ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the President and Board of Trustees, Middleborough Public Library:
The year 1949 was a memorable one in the history of the Middle- borough Public Library since this year marked three-quarters of a century of service. Celebration of this seventy-fifth anniversary was observed from November nineteenth through the twenty-second. As National Book Week occurred during the same period, the two observ- ances were held simultaneously.
Every day during Book Week story hours were held for the elemen- tary grades, nearly one thousand children enjoying the programs. Attendance was by classes, in groups of twenty-five to one hundred and fifty. Because it was the library's birthday, gifts were in order and each child received a souvenir to take home. Miss Veazie and Miss Bassett of the library staff told the stories. At these story hours prizes were awarded to winners of the Yacht Race Reading Contest held during the summer.
On Monday and Tuesday following Book Week, Open House was held at the library afternoon and evening with programs each eve- ning. Mr. Theodore N. Wood, President of the Board of Trustees wel- comed the guests, incorporating in his remarks a brief history of the library including the organization in 1874, ancedotes of the first trustees and mention of librarians who held office during early years of the li- brary's existence. Mr. Wood spoke of bequests which have helped make the Middleborough Public Library one of the outstanding li- braries of the State, first the gift from Mr. Enoch W. Pratt, then the bequest of Mr. Thomas S. Peirce which made possible the present beau- tiful building and a generous sum for Books and periodicals, and more recently the Mary Hullahan Fund for children's books.
The librarian continued the history under the topic, "Our Library Today," relating the many ways in which the library has expanded its services during the past seventy-five years and that the library has grown from a collection of a few hundred to over fifty thousand vol- umes and from an annual circulation of hundreds to one of many thousands.
At the close of the program an ovation was given to former li- brarians Miss Alice M. Alden, Miss Mary M. Eddy, Mrs. Lucile P. Cav- ender as well as Miss Florence A. Robinson, a former member of the staff for many years, and flowers were presented to them. Of the six librarians who have served in that capacity since the library was open- ed to the public in 1875, four were present.
The trustees of the library were hosts for the refreshment hour which followed the programs. On Tuesday evening librarians of sur- rounding towns, town officials, teachers and members of the school department were special guests.
During the entire celebration there were special exhibits of paintings by local artists, Mrs. John Coppock, Robert Schofield and George DeBoer. Beside a table displaying photographs of the library and the staff in past years, and books acquired from local libraries in existence before the organization of the public library stood a figure

ANNUAL REPORT
dressed in costume of seventy-five years ago. On the main floor of the library were exhibits of new books centered around a birthday cake appropriate to the celebration of the library's seventy-fifth birthday.
Activities Within the Library
It is pleasing to note that again circulation of books shows an in- crease of 4000 volumes over last year's figures.
A "Teen-Age Corner" has been arranged for those young people who have outgrown or consider they have read most of the books in the young people's department but are not quite ready for all the adult books. In this "Teen-Age Corner" is a selection of books from the adult department suitable for young adults, books of adventure, romance and interesting non-fiction. This innovation has proved to be most popular with intermediate borrowers.
In the Spring an exhibition was held of water colors depicting scenes in Rockport painted by Robert Schofield, a local artist. Later in the year an exhibit was placed in the Young People's Room of Noah's Ark with clay animals made by pupils of Miss Natalie Burnett.
On November second the Literature Committee of the Brockton Woman's Club paid a visit to the library, making a tour of all depart- ments. Gathered in the Lecture Room, the members listened to a brief talk on the history of the library by the librarian.
On the following day a newly formed group, "Round Table of Li- brarians for Young Adults" held a meeting in the Lecture Room with Miss Veazie of the staff, a member of the Executive Committee of the group, serving as hostess.
For the twenty-seventh consecutive year the course of five weekly lessons in "How to Use the Library" was given to the eighth grade of the Junior High School. School officials and library staff are unanimous in pronouncing these lessons a definite and mutual benefit. The schools continue their enthusiastic response to certificate reading, every grade above the third in all schools participating. The past year 518 small certificates for reading five books were awarded and 61 hon- or certificates for twenty books read. Book service to in-town class- rooms and to rural schools continues, a story hour by the librarian often interrupting school lessons when books are delivered.
Extra Curricular Activities
In January the library and the local woman's club, the Cabot Club, collaborated in presenting a Book Fair. The Club provided the place and publicity posters, the library arranged for the exhibit of books with book reviews by the librarian.
Books are carried at regular intervals to the Hannah Shaw Home, Montgomery Home and every Thursday morning to the hospital.
The librarian has given book reviews before service clubs, church groups, young people's groups, Parent-Teachers Associations and wo- men's organizations. She is serving as a member of the Program Com- mittee of the Massachusetts Library Association, representing the Old Colony Library Club on this committee.

