REPORT OF THE DUTCH ELM DISEASE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my report for the Dutch Elm Disease Department for the year ending December 31, 1960.


Twenty dead elm trees were cut down and removed. Dead- wood out of elm trees on Town-Owned property were removed. I sprayed Town-Owned elm trees twice with a hydraulic


155


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 of elms 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 defolia- tion weakens the trees, and many valuable elms have been killed as a result of outbreaks of this insect.


Dutch elm disease is probably the most serious shade tree problem facing our community today. The situation is, how- ever, far from being hopeless. Using proper methods can do much to maintain a large percentage of our elms for many years to come.

The past year I sprayed with a hydraulic sprayer, using Malathion and DDT, as many of our town-owned trees, and wooded areas as possible. Infestation in sprayed areas has been kept down with good results.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:


The following is our annual report on Recreation in the Town of Southbridge. It is submitted as five reports in the in- terest of clarity.


Respectfully submitted, FRANK P. SKINYON General Chairman ARTHUR A. ROY Co-chairman


REPORT OF THE SWIMMING POOL SUB COMMITTEE To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee: Dear Sir:


At your request, I am submitting the annual report of the swimming pool supervisor for the 1960 season. Personnel


Increased protection of our bathers was provided by the addition of another lifeguard to our staff during the 1960 sea- son. Following are the names of the people who made up our staff: Jeannine Tetreault, Carol Soldani, Eugene Remian, Ron- ald LaFrance, Paul Cournoyer, Andre Lamarre and Edward Desroches, director. These people certainly deserve a great deal of praise for their outstanding work during the season. Attendance


The pool opened on June 25 and closed on September 2. The total attendance for this period was 17,725: 3000 June; 7,500 ·July; 6,925 August; and 300 September.


157


Physical Improvements


Two major improvements were made during the 1960 sea- son. One included the addition of a second lifeguard chair placed in the newly developed beach area. With this installa- tion, supervision of that area was greatly facilitated.


A system of six sprinklers, also installed during the swim- ming season, provided the second major improvement. This system proved to be quite effective in providing more uniform water circulation over the entire surface of the pool.


Instruction


The Red Cross Swimming Program, under the direction of Mr. Ronald LaFrance and Miss Marcia Pioppi, offered over 500 children the opportunity for instruction in swimming and life-saving during regular morning classes at the pool.


Rescues


Eight rescues were reported by the lifeguards during the season. Many of these cases could have become fatal had it not been for the efficient supervision of the lifeguard staff.


Health Care


In order to provide safe water for bathers, two methods of control over bacterial growth were used: regulated flow of water in accordance with the bathing load and periodic chlori- nation.


In conclusion, I wish to take this opportunity to repeat my thanks to the committee and staff for their wonderful co-opera- tion during the 1960 swimming season.


Respectfully submitted:


EDGAR J. BOURGEOIS, Chairman Swimming Pool Committee


REPORT OF HENRY ST. FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE


To the Chairman of Recreation Committee:


Games and recreation facilities available are as follow: three horseshoe courts, two jungle gyms of different types, two volleyball courts, twelve swings, three zelball and one teterball games, one slide, 1 basketball court, six see-saws, playground balls and four ping -pong tables.


Approximately one hundred forty softball games were played, at night, Saturdays and Sundays composed of eight teams in the Community League and various independent teams representing about 160 players who availed themselves of the two softball diamonds. The attendance at games varied between 100 to 300 spectators.


The Elementary Schools and School Playgrounds used the diamonds for baseball and softball during the Spring and Summer season.


Numerous sandlot baseball, softball and football games


158


were played also.


Little League and Minor League boys played some of their games on one diamond three nights a week.


Lassie League procured the diamond one night a week with playoffs on Saturdays and Sundays including Regional play- offs.


The seating capacity was increased by adding two new bleachers.


The airport loam was spread, raked, graded, seeded with rye, rolled and made playable a the season's start.


We formulate plans to harrow, rake, lime, fertilize and seed this area in the Fall of 1961.


The Sewage line was completed to the Field House, cement floor, sidewalk, wall separations, complete toilet facili- ties which includes toilet partitions, three toilets, 1 urinal, 2 lavatories, paper and soap dispensers with an assortment of toilet needs.


We are pleased to announce that the area was extensively used and in orderly condition all through the summer.

WINTER SPORTS


Dear Mr. Chairman:


Skating started at the Town Pool about a week before Christmas this year and up until this writing there have been 43 days of skating. The rink is always under supervision when it is officially open. A refreshment stand, heat, television and dressing room are enjoyed by the children and adults who use the facilities.


The ice was kept in excellent condition throughout the skating season. Because of limited skating in other areas of the town the community pool entertained extra large numbers this year.


A source of joy to the Winter Sports Committee is that more and more adults are using the skating facilities.


Respectfully submitted, ALEXANDER LESNIEWSKI Chairman-Winter Sports


RECREATION


Report on Special Events Program Comprising Little League, Babe Ruth League and Minor League Baseball


Little League composed of six teams involving 90 boys


159


started their season about May 1st and ended the first week of July. They played a schedule of 45 games, two games a week and used Dresser Street field, West Street field and Henry Street field


Babe Ruth League because of a late start this year played a schedule of 12 games. They played two nights a week and used Dresser Street field exclusively. Babe Ruth League is now composed of four teams with an expansion of the league planned. This league involves 60 boys.


Minor League made up of six teams involving 90 boys played a schedule of 10 games one night a week and used Dresser Street field, West Street field and Henry Street field.


Each team in these three leagues has one manager and two coaches to take good care of the boys. This means there are 30 coaches and 15 managers in these leagues plus 20 um- pires who handle the games. This makes 65 men who handle the affairs of these leagues! No one involved in these leagues receives pay of any kind.


It is through the services of these loyal men that the leagues are able to operate at all, so, may I sincerely thank them for their services.


ARTHUR BACHAND President of Special Events Southbridge Recreation Committee


REPORT OF ALUMNI FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE


Dear Mr. Chairman:


The 1960 season at Alumni Field was a very busy one. We had Little League try-outs and Babe Ruth try-outs in the early spring. As the season went on these two leagues played their scheduled games here at the field.


Cole Trade, Wells High School and the Wells Girl's Soft- ball team and also the Elementary schools used Alumni Field to play some of their games on.


The field was also used for the Halloween Party.


A new fence was put around the Little League Area and we also added 100 ft. of Cyclone fence in the outfield of the baseball diamond.


May I offer my sincere thanks to all town departments who helped to make this season a successful one.


Respectfully submitted, LORENZO BEAUPRE Chairman of Almuni Sub-Committee

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW


Southbridge, Mass. January 25, 1961


The Honorable Board of Selectmen Southbridge, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The present Board of Review members were not appointed until late in 1960.


Hector Brodeur


Qualified April 11, 1960


John E. Merrill


Qualified October 25, 1960


Frank O. Robson


Qualified October 25, 1960


The Board met and organized on October 31, 1960 and has met regularly since that date, devoting most of its time in developing a schedule of changes in wage scales and pays since the adoption of the "Griffenhagen Report" on The Classi- fication and Compensation of Positions at the Annual Town Meeting in March of 1954.


This has been and still is a time consuming and confusing task, examining the Annual Reports of the Finance Commit- tee for each year since 1954, also records of Special Town Meet- ings, for information which did not appear to be available in comprehensive form.


The Board has developed a Pay History Card to be com- pleted by every Town employee, giving name, department, classification, date of birth, original date of employment, to- gether with annual information from 1953 and each year thereafter on hourly rate or yearly salary, overtime or bonus, Total Pay Range (min. and max.), increase recommended, and Personnel Remarks, to cover changes in Department and/or Classification. When completed and if continued these Pay History Cards should prove of inestimable value to the Board of Review in the future and the Finance Committee. These records are incomplete at the moment but the study is con- tinuing.


It is too early for the Board of Review to make any con- crete recommendation regarding the present classes and wage scales.


The Board has met with several department heads and some individual employees, discussing with them their per- sonnel problems.


It has found the Board of Selectmen and various depart- ment heads most cooperative and extends its sincere thanks to all for their courteous and cooperative assistance.
