ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF TURNER FREE LIBRARY


To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :


I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Librarian for the year ending December 31, 1944.


The Library has been open to the public each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:30 P. M., and every week-day evening from 7:00 to 9:00 P. M. with the exception of holidays and afternoon sessions dur- ing July and August.


The circulation shows an increase over last year.


Total for 1943 13,781


Total for 1944. 14,466


Fiction for 1943


9,797


Fiction for 1944 9,409


Juvenile for 1943


1,814


Juvenile for 1944 2,407


General for 1943


2,170


General for 1944 2,650


Books added during the year were 321 making the accession number 36,257. Of this number 255 books were purchased and 66 were gifts. Among the gifts were a set of Balzac's works, some of Dickens, Kipling, Emerson, and books of poetry, fiction, and a series of boys' books. We greatly appreciate the gifts and I am sure they will be used to advantage by the public.


Magazines loaned, 621 against 399 for 1943. Borrow- ers' cards issued 416, new applicants 267, renewals 149.


In June Miss Jean Lynch joined our staff to help in our Children's Corner. Miss Dow has charge of the evening sessions, and Miss Lynch the afternoon. The first Children's Story Hour was held July 15th, with Miss Alice Haley in charge. Miss Marion Madan had charge of the next two sessions, on July 22d and July 29th. Interesting stories were told, and songs and games played.


122


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


On August 5th Mrs. Isabel Randall told the story of "Alice Thru the Looking Glass," which was illustrated with colored slides. Miss Haley told the stories on August 12th, 19th, and 26th. At the last Story Hour, stories were told about children and customs of many lands, which proved of great interest to the children. All the stories told or read were from books which we have in our Children's Corner. Practically all the children attending borrowed these books. The average attendance was 16 with which we were much pleased. We hope to continue the Children's Hour next year and to increase the attendance.


The reference room has been used to good advantage by the public during the year. There seems to be a growing interest among the young people regarding the history of Randolph, and in their genealogy.


Our Alden Collection of books and manuscripts on genealogy, beside our bound newspapers, are proving a great help concerning these subjects.


I greatly appreciate the services of the Boy Scouts in helping us with the Waste Paper Drive, and moving the books and magazines for the Servicemen from the Library to the entrance below. Books and magazines are still needed by the Merchant Marine, who send them to the Army and Navy.


We wish to thank all who have so kindly contributed to this cause.


The Librarian takes this opportunity to thank Miss Massie, Miss Dow, and Miss Lynch, for their faithful serv- ice and the Trustees for their advice and cooperation.


Respectfully submitted,


EUNICE B. MARTIN, Librarian

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Board of Health


To the Citizens of the Town of Randolph :


The Board of Health respectfully submits its report and the report of its respective agents for the year ending December 31, 1944.


During the year the Board of Health have inspected all places where food and other goods were sold and found most of them clean and safe for the sale of such goods.


The Board would like to thank our School Physician, Dr. Higgins and our School Nurse, Miss Helen Conlon for the way our Diptheria Clinic was conducted. We also would like to thank our district nurses, Miss Scannell and Mrs. Health for their co-operation the many times during the year we called on them.


The Dental Clinic was conducted by Dr. Smith and Dr. Maguire, assisted by our School Nurse, Miss Helen Conlon. Examinations were made in the various schools, and a re- port sent to the parents of children needing attention.


We also would like to thank our Garbage Collector, Mr. Louis Kmito for the manner in which he responded to every call from the Board. As you know this was our first year and it was new to the citizens of the town. Many were without proper garbage containers and we hope that any homes not having these containers will get them as soon as possible. The Board feels that this was money well spent.


The Board wishes to call attention to the number of Scarlet Fever Cases this past year. Most of these cases were Scarletina and were very mild, but we feel that in some cases parents did not even have a doctor for the chil-


126


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


dren and the result was the Board did not know it until the child was sent to the School Physician to return to school and he would send them back home. We ask the parents of children that contract this disease to co-operate with your Board of Health as we have had to order children to stay in their yard while the sign is on the door which is to remain there for 21 days from date of posting.


In closing, the Board would like to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen and all the other town officials for the assistance and courtesy given this Board during the past year.


Communicable diseases for the year 1944 were as fol- lows :


Chicken pox 7, Scarlet Fever 46, Mumps 4, Whooping Cough 5, Dog Bites 12, Measles 7, Pulmonary Tuberculosis 10, Tuberculosis (all others) 2, Meningitis 1, Lobar Pneu- monia 1.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH ANNUAL REPORT RULES AND REGULATIONS


The following regulations, until further notice, shall be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water :


1. All applications for use of water must be made at the office of the Water Commissioners, and state fully the purposes for which it is intended to be used. Water will not be introduced to premises except on the written appli- cation of the owner thereof, or by a duly authorized agent. The property will in all cases be held responsible for the water rates.


2. All persons taking water must keep their water pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from the frost at their own expense. They will be held liable for all damages resulting from their failure to do so. They shall prevent all unnecessary waste, and water shall not be left running to prevent freezing. The Water Commissioners or their agents may, from time to time, ascertain the quantity of water used, the manner of its use, and whether there is unnecessary waste. They and their agents shall have free access to the premises supplied, to examine the apparatus, and if any fixtures are found not to be in good order, they shall direct them repaired, and if not repaired within two days the water shall be shut off and not let on again until such repairs are made, and the sum of two dollars paid for shutting off and turning on the water.


3. The occupant of any premises, when unnecessary waste of water occurs, shall be liable to a fine of two dollars for the first offense, and four dollars for the second offense during the same year, and shall be notified thereof in writ- ing; and if such waste is not prevented and the aforesaid fines paid within two days from the time when the said notice is given, the water shall be shut off the premises, and shall not be again let on for the same occupant until

4. Any person supplied with water shall not allow another to take water from his fixtures without the written permission of the Water Commissioners. If a tenant has no fixtures, he will be charged full rates for any use which he makes of the fixtures of another.


5. All parties using water and stables, for horses or other animals, will be charged scheduled rates for the same, whether it be carried by hand or through hose.


6. All persons using water for building purposes are required to obtain a permit from the Water Commis- sioners before taking water from any faucet or fixtures con- nected with the water works, and all water takers are warned not to let any party take water from their premises until they show a permit from the Water Commissioners. Any person furnishing water in violation of this section will be subject to a fine of not less than five nor more than twenty dollars, and if the same when levied is not paid within three days from the time when the notice thereof is given the water will be shut off from the premises and will not be let on again until such fine is paid.


7. All fixtures and water closets and urinals must be of a kind and quality approved by the Water Commis- sioners, also a vacuum valve must be installed on all pres- sure range boilers connected with the system.
