A place for the Crusaders to drill
Many years ago, so toe story goes, there used to be signs on Boston Common saying "Dogs and Sailors Keep off the Grass"
That story may or may not be true, but it is a fact that the Crusaders have a difficult time in Wilmington to find a place to drill. Sometimes there is permission to use a grassy strip of land, and sometimes there isn't. Neighbors object to the noise of trumpets and the beat of drums. Public grounds have periods in which they are set asidefor new grass to grow.
The problem was illustrated in two ways, Monday night.
The Selectmen, in their meeting, heard a plea from George Hooper that the Crusaders be allowed to use the football field, behind the High School for drilling purposes. This without having to pay custodial fees.
The selectmen were unhappy. The School Committee had charge, they said. It was not in their power to give permission. How about us- ing the Town Park?
The Town Park, it turned out, was also being unaccesible. But, Hooper said, there were people who likedto stop their cars and watch and hear the Crusaders at drill, when they could use the park.
Thennpthe selectmen began to explore, to see if some way was available, to help the Crusaders, and if funds could be raised, legal- ly, by the town, to help the Crusaders on their trip to Prince Edward Island.
There were no paths open. But somehow, the selectmen resolved collectively, we are going to do something.
Meanwhile, on Hopkins Street, Monday night, there was a Bible Class, and across the street the Crusaders were drilling in the school parking lot. Mrs Diane Fielding, at whose home the Bible class was being held, wrote about

it and the letter arrived at the Town Crier office Tuesday.
Dear Larz: Monday evening we had - as we
have had for the past 18 months, a Bible class, at my borne.
Due to an unfortunate mis- understanding, the Crusaders were asked to leave the parking lot, in the school across the street, the Shawsheen School..
We did not know that the Crusaders could only drill on the parking lot, and only later did we find out that the Crusaders are not allowed to march on the grass.
Perhaps this could be turned to a mutual advantage, if all the youth leaders in town and others in- terested in helping youth get ahead could get together. Maybe we can come up with a workable solution to our mutual problems
If Tewksbury can come up with a Youth Center there is no reason why we in Wilmington cannot do the same. We have hundreds' of young people with no place to go, and I wonder how many really care about them.
Maybe they have some ideas, and if so we should get together and discuss them. If anyone is in- terested, let's all get together. '
Its rotten when a group as good as our Crusaders have no place to call their own and also lack funds to represent Wilmington, in that trip to Canada. They put their hearts into their
practice. I can testify to that. Somehow I would like to see for
the young people an official building, and get something going, collectively, before fall.
Sincerely Diane Fielding

