WHERE THE BUCK MONEY WAS How much money did Frank

Farrell find? He Isn't telling, but there is a twinkle In his eye, and he says it is a secret between himself and the bank.

It was Mrs Farrell who found it - the ancient secret of Bejna- mln Buck, who was the financier to the Town of Wilmington and anyone else who wanted to borrow money, back about the time of the Civil War.

Barbara Lord Farrell was busy cleaning one of the ancient chestnut beams, framework for the three century old house, when a portion on one of the beams moved slightly under the pressure of her hand.

And Frank Farrell did a little prying, and found the place where Benjamin Buck put his money.

When the Selectmen of Wilming- ton needed money, during the Civil War they borrowed it from Benja- min - $1,000 at a time.

When the Congregational Church steeple blew down In 1876 it was Benjamin Buck who loaned the church $5000 to rebuild the steeple.

And when Benjamin died, In 1885, and his nephew John Henry Buck Inherited the house, there was no money. John Henry lived in penury. Frank Farrell knows why.

IPs Just like the old fairy tales of long ago - or something out of a modern mystery story - a secret panel In an ancient beam.

The Farrell family bought the old homestead, which dates back to 1671 or 1672, last summer, and since then have been rebuilding and repairing.

It was scheduled to be demo- lished because it would cost too much to repair. To replace the rotting beams, under the house, would cost thousands of dollars,

WHERE THE MONEY WAS: Frank Farrell points to the hiding place for the Buck Money. The boards were made of chestnut, and the hiding place looks like any of the many chestnut beams in the old Buck homestead.

With Your Servicemen

Fred Shine, of Grove Avenue, delivers the mall.

Well, not exactly, but In a sense. Fred is stationed on board the Fleet Oiler USS Mattaponi, and his ship Is the one that delivers the fuel oil to the ships on Yankee Station, off Vietnam.

And when the Mataponl sails off to deliver fuel oil it also takes along the mall tor the - ships it Is going to service.

One of the ships it recently ser- viced was the Battleship New jersey, on which Raymond Mahoney, who used to work in the trl Town gas station is a Firemen. The two men didn't even know they were so close - and yet perhaps so far away.

Fred has written a letter saying that one time while the Mattaponi was delivering fuel to the Cruiser Boston a rocket was fired from shore, and the Boston, which Is a rocket-cruiser. Just simply plas- tered the beach with rockets In return. The New Jersey was near- by at the time.

Another time, Fred says, his ship had to go into DaNang, with a hospital case. About three dozen escorts formed up, and protected the Mattaponi, as It drew close to shore. It was quite Impressive!

Richard Cornish was recently

promoted to the rank of SP 5, In ceremonies held near the Tan Son Nhut Air Base, In Vietnam.

Cornish is the son of Mr and Mrs Perclval Cornish of 4 Central Street.

He Is a Combat Supply Special- ist with the 1st Battalion, 505th Infantry, of the 3rd Brigade, 82nd Air Borne Division, which is cur- rently conducting search and des- troy operations In the swamp and rice paddy districts northwest of Saigon. His duties Include the supervision of the battalion's heli- copter pad, as weU as responsibility for the flow of supplies to the combat area.

Before going to Vietnam last July Cornish served for *?»ree years In Germany with the C 0th Artillery, as a repair specialist tor the Army's Hawk Missiles. He hopes to return to Germany, tor another three year tour, after rotating from Vietnam.

In his tour years of service Cornish has been awarded the Good Conduct Medal, the* Army Commendation Medal, and the Bronze Star Medal for service.

Barney (Red) Solow, a career man in the US Air Force, has left for duty in South Dakota, with his wife. Before he left he bought a trailer. In which to live off base.

Barney has Just returned (Dec 18th) from a year In Vietnam.

And he'll be In the Air Force for many years yet. He loves It.

120 DAY DELAY FOR ENLISTMENT

Under the 120 Day Delay Pro- gram, the Navy has been autho- rized to enlist qulaifled young men and give them up to 120 days to report tor active duty.

The delay time prior to re- porting to active duty counts toward completion of military obligation, builds longevity tor pay purposes and affords tour months' seniority prior to entering recruit training. No attendance at drills or mee- tings Is required during the wait- ing period.

If you are presently a High School Senior, you can enlist In the Navy as early as March 1969 and report tor active duty after Graduation.

For further Information on this program or any other program of- fered by the Navy, drop In to see the Navy Recruiter at the Post Office Building, on Mer- rlmack St in Loweel, or call him tor an appointment at 452-0511.

Dear Larz, I think I have a lair sense of

humor so I am trying very hard to find the Joke In Mr. Chandler presentation. What I thought i heard was a fellow human, with a soul like mine, with the same hopes and aspirations as mine pleading Indeed, demanding that they be recongnlzed as were mine. Like yourself, I felt thai some of the points of Mr Chandler's talk might have been historically Inaccurate He did not, however, come among us primarily to teach history. He came to bring a message of suf- fering, brutal treatment, and con- tempt of bis people by ours, not In Zululand, but In America. Can we deny this?

He came to hold up a mirror, so that we might see ourselves as the black man sees us. The mor- ror»s view, was an ugly one. The words used were harsh. The tra- gedy is that we whites of Wil- mington didn't care enough to listen.

The blacks of the town, the few we have tolerated, did not have to come to find out what it is really like. THEY KNOW!

Yet, percentage wise, lias many whites came as did blacks, the hall would have been filled to capacity I feel grateful that among those mat do care were some of our teachers.

Perhaps, as Mr Chandler pointed out, hope lies hi our children and guided by teachers dedicated as are these, the hope will be rea- lized.

If there Is anything funny In all of this, I fall to see It. I pray only that some day, the black man and the white man can laugh together rather than the one have the last laugh on the other.

Sincerely, Leo G. Barry

'Further Study' Voted for Water Impoundment Areas

Mrs Madeline McKle, Chalrlady of the Wilmington Planning Board, was congratulated last week by both the Wllmlngtn BoardofSelectmen and by Professor Charles Eliot, consultant to the Planning Board, for her work with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, relative to a proposal to impound water in Wilmington, as a reservior for other communities.

She succeeded In getting the MAPC to vote for 'Further Study' rather than to just accept the proposed plan. Professor Eliot said she did It very nicely, and further noted that Immediately prior to her motion one made by the City Manager of Cambridge had lost.

It was the City Manager of Cam- bridge who had seconded the motion of Mrs. McKle.

Following Is a copy of the report which Mrs. McKle gave to the Board of Selectmen of Wilmington.

REPORT OF MAPC MEETING DECEMBER 12, 1968

The full Council of the MAPC met at 1 pm on December 12, 1968 at Phllometla Hall, Boston College, Newton. The following action was voted by the Council Members:

reservations mentioned in the report which he felt were in con- flict or In a questlonalbe status regarding programs presently undertaken by his department. Mr Straw of the MDC noted that nowhere in the report was the source of monies discussed. Se- veril representatives of towns remarked that some of the areas proposed for preservation has been partially developed and added that the longer acquisition was de- layed the more costly the program would be.

Mr Davidson, Executive Di- rector of the MAPC spoke on costs of the program. He said that this could be considered a 10- year 320 million dollar program. Realistically be felt It would not be completed within the 10 year period, but felt that the Council should aim for this time schedule

The representatives of several towns felt that the report was not specific enough to vote on at this time.

Mr Bates, TAC Chairman, moved adoption, acceptance and recommendation of the general policies of the report.

Mr. Sullivan, City Manager of Cambridge, moved to refer the report tor further study. Mr Sullivan was concerned about the recommendatlos of the report concerning the Cambridge water supply. The motion was lost.

