- Concert Thursday
The Shiloh Hymnal Concert
will be presented this coming
Thursday evening, 8 PM, with
everyone cordially invited to en-
joy a splendid program while,
at the same time, helping to
provide new hymn books for the
church. The good cause alone
is worthy of your attendance.
The concert gives you two
reasons to attend. Need for a
spiritual uplift from cares and
troubles of the world, will be
considerably aided by the deeply
religious songs of courage and
hope. The Shiloh ChoirS will
sing. That is program in it
self. The Bay States two ris-
ing young artists, Fred Wright,
baritone. and Miss lone Dug
ger, soprano, will further warm
your hearts with old church
favorttes, as will Mrs. Faucina
Booker, soprano, and our fine
Shiloh worker from Montana,
Mr.. william Connors. But that
isn't all you get for your very
low price of admission. There
is going to be surprise instru-
mental trio. There will be solo
pianist presentations by the very
accomplished Shiloh organist,
Mrs. Dorothy johnson, and in
tereSting readings by Mrs. Mar
tha Booker. Without doubt this
is going to be a program OF
variety and entertainment that
you will long remember. And so
far, we've never let our readers
down on advance program
notices. So make it a date for
next Thursday evening, at
Shiloh. You may get your ticket
now after church this Sunday
It is more or less just a small
collection fee, the entire pro-
ceedS going toward church
hymnal books.
Among servicemen home on
recent furlough are CAPTAIN Bill
Phillips, and Sgt. Keeney Grant,
both Of the Artillery. Welcome
home soldiers. The Lend-A-
Hand club has already quietly
mailed out gift parcels to some
of our local boys overseas. The
NAACP membership drive in
Medford will soon be underway
Let's have a membership card
in every family. Remember, the
cases of discrimination and in
tolerance aren't always going to
happen to the other fellow. 1t
may be you, or someone close
of kin. We all can afford to
spend a few dollars on good
times. Let us all put aside few
dollars against bad times by
joining the NAACP. See Mrs.
Dugger and other authorized
agents only. Not long ago this
column received two cases Of
local Medford boys being barred
from southern eating places be-
cause Of color. They were garbed
in the uniform of the U. S.
Army but it made no difference
They had to leave and go else
where to get a meal. Don't let
anybody kid you about there
being no more need for the
NAACP. Ask some of the men
in Germany and Korea. Or Just
ask the boys stationed in Dixie.
Your NAACP membership fee
pays for special legal talent
which can fight both civil and
military cases. You invest in
bonds for freedom. Your NAACP
investment is an added bond for
freedom. And II doesn't cost as
much.
Already with a sizeable sick
list, the community this week
has three more of our neighbors
in hospitals. They are Miss
Ethel Evans, Mrs. Portia Bos-
field, and Mr.. Chester Lanier, Sr.
We wish everyone a speedy re-
covery.
Mothers Day is May 18th, this
coming Sunday. Many tributes
and editorials will be written
to honor the mothers of the
world. For many years this
community had 4 Mothers Club
which symbolized the many
hopes and. aspirations Of all Med
ford mothers held for future
generations of Medfordites. To
them largely can be attributed
this community Of fine homes
