DISABILITY ASSISTANCE was granted to 50 persons.


An analysis of gross and net expenditures for 1953 in comparison with 1952 reveals the following situation:


The 1953 gross for the four categories of aid amounted to $686,064 (cents omitted) as against the $679,300 in 1952. This was an increase of $6,764 or less than 1%. The 1953 net was $153,050 as against $144,604 in 1952, an increase of $8,446 or slightly under 6%.


The reason for the higher rate of increase in net expenditures is not due to size of case loads as the increase is only 3, from 683 to 686. The main factor is the rising cost of medical care coupled with de- creased reimbursement from Federal Grants percentage wise. The Federal Grants in the three categories, Aid to Dependent Children, Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance are based on formulas all carrying ceilings beyond which there is no participation. Since


211


REPORT OF THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT


illness is most prevalent in the categories of Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance (combined case load of 611 out of 686 approxi- mately ) and since Federal does not participate above $55.00 monthly in either of these two categories, the increase falls heavily upon the State and Local jurisdictions.


In an effort to effect uniform State wide standards and cost con- trols the State Department of Public Welfare has published a Medical Care Plan the adoption of which is mandatory upon cities and towns. It is effective January 1, 1954 and full compliance must be met on or before July 1, 1954. Failure to conform means loss of both Fed- eral and State reimbursement on such incurred costs for medical care.


Since 1945, when Old Age Assistance recipients were given the right to have physician of choice, local boards of public welfare were allowed to set up their own medical care plan, subject to approval and supervision by the State Department of Public Welfare. These local plans have now been superseded by new Advisory Board Rule No. 3 which has the effect of law.


Briefly it reverses past practice of granting extra money to re- cipients to pay their own medical bills and puts into effect a system of vendor payments. These vendor payments will require prior author- ization by boards of public welfare and submission of bills by the vendor on or before the 15th day of each month for services ren- dered the prior month.


Agreements have been reached between the State Department and Medical Groups for standard costs of medical care and services, and fee schedules have been released. Local boards of public welfare are charged with the responsibility of putting this new program in effect. It appears to be a sound workable system but will add tremendously to the recording duties of each local Agency.


As Agent of the Public Welfare Department I wish to express my sincere thanks to you and to all officials and employees of the town who have so willingly cooperated with me throughout the year. Further, I desire to thank my own staff and the private agencies, service organizations and individuals who, putting service above self, have so ably brought to distressed individuals and families the for- mula for a better life.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE V. MORSE, Agent.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY


To: The Town Manager


Dear Mr. Monahan:


We submit herewith the Report of the Librarian for 1953.


The Board of Trustees served during most of 1953 under the able chairmanship of Mr. Roscoe O. Elliott. The library and the town sustained a real loss when he resigned in November on mov- ing to Duxbury. He had been a trustee since 1947. To fill the vacancy on the Board the Town Manager appointed Mr. Edmund L. Frost, a library trustee, 1944-1950 and selectman 1950-1953.


The devoted and capable services of Mrs. E. Warren Heaps, Jr. were lost when she resigned in June on moving to Indianapolis. She had been a trustee since 1950, and was secretary of the Board when she resigned. To fill the vacancy on the Board the Town Manager appointed Mrs. Alfred Yood, who was elected secretary.


Mr. Frederick Stanley Glynn, Jr. served on the Board until his business took him to Iceland in April.


The undersigned was elected chairman of the Board on De- cember 14.


The people of the town during 1953 made increasing use of the facilities and services of the library. As the accompanying Report of the Librarian shows, the increase has occurred in all departments, and is especially notable at the East Branch in this first year in its enlarged quarters. The general growth and speci- fically the growth of the Music section and Young People's sec- tion, both relatively new departments, have increased the need for more space in the Main Library for books, reading tables, and other equipment. In their continuing study of the situation, the trustees will have the benefit of the Wheeler survey for long-term planning referred to in Mr. Elliott's report for 1951.


214


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


On May 23, with appropriate ceremonies, the bronze plaque in the Junior Library was unveiled by Mrs. Heaps. This plaque commemorates the gift in 1835 of one hundred dollars by Dr. Ebenezer Learned to establish in Arlington what proved to be the first juvenile library in the United States. The trustees believe it is fitting that the town take pride in this distinction.


The trustees are indebted to their fellow-townsman, Dr. Jakob Rosenberg, for his continued interest in the Robbins Print Collec- tion, and specifically for his aid and recommedations which led to the securing of highly qualified curators. Mrs. Marilyn Lavin served from April to September, when she left for a year in Europe and was succeeded by Mrs. Birgit Shell. Further progress has been made in cataloguing the huge collection, exhibitions have been dis- played, and the collection has received desirable publicity.


The library halls are in great demand. How frequently they are used by groups and organizations of the town may be seen in the Report of the Librarian. We have been happy to welcome a new and "steady" user during 1953-the Golden Age Club.


In spite of improvements in illumination in recent years, the trustees are aware that the lighting is still not adequate in parts of the Main Library. Expert surveys have been made, and steps to improve the lighting will be taken as funds are made available.


The trustees express appreciation to Mr. Monahan, who be- came our first Town Manager during 1953, for his interest, cooper- ation and efficient service.


Our Librarian, Miss Stromdahl, brought distinction to the library and the town when she was made vice-president and presi- dent-elect of the Massachusetts Library Association.


The trustees are grateful to Miss Stromdahl and the Staff for their faithful service and cooperative spirit.


