1 continue 10 WIN many 1IlSllus
here Last week the Pot Luck
Supper on their behalf was well
attended and enjoyed by every
one, including Pastor Phillips.
So this Saturday night, s PM,
the Junior Matrons will be host
to the Friends at the Center
again. There will be refresh
ments and more Square Dane
ing. Everyone invited.
Church g. Center
We have often stressed the
fact that the Church and Com
munity Center can be an inn
portant cooperative and coor-
dinated unit. AS a matter of
fact this column has long advo-
Gated that the church school
rooms and vestry be branch of
the Center both under the old
Works projects pattern and now
under the current Community
Fund. Thus on crowded occas-
sions both units could be used,
and in case Of emergencies to
either church or Center. one
unit could be available. While
this idea has never been Off
cially accepted, the plan has
been utilized to a marked de-
gree. Many of the Church
members work at the Center.
And last week when boiler
trouble developed in the church,
the Center opened its doors to
be host to the visiting st. Marks
Christian Endeavor group Of
Roxbury which was given a
fine welcome here by the Shiloh
group under president Al Hen
derson Jr. The Boston group,
which incidently has a fine re-
creation program and Center,
certainly enjoyed the visit here
last week. 1t is to be hoped
that more visits will be ex-
changed and perhaps program
Of athletic games arranged. On
Friday Nov. 18th, the Nursery
School Fund Adult Game Night
will be held at the Center. All
adults are invited to enjoy a
pleasant evening of good neigh /
Dor entertainment The games
will include bridge, whist, can
asia, checkers Chinese or other
wise) and dominoes too. Every
one invited. Tickets may be
purchased from committee mem
bers including Mrs. Leo Barros.
Mrs. Ruth Thorpe, Mrs. Harnil-
ton Kelley. and Mrs. Martha

Center Friday night for adults
of all ages. This is Adult Night.
