TOWN OF NORWOOD
Other features included a Pet Show, Doll Show and Play Day where the Freckle King and Queen were chosen.
During the last week the Baseball Championship was settled; and a group of boys attended the game between the Boston Braves and the Cin- cinnati Reds.
A water carnival, featuring a colorful umbrella race, a balloon race and stunt diving added to the annual swimming competition at Hawes Pool. Several boys and girls passed the requirements for the American Red Cross junior and senior lifesaving badges. Instructions were given by the life-guards at the pool.
An unusual amount and quality of handwork was completed at the Civic where one instructor devoted all her time to crafts.
The tennis courts at the Civic were open for use during the entire season. Tennis rackets donated by townspeople were loaned to the boys and girls.
Badminton equipment was added to Wilson Street Playground by the Improvement Association.
The Playground Season closed with a "Victory Pageant" at the Civic on Thursday, August 26.
I wish to express my appreciation for your cooperation and for the coop- eration of the Recreation Advisory Committee. I wish to thank the in- structors, through you, for the service they rendered to the Norwood children.

REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
"A NEW ERA IN HISTORY: THE LIBRARY FACES ITS CHALLENGE"
1943 AT THE MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY NORWOOD, MASS.
Highlights of the Year
Library Service was started at the Norwood Hospital.
Post-war plans for professional services and building improvements were made and registered with the Federal Works Agency.
Twenty-nine librarians attended an all-day library "clinic" started at this library.
Service continued without interruption throughout the year, in spite of a 50% staff turnover and sick-leaves.
From books solicited by the Norwood Committee, Victory Book Cam- paign, 1,200 books of high quality were shipped to servicemen all over the world.
The work has been re-classified. More emphasis is placed on function than on rank; and work is assigned by type of worker needed: professional, clerical, and non-skilled.
.
Neighborhood Services
Direct book service from our agencies outside the Main Library gave 23 per cent of the year's circulation. These "outposts" had only 8.4% of the book stock. Taking books to the people gets results.
The South Norwood Branch Library has 300 registered borrowers. They took home 10,267 books. The ability of Miss Minnie J. Greig, (resigned), Branch Librarian since its start, is an important factor in this evidence of growth.
"Open House" was held in May on the second anniversary of direct service to South Norwood residents. "The Achievements of the Neighbor- hood" was the theme of the evening. The Balch School, the Norwood Historical Society, and The American Red Cross, South Norwood Branch, took part in ways that showed their own history and contributions to the town and the country.
Among displays at the Branch were costume designs by Helen Pielka; a Christmas creche; and objects lent by South Norwood churches in recogni- tion of Catholic Book Week.
Weekly hot-weather service was given the children of the Callahan play- ground by the Library's Junior Department. Thorough inquiries were made to determine whether or not direct service was needed here for adults of the district. It was found that the playground not being near a shopping center made it inconvenient.
The library's neighborhood service extends beyond town borders. Many non-residents use the library in many ways. Thirty-four pay for the privilege.
158
TOWN OF NORWOOD
Friendly Things Norwood People Do For Their Library
Mrs. Robert Whittlesey, of the Norwood Garden Club has many times brought and arranged flowers, and also Christmas decorations. Their artistic quality is one of the library's assets.
The Probert family gave a victrola and records. This has been a great addition to story hours.
The Norwood Woman's Club presented a beautiful flower dish, a holder, and carved wooden stand.
Twenty-nine organizations and individuals gave books. Fifteen friends of the library's hospital service have given magazines; and twelve public spirited citizens brought flowers for others to enjoy.
Volunteer aid included the valuable services of five men and women assisting with story hours; the Girl Scouts, in physical work on books; the Camp Fire Girls, in making book marks; two boys who got out and put away chairs for story hours; and Camp Fire Girls ninth graders from the Junior High School and St. Catherine's School in reading to the younger children.
Hospital Service
Norwood people want a good library. They have shown themselves ready to support it with funds and encouragement. Within five years, the town has made it possible to start direct service to South Norwood people in a new branch; and, beginning April 26, 1943, new service to patients from Norwood and surrounding towns at Norwood's 125-bed hospital.
Miss Barbara Jordan is in charge. She is aided by Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, Assistant, and by Miss Phyllis Draper of Canton, volunteer. Other volunteers have also helped make the service possible. Mrs. Harold Alden served many times.
