ANNUAL REPORT
the supervision of the pool now takes up most of the playground worker's time, It is only possible for the woman worker to devote one hour of her time, both morning and afternoon, to other activites. The man worker must put in the entire morning on the baseball field, and most of the afternoon at the pool. The various other activites must be supervised in spare moments during the day and very often after hours. These activities include softball, playground ball, batball, volleyball, soccerball, tether ball, quoits, handball, basketball, play on the apparatus, and many other games too numerous to mention. Handicraft groups under the direction of Miss Hillman included reed and raffia work, reed baskets, block printing, leathercraft, knitting, crocheting, and crayon art work.
Statistics for the various leagues and tournaments follow:
Junior Baseball League-4 Teams, 60 Boys.
Senior Baseball League-5 Teams, 75 Boys. Horseshoes-5 Tournaments, 48 Boys.
Tennis-6 Tournaments, 34 Boys, 10 Girls.
Paddle Tennis-4 Touraments, 20 Boys, 10 Girls.
City Championship Tennis Tournament-32 Entries.
City Championship Doubles Tennis Tournament-16 Teams.
Red Cross Learn-To-Swim Campaign-300 Boys and Girls received in- struction and 97 boys and girls were taught to swim and received Beginners' pins.
The Annual Field Day was held during the final week as usual, with an all- day program of sporting events which were attended by a capacity crowd.
At the suggestion of Mr. Anderson I personally supervised two extra weeks at the wading pool. The attendance during the afternoon periods held up very well, although it did not compare with the same period during the regular season. The morning periods attracted only a very few. My observations led me to conclude that it was a mistake to keep the pool open after the close of regular activities. The children have had enough following the completion of the seventh week, and are satisfied.
My thanks are extended to the Park Commissioners for their cooperation, and especially to Park Superintendent John Anderson and his men, who have worked many extra hours that the children might have the right conditions under which to play. This fine spirit of cooperation has always been true of Mr. Anderson during my many years of service at Capron Park.
To the Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club and the Rotary Club, who provided free transportation for the playground boys to Boston, I also wish to extend my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Ray Cooney Alma C. Hillman

REMARKS
Crime is at a minimum in our city and this is due in a large measure to the way the Officers perform thefr duty.
Homes have been checked day and night where the occupants have been away, and in no instance has there been a break in the homes that have been checked.
The registration of bicycles has cut down the theft of bicycles 90%.

ANNUAL REPORT
Our accident rate for the year was better than the previous year showing 28 less accidents and 17 less persons injured and three fatal accidents as compared with four for the previous year. This reduction in accidents is due to the splendid work of our Motor Patrols.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that we increase our department in number with five regular patrolmen and as soon as possible at least two cruisers with two-way radio sets. As we all know that the territory we have to cover is a large one and we need to be in as close contact with our officers as possible.
IN CONCLUSION
At this time I desire to express my appreciation to His Honor the Mayor, H. Winslow Brown and members of the Municipal Council for the coutersy and consideration shown to this department; also to Judge Ralph C. Estes and his associates walter A. Briggs and John W. McIntyre; the clerk of the court, Edwin F. Thayer, who have so willingly aided me in the police work during the past year.
I wish to thank Edmund H. Gingras, Inspector of Motor Vehicles, and his department who have been ready and willing at all times to cooperate with this department.
Respectfully, Frederick H. Blanck, Chief of Police.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of City Forester
127 Thacher Street, Attleboro, Mass., July 19, 1938.
To His Honor the Mayor and Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my annual report as City Forester for the year ending December 31, 1937.
A large number of shade trees were bolted and tied with wire to prevent them from breaking in high wind storms.
Deadwood was removed from shade trees in all parts of the city.
Brush cutting and trimming of standing wood was done by W. P. A. men on watershed at the pumping station.
Some roadside brush was cut; special attention being given to bad curves and corners.
Gypsy moth eggs were creosoted in the residental sections and on shade trees by regular crew, and in the country by W. P. A. men.
Elm trees were sprayed to protect them from the ravages of canker worm and elm leaf beetles that appeared in large numbers.
Spraying was done to prevent spread of gypsy moths but was greatly handi- capped by small sprayer.
I recommend again that a large spray pump be purchased for use in the Forestry Depatrment.
Respectfully yours,
Wm. E. S. Smith, City Forester.
