MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE
A Report of the Work Done by the Middlesex County Extension Service in the Town of Wayland for the Year 1925
An appropriation of $300.00 was made at the annual meeting in support of the Middlesex County Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics. The fol- lowing is a report of the work done by this organization in Wayland for the year 1925:
The agricultural work in the Town of Wayland is carried on mainly in the form of farm visits to indi- vidual farmers to assist them with their personal prob- lems. Twenty-three such visits were paid during the year on subjects relating to fruit, poultry and field crops. A talk on poultry production was given at one of the motion picture performances.
In home economics two canning demonstrations were held and were well attended. A series of five meetings was conducted on the subject of clothing. These meetings were attended by twelve women. Two groups of women have been taking up the subject of food selection through a series of meetings. Approxi- mately fifty women have been interested in this work. Two meetings were held on the subject of millinery and both were well attended.
In the 4-H Club activities seventy boys and girls were enrolled in the clothing, bread, poultry, handicraft, garden and canning clubs. Accomplishments were shown in the Achievement Program at one of the spring motion picture performances. Evelyn Peters, Albert Lizotte and Harvey C. Newton were awarded the Two- Day Trip to the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Karl Benedict was elected Vice President of the Junior Directors of Middlesex County.
113
Motion pictures were shown nine times to a total audience of 1565.
Many of the fruit growers in the town profited by receiving the spray service postal cards which were sent out from time to time during the spray season. In addi- tion, several county-wide meetings, such as the County Picnic at Concord, the Annual Extension Service meet- ing at Waltham, meetings for fruit growers and poultry- men, and Leaders' Training meetings for homemakers have been held during the year and were attended by many of the Wayland people.

WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland:
The Board organized with Walter C. Smith, Chair- man; Alfred C. Damon, Clerk and Collector; and A. A. Lamarine, was appointed Superintendent.
One of the first acts of the Board was a general sur- vey of the service mains and it was voted that all future extensions of water service mains shall be nothing less that 4 inch cast iron pipe.
The financial condition of the Water Department made it advisable to establish new service rates, the amount being determined after a canvas of rates in other towns.
There being no town counsel, and legal questions having arisen, the Board, after consulting Mr. Waddell as to its rights, appointed Warren L. Bishop as its coun- sel. The advice of the attorney has undoubtedly pre- vented many legal complications.
In case of fire the Board determined that the gate valve between Natick and Cochituate shall be under the jurisdiction of the Fire Department.
It has been customary in past years to furnish free water and make all necessary repairs on water mains in Lakeview Cemetery. These mains have been installed for a number of years and are the cause of much expense to keep in repair. During the past year there has been considerable waste of water, for which the Cemetery Commissioners did not hold themselves responsible. The Water Board believes that this service should be placed under the same rules and regulations as other town de- partments.
Back bills to the amount of $703.30 were outstand- ing against the Water Board. It was felt that certain of these bills should be paid, and on the advice of the Se- lectmen and Counsel of the Board, payment has been made.
118
The Clerk of the Board was advised by the State Auditing Department that the back rates showing on the books must be collected-legal action to be taken if necessary.
There is a balance in the treasury of $1,828.15. Against this balance there is a note of $1,000.00 due March 28, 1926, plus accrued interest.

CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
During 1925 two additional Funds have been received for perpetual care-one of $100 to establish the "Maria F. Spofford" Fund. and one of $200 to establish the "George B. Folsom" Fund.
The last of December, 1925, the Commissioners re- ceived through the National Shawmut Bank of Boston. Mass .. $300. in part payment of $400 left by the late Wallace S. Draper to establish a Fund for care of certain lots in North Cemetery. The balance of $100 will be received early in 1926.
To date the total amount in funds invested in U. S. Liberty Bonds, for perpetual care Funds, amounts to $12.850.00.
The Commissioners have made the best possible use of the limited amounts appropriated by the Town for the care of the Three Cemeteries, but had to leave much necessary work undone after August, through lack of money.
Owing to the Town's action, in Town Meeting in 1925. in increasing the wage paid to Town workmen to $5.00, after the Finance Committee had allowed the Cemetery Commission $400 for the care of North and Centre Cemeteries and $400 for Lake View Cemetery, the Cemetery Commissioners were unable to have any work done after the middle of August, 1925.
Many complaints have been received about the condi- tion of the Cemeteries during the latter part of 1925, and the citizens of the Town of Wayland should realize that on an appropriation of $400, giving a man $5.00 a day, only gives eighty days' work.
When the Cemeteries are not cleaned up in the Fall the work is almost doubled in the Spring.
The Commissioners hope the citizens, having pride in the Cemeteries of the Town, will take such action at
128
the next Town Meetting as will provide sufficient funds to properly care for the Cemeteries to the end of the year.

REPORT OF MEMORIAL DAY COMMITTEE
The Board of Selectmen,
Wayland, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
The 1925 Memorial Day Committee submits the fol- lowing report:
The observance of Memorial Day this year followed closely that of previous years, both as regards program and expense.
The desire to reverse the program of the Day's ob- servance has been voiced to members of this committee by citizens. That is, to hold our exercises in Cochituate in the morning and in Wayland in the afternoon.
Your committee believes this desire to be logical and just although such a reversal of the program would in- crease the expenses of the Day's observance to such an extent that an increas eof $100.00 in the annual appro- priation would be required.
The annual duty of locating and decorating veteran's resting places in the various cemeteries would be greatly aided by an accurate map, with verteran's graves desig- nated. Since a survey of Lake View Cemetery was in progress, your committee thought this an opportune time to locate and designate all veteran's graves on the new map. At the recommendation of one of your board the Cemetery Commissioners were informed of this Commit- tee's desire, and promised to cooperate in preparing such a map.
We feel that succeeding committees will find such maps of great value, and trust that they will aid their successors by helping keep these maps up to date.
Yours very truly,
139

REPORT OF THE WAYLAND DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
The work of the Association for the past year has been steadily increasing and we have many problems to deal with which cause the expenditure of much time and care. The help and co-operation of the townspeople is of much value to us and we are most appreciative of it, for it has been freely given.
In July a "Well Baby and Pre-school Child" confer- ence was held in Wayland and Cochituate, with a physi- cian, dietitian and nurse from the State Department of Public Health in attendance besides our district nurse and assistants from the Association. This conference or clinic was most successful and especially in Cochituate, where we had too many babies for the time allotted. The babies or small children were weighed, measured and carefully examined by the physician. If found to be under weight, each case was discussed by the dietitian and mother and a carefully balanced diet with sugges- tions on care given. If any sickness was found, the case or cases were referred to the family physician.
