Visting Nurse
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
Services of the Visiting Nurse in the Town of Hat- field have been in existence for four teen (14) years. Dur- ing this time people have learned to avail themselves of her services and are finding them of great value.
Our association was very fortunate to have a hospi- tal bed, mattress, sideboards, table and foot stool given to it by the Cooley Dickinson Hospital, for the use of towns- people needing such a bed. There is no charge for use of this equipment, but we do stipulate that the person using such completely cover the mattress with plastic or rubber covering.
We are also happy to announce a new collapsible type wheelchair and crutches have been donated to the asso- ciation by the Hatfield Town Service Unit of the Salva- tion Army.
Any of this equipment may be borrowed by contact- ing the Visiting Nurse, Mrs. Lucille Godek.
The following is the report of Mrs. Godek for 1961 :

In the spring three immunization clinics were held. Booster injections of Diphtheria-Whooping Cought and Tetanus were given. A total of eighty-seven (87) pre- school children received the injections.
On May 9 and 10, sixty-seven children were examined by Dr. Fredricka Smith at the Well-Child Clinic. Mrs. Richard Thompson of Amherst and Mrs. Vesta Coombs of Greenfield served as nutritionists.
At the request of Cooley Dickinson Hospital, four visits were made to homes for appraisal prior to the dis- charge of premature infants.
The following is the report of the treasurer, Mrs. Margaret Cantwell:

Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of Hatfield :
During the past year pruning and trimming was done in the most dangerous areas of Pantry Road, Chestnut Street, North Street, Main Street, Porter Avenue, Maple Street, Valley Street, Prospect Street, Bridge Street and Dwight Street. All roadside trees were sprayed with D.D.T. Thirty-four young maple trees were planted and fertilized both as replacements and in new sites. Twelve trees infected with Dutch Elm disease were taken down and burned. Twenty-four other trees were taken down due to storm damage or wood decay. Tree removals were as follows :
School Street
4 elms
North Street
4 elms, 1 catalpa
Bridge Street 3 elms
Elm Street
4 elms, 2 maples
Pantry Road
1 elm
Mountain Road
1 elm
Main Street Cemetery

North Hatfield Road

The hurricane of July 21, 1961, caused heavy damage to our shade trees. Lower Main Street, Maple Street, Elm Street, Prospect Street and School Street were the heavi- est damaged sections, with lighter breakage and debris throughout the town. The cost of cleaning up after this storm was approximately $1,560.00. $1,200.00 was added to the tree work account at this time from the Reserve Fund. Due to the hurricane of July 21, 1961, and the ice storms in December a lot more pruning and trimming should be done in the coming year.

FRANCIS E. GODIN Tree Warden

Library Report
To the Trustees of the Public Library and the Citizens of Hatfield:
I herewith submit my second report as Librarian of Hatfield :
One of life's great adventures is reading, for it opens up new worlds of every age beside enriching the mind and heart. To accomplish this, one must begin early in child- hood to read "good" books. If the child does not read "good" books, he often turns to television and then read- ing to him is not a pleasure but a tiresome task. The chil- dren of Hatfield are reading many "good" books for their reports and some are becoming avid readers.
Seven hundred and forty-nine books were catalogued and added to the library in 1961. Of these four hundred and thirty-two were for children and three hundred and seventeen were for adults.
We borrowed 1,868 books from the State Regional Library Center in Greenfield during the year. Of these 749 were for children, a much larger number of children's books borrowed than in previous years. Through inter- library loan we have the privilege of borrowing, from sur- rounding libraries, any book not found on our shelves. This privilege we will gladly use on request. We also bor- row a collection of Polish books every two months from the State Library Center in Boston.
During the summer months we had an illustrated story hour which was well attended. Because it was im-
41
possible to darken the room, the picture was not too clear. To remedy this the Trustees had venetian blinds put on the windows in the new room. They also had storm win- dows installed.
This year the library lost a sincere friend in the death of Mrs. Thaddeus Graves, who gave many interesting books to the library each year. I wish to thank the people who donated books to the library during the year.
Our library is now open 15 hours a week to meet the minimum hours of service set up by the State for a Town the size of Hatfield. It is open Monday and Friday from 11:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. and 6:45 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and Wednesday from 11:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
During the year I attended several library meetings which dealt with new library policies.
To Mrs. Helen Osley, Mrs. Doris Vollinger, the trus- tees and teachers, I wish to extend my sincerest apprecia- tion for their co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET A. CANTWELL
Librarian
