M. on Monday, March 2, 1970 with 793 voters present. Voters were checked in by Josephine Kendrigan, Annie Michalowski, Mary Downing, Mary Smith, Barbara Smith and Lois Kendall. Philip H. MacAllister, Vice-Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars led the audience in a salute to the flag. The invocation was offered by the ];tev. James Crawford. The Moderator asked-that the Town Clerk record the warrant as having been served and returned as required by the Town by-laws. Selectman Allan A. Carnes reviewed the situation concerning the war in Vietnam, drawing particular attention to the part that the youth of this town have played in the conflict. Sine e our last Annual Town Meeting another of our young men, Lt. Thomas R. Gorrill, has given his life in this struggle. A silent tribute was given to Lt. Thomas R. Gorrill by rising vote of those assembled. Mr. Carnes called the attention of the meeting to the death since the last Town Meeting of Lot Phillips II, and on motion duly made and seconded, a committee on resolutions consisting of Verne S. Melanson, Porter W. Thompson and Wilford W. d'Entremont was appointed. 12 ARTICLE 1. To see if the Town will accept the reports of the officers and committees as printed in the Town Repo·rt, or take any other action relative thereto. VOTED: That the Town accept such reports. ARTICLE 2. To hear the reports of the Committees and act thereon, or take any other action relative thereto. The following reports were presented: Report of the Committee to Study the Need of a Permanent Recreational Director:· The purpose for which this committee was created was to explore t-he need for an individual professionally trained in the field of recreation to direct activities, not related to school activities , for all members of a family who are interested in recreational activities. The activities in mind were those akin to those carried out at the various Y.M. C.A. s,• or Y. W. C. A. s. There are facilities available for such programs, and with the proper individual in charge a worth while program can be developed. The Committee has lost some of its members at this time, but with new interest expressed in town, it is felt a reorganization is in order. We ask that this be accepted as a report of progress.
