Little League
Little League was conducted for the fourth year playing about 48 games in its regular schedule. Little Bigger League finished its second successful year at the field this year. They played a complete schedule of about 36 games which start at about 6:00 P. M. and finish about 7:45 P. M.
General
The field was used for all sorts of purposes of a recrea- tional or athletic nature. The Central Massachusetts Musi- cians put on their second annual musicale during the year; the Wells cheering squad used it for their practice area, va- rious town athletes used it for conditioning purposes, horse- shoes, ping pong and running were in progress most of the time.
Maintenance
Over 75 cubic yards of loam were spread and rolled to bring the big diamond into good playing condition and back to its proper level. This must be done periodically, a new hot water heater was installed during the year, the bleachers and entire grand stand were repainted and the dugouts were re- paired, reseated on cement and painted.

HENRY STREET FIELD
Report to the General Chairman of the
Recreation Committee.
Dear Sir:
Henry Street Field recreation area was supervised daily from 3:00 P. M. until 9:00 P. M. from about the first of May to the middle of October.
74
Approximately 115 softball games were played on the field with about 160 players participating and 100 to 400 spec- tators at each game.
The softball diamond was also used extensively by boys 8 to 18 years of age throughout the day from June to Septem- ber.
Volley Ball [ ..
The volley ball court was used every night by children and grownups also from 6:00 o'clock to 9:00 P. M.
Basketball
The two basketball baskets were used every night by 10 to 20 boys. The horseshoe courts were in constant use, and the two ping pong tables were busy from morning until dark every day.
A large sand box, 12 swings, quoits and playground balls of different kinds which are available at the area afforded the children of the area thousands of hours of recreation through- out the summer. There is now at the field an area where about 200 cars can be parked without driving on any part of the playing area.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS E. BRUNELLE, Chairman JAMES LAPRIORE EDGAR McCANN

SWIMMING POOL REPORT
Mr. Willard Stark, Chairman
Swimming Pool Committee
Southbridge, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Stark:
At your request, I am submitting my sixth annual report on the activities of the swimming pool for 1954.
Attendance
From June 19 to September 6, a total of 22,500 persons used the pool's facilities; 2,700 June, 14,800 July, 6,500 August, 500 September. Average daily attendance-281.
Rescues
Ten children, suffering in varying degrees from cramps, exhaustion and panic were helped to shore by the lifeguards during the swimming season. Many of these cases could have been much more serious had it not been for the efficient su- pervision of the lifeguard staff.
75
Instruction
The Red Cross Swimming Program, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Duquette, continued its fine work started a few years ago. Over 150 children were given instructions in swim- ming and lifesaving during the regular morning classes. As remarked in last year's report, such formal programs, to- gether with the daily informal instruction given by members of the staff, will do much to develop stronger and more skill- ful swimmers in Southbridge.
Health & Safety
A continuous flow of city water and chlorination provided the chief safeguards against bacterial growth during the swimming season. These are perhaps the most efficient means of control we have under present conditions.
In conclusion, I wish to thank you and your committee for the splendid cooperation we received from you during the swimming season. It will be a pleasure to work with men who show unselfish devotion to the cause of recreation in our town.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD DESROCHES, Swimming Pool Supervisor
REPORT OF BY-LAWS COMMITTEE
Board of Selectmen
Southbridge, Massachusetts
Dear Sirs:
The By-Laws Committee appointed by your Board wish to make a report on our progress as follows: Herewith we tender copies of the proposed by-laws.
We have sent a copy to the assistant attorney general for his comment and signature. We are also giving copies to various town officials including the Police Chief and Fire Chief as well as all the attorneys in town.
We have also made copies available to various companies and people in the trades. There will be a limited number of copies available in the Town Clerk's office for those who may request them.
We hope to be able to have at least a public hearing for further discussion.
From our appropriation we have spent approximately $119.67 and cannot determine how much will be required for printing and other expenses at this time.
Respectfully yours, BY-LAWS COMMITTEE TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE O. J. LALIBERTE, Chairman