Mrs McKle, of Wilmington, moved to amend the original motion by adding the words, 'with the provision that the recom- mendations contained in the report with respect to Impoundment areas In Wilmington be subject to further study, review and redefi- nition.' She explained that she had discussed the report briefly with the Town Manager, but felt It was too ambiguous to bring to the attention of the Selectmen. She felt that since Wilmington had exempted Itself from Impoundment areas under the provisions of the Ipswich River Commission, It was mandatory that she ask the taff to re-examine the areas proposed tor Impoundment with the officials of the Town. The motion carried

Mr. Quill, Pembroke, moved to amend by asking more study on reservation In that town. Profes- sor Eliot moved that Cambridge be added to this amendment. For considerable discussion, the motion carried. Following this the main motion was voted and passed and the meeting was ad-

TOWN CRIER OF WILMINGTON - DEC 26. 1968

The Service Warehouse Story It Isn't often that a firm seeks

to locate In a position where Its main building will be In two different towns or cities.

Such a position means addition- al headaches, taxes to two towns, etc etc

Yet this Is what the Service Warehouse did, when It built in Wilmington last summer. Part of the main building Is in Wil- mington, and part of it Is in An- dover.

There was a good reason. Les- lie Morash, president of the company wanted to be located in this town, and he wanted a railroad siding too. In order to get what he wanted he had to locate in two towns.

But the company Is unique In other ways as well. It has a service of warehouse distribution, which Is practically unique.

Only the old timers of Wilming- ton will remember the trucks of the W F Buckley Company, which trucked cotton to Lowell and wool to Lawrence SO years ago, from Boston. That was In the das of hard rubber tires, when Main St. was really just a two lane highway.

There were other trucks and autos of course, but the W F Buck- ley Company was the one which always had full loads of cotton, as their trucks came through town.

One of the employees of that company was William Morash. He saw an apportunlty for a different type of warehousing - one which would provide a distribution service, and In 1921, In conjunction W F Buckley, William Morash founded a firm which became dis- tributors, as well as warehouse- men, for New England firms.

The two men formed a partnership, and hired 14,000 square feet of the Lewis Wharf, In Boston.

The company provided an answer to a long felt but unexpressed need. National shippers, such as Pet Milk and Quaker Oats became their clients, and in 1924 Mr Morash became the sole owner.

The company which he founded withstood the depression years, and continued to grow, until 1938 when Mr Morash died. His widow, Mrs Sadie Morash, picked up the reins, and became one of the most remarkable people In the business, so much so that she was soon llst4d in Who's Who in American Women, and In commerce and In- dustry.

She had a son, Leslie, who was 12 years old. She fulfilled the du-

AN OUTSTANDING DISTRIBUTION CENTER: Is the term for the new warehouse Qf the Service Warehouse, off Ballardvale Street. It Is partly in Wilmington and partly in Andover, and is designed to effect its service with a minimum of trucking. About 100,000 square feet in area, it probably cost over $500,000. Ballardvale Street is in the background, and the B&M RR In the foreground.

ties of president of the firm, and of mother simultaneously, and in both she did well. The firm pro- spered, and Leslie went on to a college education, graduating from Boston University In 1948 with a BS In Accounting.

He had been working part time In the warehousing operation, but now became a full time employee. He continued his education with part time studies, and In 1950 he won a Master's Degree In Busi- ness Administration.

Leslie Morash became the president of the Service Warehouse, and of the W F Buckley Co In 1953, when his mother retired. He was 28 years old.

Morash, In 1958, entered into a partnership with Benjamin Jacobo- witzh, a man with 35 years of experience In the trucking business. Mr Jacobowltz became the president of the W F Buckley Company and Morash the president of the Service Warehouse Co. With the partnership a new dimension was added to the Distribution Market phase of the company, and the firm

took over a six story building, on Midway Street in Boston.

The Lewis Whart operation was closed four years later. The area was too congested, and another facility on Midway Street was ac- auired. A few years later still another facility was acquired, at 35 Sleeper Street. The total area devoted to the warehousing and distribution service had grown to 233,000 feet, and at the same time the trucking fleet was expanded accordingly, as well as increased personnel to service the two parts of the business.

