WEST MEDFORD

The prospect of Digger Park
being eliminated and the Com
munity Center area being cur
tailed, if not closed, was the talk
of this district last week, follow
ing reports that the State is
planning q bridge and three-lane
traffic highway through the
riverside Of the IN nun ty
which may even affect some
houses. Reported to be another
of the State projects along the
lines of the recent Mystic Bridge
project, this runor has been
floating in the air now for months
and a Petition was drawn up and
signed by local citizens as an act
of protest well in advance of any
action taken. Although no "of-
fetal" statement has been made
we can now tell you that City
Hall has been requested to clari-
fly this persistant runor. The
Medford City manager has been
asked to issue some statement
for the press to inform the peo-
pie, since it is his business to
know of all projects affecting the
city. But if continued silence
on this subject prevails among
the authorities, il Us up to local
citizen groups to find out what's
cooking. But quick. Because as
city and state taxpayers, the
people have a right to be heard
Too much is at stake to foregc
an investigation as to whether
this rurnor is fiction or fact. If i
is true, its going to be quite |
battle to turn aside such
project. We hope to have NOR

ner has won him many friends.
For many years he was connected
with the E. /. Dupont Company
in Everett. Being very ambi-
tious, Mr.. Sport struck out for
himself along about 1912; so he
left the Dupont's and turned
part Of his home into a chemical
laboratory where he began
manufacturing beauty products
for the hair end skin. Slowly but
surely he has built up a splendid
trade and today, he supplies
beauticians from coast to coast
and ninety five percent Of those
in the Boston area alone. Quite
recently he was asked to share
the pulpit with Rev, Donald c.
Mcmillan of the South Wey-
mouth Universalist Church. The
subject was Democracy and
Brotherhood which took the
form of a discussion on between
the minister and the chemist on
that Sunday morning. Mr.. Sport
handled the tricky Race issues
touched upon in a diplomatic
manner, driving home his points
to the almost all caucasion aud
fence in such manner that they
were not offensive but received
with grave thoughtfulness. With
his short talk and answers to
several questions put to him by
Mr.. Mcmillan, one gathered that
the races could and would work
together amicably when given a
chance and that in spite of dis
examination and other diricuI-
ties, the colored people have
come a long way in fifty years;
that most Of them are tired Of
mental Jobs and can do any
thing our whites can do and are
proving 1t each day. Mr.. Sports
talk was enthusiastically re
ceived by every one present and
the church officials have asked
him to find time to return with
another message. Mr.. Sport

SCUM SHORE

The South Shore Citizens
Club, organized in February,
1912, by Miss Mabel Diggs OF
bingham has started its eighth
year with a very busy schedule
for the Spring and early sum-
mer. Being a civic club 1t tries
to help worthy causes and peo-
pile in the South Shore area
which are legitimate and de-
serving. Its chief project is the
raising Of funds each year to
give a one hundred dollar Sehol-
arship to the girl or boy high
school graduate in the area who
meets the requirements Of the
club and are going to further
their education for higher learn
ing. Tho he was outclassed
about two years ago by an
other pupil, young Louis Bonitto
just missed winning a scholar
ship at that time. However,
since then, this young man has
been working rather hard at an
agricultural school and seems
to be doing well. So the club
has chance books out in an eff
fort to raise some money to
help him keep up his good work
for another year which will put
him in position to get Just whaf
he wants after he graduates.

Emily Post

A victim OF an allergy explains:
"It is neither contagious nor dead
ly, but I have a rash which recurs
on my forearms and hands. This
looks ugly and produces a lot of
attention and comment. Even so,
aren't people being rude to en-
phasize the condition and ask all
sorts of questions about it?"
The rather excusing explanation
that occurs to me is that it must
impress people as being a tempo
rary aff1iction such as that caused
by poison ivy and they want to
suggest a personally tried remedy.
They would surely not comment if
they believed it a chronic afflic-
ton.

ance's family have offered their
house. Would it be possible, if we

would it look as though they were
giving us our reception?

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you tell
me whether I may assume that
the young man who invited me to
go on weekend trip to the shore,
to be chaperoned by two married
couples (making six of us in the
group, will pay my expenses?
Answer: I'm sorry but this
question is too underlined to an
Swer. First of all, his invitation
should very certainly be seconded
by one of the wives who would
either invite you to be her guest,
or let you pay your way to her.
In other words, your board and
lodging" cannot-with propriety-
be paid by any young man."
Gloves
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you tell
me If it Is proper to wear an
afternoon dress in the evening and
go without a hat? Should gloves
be worn?
Answer: It is always proper to
go without a hat in the evening no
matter what kind of dress you are
wearing. Whether you wear
gloves depends upon where you
are going-as a matter of fact,
gloves are never improper.
