$3 million ready for new sewers

Massachusetts has $600 millions in federal money, ready for the new sewer programs, Rep. Fred Cain told the Selectmen Tuesday evening, and he can get $3 millions immediately for Wilmington. This was because Wilmington has an approved set of plans ready when the money became available - the sewer that is proposed to run to the site of the new High School, northerly of Salem Street.

As the program is being approved, Cain said, money will be available to construct a sewer from Eames Street to Silver Lake, going up the line of the Boston & Maine Railroad.

No money would be available to go from Silver. Lake to Salem Street, he said. This he said, was up to the industrial people who are in North Wilmington.

Cain said that he believed, if there was some fast action, that he could get y/z millions for Wilmington sewers - that is if more plans were available. *

The selectmen greet the news enthusiastically, but then ran into what seemed to be a snag, on the last quarter million used for sewer extension - the town had never gotten its money back.

An apparent snag developed dur- sPent *250000 to construct a sewer ing the conversation, enthusiastic from *• w°burn line to Eames though it was. Wilmington had PAGE SEVEN

MOSQUITO PROGRAM Each evening, five evenings

a week, the Town of Wilmington sends out a team of men from the Tree Depart- ment, to spray against mos- quitoes. This generally starts about 8 p.m. and lasts until 12 a.m.

Unfortunately, there are many children who feel it is fun to chase the spraying vehicle.

They endanger themselves in doing this. The hour is late, and there is a good chance that they might be killed by a pass- ing motorist.

Tho parent* of those children will have to make their choke. Stop tho kids from chasing, or we will stop tho anti-mosquito program.

Stop sign voted

A stop sign is to be erected on Harnden Street, apparently near the triangle that exists at Glen Road.

The board of selectmen voted Tuesday evening for such a sign to be erected on the right side of Harnden Street.

The vote followed a discussion of several weeks ago, in which traffic conditions were discussed. The selectmen would like to have the light pole in the triangle moved, and the bushes and shrubs remov- ed. The bushes and shrubs have been planted by a private party on what is town property.

Public Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages

Paul J. Lynch, Chief of Police, hereby calls attention to the bylaws of the Town of Wilmington, and in par' ticular Chapter 5, Section 12:

Town bylaw An amendmentito the Revised Bylaws of the

Inhabitants of the Town of Wilmington is hereby adopted by adding to Chapter 5, Public Regulations, Section 12, Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages, as follows:

(a) No person shall consume any alcoholic beverage while in or upon any street, public place, public building.

(b) No person shall consume any alcoholic beverage while in or upon any private land, building, or place without consent of the owner or person in control thereof.

(c) For the purpose of this bylaw, alcoholic beverages are as defined in Chapter 138, Section 1, of the General Laws.

(d) Alcoholic beverages being consumed in violation of this bylaw shall be seized and held by the Chief of Police until the case is disposed of by courts, after which such beverages shall be returned to the person entitled to their lawful possession.

(e) Whoever violates this bylaw shall pay a fine of not to exceed $10.00 for the first offense and not to ex- ceed $25.00 for the second offense; and the fine shall be $50.00 thereafter.

Massachusetts General Law

Chapter 272, Section 40A:

Sale, flelivery or Possession of Alcoholic Beverages in Public School Buildings, etc.

Whoever gives, sells, delivers or has in his possession airy alcoholic beverage, except for medicinal pur- poses, in any public school building, or on any premises used for public school purposes and under the charge of a school committee or other board of Of- ficers, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than thirty days or by a fine of not more than one hun- dred dollars, or both.

These two laws, the bylaw and the General Law, are being published as a public service to familiarize you with the laws that the Wilmington Police Department are required to enforce.

Through our efforts to acquaint you with these laws and the consequence of violating same, it would be my sincere hope that these laws would not be violated, thereby making the task of enforcement unnecessary.

TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF WILMINGTON: THINK before you DRINK! And remember: WHAT you drink is YOUR business - WHERE you drink is OUR business.

Finally, remember that WILMINGTON BELONGS TO ALL OF US. Therefore, LET US KEEP WILMINGTON A TOWN FOR ALL TQ-L0OK AT WITH GREAT PRIDE. )

New Ponds and Old In three real estate developments, at this

time, ponds, new and old, are more than just a subject of conversation.

There was, and is a pond southerly of Salem Street, which is now a part of Corum Meadows. There is a pond in Glen Acres, which is on the site of an old meadow. There is a pond, in land off Park Street, and near Gowing Brook.

In each case the developers have enlarg- ed and dug those ponds deeper. In each case there are town officials who may be described as upset at the turn of events.

It might be well to summarfc. The pond southerly of SaleiKtreet has

been there for generations. It ips dug out, it was enlarged, according to prepared plans. It is deeper than was originally planned. There were hundreds of tons of iron ore in that pond.

If someone will drown in six feet of water will he drown in twelve? It is on record that the developer did offer to construct a fence.

The pond in Glen Acres. It is a part of what was known as Kelly Meadow, to those in Wilmington seventy-five years ago. Kel-'

ly Meadow is the peat bog off Glen Road, through which the old Wilmington & An- dover Railroad was built.

When the pond was planned, the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources established a depth of 3V2 feet. No one else seems to have established any depths at all.

Three and a half feet would still leave peat in the bottom of the pond. Perhaps the action of digging deeper is of good purpose, in that there will be fewer weeds, growing from a peat bottom. A child can easily drown in a mess of weeds - just as easily as in a deep pond.

This isn't to provide answers - just some observations.

The third pond, near Gowing Brook, has been described as "awful" by one person. Others observe that it is fenced in, and that the developer is filling up the pond. Even- tually, they feel, there will be no pond there.

Possibly there are some valid answers, in that pond area too. Let no one jump too hastily.

Seven years of Morris For those who may remember, today is

the seventh anniversary of the appointment of Sterling Morris as Town Manager of Wilmington. He first appeared in a Memorial Day Parade, seven years ago.

Seven years of service is a long time in Wilmington. Morris now holds the record for longevity as -a Town Manager, in this

town. There have been difficult periods. There

has been a share of strife. But right now there seems to be nothing but mutual friendship and respect between the Town Manager and the Selectmen.

The Town Crier thinks it is time for a lit- tle self-congratulation.

Public Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages

On this page is an advertisement placed there by the Town of Wilmington. It is in- tended as a sort of warning, particularly to the young people, to say that if they must drink, do so in private.

There are many who will agree with the warning. There are many who might over- stress the message. This particular message seems to be aimed at those who sit in parking lots and drink beer. The Wilmington Police, for the past fortnight, have been warning a lot of individuals who were consuming alcoholic beverages in public.

There are many adults who are unhappy about the situation. But there is something to be said for the younger generation, who are the "subject" of the warning.

It is now legal for those 18 and older to drink.

There is no place in Wilmington where

such an event may be conducted legally, in- side, other than a couple of restaurants.

Some readers will perhaps scream to high heaven, but if a place were to be set aside, where boys and girls can meet, and in a social way have a few beers, the town might be better off. The young people have no place they can meet and act as socially responsible persons.

Perhaps an opportunity should be offered. Perhaps it may fail, but offer it. An indoor meeting place for those 18 to 21

years old, where they can have responsibili- ty might work. It could possibly be better than the present system, where young peo- ple have a cruiser pull up alongside, and they are told to "scram."

There is a site or two available. The Town Crier recommends to the Selectmen and to the clergy that some thought be given to the subject.

Wilmington men complete emergency training

■

Arthur V. Lynch, Jr. of the Wilmington Police Department and George Anderson, Jr. of the fire department were among twenty-eight persons who recently graduated from Winchester Hospital's Emergency Medical Training program. Formal graduation ceremonies were held at the hospital.

The emergency medical training program, for all private and public ambulance personnell. now re-

quired under Massachusetts state law. involves 81 hours of instruc- tion. Six hours are spent in the hospital's emergency room and four in' the recovery room obser- ving medical care techniques and treatments. During the thirteen weeks course, more than a dozen physicians instruct the trainees in various aspects of emergency care.

Upon successful completion -of the course and the successful pass-

ing of a written examination, trainees become registered emergency medical technicians and receive a certificate from the National Registry in Ohio and the right to wear the official EMT shoulder patch on their uniforms.

Dr. Hugh F. McCarthy, chief of general surgery at the hospital and hospital coordinator of the training program presented the graduates with their certificates and patches.

One item in the state control asks that there .be a home occupancy inspection when homes are sold. Some municipalities have established a fee for this inspection, one of which is reported to be $25 (Reading).

