TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Report of the Selectmen and Overseers of Public Welfare
During the year we have extended every cooperation possible to the various home-front organizations such as the Rationing Board, Civilian Defense Units, Red Cross, State Guard Randolph Unit, Victory Committee, War Savings Committee, Veterans' Rehabilitation Committee, Salvage Committee, Emergency War Board, Boy and Girl Scouts, Community Chest and War Fund Committee who have given their time and efforts to the war effort. We extend our appreciation to the members of these organizations for their support.
The Veterans' Rehabilitation Committee are holding office hours in the Turner Library building Monday even- ings so as to assist all veterans and their relatives and dependents who seek information and assistance.
Your Board of Selectmen have endeavored to conduct the affairs of the Town in an economical and just manner and take this opportunity to thank all town committees and department heads for their cooperation during the year.
CHARLES F. BLAKELY, RALPH H. HUTCHINSON, THEODORE S. LUDDINGTON, Board of Selectmen.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Historian WORLD WAR II
To the Members of the Board of Selectmen :
For the third consecutive year, we submit for publi- cation the HONOR ROLL of the men and women of Ran- dolph who have dedicated themselves to fight for their country in this terrible global war.
The deeds and sacrifices made by these men and women must remain an inspiration for all time.
On February 1, 1945, we had recorded the names of 943 men and women of Randolph who have entered the armed services.
It may be enlightening and of interest to the towns- people to learn of the methods we use to obtain the infor- mation we need to keep our Honor Roll complete and up- to-date. We shall also explain the necessity of co-operation from the parents or relatives of persons entering the serv- ices. When a young man enters into the service through induction by the local Draft Board, we obtain his or their names from Mr. Roland Marden, member of that Board. However, if a young man who has not reached his eighteenth birthday enlists in the service we must obtain that infor- mation either from his parents, relatives or from notices that may appear in the local newspapers.
These same facts hold true in the cases where women enter the services. Despite the fact that we have repeatedly requested that information of any Randolph person enter- ing the armed services be sent to us, we regret to admit that our requests have not been met in full. It is our sin- cere desire not to neglect including any individual of Ran-
96

dolph who has answered the call of his or her country. Therefore, the completeness of the Honor Roll and the many factors attending it, cannot be warranted.
Since the publication of the last Annual Town Report, we gravely recorded the names of nine of our gallant sons who have given their last full measure of devotion. The tragic, fearful and shocking messages of death have been received by twenty bereaved families of Randolph during this war. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to these fam- ilies. The deeds and sacrifices of the twenty gallant heroes of Randolph, who have given their lives in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Armed Forces, shall be remembered forever by a grateful people.
There are two recommendatons that we shall include in this report. First, that documentation and chronicling of the services given by our men and women should exist in the permanent records of the Town of Randolph. Sec- ondly, that consideration should be given, now, to the estab- lishment of a "Living Memorial" to our World War II heroes. To quote from a letter written by a Marine sergeant "that any man in the service would be prouder to have one small swing in a playground given in his name than all the marble-columned temples that ever wasted good space, time and money."
We wish to express our appreciation to the many, many families who under trying conditions furnished us the information requested, their spirit of co-operation is truly and sincerely appreciated.
To inject a light note into this report, we wish to in- clude the information that Sullivan is still the "fightinest" name on our list. We may have to explain a lot to the Andersons, who will tell us that nine persons with the name of "Anderson" have entered the service from Ran- dolph, while nine "Sullivans" entered the service. But

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
without trying to create any animosity we'll have to hand the Sullivans the laurel, as they lay claim to one David O'Sullivan to send their total to ten. We expect to hear more from this report. -
We continue to pray that the continuous task of com- piling the information necessary to keep our Honor Roll complete, terminates in the very near future . . . that day means Victory is ours.
Sincerely,
MURRAY LEWIS, Historian World War II Activities.
