Catch basin and shoulder run-offs require fre- quent attention during the winter months.
When time permits, during the winter season, the highway force helps with the reconditioning of equipment and gives aid to the Parks Department with the winter tree work. In return, the Parks Depart- ment supports the Highway Department where snow and ice removal require it. Mutual support during crit- ical periods adds a factor of efficiency to those de- partments in terms of the work forces and the use of equipment which could not otherwise be had.
The steadily improving condition of the roads makes snow removal less costly in terms of time re- quired to plow a given mile and in equipment mainten- ance .
The new tractor has been a valuable asset in relieving seasonal pressures. It is used for mowing road shoulders, cleaning up the cemeteries, tree work, general loading and landscaping.
It is believed that the 1956 jeep pickup should be replaced with a new heavy duty, four wheel drive. This vehicle has gone 80,000 miles and is no longer dependable for heavy work.

The increased concern and interest of all persons with the preservation of open spaces and conservation of natural re- sources has been reflected dur- ing the year both on a national and state level with new legislation. The Wilderness Act and the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 are major pieces of conservation legislation; these along with the recent conservation message of the President to Congress attest to the awareness of the federal gov- ernment to these problems. Furthermore, in 1964 the state legislature removed the relatively low ceiling on amounts which a town can appropriate to its conservation fund, thus increasing the funds available for matching state aid on future projects.
The DiPerna land acquisition occupied much of the time of the Commission early in the year. After last year's Town Meeting, the Commission applied for, and has been successful in obtaining, federal aid for 20% of the purchase price of the DiPerna land. The Commission has also made a general survey of all open spaces in Town which was undertaken to de- termine which areas should be included in a long- range plan for the preservation of land by the Town for conservation purposes. One of the most im- portant of these is the land around Sandy Pond which for a number of years the Commission has felt should, to the extent practicable, be preserved as a centrally located town forest or town park. The Commission is working to present plans to the Town to continue the project in this area started with the Garland acquisition. The Garland project will

be completed at this year's Town Meeting with the acquisition of the final parcel.
LINCOLN LAND CONSERVATION TRUST
William M. Preston, Chairman
Abigail D. Avery, Secretary Bradford Cannon, M. D. Donald P. Donaldson Margaret Hubbard Constantin A. Pertzoff William N. Swift
The Lincoln Land Conservation Trust is a non- profit, tax-exempt organization supported by mem- bership dues and voluntary contributions, whose principal purpose is to promote the preservation of the rural character of the Town. We work closely with the Town's Conservation Commission.
During 1964 we acquired four new parcels of land amonnting to 22.5 acres, bringing our total holdings to 59 acres in ll parcels. At the end of 1964 we had 189 dues-paying members.
The Trust maintains three walking and riding trails for the use of Lincoln residents: one around Sandy Pond, one along Stony Brook, and one between Conant and Silver Hill Roads. These are des- cribed in a Trail Bulletin and shown on a Land Con- servation Map of Lincoln which can be obtained from the Trust Secretary.

The Landscape Committee acts as an advisory group to the Board of Selectmen. Most of the ad- vised work is actually carried out by Albert Brooks in his capacity as an employee of the Town. Mr. Brooks' efforts are sorely needed to make the work of this committee, of which he is a member, effective. It is of particular importance that Mr. Brooks' ef- forts for the Town be directed solely to work ad- vised by the Landscape Committee for a two-week per- iod both in spring and fall. These seasons repre- sent the only time numerous landscape jobs can be successfully performed.
Items which concerned the Landscape Committee during the past year were:
1. Improving the appearance of the triangular grass traffic island in Lincoln Center.
2. Planting in the area of the Brooks School.
3. Effective methods of controlling roadside brush.
175
PLANNING AND PUBLIC WORKS
4. Mulching of planting done during recent years.
5. The Town's need for help from individual property owners in picking up trash dropped along the roads. ( It is inter- esting to note that some have gone con- siderably further than their own proper- ty, such as Mr. George Tarbell and Mr. Charles Kindleberger. )
During 1965 the committee plans to advise on planting additions in the cemetery, see ivy estab- lished on the fire house, and have certain planting renewal in front of the Town Hall. Areas of con- tinuing major concern will be the roadsides and the school area.
CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS

A layout of part of the new section just finished is being made to provide additional lots. This section will have all monuments level with the ground. 1
The usual routine maintenance was performed during the year.
The number of interments in 1964 was 17.
The Commissioners wish to express their ap- preciation for the assistance and cooperation given them by officers and employees of the Town during the past year.

