SPECIAL DRAINAGE COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Reading, the Special Drainage Committee for the Lake Quannapowitt Drainage Area submits its fifth annual report :
The Committee held two general meetings during the year, and sub committees held several meetings and conferences with State officials in relation to problems involving the drain construction.
Report of progress in actual construction of the ditch system dur- ing 1944 is as follows: The lateral ditch Easterly of John Street, and ditches Westerly of Ash Street and Northerly of Brook Street were excavated with the Bay City shovel rigged with clam shell bucket, com- pleting the roughing-out of all drain ditches in the accepted layout. No fine grading has been done on any of the ditches, although some of the ditches were gone over a second time with the shovel rig to remove shoals, trim banks, etc. Hand labor for this work was supplied by the Board of Public Works, who assigned a small crew of men for a short time period to cut off hummocks in ditch locations, make new wooden support mats for the shovel rig to travel on, cut trees and brush on the ditch locus, etc. At Vernon Street, Wakefield, a section of the ditch was ripped-rapped with stone to prevent erosion of the ditch bank up- stream of the Vernon Street culvert.
At the Salem Street culvert, a cement floor and low wall was in- stalled by a private contractor employed by the State under contract. The State also caused to be made an additional taking of a five-foot strip of land on the Northerly side of the ditch easement from Salem Street, Westerly. This taking was found necessary to accommodate a roadway for maintenance purposes on the Northerly side of the ditch.
The drain ditch system has functioned efficiently in its entirety, al- though shoals and high places remain in the rough-excavated ditches and should be fine graded to permit proper drainage when dry weather causes slight run-off of water. During the peak of 1944 rainfall months of September and November, and especially after the 3.71 inch rainfall of September 14, observations were taken at various points along the ditch, which was found to be handling the peak run-off efficiently.
The area affected by the drain system continues to be benefited to the fullest expectation of the engineers who designed the system. Ground water levels have dropped to well below cellar floors, resulting in dry cellars which formerly were flooded during every wet period. The swamps at the head of Lake Quannapowitt, off John Street, and off Eaton Street and Salem Street have also been drained to a considerable extent.
237
During the summer months, the ditch system was inspected and studied by United States Army engineers and officials of the State D'e- partment of Public Health, who were interested in its value as a public health measure for swamp drainage and mosquito control. All inspect- ing officials spoke favorably of the drainage system.
It is proposed by the Drainage Committee that completion of the entire drain system can be done by some type of Post War work project. Remaining to be done, in addition to fine grading and finishing off the excavated ditches, are the proposed dike along the Reading-Wakefield Town Line from John Street to Ash Street, plank sheathing and/or stone rip-rap in sections of the ditches, installing guard rails, and build- ing a gravel roadway the entire length of the ditch for maintenance pur- pcses. Much of this work can be done with but a small cost for ma- terials, labor being the main item.
Much thought has been given the future financing of the project, and a full financial report was submitted to the citizens of Reading at the March 1944 annual Town Meeting. The Committee believes the completion of the project must be postponed for the present, but is con- vinced that some form of Post War Planning should be instituted for its ultimate completion.
In closing this report, the Committee wishes to express its apprecia- tion of the cooperation received through the year from the State De- partment of Public Works, the Reading Board of Public Works, and the other Boards and officials with whom it has conferred.

READING RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT FOR SUMMER PLAYGROUNDS - 1944
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading, the Reading Recreation Committee herewith respectfully submits its second annual report :
The Committee as a whole held eleven general meetings during the year, and sub-committees held various other sessions as occasions re- quired. Individual members also spent much time on recreational and juvenile problems.
Mr. Gilbert M. Lothrop, Chairman of the Committee, joined the armed forces of the United States early in the year and submitted his resignation, which was accepted with regrets. Mr. Lothrop had given freely of his time and efforts on the Committee. Mr. Harold W. Putnam of the Board of Public Works was elected a member of the Recreation Committee in place of Mr. Lothrop. Later in the year, Mrs. Edith Hol- comb resigned from the Committee because of a change of residence to another State. Mrs. Holcomb had worked unceasingly on the Committee from its inception. Mr. Herbert K. Miller was unanimously elected Chairman of the Committee.
Mr. Grant Longley, Director of Physical Education at Dean Acad- emy, Franklin, Mass., was again chosen as Director for Summer Play- grounds, and was supplied with a staff of competent assistants, many of whom had served in a similar capacity in 1943. All of these assistants were carefully chosen by the Committee, and many of them were special- ists in one or more particular sports, arts and handicrafts.
