Conclusion
The police department, consists of one Chief of Police, one Deputy Chief of Police, one Sergeant, which is vacant at this time, and ten patrolmen. We have two ranch type cruisers, one a 1953 model, the other a 1955 model, both of which are equipped with two-way radios and can handle emergency accident ambulance cases. A private con- cern is used in all motor vehicle accident cases when possible, this vehicle is fully equipped to handle all types of accident cases and is also equipped with two-way radio. We have a transmitter and receiv- ing two-way radio in the police station which is manned twenty-four hours of the day. We are connected by radio with most of the sur- rounding towns and the Cape area. All calls given out by the Massa- chusetts State Police radio are monitored by this department as we have a receiving set on the State Police radio wave band.

ANNUAL REPORT
One hundred and twenty-three persons were injured in motor vehicle accidents in Middleboro in 1956, thirteen of these were for severe injuries, one hundred and ten were for minor injuries. There were three fatal accidents in 1956 in which three persons were killed. Two of these accidents took place on Route 28 and the other on Thomp- son Street.
Seventy-three motor vehicle accidents were investigated by police in which there were both personal injury and property damage. Fifty motor vehicle accidents in which there was only property damage, a total of one hundred and twenty-three accidents with on the scene investigation by police. This is the third consecutive year in which Middleborough has not had a fatal pedestrian accident.
Cruiser car number one traveled 27,794 miles in patrols and in- vestigations and took five persons to the hospital as stretcher cases fom auto accidents.
Cruiser car number two traveled 22,757 miles in patrols and in- vestigations and took seven persons to the hospital as stretcher cases from auto accidents.
With 81,000 more cars registered in Massachusetts in 1956 than in 1955, 101,000 more licenses issued and an estimated 750,000,000 more miles traveled than in 1955, Middleborough with its four main high- ways, which are heavily traveled, shows a better ecord for the year than in 1955 except for fatal accidents.
I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the assistance and cooperation given me by the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, the Finance Board, the Fourth Distict Court, the Su- perintendent of Schools and the Teachers, the Telephone Operators, the Staff of St. Lukes Hospital, the Residents of Middleborough and the Offices of this Department, who have helped to make the admin- istration of this Department a success.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Civil Defense Agency of Middleboro had quite a busy year in 1956. The office of the Director was moved from Town Hall and located in the police station.
An auxiliary police department was organized under the direction of Police Chief Gardiner and thirty-four men took the oath and were fingerprinted. The men have completed a first aid course given by Mr. Clarence Hayword and police training course given by Col Steven Martin of the military police. The men received favorable comment from the merchants in town as they patrolled the main streets on Halloween night.
The warden service was reorganized under the direction of Mr. Joseph Walker with thirty-five men joining. These men have received first aid training from Mr. Hayward and some warden training.
The rescue service will soon be organized under the direction of Mr. Henry Lavalle. Mr. Paul Weaver was sent to the State Rescue School in Topsfield for two weeks training. He is now qualified to teach rescue courses. A rescue truck body was given to the agency by Maxim Motors Co. As yet a suitable chassis has not been located to mount the body but it is hoped that one will be available soon.
Three two-way radios and one amplifier were purchased through matching funds which enabled the agency to buy them at half price. A civil defense radio station was set up at the police station which enables Middleboro to reach the State Civil Defense Agency and also carry on intertown communication by means of portables installed in automobiles. A communication service was organized under the di- rection of Mr. Franklyn Standish with thirteen men joining. The station actively went on the air on November 5, 1956 and now takes an active part in all state alerts.
Dr. Bernard Beuthner was appointed as medical officer and will organize the medical service in the near future. First aid supplies have been brought in and stored for emergencies. Plans are being formulated to obtain large quantities of medical supplies during 1957.
Mr. Robert Cushing was apopinted as welfare officer and will organize this group shortly. Other appointments made were Mr. Chester L. Shaw as Finance Officer, Mr. George Lowe as Publicity Of- ficer, and Mr. Ellsworth Standish as Ground Observer Supervisor.
A drawing contest was held for school children during Civil Defense Week with the Merchants of Middleboro donating the prizes. Mrs. Sylvia Matheson, Mrs. Joseph Kunces and Mr. George Lowe acted as judges.
