Omong those who heard Pastor
preach last Sunday was Ma
jor and Mrs. Hamilton Kelley,
recently returned from the
Army of Occupation in Ger
many, and both former Shiloh
workers. Mrs. Kelley, the
former Harriet Taylor, taught
in the Sunday School. Major
Kelley participated in Shiloh
youth activity, the church
forum, and was a member of
the Shiloh Honor Club, base
ball champions of the now
discontinued Church League
which included Medford,

Newton.
The community was sadden-
ed by the news of the accident
suffered by Miss Eleanor Lam
bert, 20, who was struck by
a car near her home as she
returned from work November
3, last week. Eldest of eight
children and employed by the
John Hancock company,
Eleanor was preparing for her
wedding this week to Mr..
James Boyd of Maiden. She
was still at the Lawrence
Memorial hospital at this
writing. The Lambert children
recently suffered the tragic
loss of their mother. The ED
est son, Charles, is now with
the Airforce in Japan. All of
the young people have been
working hard to keep the
family and home together.
They deserve every encourage
ment.
The Shiloh Autumn Baza-
ar last Saturday at the Com
munity Center was judged a
fine success. All of the work
erS are to be commended. The
Prize Quilt was won by Mrs.
McKinniS of Wburn. Unique
in design, this rare quilt also
had the names of all women
Shiloh members woven into
and all had part in it's crea-
ton. Needless to say, it will,
be the only quilt of it's kinc
and will gain value with the
years. The Bazaar tables Of
food and bargains sold very
well.
In Medford High School,
sports, young Williams Tay-
lor, former Center Cadet, got
into his first varsity game at
left halfback against Haver-
hill. Johnny Johnson and Al

ture Mis- basketball and Al
Kountze Jr will captaoin the
track team. Buddy Lanford,
who played on the Mis- Soc
Ger team is also expected to
be heard from in other sports
before he graduates. Buddy's
sister, Betsey, is an MHS
Cheer Leader. The MIS 1854
55 season is probably the best
as far as local athlete parti-
cipation is concerned in a
variety of sports. This sports
variety may include the base
ball and tennis teams for an
all time record. In years past,
local boys mostly went into
one or two sports at the High
School. 1t is good to see local
lads branching out and dis
tributing their many talents
among a variety of sports. Sc
veral MTIS local Stuednts at
tended the recent Boston
University Open House. One OF
Medford's most outstand Blu
Alumni is Arthur Lew, federal
employe and former Blu. track
star and Terrier team cap
tain. A former Medfordite
Fred Franklin, was also a bril-
liant track captain for Bos-
ton U. Other ex-Medfordites
who starred for Blu included
Rolly Bernard, All-Collegiate
football center, whose family
lived on Jerome Street. An
other Jerome street family
was the Bill Robinsons. Their
son, Lloyd Robinson, was a
B, U. hockey and swimming
team star. So B. U. is not a
stranger to Medford athletes