Council for Aging has a Showdown
But the count is still the same
The Council for the Aging is Wilmington's way of keeping things going for the Senior Citizens. Other than at Deming Way it has charge of affairs for the senior citizens, and of programs for the elderly. The Council was organized a couple of years ago when difficulties arose regarding distribution of funds in the budget, which was being shared with another department in town.
The Counsil for the Aging has an unused store, at Wilmington Plaza, which is used as a social place for senior citizens. Nina Reynolds of Cunningham Street has for the last couple of years been busy running the Drop in Center, as it is called, and taking of other activities. Her pay during that time has been $2.75 an hour, on a 30 hour week.
The Council has been meeting bi- monthly, on Mondays, and atten- dance has been good, averaging nine members. Recently there was a discussion about raising the pay of Nina Reynolds.
In a meeting of a few weeks ago the Council had voted to hire an Kxecutive Director, for a 15 to 20 hour job each week; a person educated in human services, and id social services. Advertisements had been made out for this posi- tion, and the Town Manager, as Chief Fiscal Officer of the town, notified.
The meeting of July 7 brought a letter from Mrs. Reynolds. Mr. Gillis and Mr. Miceli. of the Board of Selectmen were present. The letter from Mrs. Reynolds said in effect that she would like to be paid $3.50 an hour and have her work week be 35 hours, (so that she could be considered a full time employee).
It added that if she could noe come to an agreement with the Council on Aging in the July 7 meeting in regard to salary and negotiations "it will become necessary to consider my services as terminated."
Mr. Gillis and Mr. Miceli asked the Council to consider a 35 hour week job for Mrs. Reynolds.
The Council discussed the letter from Mrs. Reynolds, in open ses- sion, and in the same open session Mrs. Reynolds said that she would work until July U.\
Then in Executive Session the Council voted a pay increase to $3.25. but no increase in the number of hours. Compensatory time off would be allowed, for ex- tra time worked.
present, and a few other interested persons, making a total of about 32. They listened to the selectmen vote the new board for the Cou cil on Aging. Jo O'Neil had resigned i the selectmen did not know it). Jim Shine was elected to take her place. Arthur Daniels of Salem Street went in, in place of Joe Bulger Ed Nash resigned.
As the selectmen voted, the
NINA PRESENTS HER ARGUMENTS: At the selectmen's 'hear- ing' Monday evening.
No announcement seems to have been made.
Monday morning (July 14) Hazel Backman, Abbie McQuaid and Jo O'Neil were at the Drop in Center at 10 a.m. to open it. The locks had been changed. The Council does not seem to have been told of this.
Mrs Reynolds was present and Mrs. O'Neil is said to have asked for the keys. She felt that Mrs. Reynolds had resigned, according to her letter. Mrs. Reynolds is said to have replied that "it" (the Drop in Center) did not belong to the Council for the Aging.
The denouncement, such as it was. Monday night, was almost a flat tire.
There were 27 Senior Citizens
Council consisted of Hazel Backman. Grace Bourbeau, George Boylen ,Sr.. Bill Belbin, Sheldon Maga. Abbie McQuaid, Arthur Daniels. Jim Shine. Gladys Babine. Nema Miller and Irving Storms.
Mrs. Reynolds was allowed to present her case, in a session in the Town Hell. The selectmen heard her without comment.
Selectman Miceli. meanwhile, had been figuring out if there was any relative change in voting strength, as a result of naming a new council. He came to the con- clusion that there was none.
"The count is still the same," he told his fellow selectmen.

The ceose and desist order - Chapter II
A week ago the Town Manager issued a cease and desist order, relative to gravel operations said to be taking place along Aldrich
Road. Gravel, it was said, was be- ing trucked out of town.
The Wilmington police ran into difficulties, because apparently the town bylaw is now in conflict with a new version of the state law on gravel removal The state law allows gravel to be removed from any authorized Real Estate development, as long as there are no excavations below the authoriz- ed grades.
The Town Manager. Monday
night asked that the selectmen authorize him to take such legal steps as he felt necessary, to im- plement the town's position re: removal of gravel out of town. This was voted.
Meanwhile there are reports given to the selectmen that the gravel operations in question have turned into an "intown" operation. The gravel being removed, so the
story goes, is taken to a commer- cial gravel operator, and dumped there. Then it is loaded onto another truck, and sent out of town.
The police are apparently close- ly watching the operation.

Joanne Myers has problems Two days of hair
Joanne M. Myers is the principal of the Shawsheen School, in Wilmington. It is a new 26 room building, accommodating about "700 youngsters. She has be3n principal there since it opened, five years ago, and during the previous year she held down a sort of dual position, preparing the school for its open- ing and supervising elasses in other Wilmington schools.
Miss Myers has been 16 years in the Wilmington Schools. She started in the High School, tem- porarily, and then was assigned to the Glen Road School, .which was just opening. Joanne taught third and fourth grade in that school for five years.
She then became the Building Principal of the Swain School, where she taught the fourth grade, and had administrative respon- sibilities for a twelve room school. She taught and ran the Swain School for two years.
Nine years ago Joanne became the principal of the Wildwood School The Wildwood School is a fourteen room building, in which the principal is a full time ad- ministrator.
For three years she was the prin- cipal of the Wildwood School, and then another school was being erected - the Shawsheen. •
Joanne was transferred to an of- fice in the Center School, from which she supervised a number of
principal'there ever since. From the viewpoint of this paper
there has been no difficulty. The Town Crier has covered events in the Shawsheen School from time to time Everything seemed to be, as the saying goes, roses.
It was about the last of May that a slight cloud appeared on the horizon. Miss Myers, after having been the principal for five years, was told that the School Com- mittee was looking into the ad- ministration of the Shawsheen School.
Then on the last day of school, she received notice that she was being dismissed as a principal.
Of course it was a shocker. Joanne Myers has enauired, and
classes in other schools. At the same time she worked in getting the new Shawsheen School ready to accept its pupils.
When the new school opened, she was its principal. She has been the

