W. MEDFORD, Mass., June 11—Children's Day was fittingly observed at Shiloh last Sunday with a special sermon by Pastor Bailey lauding the Christian characteristics of young people before they receive prejudices from parents. The annual presentation of potted flowers with the graduation of kindergarten and elementary grade students was carried on by Supt. Pinkston. Among the interesting program features was a song by little Elaine Fisher, accompanied by her little brother Curtis and Mrs. Arline Fisher at the piano.

City Hall News Alderman Dello Russo of South Medford last week completed his objective in procuring the old Tufts School for a recreation center in his district. This is the two-story building now housing a nursery and classes in arts and crafts which allegedly was headed for this community. It has been named for an Italian-American war hero. The Parent-Teacher organization will iron out many of the school problems which some of us tried to do as individuals. Moreover, there are some good people on the Medford School Committee, including Mrs. Pearl Larson and Mrs. Margaret Hanson. Textbooks will be closely watched from now on and a colored teacher is slated to work here next fall. So let's not get too excited. We are making progress. To really see and understand the workings of your city government any person 10 years or over is invited to enjoy a free June 28 Tour of the Medford municipal buildings as guest of the Mayor and City Hall officials.
