Mr. Green and Mr. MacKenney will have the super- vision of the pupils in the air raid shelter. Miss Hodgdon will have charge of feeding everyone if the raid lasts. Miss Pittman is responsible for any physically handi- capped children until they reach their special air raid shelter on the first floor. Each home-room teacher is re- sponsible for his pupils as a whole; individual cases of need should be turned over to the proper people.
The district schools have had drills in which they put on their hats and coats and lie face down in their desig- nated places away from windows and protected by desks or tables. If the raid is not serious they may sit and sing in their places. Each school has two carefully selected neighbors assigned to go to the school and help in any way, especially in calming and entertaining the children. All these teachers and helpers realize that it is of greatest importance that they remain calm and show no signs of fear, since small children are guided by facial expressions in a time of emergency.
A teacher's meeting for all teachers is held at the High School every Monday evening. During the first part of the meeting their responsibilities and duties are explained to them, an opportunity is given them to question or improve any part of the precautions program, and any changes that have arisen since the last Monday meeting are announced. The second part of the meeting is given over to the study of First Aid under Mr. Blakeman, Mr. Butler and Miss Pittman.
A set of as simple rules as possible has been compiled for distribution to all pupils in the Duxbury Schools. These rules give suggestions as to what they should do in an air raid under many different circumstances. We are not assuming the responsibility of the children out-

side of school hours, but feel that it is our duty to spread this information.
this information. These rules as well as the whole organ- ization of air raid precautions have been checked and approved by Mr. Richard Whitney, Chief Air Raid Warden of Duxbury.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET K. ELLIOTT, Special Air Raid Warden for the School.

SIDNEY C. SOULE
Resolution at Town Meeting, 1942
Addressed by Charles Clark :
"Be it known that on this seventh day of March in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-two, as the three hundred and fifth Annual Town Meeting came to a close, the assembled citizens of Duxbury appreciatorily arose to 'Mark the perfect man and behold the upright' SIDNEY C. SOULE, for thirty-five years a Selectman, with Honor and Fidelity. That Sidney C. Soule may daily each hour and minute enjoy a memorial of their genuine affection, profound respect and sincere good wishes, a watch and chain of gold suitably inscribed was bestowed upon him."
The gift was from many of his friends, and the inscrip- tion on the watch :
Presented to SIDNEY C. SOULE Duxbury, Mass. Thirty-five years Selectman and ever a friend 3 - 7 - 42
Mr. Soule was born November 14, 1863, in the same house in which he now lives. He is a descendant of George Soule of the Mayflower.
He married Mercy A. Parker on November 20, 1901, and of their eight children six are now living.
People for miles around enjoy driving to his farm for quality vegetables and berries that he raises and passes out with such cheer and charm. He enjoys a modest real estate business. He is the picture of health. His retire- ment to such a pleasant life was definitely his own choice.
SIDNEY C. SOULE
MISS HARRIET J. FORD
Died December 5, 1940, in Duxbury. In her will she made the following bequest : "I give the sum of $25,000.00, the same to be held as a permanent charitable trust fund to be known as the 'Jonathan and Ruth Ford Fund'."
The income from this fund is to be used for the benefit of such resident of the town as may need medical or nursing care of any kind and be unable of their own means to pay for same, or for any other assistance deemed necessary by the town.
The desire of this fund to continue in perpetu- ity the helpfulness which she, her sister Florence, and her father and mother had manifested to the people of Duxbury during their lives is a reminder to us all of the loyalty and devotion which her family felt to their town and ours.
In making this provision she has given to the town much more than money, and we would record our gratitude for both gifts.
DR. REUBEN PETERSON
Died at his home on Powder Point, November 25, 1942. He was 80 years old. It was as he would have wished. In the house which he had built, on the farm where he had spent so many happy boy- hood days, in the town which he loved, and to which he gave generously of his time, his talent and his personality during the days which he called, laughingly, the days of his retirement.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, was the scene of his long and rich professional life. There he was surgeon- teacher-friend, for forty rich and fruitful years.
His unfailing sense of humor, and his under- standing heart were the qualities by which his neighbors best remember him and are not the least of his generous gifts to Duxbury.
He was our town Historian and also rendered valuable service on many committees.
Dr. Peterson with his wife celebrated their Golden Wedding in 1940. There are two sons and two daughters.
MR. GORDON TWEED
Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1873. Bought a home on Washington Street, Duxbury in 1924. He registered as a voter in 1926. Elected a Select- man on March 12, 1927 and again on March 10, 1928, but was not a candidate again.
His terms of office were inspiring to all who knew him. He was kind but great experience had taught him firmness.
Died at his home on February 9, 1942. Survived by wife, son and daughter.
DR. GEORGE MARTYN MAYERS
For ten years a member of the School Com- mittee. He moved to Duxbury in 1920 from Au- burndale. His dentistry he carried on at his home in Tinkertown.
He was born March 5, 1875 and died July 25, 1942. He is survived by his wife, son and daugh- ter.
His many friends remember his kindly manner and love for the great out-doors.

