A Boy Fishing (Pillings Pond, Lynnfield)
This, too - is part of growing up. He stands With sun-bleached hair and wind-bronzed face - soft grass Beneath his feet - tall pines before his eyes. He casts his line - and watches as the moments pass.
The pond is smooth beneath the sun until He feels sharp tugging on his line - swift joy At pulling up a flash of silver, now - The first fish caught by one young growing boy.

ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
I have examined the cash receipts and securities in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Treasurer and find them to be as stated in the Treasurer's Report.
The income from Trust Funds in the hands of others have been received for the year 1952 and credited to the proper accounts. The receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books and that payments of the Town correctly present the finan- cial status as of December 31, 1952.
I wish at this time to extend my sincere thanks to the Hon- orable Board of Selectmen, Town Officers and employees, the Town Report Committee and all others who have co-operated very willingly in compiling this Town Report.
Respectfully submitted,
Theodore C. Palizzolo Town Accountant
