The Shiloh Pastors Guild
1854 and annual Lawn Party
held July 3, last Saturday at
the Parsonage, drew a perfect
sunny day and good crowd
of patrons to enjoy the festi-
vities which included a Doll
Carriage Parade, Food Sale,
and Bean Supper. Navy vet Jim
Sherwood was on hand again
to serve delicious hot ham
burgers and franks from the
outdoor barbecue. The baked
beans, cakes, cookies and other
goodies were from the ovens of
the skilled women of the COM
munity and they provided real
good eating, too. Walt Isaacs
provided the amplif1er for the
music and a series of young
people filled in as disc jockies.

the day. In fact, everybody
including. the Pastor. And all
enjoyed a good time The re-
porter met a little German girl
from Hamburg, and she said
she had never had such a good
time. Even so, next years Guild
Party is going to be even bigger
and better. Perhaps the little
German girl and other youngs-
tiers of her group might be in
duced to enjoy the Salem Will
lows Picnic next week. Demo-
cracy works two ways. Little

Pastor Guild Lawn Party
parade. Paula Latham won Sc
cond prize, Andrea Warren won
third and Leitha Carey won
fourth prize. In fact, all six
OF the contestants won awards.
Pastcc Phillips last SIcday
morning preached THE Golden
Age" sermon in honor OF thost
loyal church Elders who have
contributed so much so long a
time to this church and COM
munity. 1t was a timely sermon
and one much deserved by all
community elders. Those who
are affiliated with Shiloh were
presented tokens of high es-
TEEN. Golden Ayers Mrs. Eliza
beth Coleman. Mrs. Margaret
Wright, Miss Estelle Coleman,
Mrs. Lucinda Toomy, and Mrs.
Ella Smith, all received baskets
of flowers presented by mem
bers of the Shiloh faculty. A
lapel Cross was presented Gold
en- Ager, Deacon Whitfield
Coleman. Mrs. Mary Barnes and
Mr.. Thomas Stokes received
Right Hand of Fellowship dur
ing the service. Did you ever
wonder about the people who
have stuck with a church
through all the years and all
the ups and downs? Such faith
is what the Bible teaches. With
out such people there would be
no church. The United College
fund collection of fifty one dol
lars was creditable, consider
ing the many other community
fund drives at the time. Local
citizens have been contributing
to both church and center.
Over the holiday, many out
of town people visited Medford
and our Mystic Lakes. There
is also a noticeable increase in
stay home outdoor parties
among local residents who are
learning the secrets of relaxing
at home. This is remindful OF
the olden days. The only big
outings then were Canobie Lake
and Salem Willows And next
week is Salem willows Day.
Don't forget to buy your tickets
early. We expect Medford to
again take over the bowling
area. And this year there
should be more activity on the
Salem tennis courts. Recent vi
citors included Mr.. and Mrs.
Matt Darlington and family
from Lynn. Matt was one of
Malden's greatest athletes.
