TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
REPORT OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
At the Annual Meeting the Town voted to have a ten man Commission appointed by the Selectmen. The following men were appointed by the Selectmen:
Frank Brodil Robert J. Clairmont Robert L. Daley Michael J. Diauto
James V. Donovan
Harold J. Gurney Joseph Marotta Henry J. Rota Robert L. Schneider
Herbert A. White
The Committee organized and elected Robert L. Schneider Chairman. The Com- mittee regretfully accepted the resignation of Mr. Brodil and welcomed George Kiley, Jr., to his place.
During the course of the past year the Committee sponsored a program held at Lyons School entitled "A New Look at Randolph". Local industries exhibited their prod- ucts. Mr. Michael Pacella outlined his plans for development of the land adjacent to Pond Street.
A series of maps have been compiled bringing up to date the zoning map of the Town. Through the cooperation of Mr. Samuel Polio and students in his class at Randolph High School, sewer data and water system data were added to Master maps. These master maps have been reproduced in reduced size and are available for distribution. They have proved an invaluable aid in discussing industrial development with developers and Town Department Heads.
During the past year Trim Alloys, Inc., United Consumers, Inc., AAA Metal Products, Inc., have substantially completed construction of new plant facilities. A. E. Ogan, Inc., is constructing its plant presently. A new Shopping Plaza is to be started during the spring of 1963. Mr. Pacella has reported progress in his Industrial Park at North Randolph and has cleared land and roughed out roadways.
At the time this report is submitted, applicants for the position of Executive Di- rector to the Commission are being interviewed.
Considerable time is spent by the members of the Commission during the working days in meeting with developers, utility company executives, real estate agents, and in procuring information for the industries in town.
The Commission feels that the calendar year 1963 sees Randolph in a position to move forward firmly in the competitive market of attracting new industry.
We wish to acknowledge the cooperation we have had from executives of the com- panies located in Randolph, Department Heads and other Town Officials, without which we would be unable to function efficiently.
The immediate aims of the Commission are to complete a "Fact Package" of the Town; procure the services of a competent Executive Director, if available, and give prompt service to the many inquiries regarding our Town.
Our long range aims continue to be to serve the Town in such a manner as to attract new business and industry to Randolph and to encourage the expansion of our present business and industry.
By careful analysis of our objectives and diligent planning of our expenditures, your Commission does not require additional funds to continue an expanded program this coming year.
Respectfully submitted by the Commission,
ROBERT L. SCHNEIDER Chairman

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
Board of Selectmen Randolph Massachusetts
During the past year the Randolph Civil Defense Agency has intensified activities to unify the organization and provide necessary training programs to increase overall efficiency.
The Civil Defense Auxiliary Police are being uniformed, and drilled in the essen- tials of police work to make them adjunct to the regular police force, and available for assignment for special details, as may be indicated by Chief Macauley. First-Aid in- struction classes under direction of Harold Holbrook and Willis Michaelson were enthusiastically attended by members of the Civil Defense Auxiliary Police, with very satisfactory results.
George Foley, assistant director of the Communications section has resumed training in accordance with Sector 2-D, Two Meter Net drills for communication personnel.
A Medical Self-Help Training Program, under the direction of John Levreault is being organized for the instruction of the Randolph civic groups, church benevolent associations, Parent Teachers Associations, Veteran organizations, and all interested townspeople.
Area II MCDA Headquarters held a one day instructor workshop, at South Bridge - water, to qualify five members of our civil defense agency to teach this course. The Medical Self-Help Training Program is state-wide and has for its objective the training of one member of the family in medical self-help, so that our families will be able to
67
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
take care of their own health needs in a National emergency. Captain and Mrs. George Benney, Harold Holbrook, Willis Michaelson and John Levreault have qualified as in- structors in this program.
A Radiological Team for the detection of radioactive fall-out is in process of devel- opment and is being equipped with the necessary instruments, and provided with in- struction in their use.
By using available government surplus property a Rescue Unit within our civil defense organization is being activated. This unit will be equipped for all emergencies as adjunct to the Fire, Police and Highway Departments to include Mobile lighting generators, and heavy equipment such as Loaders, Tractors, Trucks, Cranes, Bull- dozers, Earth moving and Evacuating equipment, and the necessary tools and attach- ments required in rescue operations.
Our civil defense headquarters building is constantly in use by the civil defense Auxiliary Police, and the Communications section for class instruction. It is also available for the Red Cross, the Civil Air Patrol, and for use in the distribution of civil defense literature.
The Nation Fallout Shelter Survey for Randolph, conducted by the Corps of Engin- eers, U. S. Army, was completed this past fall. No shelter met the requirements of a safety factor of 4 with facilities for 50 persons. Another survey is contemplated to determine alterations that will meet the required need for an approved shelter for our townspeople.
Our Civil Defense is coordinated with our school administration for the purpose of cooperation in emergency, to safeguard our school population in schools, and their safe return to their homes, time permitting.
Your Director is a member of the National U. S. Civil Defense Council, National Headquarters, Washing ton, D. C.
