Memorial Field Work Highlights and Local Officials Praise

The Biddeford Saco Lions Club expanded Memorial Field with a second swing set in 1956 and added a cement ramp in 1957 built by Nick Gillis and Wells. That year metal nets for tennis, a jungle gym, and a merry go round were installed, with a new basketball court and regraded horseshoe pits added last year. Officials praised Memorial Field committee chair Francis Spencer and treasurer Wilfred Landry for running the field. Landry, the sole original member still active, has never taken pay. The Little League field was started on swamp land three years ago using street repair fill and sweepings from the Saco Lowell foundry to prepare the site. The field awaits grading and surfacing. The other items reference a separate legal matter where the defendants did not testify, with IRS raids on the downtown office beginning November 29, 1957.
