In our accession of 2,351 books, we are but skimming the need (see paragraph 5). During 1960 further emphasis was put on strengthening reference material, to the end that both adults and students may find locally the material they need. For example, excellent material has been added on the Elizabethan Era, on the Middle Ages, on holidays, poets, names, geophysics, boilers, clans, furniture, the various sciences, engines, etc. In the "heavy artillery" come the Dictionary of American Biography (10 volumes and supplement); the latest edition of Granger's Index to Poetry; Moulton's 8-volume Library of Literary Criticism; the latest 20- volume World Book to supplement the older editions; and the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology - a 15-volume (plus sup- plement) compendium of inexhaustible information on an incred- ible number of subjects. Certain it is that Randolph residents will enjoy drawing on these ranking reference books, as well as on the steady flow of new fiction and circulating non-fiction.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
Perhaps relatively few of our residents realize that Turner Library is fortunate in being able to offer them 51 periodicals for circulation (including three newspapers). These cover the fields of news, sports, science, fashion, the home, the arts, sales, travel, education, aviation, literature and indexes. Recently was initiated the policy of getting current issues of adult magazines to our borrowers more quickly by circulating these formerly non- circulating issues, but on a 7-day basis. Our borrowers have been very articulate in their thanks for this change.
Personnelwise, we very much regretted to lose Mrs. Keough to a position nearer her home. She was a distinct addition to the staff and is much missed. Mrs. Mae Saunders, Mrs. Dorothy Poehlman, Miss Alice Raymond, Mrs. Gertrude Walsh and the Messers Ernest Baker, Lars Skoglund, George Sullivan, John Wallace and William Wilbur remain on our staff, the first two and myself being the only full-time workers.
The Library started its first inventory in the summer of 1960 and covered the entire fiction collection: adult, young adult and juvenile. Each book, excepting of course those in circulation, was examined for fitness and disposed of appropriately. Naturally this entailed an extremely large discard process. Amagnificent job of speed-teamwork on the part of the staff, including the ges, made me very proud indeed. 1960 and 1961 will, of course, see the largest number of discards - quite to be expected of a first inven- tory.
In addition to the garantuan job of inventory, a Summer Reading Club - theme: "The Bookworm" - was held for the children in Grades 4 through 8. Appropriate posters, registration forms, bookmarks and announcements of the program in the schools and newspapers encouraged 104 youngsters to participate. At the end of the summer, at the party given to the 43 eligible to attend, 23 received certificates of award for completion of the 20-book pro- gram. In addition to book prizes also awarded, movies were shown and refreshments served.
1,748 Randolph residents registered at the Library in 1960; and together with those of the previous two years, a total of 4,820 people are using the Library, plus a small segment of borrowers whose cards are in use, but need renewing, cards being valid for a period of three years. This segment usually more than offsets the number of people who have moved out of town. We feel this is a fine representation. We know it is catching !
We are enthused over our recent acquisition of two lockable display cases. Awhole new field of display possibilities now opens up to us and to our public, many of whom, if town patterns are con- sistent, will be offering collections for display very shortly. A metal file case, a new small adding machine and two new chairs are other additions which have further expedited the work.
Important - yes, all-important are the needs of the Library for 1961. First and foremost would be a more adequate staff - includ- ing the replacement of Mrs. Keough, proper lighting of the Library
108
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
and first-floor occupancy. Further needs are a standard card catalogue file, an outdoors library sign and a bookmobile or the equivalent thereof.
Perhaps my report would not be complete without word of the joint effort - home style - put into the Library grounds - still so greatly in need of much work and care. Flowers were planted; evergreens trimmed, loam rolled and seeded, in all of which most of us had a hand. If the crabgrass defeated the clover, it certainly won't another year! And if some kind friend should deposit ANOTHER load of loam, great things would come to pass !

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Signs welcoming industry to Randolph, sponsored by this Commission, the Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis Clubs, will soon be erected on the four major entrances to our town.
Although we feel these are important, a more important sign, the attitude of the townspeople in general, and the town meeting members in particular (as shown at the recent special Town Meeting) indicates a genuine desire for industrial development within our town.
The development of an attractive industrial park between Pond Street and Route 128 will make other areas of the town more de- sirable to industrial development, with the added result of in- creased business activity.
Participating in this community effort to make Randolph an attractive town for this proposed industrial park were the Town Clerk, the Selectmen, Town Manager, Assessors, Sewer Com- mission, Water Commission and Industrial Commission. With this kind of effort and cooperation displayed by the above named group, and others, the future of Randolph as a good place to live and work is assured.

