morning service which con-
GUIDED with the baptismS of
four new Shiloh members: Mrs.
Hettie D. Sherwood, wife of

and Medford school teacher

talents will both give to and
receive much comfort from the
church, which is the beacon of
strength and faith in a COM
munity. We note that last Sun
Gays Shiloh program added its
congratulations and blessings
to Medford'S newlyweds, Mr..

former lone Dugger,) A former
teacher and Choir director at
Shiloh, Mrs. Vargas had many
friends in the church and com
munity as was so evident at
the wedding and reception last
week. The photographers
spoke with were greatly i'm
pressed by the calibre of peo-
pie from this community and
in their public attire and dig
nifty of manner and conduct
which was of the very best,
Medfordites had every reason
to be proud of themselves and
their community and, with a
strong church in the center,
we shall continue to meet pro-
gress.
The 1854 Spring Fashion
Show, Church Bazaar and Food
Sale sponsored by the Shiloh
Mission group, Mrs. Bessie

be a huge success with a capa-
city crowd March IS at the
Center in spite of the storm.
In answer as to who won
prizes, the answer was, almost
everyone. The Fashion Show of
eXsuiSite design was conducted
by Mrs. Alyce ColSon with adult
and junior models displaying
the latest fashions in sports
wear, business styles, formal
evening gowns and junior size
garments, all well received and
applauded by the capacity
crowd. The variety of Bazaar
and Food Sale prizes were large
ly contributed from most of
the leading merchants of the
city who gladly donated for
the cause. w. Medford Square

community contributed nearly
100 percent. Among businesses
outside of the city who con-
tributed was the Bouquet Flower
Garden shop in Arlington. Con-
sequently the prizes ranged
from choice meats and poul-
try, through electrical appli-
ances, automobile tires, kitchen
ware, clothing candy, perfumes,
and even a complete New Eng
land dinner. In the final raff1es
almost everyone received a
prize who wanted one. 1t is
