LOCAL DEFENSE


After 150 years of peace and security within the borders of the United States, we are now called upon to set up forces for defence of our Country, Cities and Towns against an invasion by an enemy who has thrown the whole world into chaos, war and destruction of life and property. While it was confined to Europe until recently, our Government, knowing the aspira- tions of the Axis powers, deemed it in our interests to prepare for the worst while still hoping that we, as a Nation, might escape the madness of those enemy powers. So early in August 1940, Defense administra- tion and defense committees were organized all over the U. S. A. This was upon authority of the President of the U. S. A. and the Governor of each State. Late in August 1940 a committee was formed here and started to put into action the required units as outlined by the State Administration. Progress was necessarily slow. Many of our citizens were not willing to accept the idea that we were in any danger of invasion.


64


However, at this writing we are able to report prog- ress equal to most places comparable with our town.


Our principle wardens, one for each of the eight divisions of the town, supplemented by a number of neighborhood wardens, numbering up to 50, have been thoroughly trained and certified, ready for duty.


A steady school for training more wardens in A. R. P. and First Aid, both men and women, will be carried on as long as there seems to be necessity and an inter- est of our citizens.


We urge you to get well acquainted with your war- den, be guided by his instructions in preparation for emergencies, black-outs and incendiary bomb fires. The time given to him for your instruction may save a life; may save your home.


At the time of this writing, January 15, the enemy is in our waters, too near to our shores. Above all things, don't get panicky. Do as instructed by your warden. He is your friend.


The Defense Committee are and will continue to do their part. In the interest of Freedom, Liberty and the right to live in a Democracy, "DO YOUR PART."


H. E. BRYANT, Chairman Defense Committee,


RALPH FRELLICK, Secretary Defense Committee.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT


I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1941 as Tree Warden.


All trees in the town are in a more healthy condition than they were a year ago. The Maples and Oaks are in very good condition. The Elms have improved, but owing to the damage being done by the elm leaf beetle there still is room for improvement. We have done the usual trimming of dead and low hanging limbs and have bolted two trees and cut down a number that were dead.


The condition with regard to the gypsy moth is about the same as last year. We find in scouting for egg clusters in some parts of the town they have increased, in others they have decreased. We have sprayed all the shade trees in the town and to check the elm leaf beetle we sprayed the elms twice. We have also sprayed the woods along the roadside throughout the town.


Respectfully submitted,


CHRISTOPHER READ, Tree Warden.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS For the Year Ending December 31, 1941


There have been inspected during the past year 77 barns and 1,058 cattle. Besides these cattle there were 17 hogs, 16 sheep and 6 goats.


Under the head of slaughtering the number of ani- mals slaughtered was: Hogs, 26.


DAVID DAILEY, Inspector of Animals.


REPORT OF THE COLLECTOR OF TAXES


Because of the improvement in the unemployment situation the Commissioner of Taxation for the State of Massachusetts is charging the local Tax Collectors with the job of collecting the taxes in their locality more promptly. It is therefore the hope of this office that you will co-operate as in the past to fulfill the Commissioner's request.


Details of the collections made by this office will be found in detail under "Accountant's Report."


WALTER C. DUNBAR, Tax Collector.

THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


The Plymouth County Extension Service during 1941 has carried on its usual work of assisting rural and village people with their problems pertaining to agri- culture, homemaking, and 4-H training. Demands are ever-increasing on the Extension Service to organize, administer and teach programs of national, state, county, and town importance. In view of the present crisis programs of work are being organized so that every effort will be directed towards informing the farm people of the ever-changing developments in ag- riculture, and to assist them with their problems dur- ing these critical times.


The agricultural department is organized primarily on a commodity basis, working with commodity com- mittees, associations and groups of farm people. Major agricultural enterprises are cranberries, dairy, poultry, vegetables and fruit, but many smaller projects are covered such as forestry, general livestock, farm ac- counts, etc. The agricultural department renders serv- ice and receives fine co-operation from such agencies as Agricultural Conservation Program, Farm Security Administration, Surplus Marketing Administration, Farm Credit Administration, and various co-operatives.


The Home Demonstration Department conducted some work in each of the towns of the county during 1941. The major program during the spring and fall was in clothing construction. Emphasis was also made on the care, repair and renovation of clothing.


Over five hundred different women attended nutri- tion meetings held during the year. More families were helped this past year to plan home gardens and 18 food preservation demonstration working meetings were conducted.


Homemakers were also helped in various ways in the fields of home management, home furnishing, home grounds improvement and recreation.


68


Four-H Club work is that part of the Agricultural Extension Service which deals with rural youth. Young people between the ages of 10 and 21 in a community organize themselves into a group with their own officers and own local program with the guidance of an adult man or woman leader (who serves voluntarily). Each member has an individual project centering around a problem of the home or the farm. They raise livestock, crops, make clothing, prepare foods, etc. They serve as officers and on committees of their own club. They have camps, games, songs, exhibits, tours, hikes, and social meetings. They work and play together. They learn to co-operate by co-operating.

The financial assistance and moral support of West Bridgewater is greatly appreciated by the people the Extension Service assists. A continuation of its sup- port is justified on the record it has achieved. Its in- fluence cannot be measured by monetary values, but its educational programs and individual assistance con- stitute one measure in the first line of national defense.

Town Director.

REPORT ON THE W. P. A.


Early in June by Federal orders many of the towns were required to close out their projects and were with- drawn from W. P. A. assistance. From January 1, 1941 to the close most of the labor was upon highway pro- jects, Walnut Street receiving the bulk of benefit. Ap- proximately one-half mile was resurfaced with gravel.


Surveys were made on Plain Street and Central Square to Post Office preparatory to constructing black top sidewalks. Assistance was withdrawn, however, before we could accomplish this.


The indexing of old records was completed and will prove of value in hunting up articles which we are required to do from time to time.


Sewing project closed with others.


Another survey and plans for rebuilding the spillway in the river adjacent to the dam involved the State Department of Rivers, also the U. S. Army Engineering Corps, and these two latter requirements took so long (four months) that we lost out on that also. This repair will have to be made to prevent severe damage to the park and also would become a nuisance if allowed to drain the river.


The commissary continues and has distributed large quantities of food during 1941 as follows:
