Sports Schedules
This year, the girls were given for the first time a definite intra-playground schedule which proved very interesting and com- petitive. Schedules were made for volleyball, punch ball, dodge ball and badminton.
For the boys, definite schedules in punch ball and badminton were added to their regular baseball and softball schedules.
Playground Champion
Charlton Street Playground
The playground champion was determined by a point system and the largest number of points garnered by each playground during the season served to decide the winner of the "Southbridge Playground Champions" banner. Points 5-3-1 for first, second, and third places respectively for baseball, softball, punch ball, volleyball, bad- minton, dodge ball, and each event of the Field Day which took place during the final week of playgrounds added to the points won at the swimming meet served to determine the winner of the banner.
Arts and Crafts
Arts and crafts were especially stressed this year as an attrac- tion for the children to make something of value either to them or to their parents. Craft activities were so planned and craft ma- terials were so selected that eachage group was kept busy with some little article to do.
The following tabulation will give an account of the work done by the playground pupils this summer:
There were 31 different craft projects for a total of 1458 articles made during the six weeks of the playground season. The articles made are divided in the following manner:
450 Sewing cards (varied patterns for little girls)
210 Colored pictures (landscapes and birds)
108 Wooden bead necklaces
96 Waffle mats
89 Baskets (sewing, trays of various sized, flower, salt and pepper, ash trays and others.)

Special Events
Doll and Carriage Show
This show was held at Dresser Street Field with each playground participating on August 15 at 10:30 A.M.
The public at large was invited to attend along with the parents of the playground children.
The judges were the playground supervisors who selected the best three carriages and best-dressed dolls. Blue, red and yellow ribbons for first, second and third prizes were awarded to the winners.
Water Day
Close to 500 children took part in the playground water day held at the municipal swimming pool on August 1. Swimming,, swim- ming races and diving were enjoyed by every boy and girl present. Two lifeguards were on duty to insure the safety of the children so that no fatal accidents would occur to mar the success of the day.
Following the water activities, each playground divided into its own group with its supervisor and assistants to enjoy a picnic. Story telling and quiet games prevailed immediately after lunch. Intra-playground volleyball and other various group games were also enjoyed by the whole group.
The water activities of the day were as follows:
Boys 12-16: Plunge for distance, 50-yard swim, 25-yard backstroke, under water swimming and form diving.
Boys 8-12: Plunge for distance, 25-yard swim, 10-yard backstroke,
under water swimming, flutter board race.
Girls 12-16: Plunge for distance, 25-yard swim, form diving.
Girls 8-12: Plunge for distance, 15-yard swim, flutter board race.
Track Meet
The final main event in the Southbridge School Playgrounds pro- gram took place Tuesday, August 15, when boys and girls from the four playgrounds vied for honors in a series of track events and feature contests at Dresser Street Field. The meet started at 9 A.M. and ended at 3:30.
Over 1,000 children, who comprised this year's playground en- rollment, were eligible to compete in the track meet. Ribbons to first, second and third place winners were given for each event.
The meet was divided into four groups: Boys 13-16, Boys 8-13, Girls 13-16 and Girls 8-13.
The events of the day follow:
Boys 13-16: 220-yard relay, 440-yard relay, 100-yard dash, 440- yard run, high jump, running broad jump, ball throw- ing, bicycle race, obstacle race and pie-eating con- test.
-96-
Boys 8-13: Wheelbarrow race, bag race, 100-yard dash, 50-yard dash, 220-yard relay, high jump, running broad jump, bicycle race and pie-eating contest.
Girls 13-16: 100-yard dash, 50-yard dash, 220-yard relay, 440- yard relay, high jump, running broad jump, bicycle race, bag race, wheelbarrow race, three-legged race, and pie-eating contest.
Girls 8-13: 25-yard dash, three legged race, bag race, wheelbar- row race, high jump, running broad jump, 220-yard re- lay, and pie-eating contest.
The director, supervisors and assistants at the playgrounds acted as judges and starters.
Paper Drive
Undoubtedly the most important and highly contested activity of the playground season was the collection of all waste paper and magazines from the Southbridge homes. Never before in any of the previous drives was there so much work done and so much enthusiasm shown. The children of the four playgrounds reached an amazing and almost unbelievable collection total of over 82 tons of paper.
Everyone had a great deal of fun watching the steady proces- sion of children bringing their paper to the playgrounds. Gasoline rationing didn't bother these boys and girls. Every conceivable type of vehicle was used, including carts, wagons, wheelbarrows, bicycles, scooters and all sorts of homemade conveyances. One boy proudly drove up to the West Street playground in his pony and wagon. One enterprising little girl wheeled her paper up to River Street playground in a baby carriage.
We were all well pleased with the fine spirit the children showed in getting the waste paper drive off to a successful start. This was our contribution to the war effort and we were all de- termined to make a go of it. The boys and girls got the best of the campaign right from the beginning, and again demonstrated that they could be depended upon in a pinch.
As a reward for their earnest efforts, the Paper Salvage Com- mittee awarded grand prizes to the three children who collected the most paper. A special prize was given to each boy or girl who col- lected the greatest amount for his playground. In addition, soft- balls were given to children who collected between 500 and 1,000 pounds. All other children who participated were given a free ad- mission to the Strand Theatre.
The winning playground was West Street which amassed a grand total of over 28. tons of waste paper. A cup of ice cream was given to each enrollee at the playground.
The climax came when everyone who had collected over 1,000 lbs. was entitled to a free trip to Boston where they enjoyed the Red Sox vs. Detroit baseball game after meeting personally some of the players from each team. Gold and silver bracelets were awarded to the girls who did not choose the trip to Boston.
The boys and girls of Southbridge gave their best to put the drive over and we certainly did. Thank you boys and girls.
May I personally state my appreciation to everyone who has as- sisted me, directly or indirectly, in making the summer playground season a very successful one.
Respectfully submitted, RAOUL O. LATAILLE Director of Playgrounds

To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Leo J. Cournoyer, Chairman Southbridge, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and ac- counts of the town of Southbridge for the year ending December 31, 1944, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL

Director of Accounts

Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Southbridge for the year end - ing December 31, 1944, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked.
The books of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts being checked to the town meeting records of appropriations and transfers voted, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1944.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the collector's records of payments to the treasurer, with the records in the several departments in which charges originated or in which money was collected for the town, and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The recorded dis- bursements were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the town accountant's books.
The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on January 9, 1945, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The tax title deeds on hand were examined and listed, the amounts transferred from the tax levies to the tax title account being ver- ified and the tax titles as listed being checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes were compared with the warrants issued by the board of assessors, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the recorded collections were checked with payments to the treasurer as recorded on the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved with the controlling ac - counts .
Verification of the outstanding taxes was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received, it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
It was noted that no sewer assessments have been committed by the sewer commissioners since 1941, in which connection attention is called to the provisions of Chapter 228, Acts of 1899, relative to the assessment of sewer charges.
-99-
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, town clerk, and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and the town were verified.
The savings bankbooks and securities representing the invest- ments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and library trustees were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified.
In checking the records of the clerk in the selectmen's depart- ment, it was noted that receipts have been held for several months before making a payment to the town treasurer, in which connection it is recommended that all receipts be promptly paid over to the treasurer.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of the sealer of weights and measures and of the police, fire, high- way, public welfare, school, library and cemetery departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were veri- fied.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
Cooperation was received from all town officials during the progress of the audit, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE
