The crowd was very small due to the bitter cold day with students and Lions Club officials being about the only ones in attendance and they spent the greater part of the day hud­ dling in small groups to keep warn. The day was very cold but one Conrad 'Connie' Stone of the Westlands school was hot­ ter than a four alarm fire.

Don McGillivary was an out­ standing performer in the High school events as he took first place in the Hign jump and third spot in the 100 yard dash. McGil 1 i vary showed all the know how of a seasoned performer as he out-jumped a large field in the high jump contest.

A town isn't just a point on a map. It isn't only streets. It isn't simply houses or stores or schools. A town is people. And a town takes its character from the kind of people who live in it as surely as an old shoe conforms to the foot that wears it. Chelmsford is a good town - a friendly town - because good and friendly people live in it. We're proud, indeed, to be a business neighbor - and a friend to these good and friendly people.
