new club organizations not in

to aid in the social and business
growth of the community is the
newly formed w. Medford Com.

Gently there was no exclusive

even the Community Club hav-
ing gone coed in recent years
Speaking with Mr.. Browning on
his report we had to admit there
is no civic or political education
club n the community although
in past years We had the Mems
Club and w. Medford Council
among other pioneers, whose ex-
pressed purpose as primarily
to devote full time toward civic
and political development Of the
community with members a
popular sight at City Hall dur
ing any week. At the present
time we have no civic cradle
here in which to develop a HUI
Ian Jack. Adam Powell, Herb
Jackson, or Dawson. There's lots
more room here for community
organization. But its still a great
town and we are all working to-
ward success. Please mail or
phone your news before Monday
mornings.