In 1964 the Lincoln Public Library contin- ued to serve the Town in an active and varied man- ner. In turn it received much valued and appre- ciated support in the form of generous and inter- esting gifts from individual citizens and from numerous town organizations that have done much to make it a more effective and attractive Lib- rary. Particularly enjoyed by all have been the flowers provided weekly by the Garden Club for the Library Circulation Desk, and for the Tarbell room by Mr. and Mrs. George G. Tarbell.
Again the Trustees wish to express appre- ciation to the many volunteers ably organized by Mrs. Charles Stevens, who contribute hours of ser- vice to the Library manning the desk, repairing books, typing, shelving books. Their contri- bution gives the Town a library service that would normally require a larger staff and a lar- ger budget.
School and Library cooperation has been an important part of the year's activity. Regular meetings have been held by the staffs of the Pub- lic Library and the Lincoln School Library, at which plans and problems have been discussed and a closer working relationship established. A comprehensive statement of policy has been drawn up for the information of the Town showing the relationships and special functions of each Li- brary.

SCHOOLS, LIBRARY & RECREATION
During National Book Week the School and Pub- lic Libraries jointly sponsored movies for children which were shown to a full house in the Public Li- brary.
Special events during the year included a popu- lar Poetry class, taught by Mrs. Warwick Field of Lincoln and meeting every other week in the Library. The proceeds from the class were most generously given to the Library for the purchase of books for the poetry collection.
In April the Friends of the Library sponsored an interesting panel discussion on Central America. The honorariums refused by the foreign students tak- ing part were used to buy books for a library of each student's country. A Nicaraguan Library has res- ponded with the gift of a book to the Lincoln Li- brary.
1964 was inventory year at the Library. Every five years the book collection is checked through completely. This year over one thousand books were discarded, and the total book collection is now 24,335. A summary of the still impressive circula- tion will be found in the Librarian's report which follows.
In March Mrs. Paul Marsh was appointed by the School Committee to a term of three years as Library Trustee.
In May the Trustees accepted regretfully the resignation of their senior member, Dr. Roland Mac- kenzie, who had served the Library so valuably for 30 years. Dr. Mackenzie became an ex-officio mem- ber of the Library Trustees in 1934 as the Chairman of the Lincoln School Committee. In 1938 he was appointed a Life Trustee succeeding Mr. John Farrar, and served in that capacity of 26 years. Mrs. De- Witt John was appointed a Life Trustee to succeed Dr. Mackenzie.
The Trustees and Library staff invite all townspeople who remember the dark and forbidding basement under the old Library building to visit it

now. It has become an integral part of our stack system, housing the book collection from 0 to 499 and the entire back periodical collection. Paint, adequate lighting, additional stacks, a study table and chairs, and a dehumidifier, have made it an at- tractive and usable area.
With the transformation of the old basement, the space to house the Library collection seems adequate for the present, and expansion into the unfinished new basement room can be deferred to a future year.

PROGRAMS
Recreation programs sponsored by the Committee
were: men's softball, men's and boys' basketball, adult tennis tournament, summer playground, chil- dren's tennis and swimming, skiing and skating.
Softball
The softball league consisted of six teams: North Lincoln, Tower Road, Regionals, Nike Base, Fire and Police, and Geophysics. The withdrawl of the Geophysics after the season's start made room for a teenage group which competed creditably with their elders during the remainder of the schedule.
Forty-five games were played during the regular season from May 3 to July 29. Four additional play - off games completed the season during the first week of August. The North Lincoln Bearcats won the pennant and the playoffs.
John W. Fisher serves as softball commissioner.
SUMMER PLAYGROUND
Personnel. Emmett "Pete" Ingersoll directed
the program. Assisting him as senior leaders were: Alfred Callahan, Frances O. Cibel, Susan Filene, Rosebud Holland, Martha Lee Koenig, Janet A. 01m- sted, Richard W. Pleshaw, Sharon S. Schaefer, Richard E. Whitaker. In charge of tennis was Chloe Bous- caren, assisted by James Miser.
Serving as Program Aide Trainees were: Janet A. Chisholm, Bruce Foust, Kathryn Grason, Charles Hagen- ian, Reta Mickle, John O'Brien, Susan Rice, Cathy

