The Tercentenary Celebration
The movement for the celebration of the Three Hundredth Anni- versary of the establishment of the Town of Reading had its inception in the Town of Wakefield. During the early Summer of 1943 a suggestion was passed along to the selectmen of North Reading, Herbert E. Mosher, Earl L. Coolidge, and Carlton B. Mclntire. At their meeting in June the matter was discussed and a Tercentenary Committee appointed. On this executive committee was Dr. Samuel M. LePage, Charles Ford and Arthur G. Eaton.
Charles Ford
Samuel M. LePage The Executive Committee
Arthur W. Eaton
After the executive committee had considered the various phases of the proposed celebration, talked with the committees of both Wakefield and Reading, they decided that the best method of making a beginning was to call together representatives of the various local organizations, such as the Legion, the Grange and the various women's organizations. The first meeting was at the parish house of the Union Congregational Church on the evening of October 28, 1943. At this meeting Elizabeth Batchelder was appointed secretary of the larger committee. After thorough discus-
[ 126 ]
sion it was decided to appoint sub-committees as follows: Historical, Antiques and Old Fashioned Things, Markers, Music, Colonial Tea and Old Home Day. It was also further decided that a History of North Read- ing should be compiled and published.
Another meeting was held at the Library, on the 30th of November at which plans were further discussed and the organization of the commit- tees perfected. As finally constituted these committees stand as follows:
