Two new substitutes, each with excellent academic preparation and high personal qualities were trained in the rudiments of work here.
The Simmons School of Library Science sent a student for a week of observation and practice work. Miss Jordan completed the first of four summer sessions at this school, leading upon its successful conclusion, to a degree of B.S. in Library Science.
Upon the Finance Board of Norwood requesting of all town departments, a statement on salaries, the librarian prepared a comprehensive report and table, giving for the first time recommended minimum and maximum salaries for each position, and educational requirements. If adopted, this should aid appreciably in raising education standards, general and pro- fessional.
This library's "Progress measurement, 1941," was prepared as an annual self-measurement device for all members of the staff. Incidentally, a super- intendent of schools suburban to New York has had copies of it made for every member of his faculty.
Who Uses the Library?
209 more people joined this year than last.
49 former borrowers whose cards had lapsed, returned, following an extensive mailing of invitations to resume use.
Borrowers are given quicker service as a result of extensive work in transfer of 3,200 old application cards to a new type card on a visible index. Miss Greig supervised the work, carried out by NYA helpers. Convenience is also served by a complete rearrangement of the charging desk to enable patrons to return books on the side in direct line from the front door.
One of the library's many nonresident users who pay for the privilege, remarked, "It is the best use for a dollar I know anything about."
Friendly Things People Do For the Library
Honor is due those who by their skill and generosity have helped, in services or gifts: Mrs. Robert Whittlesey has represented the Norwood Garden Club in exceptionally artistic flower arrangements at intervals throughout the year. At the library's request she lectured on the subject to the Girl Scouts as a preliminary to their undertaking the project of flower arrangements in the Junior Department.
Miss Helen Arnold, school art supervisor, had poster size catalog cards made for use in library lectures to pupils.
Boys and girls have voluntered work in preparation of books for school collections, and in placing chairs for story hours.
66
The Norwood Daily Messenger and the Norwood Free Press have been among the library's friends by their constant use of the excellent news articles, usually written by Miss Jordan.
Each week during January and February, a friend of the library gave twenty-five cents a week for flowers to use on the charging desk.
Books, pictures or magazines have come from:
American Legion, Department of Massachusetts; Charles S. Bird; Miss Clara L. Capen; Catholic Woman's Club; Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland; Willard W. Everett; Hiram Fuller; Grand Army of the Republic, Depart- ment of Massachusetts; Miss Agnes Hedberg; Rev. Marinus James; Mrs. F. Bradbury Jenness; Junior High School; Mrs. John Keenan; Lincoln D.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The Norwood Board of Public Welfare submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1941.
The present board was appointed by the Selectmen on May 13, 1941. The organization has been as follows since May 19, 1941. Eileen J. Folan, Chairman; Mrs. Marion B. Brennan, Secretary; and John A. Abdallah.
The Welfare Board continued to act as the referral agency for the Works Progress Administration and this authority still remained delegated to Mr. Thomas A. Rorke, the Sponsors Agent.
The selection of the Junior Civilian Conservation Corps applicants continued to be handled by the Welfare Department. No quotas were established during the year 1941 but continuous enrollment was available. There were no boys sent to the Civilian Conservation Corps during 1941. The employment condition existing in Norwood and the nearby towns, undoubtedly contributed to the fact that no young men were interested enough to join the Civilian Conservation Corps.
A summary of the active General Relief cases with the number of people as of the last day of each month in 1941 appears on page 69.
The number of Aid to Dependent Children cases changed but little during the course of the year and it would appear that under normal conditions this load should be about constant. The liberalization of the law that went into effect in 1940 has been in operation long enough to help stabalize the case load in this group.
The reduction in the number of Temporary Aid cases occurred for the most part in the employable group. This is no doubt due to employment conditions that have improved on account of the Defense program. Some seasonal unemployment was experienced and this is expected from time to time due to local conditions.
The Works Progress Administration has also experienced a reduction in the number of men employed. During the later part of the year the Works Progress Administration laborers were sent to a project in Hingham, Massachusetts and were paid a higher wage scale thus helping reduce the cost of the supplementary list which was being aided by the Public Welfare Department. The eighteen months lay-off on the Works Progress Adminis- tration did not reflect materially on the Public Welfare case load in 1941 chiefly due to the reduced number of men employed on the Works Progress Administration. The average weekly number of people employed on the Works Progress Administration in 1941 was 65.
The Sewing Project in Norwood ceased to operate on June 21, 1941. This same condition was experienced in several other towns serving the central distribution depot in Quincy, Massachusetts. Therefore, the amount of clothing received from Quincy was considerably less than in former years.
68
Listed below are the types of clothing received from Quincy and dis- tributed.
Pajamas, Men, Women and Children
Overalls, Men and boys
Dresses, Women, Girls and Infants
Playsuits, Boys
Shirts, Men and boys
Sunsuits, Boys and Girls
Pants, Men and boys
Sheets
Shorts, Men and boys
Pillow cases
Slips, Women and Girls
Blankets
Nightshirts, Men
Baby blankets
Layettes
It is estimated by the Surplus Commodity Division that the value of clothing received by Norwood was $5,249.94 for the year 1941.
The Federal Surplus Commodity Division through the State Depart- ment of Public Welfare and the local Board continued to act as the distribut- ing center supplying surplus commodities to properly accredited individuals and families. The value of these food stuffs as estimated by the Commodity Division was $17,086.61 for the year 1941. Listed below are the types of food received from Quincy and distributed.
Cereal
Squash
Pears
Corn meal
Carrots
Eggs
Beets
Cabbage Lard
Beans
Apples
Flour (graham)
Tomatoes
Grapes
Flour (white)
Corn
Peaches
Grapefruit juice
Potatoes
Prunes
Raisins
The Welfare Department needed no additional appropriation in any category for the year 1941. The suits brought by the City of Boston in 1936 and 1937 have been settled to the advantage of Norwood without seeking any additional funds; there being sufficient balances to meet this claim.
The Town Clerk and Accountant's report shows in detail the appropria- tions and expenditures and receipts from all sources dealing with the Welfare Department.
The Board of Public Welfare wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen; Mr. William C. Kendrick, General Manager; Dr. George Klein, Town Physician; Mr. Walter A. Blasenak, Town Clerk and Accountant; Mr. Thomas A. Rorke, Sponsors Agent, Works Progress Administration, the American Red Cross and all other persons for their co-operation and help extended during the year.

The average monthly case load in 1941 was 127.5. In this type of aid each person is considered as one case.
The net increase in 1941 was less than in 1940 and this would seem to indicate that under the present laws the peak load as to cases at the age of sixty-five that can be expected is being reached.
Some of the causes for adding the new cases in 1941 are as follows:
Loss of employment.
15
Relatives not able to continue support.
5
Physically unable to continue gainful employment. 7
Funds exhausted 4
Transferred from other Municipalities
4
Transferred from other type of aid
1
Widowed. 1
Medical attention needed

Total : 38
71
Old Age Assistance in 1941 was administered in the same manner as in 1940, there being no basic change in the law or in the rules governing the same.
The improved employment conditions have not reflected on the Old Age Assistance cases to any great degree.
The financial statement showing expenditures and receipts from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and other municipalities and the receipts from the Federal Government with respect to Old Age Assistance will be found in the Town Accountant's report.
Respectfully submitted,
