We have been serviced by the Bookmobile out of Greenfield, which stops at our Library about once in six weeks, and the Librarian is privileged to select approxi- mately 75 books at those times, some adult fiction, some non-fiction, and a great many childrens' books which are greatly enjoyed by our young readers and eagerly awaited.


The interior of the Library was completely redecora- ted during 1952, and this year the floor was sanded and refinished, the work being done by Richard and Rollo Purrington. This adds greatly to the appearance of the room. An oil burner for the furnace would correct the present heating difficulties and make the Library pleas- anter for its patrons as well as for the Librarian.


The account of expenditures will be found in the Accountant's report.

Board of Health


Report of Board of Health


The Board of Health submits the following report for the period from January 1, 1953 to December 31, 1953.


A Well Child Clinic in Williamsburg and Haydenville was held in each village school.


The Board has operated the Garbage Collection on a fee basis, as voted in the last annual Town Meeting. It is now recommended that it be put back on the old sys- tem. The Board feels the cost per contract for each in- dividual would be to great due to the State Garbage cook- ing laws.


The Board has given out a large number of septic tank permits and hopes that the residents of our Town will continue to change to Septic Tanks and dry wells.


The Board has maintained careful inspections of our animals and slaughters, with the able work of our inspec- tors.


The eating and drinking establishments in the town were inspected four times during the last year by mem- bers of the Board of Health and the State Sanitary Dis- trict Office.


The Board has eliminated a few of the private dumps and hopes that in the near future we will be able to do away with more of them.


57


Board of Health


The Board has closed the Chesterfield Road Dump this year for many reasons. The Dump would not last but another year, due to the fact that we were already dumping into the river, and filling the culvert under the road.


The Board has inserted an article in this years war- rant concerning our Mountain Street Dump, and hopes that the people will cooperate in helping the board to take care of the situation.


The Board has spent a considerable amount of time on our dump situation, and has many more problems to be solved before our dumps can be operated at a minimum cost. A major problem is the people from out of town using our dumps.


The Board of Health reminds the community that all matters likely to cause disease and infection are of in- dividual concern and public interest. Everyone has a stake in cleanliness and sanitation. It is good sense to meet standards and to ask for their enforcement.

School Building Committee


Report of the School Building Committee


At a special Town Meeting held on the evening of October 27, 1953 the town voted to raise an appropria- tion, the sum of $360,000 to build a six room elementary school with a large gym and cafeteria.


On the evening of December 10, 1953 this Committee was given the power to build this school. This meeting also voted to name this school the Anne T. Dunphy School. At this same meeting it was voted to take the necessary land to place the school behind the Town Hall.


Three members of the Building Committee, the chairman of the Board of Selectmen Mr. Outhuse, and the Superintendent of Schools Mr. Merritt met with Mr. John Marshall in Boston on January 28, 1954. During this meeting Mr. Marshall approved the plans and stated that we should ask for bids as soon as possible. When the building is constructed to these plans, Williamsburg will be eligible for a state construction grant of $178,000.


At 2:00 p. m. on the same day this group met with Mr. Dine and the Emergency Finance Board. After this meeting they assured us that our request for borrowing outside the town limit would be granted.


During the month of February, Mr. Paul B. Johnson the architect will have the plans and specifications ready for the contractors to bid on. The Committee hopes to have this project started during the month of April.

Civil Defense


Civil Defense


Dr. John F. Winnie has volunteered to have the boy scouts help in Civil Defense when they are needed.


It is the opinion of the C. D. Director that the Town of Williamsburg thinks that all the State wants us to do is to organize for protection against bombing. Our in- dustries aren't that important. Our main responsibility is to prepare to take care of the homeless and injured.


When the Town first appointed a Civil Defense Di- rector, the Grange offered their Hall as an evacuation center so your Director is declaring both the Town and the Grange Hall evacuation Centers.