Presumably Wilmington will be asked to establish such a fee.

Last January an arti- cle was submitted to the selectmen with a lot of signatures, asking that the town take by emi- nent domain all the land along the Ipswich River where it is proposed to erect low and moderate income housing, under the provisions of Chapter 774 - the snob zoning bylaw, so called.

The article was not submitted in time to be included in the warrant for the annual town meeting, but there was a promise that it would be included in the next special town meeting.

When the selectmen inspected the article Tuesday evening, it was noted that the words "not later

' than March 1975" were in the arti- cle. The selectmen voted to ask the town counsel for a ruling as to whether or not that article should be placed in the warrant for the town meeting of June 23.

It is also possible that the spon- sors of that article may prepare and submit another - or the same one updated, with new signatures.

SPORTS Wildcats rip Tewksbury A disappointing Wilmington

High School baseball season came to a close on a high note Monday as the Wildcats ripped through the Tewksbury Redmen 7 - 3 behind the pitching of lefthander Barry Foster.

The Wildcats scored four first in- ning runs to jump out to a 4 - 0 lead. Wilmington then pecked away' for three more runs as Foster survived a 'shakey second inning to win easily.

Wilmington's Bob Dorval had the deepest Wildcat drive as he banged a towering double to right centerfield in the third inning. He,

also made a fine defensive play in the fourth inning when he picked off a sleeping Kevin VonKahle on second base. Dorval's rifle arm took Tewksbury out of a possible big inning. Foster may have been tiring in the final inning as be allowed singles by Bobby Dogerty

'and Russ Anderson before retiring Chris Leos on a fly to centerfield.

Foster struck out four and walk- ed only two batters as Wilmington finished with a solid victory over Tewksbury. Wilmington lashed ten hits against three Tewksbury pitchers and drove starter and loser Tom Lucciano from the mound in the first inning.

B team tops Framingham Last Saturday the Wilmington

Recreation soccer team faced a tough Framingham squad. The game was a close one all the way, with the edge going to Wilmington.

The first half was a defensive struggle, with no scoring. When the first half ended the score was deadlocked, 0 - 0.

The first 10 minutes of the se- cond half was played identical to the first half. After that Wilmington jumped on Framingham's mistakes. The first mistake gave Wilmington a direct kick (penalty). The kick was taken by Captain Greg Wood; the ball passed up to Captain Bill Gallagher. Gallagher put on a

Softball squad begins workouts The Wilmington Recreation

Department's entry in the Northeast Baseball League will conduct its initial tryout for the 28 boys signed up this Friday night at the North Intermediate School field. Manager Dick Mulno and his coaches Tom Woods and Mike Sughrue will have ten days in which to pare the squad down to 15 in preparation for their home opener on Tuesday, June 10 with Lowell.

The Recs will play an 18 game league slate in the Northern divi- sion and an additional four non- league encounters for a total 22 games this season. The complete schedule follows:

burst of speed and blazed in for a shot which beat the Framingham net minder.

The second goal came about 10 minutes later. Chris Briggs con- trolled the ball, he put a pass across the middle; the pass was tipped by Jim Bruce over to Eric Wood who wasted no time and fired the ball into the open corner for the 2 - 0 shut-out win.

Again this week the defense of Wilmington was solid, holding its opponents to no score. The shutout was the second in two games and the fourth for the year. Of course, a lot of credit has to be directed to goalie Pete MacMillan who is a major factor in the shutouts.

Next Saturday Wayland comes to Wilmington for a 3:30 p.m. game at the North Intermediate School.

Rec softball tryouts set On Tuesday evening, June 3, all

girls who have signed up for the upcoming Wilmington Recreation softball league and were not on a team last season should report to the town park at 6 . At this time the girls will be assigned to a club for the season.

All participants who are retur- ning will have their initial practice on Tuesday June 10 at town park beginning at six o'clock with the Tiggers and Sluggers. The 76'ers and Streakers will take the field at 7:30.

The older girls (17 and over) will have their first workout at town park on June 3 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Fourteen young ladies have signed up and it is hoped that a slate of games will be scheduled later next month.

Town beaches open June 21 Residents of Wilmington are

reminded that the two public beaches at Silver Lake will not open to the public until Saturday, June 21.

