ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Report of the Board of Selectmen
To the Citizens of Arlington:
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Board of Selectmen for the year ending December 31, 1950.
A study of this report for previous years indicates that 1950 did not deviate materially in its activities as far as the Selectmen are con- cerned. There were the usual fifty-two Monday meetings, several other afternoon and evening meetings, Finance Committee, Department Heads and Joint Board meetings (detailed in the Joint Board report), appointments, resignations, occasional brickbats and once or twice a bouquet and innumerable discussions of matters that invariably arise in a community of over 45,000 heterogeneous inhabitants. The results of such discussions do not lend themselves to detailed report because many pertain to only small groups of people or separate sections of the Town and others were concerned with the policy which manifests itself gradually and over a period of years. It is our hope and belief, however, that the Board's discussions were sound and will make Arlington a bet- ter town in which to live.
After six years of faithful and intelligent service to the Town, as a member of the Board of Selectmen, Joseph Peterson chose not to run again. The Annual Town Election was held March 6, 1950, and Edmund L. Frost was elected to this Board for a term of three years. Joseph A. Purcell was made Chairman of the new Board at its first organizational meeting.
Other matters worthy of note are outlined as follows:
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Appointment by Chief Tierney of twenty-six Privates because of the forty-eight hour week, which was approved in a referendum in 1948.
Retirement of Private Horace G. Aiken.
Installation of additional telephone service to headquarters.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Retirement of Sergeant William L. Olson and Private Arthur E. Clare. Appointment of Philip Sweeney as Sergeant.
Reclassification of ranking officers.
Increase in rates for paying details.
At a Special Town Meeting in October, the Town Meeting Members voted in favor of a forty hour week for the police force, as a result this Board established this change in hours effective December 1, 1950. This brought about the appointment of ten new patrolmen and the creation of a new Lieutenancy and Sergeancy. Sergeant Charles O. Toomey and Patrolman Maurice J. Scannell were appointed to these positions, re- spectively.
PERAMBULATION
During the year, as required by law, the boundary lines of Belmont, Cambridge, Lexington and Winchester were perambulated by our Ex- ecutive Secretary, Frank K. Nicksay, accompanied by representatives of the above named municipalities.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
PATRIOTS' DAY CELEBRATION
The committee appointed in 1949 to handle details of the 175th An- niversary of Patriots' Day did an outstanding piece of work. Details of several days memorable events are recorded elsewhere under a separate report.
WAR
War clouds brought forth new activities. The October Special Town Meeting accepted the Civil Defense act as an addition to the Town's By-laws. In August we appointed Daniel J. Mc Fadden as Director of Civil Defense. Several meetings were held with Mr. Mc Fadden per- taining to procedure, procurement, personnel and policy.
Names were submitted to the Federal Government for the re-creation of a new Draft Board. Many of the Town's young men have already been called to serve and at each of the farewell gatherings one member of this Board was in attendance representing the townspeople.
The following items fit in no particular category and to a large ex- tent are self-explanatory.
Signing of street construction bonds-$275,000. awarded to Banker's Trust Company of New York.
Acceptance for the Town of the Bishop School and the additions to the Hardy School and Junior High School West.
Meetings with the Planning Board relative to Arlington Center Traf- fic plan, zoning policies, business developments, etc. It is our feeling that occasional joint gatherings will benefit both Boards and in the long run the Town. We appreciate the cooperation of the Planning Board in our mutual discussions.
Painting of Town's seal and department designation on all town- owned cars and equipment. We thank the Board's, not under our juris- diction, for following this policy and the Board of Public Works for doing the painting involved.
Transfer of Town Accountant's quarters to the Board of Health Of- fice and vice-versa, thereby providing much needed additional space for the Accounting personnel. Our appreciation to the Board of Health for expediting this change.
Our work with departments other than those previously mentioned is included in the reports of the various department heads. For infor- mation these departments are as follows; Fire and Police Signal System, Inspector of Buildings, Boards of Appeals, Wire Department, Sealer of Weights and Measures, Veterans' Services Department, Honor Roll Committee, Public Welfare Department, Inspector of Animals, Town Physician, Dog Officer, Moth Suppression, Town House Grounds, Reg- istrars of Voters, Town Accountant, Elections and Town Meetings, Pub- lic Buildings, Pensions and Parking Meters.