After talking with Dr. Hobbs concerning the usage of the Grange Hall as an emergency hospital to help re- lax the load of work that the Cooley Dickinson Hospital would have during wartime, it was decided that the Grange Hall would be appropriate for the job. Dr. Hobbs is willing to help along with these duties.


Your Director has talked to two of the local nurses concerning being supervisor and assistant supervisor of nurses and gave them some material concerning the or- ganization of the program. They haven't, as yet, com- mitted themselves as to their willingness to recruit, train and organize personnel for the Hospital branch of the evacuation center. If they do decide to help in this capacity, your Director hopes the Town will give them good response as they will need personnel to train to be nurse's aides, attendants and the like.


Respectively submitted,


DAVID F. ROSS, Civil Defense Director.

Report of School Committee


-


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :


Greetings :


Herewith is submitted our report for the year end- ing December 31, 1953.


This report supplements other school reports which we urge you to read and study.


Our School Union represented by the Towns of Worthington, Chesterfield and Williamsburg voted to in- vite the Towns of Westhampton and Southampton to join us thus forming a five (5) town union which we feel is sound economically and educationally. This action was approved by the State Board of Education and we look forward to our first annual meeting for the review of the accomplishments of the year and the methods of opera- ting the various school systems.


Your Committee has come to the end of its first year as a five-member board necessitated by the acute and intricate problems which face the people of this era as evidenced by our attendance at twenty-nine (29) regular and special meetings. Mr. Robert C. Soderberg and Mr. Kenneth W. Sherk were elected to enlarge the Committee. Mr. Soderberg purchased a home closer to his employment and by virtue of leaving town a vacancy was created in the Committee.


Your Committee, pursuant to the General Laws, met with the Board of Selectmen to fill this vacancy and Mrs.


74


School Committee


Ruth B. Emrick was elected as a member of the School Committee until the next annual Town Meeting.


During the summer Mrs. Emrick was taken ill and has been able to meet with the Committee but twice since the schools opened this fall. It is most unfortunate for her and for the Town that she fell ill as her keen interest contributed to our maintaining a constructive and sound system.


Due to requests for more classroom space, we parti- tioned the auditorium of the Helen E. James School building making two new rooms. This action was sanc- tioned by the vote of the Town and by Mr. James J. Lane, State Building Inspector. We are fortunate that the Department of Public Safety allows such latitude and enters such a welcome spirit of cooperation which allows us to use so completely the whole of our building. A letter from Mr. Lane concerning the school building was received as follows :


1. Please be advised that room in the basement providing for use as classrooms will not be certified.


2. Your attention is respectfully called to the two rooms in the basement used as classrooms. These rooms were certified a number of years ago with the understand- ing that it would be temporary and provisions would be made for those additional pupils. It is my opinion that a reasonable time has elapsed for this provision.


Signed * State Building Inspector, James J. Lane.


We are gratefully indebted to the Five-Man Reha- bilitation Fund Committee under the Chairmanship of Mr. William B. Culver. They have been most under- standing of the needs of the schools in Williamsburg and Haydenville and without them and their resources we would have had to appear before the Town in a special


75


School Committee


meeting for funds to carry out our 'emergency endeav- ors'; new classrooms and fixtures, furniture, repairs and new equipment.


We wish to publicly thank our Superintendent, Mr. L. A. Merritt for his patient understanding and timely guidance; and to the Faculty, whose conscientious and diligent work, and patience under crowded conditions cause a reflection of success to honor our school system; and to the janitors for their splendid cooperation and foresight in the maintenance of the buildings and grounds in a very economical manner.


The success of the work of the School Committee in promoting and furthering a well-rounded educational system in Haydenville and Williamsburg schools is due first hand to the cooperation and support of you, the citizens, of the respective communities and you are to be commended for your interest.


STUDY THE REPORTS OF THE SCHOOL DE- PARTMENT. LOOK WELL TO THE FUTURE.

WARREN E. MCAVOY, Chairman