Prior to the start of the summer recreational program, question- naires were prepared by the Committee and distributed at the Junior and Senior High Schools to determine the dominant interest of the stu- dents, followed by a Round Table discussion at each school so that in- terested students might express their ideas and viewpoints as to the type of program that they would most 'enjoy and actively participate in. These Round Table discussions were guided and supervised by school person- nel. One of the immediate results of the Round Table was the election of fifteen boys and girls by the student body to form a Youth Council. This Council's main work was with the "teen-agers" and a Youth Can- teen.
Four days prior to the official opening of the Playgrounds, a meet- ing of the playground staff was held. Instruction in playground admin- istration was given by Director Longley, and play-leaders and assistants assigned to the three playgrounds and three schools chosen as locations for the summer recreation program.
239
The summer playground program was carried on during the months of July and August, and attendance averaged higher daily than the previous year. The program was similar to that of 1943, but on a larger scale; improved; and more smoothly operated, after the first year of experience. A larger and more experienced playground staff aided greatly in the success of the 1944 program.
An employment bureau was again operated at the playgrounds. An investigation disclosed that several young persons who found employ- ment through this bureau in 1943 were still continuing with the same employer, with all parties to the contract well pleased with the employ- ment bureau. Publicity was given the bureau in the Reading Chronicle from time to time during the season. Thirty-seven children registered as desiring positions, and fourteen employers offered fifteen positions, twelve of which were satisfactorily filled.
Continuing the precedent established in 1943, each boy and girl on the playgrounds that used handicraft materials was charged the cost price of the material used. The children purchased Defense Stamps from the Play Leaders to pay for the article purchased-then the chil- dren retained the stamps. Many children took advantage of this novel idea, with the result that the handicraft classes were large and well at- tended. The Craft Leader in charge of all handicraft work was most ingenious with the many ideas she gave the children to work out. Many times they used scrap material brought from home, or salvaged by the Craft Leader from her own rag bag. It was noted that quite a number of children on our playgrounds could not afford to even save money through the purchase of Defense Stamps. These children, (left to the discretion of the Craft Leader and local play leader) were not required to purchase Defense Stamps to obtain handicraft materials. Defense stamp sales, from all playgrounds, totaled $164.85.
The Ragweed Contest sponsored annually by the Reading Woman's Club, was again held. Teams were organized early in the year at each playground, each team bettered their 1943 total collection. Memorial Playground once again was the winner with 3350 pounds of ragweed. This was 1100 pounds more than in 1943.
Once more Washington Street Playground proved to be the base- ball center of Reading as the winning team of all three leagues came from this playground. Baseball is the one main interest of the boys from that section, while a team could not even be organized at Memorial Park.
The tennis tournament in 1944 was not anymore successful than in 1943. It was most difficult to get the men players to play their opponents. Apparently the tennis playing men of Reading are more of the recrea- tional tennis playing type than the competitive type.
240
At the request of the children, a Beginner's Swimming Class was instructed at Birch Meadow wading pool. Sixty children enrolled and appeared the first week of the course and were very enthusiastic. How- ever, due to vacations, sickness, and inability to grasp confidence in the water in such a short time as the three-weeks course permitted, only the leading sixteen in the class were given final examinations. Of these, twelve successfully passed and received the American Red Cross Begin- ner's Certificate. This course was very popular and successful, and should be extended and repeated in 1945.
A strong "teen-age" program seemed to be the best solution in realizing some of the aims and objectives of the Recreation Com- mittee. Starting with the Youth Council selected by high school under- graduates, summer dances were organized and held. The Senior High School gym was used as a "Youth Canteen" each week-day evening ex- cept Wednesday, when the dances were held. A juke box was secured, some second-hand furniture borrowed, as well as two ping-pong tables. and several quiet games. Once the Canteen got underway, the average attendance was between forty and fifty members per night. A small membership fee of $.50 was charged for the season. Some difficulty was encountered in obtaining adults to volunteer as mentors at the Canteen.
In November, the Reading Chapter of Royal Arcanum volunteered to assume responsibility for operation of the Youth Canteen, subject to the approval and assistance of the Recreation Committee. A group from Royal Arcanum visited nearby canteens to observe their operation, and developed an improved program for Reading. Reading Post 62 American Legion offered the use of Legion Hall to the Youth Canteen on Friday and Saturday evenings, and a well attended and supervised Youth Canteen has resulted. The Committee wishes to publicly acknowledge the excellent work of Royal Arcanum in respect to the Youth Canteen program as developed and supervised by them.
In conclusion of this report, the Recreation Committee is thoroughly convinced that the recreation program as carried on for the past two years has been well worth the monetary cost and sincerely recommends the program be continued in 1945.
The Committee also wishes to extend its thanks and apreciation to all who have in any way assisted them in their efforts to conduct a Rec- reational and Educational program. The Committee particularly wishes to acknowledge the active cooperation extended to them by the Board of Public Works, the School Committee, Library Trustees, Selectmen, the Churches, the Reading Rotary International and the Reading Woman's Club.
