TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
The trustees of The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library herewith submit the eighty-ninth annual report for the year 1944.
The year 1944, now closing, has marked the tercentenary of the Town cf Wakefield. The history of the town which has been published in connection with the Tercentenary observance shows clearly the close association from the earliest days between the life of the town and the life of the library.
In accordance with this tradition, throughout the Tercentenary observ- ance the Library cooperated in every way possible with the Committee making the arrangements. Long before the busy days of May 28-31, Miss Carleton and her staff collected all sorts of local data. Displays cf histories of Wakefield, documents, maps, war records, genealogical material, and descriptive material such as geological and soil surveys were arranged. A collection of books and pamphlets written by Wake- field men and women was especially worthwhile.
The care with which the displays were gathered and arranged had much to do with their effectiveness and to Miss Carleton, who served on the general Committee as well as on the two sub-committees, and to her staff who worked so tirelessly in assembling material for the displays, much credit is due.
The Children's Room had a unique part in the observance too. Designs for a greeting to be sent to Wakefield men and women in the armed forces were submitted by pupils of the seventh and eighth grades, under the direction of Mrs. Hope McCloskey Dillaway. From these de- signs, six were chosen to be mimeographed with the program of the Tercentenary observance May 28-31, and were sent as a greeting from the Tercentenary Committee and The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library.
The following young people submitted the designs chosen: Claire Griffin, H. M. Warren School, Paul Revere Bell; Jean Mauriello, Franklin School, Paul Revere on Horseback; Barbara Roach, St. Joseph's School, Colonial Lady; Doris Perillo, Franklin School, Indian with Bow and Arrow; Margaret Plummer, Lincoln School, Indian Chief with Head Dress; Sophie Tavano, Lincoln School, Minute Man.
When the greetings were ready, Girl Scouts folded and put them in envelopes and High School girls addressed them. The Boy Scouts brought the tables from the Y.M.C.A. at which the girls worked. The eagerness and willingness of all the boys and girls who had a part in this project was very genuine.
The Greenwood Branch which is so well patronized continues to hold an important place in the community. The rooms always have a home- like and hospitable atmosphere. The growing plants, the posters, the especial exhibits, all contribute to make the Greenwood Branch a pleasant place to linger while talking over a book recently read or the choice of the next to be borrowed.
In October it was found that the room at the Montrose School would be needed for school purposes. Until such a time as new quarters can be found, the Library, through the courtesy of the School Committee, is
123
REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
sharing the room with the sixth grade. This necessitates a curtailment of Library hours and service but it seems to be the best arrangement that can be made for the present.
Few years go by without changes in the staff personnel but the year 1944 has brought special problems. In August Miss Constance Howe resigned to attend the University of Maine and later in the year Miss Ruth Ohler, Children's Librarian, resigned to accept a position in the Providence Library at an increased salary. The position of Children's Librarian is still vacant. Miss Yolanda Roberto, a recent graduate of the Training Class of City Library of Springfield, Massachusetts, is now a full time member of the staff.
It has been necessary under the circumstances to carry on with a depleted staff. This is especially regrettable in the work with the boys and girls, for it is in the early years that habits of reading should be formed, habits which should continue to give pleasure and profit through- out life. Just giving out books is not enough, the Children's Librarian should be a friend, keen to know their needs and to stimulate their in- terests.
Two facts are evident again and again as applicants are interviewed; the need to be able to offer salaries commensurate with the work, and the need to be able to offer some hope of advancement in subsequent years. The Library hold a vital place in the community and should be ready to serve the public adequately and efficiently. Such service can- not be given with a constantly changing staff. Under these conditions the Trustees are this year asking for an increased salary appropriation, believing that it can no longer be avoided.
The Lucius Beebe Memorial Library has always been fortunate in its friends. Many gifts have come to the Library during the year as can be seen from the lists of donors appended to this report. Among these gifts one which was especially appreciated was that of a book given by Mr. Edward G. Wenzel of Milwaukee in memory of Lt. Harold N. Goodspeed, Jr. who was killed in action in Italy on May 24, 1944. Mr. Cyrus M. Dolbeare and Mr. Gardner E. Campbell have given much space to the library news in the Wakefild Daily Item. Mrs. Albert W. Rockwood gave the decorations of Christmas greens which were so much appreciated by the library patrons.
Another gift which should be mentioned was made by Mr. Forrest Carter who in the early summer planned and carried out so generously the new plantings of shrubbery on the Library grounds. To all these and to the other friends who have remembered the Library with gifts and to many others who have expressed appreciation of the services of the Library and its staff, the Trustees extends their sincere thanks.
The circulation for the year is 165,523, a slight increase over last year. In addition over 5,000 pictures have been borrowed by clubs, schools and individuals. Some 921 new borrowers have been registered. There has been a gain in the school circulation and in that of the Children's Room. An analysis of the books borrowed shows an increase in the circulation of
124
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
books of a more serious nature and much less interest in the works of fiction. Books of history, travel, biography, fine arts and science have been much in demand. These are all encouraging developments.
The Library at present contains some 70,158 books and pamphlets, subscribes to 180 magazines and has a picture collection of mounted pic- tures of over 18,000.

