Jesus Christ and the Importance
of religion to the world. Rev.
Oscar Phillips then commended
the many Shiloh members and
friends who are now engaged in
community service and the fine
cooperation between the Com
munity Center and the church.
He said the churches in every
community should provide COM
munity workers and goodwill.
Mr.. Chester Works spoke CRATE
fully on behalf of the Shiloh
Boys basketball teams.
- Civilian Defense -
Wanted; Auxiliary Medford
police and firemen of all races
and creeds for possible emer-
gency duty in Medford Civil De-
fense. Each community is be-
ing asked for volunteers. They
may register now at the nearest
Medford fire-station Blower ST.
or the Medford police station
main ST.. Men who are handy
as electricians, plumbers, me-
chanics, are also asked to regis
ter. Women from each COM
munity are wanted as Nurses
aides, health workers and other
vital talents. They may register
at City Hall, ground floor.
While not yet official, it is
possible that the Church and
the Center may both be utilized
either as Child Care or First Aid
stations for Civilian Defense,
should the need arise. Some
churches have already offered
their facilities for first aid cen
ters in some cities. The Stable
Center in South Medford was
recently reopened on the basis
of the argument that it would
be used as a Child Care Center,
even now, for mothers working
on defense jobs. The Center
thus becomes essential. The
Medford Mercury stated last
week: "Nor will South Medford
be the only place where a
Child'S Center will be required
in Medford." All interested in
dividuals and organizations
wishing to help Civil Defense
should get in on the program
now before final plans are
drawn up. John E. Plante is
director.
The Medford $4,000 Salvation
Army drive is now underway.
Mrs. Dorothy Kountze, Mrs.
Edith West and Mrs. Emma
Thompson are the official rep
resentatives in this district.
Please give generously to a Won
derful organization. The Sal
lies do not discriminate. And
they help our servicemen.
In sports last week, the Med
ford Mustangs defeated Somer-
vile with Chet Works winning
the 900 yd. run and Vim Valen-
tine placing second in the Mile
run. Tufts College defeated Blu.
as co-captain Armand Furey won
the 600 yd. run and Bob Jones
tied for the high jump and won
the broad jump. In the fresh
man meet, Reggie Allyne won
the dash. You fans haven't seen
Allyne at his best. He has run
a 49 second quarter mile and
even as freshman is prob
ably as fast as Irwin Howe. At
the K. of G. meet Allyne was
tired. He had already competed
that afternoon. But coaches at
Tufts are ming Allyne
slowly. They are not after pub
licity. And last week the Shiloh
basketball teams quietly contin-
ued their undefeated record in
the Medford church basketball
league. This column was re-
