REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
During the past year the members of this board have been
170
meeting and putting together records of all the Town Personnel and trying to bring our files up to date so that we can identify persons within our files.
The members have had meetings with various department supervisors and discussed with them our proposed Wage Classi- fication and Compensation Plan, designated and known as Ar- ticle MCX of the Town By-Laws.
This proposal has taken into consideration the many changes that have taken place since the original plan was adopted in March of 1954, and it is our hope that we have been able to make adequate and proper adjustments.
Much more time will be required to complete this survey and bring these records up to date. When completed, a com- plete set of these records will be given to the Board of Select- men, the Finance Committee and the Town Accountant, whose duty it will be to keep them up to date in the future.
We wish to thank all who have worked with us during this period for their co-operation and assistance.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE HENRY STREET FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE
To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee:
This Recreation and Playground area enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in its recreation history, due to the increased attendance and the additional area which was par- tially developed this season for a new Lassie League diamond.
This diamond is being added to our two others, namely, the Softball and the Litlle League diamonds, providing a six-team play area, or three games being played simultaneously.
The so-called new Softball area has been limed, fertilized and grass seeded this Fall, providing a better playing field.
We are formulating plans for the full development of the new Lassie League playing field for the 1962 season.
A portion of that area requires loaming, grading, seeding, etc., plus the erection of a backstop and seating facilities.
A new scoreboard now provides the fans and players alike, game information serving both the Little League and the Soft- ball diamonds.
A hundred-foot section of chain link fence (7 feet high)
171
has been installed next to the playground area for the safety and protection of children.
Other activities included the Italian-American Vets Field Days and firework display and the Police and Chamber of Com- merce Hallowe'en Party with rides for kiddies and fireworks.
The recreational facilities provided have produced an at- tendance far greater than the past years and we of Henry Street Recreation hope to provide more in the years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS E. BRUNELLE, Chairman ALBERT GENDRON LORENZO BEAUPRE JOHN MERRILL ARTHUR BACHAND
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 1961 season.
Attendance
More adults, especially parents with their children, used the pool's facilities during 1961 than in any previous year. The clearing of the pool bottom several years ago is undoubtedly largely responsible for this significant parent interest in the pool.
The total attendance for the season was 24,750: 6,000, June; 9,750, July; 9,000, August.
Physical Improvements:
In addition to the general cleaning up of the pool bottom and pool surroundings which must be performed every year, repairs to the bathhouse roof, the installation of a third life- guard chair, and the addition of another sprinkler to the exist- ing system, represented the major improvements during the year.
Instruction:
Formal instruction in swimming and lifesaving was pro- vided through the excellent Red Cross Program during the season. More than 500 children and some adults benefitted from the program through regular morning classes, conducted by Mr. Ronald Lafrance, a regular staff member, and Mrs. Roger Lataille.
172
Rescues:
Ten rescues were reported by the lifeguards during the season. The efficient supervision given bathers by our staff can undoubtedly be credited for preventing many of these cases from developing into fatalities.
Health Care:
Providing safe water for bathers is, of course, of para- mount importance. In order to control bacterial growth and maintain a low count, the flow of water into the pool was regulated in accordance with the bathing load. Since the in- stallation of a sprinkler system, this method is now possible and has proven to be most efficient. Water tests conducted by the engineering firm of Metcalf & Eddy, with headquarters in Boston, revealed that the pool water was of excellent quality for bathing.
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the committee and the staff for their wonderful co-operation during the 1961 swimming season.
Respectfully submitted,
EDGAR J. BOURGEOIS, Chairman Swimming Pool Committee.
REPORT OF THE WEST STREET FIELD SUB-COMMITTEE
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The 1961 season at West Street Field was a very busy one.
Little League and Babe Ruth try-outs were held on the field in the early spring.
During the baseball season, some of the games of Little League, Babe Ruth, and Minor League were played on the field. Cole Trade - Wells High and Wells High girls' softball teams used the field for some of their games.
The field was well maintained and in excellent playing condition whenever it was needed.
With the spreading, grading and rolling of loam and seed- ing, which will be done next year, West Street Field is rapidly nearing the stage of completion.
May I offer my sincere thanks to all departments of the Town who helped make this season a successful one.
Respectfully submitted, LORENZO BEAUPRE, Chairman, West Street Field Sub-Committee.
173
REPORT ON THE SPECIAL EVENTS PROGRAM
(Comprising Little League, Babe Ruth League and Minor League Baseball)
To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee:
Little League, composed of six teams involving 90 boys, started their season about May 1st and ended about the first week of July. They played a schedule of 45 games and used Dresser Street Field, West Street Field and Henry Street Field.
Babe Ruth League this year played a schedule of 18 games .. They used Dresser Street Field exclusively and played two nights a week. Babe Ruth League is now composed of 6 teams and this league involves 90 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 36 coaches and 18 managers in these leagues, plus about 20 um- pires, who handle the games. This makes 74 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, I sin- cerely thank them for their services.
Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR BACHAND, President of Special Events, Southbridge Recreation Committee.
REPORT OF THE WINTER SPORTS COMMITTEE
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Skating started at the Town Pool late this year because of the weather conditions in December. Up to this writing for the 1961-1962 skating season, we have had only four days of skat- ing, as compared to 53 days last year.
The rink is always under supervision when it is officially open. A refreshment stand, heat, television and dressing room are provided for children and adults who use the facili- ties. The ice was scraped and flooded whenever necessary to maintain as good skating ice as possible. This recreation area provides thousands of recreation man-hours per season in an enjoyable, healthful activity.
Respectfully submitted, ALEXANDER LESNIEWSKI, Chairman, Winter Sports.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Southbridge Planning Board submits the following re- port for the year ending December 31, 1961 in accordance with the General Laws.
During the year the Board met for the regular meetings 48 times and held 2 public hearings on zone changes and two pub- lic hearings on sub-divisions. The Board approved 14 prelim- inary plans for sub-divisions and approved two final sub-divi- sion plans.
The Board was represented at the Regional and Annual Meetings of the Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards in Worcester. The Board was represented at a six-week plan- ning seminar at Clark University. The Board was also repre- sented at Master Plan Committee meetings and Board of Ap- peal hearings.
The following street layouts were temporarily approved: Brookside Road, Warren Lane, High Street, Warren Street, Country Club Place, Red Oak Lane, High View Street, Marc Avenue, Girard Street, Highridge Avenue, Crestview Drive, Chartier Lane, and Jerome Street. Three sub-division plans were signed not requiring Board approval.
Zone maps and regulations on sub-division laws are avail- able at the Planning Board office in the Town Hall.
We wish to thank the citizens and all the town officials for their cooperation during the year.
