PLAYGROUND DEPARTMENT Norwood, Massachusetts September 2, 1942


Mr. Francis W. Smith General Manager Norwood, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


I herein submit my report as Supervisor of Playgrounds for the season of 1942.


The following play areas were opened for supervised recreation from July 6 to August 28: Balch, Endean, Elks Park, Wilson Street, Senior High School, Civic, Pleasant Park, Shattuck, and Father McAleer.


Hawes Pool was opened for supervised swimming, with David Butters as life guard and Albert Billingham as an instructor, from July 6 to September 7, from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M. Willett Pond was supervised from July 25 to September 7.


Playgrounds opened at 9 A.M., closed at 5 P.M., with a lunch recess from 12 to 1:30 P.M. It would seem advisable to open at 10 A.M., as attendance was small during the first hour and often the grounds were damp and unfit for use.


Attendance records showed the number of children attending activities on their own playgrounds to be greater than the num- ber attending activities at the pools, in another community or with other playgrounds.


In addition to a daily program and interplayground games the following all-playground features were held.


A picnic for all playgrounds at Wilson Street opened the sea- son. Three hundred children took part in the games on the play- ground, the "weenie roast" in the grove of the Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Association, and the swimming at Willett Pond.


Community Play Night scheduled for three successive nights met with rain and wet grounds. As the enthusiasm ran high among the children, such a plan should be tried again.


Doll day, attended by 250 dolls brought as many proud owners to Social Hall.


The Pet Show had 25 cats in Pussy Cat Alley, 30 dogs on Bull Dog Boulevard. Rabbits, carrier pigeons, roosters and grass- hoppers accompanied by their owners showed Norwood children to be loyal pet owners.


29


Two hundred boys entered the track competition which was followed the next day by a competition for girls. The Veteran's of Foreign Wars Auxiliary presented the Civic Playground with an American Flag on this day, which made a flag flying at every play area.


Interplayground finals were held during the week of August 16, the most interesting of which was the horseshoe contest for boys, this being the first year a separate contest was held for horseshoes alone. The children are indebted to the townspeople, who contributed several sets of regulation horseshoes.


This year, using bicycles and transportation supplied by citizens, baseball games were played with Dedham and East Walpole, both at home and away throughout the season.


The girls' champion softball team played the East Walpole team.


The Red Sox-Cleveland baseball game at Fenway Park on August 25 was attended by a group of one hundred boys. The number was limited as the regular public transportation facilities were used. Two games, with the Red Sox winning both, made the day extra enjoyable for the fans. Endean boys joined the Knot Hole Gang and attended a Braves-Giants game.


Baseball, girls' softball, volleyball, tenniquoit, checkers, jack- stones, jumprope and paddle tennis town champions were decided during the week of August 16. A swimming meet at Hawes Pool added a fifth year to the records. Two of the previous records were broken.


Originality, enthusiasm, initiative and resourcefulness on the part of the instructors was evident at the final exhibition of the playground children's handicrafts displayed in the window of the Town Square Hardware & Supply Corp. An emphasis was placed on useful articles. Boys made paddles for paddle tennis, showing themselves interested in and capable of making their own equip- ment.


Playground dances were held on six consecutive Tuesdays for children from 13 to 15 years, averaging 200 each night. The children and the instructors supplied records for an electric vic- trola and amplifier, which proved successful.


The tennis courts were open Monday to Friday from 4 P.M. until dark and on Saturday and Sunday with the custodian in charge. A men's singles tournament was played Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23, the champion of which entered Newton Public Parks Tennis Tournament.


A "Parade of the Months," culminating the season's program, started with the Civic New Year's Party, followed by Balch


30


human valentines and flags flying in the March wind. April showers from Father McAleer boys protecting themselves with umbrellas, brought Shattuck's Mayflowers, dancing around the May-pole. A June wedding party complete with mammoth cake and followed by the color guard for June 14 represented the High School. Elks Park firecrackers set off the Four Freedoms sym- bolized by four girls. Pleasant Park, mindful of August's heat suggested a water faucet. Their schoolhouse on a cart (this year's playground substitute for gasoline vehicles) was followed by teacher and pupils. Columbus, his crew and three ships; a foot ball hero, cheer-leaders and fur-coated fans from Wilson Street, came before Endean's Santa Claus and snowman tossing snow- balls on the spectators.


The Wilson Street Improvement Association's purchase of see- saws has proved a profitable addition to their playground.


I wish to express my appreciation for the co-operation shown me, by you. the Town officials, and the members of the Recreation Advisory Committee and the townspeople.


I wish to thank the instructors, through you, for their achieve- ments and the service they rendered to the Norwood children.


