CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN
MEDFORD
(By Bliss Heine
On the local field last Saturday
before a large crowd, Klamath Falls
Hi met a slashing defeat by Medford
Hi football team to the tune o f 60
to 6. The heavy Klamath team is the
first and only team so far this sea
son to cross Medford’s goal line. The
Klamath score was made in the early
. part o f the game which evidently
work the Medford boys up as they
got right in and worked harder
after that. Towards the last of the
game Cooksey made a long end run
in which he hurt his neck when
downed.
All in all, it was a hard
fought game betwee ntwo good teams
This game showed up for the first
time the strong resistant ability of
the Medford team as time and time
again the heavy Klamath line was
held on line plunges.
Nearly 700 people from all parts
o f the valley attended the Hallowe’en
masquarade ball given last Saturday
night by Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Walker
in their hall i nthe Medford building
The majority ofthose in attendance
were in georgous costumes. Splendid
music was furnished by Dickey’s 6-
piece orchestra.
The Modern Woodmen o f America
gave a very enjoyable Hard-Time
Hallowe’en party in their hall over

nesday evening o f last week in which
several mirth provoking contests
were held. The feature o f the even
ing was a Kangaroo Kourt in which
those who didn’t look like a hard
time were rounded up, tried and
fined. Representatives from the dif
ferent newspapers were among those
who were tried and fined, but were
unable to find out if the fines were
to be used to buy the old judge some
clothe» as he was so hard up he only
had his underwear on. The party end
ed with refreshments and dancing.
The Medford Elks staged a very
successful Hallowe’en party in their

Title o f Sunday school lesson ‘The
Vine and the Branches,” John 15.
This lesson is so important that you
can not afford to miss it. Try to be
in your place on time with your own
Bible with an open mind, with a
prepared lesson and with an offering
for missionary work.
In the morning service the pastor
will preach on the subject: “ Elements

After the young people's services
at 6:30 in the evening the pastor will
preach the sermon announced for

Applied in the Parables.”
If you are interested in seeing the
church in Central Point do the work
that needs to be done here, we hope
you will attend church at one o f the
Central Point churches. The church
here must succeed if the local con
ditions are met. Maybe you can help
them succeed.

Y ou n g People o f Christian Church o f
M ed fo rd Hold Party Here.
One o f teh most successful o f the
Christian Endeavor society, on Thur
sday evening, October 28. This was
many parties o f the young people of
the First Christian Church o f Med
ford was given by the Loyal Workers
class of the Bible School and the
in the nature of a Hallowe’en party
at the country home o f Mr. and Mrs.
Arnold Bohuert, near Central Point.
The entire side yard was enclosed
as a stocade with tall corn stalks and
no one was allowed to enter the go-
ounds or house except at the will of
the receiving committee. Each guest
was taken alone on a mysterious
route— often hair-raising— until fi
nally ushered into the house, there to
be welcomed by other members o f
the committee. The grounds were
beautifully decorated and were light
ed with Jack-o-Lanterns; all sorts of
spooky things greeted one on every
side.
The house decorations were also
elaborate— Hallowe’en colors being
used n all the rooms; at every turn
one met with skeletons, black cats
and witches. The softened lights gave
a wierd aspect to the entire house
and many entered with fear and
trembling.
Games were played in the yard
the first half o f the evening and were
most amusing. Later, old time Hall
owe’en games were played in the
house, many o f them in a large up
stairs room running the entire length
o f the house— an ideal place for such
things. Fortunes were told by an old
witch and later each had to read his
fortune to the assembled crowd.
Refreshments o f doughnuts, cider
and pop corn balls were served at a
late hour.
The committee in charge o f the
party consisted o f M. E. Olsin, chair
man, Mrs. Clayborn Konkel, Miss
Oletha Currier, Mrs. Lee Smith,
Arnold Bohnert and Charles Smith.
About forty-five guests enjoyed the
hospitality o f Mr. and Mrs. Bohnert
during the evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bowen of Ash
land were out o f town guests.

the Central Point Christian church

noon at the home o f Mrs. Victor

Creed Bound to Make
for Good Citizenship
The following creed of good citizen
ship taken from a bulletin of the city
of Wilmington, Del., might well be
adopted by every one:
“ I believe In the trinity of cleanli
ness-beauty, health and safety. For
I know that refuse and rubbish piles
mar the beauty of my home and city ;
that they are the breeding place of
flies and vermin; that, as potential
starting points of fire, they menace
my property and threaten my family
with death—both my own and my
neighbor’s.
“Therefore: I am a good neighbor.
I take pride In m.v home, my yard,
ray alley and my street. I keep my
premises pslnted. my lawn trimmed
and green. The passerby on the side
walk pauses to gaze at my brilllant-
hued porch boxes and flower beds.
“I am prond of the cleanliness of
my home—both Inside and out There
are no Junk piles In my alley or yard,
no rubbish plies In my basement or at
tic. I can look straight In the eye—
any day—painter or electrician. Are
warden or health Inspector—and
smile.
“ But I am prouder still of Wilming
ton because It Is known far and wide
as a city both beautiful and clean. I
am a good citizen!"
Just substitute your home town for
.Wilmington, and live according to the
creed.

YOU!
If you are living anyplace in Jack-
son county we want you to read the
