Enough dough & two nurses too

Crusaders leave Wednesday for P. E. I.

Egg tossing is a precarious sport

It was quite an achievement. In fact, it is almost a miracle.

A few weeks ago it seemed that the Wilmington Crusaders would not be able to finance a trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada. They had been invited to take part in an Old Home Week celebration by the Charlottetown Chamber of Commerce.

Four thousand dollars was needed. The kids were working hard, but 14,000 was a long way off.

This paper published an editorial comment to the effect, and the businessmen and people of

Wilmington rallied to the cause. Not that the Crusaders stopped working, for they didn't, but that they suddenly had a lot of friends.

The people of Wilmington proved that they could support a group of young people who were hard working clean living youngsters. Hun- dreds of dollars poured in to the Crusaders coffers, money every week.

They still need a few more dollars - they aren't quite up to the $4000 mark, as of this writing.

But. 60 Crusaders will be leaving next Wednesday, for P.E.I. Thev

will meet at the VFW Hall, and at 7 p.m. they will board buses in the Weinberg Parking Lot.

There will be 12 chaperones in the two Trombley coaches and there will be two Registered Nurses, Mrs. Theresa Bresnahan of Wakefield and Mrs Cleo Bickford of Wightman Road, South Tewksbury.

The-Crusaders should arrive at Charlottetown about noon, on Thursday, after a 45 minute ride on the Canadian National ferry from Cape Tormentine. New Brunswick.

WORKING AT THE QUALITY CAR WASH: Last Saturday. Some of the Crusaders worked all day, for a share in the receipts of the Main Street place of business. They washed windows inside, and polished cars outside.

CHAMPION EGG THROWER: Mrs. Shirley DeFelice (top right) outlasted all other contestants in the Lions Club egg-tossing contest. At bottom right, Rocco DePasquale shows a form that works fine for eggs - he came in second. Joe Medico (bottom left) hauled in a short pass. Joe's daughter, Lucille Clark (top left) didn't stop the egg, but later it exploded when husband Doug tossed it despite a crack. In the center, a continental style of egg catching is shown by Axelle Wurmser, visiting from France.

The contest was part of the Lions Club annual picnic, held Saturday night at Joe ArJp's home on Main Street.

structed the Town Counsel and At- ty. Joseph "Courtney to try to settle out of court the longstanding dis- pute about the gravel operations off Aldrich Road, Wilmington.

Town Counsel Alan Altman had gone to court following instruc- tions from the Board of Selectmen to take legal steps to prevent the removal of gravel from the Aldrich Road site. Altman had a feeling that the case "was sort of gray." but hoped the Clerk of the Court would issue a ruling which would make it "black and white." This the Clerk of the Court did not do.

So Mr. Altman sought further in- structions from the Board of Selectmen. He asked for a Special Meeting with the Selectmen, for Tuesday evening.

Tuesday evening only Danny Gillis was present. He had come up from Cape Cod, to discuss the case. v

One selectman, Mr. Boylen, is in New Hampshire. The others are in Wilmington.

Mr. Gillis, who wants to pursue the case further, was alone Mon- day night.

Rep. Fred F. Cain laughs at it now. but painfully. He was in an accident two weeks ago, on Route 93. southbound, in New Hampshire. It was the kind of accident that people don't get into. Fred landed in Mass General, with a compressed disc in his backbone: quite painful.

He and Mrs. Cain were driving south. A heavy rain was falling. It was a situation in which yon follow the car ahead. and hope that everyone is taking precautions. Kveryone was driving at about 50 miles an hour, and it was dangerous to change speed.

Ahead of him Fred could see a red light, from another car. and he followed it. keeping in relative position As long as I follow that car. he figured. I will be safe.

But the lead car ended up in the median strip, and so did Rep. Cain.

Going into a median strip at 50 miles an hour isn't fun.

Mr Cain's car was not scratch- ed, but he suffered compression to his backbone, and Mrs. Cain an injury to her cheek

In Mass General everything became typically Fred Cain. His

back hurt, but he had things to do. A telephone was installed by his bedside, and* it wasn't there for decorative purposes.

Cain was put in a corset, to help his backbone along. He stood the pain, and after about five or six days he had to get out of the hospital

Now he is back at his office, every day. or at the State House. He moves around gingerly The back still hurts.

He is working, and that, to Fred Cam is the main thing. Saturday he will be host to the Democratic cookout. in the Fred Cain parking lot The reader can bet there will be no back-clapping with Fred Cain, this year.

IT IS NOT EASY TO MOVE: With a compressed disc.

The bill which was filed in the state house at the request of the Town of Wilmington, to permit Robert J. Andersen of School Street to take an examination for policeman has been heard, by committee.

The Committee on Public Ser- vice turned in an unfavorable report. The report was made by

chairman Andrew H. Card, Jr., of Holbrook.

Wilmington's Rep. Fred Cain then took up the matter, in debate. Cain told the House that the bill had been submitted only after Mr. Andersen had received the necessary number of signatures, and only after a favorable vote in the Wil lining ton Town Meeting.

Mr. Cain was sustained by a ten to one standing vote. The bill is scheduled to receive its Third Reading today, in the House of Representatives. Mr. Cain does not anticipate any further dif- ficulties in the House. "N

After passage in the House the bill must still receive a favorable vote in the Massachusetts Senate.

Pilot was suicide

was aimed at Curran home T»V pilot who was killed, Sun-

day, in a Wilmington plane crash at the corner of Shady Lane Drive and Lawrence Street had a suicide note in his pocket. The note was found by the coroner. Dr. Devlin, in an examination of the body after the crash.

