Report of Chief of Police
January 11, 1951
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Palmer, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I submit the annual police report for the year ending Decem- ber 1950 for your consideration.
537 complaints were prosecuted in the District Court of Eastern Hampden against 452 males and 7 females of whom 127 persons were residents and 332 non-residents. Six complaints were issued for delinquency.
In addition to the above mentioned activities the department was responsible for solving numerous breaks in camps and summer homes in the surrounding area. Stolen property to the value of over $17,000 was recovered and the perpetrators of the breaks taken into custody. Five fugitives were arrested, six stol- en autos recovered and 178 summons served for other departments.
It is pleasing to report Palmer had no fatal auto accidents during 1950. The newly acquired cruiser has provided added protection throughout the town especially during the early morning hours. Cruiser patrol coverage was 19,916 miles.
We still have a bad traffic situation in the Shearer's Cor- ner area. The ever increasing traffic using the intersection of Rte. 20, Rte. 181 and Shearer St. should be regulated. The Dept. of Public Works of Mass. has advised action would be taken to facilitate the moving of traffic at this intersection, but to date we have no information as to the method to be used. It is very difficult for pedestrians, especially children, to cross this area in safety because of the constantly moving vehicular traffic. In my opinion traffic lights is the solution to remedy this condi- tion.
Almanzar J. Renaud was appointed permanent patrolman April 18, 1950 and John Noga was named to the intermittent list on January 5, 1950. Both men have performed their duties creditably.
71
I recommend the purchase of a two way radio communica- tion system. Considering we are in a state of emergency, such a communication system would be invaluable not only to the police department but for civilian defense purposes.
In view of the increased cost of living and the prevailing, high wages in industry, I recommend an increase in the salaries of the regular members of the department. The men are very generous with their time often responding to calls during their off hours.
I wish to thank your honorable board for your excellent cooperation at all times. In behalf of the members of the de- partment and myself, I wish to acknowledge appreciation of your recognition of the work performed by the department as express- ed in two letters of commendation.
I desire to express my appreciation to the members of the department for being attentive to their duties; to the special police for responding to emergencies. To everyone who has been helpful to the department in any way we are very thankful and hope to continue to merit their aid in the future.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES F. DONAHUE
Chief of Police.

The Dutch Elm Disease constitutes a major problem. The mounting toll of dead and diseased trees is alarming. The dan- ger of losing every Elm Tree is frightening when we learn of the fact that no effective remedy for ridding this disease has been found. A sanitation program for controlling its spread; namely disposing of all dead and diseased trees, a thorough prun- ing and spraying of all healthy trees are the only effective wea- pons we have at present.

Report of Park Commissioners
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Palmer:
The Park Commissioners herewith present their annual re- port for the year 1950:
The recreational facilities of the town have been maintained to their full extent and increased in several instances, particu- larly at Three Rivers where the tennis court, commenced in 1949, has been completed and put into operation, and at Bonds- ville where a substantial amount of playground equipment has been set up in cooperation with the Bondsville Parent-Teachers Association and the Selectmen of Palmer and Belchertown. A storage building to house the Park equipment as well as to pro- vide working space for its repair and upkeep has been nearly completed at Legion Field. When finished in early 1951, it will provide ample facilities for this purpose for many years to come and should also result in better maintenance of our equipment.
Attendance at the various Park areas has continued to in- crease, particularly at Burleigh Park and Pool, and it is plan- ned to enlarge the pool during the coming Spring, to accommo- date the many young people from all four precincts who use it daily throughout the Summer months.
The Commissioners again express their appreciation of the co-operation of the townspeople, the various town departments, and the faithful service of our caretaker.

