Alice Hayes, Pinochle; and Do
maid Bell, whist. We hope soon
to have a larger feature of
Center and Church news, with
appointed publicity writer's de-
livering the news direct each
and every week. We have re-
quested such a system for many
years. The Medford High School
news dispatch states fifty per-
cent of the 1853 June graduates
found jobs and that the outlook
for the 1854 June grads also
looks good. This should spur
all students to get on with the
books. Around a dozen local
students and guests attended
the Mis- Senior Prom, quite a
contrast to the small number
who attended years ago. Good
to see our local students mix
ing in greater numbers in
school class activity. It's a sure
sign of progress. The U. S. De-
partment of Internal Revenue
announces it will freely help
Medford people file income tax

courteous workers in room 207,

A. M. to 4 P. M, helping every
one complete their tax forms
who request it. Mark this date
on your calendar and file your
tax early. The return is due
March 18th. This is federal
