In Boys' and Girls' 4-H Club Work, the clubs again fulfilled a happy and successful year with Miss Henrietta Swain as Town Chair- man. Out of her rich experience gained as a teacher and 4-H Club leader, Miss Swain continues to guide and inspire 4-H leaders and members. Those serving on the committee were: Mrs. J. Dudley Blake, Miss Catherine Esler, Charles Perry and local leaders.
There were forty-six girls and sixteen boys enrolled in eight clubs: two clothing, three food, two booklover's and one garden. Local leaders were: Mrs. Frank Haynes, booklover's (2 clubs); Clothing and gar- den, Mrs. Alden Eames, assisted by Mrs. Guy York and Mrs. Ruth Bond; clothing, Mrs. Vinal Lewis, assisted by Mrs. Roy Bousfield;

food, Mrs. Frank Hadley; food, Mrs. Warren Hallett, assisted by Mrs. Edith Stevens; boys' food, Mrs. Otto Bischoff, assisted by Mrs. LeRoy Bedell.
A study of the summary of records kept by club members and reported by local leaders showed that in Wilmington alone 4-H club girls washed dishes 780 times; made beds 430 times; cooked 320 meals. No wonder parents are pleased with the 4-H Club program, which en- courages young people to help at home.
Committeemen, leaders and club members combined to make 4-H Exhibition Night a highlight in the year's activities.
Ten girls attended the County 4-H Camp, held in Amherst. Patsy Reagan had the honor of being chosen Camp Spirit. This award en- titles Patsy to return to Camp with all expenses paid next year.
Mrs. Talbot Livingston and Mrs. John Reagan spent a week at the local leaders' camp on the campus at the Massachusetts State College during Farm and Home Week in July.

REPORT OF W. P. A. SPONSOR'S AGENT
To the Honorable Board .of Selectmen.
Wilmington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my third annual report as Sponsor's Agent for W. P. A.
Veteran's Grave Registration
Each town and city in the State was requested to operate a project of this type. It was sponsored by the State and supervised by Mr. H. O. Newcomb, Superintendent of Wildwood Cemetery.
The purpose of the project being to prepare records of the graves in Wildwood Cemetery of deceased honorably discharged veterans of the Army, Navy. and other military establishments. The completed record shows the name of the veteran, service connection, place, date and cause of death, and place (cemetery lot) and date of burial.
Considerable research was necessary before complete records could be made. Information was obtained from existing cemetery records, relatives of the deceased, the Adjutant Generals' Office at the State House, the local Soldier's Relief Office and the American Legion.
It was agreed to furnish the Adjutant General's Office with a set of record cards.
These records should prove most valuable to all concerned, espe- cially in connection with the decoration of graves.
Transcription of Vital Statistic Records
This project has been operating since January, 1940, and is being sponsored by Mr. William Cavanaugh, Town Clerk.
The workers have prepared a full typewritten alphabetical index of all births, marriages and death records from the year 1730 to date; to be arranged chronologically in loose leaf book form; also a card file in alphabetical order.
90
Even though the project is still operating, Mr. Cavanaugh has found that the records which have been prepared, are of great help for quick reference.
The sponsor will keep such records up to date upon completion of the project.
Sidewalk Project
This type of project was entirely new for our town and therefore considerable time was spent gathering ideas from neighboring towns and cities where sidewalks had been built.
The sponsor wanted that we should cast our own edgestone and those used in nearby towns did not seem to be just what they wanted. Our Field Engineer at the time was Mr. John A. DeLoria and he very kindly submitted for the approval of the sponsor, the Board of Selectmen, a sketch of a form in which the edgestone could be cast. This is the oue the sponsor decided to use and it has brought much favorable comment.
'The building of forms for the edgestone and the casting of edge- stone started at the highway building on February 12, 1940 under the supervision of Mr. James H. White. Superintendent of Highways. Only six men were assigned due to the lack of space and working facilities. This part of the work continued until May when more men were as- signed and outside work of excavating, setting edgestone and pour- ing concrete sidewalk was started on Church street, continuing until cold weather made it impossible to pour cement. The crew was again cut to six men and they are casting, piling and curing new edgestone for summer work.
