Kennebunk Voters Decide on SAD Question
Kennebunk and Kennebunkport residents vote by referendum to dissolve the newly formed School Administrative District 71. Polls open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The measure follows years of study and a Sept. 30 referendum in favor of forming the district. State law may push all towns into SADs by July 1971. Supporters say shared subsidies reduce costs and enable needed construction, with Kennebunkport students already attending Kennebunk High on a tuition basis since 1948.

Soviet ships move into Mediterranean amid U S provocation
The Soviet press reports ships entering the Mediterranean to counter what it calls provocative acts of the U S 6th Fleet and to provide naval cover for Israel's aggressive policies. In Mexico City the Attorney General's office displays over 100 tons of Communist propaganda seized by customs, including Mao's Little Red Book editions and pamphlets from Chinese, Russian, and other sources. Local government moves include transfers of funds for city projects, liquor license grants, and entertainment permits, with infrastructure approvals at Granite Point and notes on local symbols and harvest myths.

Biddeford Council Rejects Parking Ban
Biddeford City Council last night rejected the states request to restrict parking near the Main Street Elm Street intersection as part of a planned traffic light upgrade funded by the state. Merchants at a public hearing urged lighter enforcement while supporting modern signals, noting the plan would add width for right turn traffic and limit parking to 150 feet on either side of Main Street from the Elm intersection. Mayor Lemire said he would return the plan and seek removal of the right turn on red provision for Hill Street Pool Street.