Report of Forest Fire Warden
December 31, 1950
To the Board of Selectmen
Town of Palmer, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of the Forest Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1950.
During this year our Forest Fire Department responded to alarms for twenty-five forest, brush and/or grass fires, six of which were for fires at the Town Dump, some of which required that a watch be maintained to see that the surrounding property did not catch on fire.
This year we also sent a crew of men to help the Town of Wales when a fire of serious proportions threatened that Town.
It was necessary to replace the engine of the Forest Fire Truck this year when a break-down occurred while responding to a fire. This was accomplished overnight thru the cooperation of one of our local garages.
We have added two portable radios to our department this year for use in the woods and on the fire grounds to keep in con- tact with our forces. These should also be of great help during this National Emergency.
The condition of the equipment and supplies is excellent, and with the exception of the addition of more hose for our depart- ment we are in an excellent condition.
Very truly yours,
VICTOR M. FRENCH
Forest Warden

The Library now owns 16,850 volumes, of whch 9,813 are fiction and 7,037 non-fiction and reference books. A large num- ber of obsolete and worn-out volumes have been discarded dur- ing the year and a definite effort has been made to replace them with fiction of the better type and up-to-date reference and non- fiction works. The use of the Library facilities has shown a substantial increase, particularly at our Three Rivers Branch, and present indications are that the increase will continue. At- tendance at the reading and reference rooms was 2,802 for the year and the Library now has a total of 3,149 registered bor- rowers.
A Children's Story Hour was inaugurated late last Fall and is meeting with an excellent response. Designed for children in the lower grammar school grades, two classes are now being held weekly at the children's room in the main Library.
Several minor changes and improvements have been made at the Library in order to provide better service and greater convenience for our patrons. ,

The school enrollment in particular and the town population in general were saddened during the recent year by the death of Clifton H. Hobson, our Superintendent of Schools for almost four decades.
In the passing of Superintendent Hobson, the school system and the community lost a faithful servant-a man who first and foremost placed his interest in the schools and the pupils far above anything else. He was at heart a schoolmaster, and his fine leadership during his long tenure as the school head re- flected down through the years, and today the Palmer School system stands as an everlasting monument to the man who de- voted his life to the betterment of the town's educational facilities.
82
Annual School Report
Following two months of careful scrutinizing of twenty-four candidates for the superintendency, the School Committee ap- pointed Donald F. McCaffrey of Hudson as successor to the late Mr. Hobson. Mr. McCaffrey assumed his new position on Jan- uary 2, 1951, and the Committee feels that the unanimous choice of Mr. McCaffrey will be completely substantiated as time moves on. After service as Superintendent of Schools in the towns of Marion, Wareham, and Hudson, the new school head assumes his new duties with a confidence and ability which already have stamped him as one who should do considerable towards developing the Palmer school system as a shining beacon to the type of education which we, in a free-loving America, expect. He is especially trained in the elementary field and already has set himself towards coping with problems which the times and our growth in youthful population have created.
To reflect briefly on the accomplishments of the past year, the School Committee points with pride to new additions to the High School faculty who already are proving their worth. While we have always been proud of our teachers in general, we have not been too proud of the physical conditions of the schools. However, during the past two years, we have been able to ac- complish progressive work in this respect. We urge the resi- dents of the town to visit the various buildings and note the improvements made. The Committee feels that there is every indication that the dollars appropriated for schools have been well spent.
Since our improvement program has been more or less on a four-year program, we call your attention to the desire of the Committee to install new lighting fixtures in the grammar school buildings at Thorndike, Three Rivers, and Quabaug, thus giving all our children in elementary and secondary schools the benefit of modern lighting.
It is not our desire to go any deeper into details, but we feel that there is a real responsibility in serving on the School Com- mittee in present times. The world is confused, the youth in practically every country broken and discouraged. War stares at us for the third time within thirty-five years. The nation is
83
talking billions for devastating bombs, military equipment, and planes which streak through the skies. Do not let us forget the all-important responsibility of providing the best possible educa- tion for your youngsters, so that we may continue to foster a fine American spirit because they are the foundation upon which we must build our future America. Yes, they are the men and women of tomorrow who must pay today's invoices for our mili- tary equipment. Let's give them a "break". They are our hope.
