Officials of the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety, as well as representatives from other cities and towns in Region 5, attended the performance and were enthusiastic in their commendations.
Interesting exhibits were set up in the corridors of the Town Hall by members of the Police and Fire Depart- ments, as well as the Medical Unit of the Committee on Public Safety.
It is worth mentioning that booths and other equipment used on the stage during the demonstration are now ready for use in the Alternate Report Center.
George Greim, Report Center Supervisor, was in charge of the demonstration.
Arlington has been most fortunate in the receipt of considerable equipment from the Office of Civilian Defense. Specific reference to type and quantity of the various items is prohibited under rulings of the Office of Censorship, but
252
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
we are allowed to state that generous allotments of first aid and medical supplies, fire fighting apparatus of var- ious kinds, and other protection equipment have been issued to us.
We are permitted to say that the most recent assign- ment was that of a four-stretcher ambulance body. Through the generosity of Mr. George A. Smith, who donated a new 1942 Ford truck chassis in memory of his father, the ambulance body was mounted and presented to the Town in simple but impressive ceremonies on Novem- ber 6th. Thus Arlington became the first community in eastern Massachusetts to have an OCD ambulance ready for operation in any emergency.
Through the courtesy and interest of the women of the Allied War Relief we have been given some twenty- six pairs of heavy duty crocheted mittens for use by mem- bers of the Rescue squad. These will be much appreciated if and when the occasion for their use arises.
The efficiency of our Report Center has been greatly improved by the installation of a large map of the Town which was the work of Joseph Peterson, Testing Officer and Deputy Chief Air Raid Warden. Similar maps on a smaller scale have been placed in each of the five District Bases, where they are valuable in plotting incidents which may occur in the individual districts.
As mentioned above, the War Services Division of Public Safety, with Mrs. Russell Hamlet as chairman, spon- sors a program concerned with the ever changing picture of family and community life as affected by war conditions.
An important contribution of War Services has been the establishment of a "Registration and Information Cen- ter" in the basement of the Old Town Hall. This office is manned by a volunteer staff of ten women one of whom is always on duty between the hours of 1:30 and 5:00 P. M., Mondays through Fridays. As the name implies, the "Center" is prepared to furnish answers to questions of
253
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY
every type. If the answer is not immediately known, the staff guarantees to find it and pass on the information to the questioner. Naturally most of these inquiries per- tain to the war effort-victory gardens, canning, nutrition and salvage of all kinds. (It is self evident that the ac- tivities of War Services and the work of the local salvage committee are closely allied.
A fund of varied information is available at the "Center" in files of bulletins and pamphlets, lists of all local organizations and some Boston bureaus, details of Red Cross and Public Safety activities, as well as a list of volunteers who stand ready to respond on short notice in an emergency. These willing workers have already helped in getting out books and coupons for the Rationing Board and in other volunteer tasks.
The Block or Neighborhood Plan, under the leader- ship of Mrs. Francis Chamberlain, provides a means of getting pertinent information to all families in the com- munity in a short time. Over 500 women are cooperating in the Plan, and it is hoped that many more will offer their services to Mrs. Chamberlain.
Last spring, when rationing was imminent, War Ser- vices conducted lectures and demonstrations on "Meeting the Meat Problem" in three sections of the town, and during the first week of rationing many nutritionists acted as consultants in local stores, advising buyers on how to spend their ration points most wisely.
The Victory Garden project, with Mrs. Leroy Shaw as chairman, brought most gratifying results. Activities be- gan early in the spring with a Victory Garden Rally at the Junior High East, where Prof. Paul Dempsey addressed a large and enthusiastic gathering of "old-timers" and in- experienced gardeners, providing much varied and helpful information. Shortly thereafter a survey was made of the town's available tractable land, and records show that there were 225 individual requests for garden plots. Fol- lowing the national Victory Garden Plan, Mrs. Shaw and
254
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
her committee visited all of these gardens during the sum- mer and early fall to determine how much food had been raised, how much preserved for winter use, and, finally, to inspect all plots to see that they had been left in good order, according to agreement. So satisfactory were the results from this program that many requests have already been received for the use of space for 1944 victory gardens.
In the interest of food conservation a canning project was organized with the cooperation of the Red Cross Nutrition chairman. Two refresher classes were held in May for those women who wanted to "brush up" on latest methods of canning and food preservation. Later, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Arthur Herrick, two canning centers were established at the High School and Gas Office. Here, with the competent supervision of Mrs. Roth, Red Cross Nutritionist, and Mrs. Hazel Cheever, Home Demon- stration Agent of the Gas Company, 164 persons canned 7554 pints of fruits and vegetables. Over 4500 jars were put up at home by those who had learned correct methods at the canning centers.
Members of the Information Center staff take genuine satisfaction in their latest undertaking, "Home Hospital- ity". Working in close cooperation with the Boston USO, they are providing for the entertainment of service men and women in Arlington homes. Already many families have brought pleasure to others and real satisfaction to them- selves in this program to "bring home to those away from home", and additional names will be most welcome at any time.
Mrs. Hamlet closes her report with the following statement. "We are continually building up the informa- tion in our files at the 'Center' in order that we may better serve the town now in time of war, and later during a post war adjustment. We earnestly hope that more and more of the townspeople will make real use of Arl. 3220."
Mr. Joseph Bevins, chairman of the Salvage Committee, reports that 265,000 pounds of tin and 250 tons of waste
255
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY
paper have been collected in various salvage drives during the year, while the monthly turn in of waste fats has aver- aged approximately 6500 pounds. With regard to the fat collection it is gratifying to note that Arlington house- wives have collected ninety-nine percent of the quota set for the Town.
Certificates of appreciation have recently been issued by the Town to everyone who has given volunteer service connected with our Civilian Defense activities. These certificates bear the signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and the Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety.
In closing I should like to express my appreciation for the intelligent cooperation of all those who have given their services in the interest of Public Safety, and for their willing response to the various practice air raid alerts during the year. I recognize and pay tribute to the out- standing leadership of the unit heads who have in every way demonstrated their ability to carry the responsibilities placed upon them. I particularly wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their moral and active support and to express my gratitude for the continuing assistance and never failing cooperation of Mr. Golden, Secretary to the Board of Selectmen. Without this concerted effort we could not possibly have reached the high point of efficiency which has won the recognition and commendation of State and Regional officials.
Respectfully submitted,
.
HOLLIS M. GOTT,
Chairman.
