MAINTENANCE
The entrance hall of the Main Library and the walls of the East Weymouth Branch were freshly painted in 1944. A little additional shelving at each of the branches and the refinishing of tables and desks have made both branches more attractive. A new section has been added to the card catalog at the Main Library.
PERSONNEL
Four resignations during the year have handicapped the work of the library. Miss Charlotte Macleod resigned from the staff of the Main Library and three part-time High School girls, who were employed as helpers in the branches.
Miss Harriette L. Sewell was hired to succeed Miss Macleod and has divided her time between the Main Library and the North Weymouth Branch. Mrs. Ruth Loeffler Schill, who has been on leave of absence for service in the WAVES, returned to the library November first.
Five staff members have taken professional courses of college grade during 1944.
LIBRARY HOURS
One change has been made during the year in the schedule of library hours. In response to popular demand the East Weymouth Branch is being opened this winter on Wednesdays instead of Saturdays. If this proves
115
to give the public more satisfactory service it will be continued.
Library hours for all departments are given under the heading INFORMATION on an introductory page of this report.
GIFTS
The trustees wish to take, this opportunity to express their thanks for gifts of books and loans of exhibits to the library. These are listed at the close of this report.
They also appreciate gifts of flowers in their season. Flowers are enjoyed by both the staff and the borrowers.
STATISTICS
Full statistics for 1944 are listed in the appendices of this report.
WAR WORK
The Tufts Library has cooperated during 1944 with the Red Cross and Community Chest Drives. It took an active part in the Bond Selling Campaign of the Sixth War Loan. It has served as a recruiting station for both the WAACS and the WAVES. Two staff members are serving as nurses' aides and one has given volunteer help in the library at the Air Base. The librarian gave instruction in hospital library operation to the Gray Ladies organized under the Red Cross. A service- men's scrap book is maintained at the Main Library and grows in interest and value.
The Tufts Library stands ready to cooperate in Weymouth's com- munity effort in 1945.
THE NAZIS BURNED BOOKS. WHY?
In Stephen Vincent Benet's poem a Nazi speaks: . . . We can destroy Houses with bombs and people with starvation
Outflank defensive lines and tramp ahead. We can destroy the spirit of a nation With poison doubts and fears
Erase its history, blot out its past. But while there is a single man alive Hidden or starving, who somehow remembers . The undying words That spake for man's free mind, Though they were said a thousand years ago, Our conquest is not perfect.
That's why we burn the books, That's why we burn all knowledge, all the recollected thought Gathered in patience through three thousand years of civilization."
Today we fight for what the Nazis would destroy. They burned the books. We can use them, as tools, to help us build a new life, a better civilization.
*"WHATEVER MAN HAS ACCOMPLISHED OR HOPES TO AC- COMPLISH IS YOURS-IN BOOKS."
BOOKS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Respectfully submitted, Clarance P. Whittle, President By order and on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library.
*Quotations from Malcolm Johnson, President Book Publishers' Bureau, Inc.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the Weymouth Board of Water Commisioners:
During the past year the Water Department has continued the program of reinforcing mains as recommended by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association. The War Production Board approved construction on Pleasant, Washington, Commercial, and East Streets.
The gravel walled well and pumping station have been completed at Circuit Ave., except for final adjustments of chemical feed and pump.
The North Weymouth Standpipe has been equipped with the Electro Rust-Proofing system for protection against corrosion.
A survey for leaks in the distribution system was started the past season, and should continue during the coming year.
Mr. Loud, our chemist and bacteriologist, was commissioned in the Army early in the year. The engineering firm of Weston and Sampson was retained to make the necessary laboratory tests of our treatment plant.
Mr. Meyers, who has been with the Department for 34 years, retired in October.
The program of reinforcement of mains and the construction of a new standpipe should proceed in 1945 as recommended by the report of our engineers, Weston and Sampson.
Your Superintendent wishes to express his appreciation for the coop- eration of the Board of Water Commissioners, as well as the Fire, Police, Street, and other Departments of the Town.
The following tabulations will summarize some of the activities of the Department during 1944.
Respectfully submitted,
Sydney C. Beane, Superintendent
