ST. DOROTHY'S CONSTRUCTION TO START
1
V
His Excellency, the Most Rev- erend Richard J. Cushing, Ro- man Catholic Archbishop of Boston, announced Monday even- ing, in Villanova Hall, that ground breaking, for the new St. Dorothy's Church, at Sil- ver Lake, will take place next Spring.
Capable of seating 700 peo- ple, and to cost several hun- dred thousand dollars, the new edifice of worship is expected to be completed in time for the Christmas services, next year.
St. Dorothy's parish was es- tablished on June 7. 1954, and named in honor of St. Dorothy, Virgin and Martyr of the early church.
The 13 acre tract of land on which the church will be built was purchased by Monsignor Al- bert J. Shea, former pastor of the mother parish of St. Tho- mas of Villanova.
Father Joseph W. Leahy, tne
parish priest took up resi- dence in the new parish house on Hamden Street on March 17, 1955. In February 1957 the Rev David C. Tyrell. a newly or- dained priest came to St. Do- rothy's as assistant. The priests have been serving
Mass in St. Mary's Hall, in South Tewksbury, for the par- ishioners of St. Dorothy's, and in St. Dorothy's hall, on the church grounds. People of the parish have
been engaged in a gigantic fund raising drive for the past three years.

To the right of the Archbishop is Patrick C. izzo, Grand Knight. To his left is William McKenzle, vaster of Ceremonies, and Mrs. Ic- Kenzie. Father Edmund Croke, of St. Thonas is in the immediate foreground. 104
HEARING FOB RIGHT OP WAV TO SILVEB LAKE
No Wilmington proponents were present at 100 Nashua Street Monday afternoon, when a sche- duled hearing on a'petition for a right of way to Silver Lake was heard by a committee of three men who are to make recommendations to the Legis- lature. Commissioner Fritz of the De-
partment of Public Works, to- gether with a Mr. McKinnon and a Mr. Robinson from the Attor- ney General' s office heard a number of similar petitions, all on right of wavs to Great Ponds in Hassachusetts. Robin- son defined a Great Pond as
■being any pond of over 10 acre area, in the Commonwealth.
The Silver Lake hearing was one hour late. Several sports- mens club officials and others who had spoken in favor of the other proposals also spoke in favor of the Silver ^ake pro- posal, including a spokesman from the Council of Sportsmens Clubs, a Mr. Larson of Wild- life Conservation Inc., and a spokesman for the Middlesex County League of Sportsmen' s Clubs.

SELECTMEN GRANT AVCO LICENSE
Without discussion, Monday evening, the Board of Select- men voted to grant AVCO a lic- ense for the storage of hydro- gen and oxygen, in trailers, requested several weeks ago. In a meeting conducted by
Charles Black because of the absence of the chairman, there was little discussion by the Selectmen of the business of the evening.
An application for the re-op- ening of Mercaute's gravel pit was tabled, pending a report from the Town Engineer ( who has been sick for the past week) Black commented on the sur-
facing of Middlesex Avenue, in front of the Mytron plant, in No. Wilmington, saying that he didn't think a very good job had been done. He also commen- ted on the condition of Salem Street, now heavily traveled by gravel trucks, saying that he felt the present surface would be destroyed in a few more weeks.
Black asked TM Calabrese why the Eames St work was unfin- ished. He was told that the heavy rains stopped the work, which "should have been comple- ted Monday.
He told the TM that he had had calls about loam and other
items left on Jones Avenue - people thought the town should take the stuff away after fin- ishing a Job. The TM said the loam had been left there be- cause the residents requested it. 'That' s what the people wanted'
Don Kidder commented on three or four large boulders on Wing Road - 'wonderful job - but why did they leave the bould- ers there'
Fire Station TM Calabrese reported that he
had run into a 'bottleneck' on Fire Station repairs - no one seemed to know just what was supposed to be done. He had letters from the Fire Chief and the Police Chief on the subj ect. Calabrese was told to find
out from Garnet Mills. Lowell Street
Commenting on the new surfac- ing of Lowell Street, the Sel- ectmen told the TM that he should try to have the State paint stripes, for the traffic lanes, and in some way further delineate the Mecelaration' lane.' in front of the AVCO plant. Later in the evening Cala-
brese read a letter from the State Department of Public Works, stating that the state did not see any reason for ma- king Lowell Street a State Highway. No part of Route 129 was a Sta* Highway, the let- ter said, and a traffic count indicated that there was no reason to make this part a part of the State Highway. It could, however, become a part of the Chapter 90 system of

NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS TO BE HELD IN WILMINGTON
Long due recognition of the Wilmington Skating club has been made, in the announcement by the Northeastern Skating Association that the anrw?.! New England Outdoor Speed Ska- ting Championship races will be henceforth held in the Town of Wilmington.
The announcement, made Sunday by the Wilmington Skating Club in behalf of the Association, means that Wilmington will be host to one of the half dozen match meets annually sponsored by the Northeastern Associa- tion - parent organization of all the Skating Clubs in New England.
The dates of January 17 and 18 have been set fqr the Wil- mington races, which will bring to Wilmington not only the members of the New England clubs, but many of the stars, of clubs in New York and other eastern states. Leo P. 0'Connell, President
of the Wilmington Skating Club has extended invitations to the other clubs for the event, invitations which have now been accepted. The meet will include all
distances in Speed Skating, by the fastest skaters in the Eastern united States, as well as a number of National and North American champions.
While President 0'Connell has accepted, in the name of the Wilmington club, the Champion- ship Matches, no definite lo- cation has yet been named in Wilmington for the event. It may be held on Silver Lake
and it may be held on the Ro- tary Rink - the Wilmington club is not yet certain.
The Wilmington Skating Club probably holds more North Am- erican and National Champion-1
Ships than any club in the U- nited States. Leading the list of Wilming-
ton Skaters at the present mo- ment is Jeanne Ashworth. of Church Street, the fastest wo- man on skates in North America Miss Ashworth holds records in the Indoor and Outdoor classes

but the play which broke tne WILDCATS TRIUMPH Top North Bead lng, 8-0
Playing their most consistent game of the year, a determined Wilmington High School foot- ball team parlayed defensive excellence and a perfectly ex- ecuted 58-yard pass play into victory over North Reading on Saturday afternoon. The one play which prevented a second consecutive scoreless tie for the home forces started with Qiarterback George Munroe ta- king the ball on his hip and rolling slowly to his right. Downfield, end Al MacDbnald, whose promotion to the start- ing team came in last week' s practice sessions, had beaten the safety man and was leading him by a stride in their race for the goal line. Suddenly, Munroe uncorked a tremendous pass. At the last instant, Al MacDonald veered to his right, took the pass over his shoul- der, evaded a desperate lunge, and sped into the end zone for six points. Neal McCormack' s rush into the line added two more and ended the scoring for the day.
Casey - at - til e-Fumble Pass interceptions by Butch
Boudreau and George Munroe in the first and fourth periods halted North Reading charges before they could get started.
back of North Reading' s attack came soon after the start of the second half. The visitors had taken the kickoff at their own 31. Carrucci and Morrow, their two fleet halfbacks, al- ternated around the ends and up the middle, picking up four first downs in five plays en route to the Blue and White 18 yard line. A score seemed to be inevitable, but Joe Casey alertly pounced on a fumble at the 20, and Wilmington again had the ball. Shortly after, Wilmington scored.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE The Wilmington Parent Teacher's Association,
a few weeks ago found Itself sharply divided on the question of whether or not it should remain a part of the National Congress of the PTA.
A meeting in the High School, well attended, found itself to be so lively that one joking suggestion was made that a policeman be employ- ed to attend the next meeting, and keep the peace.
There are people in Wilmington who just want to have local Mothers Clubs. There are people in Wilmington who object to paying a 25 cents per member fee to the National Congress of the PTA.
In so far as we know there are two town* on- ly in Massachusetts which can possibly afford not to be a part of the National PTA setup. New ton and Winchester have within their borders so many professional pedagogues that they need no national guidance » but they are unique.
Wilmington does not fit in this category. We are a growing town, and we must keep alert to our responsibilities and our opportunities.
We have within the town many local Mothers Clubs, devoted to doing good for their own school - and sometimes slipping by the wayside.
We have a Parent Teachers organization. Both of these meet on a monthly basis, and
really drain from one another, in spite of good Intentions. It is too much to expect a parent, or a teacher, to attend two meetings a month.
Wilmington's PTA system should be overhauled and modernized. Instead of unguided Mothers Clubs, there should be a PTA group for each school, guided by the parent organization, and then a PTA Council (of all schools) which would meet at more infrequent intervals, to discuss problems of a more town-wide nature.
Let those small minds which refuse to pay 25 cents to a National organization which does provide the kind of guidance needed, go their own way. We can afford to lose them.
We cannot afford to lose the guidance of an organization which has had the experience, and has the know-how and the guidance of the Nation al Congress of the PTA.
It is no time to be small minded.

