REPORT OF THE WAYLAND PLANNING BOARD FOR 1933


The members of the Planning Board regret the loss of their beloved Chairman, Mr. Frank I. Cooper, who so suddenly passed from among us on October 23rd. We have endeavored to carry on the work of the Board with the same co-operative spirit as that imparted by Mr. Cooper's fine example and leader- ship which has been an inspiration to us ever since the first Board was formed seven years ago.


Our efforts have been directed toward the preparation of plans for welfare projects similar to the Cochituate Drainage proposal which we hope may be reconsidered at the 1934 annual meeting. Other projects prepared are a landscape and grading plan for the Town Hall lot approved by the Board of Park Commissioners ; also a Plan and Profile of the Hynes Brook and of the Library Brook both in Wayland Center, and sug- gested as C. W. A. Cleaning Projects by the Selectmen. The prints were turned over to the Welfare Board.


The Planning Board endorses Zoning of the Town and has lent its support to the Zoning Committee. We believe that the Town should avail itself of the protection a proper zoning law will afford.


GILBERT SMALL, Chairman, OTTO H. KOHLER, JAMES BOLTON, HOWARD S. RUSSELL, Clerk.

REPORT OF THE FIRE ENGINEERS


The Wayland and Cochituate companies have answered 81 alarms the past year, as follows :


Buildings


24


Chimney fires


6


Automobiles


3


Woods


21


Grass


16


Brush


3


Needless


1


False 7


81


Even though fewer alarms have been answered the fire loss has exceeded that of any previous year being over $40,000.


The Fire Alarm System and present apparatus are inade- quate to meet the demands continually being made upon them.


The Alarm System should be improved and extended to cover Wayland Village.


The two Reo trucks purchased in 1919 should be replaced at once as they have no value as fire fighting equipment. The replacement of these old trucks would place the department in a position to meet any demands which might be made upon it.


If the citizens of Wayland expect proper fire protection they must provide their volunteer department with proper apparatus.

The Board has investigated many complaints during the year. All contagious diseases that were reported were taken care of, but nothing can be done unless the case has been reported by the physician in charge or by the head of the family.


The Board wishes that everyone would realize the neces- sity of knowing the General Laws governing contagious cases.


The State Board of Health recommends that all children entering school be given the Antitoxin Test for the prevention of diphtheria.


The Town of Natick assumed the responsibility of one of our contagious cases and paid the bill to the hospital direct, which enabled us to turn back to the Town the sum of $561.13.

REPORT OF WAYLAND DISTRICT NURSE


Madam President and Members of the Wayland District Nursing Association :


I hereby submit my thirteenth annual report for the year ending December 31, 1933.


The Pre-School Conference, conducted by the State Depart- ment of Public Health, which was opened here in April, 1933, is doing excellent work.


The examinations which it offers are in charge of a child specialist, a nutritian worker, a dental hygienist and a state nursing consultant.


I have made appointments for these examinations by visit- ing the homes of pre-school children and consulting with their parents. I have had splendid co-operation.


It is hoped that all parents of children entering school for the first time in September, 1934, will have them examined and have all defects corrected before school begins, for a child who is physically handicapped by diseases fails to do good school work.


I have made a great many social service calls and have helped Mrs. Stone in the distribution of the Red Cross cloth- ing. I want to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Stone for her support and assistance.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


To the Citizens of the Town of Wayland :


Materials


The past year 40,098 gals. of bituminous material have been used on our highways. Of this amount 33,193 gals. were Tarvia and 6,905 gals. of Asphaltic oil.


14,476 gals. of Tarvia were used on Chapter 90 Mainten- ance.


Railings


1,396 ft. of wood fence were erected on the Island Road and 345 feet on various turn roads caused mostly by machines.


Culverts


7 stone culverts have been repaired and 128 feet of drain- age pipe have been replaced.


Gravel


847 yards of gravel have been spread on our roads this year. Shoulders have been cut back and 1,147 yards of waste have been carried off and used to fill and widen narrow roads where needed.


Sand


3,157 yards of sand have been used on Chap. 90 and oiling work. Most of this was taken from the Town pit at Baldwin's Pond.


Stone Bridge


The old Stone Bridge on Stone Bridge Road is in very bad condition. The abutments are working out of the place and would be costly to replace. Two cars cannot pass, the bridge being only twelve feet in width. The railing is absolutely use- less other than being a guide.


Traffic has increased on this road to such an extent that accidents are bound to come at this bridge.


This year there has been work given to 168 men of this Town.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR H. DUDLEY.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


Following is a general report of the work carried on by the Middlesex County Extension Service in the Town of Wayland for 1933.


Considerable time was spent in the Town assisting in the development of the area test for the eradication of bovine tuber- culosis. This was followed up with assistance on dairy replace- ments and also much time was spent in attempting to improve milk marketing conditions. Sectional, County, and State meet- ings have been attended and it is hoped that some progress is being made.


Local poultrymen have been given assistance in marketing problems, disease control, housing, and flock management.


