We recommend the adoption of the article.

We do not recommend the adoption of this article due to the expense in- volved. However, we have no objection to the publication of the valuations and recommend that the Assessors furnish a list of the valuations and have them published through the local newspaper.
Article 19. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Moderator to ap- point a committee of five members to investigate and study the need and the location for a branch fire station in the so-called Linebrook Parish Section of the Town or in any other proper area which would afford greater fire protection to the rural areas of the Town, and provide the sum of $300.00 by appropriation or transfer for the use of said committee in the performance of their study.
We recommend adoption of this article and that the sum of $1.00 be appropriated.

The Finance Committee recommends that the amount to be approriated for Capital Expenditures be taken from Surplus Revenue, and that the sum of $3,843.52 be taken from the Boiler Replacement in Manual Art School and that the sum of $395.00 be taken from the Manning School Grading for the replace- ment of a boiler in the Shatswell School.
Article 13. To see if the Town will accept the provisions of Chapter 401 of the Acts of 1956 which provides that Civilian Defense volunteers will be classified as employees of the Town and under the provisions of General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 5, (1) and Chapter 41, Section 100A which relates to claims arising out of automobile accidents when operated within the scope of their authority.
We recommend the adoption of the article.
Article 14. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Selectmen to sell and to execute a deed on behalf of the Town of Ipswich for land comprising of ap- proximately 19,950 square feet lying Southeasterly of Little Neck Road and ad- Jacent to Little Neck Cove.
We recommend the adoption of this article.
Article 15. To see if the Town will vote to purchase a parcel of land belonging to Andrew and Viola Gianakakis and located on the Southwesterly side of Hign Street comprising of about 8 acres and adjacent to the Baroway property, so called.
We recommend indefinite postponement.
Article 16. To hear and act upon the reports of committees and to continue such committees as the Town may vote to continue.
No recommendation necessary.
Article 17. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to grant a permit to the Ipswich Post No. 80, the American Legion, to display or cause to be displayed, fireworks, especially aerial fireworks, at their annual car- nival to be held some time during the month of July, 1957, at the Linebrook Playground, a Town owned property.

We do not recommend the adoption of this article due to the expense in- volved. However, we have no objection to the publication of the valuations and recommend that the Assessors furnish a list of the valuations and have them published through the local newspaper.
Article 19. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Moderator to ap- point a committee of five members to investigate and study the need and the location for a branch fire station in the so-called Linebrook Parish Section of the Town or in any other proper area which would afford greater fire protection to the rural areas of the Town, and provide the sum of $300.00 by appropriation or transfer for the use of said committee in the performance of their study.
We recommend adoption of this article and that the sum of $1.00 be appropriated.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE CANDIDATES
For Three Year Term
(Two Vacancies)
ISADORE L. L. SMITH (Mrs. A. W. Smith), Argilla Road - Age 55
Portsmouth, N. H. public schools, National Cathedral School, Smith College B.A., courses at Columbia.
Ran a small importing business for one year. Served on committees and boards for : education, recreation, conservation, family welfare, and youth counseling in Ipswich, Boston and New York. Served one year on the Ipswich School Committee. If I am re-elected I hope, first, to see double sessions ended, ambitious pupils and teachers given adequate space and time, and transportation fairly and smoothly planned. Studying science and history should be encouraged, especially with reference to material available locally. I hope to see a "wild area" of town land designated an outdoor school laboratory for the supervised study of: conserva- tion, geology, geography, biology and ecology - or man in relation to his environment - as is being done in towns less naturally well endowed than Ipswich. For success, the schools must study the town, and the town the schools.
JAMES MARSH, 23 High Street, Age 62
A.B. Boston University, A.M. Columbia University.
Business : Industrial engineer.
I believe in schools controlled by the people. I believe there is a pressing need for the people to look more carefully at everything professional educators pro- pose for our schools. I do not believe we hire them to try out their personal theories or to experiment with the young. They are hired to communicate to children basic knowledge, the three R's, language, and to develop mind as a tool. This is a full-time job and enough for them to attempt. I believe the chief duty of the school board is to see that this job is well done.
GUY A. B. REEDY, 25 Kimball Avenue, - Age 48
Attended local schoo's, Dean Academy and Lowell Technological Institute. Employed in heavy construction industry. Member School Building Committee. If elected I would try to solve the problem of the double sessions within the present school structure.
I sincerely believe that so called "progressive education" is not only hindering the education of our children, but actually resulting in unnecessarily high taxation.
In my opinion our local educational policy is lacking in quality and direction. The Ipswich schools are undertaking a large number of activities that are not essential to education at all and I think these should be discontinued.
