Olde Redding Chapter, D.A.R. had a white oak tree set out in the Old Parish Burial Ground in Laurel Hill Cemetery, and had a suitably inscribed boulder placed adjacent to it, to commemorate our Revolu- tionary War Veterans.
At Forest Glen an unloading ramp was constructed, and the dwell- ing house located on the premises was painted on the outside.
The wooden section of the Service Building at Laurel Hill was ren- ovated by shingling the side wall and installing new window frames and sash.
At this time appreciation is expressed to the other Departments of the Town for their cooperation.
The financial statement will appear in the report of the Town Accountant.

DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES
January 18, 1952
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Reading, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I respectfully submit my annual report as Director of Veterans' Services.
The demand for these services continue to grow; as a local adjunct to the State Department of Veterans' Services, we are able to keep in touch with all new benefits and requirements.
We find this is a decidedly worth while department of the town, for the expenses involved.
CHARLES W. H. SMITH,
Director
AGENT FOR VETERANS' BENEFITS
January 18, 1952
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Reading, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
As your Agent for Veterans' Benefits, I respectfully submit my annual report.
We had a case load of forty-eight during the year, but an overall picture shows our expenditures about normal.
Employment conditions have been good during the past year and this has lightened our temporary cases.
Medical expenses and fuel costs have increased, but withall, our expenditures have been less than the previous year.
CHARLES W. H. SMITH,
Agent
REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Reading, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Moth Superintendent for 1951.
The yearly check on gypsy moth egg clusters showed three infested areas. These areas have been sprayed with D.D.T .. and two of them appeared to be cleared up. The third area in the northern section of the town requires more work.
The spraying on private property for 1951 showed a small increase over 1950.
The Dutch Elm Disease increased in the past year. Several hun- dred cuttings were made from elm trees, forty-eight of these cuttings were sent to the Shade Tree Laboratory at Amherst to be cultured.
148
Thirty were certified as having Dutch Elm disease. These trees have been cut down and burned. Only three of these trees were on the road- side.
The Elm Bark Beetle, the carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease can be controlled with a twelve per cent solution of D.D.T. This solution should be applied as a dormant spray, by helicopter or mist blower. The best coverage is obtained with the helicopter. Four hundred and thirty elms were sprayed by helicopter with this solution in 1951. Only one of this group of elms contracted the Dutch Elm disease.
I recommend that all the elms trees on the roadside be sprayed by this method in 1952.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen, the men of this department and all others who have assisted me in the past year.
Respectfully yours,
MAURICE H. DONEGAN, Moth Superintendent