A local meeting of interest to market gardeners was held during the winter and farm visits were made to fruit growers.


Joseph Decatur again made the State 300 Bushel Potato Club with a record of 336.71 bushels.


A large and active Extension group in Wayland Center carried the regular homemaker's day program this year. The leaders were Mrs. Leslie Reid, Mrs. T. P. Costello, and Mrs. Nellie Curley.


The Cochituate Mothers' Club of 50 members carries the Extension program regularly. Mrs. Arthur Peck, Mrs. Mar- garet Morrill, and Mrs. Stacia Celorier were leaders for this group.


The Wayland Center group has also carried the program in making children's coats and hats, with Mrs. Flora Cody and Mrs. Joseph Decatur as leaders.


The Parent-Teachers group in Cochituate has twice called for help from the Extension Service. At one time an illustrated


158


nutrition talk was given and at another time a discussion of storage space was presented.


For boys and girls 4-H Club work F. C. Benedict has served as Town chairman. Leaders for the clubs in the Town were Mrs. Joseph Decatur, Miss Doris Litchfield, Mrs. George Lewis, Mrs. James Walker, Miss Muriel Moran, Stanley Hew- itt, and Elmer Bigwood.


The Cochituate group held an exhibit in connection with the P. T. A. meeting in June.


In the thrift class of County and State dress revues Muriel Moran was a winner. Dorothy Decatur, Alice Cerastia and Alice Cowern took part in the County revue. Ruth Decatur was pianist for the State revue. She also broadcasted several selec- tions during the music broadcast over Station WLEY.


Elmer Bigwood was awarded ten days at the State 4-H Camp. A two-day trip to the State College was awarded to Alice Cowern and Mary Carastia for excellence in clothing work and to John Lindbohm for handicraft.


The Wayland canning club held a store-window exhibit and later received an award on a group exhibit at Acton Fair.


John Lindbohm and Herbert Schleicher were winners in the sectional handicraft contest in Ashland.


Tours to visit 4-H gardens were made by both garden clubs.


Wayland 4-H clubs entered a Town exhibit at the Lincoln Fair.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Wayland :


Following a time honored custom the School Committee of Wayland presents its annual report for the year ending Dec- ember 31, 1933. Incorporated in this report are the reports of the Superintendent of Schools, Principal of Schools, the School Physician, the School Nurse, and the Supervisor of Attendance. These reports will be found to contain much of interest and a careful perusal on the part of our citizens is earnestly requested.


The year that has just come to a close has been a very successful one in every way. All persons responsible for the conduct of our schools from the Superintendent to the enter- ing class teachers have devoted themselves unselfishly to the work of maintaining that high standard which has characterized the schools of Wayland.


Your Committee regards it as a paramount duty to provide every means possible for the proper development of the pupils to the end that they may become mentally, morally, physically, and socially fit members of society.


We have been very fortunate in the matter of overturn of teachers. The policy of the Committee in engaging the services of local girls of outstanding ability has proven satis- factory and is found to result in smaller overturn as time goes by.


The unbearably crowded conditions in schools having been thoroughly aired in special Town meetings, said Town meetings having authorized the construction of a new building, we may thus dismiss our major problem. The new structure, modern in every way and ideal for the purposes for which it is to be erected, will make future relief many years ahead.


In conclusion the School Committee desires to compliment all in the school service on their commendable action in the


163


present wages. The School Committee expresses its apprecia- tion for the noble work of aiding the worthy poor and to each boy and girl who has helped in any way to make life happier for his little neighbor in this time of stress the Committee extends its need of thanks.


May the year we are just entering upon be characterized by the same untiring endeavor on the part of our teachers as the year just closed. May the clouds of depression be dissipated and the sunshine of prosperity again gladden the hearts of our people.


Respectfully submitted, CORNELIUS J. MAGUIRE, DOROTHY C. STONE, LLEWELLYN MILLS, School Committee.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Wayland School Committee :


My twenty-fourth annual report is herewith presented. It is the thirty-seventh in the series from the office of the Union Superintendent.


It is highly gratifying to record the fact that a new high school building is all but assured the boys and girls of Wayland. It may not be completed for occupancy another September but before another winter we confidently hope to see the high school students so housed.


The combination building that has served both High and Elementary Schools so well until outgrown as to numbers the last few years will be used for elementary grades alone. The use of the rest room, School Committee office, Principal's office, the halls, and the inconveniently located attic rooms will be abandoned in so far as class room service is concerned. The eight legitimate class rooms will be available for the service of the eight grades of the Center Elementary School. The seven teachers now employed in the Elementary School at the Center will take seven of the class rooms in place of the four now used, supplemented by offices and halls. Five grades will be assigned to five teachers and the three upper grades to two teachers. This will leave one room for general school purposes until such time as the number of children shall have increased to the point where another teacher must be employed. Thus the combination elementary and high school building will be- come a simple elementary school building after thirty-seven years of dual service.
