UNITED NATIONS DAY Monday, October 24th - The High School assembly
ide; was not well received. Therefore, the awarding of prizes to
the winners of the Essay Contest will probably take place on the
Green at the United Nations Day Program. The Poster Contest winners
will probably be awarded their prizes in a like manner.
The Library will be happy to display the top ten posters, being careful
not to divulge any winner ahead of time.
Mr. Lord will follow through en the Essay Contest winners, seeing to it
that snapshots of their trip to New York City and. the United Nations

APRIL 19th This committee feels we should split the cost of the Air

to our parade. We feel our Town Celebrations Committee should
meet with Concord's Celebration€ Committee prior to April 19th
for smoother working relations.
