Next Monday, Jan. 13, there will be
at the Hervey School, installation of
officers for the coming year of the
Mems Club. Each and every able
bodied man of this Community should
make a special effort to turn out to
this particular meeting. 1t will mark
not only the beginning of a new club
administration, but definite program
for the coming year. There is a pro-
gram being planned to benefit both the
old as well as the young. The time
has come when personal feelings
should be forgotten in favor of more
cooperation of the members and off
GERS. During the year of 1941, the
W. M. Community Club will foster a
more responsible position in this com
nunity because of its broad program
which is to include definite plans for
a Community Center" in West Med
ford. In order to realize the success
OF such a project every loyal son Of
this district should lend his shoulders
to the wheel. By doing this you'll not
only help yourself civically, but your
children as well. So next Monday
night at 500 pm. sharp let's all be
present to see and judge for ourselves
Just what the West Medford Mems
Club intends to do. Remember the
place: the Hervey School on Sharon
St.-R.C.S.

Ahoy there, you land lubbers of the
"Medfordian." Come aboard the ship
Of romance and sail with Captain X
to the Isle of Romance. You can
make reservations without delay.
Already we have some passages
booked. Perched high up on the fore
castle is that old sea dog of EN- all,
Captain X, who is casually watching
all with those keen eyes discerning
everything from stem to stern. Seen
on the quarter deck are Cecil Phillips
and Millie while Johnnie is busy wait
ing patiently for his lady love. Busy
nursing an injured foot is Walton
Tucker who is telling all the gals how
he did it. On the bow of this beautiful
steed of the sea we find those popular
Robinson sisters, Estelle and Louise,
who are leaning over the railing look
ing wistfully into space. Dancing in
the spacious main salon we find the
following couples; Sonny and Dee
Mike and Editha, Pete and Kay, Whit
and Alberta, Elmer and Annie, Rudy
and Barbara of Boston, Ray Phillips
and Gregor and Eugene and the An
derson chippie of Worcester. Just
entering the salon is Steve and Alyce
accompanied by Stump. Seated at
the soda fountain we see Paul and
Sylvia with Eddie Stoner taking their
order. Time forces the tour of the
Medfordian to come to a halt until
next week,-Mr. X.

But under no conditions would wish for any commendation for any service I may have render ed If it is possible, please do not mention my name in any special role.

 Captain Leedscourt carefully broke the seal Oh an envelope stamped all over with: Sealed Orders" "Hii MajeSty's Royal Navy" Secret"
 "This," he explained, twill tell ui the complete story. I was ordered tC keep it sealed until given release fromthe flotilla commander at the rendezvous.

 A fast destroyer, acquainted witt his route, would bring fresh orders when the time came to return te the original course.

A COMPLETE new set of stamps A for British Somaliland will be issued shortly and the 1888 issue will be invalidated, it has been announced by the British Crown Agent The new stamps will also have the figure of King George VI, but will show the king in full face instead of in three-quarters profile.
 Despite his one-time importance in the European picture, the for. ,mer Kaiser Wilhelm II never managed to achieve the distinc. 'tion of having his portrait placed on one of his country's stamps. As close as he came was to be shown on a 1900 stamp addressing a crowd.