Activities. Themes for each of the five playground weeks were: American Revolution, Goldrush, Centennial, Holiday and Fantasy. Of particular success were: Barter Day of Goldrush Week, Christmas Day of Holiday Week, the operetta "Kris Kringle", and the parody of "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs", by the older boys.
Special events included the stagemobile per- formances of "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" and "Jack and the Beanstalk", baseball games with Ashland and Weston, bike hikes to Sudbury and to the Concord Bridge, a family night for parents, siblings and rel- atives, a sleep out for girls, Wednesday cookouts, the Fourth of July parade, and a special day for pre- ៛ kindergarteners.
Auto mechanics instruction took place on two cars, manual training was offered to both boys and girls, and a regular weekly newspaper, "The Play- ground Press" carried articles, essays, poems, cross- word puzzles, biographical sketches, drawings, and schedules prepared by children and staff.
The arts and crafts program made use of such media as papier mache, plaster, clay, plastic, rocks, wood, straws, potatoes, wire, copper, blueprint paper, chalk, gimp, and paint. Projects included masks, animals, piggy banks, jewelry, collages, sculptures, mobiles, head bands, hats, lanyards and puppets.
A special program for the older youths (6th grade and up), known as the OYGS, was planned by the participants with the assistance of leaders. The OYGS met in a classroom that developed into a club- like atmosphere.
Playground attendance was as~follows: Ist
week - 287; 2nd week - 230; 3rd week - 220; 4th week - 195; 5th week - 169.
The swimming program was divided this year in- to two four-week sessions with a quota of 200 chil- dren for the first and 80 for the second. Coordina- ted by the Concord Red Cross and the Walden District

SCHOOLS, LIBRARY & RECREATION
Water Safety Council, classes at Walden Pond were held for beginners, intermediates, swimmers, junior life savers, and senior life savers.
Mrs. Arlene Wirsig was in charge of the summer playground and was assisted by Jane Butler, Joan Og- den and Nancy Outten. Mrs. Flo Caras organized the swimming schedule; Mrs. Nancy Butler supervised transportation and instruction.
TENNIS
One hundred and twenty-eight (128) children participated in the tennis program sponsored by the Lincoln Recreation Committee. This program was made available to Lincoln children, fifth through twelfth grades. ton Tennis Test as previously done in 1963 and were placed in three groups: beginners, intermediates, and advanced.
The children were given the Leigh-
Teams were again organized for Junior and Senior boys for the New England Junior Tennis League and Senior girls for the Junior Wightman Cup League. The very successful Parent-Child Round Robin contest was also repeated this year. Due to an untimely auto accident in the latter part of July, our tennis instructor, Miss Chloe Buscaren, was unable to return to the program. With the help of Bert Kessel and other members of the tennis committee, James Miser ably carried the pro- gram through its final two weeks.
Mrs. Virginia Niles and Mrs. Isabel Farley were responsible for the organization and conduct of the children's tennis activities.
The tennis courts were more intensively used this year than ever before, and if the interest and growth continue, the town may wish to consider add- ing two more courts in a few years.
The adult fall tournament had nearly 150 en- trants. Winners were: Men's Singles - Duncan Nelson; Men's Doubles - James Miser and Frederick Walkey;
185
SCHOOLS, LIBRARY & RECREATION
Mixed Doubles - Tolly Lundquist and Frederick Walkey; Ladies' Singles - Marcia Roehr; Ladies' Doubles - Judith Emmons and Sally Jackson.
The Clinic and Demonstration on July 4th featured four nationally ranked junior players from various parts of the U. S. The arrangements for this event were made by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Soule.
The Committee wishes to thank all the towns- people who worked diligently maintaining the courts. These courts are as good as any in Massachusetts and are kept that way through the voluntary labor of the users.
BASKETBALL
The basketball program for fifth through twelfth grade boys began on December 12th and contin- ues throughout the winter on Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. George Saia, physical educator in the Lincoln school system, is in charge, and is assisted by John Fisher, James Miser, Robert Nelson and David Palmer.
The men's basketball program meets Monday evenings at 7:30.
Walter I. Keyes and Albert E. Nelson are res- ponsible for organizing both programs.
ICE SKATING
The skating pond in Pierce Park has been com- pleted and is in use by children and adults.
The project was engineered by the Federal Soil Conservation Service which met with Recreation Com- mittee members Charles E. Jennings and Walter I. Keyes in the planning stages and also supervised the construction of the pond. A large share of the credit for this project belongs to Warren Flint, who coordinated the complete project and wisely guided it throughout.
A committee composed of Ann Bastress, John Garrison, Charles E. Jennings, Robert Niles, and Mary Lou Wollmar have been working on the organization of activities and maintenance for the skating facility.

