EXHIBITS
0 N the first floor of the Foster School, there will be splendid exhibits, of historical and educational interest.
In the vestry of the Congregational Church, an attractive floral exhibi- tion may be witnessed, staged by the Garden Club.
We urge everyone to visit these exhibitions, for it is almost certain that never again can such a collection be gathered together, particularly in the his- torical groups. School children will have a clearer and more definite under- standing, not only of town history, but of state and national.
HISTORICAL
THIS EXHIBIT includes pieces of historical interest loaned by the towns- people and former residents and arranged under various groups, such as Religious-Educational-Civic-Industrial-and Home Life. Articles date from times when Tewksbury was a camp ground and hunting region of the Indians, to the period of the Town's Incorporation up to about 1900.
Among those pieces of unusual interest, may be seen a photostatic copy of the original deed of the Town of Tewksbury, also several ancient town re- ports, a register from one of the old Taverns, Indian relics dug up from farms in the town, religious books, sermons and articles and a splendid oil painting of General Adelbert Ames, of Civil War fame.
GENERAL EXHIBITS
W ILL include one of great interest from the New England Power Associa- tion, and an extensive display by the Massachusetts State Infirmary. The groups of the Market Gardeners, Dairy men, Poultry men, Fruit growers and Florists will be interesting and educational. There will also be included an exhibit showing what has been accomplished in welfare work.
TEWKSBURY GARDEN CLUB
I N the Congregational Church will be found an interesting and educational exhibit by members of the Tewksbury Garden Club. These will be eight classes calling for arrangement of flowers in various types of containers.
The hours that these exhibits are to be opened to the public, will be listed in the Official Program on pages 12, 19 and 21.

Prayer for Country-In Unison
"Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favour and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and con- fusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liber- ties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought thither out of many kindreds and many tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to law, we may show forth thy praise through all the earth. In the time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Mother Town-Billerica
T HE TERRITORY now comprising Billerica was originally granted to Cambridge. It was not settled until about 1653. The town was then called Shawshin. On May 23, 1655, the towns of Billerica, Chelmsford and Groton were incorporated and soon after the name of Billerica was voted. The town at that time included all of what is now Tewksbury, a small part of Wilmington, about half of Bedford and about one third of Carlisle.
