One of our members, Mr. Ernest Manchin, is a certified Red Cross Instructor who kindly consented to conduct a class on First Aid. As a result thirty of our members have completed the twenty- hour course and have received their certificates. The remainder of the men have completed the ten hour course under Mr. George W. Smith.
On May 3, 1942, General Needham issued his first call for the Dim-out of the Massachusetts coastline. The Auxiliary Police were called out to aid in the enforcing of these laws at their inception. Since that night the Auxiliary Police have been on duty nightly aid- ing the Regular Police to enforce these rules, aid in traffic control, and guarding the coast. A total of over 2300 man hours of duty have been put in by these men, exclusive of the special occasions such as Night Before the Fourth of July, the night of the Fourth of July, Hallowe'en, and all blackout tests when the whole force was called out by the Chief of Police.
The Auxiliary Police have been equipped with Arm Bands, Badges, Clubs, Whistles, and Flashlights. Twelve traffic belts, thirty raincoats, and thirty-six first aid belts have been purchased for the men. I believe that during the inclement weather of Winter, a heavy coat of uniform material and a uniform hat or cap be supplied the men. Since a large number of these men are office workers and pro- fessional men and have no ordinary need for extremely heavy cloth- ing, they are now patrolling in light clothing.
When one considers the number of hours these men have put in at no cost to the town and without thought of recompense or re- muneration, then it is apparent that the town should supply the necessary clothing for the men to be decently comfortable and easily recognizable when they are out enforcing these dim-out laws.
I wish to thank the Committee on Public Safety and the Board of Selectmen for their helpfulness and co-operation during the year. I also want to express my appreciation to the Chief of Police for his help. His tireless energy has been a source of inspiration to the Officers and men of the Auxiliary Police. I also want to thank the Officers and men of the Police Department for their help and guid- ance and kindly co-operation. In addition I wish to express my gratitude for the loyalty and support I have received from the men

[Dec. 31
of the Auxiliary Police. These men have turned out at the request of the Chief of Police in all sorts of weather nightly and they deserve to be publicly commended.
Lastly, I wish to thank the general public who have been so co- operative under trying circumstances when orders have been neces- sarily changed from time to time and have, as such, been confusing. However the public, generally, has realized this and their response to our requests has been excellent.
Respectfully submitted,
EUSTIS B. GRIMES, Chief, Auxiliary Police.
PLANNING AND TECHNICAL DIVISION
The Planning and Technical Division submits the following report:
The purpose and accomplishment of this division has been to function in an advisory capacity to the other branches of the Public Safety Committee and to arrange plans and maps for those in such need.
It has operated under the assistance of Mr. C. Walter Burrill as Co-director and three young men from the High School in search of experience and a means of serving unselfishly. To the now Private Edward McDonald, George Johnson, and Armand Columbe We are indebted for their assistance in:
1. Drawing and outlining of maps for various purposes and of divers sizes and scales and distribution of the same to all the de- partments of the Town and to all Post and Section Wardens.
2. Planning of structures.
3. Collecting of data.
4. Drawing charts and signs.
5. Assistance in lectures.
Also from the High School we wish to acknowledge the assistance of those who types the directory of streets with respect to Air Raid Sections; and Miss Ernestine Moore who acted as temporary sec- retary.
In our desire to be prepared, still, in the most part not having had experience in war destruction and the minimizing of its effects, the Director of this division has been schooled by the War Depart- ment and Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety at Amherst College and Northeastern University respectively in defense against gas and explosives, and has been in contact constantly with the in- structors of those schools. In ten lectures and discussion groups he has endeavored to disseminate the part of that information that was apparently most needed at the time.
Efforts are made by us to be acquainted with the latest informa- tion on protection against air raids and sabotage; and it is our sin- cere desire to serve the Town as far as our capacity permits.
Respectfully submitted,
FREEMAN W. TOWERS,
Director.

AIRCRAFT WARNING SERVICE
Swampscott, Mass. December 29, 1942
The United States Army, Aircraft Warning Service Observation Post maintained in Swampscott has been operating twenty-four hours a day every day this year.
There are now approximately two hundred men and women each serving one three or one four hour watch every week. There are seven watches a day making a total of forty-nine a week. All of them with the exception of three at the present time have four Observers on each watch.
With the exception of four Lynn residents and twenty-three from Marblehead all the rest of the Observers are from Swampscott.
This Post has for the past many months maintained its own operating fund, approximately $300.00 having been raised through the generous contributions of seven Swampscott residents. Practically all of this money has already been used up in improvements to the Post and increasing the comforts of the Observers.
We have also built a new shelter on the roof of the High School which is worth about $275.00 and which cost us nothing at all, as the material was obtained gratis and the construction work was done by several members of the Post who put in two full Sundays of labor on this job.
The co-operation of the Observers as a whole has been excellent and the Post is operating in a most efficient manner.
Respectfully submitted, EUGENE L. MANN, Chief Observer.
HEALTH AND SANITATION DIVISION
December 28, 1942
As Chairman of the Health and Sanitation Division of the Com- mittee on Public Safety, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to report that this division is well organized and the heads of the various units are well qualified and ready to assume and carry out their assign- ments in the event of disaster or any other emergency that imperils or threatens the health and safety of this community whether it be the water supply, sewerage disposal system, garbage and waste dis- posal, our milk and food supply, animal and communicable disease control or any other function which involves the health of our citizens.
The central office of this division is located in the office of the Board of Health in the Town Hall. It is adequately represented at the Report Center and maintains telephone and messenger service with the Center and its various units.
The members of this division have taken part in all blackouts and incidents connected therewith and I wish at this time to express my appreciation of their assistance, co-operation and the faithful manner in which they have responded to the demands of the division.
Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE W. HORTON, Chairman, Health and Sanitation Division.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY

PROTECTION DIVISION Communication Section
During the year 1942 the section has purchased and installed three two way radio transmitters and receivers which are supple- mented by two privately owned equipments. Through this medium of communication it is possible to maintain two way contact with three portable mobile equipments in automobiles from the fixed stations at the Report Center and the Phillips Beach Engine House, it is also possible to communicate with the Warning Center at Salem.
A radio class was conducted at the High School during a five months period from November 1941 to April 1942. Although only four persons passed the government examination, the others have some knowledge which can be utilized in obtaining a limited com- mercial license. An instruction course will be started during January 1943 to help those who wish to obtain these limited licenses and we are endeavoring to sign up at least thirty people. It will require this number of people to properly man the radio equipments.
The station license for the operation of the equipments has been granted by the Federal Communication Committee, and we expect momentarily to receive the individual operator licenses for ten people who have already qualified.
As soon as it can be arranged tests of the equipment will be made and regular practice sessions held.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH E. PIERCE,
Chairman.
PROTECTIVE DIVISION
December 31, 1942
To the Chairman of Civilian Defense
Swampscott, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report on Civilian Defense for the year 1942.
During the past year the Civilian Defense Program in the Town has progressed rapidly and with much success. All the personnel, Wardens, Auxiliary Police and Firemen, etc., have given much of their time in making this a worthwhile service to our community.
At a recent test blackout the defense unit as a whole was given a very good mark for efficiency by the inspecting offcials.
As to Dim-out and Blackout, if the citizens of Swampscott will continue to co-operate as they have in the past, I am sure that the Army can find Swampscott blacked out as regards shipping off our coast.
If a citizen wants advice as to dim-out or blackout, of if they find or see anything irregular along our coast or anywhere, the first thing to do is call your local police. If wardens are on patrol duty, they may be of assistance; but your local police should always be notified first.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD L. HAMILL, Chairman of Protective Division.

REPORT OF IDENTIFICATION OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF SCHOOLS
For Swampscott Committee on Public Safety
A state photographer has been present on several occasions to photograph 1234 Swampscott Defense Corps Workers. Records of these are kept on file and form a part of the records essential to cover government requirements for insurance of workers against personal injury due to enemy activity. 68 emergency vehicles have been provided with identification stickers permitting them to move during emergency situations when on official business.
Arm bands have been supplied for all qualified members of the Citizen's Defense Corps.
During the year 36 classes for instruction have been held and four classes are currently in session for Warden Training and First Aid. Faithful service on the part of instructors and attentive mem- bers of the classes have helped to promote the success of these classes. Swampscott A. R. P. instructors are: Mrs. Andrew Heath, Mrs. Herman McStay, Mrs. Wilfred Currier, Fred Seaton, Robert Mansfield, and Theodore Sargent.
Lynn Chapter, American Red Cross, and the General Electric First Aid staff have generously assisted in conducting Standard, Ad- vanced and Instructor's courses in First Aid. More than half of our workers have had the benefit of this training. Swampscott First Aid Instructors have included: Flora Boynton, Greta Baer, Marion Benvie, John Dunne, Florence Fagan, George Hutchinson, Gertrude Lee, Lennox Lindsay, Jr., Harold Martin, Shirley Marsh, Helen Macbeth, Ethel Parkhurst, Germaine Repetto, Eileen Soper, Doris Soutter, Luke Thompson, Grace Whiteacre.
Particular mention may be made of the fact that Swampscott is the ONLY Massachusetts community with a Gas Officer and a Gas Reconnaissance Agent that have been trained at a War Department Gas Specialist's School. Two other men were trained in Gas Defense at Massachusetts State College courses during the summer and

another man is a graduate of the Amherst Civilian Protection School. Thus Swampscott has skilled personnel ready for emergency.

THEODORE C. SARGENT.
SALVAGE COMMITTEE
I beg to report that from the time of my appointment there has been collected 14,000 pounds of prepared tin cans, and 88 gross tons of steel, iron, scrap, and 2,000 pounds of copper, lead, etc. The major credit for the good showing made by Swampscott is owed to the school children, Mr. Mansur, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Ryan, Surveyor of Highways, and Mr. Burk, Superintendent of Parks.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL FREEDMAN, Chairman.