Following that date the beaches will have lifeguard supervision on a seven day a week schedule. ►*.*

Squirt A (M-2): The Wilmington Squirt A's bounced back after a loss to Reading last week to tie Stoneham 1-1. The game turned out to be a superb two way effort.

Stoneham opened the scoring at 5:08 of period number one, but Ed Harding tied the score with a long shot from the left side at 10:16 of period one.

Ed Laquidara put on an outstan- ding show in net. turning away 19 of 20 shots. Strong defensive play led by Captain John Palmer provided good support in front of the Wilmington net. Bob Curran and Ray Durling turned in ex- cellent two-way performances as they led the attack a number of times toward the Stoneham net.

The penalty killing of Jeff Brown and Ed Harding was again outstan- ding as this unit has yet to be scored upon in shorthanded situations through the first five games.

Representatives of the Colonial Cablevision of Wobum presented arguments, in a packed selectmen's meeting, Tuesday, as to why the company should be allowed to increase its subscriber subscription from $5 a month to $7.50.

The selectmen, on their part (or some of them) presented arguments for cancelling the license granted to Colonial Cablevision three years ago. The net result was no decision - until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Wilmington Selectmen. The license had been issued by the selectmen several years ago, with a definite schedule, presented by the com- pany. At about the same time a license was issued by the Billeria selectmen for that town, and a few months previously one had been issued by the selectmen of

. Burlington.

The president of Colonial Cablevision is George Duffy. Several Woburn businessmen were present for the discussion, seemingly having an interest in the company, which is a subsidiary of

' the TV company owned by the Providence Journal.

Duffy told the selectmen that there were difficulties in finan- cing. There should be 100 homes to a mile, he said, with at least two thirds subscribing. In Wilmington the number was less, and only about one third subscribed. He named, at one point, the number of subscribers as 71.

Selectman James Banda was outspoken, in saying that the Cablevision Company had not lived up to the standards it had set, when the license was granted

Summer activities are to be planned in the next committee meeting, which will be June 10 at the home of Bill Lindsay. -^_*_/ about three years ago. Banda ask- ed where the cablevision was in the schools, and that they should be in the Town Hall too, for the benefit of Wilmington people.

One point, made by Selectman Boylen, was that for the money the company was seeking from sub- scribers a better TV program could be enjoyed. Ninety dollars, Boylen observed, could buy an ex- cellent antenna.

Chris Bachman, of the Wilmington Finance Committee, made more than a few remarks. Mr. Bachman, of course, is one of Wilmington's engineers.

Dear Larz: During the past week and a half,

I have passed Wilmington common several times and I must say that I am appalled at the litter that now "graces" it. It would be excusable perhaps, if there were no trash barreUs around, but with several right there on the common, what is the excuse? If you will pardon the expression, it "tees me off" to see the way our young people have no respect for property, whether it be private or public.

This generation blames us for the water and air pollution of to- day, but what about litter pollution? Each year it becomes worse and worse. Is it because the parents today do not teach their children respect of property and pride in their city or town?

Perhaps our generation did help to pollute the air and the water and I am not excusing that, but it cer- tainly was not an intentional thing or an act of individual people, but more of giant industry which an ordinary person has very little con- trol over. Litter, however, is caus- ed by individual people who are just too lazy to pick up after' themselves and this type of pollu- tion certainly need not be!!

It is not just the common that is a mess, but litter is everywhere in this town and country. I don't ever remember it being as bad as it has become in the last several years and it seems to progressively worsen every year.

Come on kids, from 2 to 20 and you adults too, for a lot of you are not blameless! Pick up after yourselves! Show some pride in this great town of Wilmington. A town that spends a great deal more time and money on recreation than many surrounding towns certainly deserves a lot more appreciation and respect than Wilmington is getting now!

I have tried to bring my own children up not to be "litter bugs," but the best way to do this is to set an example. Clean up, shape' up, or ship out. we don't need litterers here!!!

Sincerely, Mary Ann Ackerman

Dear Larz: Many things have been said

about the young people in Wilmington. Too often they are critisized on what they do and ac- complish.

Recently, as you know, the senior class at WHS sponsored a blood drive. This has been given very little notice. I would like to offer my congratulations to the Wilmington senior class and to the junior and sophomore students who gave a great deal of time to this effort and to the Wilmington High School staff for assistance.

