Mission Work On Oberlin Road By Former Africa Missionary
The postponed meeting of the Women's Society of the East Oberlin Community was held last Wednesday. Rev. Meacham, a former Africa missionary now in Oberlin, spoke about his 26 years in the field and his work in Africa and the coach fight there. He also managed the operations.

Phillies Aim for Fifth in National League Race
Phillies manager Ben Chapman eyes a fifth-place finish in the 1947 National League standings as he reshapes a club once mired in eighth. He targets improved infield depth with Skeeter Newsome aging and signals possible moves for Stan Rojek or Eddie Miller, while relying on veterans McCormick and Tabor at first and third. Pitching backs him with Verban at second and a mix of rookies LaPointe and Mutle in the infield, with Ennis, Wryrosiek, and Northey or Adams to patrol the outfield.
