T OF THE FiREWARDS 1961

During the year 1961 we had 22 calls as follows :

6 General Alarms

3 Chimney Fires

3 False Alarms

4 Town dump calls and Troy Mills dump

2 Grass fires

2 Car fires 2 Mutual Aid Calls

We are certainly pleased that there were no disastrous fires in the past year.

We expect to have a central fire alarm reporting station which we are sure will give the public instant, accurate, and excellent service. We hope that this service will be available within the next few months for all of the towns in the county.

Of course we realize that the alarm system is only a small but a most important part of the entire Fire Department. That is why we encourage very strongly, better cooperation and un- derstanding among the members of the department. We also advise that a more extended and a better attended training program be adopted.

Being a volunteer fireman has long been a great and honor- able fraternity of public spirited citizens.

We are sure that the entire Fire Department will become a fine, well trained, well managed, and well organized fire fighting machine. 76

Again this year we want to extend sincere thanks and ap- preciation to Troy Mills, Inc. for their interest and continued servicing of the fire alarm system. We also appreciate the fine help from the members of the Red Network.

For the coming year we are asking for an appropriation of $2,500.00.

COMMITTEE REPORT

The 1961 season at the Sand dam was a successful one with several highlights. Property maintenance was considerably improved. The purchase of a second hand lawn mower en- abled the staff to keep the entrance nicely mowed and to open up the area beneath the pines for picnicing. At the close of the season all small sports equipment was removed for winter storage. Our canoes are in good condition, the green canvas canoe having been patched and painted this spring. The buildings are in relatively good condition but the wharf will need

repairing to have it in good shape for next summers program.

Again this season we included Fitzwilliam children in the program fairly successfully. The Troy-Fitzwilliam committee met jointly several times and a high degree of cooperation was evidenced.

This year we enlarged our crafts program and many of the new crafts offered proved very popular. This area should

be explored further because arts and crafts, if correctly offered, can be an integral part of any good summer recreation program.

The highlight of the year's activities was our open-house and catered chicken barbecue. This was held on July 23 and about 400 people visited the area during the day. After the caoette catered chicken and hot dog-hamburg barbecue, the area received a new 50 star flag. The flag, given in memory of Mary Thompson, by her children, Mrs. Harriet Brown, Mrs. Olive Turlington, Mrs. Ruth Wye, Herbert Thompson, and Fred Thompson was presented by Mrs. Harriet Brown. A swimming meet was held with Jaffrey and the Troy-Fitz- william girls performed a water ballet. Two Little League games were played during the afternoon. The open-house re- 82 ceived good publicity in the local papers and gave many visitors an opportunity to see our facilities as well as provid- ing funds for a new tennis net and adding a sizable amount to our treasury.

Our staff was enlarged this year to six to insure better water front and main building coverage. This size staff is not more than adequate for good weather-high attendance days. It does not need to be as large on cold days when attendance is low. If available, good part-time help might be a solution next year.

As is customary, our staff was hired and paid for a ten week program with the exception of Mike Dunn, who due to military service, was with us a little over six weeks, during which time he served as waterfront director, being a certified water-safety instructor. Below are the salaries which the War Memorial committee requested the selectmen to pay the staff. Salaries were paid weekly 10 weeks.

For 6 Weeks Service Michael Dunn $450 00

For 10 Weeks Service Victor Collette 700 00 James McGinness 165 00 Sharon Girouard 100 00 Margaret Cumings 125 00 Barbara Starkey 165 00

Again I wish to thank Victor Collette, director, for his cooperation and interest, my thanks to the entire staff and the Troy-Fitzwilliam committees for their suggestions and cooperation, to Girl Scout troop 525 for their garden at the entrance, and to the staff, committee members and public spirited citizens who furnished transportation to our out-of-town events and assisted in many ways with our program.

It is with a sense of regret that due to the pressure of business at this time I announce my resignation as chairman, for there are a few projects I would like to have seen through 83

to completion. Among them are the construction of a new girl's bathhouse and a study to ascertain just what type of

recreation program would best fill our local needs. I have enjoyed working with and for the young people in Troy and I trust that in the not too distant future I will again find myself able to work more actively in this phase of our town work.

Respectfully submitted,

Those passing the tests received Red Cross certificates.

Of the land sports, baseball was the most popular. Tennis

is gaining in popularity and instruction in this sport is much in demand.

Morning attendance was not as high as it should have been. This rises the annual question of whether or not a morning program is advisable.

Field Trips Summer Theater—This was well attended and apparently enjoyed by the large group who attended Keene Summer Theater. Should be continued.

Mount Monadnock climb—Very popular with the children. Bicycle trip to Fitzwilliam—Very popular and well attended.

AN APPEAL FROM YOUR FOREST FIRE WARDEN

In these days of constantly rising taxes and wages, any unneces- sary expense is an added burden on everyone's pocketbook — yours and mine. Forest fires cost money and damage our valuable woodlands. Lightning sets some forest fires, but we have no control of lightning. Children cause many fires. Ninety-eight percent of our forest fires result from human carelessness — our carelessness. This, we — you —

and I can do something about.

When we require you to obtain a permit for out-of-doors burning or forbid you to burn on days or high fire danger or set up regulations — hours, etc., governing the use of the town dump we are simply protecting yours and the town's interests.

The ever present threat of forest fires is the concern of all of

us; the responsibility for preventing them is ours and the costs of ex- tinguishing are ours. We can do something about this problem, by being aware of and alert to the danger and by cooperating with your warden.

Do the things that are required of you —

1. Follow the warden's directions.

2. Secure the required burning permit.

3. Keep your fires under control.

4. Completely extinguish your fires before leaving them.

5. See that your children are properly cautioned.

Everyone will benefit by it.