Many people living in Wilmington do not know the full

extent of the blood drive. I get very upset when I bear peo-

ple say that our future is in jeopar- dy if our young people continue in their ways. I believe that our young people show a great interest in the future. If they continue to act as they have in sponsoring a successful blood drive with the in- terest of the whole town, I'm sure we have nothing to worry about.

In closing, I would like say thank you, senior class for your life sav- ing gift.

Sincerely, Joe Mantini

Dear Larz: The coaching staff and varsity

baseball team of Wilmington High School would like to express ap- preciation to Rocco DePasquale for bis generosity and to his staff, for the hospitality and patience shown us during our weekly meetings at his restaurant.

Every week, our "Rocco Club" convenes at the restaurant and Rocco awards the outstanding player of the week a steak dinner and other outstanding players, who are determined by a point system, and are given a free pizza.

The whole team enjoys the meetings at Rocco's and looks forward to them each week. They have added much to the spirit of the team and provided an outlet where we can relaz and unwind from the pressures on us during the games.

We are sincerely grateful to Mr. DePasquale for allowing us to use his restaurant as a meeting place. He has helped make the season more enjoyable for all concerned.

Respectfully, James M. Gillis

Dear Lars: The Varsity Baseball Team

would like to issue a challenge to all former varsity baseball players of Wilmington High School to an alumni game on Saturday, June 7, at 10:30 a.m. at the high school field. If there is enough interest, the jayvee's would loke to play some "old timers" (pre 1960).

Anyone interest should start loosening up the old arm and call Jim Gillis at the curriculum center. 658-4580

Last year's result was Alumni 4, Varsity 2. The Alumni were led by the pitching of Kevin Field (1962) and the hitting of Jim Melzar (1961). Gerry Scratch O'Reilly (1950) and Pete Emery (1965).

Sincerely, James M. Gillis

Open letter to: Ctunn. of bicentennial Comm, Board of Selectmen, Wilmington Council of Churches

The Colonial Arts Pair held in Wilmington and the subsequent parade and capping of the May Pole is not to be denied a rousing "cheer" on the part of those who participated and worked so deligently in the preparation of the various booths, etc. it was an ex- citing day with a thousand marching Minutemen and no more than 400 spectators.

Anything that could ever be con- ceived as in the tradition of Judeo- Christian morality, I'm afraid, was relatively submerged and moral influence of the men who held together our "American Dream" was almost non- existent...the Wilmington Bicentennial Committee had but to look at the previous ceremonies at the Old North Church and Lex-

ington and Concord to set a theme of dignity and reverence.

Many people worked very hard on the Historical Church exhibit at the High School grounds and the exhibit was set so far aside from the other exhibits they were therefore very sparsely attended.

by Eddie Holder and Joe Casey The air we breath is important To keep it clean, car

manufacturers have been installing emission control systems.

These cut down on air pollution by controlling the gases formed by burned and partially burned fuel and air. Emis- sion systems are necessary to prevent evaporation of gas- oline into the air we breath. Exhaust fumes are made up of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen.

Each car, efficiently controlling its own fumes, helps to keep the air we breath healthy.

Keeping your car well tuned and maintained is important for fighting pollution as well as for your own safety, and WILMINGTON FORD, 275 Main St., Rt. 38, Wilmington, 658- 6800 has an expert service department to serve your automotive needs.

Letters local clergy. When I asked one of the women of the League of Women Voters (and an organizer of the affair) why no minister was present the reply was given rather sharply, "Anne, is that All you think about..we didn't even con- sider it!"

"NO" it is not All I think about, but certainly it is the First thing I think about, and certainly should be included at a public ceremony such as the one we had here in Wilmington on Saturday.

After checking with a local minister and member of the Coun- cil of Churches I was told they were not invited to participate at Rotary Park.

At the ceremonies at Rotary Park it was as if the church and its

influence on our town did not exist, but they do us wrong who think that we shall not go on fighting the good fight.

Fr Leahy of St. Dorothy's parish read a beautiful speech, to an audience of fewer than 10 peo- ple at the tent chapel...it was a stiring statement of where we are at this time in American history...he stated, "American's are becoming so arragant in not calling on God that we (that in- cludes Wilmington folks!) are sur- ely destined to meet the fate of the Roman Empire if we do not turn back from our "secular humanism" and call upon God Almighty."
