Carter visits Clinton Mass not a real town meeting
President Carter spoke to about 800 residents in Clinton Mass at Town Hall in a staged event, not a genuine town meeting. Officials note the gathering contrasted with typical town meetings, as quorums and debates were minimal and the real town meeting is slated for April 25 with a $6.5 million budget to discuss schools, revenue sharing, and streets. A false bomb alarm during the event prompted evacuations and a bomb squad search, but no threat was found.

A separate Long Beach police report notes $240 worth of goods stolen after a burglary at Rudy Larragailly’s home.