Report of Selectmen
To the Citizens of Duxbury :
The Board of Selectmen herewith submit the Annual Report of the various Officers and Department Heads for the year ending December 31, 1942.
The Global War we have been engaged in during the past 13 months has upset the usual routine we have en- joyed in former years.
We have felt the pinch of Rationing. This has been responsible for many changes in our daily lives. Lack of Transportation affects a rural community to a greater degree than areas having public transportation.
Your several Town Officials have had to cope with these problems as well. The labor situation is becoming serious. The heavy oil used in maintaining the surface of our highways can only be obtained in meager amounts. A priority rating is necessary to obtain bridge planking.
The Sea Wall project at Duxbury Beach had to be aban- doned because of the oversight of a technical point in the Bill passed by the Legislature in 1941. Also, State De- partment of Public Works funds including money for this project, had been side tracked by the Governor for the use of the Committee on Public Safety, for Civilian De- fense. The Sea Wall will be completed when the War is won.
During the year it has been necessary to organize and maintain several committees to carry out the programs of Public Safety, War Transportation, Rationing, etc. The expense of these organizations has been confined to
-13-
equipment and supplies, as all Personnel is on a voluntary basis.
There is one exception to date. The Federal Govern- ment provides a clerk for the Rationing Board. Should the Rationing program expand, as now seems likely, extra clerical help will be necessary, and the Town will have to bear the expense.
Another item which will very likely add to the expense of the Soldiers' Relief Department is the aid to the de- pendents of Soldiers and Sailors in the present war. The law provides that the Federal, State and Local Govern- ments provide for the dependents.
The major change of local interest was made in the Board of Fire Engineers. Chief H. E. Merry asked to be retired on pension, which the Selectmen agreed to do, provided Chief Merry established the fact that he was entitled to a pension under the law, Section 58 of Chapter 32. To date he has not established that fact, and has formally abandoned legal claim thereto. Upon advice of The Town Counsel we have declined to provide a pension.
The Fire Department has functioned well under new leadership.
Several minor suggestions have been adopted by the various Departments, such as Travel on a Mileage basis, listing of all outgoing Toll Calls made on the Town phones, which has effected a reduction in the cost of telephone service.
All the departments have kept well within their bud- gets, with one exception. The Assessors Department, in changing to the simplified modern system, purchasing a two year supply of forms, etc., have overdrawn their budget to the extent of $99.85.
-14-
And now a final word in our capacity as Finance Com- mittee.
We all realize the cost of living is increasing. Federal and State taxes are bound to rise. The Citizens of Dux- bury alone, can determine our local tax rate. If we are to lighten the burden of taxation, we should commit our- selves to get along with the mere necessities. We therefor suggest that the heads of the various departments keep these facts in mind when arranging their budgets.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP W. DELANO,
CHARLES R. CROCKER, WALTER G. PRINCE,
Selectmen of Duxbury.
