 Three of the insumbent party members of the board of education are expected to be renominated when the names of Raymond F. Stone, board president, Perry Gracerstein and Mrs. Anna Haddon will be put on the slate. Dr. Francis P. Barnes, local dentist, and George McDuff head of the local O. P. A. office have previously requested that their names be dropped this term because of the press of business in the case of the former and because federal restrictions prevent a gov- ernment ofiiceholder, such as Me- Duff, from running for public office. It has been reported that the nom- nations of Edward D. Bergin of the local undertaking firm, and of Thomas Driscoll will be put up as successors to fill the above vacancies on this board.
 The town convention held in the city court oom will be the scene of the renomination of Town Clerk Mary A. Kilmartin and Stanley A. Voket as selectman. It has been stated that Aleck Kosky incumbent selectman will be dropped from the party ticket and will be replaced either by William Pawlick or Theo- dore Olshefski. It is understood that the latter choice would be a pleas ing one to most influential of the Polish- American group.
 This latter convention will also see the nominations of constables, Italo DelFino, Francesca DiSomma, Samuel Ershler and Frank McCann. The latter, like MT. McDud is em- ployed by the local O. P. A. and not in a position to run for office but there have been rumors of his re- lease from this federal position be- cause of pending personnel cur tailments in the local staff. John T. Derwin, incumbent registrar of voters is expected to be renominated at this convention.
 Although these appointments are, 1 at this date, still tentative ones 1t is generally presumed that there will be no outstanding contest on any of them, unless 1t be the dropping of Daniel Driscoll. The latter, very popular, has not been reported seek ing renomination at this date.
