list Church was Shiloh guest
minister last Sunday and deliV-
cred a splendid sermon. He was
well received. The Rev. Henri
Deas, formerly of the US. Army,
now a Tufts theological stu
dent, newspaper religious editor,
and considered one Of the most
promising young inter-racial di-
vlnity students through his lee
lures in many white churches
throughout New England, met
me on the BUS recently. He said
he looked forward to his guest
visit to Shiloh on Nov. 80, the
last Sunday of the month. We're
informer that the final decision
on Shiloh's new pastor will be
made SOM time in December,
most likely before the Christmas
season. Seldom has such a de-
cision meant so much to our
community which needs a pro-
gressive, intelligent man of
humble faith and firm fortitude
to carry on the great work, and
if necessary the sacrifice that
goes with spreading the Gospel
among our people. We may not
be so fortunate as to acquire an
other Adam Powell or even a
Rev. Willard clayton or men of
their common man appeal for
they symbolized the beloved
early era clergy:nen who went
down amog the people" aidig
them in week day problems as
well as Sunday sermons. 1t may
be we can not afford the very
best. But it is certain that the
people here are among the best
and need only the proper type of
leadership and inspiration to
prove it. The new pastor, WhoaV-
er he may be, can take courage
from these beliefs of a citizen
! who was born here and knows
the roots and fibre Of the people
who live here. Don't forget the
6 p n Shiloh Sunday Forums.
There are 50 many vital ques-
tionS on high prices, social con-
ditions, and international af-
fairs to be discussed there is ev-
cry reason why these Forums
should be encouraged by you.
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving
and may we all appreciate the
true significance Of the day. I
know every war veteran will. OF
course the annual Malden-Med-
ford classic will be played at 10
a m, ellis Stadium before the
family turkey is served. We used
to have an annual Cambridge
Horseman-W. Medford classic
the same day. Readers will be
saddened to know that Gene
Truck" Coleman, the great
Cambridge fullback who helped
keep these games going, passed
away this year. He was one solid
citizen. Medford Mustangs, led
by Gene Paglucia and Tom KEEL
ley, are undefeated but so is the
Junior High eleven which has
Warren Furey, Of Lincoln st at
quarterback, and Ralph Holder
of Jerome st at left halfback.
Richie FUR of Arlington st is a
reserve halfback on the senior
Mustangs. So cur predictions
that the local boys who are first
encouraged by LEGAL coaches like
Walt Isaacs, Red Lightfoot and
Leo Rarros, really pay of. We
ought to appreciate such men
more than we do. A second an
niversary birthday party in honr
Of Girl Scout Troop 20 was held
Friday, Nov II at the Center to
the enjoyment of all present.
