385-2011 The Bicentennial has started! Many activities'' leading up to July 4, 1776have already seen their 200tlyanniversaries come and go'. Xjne of the most famous events prior to the drafting pi the Declaration of In-" 'dependence, The Boston Tea Party, occurred in December of 1773, and Boston 200, the city's Bicentennial organization, is conducting a series of Tea Party related activities throughout this Fall, which will culminate during Tea Party Weekend, December 14-16. This will be the first major, event of America's Bicentennial a full schedule of com-, memorative festivities and activities is planned. Speaking of the Tea Party and its relevance in this raty ern era, Boston Mayor Kevin H. White said, "A prime pur pose in commemorating the event is to remind people of the principles aboutgovern-ment that were enormously important to Bostonians of the 18th century.

Although times, have changed, these same issues of the role of government and the rights of man still continue on to today." Boston 200, the Office of the Boston Bicentennial, has sought td stimulate an active reconsideration of these issues through a series of forums, lectures and literary and artistic competitions -just as meetings and forums in 1773 kindled the spirit for the original Tea Party. In mid-Fall, the Brig Beaver II, a 75' 22', two-masted wooden brig, will sail into Boston Harbor from England and be located close to the original mooring area of the Tea Party ships. The Brig is a replica of the smallest of the three ships involved in the original Tea Party. Privately developed and financed as an educational and historical exhibit, Beaver II is the first Bicentennial exhibit to be recognized by Boston 200. The total exhibit will include a museum (privately sponsored) and a gift shop, which will be located in a former bridgekeeper's house adjacent to the mooring Tea Party Weekend in mid-December will be filled 'with celebrations and activities which will bring together the functions which took place throughout the preceding months.

The Tea Party posters, prizewinners from two contests, one citvwide and one nation- wide, will be exhibited. The U. S. Custom House at Boston will be dedicated as an historic building. At historic Faneuil Hall, a forum will be held on the significance of the Boston Tea Party, followed by a reception for forum speakers and winners of a Tea Party Essay Contest held in the Fall for Boston area junidr and senior high school students.