SENATOR POWERS The name of Senator John E. Powers (D)
Boston has suddenly loomed as the person whom the voters of Massachusetts will have
of to to
turn, if the proposed state lottery is to be defeated in the Legislature.
Senator Powers is expected to be named the Senate's new president, in January. Prior to the election of a week ago he was the Minority Leader in the Senate.
Last week's election gave an apparent major- ity of votes to the pro-lottery forces of the state, led by former Lt. Governor Francis E. Kelly. He has as much as stated that he will push hard, for a state lottery, in the coming year, as a means of providing revenue for state operations, and was largely responsible for the question being on the ballot.
The question on the ballot was not a manda- tory one, but one rather that sought public o- pinion, as a possible guide to legislators.
Senator Powers has already pointed out that he is opposed to lotteries, for state revenue, and that he does not want to see the state re- venues dependent on the turning of a wheel, or the rolling of dice, and has also recalled that the late Archbishop of Boston, William Cardinal 0'Connell was one of the foes of a lottery in this state.
URBAN RENEWAL PROGRESS The Wilmington Housing Authority, last week-
through a rather unique method presented to some of our residents their latest thoughts on Urban Renewal.
It would appear that their latest proposals will cost in the neighborhood of $1,500,000.

Herb Barrows, A. V. Herb Barrows continues to
surprise usv Prom his Reading rest home we continually get reports - when we cannot get down to see him - and general - ly its a report of Merb isn* t so good today' But for a man of 84 Herb has
an amazing vitality. Every now and then the p3ople of Wil- mington figure, when Herb has a relapse - well lt won't be long now, an* then a few days later they are amazed to leam that Hero has done something that proves he is going to live for a few more years.
The latest is that Herb is now entitled to the letters A. V. after his name, meaning that he cast his ballot in the election last week, as an Ab- sentee Voter. That is the 32nd time, if we have counted our fingers correctly, that Herb has voted in State elec- tions, - every other year for 64 years.
Doubly Glad As Vice Chairman of the Wil-
mington Town Democratic Com- mittee, John J. Davis of Grove Avenue would be a man to have had his heart filled with joy last week, but in this case his heart is doubly filled, for elected to Congress, from the 13th District of Massachusetts was James A. 3urke, (Democrat of course), who replaced the Representative (Wigglesworth) who did not want to be a Con- gressman any more. Burke is John Davis' first
cousin, and wouldn't that make anyone glad?
Girl Scout Project The Girl Scout baby sitting
project, on Election Day, proved to be quite successful. The actual number of baby- sitting jobs was small, but the Leaders cannot begin to estimate how many people cast their ballots through the ef- forts of Troop 108, and the students who offered to drive for them. Both the Republican and Democratic Town Committees made use of the girls and the civic service made available by them. There were 12 girls, all High
School students, in the group, and we have no doubt that they impressed some otherwise lack- aday people with the import- ance of voting as a privilege and duty. But perhaps more im- portant was the impression made on the girls themselves, who will soon be of voting age themselves. To them Election Day is not just another School Dav. T',e Twin Father Leahy, of St. Doro-
thy* s Church is the supposed author of the statement that there is only one Father Ty- rell (The Curate of St. Doro- thy's).
We have news for Father Lea hy.
i Father Tyrell has a twin bro- ther, who while not a priest, is a duplicate chip off the old block. We understand that this goes to the point of hav- ing a similar bald spot, on the old pate.
Old Pupil Perhaps the members of the
Father Coppens Council of the Knights of Columbus think that they have a grand orator in the person of their Grand Knight, pat Izzo. Perhaps, on the ether hand,
they groan, when pat gets up to speak.
We don't know, really, but if they want to place the (blame) (praise) they can stop down and visit our Superintendent of Schools, none other than John J Collins. Pat Izzo learned the art(?) of
public speaking in the Somer- ville Schools, and his teacher was one John J. Collins, at that time the Principal of the junior High School of that city.

for both National and North American titles, and is one of the two women of Wilmington who will probably be named to the United States Olympic Team in 1960 - the first time that women speed skaters will be allowed to enter the Olympic competitions.
The other Wilmington woman is Mrs. Janet Tighe, of Chestnut Street, the first Wilmington skater to win a National Champ ionship. Mrs. Tighe, the former Janet
Backman, has held three North American and National titles. Her brother Leo has also held
both North American and Nation al Championships. Michael Weinberg of Burling-
ton Avenue, a Junior Skater is the present World' s Champ- ion of his class, in barrel jumping. His sister Nancy has two ti-
tles, North American Pee-Wee Girls Champion, and National Invitational Champion.
Danny o'Connell, Faulkner Ave is the holder of the North Am- erican Invitational Champion- ship, Pee-Wee Boy' s Class.
Up and coming skaters, in the Wilmington club are a dime a dozen. It is impossible to name all the potential champ- ions of this town, where chil- dren are apparantly bom with their skates already in place, but among-ithose that can be
named are such names as Clyde McKaba, Danny Moeglin, Dolly Nancy and Marie Hersom. Patty Piske, Lennie Galvin, Barbara Maloney, Leo O'Connell III. Joyce Chinn, Jeff Williamson. Chester Hooper, Raymond LePore Celia Spears, Kathleen Pushee, Elise Woller and Eileen Brad- ley.
Hearing (fr Pr Pg)
TM Fred Calabrese opposed the idea, saying that Silver Lake is small in size, although a Great Pond, that the right of way idea is now being used by people with speedboats, for which it was never intended by the Colonial legislature, and that the residents of Silver Lake are very much upset by the speedboating which now takes-place on the lake. Calabrese had an ariel photo
of the lake which he displayed showing the congested homes a- round the lake, and he assured the hearing that all the homes are those of permanent year- round residents. Harold Melzar, Lake Street,
told the hearing that he had been a resident of the area for 63 years. There is now plenty of access, he told the hearing, through state and town owned land. He told the hearing that three attempts to stock sport fish in the lake had failed, and that only kib- bies and perch are to be seen in the lake today.

Curtis Gravel Pit Edward J. Curtis of Andover

and he now wanted it extended to the other side of the high- way, in part of a 10 acre lot. No contractor would discuss with him a 'cleaning up' oper- ation, unless he could get more gravel, Curtis stated.
The Selectmen voted to refer the case to the Town Engineer.

He wanted to know if the town could remove a piece of ledge, about 4 inches high and 36 inches long, on Cypress Street which has already been ac- cepted by the town. If this could be done the private con- tractor would do a better job he told the Selectmen. He also wanted the Town Engineer to survey the road, and stake it out.
Black told him that he should previously have told the TO a- bout the problem, and the dis- cusion became one of when the Town Manager had first been called, with Calabrese saying

Nichols Street Messrs William Berry. Charles
Masely and George Peters vis- ited the Board to discuss the Nichols Street bridge. Fair- meadow Road, and the Board of Water Commissioners, with Ber- ry doing most of the talking. Calabrese told them that he
was to attend a meeting Wed- nesday, with the B&M RR in which would be discussed an i- dea of having the Legislature vote that all bridges over railroads should be a govern- mental function, rather than a railroad responsibility, with a set-up similar to the Chap- ter 90 provisions for County highways - i.e. the town pay- ing one quarter, the county one quarter, and the state one half towards the construction and maintainance of railroad bridges.
So far, he told the group, the railroad has submitted 3 plans for the reconstruction of the Nichols St. bridge. The cheapest of these, in the viewpoint of the town, would cost Wilmington over $20,000.
The water on Nichols Street has been turned on as far as the bridge, and he is still waiting for the B&M before work will start on the final connection at the bridge. The Water Department, last Thurs- day, awarded a contract to a private contractor for the work, but the B&M must have an 'inspection crew" on the job. There had been a lot of delay
because the B&M had not been able to fully make up its mind on the procedure, was in ef- fect what Calabrese told the three men.
Berry brought up the subject of the Tewksbury supply - say- ing that 'the information we received at the Special Town Meeting was not accurate' - a subject of discussion for the two men every time they meet.
Calabrese: 'That isn't true. The Tewksbury Water Commission ers said that they could not and would not extend their contract - but that they could supply water on a day to day basis if Wilmington in good faith tried to solve the pro- blem. If we hadn' t made an ef- fort the water would have been turned off now.
Berry complimented the Water Department on the nice job they had done on Nichols St. and then supplemented his re- marks by saying 'I mean the paid members'
Berry brought up the $27 con- nection charge which is made by the Water Department in hooking up new services, say- ing he understood that Peters did not have to pay such a charge, and that others didr This, plus the method used to charge for connections based on the distance to the main, rather than the center of the street, was something Berry thought the Selectmen should know about - 'I didn' t come up here to get the solution' he said. Black told him he should dis-
cuss things of this nature with the Water Commissioners Berry: 'But we can talk with
you, Mr. Black* Black: 'But under the Town
Manager Act there is nothing the Selectmen can do* Berry: 'I entertain no
thoughts of satisfaction with the Commissioners of the Water Department
Other Items Selectman Don Kidder reported
that two of his constituents had missed their train, one morning while High Street ap- proaches were being surfaced by Campanelli & Cardi. He said that he hoped in the future the firm could put up a card- board sign, the day before, warning that a street would be closed for a while. Selectman Black reported that
he had again visited the area of the Town Bound, near the Ipswich River ( the corner known as Jenks Corner) and the boundary mark was not to
been covered over when the highway construction crews piled up peat, alongside; Route 93.
A note from Selectman Hag-; erty, which apparantly was somewhat obscure, spoke of a possible widening of Ballard- vale Street, in Wilmington, or in Andover, or both. The Selectmen were not sure. The Cronin Brothers have
purchased about five acres of gravel land, south of Ballard vale, which they will be shortly opening up, and Beyer & Mingolla have asked for a permit to re-open the Mercau- to pit, on Ballardvale Street Either one of these firms could be planning to widen the street, as a part of their operations.

masters in the Wilmington de- fensive line. Thirteen tries netted him only 45 yards, and the only time he did get loose to cross the goal-line, a mate was off-side, nullifying what could have been a touchdown. At one point in the game,when the going was especially tough for North Reading runners, the distraught Carrucci yelled to his coach, "Let us pass; we' re not going anywhere this way.' But the visiting team's aerial game fared no better. Eleven attempted passes were good for only one completion - and the two interceptions mentioned.
Summing Up While credit must be given to
the entire defense, several of the boys stood out. Joe Casey played a terrific game in the line and even took a turn in the backfield late in the game to spell Billy Rooney. Danny Bemis, Winston Fairfield. .fjeal McCormack and Ken Spinelli all gave outstanding performances. With only two games remaining, the boys realize they must win them both to finish above the . 500 mark. Next week* s match with Lynnfield (28-0 loser the week before to North Reading) should be a good tune-up for our Thanksgiving at-home clash with arch-enemy Tewksbury.