Regional Solid Waste Disposal
The Wilmington selectmen, Monday asthorized \the Town Manager to write a letter saying
Yes. we are interested," to a study about the possibilities of Regional Solid Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery.
The selectmen were referring to a study made by the Assistant Town Manager, Peter Holzmeister. with a report.
There are 39 towns in the western and northern euburbs of Boston which have been invited to participate. The initiative comes from the Minute-Man Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board, consisting of towns near Concord. Arthur D. Little was contracted to do a study toward regionalization in solid waste.
Arthtir D. Little said that the towns involved did not have suf- ficient refuse tonnage to warrant expenditure for a resource recovery plant. The study should be expanded to include other towns.
the Board contacted the New- ton Waltham Regional Refuse Disposal District, and other towns, and has extended the invitation to come together to discuss the needs of the region.
The state is willing to work through the Office of Environmen- tal Affairs. Holzmeister reports. ia) The state receives from the towns an invitation to proceed, (b) the communities that are ten- tatively committed must have suf- ficient tonnage - 600 to 700 tons a day of refuse; and (c) the com- munities must have a high priority waste disposal problem.
the state, based on firm com- mittments from the several towns and cities, will (1) locate a site in the region which will accept the resource recovery facility, and (2) the towns will negotiate with a contractor to biild and operate the facility.
The towns will individually con- tract with the operator of the facility to deliver a certain ton- nage of refuse each day or each week to a specified location along with the paying of a certain amount of money. If the town can- not deliver the agreed upon ton- nage it will pay an amount of money in lieu of the refuse. There will be no new layer of government created. Each individual municipality will have a three par- ty contractural agreement between the municipality, the State and the contractor.
Holzmeister recommended acceptance of a letter which does not bind the Town of Wilmington into participating in the district, but does demonstrate interest.
At some future date the organizers can ask for a small financial committment to help defray costs of postage, pringint, etc.
The costs associated with secur- ing a site, reviewing contract proposals, and planning a facility should be covered by a Federal grant from the EPA or $100,000 and a 198.600 grant from the State Office of Environmental Affairs,
there will be no question of com- mittment within a year, but a per- son should be designated to repre- sent Wilmington on the Regional Planning Board Holzmeister

hopes that that person will be an elected official of Wilmington.
Even with sufficient interest, Holzmeister does not foresee that the Solid Waste Disposal system would be ready within five years
Attend Depression Glass Convention
A depression glass convention wouldn't mean much to some, but anyone who has ever attended a flea market will certainly unders- tand the importance of the event to involved dealers.
Mrs. Esther Jackson and son Kenny Hapgood of High St., Wilmington spent the Fourth-of- July weekend in Washington DC attending the National Depression Glass Convention and the recent report was that the annual event is decidedly worth the trip.
Esther and Kenny, stopping with friends in Baltimore, set up their depression glass (usually blue) display at the convention for two days: attended a thrilling dinner- dance and did the usual tourist sw- ing around the capitol.
Among the many highlights of the weekend, according to Mrs. Jackson was the opportunity to meet the authors of several books on one of her favorite subjects - old glass. Hazel Marie Weatherman of Missouri, authoress of "Colored Glassware of the Depression Era." presented herself at Mrs. Jackson's table and purchased two items which she plans to have photographed for the upcoming
issue of "price Trends." Oddly enough, the pink glass razor stropper (approximately two in- ches square, and still in its original box) was purchased by Mrs. Jackson at the Route 38 Flea Market at the Wilmington Tewksbury line and caught Mrs. Weatherman's eye. The other item sold to her was an Miss America hot cake dish which came into Mrs. Jackson's posses- sion at the yard sale held several
weeks by Mrs. Carolyn Rogers of 5 High St.. Wilmington.

