Decontamination equipment has been provided by the State for use in case of poison gas-Charles Backus or Robert M. Dickey to be the decontamination officer.
In compliance with the ruling of the Massachusetts Com- mittee on Public Safety the local report center telephone is maintained twenty-four hours a day for the protection of our citizens. This service will be continued until such time as the need is no longer necessary.
The civilian defense organization is ready at all times to answer any emergency and offer complete and adequate protec- tion to the people of the town.
