REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


Our happiest event was being awarded Honorable Men- tion in the Book-of-the-Month Club contest, held in memory ·of Dorothy Canfield Fisher for libraries in towns under 25,000 population. Our library placed among the top ten of 48 win- ners and will receive a check for $1500, earmarked for books, on April 21 (National Library Week). A copy of the letter that accompanied our application for the award is appended to these remarks.


The Southbridge Woman's Club chose the library as a service project and began a three year program of planting flowers. The colorful beds excited much interest.


In the fall our new automatic charging system was in- stalled after months of preparation aided by the contributed hours of Peggy DeAngelis and Barbara Earls, both high school students.


With the installation of a microfilm reader the news- paper file, filmed in 1961, was actively used.


After 29 years of outstanding service, Oswald Laliberte was replaced on the Board of Trustees by Edgar V. Lewis. Edward Sheehan moved from the community and was re- placed by Henry Madore.


The librarian attended the American Library Association Convention at Miami Beach, presided at two meetings of the Bay Path Library Club, was a hostess at the first Governor's Conference for Libraries, served as Reading Badge Consultant for the Boy Scouts, and was a member of the Executive Com- mittee of the Central Regional Library System. Book talks were given to the Webster Women's Club and the National Secretaries' Association. Mrs. Alfred Eddy was asked to talk on Children's reading at a Dudley P.T.A.


Instruction in the use of library materials was given to 14 classes through the 8th grade. As all three high schools now have librarians, the public library need no longer assume this responsibility for upper grades. Seven Scout troops (Boy, Girl, Brownie, Cub) met at the library.


The library continued to sponsor the Great Books Dis- cussion Group, the children's film program, a weekly story hour, the summer reading club, the creative writing contest, and the weekly newspaper column.


A suggestion-a small addition should be added to the building eventually. The summer reading club must meet in three sections for lack of space, and other children's pro- grams, now conducted in one end of the Children's Room,


189


seriously hamper the use of that room. We also need more- space to make use of our collections on local history.


Gratitude is forever owing to the Trustees for their co- operation and foresight and to the staff for their untiring service. Edward Zuiss continued to give endless hours of serv- ice. The Southbridge Evening News, the Police Force and Fire Department, the administrations of both public and parochial schools have been exceptionally helpful. The townspeople were demanding as well as appreciative which is essential to the vitality of our library.


It was a good year.


Letter that accompanied library's application for 1963 Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book-of-the-Month Club award. Ad- dressed to Russell Thacher, Award Director of Book-of-the- Month, dated September 26, 1962. Dear Mr. Thacher:


The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Library award serves to. alert all library personnel, including the trustees, to the awareness of a library's needs in order to better serve its clientele. Since the library card may be referred to as a pass- port to a free education, then it follows that the library which is the source of this education must be kept in optimum condi- tion so that it may render the best possible service to its com- munity.


The Jacob Edwards Memorial Library in Southbridge, Massachusetts, is a library of 40,000 volumes serving a com- munity of 16,000 people. It has a monthly circulation of seven to eight thousand volumes. The librarian, Mrs. Tien, through her regular visits to the schools, her extensive weekly column in our local newspaper, and her organizational ability is for- ever creating an increase in the use of our library facilities. Her personal appearances on behalf of the library in various local schools have brought many more teachers and students. from both public and parochial schools to the library shelves. She directs the regular deposit of books in all the schools. For six consecutive years, during Book Week, a Creative Writing Contest for students of the elementary grades is held by the library. During the school year weekly story hours and nature film programs are conducted. The Summer Reading Club for children is so popular that it must meet in three sections to accommodate the large number interested. In the fall of the year regular library instructions are given to the fifth graders in the use of the children's section and to the eighth graders in the use of the adult area. For adults the library offers the Great Books Club now enjoying its fourth year.


Since 1954 our library has undergone a face-lifting pro-


190


gram which has seen the installation of a completely new lighting system eliminating all table lamps. The dark oak furniture has been converted to limed oak. The dark walls and drapes were changed to gay pastel colors. Three large, unused, dusty rooms in the basement were converted into one long room which was furnished with child size furniture and serves as a lovely children's room. This room is supervised by Mrs. Herz, the children's librarian.


The trustees, who are local business and professional men, are all members of the Massachusetts Association of Library Trustees. Under their guidance there is a constant eagerness to improve the facilities of the library so that it may better serve its friends. A recent undertaking has been the micro- filming of the local newspapers which had been kept on file for one hundred years. An automatic charging system is being installed and is almost completed. The book budget has been increased to $6,000 thereby fulfilling all qualifications to re- ceive state aid. The library is active and eager to participate in the Massachusetts Regional Library System. Our librarian is a member of the executive board of the Central Regional System, the first to be established in Massachusetts. She has been instrumental in organizing an informal regional co-oper- ative plan among small area libraries. She is encouraged to attend meetings and conventions at the expense of the library.


The co-operation between librarian and trustees has been such that it has placed the Jacob Edwards Memorial Library in an enviable position for the high quality of service it gives to its readers.


Very truly yours,


NERIO W. PIOPPI, M. C. Chairman, Board of Trustees

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


As Director of the Department of Veterans' Services and Agent for Veterans' Benefits, since October 15, 1962, the date of my appointment, I hereby submit my report of activities and services rendered for the year 1962.


VETERANS' SERVICES


This office is available to all veterans of Southbridge and their dependents, seeking information pertaining to their rights and benefits under Federal and State Laws.


It is the policy of this department to inform all eligible veterans and their dependents how to obtain benefits within the limits of the laws governing each agency.


Photostatic copies of discharges are being developed for Southbridge veterans. In additon, copies of marriage, birth, death, and other certificates were made for Veterans' Benefits and claims against the Veterans Adminstration. Necessary forms were filled out covering lost discharges, burial allowance and yearly income questionnaires.


Claims were filed with the Veterans Administration and other branches of the government pertaining to education, training subsistence allowance, insurance payments, medical treatment, hospitalization, compensation and pension for vet- erans and their dependents, re-employment rights, employ- ment difficulties, unemployment compensation, as well as nu- merous telephone calls and letters.

VETERANS' BENEFITS


Under Chapter 115, and its amendments, each application for Veterans' Benefits submitted to the town after thorough investigation by this office is forwarded to the office of the Commissioner of Veterans Services, Boston, Massachusetts, for approval, as under this chapter the state agrees to reimburse the town for one-half of all aid granted. An investigator for the State Office periodically checks the local agent's office, in addition to personally contacting the recipient of veterans' benefits.


Under the law of the Commonwealth, if a veteran or his dependents, meet all requirements of eligibility and he falls in need of financial assistance through no fault of his own, he is granted Veterans Benefits. The amount varies, and is de-


195


pendent upon, the particular needs of the individual case. Any amount received from Federal benefits or other financial grants is deducted from the amount that is allowed by this depart- ment, therefore helping to reduce that which must be ex- pected by the town.


As of December 31, 1962, there were 85 active cases on file, aiding 135 persons. In addition, many cases were pending settlement and, as a result, constant follow-up service is main- tained and reviews and appeals are requested where awards are considered unfair or insufficient.


For a list of expenditures and reimbursements of this de- partment, please refer to report of the Town Accountant.


I wish to express my sincere thanks to all town depart- ments, officials at the Holyoke Soldiers Home, Roxbury and Boston Veterans Administration Hospitals, local industries, veterans organizations and their auxiliaries and all others who helped to carry out the service of this department.


I also wish to express my thanks to the Santa Fund who responded to our appeal so generously at Christmas time and to various persons who wish to remain anonymous.


Respectfully submitted, J. ARCHIE CHAMPAGNE, Veterans Agent and Director Veterans' Services.


ADVISORY BOARD OF REVIEW For Classification and Compensation


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:


The members of the Board held regular meetings at the Town Hall in Southbridge, Massachusetts, in the room over the Selectmen's office on Monday evenings at 7:00 o'clock.


John E. Merrill has succeeded to the chairmanship. We regret the loss of the valuable services of our able secretary, Frank O. Robson, who retired from the board because of the pressure of other business.


The survey which we were working on last year resulted in the insertion of an article in the Special Town Meeting held in the Southbridge High School Auditorium on Monday, May 21, 1962, at 7:00 P. M. This was designated as Article 2 of the warrant. The article was voted unanimously by the voters present.


With clarifications and adjustments voted it has been pos- sible for us to prepare for presentation to every office and de-


196


partment of the town an up-to-date classification and compen- sation plan.


Our work of the past year has given us satisfaction and we trust we have served our town faithfully.


Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. MERRILL, Chairman MILFORD E. SHARP, Secretary HECTOR BRODEUR ROBERT D. BERGMAN

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The Committee met and organized on April 2, 1962. Lec- tance Landry was named chairman, and the other two mem- bers are Stavri Yanka and Anthony Trifone. Seaver Rice was appointed superintendent and clerk.


Several workers started the first week in April, getting the cemetery ready for the summer season: sunken graves were filled in and seeded, grave stones were straightened, leaves and other debris was raked up and carted away, gravel roads were put in order and the cemetery was in good shape when grass cutting started in early May and continued daily until October.


Our cemetery embraces nearly thirty acres and it takes several men approximately ten days for a complete cutting and trimming.


The new development in the lower part of the cemetery near Cohasse Brook will be completed this year. All that re- mains to be done is the loaming, seeding and laying out of the burial lots. When finished this area will be welcome as a needed addition.


The committee wishes to extend thanks to all town offi- cials who courteously assisted us with our problems. Joseph Benoit, Town High Superintendent was very helpful in snow removal and other projects.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE


REPORT OF THE SWIMMING POOL SUB-COMMITTEE To the Chairman of the Recreation Committee: Dear Sir:


At your request I am submitting the annual report of the swimming pool supervisor for the 1962 season.


Attendance:


An encouraging trend in increased parent participation in pool activities was observed during the 1962 swimming season. More parents are now enjoying the facilities of the pool with their children than ever before. The clearing of the pool bot -- tom several years ago is unquestionably responsible for this encouraging trend.


Instruction:


More than 500 youngsters and adults participated in the Red Cross Program which was conducted by the Southbridge Red Cross Chapter during the morning hours. Instruction ranged from beginner swimming to advance life-saving. This is an excellent program and should continue to receive our complete support.


Rescues:


A sure drowning was averted by the excellent teamwork of the lifeguard staff and the fire department in early July. Fifteen other bathers, representing less serious cases, were also rescued by the lifeguards during the season. The importance of efficient supervision can never be over emphasized.


Health Care:


Periodic water tests taken by the engineering firm of Met- calf & Eddy revealed that the pool water was of excellent quality for bathing. The sprinkler system now in use to con- trol the flow of water in accordance with the bathing load has proven most satisfactory.