One afternoon a week a book truck is wheeled to the bedside of every patient - man, woman, or child, who feels well enough to read. Two hundred and ten books carefully chosen for hospital use have constant addition by purchase and exchange with the Main Library. Fifty-five is the average number of books requested in an afternoon by patients, nurses, and hospital personnel.
Mrs. Johnson compiled an attractive book list, "Modern Babies Are Lucky," for distribution in the Maternity Ward.
Typical of the results of this service is the story of one patient who kept her morale high and added to her equipment by reading over twenty books relating to her job, during a long convalescence. Another instance is that of a little boy, discovered in tears, who was left in chuckles after the librarian had brought him bright diversion from the children's part of the book truck - plus her own cheery presence.
A doctor has truly said, "The pain may be in the stomach, but the cure may be in the mind."
159
REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Wartime Staff Changes
Miss Minnie J. Grieg, Branch Librarian; Mrs. Annie S. Gotovich, As- sistant, and Mrs. Jane Barry Balsley, Junior Assistant, resigned to the regret of their many friends. Mr. C. Bernard Pearson, Custodian, was granted leave for the duration to work at the Navy Yard. Mrs. Balsley's place is filled by Mrs. Helen B. Field, and Mr. Pearson's temporary absence, by Mr. Dinne Flansbury.
Part-time work has been strengthened and new features put into effect. Mrs. John Regan and Mrs. Harry Fraser continue to be of great aid as substitutes in professional work.
A student from the secretarial class at the Peabody School has been engaged for stenography and typing. Five pupils from the Senior High School started non-professional work as pages. Admirably taught by Mrs. Johnson, they are making a place for themselves in library life.
Patriotic Services
Book selection, display, and special exhibits have stressed service to our country, and the values for which it stands. This has been true in all departments and in releases for publication. It has included emphasis on world conditions and post-war needs.
The Norwood Committee, Victory Book Campaign, has solicited, re- corded, sorted, and shipped 1,200 excellent books to service men in all parts of the world. The Committee, of which the Librarian is chairman, has as its other members:
Harold L. Alden
Douglas Huntoon
Howard Babcock Frances Lydon
Mrs. Herbert L. Barrett Elizabeth O'Sullivan
Helen Gale Mrs. Wallis Stuart
They have been ably assisted in the work by all members of the library staff.
The Norwood Public Safety Committee's Division of Health and Social Service, of which the librarian is chairman, is an organization of Norwood organizations functioning in these two fields. The Division follows health and social service needs of the town in wartime, compares work done here with that in other similar communities, and notes with recommendation new work that is needed.
We Receive, and We Give, in the Public Library Field
Twenty-nine librarians of Greater Boston towns with like problems at- tended an all-day "Library Clinic" started here as an experiment. The day centered on a demonstration of the way this library functions. At each work center the staff member in charge described procedures and answered questions.
Staff members attended another "Library Clinic" held later at the Winchester Library; the winter meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association, at which Miss Phillips led the Small Libraries Group; and the
160
TOWN OF NORWOOD
Plymouth meeting of the Old Colony Library Club, of which she is Vice- President, and at which Miss Shumaker spoke on "New Children's Books."
The Misses Phillips, Jordan, and Shumaker spoke before five local organizations on books and reading. Miss Jordan contributed information used in part of a library career article in the magazine "Mademoiselle." Miss Phillips was asked to write an account of time-saving for libraries by the elimination of accession books and all accession numbers for the Massa- chusetts Library Association "Bulletin." Her "Staff Progress Measure- ment" was published in the "Wilson Bulletin," and used in the "News- letter" of the Massachusetts Division of Public Libraries. On vacation, she attended the course for library administrators given at Chicago University, Graduate School of Library Science.
The Library's annual report has been used at the teacher-training group of the National Council of Citizenship Education for Aliens.
Monthly book reviews by staff members, started in September, have added to staff information about important new books. Every department has issued lists of books added, plus three subject lists.
Youth Reads, when Miss Shumaker Leads
The Junior Department's active program of introducing books to readers has also had fine aid by the Department's Assistant, Mrs. Ann Gotovich.
