IN MEMORIAM
With the passing of Mr. Kennedy, Randolph suffers a loss from the intelligent type of service which he contributed during his sixteen years in public office.
As Moderator, his conduct of town meetings was an example of efficient and fair administration. His fundamental purpose was the greatest good to be ac- complished for the general welfare.
He served as Tax Collector during a time of great financial stress, which called for keen judgment tem- pered by a friendly spirit of fairness to all concerned. The qualities of courage, ability and judgment, which he exercised in a fearless but humane manner under circumstances at times most difficult, were foremost characteristics of the man.
Those who knew him well appreciate in his pass- ing the loss of a loyal friend and associate, and the town in general recognizes the loss of an intelligent, able and fearless public servant of the highest type.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Randolph :
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the By- Laws of The Turner Free Library, this report, for the calendar year 1936 and being the sixty-first annual report, is submitted, showing the condition of the trust consisting of the building, library, and funds, together with the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer and so much of the reports submitted to the Trustees by the various committees as seems of general interest.
The Library Committee reports that the books, charts and furnishings are in good condition and that all books belonging to the Library are accounted for by the Librarian.
The Building Committee reports that the reading room has been restored to its normal uses after having been loaned for over two years for the use of a sewing project, and that the furniture and, where necessary, the woodwork in that room and in the reference room have been refinished. This committee, however, re- ports as its major activity for the year an extensive overhauling of the electric lighting system, involving the removal of the old wiring, which had remained in place for many years, and the substitution of new wiring throughout, the rearrangement and relocation of the lights and the replacement of the old lighting fixtures by modern ones. The institution of the work was preceded by a scientific study and survey of the situation by experts. It is confidently believed that the results, when completed, will be found to be an im- provement of the greatest importance. Aside from the general benefit of more and better diffused light, the better location of the lighting units will make it easier for the Library staff to locate books called for by the public, and for the public to examine the books on the shelves in search of interesting material.
188
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
It is believed that the change will tend to a more comfortable use of books in the reference and reading rooms. The protection of the eyesight of readers and especially of school children, by good lighting facil- ities is of paramount importance and, from that point of view, if for no other reason, the expenditure in- volved seems abundantly justified.
For the completion of this work and for such exterior and interior repairs to the building and its furniture and fixtures as may from time to time be necessary, an appropriation of $700.00 is requested.
The Librarian's report indicates a slight decrease as compared with 1935 in the circulation of books and magazines. More books have been added than during 1935. In that connection the Trustees desire to add their thanks to those of the Librarian to the donors of the books received as gifts.
The Trustees take this opportunity again to ex- press their appreciation of the unfailing efficiency and loyalty of Miss Eunice L. Belcher, the Librarian, and her assistants, Miss Ellen P. Henry and Miss Helen C. Elden, and of the janitor, Mr. John T. Moore.
A copy of each of the following reports is here- unto subjoined : the report of the Librarian ; the report of the Treasurer, showing the investment of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the Library; and the report of the Finance Committee.
Respectfully submitted, SETH T. CRAWFORD,
President, Board of Trustees.
Randolph, Mass., January 20, 1937.

Report of the Board of Health
To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :
The Board of Health respectfully sumbits its report and the reports of its appointive agents for the year ending December 31, 1936.
The disease, diphtheria, attacks children more frequently between the ages of 6 months and 6 years than at any other age. If all children of pre-school age were immunized against this disease, it could be completely eradicated from our community. To this end, this year, our efforts were directed to notifying every parent in this town about the immunization clinic. Printed cards were mailed to every home in which there was a known child of pre-school age, notifying parents of the clinic to be held, and request- ing them to immunize their children. Co-operation by the parents resulted in 351 children being immunized.
A successful immunization serum has never been perfected against many of the diseases which attack mankind, but as diphtheria has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt as being a disease that can be prevented through the use of toxin-anti-toxin, all parents should avail themselves of this great pre- ventive measure for their children.
