and vegetables donated by all in
terested citizens to be presented
to the sick and shut-ins on
Thanksgiving, This is a wonder
full custom and we are sure all
readers will want to add some
thing to the offerings which can
be brought to the Sunday School,
or Church Kitchen. And one of
our church members has kindly
presented a new stove for the
Shiloh Kitchen which will some
day be department in itself and
which already is retaining its
fifty-year record of being the
source of the finest public home
cooked dinners in the commun-
ity. And the generosity of all
those who are aiding the church
without headlines is the living
proof that the church will go on
ward and the Gospel is being
well received.
The Shiloh Senior and Junior
basketball teams, champions in
their division of the Medford
Protestant Church Basketball
League, will enter their third
season next month in defense of
their titles. We hear that the
locals may also be entered in
the Greater Boston church league.
The Mems Bowling Team is also
limbering up, but whether Shiloh
will have a Women's and Teen
age Bowling Team is still a ques-
ton. Many games could be ar
ranged in and around Boston
with other churches. At this
time Shiloh has the best Youth
Adult sports program in the
community, with two champion
ship league basketball teams and
a league bowling team. This
program could and should be de-
veloped more. At one time
Shiloh's Honor Club was base
ball champion of the Mystic VAL
ley Baseball Church League
comprising churches of Win
chester, Maiden, Medford and w.
Newton.
The Community Center Cub
Scor Itch first originated in
194( being revived with "a
boy. attendance at the first
meetiAs held at the Center Mon
day. The popular new Cubmas-
ter is Jim Mcdonald, a veteran
of the 272nd Field Artillery and
recently returned from Germany.
The Cubmothers already volun-
teered to assist, include Mrs.
Gene Puryear and Mrs. Bill Phil
lips. The Cubs are a junior Or
ganization of the Boy Scouts.
Ages are 9-12, and the meetings
stress crafts and hobbies, games,
educational tours, hikes, and
patriotic parades. Another Med
ford veteran returned home is
Cpl. Norman Fitzgerald and we
noticed his wife was all smiles
last week. It's good to see the
boys come home. With the new
veterans education programs we
regret to note that none has yet
chosen the profitable trade of
plumbing, a very great need in
the community. The first CT.
plumber will have it made. Is
anybody listening?
The anticipated colored candid
ates for the 1858 Medford City
Council and School Committee
will not get to first base unless
some sort of a joint organization
gets into action soon. Candidates
have run before and they have
lost due to lack of organization.
The New Year is just around the
corner and it is not too soon to
draw up plans. This reporter
did try to start the ball rolling
with a meeting last October. We
favored then, and still favor, a
community organization of all in
terested club groups allied into
non-partisan civic club work
ing with other civic clubs in the
city. For even though other city
civic groups do exist, the fact is
none are directly concerned with
this community and its full as
pirations, including the running
of candidates for Office. Please
