weather permitting. If so, we
can be sure that the returning
picnic gathering will have plen-
ty of good times to relate.
Shiloh many years ago had
a woman pastor, according to
one of our readers from New
York. And last Sunday, a wom-
an of the ministry preached at
Shiloh in the person of Rev.
Virginia Kreyer, who comes
from the First Baptist Church
in-the Garden, of Garden City,
N. Y. Miss Kreyer prepared for
the ministry at Union Theo-
logical Seminary, New York,
and is now attending classes
at the Boston State Hospital
studying pastoral psychology.
The community sick list recent
ly added the names of Little
Butch Phillips, who was taken
to Children's Hospital; Mr.. Leo
Marie, who was rushed to
Cambridge City Hospital, and
James "sarg" Brooks at the
Vets Hospital. Everyone wishes
a rapid recovery for all those
i'll or confined. Mrs. Helen
Lightfoot and Mrs. Francis
Sheldon are doing fine volun-
teer work as Sick Committee
members. And, of course, Pastor
Phillips has visited the sick and
shut-ins faithfully. One reason
why Shiloh is steadily gaining
new members is due to the fact
that the church has shown it's
interest in the welfare of the
people of this community. This
is not always true of other
churches. The people who help
sustain and expand their own
community church are helping
themselves in the process. 1t
is for this reason that com
munity citizens show wisdom in
local church support and fl
nancial aid. Shiloh's doors are
always open to all.
Among recent visitors have
been Mr., and Mrs. Wallace
Moffitt from the Cape, recently
retired from their popular Cape
resort, Popponesett-in-the-Pines
which attracted many summer
visitors for years. And a Wis
ltor who came and went uui-
city was Capt, Ted Dick Tracy
Thompson, we'll known member
OF the Army Military Police.
Ted, a former MHS track star,
is the youngest son of the late
and beloved Rev. and Mrs. FL
mer E. Thompson of South
Medford.
The Boston Globe last month
featured the Medford Mystic
Lakes as choice spot for boat
ing, Ginning in with our cru
SADIE to interest more com
munity citizens in this fast
growing hobby. Medford is a
boating pioneer. The first Bay
: State ship was built in Med
ford. Riverside people are gen
orally boating people and this
is a riverside community, close
to the Lakes. In years to come,
local citizens will have various
kinds of boats. The initial cost,
says the Globe, is as low as
a TV set And its wedding
bells next month for another
former member of the 272nd
Battalion, when Wally Kountze
and Miss Alberta Yearwood of
Boston will be married in a
quiet August wedding, three
weeks from today Parents
are again reminded that the
city parks are now open for
youngsters. And two well known
and popular instructors, Mr..
and Mrs. James Sherwood, are
in charge of the local park
daily to help provide recrea-
ton failities for both youth
and adults.
