Going My Way" was the SER
mon-subject of Pastor Bailey at
Shiloh last Sunday and the
right hand Of fellowship was
given Mrs. Martha Booker. Also
among those present was ex-
Medfordite, Miss Mabel Reed,
and we are happy to note that
Mrs. Lena Walker, ardent church
and community worker, Is up
and around again after an ILL
ness. DR.. Clifton Randolph OF
New York and son of the late
Rev. and Mrs. James Randolph,
pioneer residents of this city,
enjoyed brief visit here last
week with relatives and friends.
His Honor, Mayor Walter E.
Lawrence of Medford has written
this column a fine letter COM
mending local citizens for their
excellent program in establish
ing the w. Medford Community
World War II memorial and we
note many features of our local
program are being used in the
Mayors huge city-wide Wei
come Home program for Med
ford veterans next month. Lo-
cal workers are also aiding in
this gala affair. Another fine !
letter comes from Mr.. Robert A.
Jones, chairman of the SOUTH |
ERNAIRE'S CONCERT commit |
tee who is doing a great job |
putting the program across, but |
who needs the loyal support Of |
every reader to assure success.
We note a increasing enthus-
iasm in Community Center
work. Most all citizens like to |
contribute if they are encour-
aged. And they should be en-
couraged. Mrs. Sarah ".
schenck, chairman of the Cen
ter Educational Committee
which is doing valuable work |
for the community, announces
that, beginning this month, the /
Center will be open three days |
a week, Tuesday, Wednesday |
and Thursday, with Mrs, La
Blanch Puryear, Mrs. Florence |
Lovelace and Mrs. Bessie Robin
son, in charge during the hours
Of 1880 pm. This will be |
welcome news especially to the
littlefolk who attend the daily |
park sessions. AS a former in
structor, I know that the regu-
lar park director and young |
sters can all work together |
with the Center instructors pro- |
viding both balanced outdoor /
and indoor programs. This |
will make the work much easier. |
Mr.. Frisby will endeaYor to con-
duct a Hobby Glass each Thurs
day night at 1880 with young |
and old, including veterans, par |
ticipating in whatever crafts
they like. Mrs. Schenck and |
her co-workers are not only to
be commended but encouraged |
in these constructive measures.
This is community work of prog
ress much more valued than
some other affairs.
The veterans need and should |
have the opportunity to enjoy
the Center radio, library, partici-
pate in arts and crafts, or just |
a light game of checkers or whist
certain nights of the week at
the Center. Mr.. Frisby's pro-
gram will offer a start in this
direction and probably he can
make some convenient arrange
ments wit hthe local veterans |
club for co-workers, tools on
priority and other materials
needed. It's worth trying. |

Back Your Future
No One Else Will
The government is confident
that the American people who
backed the attack will back the
future. 1t is up to us individually
and voluntarily to see that we
are going to get those things for
which we have been working.
There is a sure and certain way
in which we can get all these
things-the purchase and reten-
ton of Savings Bonds.
We are faced today with sort
of initiation that could destroy
our way of life. The money we
earn is worth only what it will
buy; the amount of money in cir
culation today is more than 8
times the amount in circulation
during 1910. We can prevent in
flation by taking out of circula-
ton these dollars now IN the
purchasing market.
This is not an appeal for fight
ing dollars, the one to which you
responded SO nobly during the
war. This is an appeal for work
ing dollars. Every dollar invested
in savings will help prevent in
flation. The best way to save our
money is the easiest way and the
easiest way is through the pay
roll purchase of savings bonds.
Start your own savings program
, or increase the one you have be-
fore next payday rolls around.
Back your future today in the
savings bond payroll way. The
future is secure for those who
plan for it.
