lowship, to add to the many
people of the community who
appreciate the fact that Shiloh
is the church best serving this
community, as it has now for
over so years. Among those in
the capacity congregation to wish
Shiloh off to a successful New
Year were former Pastor, the
Rev. Mr. Wynn of Texas, and
real surprise visitor, the highly
esteemed Dean of Newton Theo-
logical School, who foresaw even
gre ater achievement in our
church. Many fine programs are
being planned, among them an
old fashioned Tie and Apron
Party next month. We note in a
general way that many of Shiloh's
members or regular visitors have
the proud distinction of having
been married so years, or near
so years and even beyond that,
a great tribute to the lasting in
fiuence of the church. For eX-
ample, Deacon and Mrs. Whit
field Coleman observed their Sind
Anniversary on Christmas, and
Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Wilkerson
observed their 58th anniversary
just 48 hours after New Years
Day. We'd like to hear from
other Golden Welded couples.
Miss Ida Lewis, sister of Mr.. and
Mrs. Derry was rendered sur
prise birthday party January 3,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Nc
Laughlin of SO Jerome st. The
popular young couple, along with
Helen Munsy and other guests
having January birthdays, helped
to make it a most enjoyable eve
ming with all the trimmings,
many fine gifts and even
double-deck birthday cake. Mr..
and Mrs. Leo Barros helped cele-
brate their New Year by moving
into their lovely recently pur-
chased home at "a Getting ST.,
Medford, which is off Auburn
near the Parkway and new mar
ket. We note Leo has again won
well deserved commendation for
his fine work as a teacher and
coach at Don Bosceo Trade, East
Boston. And needless to say, he
has also done great work at the
local Center, too.
- ADULT MITE
The start of the new 1853 Adult
Game Nights will begin with the
New Year opener-January 16-
next Friday opening at the Com
munity Center. All those who
missed the previous 1852 series
are thereby given another chance.
Among those expected are the
1852 and first crowned tourna-
ment champions, Mrs. Caroline
Clayton, Mrs. Alice Hayes, and
MIR. Edward Buddy" Clayton,
champions of Canasta, Pino0hle,
and Whist respectively. There
is no. taking away their crowns
for 1852. The main question now
is who will be the champions of
1858? These games are played
for fun, just as at home, but in
all the years of community card
playing the Adult Mites are the
first to have established real
community champions, sin e
competition is open to all. Gamb-
ling is not allowed, no money is
involved. There are prizes which
are graciously donated by the
committee and friends. And, in
cidentally, if anyone wants to
bake a cake or give any kind
of a prize it will be welcome.
So far the hard work and dona-
tions have fallen upon a few, in
cluding Mr.. and Mrs. Bill Mat
thews, Mrs. Arlene Booker, Mrs.
Norma Paris, Mrs. Kay Smith,
MI. and Mrs. Frank Hazel, Mrs.
Lovelace, Mrs. Green, Mr.. and
Mrs. Barros, and others who de-
serve worlds of praise. It's all for
aiding community adult recrea-
ton and if you wish to serve in
any capacity, or to donate prizes,
please contact any committee
member or volunteer named.
