ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
The Council has been accorded the courtesy of The Board of Health Building, 19 North Main Street, as its temporary head- quarters, where it may keep its files, receive mail, and from which it may distribute Identification Cards to those who may wish to call for them. A representative from The Council will be present at least once a month on announced dates to take sig- natures for these cards and to explain the use of same. Card records are carefully kept, showing each card number and its owner. Since the first public distribution of these cards, on September 19, 140 citizens in the 65-or-over age range have signed for them. They understand that the cards are not trans - ferable and entitles the holder to special privileges, available to himself, only, and as previously arranged with business houses in his community, as well as with certain recreation and enter- tainment establishments, both in Town and out of Town.
The Council wishes to thank Frank Brodil and Irving March for their assistance in making possible the printing of a letter to be sent in connection with the honoring of these cards. We too are most appreciative of the hearty approval given The Council's work by Mr. Brodil's letter which we have on file; also, on the many verbal "pats on the back" from others who have "lent a helping hand," prominent among whom are: The Selectmen, who "came to our rescue" with a loan of $50.00 from their expense account, to help us get the Council launched.
The Council is in immediate need of a large number of vol- unteer workers to serve on various committees, such as - Visit- ing, Transportation, and Social Centers. Those willing to help may send their names, addresses, and phone numbers, to The Secretary of The Council for The Aging, 19 North Main Street, Board of Health Building.
For its inspiration, The Council has in mind the words of our beloved Late President John F. Kennedy, who said at The White House Conference of May, 1963 - "The heart of our program for The Elderly must be opportunity for, and social service to, Our Older Citizens in their home communities."
For its further stimulus, The Council has the statement of Abraham Ribicoff, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, "The goals we set are not for the dim future, but those which older people, living today, may well expect to see."

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
Some progress has been made during the past year in develop- ing the more essential elements within this organization.
The Auxiliary Police working with the regular police, under instruction and direction of Chief Macauley, have performed service during the holidays, at the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and school functions, as traffic and night patrol activities. During 1963 the Auxiliary Police participated with police of near- by towns on several occasions directing traffic at public functions requiring police protection. A weekly training program is in process for all phases of police duty, which at the moment is considered to be of prime importance.
Emergency planning is a complex all encompassing subject. It includes shelter, warning, emergency organization and train- ing, radiological, monitering, mutual-aid, and many other ac- tivities.
Planning for effective executive succession and continuity of management is an important aspect of industrial civil defense preparedness.
With a nucleus of twenty new members an "Under Water Rescue Unit" is being developed within the Randolph Civil Defense Agency. Classes have begun and regular training is conducted at Civil Defense Headquarters.
The re-opening of Area, Section 2-D, Headquarters at Stough- ton Town Hall, after a two year closing, will result in closer liai- son with all higher echelons within the State, and a resumption of communication, radio activities, each week for the training of communication personnel under the direction of Deputy Director George Foley.
199
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
Shelter programs, and Medical Self Help Training classes are in progress, as well as Radiological instruction for training teams in monitoring radiological instruction and radioactive fall- out.
Our 5 KW and 10 KW generators, acquired through surplus property have been mounted on carriages, than when attached to trucks become mobile electrical power units for use in any loca- tion. During an electricity power failure in the Town of Brain- tree last winter our 10 KW generator was effective in restoring electric power during the black-out.
John E. McGerigle of the Randolph Fire Department repre- senting the Town of Randolph completed a 5 weeks course of Radiological monitoring held in Holbrook, graduating with credit to the town. After completing the advanced course in January 1964 he will be eligible to give instructions to the twenty-five members of the Fire Department and qualify all fire department personnel to use the monitoring equipment in case of need during any emerg- ency.
Credit is due the members of the Randolph Civil Defense for their faithfulness in attending classes in instruction in prepara- tion for any emergency, natural or otherwise, for the preserva- tion of life and property in our community.

The report reveals increase of approximately 5000 more calls this year and many more arrests. This may be expected as the population of Randolph is rapidly increasing and I believe the time has come for the Townspeople to give serious thought and consideration to the articles which will be brought up at the An- nual Town Meeting relative to increasing the department by an additional 3 men, plus another police cruiser.
Again I wish to bring to your attention that plans should be made relative to building a new Police Station. Our present one is entirely too small to accommodate the personnel and the busi- ness transacted by the department.
In closing I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, Town Officials, members of the department and the citizens of Randolph, for their cooperation during the past year.
Sincerely yours,
CARL L. MACAULEY Chief of Police

On the 6th of March the Town of Randolph was deeply sad- dened to hear of the passing of Chief Paul D. Anderson, who so ably served the town and died in the line of duty.
The classroom and practical training of members, permanent and call, has covered various phases of firefighting and subjects of concern for effective operation. The training seminars of the Massachusetts Institute of Fire Department Instructors, and the monthly meetings of this organization, of which the training of - ficer is a member, has contributed considerably to the progress of this department.
To better familiarize the members with the water system and available supplies at various points in town, particularly the busi- ness and industrial sections, flow tests have been conducted and charted. The hydrants have been stenciled according to the flow for immediate recognition in time of need. This will help us to determine the number of hose lines available from a particular main or hydrant in case of a major fire.
204
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
However, the necessity of broader training facilities should be pointed out. In order to successfully and effectively conduct hose and ladder evolution, a three story training structure is necessary. The increase of industrial and apartment buildings over two stories is responsible for increased training in ladder and hose over ladder work. This can be accomplished only with such a training tower.
At the Annual Town Meeting to be held in March 1964, I am asking for a new truck to replace the present Engine No. 2, and trust that you will give me your support at this meeting.
Also, I am asking for one (1) additional Firefighter. The re- duction from fifty-two to forty-eight hours requires this addi- tional man to maintain the operating strength of the department.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officers and men of this department, the Board of Selectmen and other town officials for their helpful cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
DONALD S. McNEIL Fire Chief

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
I herewith submit my report as Tree Warden and Moth Super- intendent for the year of 1963. The regular program of repairing storm damage trimming and removal of dead and dangerous trees was carried on during the year. As this work is spread over eighty five miles of road, it limits the amount of work to any one street.
1. Tree Planting in the year of 1963.
The restoration of the beauty of our town of Randolph by planting trees, both shade and ornamental, is an important func- tion of our town.
2. Trees Removed for the year of 1963.
During the year 90 trees were removed.
3. Tree Trimming
During 1963 extensive tree trimming was carried out on many streets throughout the town.
4. Safety of town is very important.
The economy of our country and our National Defense is en- tirely dependent upon the proper functioning of electric and tele- phone service without interruption. If large limbs or branches are in the way of the wires, or trees are in the way of wires, they should be removed for the safety of both electric and the telephone Company.
5. Education.
The educational side of our work is an important field as the public knows so little about trees and related problems. In the course of a year many hundreds of requests for information rela- tive to trees and tree care, Conservation, insect problems, etc., are answered or advice given where assistance may be had to guide them.
6. Moth Department.
The Moth Dept. liability for gypsy moth control for the com- ing year is $3,500.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
At this time I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and citizens for their splendid co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH J. HART Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent
REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER
1963 has been a satisfactory year insofar as licensing of dogs has been concerned. An upward trend was shown, but in accordance with the increase in population, it is shown that many more dogs should be licensed.
In 1964 an unprecedented effort will be extended to license all dogs and within a proper time limit. All dogs three months of age and over must be licensed. I am after a complete 100% registration of all dogs.
A decided lack of cooperation has been noted by some parents of school-age children, who persist in allowing dogs to accompany children to school. This practice is a dangerous one as it is feared that some children will eventually be bitten. Please coop- erate and keep your dogs away from schools. "An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure."
In 1964 delinquent dog owners will be notified once and once only, after which I shall exercise the authority given to me under provisions of the General Laws and assess its penalties. I wish to thank the Town Officials and the Citizens in general for their cooperation during the year 1963.
