VETERANS COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of Scituate:
As Director of Veterans' Services, we submit herewith our Annual Report for the year 1952.
Service has been rendered in 1860 cases, covering every phase of the Veterans' Benefits laws, from application for Mustering- Out Pay to Hospitalization and even to Death and Burial obli- gations.
This past year has forcefully reminded us of a new duty, that to the forgotten heroes of the Korean conflict. It is sincerely hoped that before too long they may be entitled to every benefit which veterans of previous wars have received.
My earnest thanks are extended to your Board for your help, that has enabled us to serve the veterans of our community and my especial appreciation to our Police Department for their coopera- tion in transporting veterans to and from hospitals.
Respectfully submitted, JEROME F. CROWLEY, Veterans' Service Officer.

REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
January 22, 1953
To the Board of Selectmen:
Subject: Annual Report.
The funds appropriated in 1952 were used to complete the installation and further equipping of Radio communication units in the Fire and Police Departments.
Plans are being laid for a Medical Program in 1953 which would provide free Blood Typing for all residents in the town.
These and all other measures under study by the Civil Defense Department not only provide a safe measure during a time of emergency but are benefits to the community as a whole.

PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
(Plymouth County Extension Service)
The Extension Service is an educational organization, recog- nized, officially, as County Aid to Agriculture. The Plymouth County office in Brockton supplies information on farming, home- making and 4-H Club work. It is a co-operative institution sup- ported mainly by County appropriation, with additional funds furnished from Federal sources.
The University of Massachusetts is the headquarters of the Massachusetts Extension Service.
Assistance of Extension Specialists is provided to the County offices in developing programs and teaching subject matter. The Extension Service supplies helpful information to farmers and homemakers in an effort to help people help themselves. It also en- courages individuals and groups to take advantage of opportun- ities in the Community.
An Extension worker strives to give information, training or advice that will help people in their daily lives. Through the ap- plication of this knowledge, Massachusetts farmers can maintain a prosperous industry: their children grow up to be responsible citizens; and their rural homes and communities will be pleasant places in which to live.
The Extension Service is under the direction of a Board of nine Trustees appointed by the County Commissioners to repre- sent the various agricultural, homemaking and 4-H Club interest of the County.
The people of Scituate have been offered this service in the best manner possible to meet the demands of group and individuals.
During the past year, 201 radio talks and 46 television pro- grams were presented; also it might be of interest to note that 4,708 demonstration meetings were held, 20,277 bulletins distributed and 84,415 circular letters mailed.
The Extension Service is appreciative of the moral and financial support given by the towns and by the people who know its value as an influence in adult education.
RUTH M. MEYERS, Town Director, County Aid to Agriculture.

REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT
May 9, 1952
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Robert H. Tilden, Chairman,
Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Scituate for the year ending December 31, 1951, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, Gen- eral Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.

Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Scituate for the year ending December 31, 1951, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked with the books and reports in the town accountant's office and with the records of the town treasurer.
An analysis was made of the accountant's ledger, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treas- urer's records of payments. The appropriation accounts and loan
135
STATE AUDIT REPORT
authorizations were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by comparison with authorizations by the advis- ory committee on file.
The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31,1951.
The books and accounts of the treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the select- men's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.
The cash book additions were verified and the cash balance on January 26, 1952, was proved by actual count of cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur- nished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the trans- fers to the town were verified by comparison with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The transfers to the tax title account were verified by comparison with the collector's records, the re- demptions were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the outstanding tax titles and tax possessions were listed and proved with controlling accounts in the general ledger. Trans- actions were further verified by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abate- ments were checked with the assessors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the controlling accounts in the general ledger.
136
STATE AUDIT REPORT
The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked .. The commitments were proved, the collections were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abatements were checked with the records of the departments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the controlling accounts in the general ledger.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was obtained by mail- ing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of the town clerk were examined for dog, sporting and miscellaneous licenses issued. The payments to the town were verified by comparison with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified by comparison with receipts on file.
The surety bonds of the town officials required to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, of the boards of selectmen and health, and of the building inspector, as well as of the police and all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treas- urer's recorded receipts.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and collec- tor's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and in- vestment funds.
During the progress of the audit cooperation was received from the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
