15. FRANKLIN COUNTY Elderly Center May Divide Study Groups GREENFIELD A Council for the Aging meeting for Tuesday could wind up in a divided hassle, or it could finish with all subcommittees going in the same direction. The lit-direction problem came up when a site subgroup, seeking a location for a drop in in center, outdistanced a second group studying need and Federal Aid The site committee has figures, data, and a site in Federal St. and the Greenfield area Jaycees have voluntered to fix up the center for use, and that committee intends to push for action in the Oct. 2 special town meeting to get the center open.
The second committee is looking into a methods of combining the center, with the meals on wheels program. an aid referral service, a visiting service for shut-ins, adult, educational and hobby programs and a social security and Medicare information type center. The group has asked for a slow-down in opening of the center until the program is ready, in hopes of getting federal aid for operating of the programs. The site group however feels them town will have to provide facilities anyway, even with federal operating funds. and if the center is opened, it may aid study and development of programs, since it will give a downtown central location for elderly persons to meet with program planners.
All committees are agreed on the need and desire for a site. The question now boils down to whether initial action will come in October, or next March. Chairman of Selectmen Matthew E. O'Neil, also on the site committee, stated his position flatly by noting, "The best way to kill a program is to put it off for more study."

Between the Lines Fleet High School Stars Missing at Fair Today By RALPH E. GORDON Union Staff Writer GREENFIELD There no track meet at the fair this morning, and thus Youth Day loses a lot of its flavor. The official reason is that the Headmasters' Association would not permit the events because la lack of time for training.
But we'd like to submit that to the kids it wouldn't really matter if the fatest and heaviest, most awkward boys in the school were wearing the colors, just so long as there was some fast- paced competition to cheer about. Fair officials note glumly that "this has been coming a long and have tried substitute a driving roadeo for the meet. But while the skill driving de event may hold a few hundred faithful from the various schools, it has none of the dash and flare of runners heading for the wire, wearing the green or blue or red, of your school, whether they run the 100 in ten seconds flat, or 30 seconds goflat out. May we suggest that if the headmasters won't sanction an let the student councils round up a bunch of boys from each school, with a proviso that none of them be regular track team members and let them run the dashes, and mid dashes, and throw the shot, discus and javelin. The vault would have to be eliminated, but the high jumps could be replaced with both a running and standing broad jump.
And to wind up the event. hold a cross country race, with without headmasters' sanction, since it fall sport, anyone run who wants to, and have it finish at fairgrounds. Like we, said, the kids won't really care if any records are set or broken, and you can't beat the thrill of your school nosing out your biggest rivals, whether its by a nose or a tummy. One of the more interesting displays in the roundhouse this year is from the Warwick Forestry Camp, a minimum ity camp in the state's prison system.

A popular booth in the 'Dole Building is the golf pitching game of Western Massachusetts Electric Co. Golfers are to try their hand. One gal who never played golf got her first shot right in the bull's eye, and barely missed her second shot. Her third was a good old fashioned duff, but she won her "swinger" button. Fair Vice President Gil Knapp was all smiles about the crowd on hand for Saturday night's demolition derby.
But after watching the first slam, bang, smash "that heap, would he be a allowed great event for fathers to work off the day's frustrations." A sign near the Clapp's powcr equipment booth just outside the Dole Building says "think You gussed it, they sell snowblowers and ski mobile machines.
