Sunday, March 30, was an important c.te
for First Presbyterian church in Medford, for on
that day the church dedicated a substantial new
addition to the church edifice, an addition made
necessary by the growth of the congregation in
recent years.
Members and friends of the church gathered
at 10:15 a.m. last Sunday for the dedication,

Weeks of preparation preceded the actual dedi

cleaning of the newly completed addition. Shown
