DUTCH ELM DISEASE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen:
I wish to submit my report for the Dutch Elm Disease De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1957.
I sprayed town-owned elm trees twice with a Hydraulic Sprayer, using Malathion and DDT Emulsion. Dormant in the spring to control Elm Bark Beetle, to protect elm trees from beetle feeding all bark surfaces of living elms, that, may be in- vaded by Bark Beetles from infected wood. Summer leaf spray) to protect elm leaves from being fed upon by Elm Leaf Beetle. It feeds on the leaves of elms, and when it is abundant the leaves become brown and fall off, such defoliation weakens the trees, and many valuable elms have been killed as a result of outbreaks of this insect.
Nine Dutch Elm Diseased trees were removed and burned, also removed deadwood out of elm trees on town-owned prop- erty.

REPORT OF THE SWIMMING POOL SUB-COMMITTEE
To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee Dear Sir:
At your request, I am submitting my ninth annual report on the activities of the swimming pool for 1957.
Attendance
From June 19 to August 30, a total of 32,200 persons used the pool's facilities: 4,760, June, 23,402, July, 4,000, August. Av- erage daily attendance - 358.
Rescues
Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the absolute neces- sity for appointing competent, efficient, and responsible life- guards to supervise water activities. Thirteen children, suffer- ing in varying degrees from cramps, exhaustion, and panic were helped to shore by the lifeguards. Many of these cases could have been much more serious had it not been for the efficient supervision of the lifeguard staff.
Instruction
The Red Cross Swimming Program, under the direction of Mr. Lamarre and Miss Gagnon, offered over 200 children the opportunity for instruction in swimming and life-saving dur- ing regular morning classes at the pool. Such formal pro- grams, together with the daily informal instruction given by members of the staff, will do much to develop stronger and more skillful swimmers in Southbridge.
Health and Safety
A continuous flow of water into the pool provided the chief safeguard against bacterial growth during the swimming sea- son. This is perhaps the most efficient means of control we have under present conditions.
149
Safety of the pool was further enhanced by the modern equipment now available to our lifeguards. The aqua-lung, the portable resuscitator and the electronic megaphone, all avail- able to our staff, certainly add immeasurably to the safety of the pool.
In conclusion, I wish to thank you and your committee for the fine cooperation we received from you during the swim- ming season. It is always a pleasure to work with men who are so deeply interested in promoting better recreational facili- ties for our town.
Respectfully submitted, EDGAR BOURGEOIS, Chairman Swimming Pool Sub-Committee.

REPORT OF THE HENRY STREET FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Chairman of the Recreation Committee Dear Sir:
The Henry Street Athletic Field consists of two softball areas with seating capacity of 150 persons.
Six teams in the Community Softball League and four in the Industrial League availed themselves of the diamonds from April to October, five nights a week, plus independent games played on Saturdays and Sundays. The teams' rosters consisted of approximately 150 players with attendance of 75 to 300 fans nightly.
Other age groups found recreation in four Ping Pong tables, a Basketball Court, 12 Swings, 4 See-Saws, 3 Zelballs, 3 Horse- shoe Courts, 1 Quoit Court, 1 Sandbox and 2 Volley Ball Courts.
The participation in these activities varied from 50 to 150 nightly.
Other uses of this area were an All Star Softball game, Baseball every day throughout vacation by boys of ages 12 to 15, a girls' Softball team, a Circus and a Jimmy Fund Softball Game.
Respectfully submitted, LOUIS E. BRUNELLE, Chairman Henry St. Sub-Committee.

REPORT OF THE ALUMNI FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE
To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee Dear Sir:
Alumni Field was put into shape early in the season and was in full swing throughout the summer. The field was used for the school physical education program every day school was in session from early spring until closing time in June. Three High Schools used the field for baseball practice and
150
for their scheduled games, Notre Dame, Wells High and Cole Trade High. The Parochial Grammar School League used the field for both practice and games throughout their schedule. The Public Schools (graded) practiced and played their games here. The grade schools used the field for their football prac- tice and games.
A new softball area was used at the field throughout the summer by the Community Softball League, the Industrial Softball League and by independent teams.
A new Little League diamond was built this year to ac- commodate the expansion of the Little League. This area will prove valuable in the future because it can be converted quickly to a girls' softball area or a regular softball area for any expansion in the softball leagues.
A new pipe and wire backstop was built for the field, two bleacher type sets of seats were built and were used by specta- tors at nightly games this year. The field was left in masterful shape by our hard working, part-time caretaker, Ray Bernard, who takes pleasure in seeing to it that the field is in top shape at all times. Alumni Field is being developed gradually into a finished field and is not far away from becoming a beautiful recreational asset to the town.
Respectfully submitted, LORENZO BEAUPRE, Chairman Alumni Field Sub-Committee.
