The First Diamond Ball, pre-

not only had Medfordites On
the working committee and as
patrons and guests, but also
two youngsters, Diane Nelson
and Roberta Emmons were very
much a part of the brilliant
cast. Mrs. Elmira Matthew won
the Governors Cup for the
most tickets. There is a very
good possibility that even more
Medfordites will participate in
the 1854 event. Those who serv-
ed, served well.
The annual Rhodes Operatic
presentation which was held re-
Gently, also had MedforditeS in
the cast. They were Mrs. Vera

fleets a fine progressive trend.
The Medford Little League,
with teams of small boys of all
races and creeds throughout
the city is making its real
debut this year. We are all to
play at real early age which
might eventually develop some
for the Major Leagues in years
to come. With each colored lad
being given the same chance as
the rest, every effort should
be made to encourage and to
help these small boys clubs
which will do much to aid
youth. All men wishing to vol
unteer prat time as coaches,
trainers, etc. will be welcome
throughout the year. See your
district officials.
