Surrounded!-The harassed looking gentleman is Mayor John E. Kerrigan. The V-K Day smiles (would that be for "Victory over Kerrigan"?) are worn by Mrs. Joseph Leonard (right) who has just unburdened her feelings about the 1945 city cleanup drive she headed, and her silent partner in a conference with the mayor today, Ellen Gleason of the Boston recreation commission.
