llllllpS VINO mas contributed so
much in helping to serve others.
Not only did she have five sons,
all officers, in the Army, but she
cared for five children of her
eldest daughter who passed away
leaving them motherless. There
are many services Mrs. Philelips
contributd to the community in
club and civic work, too well
known to mention here. Her
name was submitted by a white
neighbor, Mrs. Belle Smith of
so Bower ST., wife Of well
known Hoods employee. All of
which proves that good neigh
bors, white and colored, can and
do live side by side and that
reputation and not race is the
real factor. Congrats.
LECTURE AND LUNCHEON
Shiloh was crowded to capacity
last week, Layman Sunday, as
Editor Blodgett of the Medford
| Daily Mercury shared the speak
ers program with Miss Flieburn
of the Christian Endeavor; Mrs.
Madeline Digger, former U. S.
Army Service club director, and
Mr.. Robert Jones, Medford bus
ineSsman and board member of
the w. Medford Community Cen
ter, Seldom if ever, has Shiloh
presented such a brilliant inter-
racial array of speakers of such
varied fields. Each speaker united
the main theme of Peace with
his or her work and experience.
The church, youth, social work,
business, Armed Forces, and 9TH
err phase relations were discussed.
Editor Blodgett, the main and
last speaker, wove all the phases
into local, national and world re-
lations and traced them all into
direct relation with the Script
ures and theme of Peace. Mr..
James Sherwood made an excel
lent master of ceremonies. The
congregation enjoyed the pro-
gram immensely and similar events
will follow And a Shiloh
Luncheon was presented to
church volunteer workers last
week by the Ladies Auxiliary
in sincere appreciation of the
workers and assistants in the
church, a very fine gesture.
BENEFIT PLAY
A sizeable attendance of dra-
matte patrons witnessed the Oct.
ID three-act comedy. Apron
Strings" presented at the Hobbs
Jr. H. S. by the Boston Players
last week. Featuring Medford's
Lloyd Parham in the role of
lawyer which fitted him with
perfection, the play dwelt upon
the maladjustment of newly
weds which found solution in the
end 1t was strictly adult enter
tainment, not for children, and
the older folks found many
laugh in the early phases of
marriage which perhaps reflected
back upon their own anxious
moments. Sharing the spotlight
with Lloyd Parham was the entire
cast. Ada Roston and Folsom Ma
son played the roles Of the be-
wildered young couple; Ruth
johnson and Maurice Smith play
ed the parents. The gossipy
neighbor was played by Cynthia
Jones, and the maids role was
played by Mildred Mason. Strict
ly adult. The play was for the
benefit of the w. Medford Com
munity Center Nursery School.
The Hobbs School was donated
free by the Medford School Com
mittee. The Parents Group, Leo
Barros president, wishes publicly
to thank all who contributed to
this program.
The Oct. Is World Community
Luncheon at the First Baptist

ander Henderson, Pastor, was at
tended by five Shiloh representa-
tives, Mrs. Carrie Booker, Mrs.
Vivien Fisher, Mrs. Faucina
