The above named groups constituted an excellent organization de- veloped under the direction of Walter E. Moore, who guided the move- ment until September of 1942. The co-operation of the many group chair- men, their assistants and of each individual in Civilian Defense con- tributed greatly to the creation of a smooth working organization. No small measure of credit can be given the many Town Departments whose personnel are represented in each important branch of service.

Liaison with the Red Cross has resulted in a co-ordination of effort: which, in the main, has established the responsibility of each organization in any given occurrence and a thorough understanding of the duties of each. This has been largely effected through the understanding and coun- sel of Mr. Stanley Heald, Chairman of Weymouth Chapter.
It is interesting to note that Weymouth has pioneered in development. of Civilian Defense services to the extent that our group was
1. First to organize and equip emergency hospitals such as those which are kept ever ready at Weymouth High School, Nevin, School and Hunt School.
2. First to organize and equip a complete two way radio emer- gency communication unit;
3. First to organize a mounted patrol of horsemen within its Auxiliary Police;
4. First to organize a voluntary motorcycle patrol unit;
5. First to develop the use of carrier pigeons in emergency com- munications;
6. First to establish a Technical Planning Division;
7. Weymouth's Evacuation plan developed under Mr. Albert Vinal has been made the standard plan for Massachusetts.
We are justly proud of our personnel, 2649 of whom have made them- selves available for duty subject to call day or night; and amenable to discipline by subscribing to the required oath of service. All serve with- out recompense and without allowance for personal expense.
Our wardens and auxiliaries have, under excellent leadership, re- sponded to the call for the several state, area, and local tests, and have ably and tactfully administered the dim-out requirements of the Army Command.
Our organization has, in common with like organizations in other cities and towns, entered into an uncharted field of endeavor. It is neces- sary that much of our progress be made through the "trial and error" method. In the main, our mistakes have been few and a tolerant com- munity has overlooked them and assisted in perfecting our services.
We have had the advice and assistance of visionary planners, capable. executives, and willing and competent workers, and wish to publicly acknowledge our gratitude to the many who have so willingly assisted.
In the expenditure of monies, the details of which are carried else- where in this Town report, a proportionately small amount has been expended for administration, supplies, and telephone and electric charges. The main expenditures have gone into equipment for our major services, for fire fighting apparatus, hose, gas masks, equipment for wardens and auxiliary police, medical and hospital supplies, signal apparatus, canteen equipment, radio communication equipment, report center fixtures and protective supplies for gas and decontamination units. The larger part of this material with other fire-fighting equipment, helmets and implements provided on loan from the Office of Civilian Defense at Washington and all medical and hospital supplies will be available to the Town after the close of hostilities for use in the local departments and in the contem- plated hospital when it becomes advisable to construct and equip this hospital.
While the 14th Military Police Company is not strictly a concern of local Civilian Defense, yet being first organized under our auspices, we have tried to be co-operative with the company in its development,
140
equipping, and training. The Airplane Spotter's Tower staffed under direction of the American Legion and a part of the Army Air Warning Service is in like position. In each instance we have been called upon to administer the town appropriation to cover these units and have will- ingly assisted them and in turn received their generous and effective help when it was required.
There is a definite need of added personnel in our many departments, to replace many who have entered the armed services and to fill vacancies due to removal, change of status or death in our ranks.
In conclusion we wish to thank each and every Town Department and individual that has responded to our many calls and to solicit the con- tinued support of all our citizens in this necessary and important work.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED C. SHEEHY, Chairman HERBERT W. CAUSER, Vice-Chairman HELEN M. HUNT, Secretary
