Since Mr Gustin has been ill over a week,
the letters to organizations were not written and REPORT ON
the publicity for the Minute-man reached the press PUBLICITY
too late for printing last week. It thus became
necessary for us to postpone our open meeting from

taken care of immediately
Mr Lewis said that it would be thoughtful of
us to invite the Chief of Police to visit with us as
soon as we have a definite schedule for the day.
The American Legion offered us the use of
their room in Cary Hall for the second and fourth MEETING
Tuesday evenings of each month It was voted to DATES
accept the offer and Mrs Cheever was asked to
write to the Board of Selectmen informing them of
our meeting plans and asking them to be sure the
room was open for us on the following January 24,
February 14, February 28, March. 13, March 27, and
April 10

Mr Lewis then read a letter from Mrs Nonnemaker
of the League of Women Voters on participation or
activity in their Freedom Agenda Program It was the
feeling of those present that since we are a temporary
committee working only on the April 19 celebrations
under the direction of the Board of Selectmen, it would
be impossible for us to take any part in this program.
Mr Lewis stated that he would call Mrs Nonnemaker
and explain our situation
