Shiloh News
The Shiloh and 1851 Medford
Church League basketball cham
pions, both Senior and Junior di-
visions, presented their hard won
and TREASURED d championship
trophy to Shiloh last Sunday
morning, the presentation being
made by Aubrey Barnett to the
Rev. Oscar Phillips before
most enthused congregation. This
was Shiloh's first representation
into any of Medford's youth
church leagues and it has result
ed into twin titles for the Shiloh
intosenior and junior teams. The
entire community has reason to
be proud of these young men.
They played the season under
several obstacles, including the
lack of proper uniforms. They
now face the grand opportunity
of playing April Z in the Greater
Boston Protestant Church basket
ball tournament, representing
not only Shiloh but all of the
churches in the city of Medford.
1t is quite obvious that these
boys need uniforms which con-
sist mostly of basketball jersies
and trunks, or shorts. ANY organ
ization or any individual wish
ing to contribute toward these
uniforms will be helping fine
cause; the encouragement of
youth into wholesome church ac-
tivity. Please make your con-
tributions at the church. The in
vitation is open to everyone. In
cidentally we hope a large photo
graph will be made of the two
championship squads and placed
in the church for all to see. A
photograph of Shiloh S first
League Bowling team should also
be posted. These are fine achieve
ments which should be kept on
record. In both instances they
represent Shiloh's first entry into
Medford League church sports
competition. Help to maintain
this progress. Keep the name Of
Shiloh waving on high. Whats
In A Name?" was the sermon
subject of Christian Endeavor
Director William Connor, last
Sunday. The services were also
attended by the Center Cub
Scout Pack along with Hampt
Alexander, Cubmaster, and Bob
Jones, of the Cub Scout COM
mittee. The interest of the Med
ford youth in our church, is with
out question, one of the most
hopeful signs Of the day. The
hard working Shiloh Christian
Endeavor group is doing fine
work. A Church Chicken Dinner
will be offered the public on
Thursday evening, March 20 at a
reasonable price. AS everyone
knows, the church dinners have
never been surpassed anywhere
in the city. Mrs. Faucina Booker,
ardent church worker, has recov-
cred from her recent illness and
operation and wishes to publical-
ly thank all of her many friends
for their kindness and favors
during her sickness and confne-
ment.
The Adult Night at the Com
munity Center. for the benefit OF
the building fund, was well at
tended and featured a fine recre-
alton and musical program by
committee chairman Leo Barros.
1t is quite evident that the future
of the Center can be made much
brihgter with further citizen CO.
operation. There is quite a posi-
bility that the Center may be
enlisted in the future for the
Red Cross or Civilian Defense.
Easter will be observed with
special religious services through
out the city. The Center Girl
Scout Troop, under Miss Veron-
lea Lanier, will present the
annual outdoor Sunrise Service
at Digger Park and invites any
and all volunteer contributions to
the program. In many parts of
the world, our servicemen are
facing sacrifice and hardships,
Which is one big reason the peo-
pie at home should preserve the
faith and the temples of worship.
And if that means sacrifice, that
is the meaning also of religion.
Don't forget to contribute to the
church basketball team, folks.
And speaking of good neighbors.
How many of you have invited
the Rev. Phillips, the Martins and
Mr.. Connor to the neighborhood
homes to better show our appre-
Citations.