Baxters visited South Dakota Pineridge Reservation in North
Dakota has been making headlines again. This brings back memories to Mrs. Betty Baxter of the Tewksbury-Wilmington Emblem Club who had taken a cross- country trip in the summer of 1973.
After going through the Badlands. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter visited the Visitor's Center at Cedar Pass. The center was run by the Oglala-Sioux- tribe and a history was given there. "The chief of the Oglala tribe broke reservation with his band and was making his way to his friend (chief of the Sioux), when captured by the cavalry. The next morning when rounding up the Oglala. a shot was fired. No one knows ex- actly who fired the shot, but because of this, most of the In- dians and 17 soldiers were killed." This was the massacre of Wounded Knee.
In 1973. the country was having trouble with the Indians at Wound- ed Knee and therefore, this couple did not know whether they should continue on through the reserva- tion.
Since the center was run by the Oglala-Sious. they queried the ranger about visiting an individual reservation. She answered that it would be possible and asked who the person was. for she could possible direct them to the house.
For the background of this story.

,back to the fall of 1070 when felton. one of the ladies
of the Tewksbury-Wilmington Kmblem Club, brought in a brochure on the Save the Children Federation This explained spon- sorship of either an Indian child or Applachian. the club voted for the Indian child and the SCF provided them with Patricia Plenty Arrows from the Pineridge Indian Reser- vation who was 11 at the time. She was orphaned at four and taken by her mother's half sister who had seven children of her own.
The ranger, after listening to this short explanation directed the couple to the post office in the town of Allen, and there inquired about Patricia.
The day was 115 degrees under hazy skies and the area was very desolate. The trail was heading straight for Wounded Knee but they came to a fork in the road and Allen was in the opposite direction from Wounded Knee.
The couple was travelling in a Winnie Minnie camper and of course was very conspicuouc, but the stares and looks they received made them feel even more leary in the strange territory. Finally they reached Allen around two o'clock and found the post office. It was an old-fashioned country store. The post office, in one corner and groceries in another with gas pumps out in front.
The story of Patricia was repeated to the woman running the store Her answer was that there were several Planty Arrows in the village on the hill above the store. She asked a little Indian girl who had come into the store for direc- tions
When they turned into the village, it was set up like a new development in a circle formation, and knowing to look on the west side was a lot easier to find the house than by the first description given.
The homes were built in the same manner as out homes for the elderly - one story structures. Following only one inquiry, the found the house and finally met Patricia Plenty Arrows. She was found to be an attractive, modern, 13-year-old. dressed in maroon jeans and matching shirt; barefoot with dark flowing shoulder-length. She worn the modern round eyed glasses and a wide strapped wrist watch. Her teeth were in excellent condition and everything about her showed care. The couple spent a half hour with her and learned that she attended school on the reserva- tion and enjoyed it. The winters there were so cold that the heat of the day seemed even greater. They took pictures of Patricia and brought them back to the club along with the report that because of the club sponsorship, this young lady was most certainly being cared for.
A good lesson was also learned by the couple in this story. Fear is only brought on by a figment of th3 imagination and not to let their ap- prehensions run wild when in similar circumstances - just let nature take its course, for as in this case, on being face to face with people, it is no different than being with the person living next door

12 Building Commissioners are not happy
D —i
t£. W
a U z
o
The new status of the office which used to be called the Building Inspector's was described in the July 10 Town Crier.
The former town officials are now a part of the Department of Community Affairs. The are also a part of the Delartment of Public Safety, which was their former af- filiation.
Fred Lamson, Massachusetts Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety learned Tuesday, in Wilmington, that the Building Commissioners are not happy with the DCA
Mr. Lamson. who is a former State Senator, met with Building Commissioners from nine towns and the state Building Inspector, Pat Pizzano of Methuen. The meeting was in the Wilmington Public Library.
There seems to be too many con- ferences at the DCA. to listen to what the Commissioners told Lam-
son. There were too many times, they said, when they could not reach the official theh were seek- ing by telephone because of con- ferences.
If not a conference, there was
some other reason. Questions relative to the Department of Public Safety didn't have that kind of trouble. Communications, Mr. Lamson was told, was the keynote.

