AID TO AGRICULTURE TRUSTEES' REPORT (Cont.)
Their agents have made contacts during the past year in every community either by public meetings, individual visits, group dis- cussions, demonstrations or otherwise in attempting to assist the needs of the citizens toward better business, better living and better community service and have been ably assisted by hundreds of local volunteer leaders to this end.
In Wilbraham the following citizens have been of real assistance in promoting such assigned projects as have been conducted during the year: Mrs. Irving Agard, Jr., Mrs. Stephanie Decorie, Mrs. Thomas B. Ervin, Mrs. Weldon Fellows, Edwin Fife, Mrs. Herman Grandchamp, Mrs. Ivan Hackney, Joyce Hackney, Mrs. A. H. Howes, Mrs. John Hunter, Mrs. James J. Ingraham, Ernest Le Vasseur, Mrs. Edward J. Luff, Mrs. Mildred Manning, Mrs. Warren Reddish, Mrs. June Rice, Wayne Rice, Lucien Riendeau, Mrs. Charles J. Smith, Jr., Mrs. Gilbert Stacy and Edmond Trombley.
A total expense of $106.97 was incurred during the year for either travel or purchase of material needed in carrying on the various projects by the local leaders. The appropriation made by your town was used by the agents of the Trustees for only residents of your town.
