Million to Watch Battlegreen Rites, Marathon, Red Sox
On the same countryside where possibly 20,000 colonial Americans dwelt 175 years ago, more than a million rollicking holiday folk will go forth today to take in the biggest and most varied Patriots' Day program ever devised in celebration of the Battle of Concord and Lexington. Three parades—billed at the best and biggest ever—will be held in Concord, Lexington, and Arlington. The Arlington parade will begin at 9:30 A.M., the one in Concord at 10:30 A.M., and Lexington's will be held at 2 P.M.
