View of Lower End of Rockv Meadow Judge Sgarzi is a native of Ply- mouth and has lived there all his life. He was graduated from Ply- mouth High School in 1919 and from Northeastern University School of Law, Boston, in 1927. He became a practicing attorney in 1928. From 1934 until 1937, he was a Selectman of the shiretown of Plymouth. He was elected Mod- erator of his home town in 1939 and still serves in that capacity, important in a New England town. He was elected to the Plymouth Planning Board in 1939 and con- tinues as a member. In 1940, he was made a member of Selective Service Board 131, and is now Chairman. He was appointed Justice of the Plymouth Court in 1948 by Govern- or Bradford. He serves as Director of Jordan Hospital, Plymouth, having been appointed in 1940, and is a trus- tee of the Plymouth Savings Bank. He is a Past President of the Ply- mouth Bar Association, and is now on its Executive Committee. He is a nrember of the Massachusetts Bar Association and on the griev- ance committee of that organiza- tion. He is a Judge of the Appel- late Division of the Southern Dis- trict, of the district courts. He is married to the former Fannie E. Borghi of Plymouth. The couple have two sons, Louis, 17, a senior at Phillips Academy at Andover, and Vincent, 15, who is entering Governor Dummer Academy at South Byfield, Massa- chusetts. Both boys are Eagle Scouts. Since Rocky Meadow has been under this new management, there has been a good deal of work done. Improvements during the past six months are being continued. About 20 acres have been re-sanded by the "jalopy" method, there has been grading and ditch cleaning but no actual major renovation as yet. The new Rocky Meadow oper- ators are frank in saying they know little so far about cranberry growing, in spite of their general fanriliarity with the business as a whole. Rocky Meadow Company, Inc. is a member of National Cran- berry Association, while Judge Sgarzi and Mr. Olsson are mem- bers of Cranberry Growers' Mu- tual; they intend to join Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association (CRANBERRIES Photo) and will probably become members of one of the Plymouth County cranberry clubs. That the Massachusetts industry has been strengthened by the ad- dition of these barristers and leaders in so many civic and polit- ical matters can scarcely be doubt- ed. They are already talking and acting like cranberrymen. On the day of this interview at Rocky Meadow, the Judge kept poking at the soil, then powdery dry, and hoping for rain, while the Clerk of Courts was wishing he had brought along a hand lens to look for a fruitworm in a small berry he had just picked and which didn't look quite healthy to him.