Morash Is a man who believes in local participation. When he decided to move part of his business to Wilmington he went to a local Realtor, Mrs. Nancy Clark, to have the land purchased for him, and to a local architect and builder, Raymond Fltzmaurlce, to do the designing and building.

They did well by Morash. He Is particularly pleased with the building, which embodies many of his own ideas.

It is not a place where many people are employed. Haifa dozen men, on the average, can be found there at any particular time. But it Is a place where national firms can feel safe in having their ma- terials stored, and ready for distribution, when needed, to any place In New England, by rail or by truck.

In his spare time Morash teaches in Northeastern University. He is an Instructor of Physical Distri- bution Management there, and has been teaching the course since 1953

Mrs Morash, who hasssen many summers, is still very active In the firm, and serves as a director. She came to Wilmington, after the site had been chosen, to see It for herself, and was In this town many times during the construction of the warehouse.

The main Idea, Morash says, Is Organization. The organization of the company has led It into a virtual distribution revolution. It can deliver what Is needed, In any place In New England, on 24 hours notice.

THE CHIMNEYS LEAN TO THE SOUTHEAST: As to the ease of all old chimneys to New England which have not undergone repairs. Hun- dreds of summers, with the morning sun drying out the dew of the even- tog before, is the cause. If the sun rose to the west the chimneys would lean to the Southwest.

The chimney nearest the camera was probably built about 1745. That on the other side of the building Is the original chimney, built to 1671.

At far left may be seen one of the original doors to the building, dating from 1671. The front door, newly Installed, is a replica of the old front door. Notice the snowmarks on the roof, showing the line of the old pine rafters.

It had been estimated. Frank re- placed them for $200, and a lot of hard labor.

Other parts of the ancient homestead, oldest building to Wilming- ton, and ancestral home of many people in the United States who beat* the name of Buck, will be re- placed or rebuilt by FarrelL He Is going at the Job a little bit at a time.

There Is a lot to be seen, to the old homestead - original HL hin- ges on doors nearly 300 years old, - chestnut beams and pine rafters, and bricks of several varieties, some made locally, and some of them brought from England to the trading ships that plyed between the mother country and the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, to the years before anyone ever dreamed of a Revolutionary War.

It was the back part of the house that was built to 1671 or 1672, by Ephralm Buck and his son Roger, who had been the 'publlck execu- tioner' for the Town of Cambridge. They lived side by side, to a building which had two kitchens on the ground floor, and a common chimney between, and two rooms on the second floor.

Later, probably about 1745, the front part of the house was added.

Generations of the Buck family lived to this house, and for 150 years or so there was always a 'father-son' relationship, one family on one side, and one family on the other.

The division of the house was continued to the barn. One half of the barn was for the •father' side of the family and the other for the 'son' side.

And there was never a deed for the old place, which had hundreds of acres of land, until It was necessary to make one, after John Henry Buck died, to 1923, and the house was sold out of the Buck family.

K was to this house that Colonel Jonathan Buck was born - he who founded a place In Maine which was called Buckstown, and later Buck- sport. The gravestone of Colonel

Buck has a aiscoiorauon called 'the witch's boof and from that discoloration weird legends have arisen, legends which have been printed in many magazines.

Nathan Buck, Constable of Wil- mington, in 1774, living in the Buck House, was the man who paid the taxes of the town to the Colonial Legislature, In Concord, rather' than to the Royal Government In Boston - the first overt act of the Revolution In Wilmington. (He did so, of course, on instruction of the Town Meeting).

Descendants of the Buck family have fought In every war In which Massachusetts Bay Colony, or the United States has been Involved, and In the Civil War they fought In both Blue and Grey uniforms. There were men who had descend- ed from Ephraim Buck In Alabama regiments, and in south Carolina regiments, on the Rebel side, and In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Maine regiments, on the Union side.

