The worlds greatest needs now
and all the time are fellowship,
service, and cooperation. Not
who we are and where we are
but what we do where we are. If
you are not the vehicle or either
of the four wheels, be a fifth
wheel though out of sight. Travel
will be hard without you. Come to
Zion Sunday, May %, 1O:45 A. M.
Subject; "The Shining Way.
1880 P. NJ. "Be ready. Sunday
May 10, found action and joy at
Zion. That sermon on compromise
and death by Re-. Dennis proved
beyond all doubts, to go straight
in life you must hear and do. That
man Of God heard and did a part
of Gods biddings but a prophet
of God or one who said he was
one turned the man of God out
of the way and caused him to be
slain by lion in the way. As a
message or a telegram must go
through without interference, so
with Christians life; they must
not turn right nor left but go
straight ahead.--At 1880 P. NJ. the
pastor used as the sermon text,
"The prodigal Son." under three
heads the home, the departure,
and the return. He followed that
foolish and wild boy from good
home, not just place to stay, but
what a home ought to be. But
that boy as now wanted to wallow
in the filth and good times of his
young life by forgetting home.
But his gang left when money left.
So he found himself alone, home
less, ragged dirty and hungry and
swine keeper. hat now? He
found welcome back in that good
home. That door still swings wide
for all prodigal sons and daugh-
tiers. Our evening guests were
Miss Dora Coates Of Myrtle Bap-
fist Church and Mrs. willis Of The

fifth of Harvard Avenue. The W.
Medford Ramblers dropped the
two opening league games last
week but the boys are not dis
couraged and are learning a lot
about league play for next season.
Manager Isaacs and this coach
have had our working hours
changed again to hinder our prac-
tice. We're doing our best, with
out any reward, and others could
pitch in and give their time too.
Why not see Manager Isaacs and
help? Ramblers want to thank
Lend-A-Hand and Four and
Twenty Clubs for voting funds to
aid the boys last week. We have
two home games at Duggers. Next
Monday Ramblers meet the Ward
Three club, and on Thursday eve
ming Ward Seven will come here
for game. Contests begin at
6:15 P. NJ. On Sunday the local
officers and enlisted men will
tangle in game, 8 P. NJ. at Dug
ger Park. This game won't prove
anything but it will be as highly
entertaining as tn egame last
week, if not more so. We suspect
Sgt. Eddie Andrews and Petty
Officer Charles Anderson will get
into this game, and if Sgt Steve
Douglass is reading this, he will
be first on the field. Tennis prae-
tice opened last week. There's a
lot more news but we haven't
time to round up tn efinal score.
Thanks for listening....M

 It is estimated that well over
 alf a million dollars a month will be saved the people of Alas ka so long as the service remains as a government operation, Del egate Bartlett stated.
