APRIL 19, 1964 Pat Fox reported that in 1936 April 19 fell on
a Sunday and was celebrated on Monday It was re-
- ported that Mr Bartlett and Mr Hanley were against
the idea of celebrating on Sunday It was suggested
that perhaps we would consider having the afternoon
parade on Sunday and the morning parade on Monday
The clergy will be sounded out further and we
will try to arrive at a decision at next meeting which
will be held May 23 in the Town Accountants Office
Dr MacDonald of Concord informed us that Con-
cord had voted to hold their Parade on Sunday morning,
but there was a possibility that this vote would be re-
considered He personally would prefer that Lexington
celebrate on Sunday and was pleased to hear that we had
not finally decided against a Sunday Parade