I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to all of the people, too numerous to mention, who have come forward and have given of their time and efforts unselfishly to make the Civil Defense Agency an active organization dedicated to training and preparing our people to meet any emergency which may befall them.
Respectfully submitted, CLAYTON H. THOMAS Director of Civil Defense

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
January 20, 1957
To the President and Board of Trustees, Middleborough Public Library:
It is gratifying to note that gradually reading seems to be coming into its own once more. People are learning to handle television AND reading, just as they learned some years ago to handle radio and read- ing. When radio first came into the home there were dire predictions that reading was ruined forever. Fortunately this proved not to be true. Children learned to use both media of communication much quicker than did their parents. Television has in no way interfered with children's reading; on the contrary it has seemed to stimulate it. Year after year, public libraries have reported that children's read- ing is on the increase. Scientific programs, those on nature and famous people whet the children's curiosity and send them to the public library to look up more about them.
During Book Week in November the library arranged an extensive exhibit of new books for children and young people to encourage them to keep on reading. Of the income received to be spent for books, one third is spent for books for the Young People's Room.
Books placed in the schools as classroom deposits add up to many hundreds of volumes each year. There are at present some five hundred books from the public library in the library and various classrooms in the new Junior High School, and from thirty to fifty books in almost every school room in the town, including the rural schools.
The State Certificate Reading plan cooperatively used by the schools and the library is an incentive for the children to read some of the best books, old and new, and helps in their literature marking at school. The past school year, from September 1955 to June 1956, in Grades Four to Eight, the library awarded 712 small certificates for five books read and 66 honor certificates for twenty books read.
It is most gratifying to note the popularity of phonograph records circulated on library cards just like books. Our collection is now large enough so that no limit is placed on the number of records that can be taken, enabling many borrowers to have added pleasure from new record players received for Christmas. The library has 559 records in albums and single records and of the three speeds most commonly used. It is a fine commentary on the careful use given the records that during the year only two were broken.
The Cranberry Room continues to serve in its special field. The only such collection known to exist, sponsored by the Cape Cod Cran- berry Growers' Association, the room contains every known book, pamphlet and magazine article written on the subject of cranberry culture. Students from far and near consult the material when writing
71
ANNUAL REPORT
theses and cranberry growers visit the room for information on the cranberry industry. A guest book is signed by each one using the room and it is interesting to observe from how many and far away states the visitors have come.
Weekly visits are made to St. Luke's Hospital to carry books and magazines to the bedside of patients. Collections of books are carried to Cedarvale, Green Pastures Rest Homes and to Shaw Home and Montgomery Home. The South Middleboro Branch continues to serve that portion of the town under the efficient direction of Mrs. Perley Warren. Hers is wholly a volunteer service and the effort and interest put into the work is indicated by the fact that the library, located in the Scout Cabin and open only a few hours each week, circulated almost one thousand books.
Members of the staff have attended library conferences in many towns and cities. Miss Veazie of the staff is currently serving as secretary-treasurer of the Round Table for Librarians of Young Adults.
An innovation was tried during the summer by closing the library from June 1st through September 29th at six o'clock on Saturday eve- nings instead of remaining open until eight o'clock. The new plan worked out so well it is very possible it may be repeated and continued through the year.
To improve plant equipment, we added a power mower and equipped about one half the radiators in the building with new valves. To relieve the crowded condition of the catalog in the Young People's Room another ten drawer unit was added.
We appreciate the space given each week by the Middleborough Gazette to the library column. That it pays to advertise we know from the many calls received each week for the books mentioned in the Gazette. Chief Gardiner of the Police Department has been most help- ful in assisting to recover long overdue books.
Many have expressed their friendliness toward the library by generous gifts. Special gratitude is due Mrs. William J. MacDougall for a large donation of books from the library of her late husband who was a member of the Board of Library Trustees; to Creedon's Flower Shop and Mrs. Mary Waterman for gifts of flowers, and to members of the Middleboro Garden Club who provided garden flowers all through the summer and well into the Fall. Mrs. Irving R. Hardy de- serves special mention for her beautiful floral arrangements.
To all these, and to the many others who contributed so gener- ously, to the staff and Board of Trustees, I wish to express my personal gratitude for their friendly and valuable assistance in helping to make the library the cultural center of our community.