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, received its name from Buck men who left Bucksport Maine, to go south - and some of them continued on further, to establish lumber mills In South Carolina, and eventually Alabama.

But the secret of Benjamin Buck Is now out. The place where the Buck money was kept has been found. ,

TOWN CRIER OF WILMINGTON - DEC 26, 1968 9

High School Sports In hoop action last week, the

wildcats split their conference encounters. Losing at Andover, 81-60 and bouncing back on Friday night to defeat Dractu 67-59. Capt Ed Thomas played an excellent game In defeat as he scored 20 points and captured 15 rebounds. The Wildcats fell behind early in their loss to the Golden Warriors and trailed at half-time 42-31. The third period was close, but the boys were still at the short end 55-42. A 26 pt fourth period by Andover finished all hopes of winning their Inltal game of the season. Other conference action saw Blllerlca bombing Methuen 68-48; Chelmsford rolling over Burlington, 72-58, and No Andover crushing Tewksbury, 80-54.

Before a small home crown, on a stormy Friday night, the Wild- cats ran off to a 15 pt half time lead, 34-19 over Dracut. Then had to hang on tor dear life as the Middles outscored our boys 40-33 In the second half to make It a very close game. Vln Sbano (12 pts) Jim TUdsley (14 pts) and Dan Ballou (12 pts) led the team in scoring.

Sophomore Dennis Murphy played a fine game, scoring three key field goals In crucial situa- tions In the hectic fourth period when It seemed the wildcats would revert to old form, that of running out of gas. But the boys were not to be denied and won their first game of the year. Ken Moore the outstanding Dracut foot- ball quarterback, again proved too much for Wilmington as he led all scorers with 32 points. No An- dover defeated Methuen, 82-55; A.idover belted Blllerlca, 60-59 and Chelmsfor continued their winning ways dropping a stubbor Tewksbury 73-67 in other conference games.

Tomorrow night, the Wildcats will participate In a Holiday Tour- nament at Burlington High. They will tap off at 7:00 pm. The Cham- pionship and consolatlo game swill be played on Saturday Night

In other games, Chelmsford did all of Its scoring in the second period as it blanked BUlerlca, 2-0 Andover had to battle back with a third period goal to earn a tie 1-1, with Masconomet.

Helping O'Connell In the scoring department were freshmen Steve Neal and Sophomore Jim Irwln with one goal apiece. This was a hard hitting affair, with 16 pnaltles being called, 9 of which were whistled against WUmlngton.

The first goal came on a de- flection by the Tewksbury goalie, as he was unable to clear a blue line shot by O'Connell. The shot was wide and bounced off the boards to the goal tender and he was unable to hold It, thus a WUdcat score.

On as perfect a play as you would ever see, our second goals was scored by young Jim Irwln at the 26 second mark of the second period. Dave O'Connell set up the score as he took the opening face-off and circled the Tewksbury net and centered a perfect pass in front of the Redmen

of-way for electric power lines. It was out in Concord, Sudbury and Wayland, and the Selectmen of those towns finally got Into the fight, on a 'Preserve Our Beauty' Basis.

Lawyers, by one story, are sup- posed to throw everything Into a good fight, up to and including the Kitchen Sink.

Phillip went one better. He found an old Indian Burying Ground, and alleged to the Court that the Right- of-way would desecrate the last resting place of the noble redskins.

Well, the Christian Science Mon- itor, last Saturday, called it a 'landmark case'. The Massachu- setts Judicial Supreme Court ruled against Boston Edison and In favor of the towns, unanimously. The Court held that there was such a thing as natural beauty.

With or without the Indians, Phil- lip won that one.

Now he has a similar fight, this time with the Town of Reading, Municipal Light Department. It involves a proposed right-of-way in the west part of that town, and a private individual has hired Phil- lip to contest It.

Phillip probabably won't have the Selectmen with him, this time, and it is to be doubted if he can find an Indian Burying Ground.
