The guardian., 1953-10-24
west MEDFORD

day, at P. M. when the popu-
lar Newton theological graduate
and Shiloh worker, Mr.. Henry c.
Brooks, is ordained into the
ministry before prominet
gathering of church leaders in
a program open to the public.
Following the ceremony a re-
ception will be held and refresh
ments will be served by the Pas
tors Guild to all those present.
All citizens Of the community
are cordially invited. Plan to
attend.
Former Army Chaplain, Rev.
A. Roger williams of Mass Ave.
Baptist Church, Cambridge, and
we'll known here for his mill
tary memorial exercises at Shi-
loh, was featured along with his
church last Sunday morning on
television, WBZ. Eventually a
program will be featured from
Shiloh but it is unfortunate
that the Ordination could not
be the program selected for this
Sunday. Many former Medford
men of the 372nd plan to hear
the famous 372nd Infantry mu-
sic creation, the Leonard de
Paur Infantry Chorus this Sat
urday evening at Symphony
Hall. Certainly it will be treat
few will ever forget. These
soldiers will sing out. Speaking
OF treats, Medford's Dave Cole
man and his orchestra made a
: fine dance debut at Crystal
Ballroom last week. And there
were two home-cooked meal
treats also last week. The Com
munity Center Monthly Family
Dinner Saturday Oct. II was
both plentiful as we'll as de-
liciously arranged and prepared
by Mrs. Kay IsaacS. And the
Shiloh Harvest Supper was ar
ranged and prepared Oct 14th
last week Thursday, by the
industrious Pastors Guild amid
autumn decorations provided by
Deacon Byrd and real country
fresh vegetables from the loca.
Derry owned Apple Grove Farm
in Bedford. Of course the new
Shiloh Kitchen electric coffee
urn saw plenty Of perculating
as it made its debut, having ar
rived just in time for the event
as a gift from the Pastors
Guild. And a week from this
Saturday will see Halloween
parties for the children at both
the church and center. 1t is
plain that Medfordites sti1l like
the good old country customs
One of our popular Medfordites,
Bob Averett, is now realizing his
rosy dream of really living in
the country raising Chinchilla
rabbits. And he deserves it. Bob
worked a total Of 81 years and
3 months for the Pullman Com
pany or from June 1922 to Sept
1858 before joining his brother
and his sister-in- Law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Averett of Action,
near Concord, and where he is
now realizing his dream of farm
ing and raising chinchillas Of
which he now has twenty-five,
according to a phone confab we
had with Bob this week. Bob
invites his old friends to visit
He says the chinchilla rabbit
meat is a delecacy fit for a king
and he has some for sale for
those who wish to try 1t. His
phone is Acton 34085 for those
who wish to call, especially his
many friends of the railroad
who read this
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Garnett re-
Gently enjoyed a motor trip vi
sitting relatives in Connecticut
asd New York enjoying the fall
foliage along the way. We're
sorry to hear that Mrs. Eleanor
Lambert was stricken i'll recent
ly at her home and will soon
enter a hospital. A former Shi-
Ioh teacher and mother of eight
children, Mrs. Lambert is
daughter OF the late Shiloh
early church workers, Deacon
and Mrs Wesley Robinson. We
hope for an early recovery.
As we enter into the coming
Election month of November, we
continue our brief series of opin-
ion that the community has
failed politically to organize
local non-partiSan political club
and Forum such as exists in
other Medford community
neighborhoods. A solutely no
nom partisan club has existed
here since the original w Med
fords Mems Club became abb
sorbed by the Center. The Center
obviously can not take part in
politics but ii can receive candi-
dates invited or sponsored by
other groups. The most pro-
missing political group at this
time locally is the partisan Plan
E. Group. There should be
Others, all Independent Of either
church or center. It was the
non existence OF such groups
which helped defeat the first
three men to run for Office from
this district. More about this
/ subiect later. Meanwhile phone