Up to December 31, the following items of work had been accom- plished: 5440 feet of edgestone had been cast, of which 4275 feet had been laid, 2415 square yards of walk has been finished and cured, made 2466 square yards of grass plot, and cast 45 2' corners. 3246 subic yards of excavation was necessary before the above work could be done. Also 1526 cubic yards of gravel have been loaded and hauled.
Our State Administrator, Mr. Denis W. Delaney made it possible for us to receive $1500 worth of federal material to be used on this pro- ject. So far we have received cement amounting to $450. Also small bronze plates, which have been set in the cement walk, amounting to $33.
The project is written to operate on Church street, Middlesex Avenue, and Burlington Avenue, but due to the short season work was accomplished only on Church Street and a short section of Middlesex Avenue. We anticipate starting next spring where we left off.
91
Highway Projects
As in the past the Board of Selectmen have sponsored these pro- jects and the Superintendent of Streets, Mr. James H. White, has been supervisor.
The project on Andover Street continued to operate until February, when the federal funds were exhausted. Traveling conditions were greatly improved.
From Andover Street the men were transferred to Woburn Street, a project written to include the construction of shoulders on both sides of portions of Woburn Street, including the removal of boulders, ledges and trees. Reset stone walls within Town bounds, build culverts, ex- cavation and spreading gravel. This project has not been completed as it was superseded by a like project being approved for Swain Road, Swain Road, West, Morse Avenue, and Shawsheen Road.
One of the W. P. A. rules states that no town or city shall have more than one project of the same type approved or operating. Conse- quently the workers on Woburn Street were automatically transferred to the later project as soon as it was approved and the funds were available.
There is a substantial balance remaining on the Woburn Street project and we are in hope of completing the work in the near future.
Due to the reduction for the quota of men the cemetery and high- way projects were temporarily suspended during the summer months in order that all the workers could be assigned to the sidewalk project and as much work as possible could be accomplished during the good weather.
Moth Project
The purpose of Mr. John W. Babine, Tree Warden, in sponsoring another moth project was for the suppression of gypsy and brown-tail moths including tent caterpillars and other injurious insects. The project opened January 25, and continued until May only as the trees started to bud and projects of this nature were closed all over the State.
At the annual Town Meeting held March 4, 1940, it was voted to extend the water main easterly along Lowell Street from its present terminus, thence northerly along West Street, a total distance of 1300 Lin. Feet. The work to be done by nieans of a W. P. A. Project.
The Project was written and approved, but due to the large decrease in the number of W. P. A. men, the original vote was rescinded at a special Town Meeting held July 29, and the water main was installed by town labor under the supervision of the Board of Water Commis- sioners.
92
Develop Wildwood Cemetery
During 1940 W. P. A. Projects continued to operate in Wildwood Cemetery under the supervision of Mr. H. Oliver Newcomb, Super- intendent.
The balance of work remaining from 1939 on Project No. 16690 was completed in April and a new project ( No. 21275) was started the same month.
Project No. 21275 was suspended May 27, 1940 in order to release all the workers to the sidewalk job and was not re-opened until October 9, 1940. As of December 31, 1940 it is still in operation and there is available sufficient Federal money to maintain it for the major part of the ensuing year.
The physical accomplishments for the year 1940 are as follows: 9,000 square feet of land reclaimed from swamp and developed into a new area for welfare burials. 16 trees and stumps removed. 250 Lin. Feet of rustic stonewall built around the Town Hall. 625 Lin. Feet of drain pipe installed and five catch basins constructed. In addition to this, work was started on a new section with an area of 52,000 square feet. This section is almost entirely swamp and will require considerable filling in. As of December 31 work in this section is approximately 25% completed.
Incidental to the prosecution of these projects it was necessary to haul the following materials: 7,055 cubic yards of fill, 637 cubic yards of loam, 98 cubic yards of stone and 511 cubic yards of gravel. All materials were loaded by hand.
During the year 1940 we had few accidents on our W. P. A. projects considering the type of work the men were doing. Only one case re- quired hospitalization and all minor accidents were treated locally.
The largest number of workers at any one time during the year was 106, representing 421 persons.
Number of workers as of December 31, 62 representing 280 persons.
Largest payroll at any one time during the year-W/E March 26, 1940- $3291.19 for a two week period.
Payroll as of December 31-$1662.47 for a two week period.
Number of persons certified during 1940-76.
Number of persons waiting certification as of December 31,-None.
Number of persons resigning for private employment-21.