SKIING
Two hundred and twenty-five (225) children registered on January 6th for the four-week ski school to be conducted on successive Wednesdays, 1:45 to 3 p.m., on DeNormandie's Hill, Trapelo Road.
Mrs. Christopher VanCuran directs the ski school and is assisted by Briar Roberts and 32 moth- ers who receive their instruction on Wednesday morn- ings.
Coordinating the ski program is Mrs. William B. Butler, assisted by Mrs. Stanley S. Wirsig.
RECREATION SURVEY
A questionnaire to determine the recreation interests, needs and skills of children and adults in Lincoln was developed and distributed by the Rec- reation Committee. 320 forms have been returned and are in the process of being tabulated.
The results of the tabulation will be dis- cussed with the Selectmen and the Land Use Committee followed by a series of public hearings.
WALDEN DISTRICT WATER SAFETY COUNCIL
Lincoln maintains a membership in the Council along with Hanscom Field and the towns of Acton, Bed- ford, Boxboro, Carlisle, Concord and Sudbury. Organ- ized in 1962 the Council has as its purpose the pro- motion, regulation and supervision of water safety programs for the member towns at Walden Pond.
Formerly subsidized and administered by the American Red Cross, Concord Chapter, the Water Safety Program at Walden Pond is now conducted by the Coun- cil which receives its authority from the Middlesex County Commissioners. Beginning with the summer of 1965, each town will be responsible for a portion of the cost of program including instructors' salaries, equipment and supplies, according to its population. Lincoln has a tentative allotment of 325 children for the first session scheduled for June 28 through July 23.
Mrs. William H. Butler, Jr. and J. Bertram Kes- sel are Lincoln's representatives to the Council. .

SCHOLARSHIP FUND COMMITTEE
Annette E. Gras Charles W. Calkins, Jr. Robert L. Filbin, ex-officio John D. Crawford, Chairman
"How does the Scholarship Committee operate?" is a question often asked of Committee members. Basically, the Committee administers the Scholar- ship Fund, a Town Trust Fund established in 1954 "to aid deserving Lincoln children to continue their formal education beyond high school". In practice, this involves many questions of policy. Who are "deserving" ? How many should be aided? How
much aid should be given?
It is the Committee's belief that every student with the ability and desire to continue his education should have the opportunity to do so. For many, there is no difficulty. For some, dif- ficulties are eased because of outstanding academ- ic achievement. For others, however, higher edu- cation requires a real sacrifice, on the part of the family, the student, or both. It is to the latter group that the Committee feels the greater responsibility.
Lincoln scholarships are awarded only to those who apply. Finding that many students were unaware of this opportunity, the Committee in 1964 distributed application forms to all Lincoln seniors at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. As in the past, forms were also available at the school offices. Eight students, a record number, applied, one of whom was already in his freshman year at college.
The application forms themselves were de- signed to provide both the Committee and the stu- dent with a realistic picture of the student's total needs and available resources as well as his academic preparation. Personal interviews, per- haps the pleasantest of the Committee's duties, and contacts with friends and teachers suggested by the
188
SCHOOLS, LIBRARY & RECREATION
student, help form an evaluation of that "serious- ness of purpose" which the Committee looks for in every applicant.
Actual granting of awards, of course, is de- pendent on the Committee's available resources, which, in turn, depend upon the generous support of the townspeople.
The Scholarship Fund has grown each year, with the help of individual gifts, and organized benefits such as the 4-H Club Horse Show, entertain- ments put on by the LSA, and the delightful plays presented in the spring of 1964 by the 8th grade. Another source of income is the 4th of July parking fees, collected by young volunteers. Still anoth- er is the interest from the Fund's capital reserves, begun and augmented by special gifts and carefully managed by the Town Commissioners of Trust Funds.
