SouIlcIL ana elsewhere. This
year the Pulpit exchange was
between Shiloh Baptist and the
M a p wood Congregation
Church Of Maiden whose Pas
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Virgil v. Bral-
lin, a native of Virginia. made
many friends here last Sun
day with an inspiring sermon
of unity before an apprecia-
tive congregation and the mu-
sic Of the Junior Choir. Mean
while, the good people of Maiden
gave an equally fine reception
to Pastor Phillips and it was
noted the Maiden church pro-
gram carried a quotation from
the great American, DR.. Ralph
Buncne. Mr.. Paul Wray of the
Shiloh Mems Club along with
club members, Bill Phillips and
Sam Sherwood, expressed great
enthusiasm over the coming
plans of the Mems group which
eventually hopes to include
every man of progress in the
community in the type of
church brotherhood organiza-
ton which has long been needed
IN this and other communities.
Well schooled in organization,
most of the Mems club is and
eventually will include mostly
veterans of the Army and Navy
who keenly realize the import
ance of a religious center and
activity. Once organized ana
with a strong faith and pur-
pose, a local Brotherhood of
community men could make
many of our seemingly diff
cult problems prove a lot easier
For example, some of the men
have already undertaken some
of the church expenses voIun-
tarily and others are serving
in rotation as janitor. Other
volunteer work is quietly be-
ing done And on Washington's
Birthday. Feb. 22nd, next week
Monday morning, the Mems
Club with experienced cooks in
the expanding Shiloh Kitchen,
will present their annual Holt
day Breakfast from 6-1O A. NJ,
with everyone, in and out of
town, cordially invited. The
lucious menu includes a choice
OF ham or bacon and eggs, fish
cakes and beans, hash brown
potatoes, an assortment of fruit
juices. hot rolls, milk or coffee.
SO next week leave those break
fast dishes at home on the
shelf Come to Shiloh, sit down
and be served an early break
fast and start on your way
to erjoy the rest of the day.
You'll get super service, too.
Just ask for Navy Chief Paul
Wray, Nufsed. For tickets see
Mr.. Wray, Bill Phillips, Sam
Sherwood, or any club member.
The Shiloh Women, of course,
continue their great work which
up to now has exceeded the
enthusiasm of the men. A Wo-
mems Choir is in the process
of being organized which may
make the boastful men take a
back seat. The Women's Pastor
Guild president, Mrs. Dorothy
Kountze, was added to the com.
munity Sick List last week but
is expected to return soon to
join the Shiloh women in plan
ming many fine programs for
the year. Also added to our |
Shiloh Sick List is Mrs. Hen |
rietta Derry and Mrs. Annabelle |
Ellis, both at home. Two COM
munity citizens returned home
from the hospital with Mr.. Ell |
mer Kountze sr and Cornelius |
Finley Jr, both at home. In |
fact young master Finley has |
returned back to school. Speak

Trade some five years ago and
it wasn't long before he Or
ganized and began coaching
teams n basketball, baseball
and football just for the sheer
love of the sport. A few of
the teams he brought to Med
ford for games with local boys.