REPORT OF PARK AND CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
Report of Park and Cemetery Commissioners
To the Citizens of the Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts:
The Park and Cemetery Commissioners submit their report for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1944.
Despite the difficulties caused by the world conditions due to the war, the routine work of the two departments have been carried on, but not without some difficulty as to man power, that is, in keeping the park system and Forest Glade Cemetery in a good condition that the Town might continue to have the best Park System and as pleasant a Cemetery as any town in the State of the same size.
To get men to carry on the work as it should be done the Commis- sioners are asking in the 1945 budget a larger appropriation that the wages of their employees may be such as to attract men to do the work of the departments, also that the Superintendent of the Parks be placed upon a yearly basis as it has been found that there is plenty of work to keep the Superintendent employed the entire year.
Partly on account of having a truck to transport the men and machines to and from the several plots, playgrounds and other sections of the Park System, it has helped immeasurably in keeping all parts of the system in good condition, including the large plot at the junction of Pros- pect and Hopkins Streets.
The Moulton and Nassala Playgrounds which were left unfinished by the W.P.A. should be finished in the near future; at the Moulton Play- ground it is proposed this coming season to level off the unfinished portion of the grounds and bank it so that in winter it may be flooded so as to provide a place for skating. An additional appropriation is asked for in the 1945 budget for this purpose, and to keep this playground and part of Lake Quannapowitt clear of snow.
As in previous years since the Town has maintained an emergency boat at Lake Quannapowitt, vandals and other irresponsible persons have so mistreated the outboard motor in the boat, as it is moored at the wharf, that it has not been possible to be sure, in case of emergency, that the motor would function. As an experiment in 1944, the boat was manned from one to ten P.M. every day for several weeks, but even with this pre- caution, vandals got in their work. To prevent this vandalism as far as possible, an appropriation is asked for in the 1945 budget of this depart- ment in order to have a boat-house built for the housing of the emer- gency boat at all times.
The Bath house proved as popular as usual the past season, and in justice to the employees who were very faithful for a very small wage, the
130
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Commissioners are asking in the 1945 budget, for a larger appropriation, that the employees of the bath house may be paid a better wage, thereby it is hoped to be able to hold them for another season. The amount of $244.65 was collected from non-residents in 1944 for their use of the bath house facilities.
The report of the bath house supervisor appears under another heading.
The income from Forest Glade Cemetery is not yet sufficient to main- tain it in such a manner as the Commissioners believe it should be.
There is much property there, both real estate and buildings belonging to the Town and the expense of the care and maintenance of these proper- ties should, we believe, be paid by the Town through the Tax Levy, until such time as the income from sale of lots and the perpetual care funds and miscellaneous receipts is sufficient to take the entire expense. Most, if not all of the salary of the Superintendent of the Cemetery should, we believe, be paid by the Town and not from the receipts from the sale of lots and perpetual care funds, interests and miscellaneous receipts, as he is the custodian and caretaker of the Town's property in the Cemetery, also salesman of the lots for the Town. There are buildings and much vacant land, some few acres of which will never be suitable for burial purposes, that must be cared for that the rest of the Cemetery may be presentable.
If the funds permit, it is proposed in 1945 to repair and paint the tool house.
The receiving vault that was built by the W.P.A. received many repairs in 1943 and 1944 at some considerable expense. This year, 1945, it should be waterproofed as much water during a rain storm seeps through the crevices and joints of the stone work, which if allowed to continue will cause the masonry to crumble.
There were eighty-six burials in 1944, and the receipts were as follows:
Sale of Lots and Graves $ 2,179.00
Perpetual Care
2,310.00
Miscellaneous 2,040.00
Total
$ 6,529.00
The charges are much lower in Forest Glade Cemetery than in most Cemeteries which, together with the low rate of interest received from banks on the perpetual care funds deposited there, makes the revenue received as above, not enough to carry on the work and care of the cemetery as the Commissioners would like to. In addition to all the above needs, there is a very great need for a modern fire proof garage and work shop.
Respectfully submitted,
J. W. MacGILLIVRAY, Chairman WILLIAM E. PACKARD, Secretary

REPORT OF BATH HOUSE SUPERVISOR
Report of Bath House Supervisor
To the Board of Park and Cemetery Commissioners, Wakefield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
The Bath House, situated off Spaulding Street, opened officially for the 1944 season on June 26th and closed September 4th.
When the season opened on June 26th, Paul Wheeler was in charge. On July 10th he was called into the U. S. Navy and on the same date I took charge of the Bath House.
The weather during the 1944 season was fine and very warm with but few exceptions, with the result that large crowds frequented the Bath House during the season.
Mr. Ronald Robinson was the custodian with Barbara Russell, Matron, in charge of the check room and they did creditable work in their respec- tive positions.
The town furnished fifteen loads of sand at the beginning of the season which the life guards shoveled into place under the direction of Mr. Abbott.

which is an increase of $39,535.02 over 1943.
No extensions or replacements of gas mains were made during the year. Nine new gas services were installed.
No major extensions of the electric lines were made. Seventeen new services were installed and approximately 2000' of secondaries were added.
In July a pothead on one of the main transformers at the substation broke down and the transformer was out of service about two weeks. A new pothead and the cable between the substation and the transformers were installed. About the same time a section of the underground cables serving the North Ward broke down and was replaced.
The hurricane of September 14th caused considerable damage to our lines but our line crew assisted by others from the electric and gas depart- ments, were able to repair all damage within a week. The cost of repair- ing the lines was approximately $2,500.00.
There have been no extensions to the Fire and Police Signal Systems during the year. We hope to be able to install Fire Alarm boxes on White Circle, Robert Street and Victory Village in 1945. There are forty Fire Alarm boxes that have been in service twenty-five years or more, which should be replaced with modern boxes, as soon as possible.
A two-way radio has been installed in our patrol car, so that the driver of this car is in constant touch with the Police Department.
