Medford Mayor Fred T. Nc
Dermott was so impressed with
the recent Community Soldier
Send-Off Party that this week
Mayor McDermott called a meet
ing at city Hall to map plans
for similar send-offs for all
other Medford men entering the
service. The local committee
and citizens may well be proud.
We started the ball rolling. This
time we showed City Hall.
Joe Parham, recently recov-
cred from an auto accident,
was reported not seriously in
jured in the recent train wreck
of the New York Central at Erie,
Pennsylvania. Joe, World War
II veteran, is a member of the
train crew. Since returning from
the war, Joe has encountered
many civilian hazards, but takes
them all with a smile.
Men of the 182nd Airborne
are now saluting Sergeant Bob
Furey who was recently pro-
NOTED to that grade. And from
Camp Mccoy, Wisconsin, letters
are beginning to arrive home
from the local men Of the 272nd
Field Artillery who still contin-
ue to say how much they ap-
preciate the wonderful Send-off
party and gifts from, the home
folks. SO you ladies who baked
those luscious cakes and all you
folks who helped in any way
possible can feel certain today
that the boys at Camp Mccoy
will always remember. It's a
mighty good feeling to have.
Next week We hope to have a
report on the big stage play at
the Hobbs last Friday night. The
AKA now invites everyone to
attend the Jordan Hall SYM
phony concert by the Prince Hall
Masonic Symphony orchestra,
Sunday, oct. %. Did you ever
hear colored symphony band

representing Boston,S leading
musicians? This is the oppor-
tunity Tickets may be pur-
chased from Mrs. Digger and
Mrs. Bosfeld. Everyone and
especially local Masons should
plan to attend.