Consciously or unconsciously that pilot had aimed his plane at the home of the Michael B Curran family of Lawrence Street, in the last few seconds of his life.

There is a sturdy white oak tree, in back of the Lawrence Grover home, next door. That tree is well into its second century. The branches, eight and-ten inches thick, are well up in the tree.

That oak was literally a life saver for the Curran family. The plane's wing struck it, at 3:55 pm Sunday, just at the time of the first out. in the ninth inning of the Red Sox game. That crash probably killed the pilot, and it did deflect the plane, so that it missed the Curren home.

The plane was a World War II Army Trainer, known to many as an AT 6, and to veterans of the Army Air Corps as a Texan. It had been rebuilt, and had flown out of Bedford Airport only a short while before.

Middlesex County Coroner Dr. Devlin found a small note, in the effects of the pilot, which in- dicated that suicide was on his mind when he took off, in that plane, Sunday. Alexander Dyko, a machinist, 45 years old, of Bel mont had been flying the rebflilt trainer around indecisively for over fifteen minutes when he finally crashed into that oak tree.

The Burlington Police logged four telephone calls that he had been flying around low, in that town. The last was at 3:50 p.m. when he was reported heading toward Wilmington. They notified the Wilmington police.

Barbara Bertwell Cook, down at the Bertwell place on Chestnut Street saw the plane flying overhead, low and with engine sputtering.

Soon afterward Francis Downs, Superintendent of Parks noted it flying over the Town Park. Downs had two of his sons with him, and one of them related that the plane dived down, and then recovered and flew off.

Julia Fielding, on Butters Row, saw the plane, and noted that it was both low and that the engine

was sputtering. Hayward Bliss, on Glen Road,

saw the plane fly over his home.in a northeast direction. It dis- appeared behind some trees. A few minutes later he could hear the crash, as the plane struck the oak tree and continued onward.

Possibly, in those few moments, it had been up over Corum Village, for there were reports of this. But the plane, when it struck that oak, was flying nearly due east.

The pilot was not a former Wilmington resident, and as far as is known there was no reason why he should pick the Curran home as a target. He could have achieved his purpose just as well by diving into Silver Lake.

When he struck that oak tree he splintered a part, of into splinters, match stick size. The right wing

struck those big branches, and, torn off. the plane, flipped over into the Curran yard. A two year old son. seated in the back yard, was only a few yards away from that wing when it landed.

Diverted slightly to the right but continuing on without much loss of speed, the plane struck a large pine tree in the Curran yard. It splintered some substantial branches. Part of the debris from the original encounter with the oak tree continued on in a straight path, and smashed the upstairs window in the Curran home.

On across Lawrence Street the plane continued, the pilot probably dead. It demolished a fence around the swimming pool of the Jack Collins home, and struck the apron

Plane Crash From Page Seven

at the easterly corner of that pool. Then it flipped over, turning

somersault as it passed over Shady Lane Drive, to land upside down in the yard of the James O'Donoghue family, at 74 Lawrence Street.

Both the Collins family and the O'Donoghue family escaped death or serious injury by small frac- tions of time.

Collins told the Town Crier that he had been seated on a cot, at the easterly corner of the pool. Collins went into the house, and fifteen seconds later the plane struck the swimming pool, and demolished both fence and cot. Collins hasn't seen the cot since.

The plane bounced, and the other wing shook off and landed in the street. It turned over in mid air as it passed over Shady Lane Drive, and landed upside down in the O'Donoghue yard.

Joan O'Donoghue had been in the yard with her children, cooking

marshrnallows at an outdoor barbecue. It was a play area for the children.

Only minutes before the plane crash everyone had gone inside.

There were two cars in the yard. One. a beachwagon. was complete- ly destroyed, when struck by the plane. The beachwagon bumped into and badly damaged a second car.

Spilled gasoline, over a con- siderable area, burned, but the O'Donoghue home was untouched.

Police response The Wilmington Police and Fire

Departments were quickly on the scene, and a few minutes later Tewksbury police were at the en- trances to Shady Lane Drive, and to Lawrence Street, turning away the hundreds of,cars. Chief of Police Paul Lynch was sort of proud of the way that Tewksbury came in to help. "That's Mutual Aid," he said.

The Wilmington Police had their hands full, at the scene. Hundreds of persons walked down Shady

THE PLACE WHERE THE COT WAS: Young Jack Collins is standing at the Collins swimming pool, where the plane landed and bounced. The cot that his father was using was at that spot. It just plain dis- appeared in the accident.

Parts of the plane can be seen in the swimming pool, and the earphones used by the pilot, although not visible, are in the line with the fire engine.

Police cop watermelon race Over 800 boys and girls attended

the third Annual Beach Day which saw the Police Association team win the greased watermelon race over 11 other quartets.

A fun-filled day of swimming, chess, checkers, volleyball, horseshoes, tug-owar, sand castle sculpture was had by all in the Police Association sponsored event for the Recreation Depart- ment playground.

The Police Department provided a free lunch consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers, soda pop, potato chips, pickles and ice cream to all the boys and girls along with the parents present.

The Swain girls and Woburn St. boys won the swimming events in the day long affair at Silver Lake.

THERE WAS NOTHING FISHY ABOUT THE SHARK: At Silver Lake last Thursday, and that was the problem. Despite his best swimming efforts, lifeguard Jay Dizzacomo failed to convince anyone that the black fin in the water was that of a shark. By the time he waded ashore, few people were paying attention. His finny venture was in- tended to clear the water for the greased watermelon race, but con- ventional methods proved more effective.
