Town, of Swampscott
Department of Civil Defense
Forrest E. Mason, Jr., Director
June 18, 1960 was Civil Defense day for the Town of Swampscott. It was on this day that it moved into its new quarters vacated by the Fire Depart- ment when they moved to their new station on Burrill Street.
The significance of this move is four-fold mainly:
a. All C.D. equipment is now stationed in one place.
b. All C.D. personnel can be provided with adequate accommodations while on duty.
c. C.D. drills for all departments can be maintained on a year-round basis.
d. The Director can now coordinate all C.D. Units in case of need by any town department or in a case of a national disaster.
With great pride, I want to say that our C.D. personnel responded to six emergency calls during the past year including: Hurricane Donna, and the unfortunate air crash at Logan Airport.
The men who responded to these emergencies are volunteers and they deserve recognition one and all. It is unfortunate that space does not permit this. I can say "Thank you" from myself and our townspeople.
As I have said before, the home is the basic unit of the community, and the basic unit on which defense of the home front must be built. Civil De- fense looks to you the people of our town, to take an active role in protecting your home. No one else can do that job for you.
A few simple steps for family Civil Defense are as follows:
1. Know your air-raid alert signals and what to do when they sound.
2. Have at least one member of your family take a Red Cross First Aid course.
3. Prepare a room or area in your cellar that will afford you the most protection.
4. Have at least twenty-one (21) days' supplies of canned goods and water stored for each member of your family.
5. Have a planned Civil Defense action with your family so that they will know what to do in case of any emergencies that might happen.
I am very grateful to all the members of Swampscott Civil Defense and their families for their interest and long man hours that have been spent in maintaining our equipment and for the many hours spent on drills.
I am also grateful to the Board of Selectmen, to the Chief of the Fire Department, to the Chief of the Police Department and to all town depart- ments who have done so much to help the Swampscott Civil Defense.

1960 Annual Report
Fire Department
Walter M. Champion, Jr., Chief
During the year the fire department answered 625 calls.
BUILDINGS
On June 18, 1960, we moved into our new Central Fire Station on Burrill Street. This new location with its set back from the street, makes access- ibility much easier and safer. The town can be well proud of this beautiful building.
Our Phillips Beach Station is in reasonably good condition.
PERSONNEL
On February 3, 1960, Mr. Alfred L. Stover was retired after 32 years of faithful and efficient service to the town. In addition to his firefighting duties, Mr. Stover had charge of the maintenance of our fire alarm system.
On April 29, 1960, Charles E. Fall was appointed a permanent firefighter and on July 22, 1960, Charles E. Snow, Jr., was appointed a permanent fire- fighter.
On January 18, 1960, Joseph P. Ryan, Jr., was appointed a permanent in- termittent firefighter and on December 8, 1960, Donald L. Stinson was ap- pointed a permanent intermittent firefighter.
APPARATUS
During the year we put into service a new 750 gallon pumper. This new equipment replaced our 1941 engine #3.
Our 15 year old ladder truck requires periodic and costly repairs and should be replaced in the near future. All other apparatus is in good condition.
FIRE PREVENTION
Our usual inspection program was continued throughout the year and all buildings permitted by law were inspected.
Inspection of private dwellings are invited, all that is necessary is to tele- phone the Central Fire Station and an inspector will be dispatched to your home.
Our practice of spraying Christmas trees with a fire retardant solution was continued and many residents took advantage of this service
I am very grateful to the Board of Selectmen, to the members of my department, to the members of the Auxiliary Fire Department and to all Town Departments and to all others who have co-operated with the Fire Department during the year.
IN MEMORIAM
On August 25, 1960, this department was saddened by the death of retired Chief James Warnock who had served as chief of this department for 20 years and who was a member of this department for 42 years.

1960 Annual Report
Personnel Board
M. Stanley Metz, Chairman
John G. McLearn, Clerk Frederick N. Balsor
Warren J. Doherty Robert L. Yasi
In accordance with Section 8, Article 9, the Personnel Board herewith submits its second annual report to the Board of Selectmen and to the citizens of the Town of Swampscott.
As ordered by the 1960 Annual Town Meeting, the Personnel Board met with representatives of the Finance Committee, Public Works Department. Public Works Department and the Library Department to consider a uniform vacation plan. Many suggestions were made by the various departments and information on vacation plans of neighboring cities and towns was obtained. There is some inconsistency in our different departments, and as a result, the Personnel Board has not yet decided whether it is practical to have a uniform plan.
Due to the resignation of Gerald Pashby, Social Worker, a request was made by the Board of Public Welfare for the hiring of a suitable replacement. The Board of Public Welfare stated it would be impossible to secure the ser- vices of the Social Worker they needed at a lower step than the top of Grade 6 of the Classification schedule. The Personnel Board agreed and granted the Welfare Board permission to hire Mrs. L. Margaret Smith as Social Worker at a salary of $5,382.00 per year, which is the maximum step rate under Grade 6 of the Classification and Pay Scale Program. No change was made in this classification.
During the year, the Personnel Board met with representatives of various departments in an effort to arrive at a uniform Sick Leave Plan. The Per- sonnel Board is now in the process of working out such a plan.
Many requests have been received for changes in classification. After careful consideration and study, the Personnel Board will make a report on such requests to the 1961 Annual Town Meeting.
Citizens Traffic Committee
Dr. Charles E. Donovan, Chairman
Maxwell Field Harold Norton Philip Kitfield
Arthur L. Burt Barbara MacGregor . Joseph Beck, Secretary
The Swampscott Citizens Traffic Committee held 12 regular monthly meetings with almost full attendance of the Committee at each meeting. A representative of the Police and School Departments attended along with a representative of the Department of Public Works when necessary.
The Committee handled all citizen complaints, reporting its findings to the Selectmen. Special emphasis was placed on the White Line Program, Traffic Signals and Islands, Traffic Enforcement, All-Night Parking, Studies of Congested Areas, Bus Stop Locations and School Yard Conditions.
The Citizens Committee and Selectmen were cited again by the Massachu- setts Safety Council for their program of outstanding cooperation in a pro- gram to reduce traffic accidents in Swampscott. A study is underway, in coop- eration with the Police Department, to determine Swampscott's Most Danger- ous Locations during 1960. This list will be used to determine Priority Im- provements for 1961.
