Housekeeping Aides
This project furnishes free home assistance in housework and care of children in the homes of the needy where the mother or homemaker is totally or partially incapacitated because of ill health or confinement, or in case of some temporary emergency which makes this assistance necessary. This service is rendered only upon the recommendation of a doctor, visiting nurse, Welfare Office, Old Age Assistance, Soldiers' Relief Agent, or any charitable organization. During 1940, seventy-four families received this housekeeping service. This project employs fifteen housekeeping aides and one field worker.

During the year 1940, accidents to W. P. A. workers in Reading were comparatively fewer than in the preceding year.
Every project in Reading is equipped with a first aid kit-used to treat minor injuries suffered on the jobs.
Town Vaults Records Project
The work under this project consisted of cleaning, arranging, in- dexing, summarizing and filing books, records, reports, plans and other data relating to the administration of Town affairs. The value of this material could be determined only by an inventory, examination and indexing. Books and records restored to their proper agencies, rec- ords which were no longer useful were destroyed and useful material salvaged, cleaned, sorted and indexed. A summary and index was pre- pared of materials remaining in the vaults, as well as a summary of materials that were discarded.
123
Wire Inspector's Records Project
The object of this project was to transcribe, tabulate and index a new card file for records of the Inspector of Wires Department, for the years 1933 to 1939 ยท
The records of the Inspector of Wires Department had been kept in memorandum books and non-indexed cards with incomplete de- tails as to work done and by whom. A system was devised calling for
1. An application for a permit to perform work.
2. A permit to perform work, to be issued by the Inspector of Wires.
3. A notification card from the contractor to the Inspector of Wires, when, where and what work is to be done.
4. A numbered filing card giving name of applicant, work to be done, wiring contractor, date of inspection, and passing, and number of permit.
5. Numbered envelopes with records of work previously done at the same house address.
6. An alphabetical file index of contractors with addresses.
The numbers of the cards or envelopes for the first five operations were made identical for the same address and same job.
The project has been completed and all the data housed in proper steel filing cases and delivered to the Inspector of Wires Department.
Tracing of Old B. P. W . Plans
Under this project 302 old highway plans dated from 1840 to 1922 have been copied on linen. These plans were originally drawn on brown paper and were fast deteriorating from use.
Stone Bounds and Street Acceptances
The specific purposes to be served by this project when completed are as follows :
A composite sectional map of the town showing all accepted streets, with surface materials, sidewalks, edgestones and all superstructures ;
A card record of locations of street monuments by ties to nearest permanent points with adequate sketches;
A book and card record of all street layout descriptions as taken from Town Meeting records.
These records and plans are to be kept on file in the office of the Board of Public Works for use in future intelligent, systematic town planning of street improvements of all town departments con- cerned.
Town Meeting Records
This project now completed, compiled and indexed all town meet- ing records from 1840 to 1940. This will greatly facilitate the looking up of any action that has taken place in the past years.

Annual Report of the Reading W. P. A. Recreation Project - 1940
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
January 23, 1941. Gentlemen :
I hereby submit the annual report of the Reading W. P. A. recrea- tion project for the year 1940. Thanks to the continuing aid of the Work Projects Administration, the town has again been supplied with supervision and leaders for public recreation.
This project might well be termed a continuous project as it has been in operation since 1934. While the rudiments of the activities offered have been practically the same as in former years, certain phases of the program have been enlarged. This is especially true of the Adult Program.
Adult Program
Winter and Spring-
Many citizens of the town took advantage of the physical and creative opportunities offered by the project. Crafts included : metal, leather, wood, amberol, furniture remodeling, and cane seating. Bas- ketball, volleyball, games and gymnastics made up the physical side of the program. Dramatics supplied entertainment for many and gave the actors a change for character portrayal.
The high-light of this season was the Annual Craft Exhibition, held at the Craft Room in May. This display was visited by more than 300 adults who expressed admiration and surprise at the number of beautiful and useful articles made of pewter, copper, aluminum and leather.
Summer -
The playgrounds were used extensively by adults as well as child- ren. The Recreation Soft Ball League had 8 teams playing from May until September with a banquet and entertainment as a final event. The tennis courts on all three playgrounds were well patronized and the baseball diamond at Washington Street where the Community Base- ball League played was used by the recreation project for adult base- ball twice a week.
Fall and Winter-
In October, the Center School building was available to the recre- ation project for a Recreation Center.
Here all phases of the program, except basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics were carried on. Attendance increased greatly with more and more people realizing the value of the opportunities offered for their leisure time. In November adult art classes were added to the already extensive program.
125
Childrens' Program
Winter and Spring-
Facilities in the Senior High School gymnasum were extended by the School Department for physical activities. On Saturday morn- ings, basketball for junior boys was offered.
One of the most attractive features of the year-round program was the Game Room which is stocked with most games suitable for indoor play, ping pong being one of the most popular.
Crafts instruction in wood, raw metals, paper, sewing, amberol, and leather was given to the children daily at the Craft Room.
Summer-
The playground season opened in June and continued until school opened in September. Birch Meadow, Memorial Park, and Washing- ton Street Park were used daily in pleasant weather. One day each week was set aside as a feature day with pet shows, doll parades, field days, bicycle rodeos, and a hobby show which was also an adult special event.
Junior and Senior Baseball Leagues were organized with regular scheduled games. All-Star teams were selected for out-of-town games. Tennis teams were formed on the playgrounds and out-of-town and inter-playground matches played.
A girls' soft ball team was organized at Washington Street Park and games played with nearby towns.
Crafts were carried on in "The Barn", Memorial Park. The girls' sewing unit made 17 dozen articles for the Red Cross.
Fall and Winter-
With the closing of the playground season, touch football teams were formed with junior boys participating.
In October, a Recreation Center was opened in the former Center School. Here separate rooms for crafts, games, and other phases of recreation offered new incentives for boys and girls. A Fun Band was started and group singing was added to the program.
Annual Participation Chart
These figures may seem excessive to some, but it must be realized that the recreation project operates on a year-round basis with activi- ties carried on morning, afternoon, and evening from January through December. The age levels are divided under 20 years, and over 20 years and separated into male and female.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading, the School Committee sub- mits it's annual report :
Uncertainties in all walks of life have made it necessary for the pruning knife to be applied to the budgets of certain town departments in order that funds might be available for those departments which have been expanded or created to meet the many emergencies. The School Department belongs to that group of agencies which has had to expand in order to meet existing conditions and this was accom- plished without receiving additional funds.
Since 1931 the budget of the School Department has been prepared and approved on a basis of bare operating expense and requests for funds for the replacement of equipment have been foregone in the main; however, some purchases of badly needed equipment have been made through savings.
Conditions have been such that salary increases have been confined to the annual increments which the Committee is bound to meet.
Business depressions mean increased school enrollment, which cor- respondingly means more teachers, more equipment, more supplies ; therefore, on the present trend, an increased school budget must be faced in 1942. No provision has been made for adequate housing for our ever-increasing enrollment except in one location. The evidence in the form of new dwellings in various locations of the town, indicates the physical facilities of the department are in a very unfavorable po- sition to meet this problem. Attention of the citizens is directed to this matter; the need of more room is apparent.
Indications are that the Pearl Street School costs approximately $3,000 per annum more to operate than the combined operating cost of the Center and Union Schools. This additional operating expense has been absorbed in the general operating expense.
The department has operated within it's budget during the past year and returned $591.63 to the Town.
The terms of Irving C. Austin and Frank D. Tanner expire this year.