Respectfully submitted,


Claire M. Curran


Playground Supervisor.

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL


March 12, 1943


The Board of Selectmen Norwood Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The report of the Town Counsel for the year 1942 of ne- cessity must be brief. Due to the protracted and serious illness of Town Counsel Honorable George F. James on September 29, 1942 your Honorable Board designated the undersigned to carry on during the illness of Judge James. Judge James died on December 11, 1942 and the undersigned continued on in the per- formance of these duties.


During this period there was no litigation. The Town Coul- sel has prepared warrants and articles for various special town meetings held during the year, has rendered numerous written opinions to the various Boards and Offices of the Town.


Negotiations are still being carried on with reference to leasing the Airport to the Navy and the possible use of the same under these auspices.

The cooperation and consideration extended me by the several Boards and Offices of the Town has been most appreciated.


Respectfully submitted,

MUNICIPAL LIGHT DEPARTMENT


February 2, 1943


Mr. Francis W. Smith General Manager Norwood, Massachusetts


Dear Sir:


I submit herewith a report of the activities and operation of the Light Department for the year ending December 31, 1942.


Until the first of August, the major activity of this Depart- ment was the changing of our distribution system from 2400 Volts to 4160 Volts. This change was started in 1941 and by August of 1942 two new circuits known as No. 11 and No. 12 were completed and two existing circuits, No. 5 and No. 6 were changed to the higher voltage. The new circuits No. 11 and No. 12 were installed to supply Winslow Bros. and Smith Co., and the new Bendix Corp. factory. Their source of supply being our new substation at Short Street.


The substation at Short Street was energized and placed on schedule at 11:40 A. M. May 25th and has been operating very successfully since that time.


Administrative letter No. 5 from the War Production Board, Power Branch, Washington, D. C., dated July 28, 1942 amended P-46 order halting all construction work by electric utilities. Therefore, work of reconstructing our lines to 4160 Volts is at a standstill for the duration.


Since August 1 our work has consisted of general maintenance and the latter part of the year to the dimming of approximately 1100 street lights to comply with the Army Regulations on dimout for this area.


During the year, one operator and two meter readers have left our employ. One of the meter readers was replaced, leaving us at this writing one meter reader and one operator short which is quite a handicap to the operation of the Department.


Because of longer working hours, increased loads and new fac- tories, our industrial load has made a sharp increase in our pur- chased and delivered electric energy during the year. The fol- lowing comparative figures show purchased and sold energy for 1941 and 1942.

In November we were notified that Norwood was to be included in the dimout area effective December 1, 1942. Our part in this order was to shield over 1100 street lights in such a manner that sky glow would be reduced to a minimum. Approximately 800 street lights have been shielded to date, the remaining 300 will be done as soon as material is available.


Included in this report is a tabulation showing the successful operation of this Department from 1920 to 1941 inclusive.


The highest demand recorded at the plant plus that of the Short Street substation was 3173 K. W., Dec. 1, 1942, between 11:15 and 11:45 A. M.


As shown in the following graphs, energy purchased for 1942 was two million more than for 1941 and an increase of two tenths of a mill in average kilowatt-hour cost. Normally the average unit cost would be less with such an increase in purchased energy but due to war conditions the price of coal to the Boston Edison Co. increased considerably over the cost for 1941. The delivered cost of coal to the Boston Edison Co. is reflected in our cost to them for electric energy. Had the cost of coal not changed, our unit cost for 1942 would have been 1.14 cents.


Meter Installation and Inspection Division


Two hundred and thirty-four wiring permits were issued during the year 1942. These permits were for alterations and additions to old wiring, new installations, including 16 electric ranges, 4 electric water heaters and 200 connected H. P. of motors.


There were three major wiring installations, the Bendix Corp., Peabody School and Norwood Hospital. Considerable time was spent on inspection to make sure they were wired in a safe and satisfactory way.

Fire Alarm, Police Signal and Traffic Signal Systems Fire Alarm:


Only one new fire alarm box was installed during the year at the Peabody School. This was a master type box connected with three auxiliary boxes inside the school building. This is the only public school in Norwood that has a fire alarm system connected to the public fire alarm system. All the schools should be so connected.


Six two H. P. sirens were installed for air raid alarms. They are operated from the report center over the fire alarm system.

Police Signal:


One new set of batteries were installed and some relay adjust- ments were made during the year.


Traffic Signals:


One new contact mat was installed at the West intersection of Winter and Walpole Streets.


All traffic signals and flashers were equipped with dimout shields to conform to Army Regulations for this area.


All the signal systems have operated very satisfactory with a small amount of maintenance during the year.