For the first time weekly story hours were extended to include informal readings under the trees in hot weather. The programs always leading up to book interests, had a total attendance of 1,780.
In vacation, 134 boys and girls joined the reading project entitled "The Victory Garden Club." Their achievement of reading and reporting on 800 books was recognized at a special program with moving pictures.
Instruction in the use of the Intermediate Room was given 212 seventh grade pupils from public and parochial schools. Second graders from the Shattuck School were brought to the Children's Room for the first time for an introduction.
Many parents and other grown people buying books for boys and girls have requested aid in selection.
Post-War Library Needs in Norwood
Knowing the value of doing it early, the library filed a preliminary plan last year with the Public Works Reserve.
April 15 of this year, a revised plan was filed with the Public Works Agency, Regional Director, John M. Gallagher, successor to the Public Works Reserve.
This plan represented minimum needs for a developing library service after the war.
In common with libraries in other parts of the country, we recognize the need for revision, from time to time, in the light of local application of changing world conditions.
161
REPORT OF MORRILL MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Miss Eaton's cataloging and supervision of cataloging of 2,393 new books represents important work, well done. Miss Jordan's fine statistical work on all records, bills, and budget is another background activity not always apparent to readers. Both services are vital to an effective and smooth-running library.
This war year of 1943 has brought more difficult problems in the running of the library than has any year on record. At its close, however, those on the Board of Trustees and on the staff seem especially close to the librarian, and never more highly esteemed.
EDNA PHILLIPS, Librarian.

Resolutions Miss Wilda L. Vose
Miss Wilda L. Vose, after thirty years of service in the Norwood Public Schools, her work characterized by unsparing and seemingly tireless effort in the interests of our Town and its schools, has retired from these services.
Upon the occasion of her retirement, the School Committee records its deep appreciation of her leadership and guidance in the field of Education and extends to her its best wishes for many years of good health and for- tune.
Mr. John J. Fitzgerald
After thirty years of uninterrupted service in the work carried on in the public schools of Norwood, we know that you must feel that you have played a very important part in, and contributed in no small way, to our school program.
Ever mindful of your generous, cooperative and enthusiastic spirit in your work, it is with regret that we note the departure from our service of one whom we shall long remember.
We hope that in years to come, you will look back upon this record with much satisfaction. We hope, too, that the memories of pleasant associa- tions and work well done will enrich the enjoyment of the many years which we hope lie before you.
School Committee Resignations
We report the loss of two of our School Committee members, both of whom are now serving under the Colors.
Mr. John J. Murphy, 273 Railroad Avenue, submitted a request for military leave and resigned on February 9, 1943, and Mr. Anthony G. O'Donnell, 299 Railroad Avenue, did likewise on June 22, 1943.
169
REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Mr. Murphy is a member of the U. S. Marine Corps and Mr. O'Donnell is in the U. S. Navy.
We, who have served our schools with them, appreciate their valued services and look forward to their return to civilian life and we hope that their interest in our schools will be continued.
Rationing Registration
Again this year, our schools have cooperated with the Office of Price Administration to the end that Norwood residents might be properly pro- vided for in the National Rationing Registration program.
All schools were closed during the days February 22-26 for the pur- pose of distributing War Ration Book II and again, all elementary schools: were closed October 25, 26 and 27 for distribution of War Ration Book IV ..
In addition to these formal activities, our school employees have re- sponded admirably to many other calls for War Emergency assistance, many of which are indicated in the reports of others to be found elsewhere in the Department report.
School Building Maintenance
Due partly to increased labor and material costs, but more especially to accumulating depreciation, we have, this year, spent much more money for building repairs than we would, normally.
In other years the replacement of equipment has been a major item in our maintenance program. Much new equipment is not now on the mar- ket and for this reason, replacement of such things as typewriters is im- possible. Substantial sums have been spent for much needed building repairs and equipment.
Such items as the removal of the parapet at the Balch School and re- placement of rotted timbers, roof-boards and roof surface; re-conversion of oil-burning heating facilities at the High and Junior High Schools to meet the requirements of the Office of Petroleum Administration; re-roofing of a section of the Junior High School; new concrete steps, regrading of and concrete work in Junior High School walks; and much plumbing and steam- fitting in the Shattuck, Junior High and Senior High Schools, have called for substantial expenditure of school maintenance funds.