With Thanks
Heirs to the estate of Miss Alice R. Wyckoff gave the librarian the privilege of choosing from Miss Wyckoff's books any that could be used in the library. Some hundred volumes were thus acquired. Mr. Sumner H. Hinds has given the library several books and many original poems. Mrs. Anne H. Kelly of Lakeville presented a copy of an anthology which contains poems written by Mrs. Kelly. Mr. and Mrs. Chester L. Shaw gave a booklet on "Beavers" written by their son Samuel Shaw. The following have contributed books and magazines:
Natalie Burnett
Mrs. Rufus H. Richmond Mrs. Arthur Rubin
William Carnello
Mrs. F. G. Chandler
Mrs. Ralph Sampson
Mrs. Raymond J. Cosseboom
Richard Thayer
Mrs. Alveretta C. Gay
Mrs. Harmon P. Ward

Mrs. Esther M. Hawthorne
Middleborough Cooperative Bank Nemasket Grange
We are especially grateful to Mrs. Maude B. Skillings, Miss Nellie M. Bennett, Mrs. William H. Crapo and other members of the Garden Club who supplied the library with bouquets of flowers during the summer.
To Chief Charles H. Rogers and his aides on the police force we express appreciation for their cooperation in helping to recover books which failed to be returned after many notices were sent the borrowers.
The librarian expresses her thanks to the trustees for their gen- erous counsel and guidance, to the staff for their loyalty and coopera- tion and to members of the community for their interest and apprecia- tion of efforts to serve them.
Respectfully submitted,
MERTIE E. WITBECK,
Librarian.

Gentlemen:
Again it offers me unlimited pleasure to submit my eighth annual report of activities, functions and management of the Playground De- partment. This past season has been one of great accomplishment and, therefore, a revealing account depicting these achievements should and must be forthcoming in such a retrospective picture.
I have submitted my report on a divisional basis. That is, an overall report entailing the following divisions of my department: Aquatics, Adult Activities, Boys' Activities, Girls' Activities, Mainten- ance, and Administration and Finance.
The entire report has been submitted, in toto, to the previously mentioned boards and to the officers of the Town Clerk and Town Manager. These may be obtained upon request by an interested citizen at the above mentioned offices. However, the vehicle of economy prevents insertion of such a report in this issue of the 1949 Town Report.
None-the-less, I would like to include some of the outstanding physical improvements of the playground plant. They are as follows:
1. Creation and equiping a fenced-in area known as the Kid- dies Corner.
2. Painting of the Swimming Pool.

2. Twelve teams, 218 boys playing 104 games in three leagues.

REPORT OF HOUSING AUTHORITY
Twenty-eight families of Middleboro Veterans received a long awaited Christmas present when they took up occupancy, on December 15, 1949, in the newly constructed apartments situated off Mayflower
99
ANNUAL REPORT
Avenue on the site which is now known as Thomas C. Archer Court. The occupancy of these dwelling units was the culmination of an effort to provide adequate housing for veterans of low income, which was commenced at the Annual Town Meeting of 1948 and resulted in the appointment of a committee by the Moderator to study Veterans' housing needs in Middleboro. Following the report of this committee at a special Town Meeting held in the summer of 1948, the Town voted that Middleboro had need of Veterans' housing accommodations and as a result, the Middleborough Housing Authority was established.
The Middleborough Housing Project consists of fourteen apart- ments of two bedrooms, a living room and kitchen and fourteen apart- ments of three bedrooms, a living room and kitchen. Each apartment is equipped with modern electric ranges and refrigerators, together with the most up-to-date facilities available in modern design.
The construction of this project was commenced in June of 1949 in accordance with the plans and specifications of Kennedy and Smith, Architects, of Boston and under the direct supervision of Gordon Mac- Neill, C. E. of Lakeville and the buildings were built by the Hayes & Watkins Construction Company of Brockton. On December 15, 1949, the development work of this project was substantially completed leaving only for further completion such landscape work as this season of the year would not permit and which of necessity must await a warmer season.
On Sunday, December 11, 1949, well over one thousand citizens of Middleboro, dispite a stormy day, availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to inspect these twenty-eight dwelling units. In addition to the local citizens, there were many architects and members of housing authorities in other sections of the Commonwealth who viewed the premises. The wide spread approval which was accorded to this Proj- ect has been a source of great satisfaction to members of the Middle- borough Housing Authority and we feel that the Town of Middle- borough may well take pride in the effort that has been expended for the benefit of deserving Veterans.
In conclusion the Middleborough Housing Authority wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for the co-operation which has been extended during the process of construction by the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager Macdonald, Superintendent Dyke of the Middleborough Gas & Electric Department, to single out but a few of those persons without whose assistance this work would have been decidedly more difficult.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICE DEPARTMENT
During the past year, the administration of Veterans' Benefits has been combined to include three Towns: Middleboro, Lakeville, and Carver; each Town paying their proportionate part of the expenses. Veterans' Benefits is met by the State and Towns on equal basis with each paying one-half of all Veterans' Benefits cases. There has been an increase during the past year in the amount paid by the State and Towns in the allowance on hospital cases. The load in this office has increased over last year on account of the labor situation. Office records and Veterans' Benefits cases are checked and inspected regu- larly by State inspectors from the Commissioner's office.
The following is a list of cases which has been completed by this office for the year 1949.
