1 <br /> 5) What about planting a tree on the Green for <br /> UN Day? <br /> As far as Mr Reed knew there would be no ob- <br /> TREE lection Mr Frothingham was sure there are definite <br /> restrictions about putting anything on the Green It is <br /> a matter that would have to be looked into before doing <br /> such an act. <br /> Mr Lewis then read the minutes of our first two <br /> meetings as recorded by Mr. Kennedy, secretary pro-tem. <br /> He gave copies to Mr. Reed for the Board. Mr Gustin <br /> asked Mr Reed if we could have an official list of <br /> members of this Committee Mr Gustin explained that <br /> some of those on the list given to Mr. Foster for our <br /> first meeting have never been asked to be on the com- <br /> mittee or if asked by phone, have not accepted. Mr <br /> Reed explained that he did not know who they were and <br /> would try to see that we were notified. <br /> After Mr Reed left, Mr Lewis carried on the <br /> business meeting. Mrs. Cheever reported that during the <br /> past week she had notified Miss McIntyre and Mr <br /> Ramsdell of the high school and Mr John Smith for the <br /> elementary schools that we were ready to help them <br /> celebrate UN Day in our public schools; that she had <br /> called Mr Morse of the Lexington Council of Churches <br /> about our desire to have the churches observe UN Day; <br /> and she read the article she had written for the <br /> Minute-man It was decided after a short discussion <br /> to try to get ten or twelve posters from the art de- <br /> partment at high school so that UN Day could be pub- <br /> licized in stores along Massachusetts avenue <br /> Acutely aware of the shortness of time and the <br /> still small number of members on the Committee it was <br /> voted to postpone the planting of a UN tree until next <br /> year when we would have time to do it preperly <br /> We planned to meet next Tuesday, October 11, at <br /> CHURCH 8 p.m in the Selectmen' s room. Mrs Cheever was voted <br /> PARTICIPA- the secretary She was asked to send cards to members <br /> TION IN not present Mr Gustin suggested that we divide up <br /> UN DAY the churches in town and each call special leaders to <br /> personally ask them for support on celebrating UN Day <br /> in their own churches Mr Lewis volunteered to cover <br /> the Catholic and Jewish churches ; Mr. Frothingham the <br /> Episcopal; Mrs. C.N Williams the Unitarian; Mr Dearborn <br /> the Baptist; Mr Sawyer the Congregational; and Mr <br /> Gustin. the Methodist, Christian Science, and Latter Day <br /> Saints . <br /> L <br />
