Shiloh's most enthusiastic youth !
group Christian Endeavor in a
good many years had complete |
charge of the Jan. 11th morning
worship services last Sunday
with a fine congregation in at
tendance. The Shiloh Christian
Endeavor Superintendent Mr..
William Conners, delivered the
Sunday sermon based on the
subject, 81 Am the Truth" And
in this observance of church
Youth Week, there were five
community teenagers behind the
Pulpit. Miss Cynthia Isaacs spoke
on the History of the Christian
Endeavor. Miss Dorothy Nc
Donald with Elmer Kountze, Jr,
spoke on the relations and re-
sponsibilities between the Chris !
tian Endeavor and the Church.
The local group president, Alex
ander Henderson, Jr., spoke on
the progress of the Shiloh c. F.
and he invited more help and |
encouragement from adults. Rich
ard Graham presented the Scrip
ture and responsive reading. |
Beautiful hymns were sung by |
the Shiloh Junior Choir and Rev.
Oscar Phillips gave closing re-
marks in which he commended |
the young people of Medford |
who, later. in the day were hosts
to visiting Christian Endeavor
guests from Newton who made
the $50 P. M. evening session a
pleasant inter-racial gathering.
It's been a good many years since |
our young people have been so
active in the church. Shiloh is
requesting your aid in the pur-
chase Of more and new hymnsls.
And on Sunday, Feb. 25th, Shiloh
plans to present feature pro-.
gram with guest speakers and
guest Choir. The Little Church
on the Corner" really is active
these days, folks. And there's an
open invitation to everyone, re-
gardless of race, color or creed.
That's proven in the action and
not Just the preaching. And that
is why, perhaps, Shiloh has had
such continued good fortune. A
fine youth group, including two
champion basketball teams in
city church league, is something
all Of us can appreciate and
value in our united effort to train
youth for the church and COM
munity service. So let's all be
good neighbors and help Shiloh
in whatever way we can. For
there is no doubt the church is
helping this community. It has
done so for over so years.
Boston's 1851 Blue Ribbon

Baptist Church, sponsored by the
Progressive Hairdressers' Asso-
citation with Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver
Newton of Medford and present
ing the famous New York stylist,
Bill Simmons, assisted by Miss
Ruth King New York Powers
model. Needless to say, the
event was brilliant with glamour
and exhibited some of the most
attractive women in the Bay
State. Among the models from
Medford were the Misses Caro-
line Neal, Mary Booker, Debora
Rose, Vivien Freeman and the
Mesdames Josephine Alves,
Dorothy Kountze and Vivian
Parham. All of the pretty ushers
were from Medford. They were

daughter, Gwen Madden, wishes
to thank the artists, the models,
volunteers, patrons and everyone
who contributed toward making
the recent show a great success.
The Sports picture for Medford
last week was also good with
Medford High School almost up
setting the track dope, just los
ing the Met Schoolboy to favored
Brookline by a 1898 score. It |
was no fault of Chef Works and
Vim Valentine who turned in
their best championship meet !
performance. Chet won the 600 |
and Vim won the 1000 yard run.
At New York Captain Armand |
Furey helped Tufts win the mile |
relay. The sad note Of the week |
is now known throughout the /
community. It is the question
of continuing the local Center. II /
is not a new question, nor are
they new problems. Mrs. Pur-

done fine job. So have the 1
