REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
Annual Report of the Department of Civil Defense
January 11, 1962
Mr. Edward C. Monahan Town Manager Arlington 74, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Monahan:
In accordance with the By-Laws of the Town, I submit herewith the twelfth annual report of the Department of Civil Defense.
In last years report the keynote was public apathy. This year I am glad to say, that we no longer have public apathy. People are vitally interested in Civil Defense but as yet do not understand it in its true meaning. From public apathy we have gone through a period of public confusion. With the new goals set by the Department of Defense, we are gradually leaving this period and I trust are entering a period of public understanding and cooperation.
Opal Alert 1961 - A state-wide test of the public attack warning system sounding the Attack Warning Signal - "Take Cover" - was made at 12 noon April 28th and continued until 12 noon April 29th. For several years, MCDA and the Cities and Towns of Massachusetts have taken part in a nation-wide "Operation Alert." One of the most serious effects of such an attack would result from the "Fallout" coming from large yield thermonuclear weapons.
This year some local communications centers, which are approved monitoring stations, of which we are one, tested their capability for measur- ing and reporting the intensities which would result from the attack conditions chosen for this years exercise. This test certainly made clear that fallout shelters are absolutely necessary. Our Control Center was opened until midnight on Friday and noon Saturday and our Radio Operators did a tre- mendous job handling our communications equipment.
After President Kennedy's Speech in July the Civil Defense Office be- came a very busy place. Many people came to the office for shelter in- formation, others picked up the booklets at the libraries where we have been placing them since 1960. The phone calls from interested citizens were many and we at the Civil Defense Office were pleased that the citizens were finally becoming interested in Civil Defense. Several thousand booklets have been distributed during the past year.
In an August meeting with the Town Manager, in which Civil Defense in Arlington was discussed, Mr. Monahan was sincerely interested in what might happen in Arlington should the effects of a thermonuclear bomb reach the Town. It was at his suggestion that the Civil Defense Director appeared before the Board of Selectmen on September 11th and again duscussed Civil Defense. All the Selectmen showed the same interest as Mr. Monahan. At the Selectmen's request the same lecture was givento the Town Employees. This was done during September and October.
On October 17th at the invitation of Dr. Bert Roens the Director ap- peared before the School Committee to discuss Civil Defense in our schools. On October 30th, as a result of this discussion all school principals attended a lecture in the Little Theatre at the High School. It was decided to continue to examine existing buildings regarding their protection factor. This work is now being done, at the Federal Government's expense, by architectural firms selected by the Army Corps of Engineers. They have to date had one meeting at the Arlington Civil Defense Office. The 87th Congress, 1st Ses- sion, appropriated the sum of ninety three million dollars for this purpose.

Auxiliary Fire Department
This year Chief Malcolm B. Griffin of the Arlington Auxiliary Fire Department felt it was necessary for him to present his resignation. He had been with the auxiliary many years and it was with sincere regret that his resignation was accepted. His devotion to the auxiliary was outstanding and he was a loyal fireman.
Arlington Auxiliary Firefighters were on duty for a total of 1701 hours, with 567 men reporting. Time used for answering still and box alarms by auxiliary firefighters was 49-1/2 hours. Inadditionto the man hours listed, many hours have been spent on paper work and attending meetings.
Communications has become a very important part of Civil Defense dur- ing the past year. Antennas were installed on the roof of the Town Hall - and communications equipment was moved from the Civil Defense Office, to a position right outside the office. In addition to handling our communica- tions equipment during Opal Alert, our radio operators assisted in the March of Dimes collection and were on duty Halloween.
137
REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
We feel that this year has been a very progressive one for Civil De- fense. Many clubs and organizations called the Civil Defense Office asking the Director to speak at one of their meetings, these requests were fulfilled whenever possible. Many meetings were held with State and Federal Offi- cials. The last week of June the Director attended a Radiological Defense Officers' Course at Eastern Instructor Training Center, Brooklyn, New York and qualified as a Radiological Defense Officer. On November 4th, Arlington was host to local directors and elected officials, Area I at the Arlington Town Hall. This meeting was arranged by State Officials, who were present, for the purpose of discussing with the local civil defense directors, with elected officials and municipal personnel the present status of Civil Defense, future plans, local problems and other matters of interest in civil defense programs.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all Civil Defense Volunteers and Town Departments who have assisted me during the past year. And to you, Mr. Monahan, and the Board of Selectmen my grateful appreciation for the trust and kindnesses you have shown me.
Respectfully submitted,
John P. Dempsey Director of Civil Defense

Total reimbursement $36,937.63 Refunds from persons who had re-
ceived aid and returned checks 2,927.36
Total receipts
$39,864.99
Net disbursement by Town for aid . $ 24,027.64
1961 will be remembered as the year in which medical aid for the aged and hopsital aid assumed huge proportions. Federal and State legislation was mainly responsible. On the other hand, the cost of hospitalization is so great nowadays that old people of ordinary means and young couples with four or five children to support just can't cope with it. They are forced to apply for aid if one of a family is hospitalized for more than a week. In any event, the Department of Veterans' Services had more calls for aid because of hospitalization in 1961, than in any two previous years. There seems to be no prospect that the calls for aid will grow less in the immediate future.
The Department of Veterans' Services for the Commonwealth, which maintains a certain supervision over this department and arranges for re- imbursements, has made up some lost ground. Whereas, one year ago the State was in arrears fifteen months in it's reimbursement, at the present time it is only ten months in arrears. The Town Treasury benefits by this speedup in repayments.
We wish to gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and help received from the Board of Selectmen, the Town Manager, the Personnel Board and their staffs and to express our appreciation of the excellent work performed by the employees of this department.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles R. Armour Director

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Annual Report of the Arlington Housing Authority 1961
Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Arlington Housing Author- ity for the year 1961.
At the Annual Town election in March 1961, Mr. Myron D. Chace was re-elected to the Authority for a term of five years.
The Authority organized for the year at its Annual Meeting held on March 14, 1961, at which time Mr. Edward J. Doherty was elected Chair- man; Mr. James A. Coffey, Vice-Chairman; Mr. Myron D. Chace, Trea- surer; and Mr. Joseph S. Vahey, Assistant Treasurer.
On July 27, 1961 Mr. Thomas M. Kelly was appointed to the Authority by the State Housing Board, replacing Mr. John P. Kedian, who had served the Authority for a period of ten years.
The Authority filed, for consideration at the Annual Town Meeting, an Article to institute Urban Renewal work within the Town. As a result of this Article, a committee was appointed to study the problem and to report to the Annual Town Meeting of March 1962.
Throughout the year the Authority met regularly on Monday evenings and also at many special meetings to consider the many problems of manage- ment of the 176 Veteran's apartments and 72 apartments for Elderly Persons. In April of 1961, occupancy of these 72 Elderly apartments was completed. The Authority feels that the erection of these apartments for Elderly Per- sons has been one of the most gratifying experiences in its history.
A voluntary payment of $6336 was made to the Town by the Housing Authority in 1961, which payment is the largest permitted by law.
The Authority wishes to express its appreciation to all officials, Boards, and Town departments for their cooperation throughout the year.