We express our thanks for the efficient cooperation to our Secretary Frank K. Nicksay, to his assistants Miss Catherine Harrigan and Mrs. Evelyn Ronbeck, to the personnel of the various departments and to the members of the many committees with whom we have worked during 1950.

Between twenty-five and thirty thousand people swarmed to Spy Pond Field Wednesday Evening to witness a spectacular and splendid pyrotechnical display. As one man was overheard to say: "By Golly if you're going to do it, do it right-like this!" The Band Concert by the Arlington Academy of Music under Dean Ward was varied and interesting. Side streets were jammed with parked cars for almost a mile from the field in all directions. At the end of the fireworks finale the final bomb shook the ground and reverberated over Menotomy's hills.
The Essay Contest, "the Significance of Patriot's Day in the Build- ing of America" winners were named after the Band Concert at Spy Pond Field. Prizes were presented by representatives of the Auxiliaries of the Marine Corps League, American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mrs. Kenneth Troy, Mrs. Lawrence Keily and Mrs. Ursulle Gallerani, who donated the prizes.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
Annual Report of the Department of Civil Defense
To the Citizens of Arlington:
In compliance with Section 3 of Chapter 3 of the By-Laws of the Town, I herewith submit the first annual report of the newly created department of Civil Defense.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 13, Chapter 639 of the Acts of 1950, General Laws of Massachusetts, the Board of Selectmen appointed the undersigned as Director of Civil Defense on August 7, 1950. At the adjourned Special Town Meeting held October 4, 1950, under Article 3 of the Warrant, a department of Civil Defense was established and a By-Law pertaining to the operation of this department was adopted. This action was later aproved by the Attorney General on October 25, 1950.
Civil Defense has been defined as the organization of the people to minimize the effects of enemy action or of any disaster from fire, earth- quake or other natural causes. We are principally concerned at this time in the development of a plan which will prepare us to handle any emergency caused by enemy action. It encompasses the entire field of passive defense-as distinguished from active defense which is the function of the Armed Forces- in saving lives and restoring our com- munity.
Our master plan of defense activity has been approved by the Direc- tor of Civil Defense, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We have geographically divided our community into eight districts, each of which can operate independently in the case of minor emergencies. The scope of our plan covers the following services: Fire, Police, Medical & Health, Communications, Welfare, Evacuation, Transportation, Atomic and other Special Defense, Public Utilities, Public Works, Supply, Per- sonnel, Plans and Training, Public Information and Control Centers. Deputy Directors have been appointed to develop each of these phases and are now preparing an estimate of personnel, equipment and supplies necessary to operate under disaster conditions.
Muncipal department heads, their employees and equipment provide us with a strong nucleus for defense activities. Departments such as our Fire, Police, Public Works and Welfare, handle daily what may be cal- led minor emergencies. Our defense activities must be designed however to handle a great number of these emergencies at the same time so it will be necessary to expand our present municipal facilities and personnel by the use of auxiliary volunteer forces and privately owned facilities and equipment.
The cost of Civil Defense cannot be accurately estimated at this time. We feel certain that both the State and Federal Govrnments will assist us at least financially, but even with this assistance, addi- itional expense to the Town must be anticipated. We are charged with the development of an effective defense program which cannot be ac- complished without the purchase of equipment and supplies over and above what is presently available from both municipal and private sources.
We are not ready now for an emergency, but our plans are so devel- oped that we feel rapid strides can be made in 1951 towards accomplish- ing our goal. We are completely dependent, however, upon the volun- teer services of our towns-people and we feel confident that, realizing
234
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
the importance of self-preparedness, we will receive excellent support from our citizens.
The support and cooperation given to our defense activities by municipal boards and their employees, organizations and individuals in the past four months has been most gratifying. To them I extend my grateful appreciation and trust that with the continued support of this fine nucleus, we shall rapidly expand our volunteer organizations.
Respectfully submitted, Daniel J. McFadden Director of Civil Defense
