A group of homemakers in Acton center and North Acton completed the Extension Service course in Home Furnishing and enrolled for the course in Nutrition on Building Healthy Children. Only the Acton center group enrolled for the course in coat-making. A number of visits were made by the Home Demonstration Agents and the State Specialists to give help on home furnishing, nutrition and on Community Kitchen Im- provement. Meetings on Community Singing and Folk Dancing were conducted by the State Specialist, Mr. Lyle R. Ring, and members of the Acton groups took part in the County-wide Music Festival held in Lexington in June. The Home Dem- onstration Agent judged the Home Work Exhibit at the Acton Fair. A new town committee has been appointed to take charge of organizing Home Department work. This includes: Mrs. Albert Durkee, Chairman; Mrs. Clarence Frost, Mrs. Henry Teele, Mrs. Arthur Freese, and Mrs. Benjamin Ineson.
4-H Club activities were carried on in home furnishing, craft, clothing, canning, conservation and garden. In addition, there was a High School Agricultural Club which met weekly during school time. This club was furnished an excellent program with the help of specialists from the State College.
4-H work in Acton is under the general supervision of the Town Committee, of which Mr. Walter F. Hall is chairman. The leaders of the clubs were: Miss Jessie Kinnevan, Miss Ruth Berglund, Miss Elise Dickerman, Mrs. Jesse Briggs, Mrs. Ruth Peterson, Mrs. Paul Duncan, Frank Braman, Sidney Dur- kee and John McGuire.

An exhibit was held in the spring in conjunction with the regular school exhibit. Club members also exhibited in the fall at the American Legion Fiesta.
Joseph Perry was the winner in the county-wide poultry contest, and was awarded a week at the State Camp.

In November, all the leaders and committee members in the northern end of the county, held their first annual meeting at the High School where Miss Edith Ames, assisted by the High School girls, prepared and served a delicious supper.
Assistance was also given in furnishing speakers for the Boys' High School Club.

Report of Sealer of Weights and Measures
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen: I herewith submit my annual report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31, 1936. The work of this department continues to increase as the Director of Standard's Office calls for more inspections, and a more rigid check on Pedlars' and Hawkers' licenses. I have found a sincere desire on the part of merchants to co-operate with the Sealer, and as a result I find the condition of equip- ment in good condition.
There have been many new measuring devices for gasoline and oil added in the last three years, which has increased the work, and exacting a greater knowledge of such equipment. I wish to thank the Police Department and the Assessors for their cooperation, for the assistance given in checking Pedlar and Transient Vendor's Licenses.
In addition to the re-weighing of commodities and store in- spection, I have tested and sealed the following:

As is required, once in ten years, the avoirdupois weights, part of the State Standards, were sent to the State House for calibration. Some needed nickel plating, accounting for the above charge of Boston Nickel Plating Co. I recommend an ap- propriation for this department to cover salary, expenses, trans- portation and all other costs of $280.00 for the year 1937.
Respectfully submitted,

CLARE A. MILBERY,
Sealer of Weights and Measures.
