The presentation of the cele-
brated bass baritone singer Henry
c. Ellison, Tuesday evening, Nov.
8, at Chevalier Auditorium,
Medford So, is the big news of
the moment, it being the first
major Medford music hall presen-
tation of Shiloh. Baptist Church,
although Mr.. Ellison and many
other distinguished artists have
appeared here before in the past.
Whether or not this is the be-
ginning of a long mentioned idea
of bringing nationally famous
talent to Medford which already
has thrilled to the Southernaires
and undoubtedly would welcome
the Fisk Jubilee Singers, among
others, is not definitely known at
this time. However, any such
contemplated program will de-
pend largely upon the success of
the present project at hand and
the number Of blocks of tickets
distributed throughout the city.
The Shiloh Mems Club naturally
does not confne the invitation
for tickets to Medfordites alone.
Friends Of Shiloh anywhere read
ing these lines may secure tickets
from Mr.. Walter Sherwood, Jr.,
of 118 Harvard Ave-, or phone
Arlington 5-7256-R and ask for
reservations to honor the presence
of great artist. The event, to
take place next month, is not too
far away.
A Medford Dramatic Club,
offering opportunity for youth
and adults to portray outstand-

tic teacher will be enlisted to
help. Adults and youth may reg
lister now. More about this later.
A Thanksgiving Day Dance
will be presented by the Junior
Matrons' Social Club, Thursday
evening, Nov. oath, at the Com
munity Center with a popular
orchestra and a five dollar door
prize. Just an advance notice
to jot down in your note book.
The Center Girl Scouts led by
Miss Veronica Lanier enjoyed a
bicycle outing last Saturday
morning and had the laugh on the
Center Cadets whom they passed
hiking along with rifles and full
packs, flags, fishing gear, tents
and other paraphenalia. From all
reports, both groups had an en-
joyable trip and the outdoor
season for hikes is drawing to a
close. The Girl Scouts and Cadets
were warmly commended by Mrs.
Browning for the excellent work
they have performed in painting
chairs, furniture and woodwork