Michelson fined $2000 Robert P. Michelson, former
MIX" employee, and former town official of Wilmington has been fin- ed $200 in the Federal Court in Boston, by Judge Walter J. Skinner.
Michelson was one of three engineers who were tried, some weeks ago on charges of extortion. Mason Condon, after conviction in June, committed suicide in court by shooting himself.
henry J. Lally pled guilty to a charge of committing consipracy of extortion from contractors and for filing false and fradulent in- come tax reports. He was sentenc- ed to 15 months in prison.
Michelson entered a guilty plea to a count of consipracy to commit larceny, and was fined $2000. He was given a suspended two-year sentence, and placed on probation for two years.
Assistant US Attorney Edward Lee said that Michelson had received about $30.0%0 between 1969 and 1974. but that he had a minor role in the conspiracy.

Last week the Town Crier reported a difficulty for the town truck that sprays, in the evening, for mosquitoes. Youngsters, rock throwing youngsters, were hampering progress on Birchwood Road, was the report.
There are several things which the Town Crier can comment on, in that report.
1. It was not on Birchwood. it was on Spruce wood
2. The difficulty came, not from youngsters, but from two young men. about 23 years old. The two men had been drinking grape juice, or something like that, and took a resentment to the spraying. One is a graduate student of biology, and they decided the spray would be killing birds. Therefore they stood in front of the spray truck, to stop it.
3. No one can eay who threw rocks. The state police arrested the two young men. and they aipeared in Woburn Court Friday morning.
4. George Boylen. Wilmington selectman and an authority on poisons at MIT says the spray combination used in Wilmington will not hurt birds.
5. Seventeen young people, by actual count, presented themselves at the Town Crier of- fice, to announce that they had not been harrassing the anto-mosquito truck Some were sent to the Town Crier office by their mothers, and some arrived by their own volition.

Cable TV increase approved Wilmington's selectmen,' Mon-
day night approved a request by Colonial Television to decrease the area that firm is to serve in Wilmington, and to increase the charges against individual households. The vote was only after a lot of discussion.
Colonial TV was given a franchise three or four years ago which included all of Wilmington. The per household rate was to be $5 a month, and there were to be
LETTERS Dear Mr. Neilson:
Recently the town of Wilmington reconstructed a segment of the Middlesex Canal (under the new route 129 bridge). In which half a million dollars was spent.
Since so much time and effort, was put into it. we think that some sort of dedication plaque should be installed near the restored section of the canal, telling what the canal stood for.
Sincerely yours, Chris Romanski,
Billy Wallace Larz:
The Thursday. July 10 game scheduled to be played betwjen the Pony League Wilmington Wildcats and North Reading Red Sox was postponed because of rain and as we have only one field to play on, we have to play on a neutral field, which was Reading on July 16. The reason for this is, all regular season games have to be played off before July 19, as the league playoffs begin on July 21.
We have three leagues playing on the WHS field each week, the Senior Little League, the Pony League and the Northeast League- Therefore the field is being used every night of the week and Satur- day, both morning and afternoon. This is the reason we have to play our home games away: we are fighting for a playoff spot, and we have to give up a i;ome game.
If we have three leagues going on in the town, it means we have about 150 boys from the ages of 13 through 18 who want to play baseball and these boys are the future WHS baseball players.
The question is, when are the powers that be in this town going to fix up the other fields?
The High School field is the worst field in the traveling leagues: it is now in such poor shape that someone is going to be injures. Is this what the powers that be are waiting for? The in- field has a two to three inch drop- off so when a hard hit ball comes off the grass, how can the infielder play that ball? There are tire tracks in the outfield and remember this is the same field the High School team plays on.
Please, won't someone help us before one of our boys gets hurt?

services, such as the High School and Town Hall, so that subscribers could participate in events in those buildings.
George Boylen and James Banda were against the town voting any franchise at that time. '
Monday night the same two men were still against giving a franchise.
George Duffy, who is in charge of the Colonial Television, has won a decrease in area, and an increase in rates in Billerica. He was ask- ing for a monthly rate of $7.50.
Banda held that Duffy was reducing the area by 50%. and this was an injustice to residents who would be out of the area to be serv- ed r*,
Tom O'Connors of Chestnut Street, who seems to have one of the 74 homes served by the com- pany spoke against the service. He has a portable color TV and said there was more "junk" on top of the set to bring it into line for

Boylen spoke about only 76 homes, in four years of franchised service. "V."
Duffy said that he had to get 84% of the homes, and was having dif- ficulty in getting 50%. He has six years, he said, from the state.