HISTORY OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
By Mrs. Esther C. Nichols (Continued)
Sal a;im to his right, twice) Then, without comment, he proceeded
with the sermon. At the close, he again made this same, pe- culiar gesture. (Salaam to his left, twice) Finally, when curiosity had reached the fever point, the deacons were instructed to call a meeting to ask the young pastor to ex- plain this unusual behavior. The meeting was called. After the chairman had commended the minister for the splendid work he was doing, and, especially for his fine sermons, he said, 'But we have got to know one thing. Why do you make these peculiar gestures every Sunday
^fcbefore and after the sermon?' ^^*0h,' replied the young min- ♦ later, much relieved, 'those
ire the quotations marks. You see I have been using sermons written by outstanding preach- ers, and the quotation marks simply indicate that I do not claim them as my own!' And now, having properly placed the quotation marks, I shall quote freely from all sources.
The history of our church is closely interwoven with that of our town. As many of you know, Wilmington was original- ly a part of Wobum, which, in those days, covered a great deal of territory, most of it wilderness. Lemual C Eames, in his History of Wilmington' , tells us that the common pur- pose of the early settlers was to subdue the wilderness, and to plant and uphold the prin- ciples of the heroic little colony. As the population in- creased, the settlers pushed further into the wilds, until the families from this area had to travel from four to seven miles to attend church. Not that distance kept them from attending, nor that it made them late. Tradition has it that inhabitants of the remotest corner of Goshen, (probably near the Billerica line), often travelled the seven miles to meeting in win- ter, on snowshoes. And Deacon Thompson was "wont to be there on summer mornings by eight o'clock, at least one hour be- fore services commenced. Another vigorous old Christian we are told, greatly impressed the youth of that generation with his maxim, 'Airly to meetin', airly to heaven, I vowger.'
We can readily see that al-
though the hardiest of these settlers managed tr overcome the obstacles of distance, many could not, and were there by denied the privilege of uniting in the public worship of God! This was the reason why the people in this area petitioned the General Court for permission to organize a
*new town. Their first request, which was for a separate pre- cinct or parish, was denied. Their second was for a separ- ate town, and when the commit- tee appointed 'to view the lands' reported 'that it is highly reasonable that the Prayer of the petitioners be granted', their prayer was granted.
It is significant that the Act of Incorporation, which was passed on Sept 17, 1730, contained the following re- quirement: 'And the inhabi- tants of said town of Wilming- ton are hereby required in the space of three years to procure and settle a learned, Orthodox minister of good conversation and make pro- vision for his comfortable and honorable support and also with convenient speed erect and furnish a suitable and convenient house for the Pub- lic Worship of Gos.' I think we all agree with Mr Noyes, one of the later ministers, who said on the occasion of the 150th Anniversary: It is no small privilege to be able to look back on such ancestry- —and their descendants can all be thankful that the town of Wilmington had its origin in sentiments running so deep and rising so high.
The town having been t*»«»i duly incorporated, the next
TOW CRIER OF WILMINGTON, NOVEMBER 13, 1958 step of its citizens was to meet with the requirement to erect and furnish a suitable building for the public wor- ship of God.
Unfortunately, the first leaf of our town records is missing, but the first words on the second leaf are 'The Word of God Among Us.* What- ever the rest of the vote was, it passed in the affirmative. The second vote of the town was to use the school house for a place of worship until a meeting house could be provid- ed; the third, was to vote sixty pounds, about $200.00, toward the support of the gos- pel. The fourth vote stipulat- ed that the two ends of the town were to agree upon a site for the meeting house by the end of one week. Later in the evening, having taken care of several other items of busi- ness, they returned to the vote on the choice of a site for the church. After adjourn- ing to the spot which had been ■settled upon as being the cen- ter of the town, the citizens were surprised to find that they were able to agree on a place a few rods from where our church now stands. The record says 'For which Christ- ian and brotherly agreement in a matter of such great moment, and which is generally of such lamentable consequence, to God be all the praise. 'But, alas, the Christian and brotherly agreement was short lived, 'for there were people even in those days who had the leisure to be dissatisfied.' Mr Noyes describes them thus: 'Here they come, unhappy fellows, their number and quality wholely forgotten, but only this remembered, that, when the town had come to an unex- pected happy agreement, much to its comfort and credit, they would not be content, but must needs stir dissatisfac- tions; and the result is that after one year and eight months, the meeting house stands upon the site first voted.* They had their labor for their pains. Human nature hasn't changed much in 225
B&M RR Depot yard, at Wilming- ton Square, last Friday after- noon.
He was stabbed in the back, with a blade that was about two inches long, The knife first went through his jacket,
which kept the wound from being more serious, although 5 stitches had to be taken to close the wound. Dr. MacDougal stated that if
the knife had been three in- ches higher it would have gone into the boy' s heart. Police are investigating the
accident.

iS now happening to the Hath- away gravel pit, in North Wil- mington. I John Drinkwater, owner of
land in both Wilmington and North Reading, so informed the board, and his information was confirmed in part by Arthur Hal lam, engineer of the Cam- panelli & Cardi Construction Company. Pointing out that a large
market exists for gravel and fill, in Wilmington. Drinkwa- ter stated 'it would not sur- prise me to see some smart o- perator buy the Smith pit, and start for China, just as has happened in North Wilmington'
"The Smith Pit was in dist- ance before the Zoning Laws were passed' he told the board and any operator who gets it in his hand, and wants to dig will not be stopped by the courts — and you know it!'
Hal lam confirmed this, in his belief, saying that Campanelli & Cardi would not do this, but that he believed other firms would - and that the need for the fill existed. Fred A, (Sunshine) Smith,
owner of the pit, denied to the Town Crier, later, that any thought waa being given to the selling of the pit, and that, if it were aold, it would be operated aa a gravel pit 'I will see to it,' he said' that there is a clauae to prevent further gravel ex- cavations, if I aell the pit'
The remarks by Drinkwater and Hallam were only part of an excited hearing, in which res- idents of Concord Street voc- iferously opposed a proposi- tion of making a pit out of a three acre tract south of Con- cord Street. Led by Rene LaRivee. half a
dozen residents of the street had compiled facts and figures on valuations and taxes, for the gravel pits in the area, and compared them to the taxes paid by the residents. Pointing out that the resi-
dents of the area pay nearly $7000 a year in taxes, they told the board that they were having the value of their homes ruined by gravel pit o- perators who 'leave messes for everyone to see' Arthur Hallam, engineer for
Campanelli & Cardi. told the board that he wished to remove a hill, with a height of 107 feet above sea level, down to
all of a three acre tract, 300 feet south of Concord Street, known as the Dias lot. It is south of land owned by Fred Smith, and others, to the home of Mr. LeFavour ( the last home in Wilmington, on the south side, going to North Reading).
A glacial pot hole, now filled in with water, and a breeding place for mosquitoes would be filled in. as part of the operation, Hallam told the board. All loam and top soil would be retained and after- wards spread over the land, so as to increase its value, and it would be left in good con- dition.
Mr. Drinkwater, who owns a large tract of land, on which gravel operations have been conducted, in North Reading, and who also owns a tract of land just south of the Dias lot. joined Mr. Hallam, in asking that a favorable de- cision be made. Drinkwater told the board
that he had torn down a 'tuber culor* shack, on his property, and that other homes in the area were of a similar nature, a statement which brought vol- uble protests from the Concord St. residents, and led Drink- water to redefine his state- ment to homes on the south side of the street. Hallam told the Board of Ap-
peals twice that Drinkwater

was not speaking for Campanel- Lm^ li & Cardi. w
Mr. LaRivee told the Board of Appeals that the only reason Drinkwater appeared in favor of the Campanelli & Cardi pro- posal was so that he could get his own property, south of the Dias lot, opened up for gravel operations. Every resident of the area, all against the P ">-/_-» posed gravel operations,*^ chimed in agreement to La Rl- vee' s statement.
They also told the Board that they had nothing against Cam- panelli & Cardi as a firm. The board was told that the con- tractor, so far. had always lived up to all agreements, and that they had no complaint to make - but they were a- gainst any extension of gravel pits.
Chairman Walter L. Hale Jr. of the Board of Appeals con- ferred with the Selectmen Mon- day evening, in such a way as to make it appear that the