III. Plans are in progress for classes in First-Aid, Civil Defense Police Training, extension of the Communications Section, and the procurement of equipment for Operational readiness and Reserve Stock.
Liaison is maintained with higher echelon for the purpose of expediting establishment of our Civil Defense Headquarters, class- rooms and storage space. Also for conversion and installation of a generator in the Town Hall for emergency lighting.
Until the need for a Civil Defense Organization in Randolph is recognized by all our people, we cannot satisfactorily meet an emergency of serious consequences.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS SERVICES
The year 1960 was another busy year for this department, with two new Federal Laws on the books known as P.L. 86-211 and 86-633. Had hundreds of applications to process for veterans and their dependents for these new benefits.
Even though we were faced with the Fore River Strike from January to April and processed 139 cases for Veterans Benefits, 13 more than in 1959 we disbursed $49,424.00. With this heavier case load our disbursement was $2, 785. 10 less than 1959. We re- turned to the E. and D. Account $5,290.40 of which $3,576.83 was from appropriation of $53,000.00 at the March Town Meeting and $1,713.57 on assignment and lien cases recovered by this office.
The Town of Randolph will be reimbursed 50% of the $49.424.00, disbursed for Veterans Benefits, by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The total turned over to the Town Treasury will be $30,002.00.
As you will note in my report the past two years, this office has been able to save the tax payers thousands of dollars. The reason for this is because of new Federal Laws that we have taken advantage of in processing claims with the Federal Government and the ability of having these claims expedited, also in finding employment for veterans who had filed for Veterans Benefits under Chapter 115.
We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the splendid cooperation given us by Mr. I. William Trostel, Director of Public Welfare and his staff, the Town Manager, Town Officials and Vet- erans Organizations for making the year 1960 another successful one.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM S. COLE, Director Veterans Services

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
Your Committee has ernestly and diligently striven to expand the educational facilities needed to adequately house our children. 1960 has been a most fruitful and eventful year in regard to prog- ress made in our School Building System.
Of the original $788,000.00 appropriation for the Lyons School, a balance of $9,265.69 was carried over from 1959 to pay for additional equipment, flags, etc. With all bills paid, there remains $548.78 to be returned to the Town.
In July, 1959, the firm of Stoner Associates of Boston was chosen to draw plans and specifications for an 800 pupil Junior High School, to be constructed on a site on High Street, near Canton Street. The firm of Leonard Rugo, Inc. of Wellesley was awarded the contract as low bidder on April 11, 1960. Ground was broken and work commenced on May 1st. Of the total appro- priation of $1,135,000.00, expenditures have totalled, as of the end of 1960, nearly $550,000.00. The building is 52% completed, and both the Architect and the Contractor have assured the Committee that the School will be ready for occupancy by the scheduled date, September 1961.
Stoner Associates also prepared and presented for bid, plans and specifications for the construction of two six classroom additions on the Tower Hill and the McNeil Elementary Schools. Both of these additions are scheduled to be completed by Septem- ber, 1961.
This Committee has completed preliminary studies and re- ceived necessary State approval for a proposed 24 classroom Elementary School, to be erected on Reed Street, near High Street. Many Architects were interviewed in order that we might acquaint ourselves with different designs and applications while keeping a tight reign on prospective costs.
As of December 31, 1960, the Committee retained a balance of $1,694.22, in its working fund.
115
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
Because of an increasing awareness of future needs, this Committee has met many times with the School Committee to select sites suitable for future development and growth. We feel it is imperative to provide adequate sites now, rather than to be forced into costly land-taking in a few years.
This Committee looks towards 1961 with enthusiastic op- timism to be a most eventful year.

Associate
During the calendar year 1960, one hundred and seventy eight (178) applications for new services were received. These have been installed and added to the system.
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
Sixty (60) service leaks were repaired - of these twenty eight (28) were broken inside the cellar walls and thirty two (32) in the street. Sixteen (16) of these services were renewed from main to curb stop and six (6) were renewed throughout. Three (3) services were relocated and three (3) others were lowered to new grade, to maintain sufficient cover. Six (6) frozen services were thawed out by electricity and six (6) additional services were rodded out and cleaned. Eleven (11) service boxes, found broken, were replaced.
In conjunction with the new Clover-leaf at Route 128 and 28, 500 feet of 8" main and eight (8) services were abandoned on North Main Street. Two hydrants and two gates were reclaimed in this abandoned. An additional five (5) other services were also abandoned thoughout the system.
The Department had ten broken hydrants during the year. Most of cost has been collected throughinsurance. Two (2) faulty hydrants were removed and replaced. Three (3) hydrants were relocated. New operating stems were installed in five (5) hydrants, Three (3) broken gate valve stems were also installed.
In conjunction with Highway Division roadway and sidewalk program, all gate and service boxes on Mill Street, South Street, Orchard Street, So. Main Street, Highland Avenue and Center Street, as related to the work, were raised to new grades.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
METER DEPARTMENT
In the meter department one hundred and eighteen (118) meters were removed during the year - of these, sixty eight (68) were not registering - one (1) frozen and burst - five (5) for noise com- plaints - five (5) to be junked - three (3) with broken bases and thirty (30) for other causes. Eighty eight (88) meters were reset. Two hundred and seventeen (217) new meters were set on pre- viously unmetered services and twenty nine (29) new meters were reset as replacements. On January 1, 1961, the system had forty six hundred and twenty six (4626) metered and two hundred and sixty seven (267), unmetered Active services.
Under joint operation, approximately forty five hundred and sixty (4560) feet of 12" main was installed on Grove Street, to- gether with the erection of two (2) one million gallon Standpipes - one in Holbrook and one in Randolph. Also in the contract was the installation of two (2) Booster Stations, one in Randolph and one at the Randolph-Holbrook line. These stations, when the head pres- sure is down at the main plant, will enable our present pumping equipment to pump up to 500 G. P.M. extra. The installation of the additional Standpipe storage has been sorely needed and will prove very valuable during the peak usage months.