Respectfully submitted,


MARK W. BRADFORD, Chariman

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


Report of the Librarian for the Year 1953


Apparently the residents of Arlington recognize that the Rob- bins Library is their library, provided for their use, that it provides free access to many kinds of educational and recreational mater- ials-books, newspapers, magazines, pictures, pamphlets, music re- cords -- and that it offers reading and reference advisory service to young and old, for they have supported it and used it in a most satisfactory fashion during the past year.


Complete coverage of the program of the library during 1953 cannot be given in this report. The following information may serve to point up, in a small measure, the activities and accomplishments of the year, and to emphasize the aims of the Staff of the Robbins Library: to give personal service to the individuals who come into the library with specific requests and to serve educational and com- munity groups and organizations in every way possible.


THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES IN THE BOOK COLLECTION WAS INCREASED


"Books are vital. They are the library's life blood. Without them civilization could not advance, schools could not exist, libraries could not serve." The following facts regarding the book collec- tion of the Robbins Library should be of interest to the citizens of the Town.


On December 31, 1952, the book collection contained 95,959 volumes. During 1953, 6,826 books were added to, and 2,659 books were withdrawn from the collection, so that on December 31, 1953, the Book Collection totaled 100,126 volumes. This figure shows a net increase of 4,167 volumes.


Acquisition of new titles to the adult collection during the past year resulted largely from the efforts of the Book Selection Committee of the Staff, composed entirely of professional library assistants. Books for the Children's and Young People's Depart- ments were added under the guidance of the Children's and Young People's Librarians who are specially trained in this painstaking, time consuming and important work.


NEW BORROWERS WERE ADDED


A growing number of Arlington residents made use of their library as the following figures show. As of December 31, 1953, the Robbins Library had 14,213 registered borrowers, of which 3,203 were new registrants.

217


REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


MANY ACTIVITIES KEPT THE STAFF BUSY


Vital work was done with school classes, teaching the use of the library's resources to the young people. Whenever possible this teaching program was carried on at the Library where the various classes met for three periods of instruction each, when feasible.


Collections of Library books were sent from practically every department of the library to many outside agencies, including Schools, Churches, PTA Groups, Summer Camps, Convalescent Homes and the Fire Stations.


To stimulate an interest in reading on the part of young people, a Reading Club called the Arlington High School Reviewers, was carried on under the direction of the Young People's Librarian and the Arlington High School Librarian, while at the Junior Library and the two Branches, Dallin and East, a summer reading activity was sponsored. The theme of this reading effort was Our American Heritage.


During the winter months story hours were held for the chil- dren to which 1,174 boys and girls found their way. Stories were told by the Children's and Branch Librarians.


Upon request, book lists and bibliographies were prepared for clubs as well as for individuals; collections of books on special subjects were exhibited in the library and at group meetings; read- ing lists for young people were compiled; exhibits of various kinds displayed; book talks were given. The purpose of these services was always to bring books and people together.


During the year special emphasis was placed on the expansion of the picture file used by students, teachers and others. Hun- dreds of pictures were mounted and added to the collection result- ing in increased use by the public.


Afternoon and evening commentated recorded concerts were held for those who enjoy music and excellent high-fidelity music equipment was procured for better enjoyment of these concerts.


Semi -- weekly visits were made to the Symmes Arlington Hos- pital by a member of the Library Staff who visited the patients with her book truck loaded with reading material. 8,179 books and magazines were circulated among the patients during 1953.


SPECIAL EVENTS WERE OBSERVED


One of the most important of the special events of the year was the reopening, on New Year's Day, of the remodeled East Branch Library. Another significant event was observed at the Dallin Branch in April, when a 15th Anniversary Open House was held at which time the Arlington Heights Study Club presented the Branch with a Televiewer and a set of stereographs. In May, dur- ing Spring Book Festival, a plaque commemorating the establishment of the first Children's Library in the United States, here in Arling- ton, was unveiled in the Junior Library, and again in the fall, Book Week was observed with a program of school visits, book talks, book displays and story hours.


218


ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


LIBRARY FACILITIES WERE USED


The use made of the Main Library and Branch Auditoriums and the Conference Room at the Main Library indicates that the Library is a center for Community activity. During 1953, the facilities at the Main Library alone were used on 479 occasions.


Through the interest and courtesy of the Art Committee of the Woman's Club, exhibits of paintings by local artists were hung in the Art Corridor for the enjoyment of the public.


IN SPITE OF CUSTOMARY ROUTINE CHANGES IN PERSONNEL, LIBRARY SERVICES WERE CONTINUED


Several members of the staff resigned during the year, some to be married, others for personal reasons. Their successors include Miss Dolores C. Eveleth, appointed as Head of the Circulation Department, Mrs. Mary Sue Wilson and Mrs. Judith Burg appoint- ed to the professional, and Mrs. Louise Sullivan and Mrs. Thelma Benshimol to the non-professional staff.


John Loftus was appointed Junior Custodian in August and assigned to the Main Library Building.


The Librarian extends a word of appreciation to all who have in any way contributed to the successful year experienced by the Library in 1953. To the Town Manager for his understanding and sympathetic interest, the editors of the local newspapers, the citi- zens music committee, those who have remembered the Library with gifts, the public for loyal support, the staff for cooperation, and the exceptional Board of Library Trustees which in the final analysis is responsible for the services rendered to the public by the Library, thanks are given.
