Perry to Parity TAPAN'S navy backs up Nippon's v bid for world power and the credit for building that navy to greatness rests largely upon the achievements of Admiral Heiachi- TO Togo, pictured on the stamp above.
 Togo was six years old in 1854, when Commodore Matthew Cal- braith Perry, representing United States, opened Japan's closed ports to world trade. At his death, 30 years later, Japan was seeking domination of the Orient.
 Togo played a most important part in the development of mod ern Japan, remains one of the na- tion's greatest heroes. He entered the navy, was sent to England for training.
 In la94 he precipitated the Sino- Japanese war by sinking a Chi- nese troopship. He also estab- lished the Japanese policy of fighting undeclared war.
 Admiral Togo's greatest victory was that of the Russo-Japanese war when the Japanese fleet he commanded defeated the Russian armada at Tsushima in May, 1905. Togo was hailed as the Nelson of Japan"

APRIL PLANS ESCAPE
CHAPTER XVIII

But you couldn't keep yourself harricaded in . room forever. April knew she would have to face Kent eomeday. Tn the first few days of his return, her absence wasn't noted, apparently.
 Kent and Ann are like two children" Mother told April on one of her flying visits. So sweet together"
 And Rents eyesP" April asked from Q dry throat.
 Mother said, well, at first glance you'd never know anything had been wrong. The operation was 6 marvellous success. But sometimes - looking ct him." Her voice trailed of.
 April logged her. "Yes, sorne- times what?"
 Mrs. Burnett sighed. Hes changed, of course," she began uncertainty. Anyone would who went through such an experience. And now and then 1t seems as if I catch Q strange, questioning look in his eyes - as If he wasn't quite sure of himself 1t was true"
 "oh. I think I know what you mean"
 Mother frightened at once. He asked for you last night, April"
 '.'Yes? What did he say2"
 "Well, he wanted to know If you'd gone away. After all, dear, you're the gay one in this family, always going places. Why don't you come. down tonight?"
 "I'li see how I feel"
 Kent had wanted to know If she had gone away. Perhaps he hoped she had. Perhaps he wanted her away. The phrase began to hammer in her bran.i
 Meanwhile, downstairs, Ann sang all day. But when she came into Apriis room, she'd lower her voice as if April were really an invalid and the room Q sickroom. If she'd been blooming when Rents letters were coming, she was radiant now In Rents return. Faint color had Crept into her white SKin, her eyes shone.
 "There's one thing I want to thank you for April she said.
 Thank me?'
 "YCs. you didn't tell Kent about my addition with Vivano, did you?"
 No, you asked me not to-"
 wen keep that to ourselves" Ann said.
 "SWre, right in the bosom of the family"
 Ann changed the subject quick ly. "rhink you'll be up to being a bridesmaid. sister? Kent and l are going to set day soon."
 So 1t had come. A wedding. Ann's wedding to Kent!
 Every time Kent drove over from the Carter house on the hill, April found another excuse 50 she

home that she was there, they would understand, know she was safe. And she would stay until after Ann's wedding, resting, for getting.
 She was downstairs, her fur jacket on, at quarter of 8.
 Just in time, too, for the door bell rang at almost the same sec- ond.
 "It's for me-" April called, and hurried, with only the trace of 8 limp, to answer the door for Hal.
 But 1t wasn't Hal who stood there. It was shabby, bleary- eyed old man. Winkie Appleman. And beside him was the burly figure of the town constable. (T0 Be Continued)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-03

might stay in her room.
 But a plan was forming in her mind. Kent Carter had asked If she had gone away.
 She would 90 away!
 The idea took shape, grew. There was place where she could go, quietly and without fuss.
 If she confided in Mother and Dad beforehand, they'd make a fuss. But if she could slip away without them knowing and then send Q letter telling where she had gone, they wouldn't be alarmed.
 So on a Monday in mid-Janu. ary, her plans completed, she packed her bag kith the few things she needed. T feel better already" she told Nip as he rosed into the suitcase. I've moped about Kent Garter long enough"
 She knew she couldn't carry out her plans alone. There would be no way of driving the roadster, no means of getting to the train by herself.
 Waiting until the house had quieted that afternoon, she took her suitcase downstairs and hid 1t in Q clump of shrubbery by the front porch. Yes. the brown bushes were perfect camoufiage for the brown bag.
 Then she came into the hallway and telephoned to Hal Parks. How about picking me up at 8 o'clock tonight?" she asked.
 Hal said he would be there, on the nose, with bells on. Nothing, he added, could have suited him better.
 Now that she had started, fate began to play very helpfully Into her hands. She learned from Oc. tavia that Kent would not be con- ing for Ann that night until 8:30. So she came down for dinner with the family for the first time.
 She found herself looking from one face to another with an al- most hungry look. They were all dears, Mother and Dad and Ann, who seemed about to burst with happiness. She, April, had been the thoughtless one, the selfish one.
 octavia pressed cornpone and fried chicken on Ann, her 'l1oney chile" but once or twice April caught Octavia's eyes on her. something unfathomable and sad In their dark depths.
 II have a date tonight" April announced. With Hal Parks"
 Dad protested, but not too much. Mother smiled vaguely. T couldn't bear to lose both my girls" she said.
 That made April choke for a minute, but she was Surer now than ever she was taking the best way. Better to have them all hurt for little while than to stay and betray the terrible ache in her heart for Ann's sweetheart.
 Tt will do you good to get out" Ann was saying.
 You have to take the plunge some time." April answered. I've paid penance long enough, don't you think?"
 "Penance?" Ann's voice was grave.
 After dinner, April hurried up- stairs to dress. She chose plain gray wool frock. with matching tur- ban, red pocketbook that held makeup, money. the key to the suitcase hidden outside and another key.
 The money was enough to take her to her destination. The key would do the rest. She was going to the little town upstate on the river where the Burnetts had their log cabin. Surely, when she wrote