A water main to Cook's Hill

o
Cook's Hill is the remains of an old volcano, in South Wilmington, and may be best located by new- comers by saying thatrit is across from the Marion Murphy Real Kstate office on South Main Street. The volcano was ground down by
the glacial ages and is now only a little over a hundred feet above the ground.
The rock within the hill consists of granite and schist, and various

volcanic rocks, varying in hardness so that attempts to drill are expensive and non-conclusive. Drills "turn" in the rocks, and seek the less dense rocks in the area, and are consequently of no use as a tool.
fifteen or twenty years ago. when there was a Water Extension Committee for Wilmington, that committee reported to the Town Meeting that it would cost $59,000 to extend a water main from the Kames and Main Street water main to the top of Cook Hill. The route would have been via Cook Ave.. which is the only practical road up that hill.
The subject came up last Thurs- day, at the meeting of the Board of Water Commissioners. Selectman Danny Gillis was there, to see about getting water to Cook Hill.
It seems there are half dozen families on the hill, who have mov- ed there in the past few years. They are without water. Mr. Gillis

The Games that People Play was the title of a book written a few years ago that made the best sellers list. It was a social study and some such social studies turn out to be boring. This book evidently was not.
But one game that some people play was not included. That is the game of Peeling, played today by young men in autos with stick shifts. <i
Kveryone is familiar with the game, even if he does not indjuge. The idea is to start off at full speed, so that the wheels are tur- ning faster than they need be. The car screeches down the road, and in a few seconds the traction of the wheels is. relatively speaking, the same as the speed of the car, whereupon the operator shifts gear, into another speed and peels off some more.
There are several points to the game Properly done there is not only one soul satisfying screech, but several. On a highway the car can be out of sight in almost nothing flat. Done on a parking lot at. say. 2 a.m. there can be a lot of fun. particularly if there is sand on that lot. Sand sometimes in- creases the traction, but in the game of Peeling, when tires are going sideways, it helps them slip and screech.
The North Wilmington parking lot is one place where the game is played. It is a safe place to play, once the business life of the day is over No one gets hurt, and if the police should come it's easy to drive off casually.
Sometimes there are drivers who start off with a Peel, even in daylight.
One such driver started off with a peel, last Friday evening. He had a 1966 Chevelle. green. On it was the name Screamer.
It had been a hot day, and as a result there was tar on the road. A little rain had just started to fall - the first in a fortnight or so. The radios were telling stories of ac- cidents being caused by the tar - water conditions.
railroad crossing, and gunned the engine He was about 100 feet from his starting point. He was already in a skid.
The Screamer, outt of control, crossed the street and struck a 1968 Plymouth, going north. The Plymouth was in proper place, relative to safe driving rules, and was being driven at a moderate rate of speed.
The right front fender of the Screamer struck the Plymouth, on the left front fender.
Under such circumstances there have been erievious accidents.
Fortunately this was not to be, at this time.
Mr and Mrs. Wilfred Lemos of Parker Street were in the Plymouth. They are an elderly couple, well liked, careful.
They were taken to the Winchester Hospital, looked over, and released.
There were no serious injuries. the Screamer is still to be seen
about town, minus half a fender.Also gone was the 's'. evidently taken by a punster.
Cook's Hill (From Col. Two)
The driver of the Screamer had started at about the North Wilmington Parking Lot. He was going south, on Middlesex Avenue. He shifted into second gear at the
said. He was wondering about a cross country pipe line, or a cross country hose-
In each case Mr. Gillis was told there was too much danger of van- dalism. He was also told that the cost of putting in a water main now
would be over $89,000. Gillis left the Commissioners
meeting saying he would probably bring up the subject in the Selectmen's meeting. Monday. This did not happen.
