Norwell Visiting Nurse Association, Inc.
Report for Year 1934.
A brief summary of the work of the Visiting Nurse Association should show its value, and the need for a continuance of the loyal support which has always been accorded it.
The importance to the community of the Schick Test was stressed in last year's report. It is a part of the plan for this year, and it is hoped that its heavy expense may be defrayed, at least in part, by the Board of Health.
The Well Baby Clinic, held the second Monday of the month under Dr. Edmund B. Fitzgerald, should receive the enthusiastic patronage of the parents. Started in 1929, it has included for one year Scituate, and for five years, Hanover. These two associations are now con- ducting clinics of their own, and Norwell must carry the expense alone.
The work of the Dental and Pre-School Clinics is fa- miliar to all.
The Treasurer's report shows an appreciable falling off in cash receipts from fees. This does not indicate fewer visits of the nurse, but more charity cases, due partly to the times. If those who can pay the fees will use the opportunities afforded by the nursing service and clinics whenever needed, this will offset the cases where no charge can be collected.
The success of the Rummage Sales held for the raising of additional funds seems to warrant their establishment as a regular source of income. Your support is asked for two annually, in the spring and fall.
100
EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
The association has suffered the loss, through removal from town, of its President, Mrs. William Davis, Jr., and through death, of its former President and valued mem- ber of the Board, Mrs. Cecil Whitney.
Your Executive Board hopes it may have and deserve your continued interest, constructive criticism and finan- cial aid, that the work may be carried on to greater suc- cess.
JESSIE R. C. ATWATER,
Vice President.

Report of County Aid to Agriculture (Plymouth County Extension Service) NORWELL, 1934
In every branch of agriculture the Extension Service endeavors to keep the farmers of the County acquainted with developments in production and marketing, to give specific advice on individual problems and lend aid in cooperative enterprise. In addition to the usual lines of work it has been important this year to keep the farmers of the County informed of their position under the agri- cultural programs of the federal government.
Marketing programs and new farm credit facilities have been most helpful here. Farmers of the County took advantage of the latter to an amount of nearly $400,000 during 1934. During the year over 3200 farmers in the County were supplied with information in some form on problems directly affecting their production problems.
It is a responsibility of the Extension Service to make available to women in the home a knowledge of the best current practices relative to keeping the family satis- factorily fed, clothed, and housed, and to aid in adjust- ing these practices to the family standards and pocket book.
Our home program has reached at least 3000 people either indirectly in solving problems, or through groups organized to study specific points of homemaking. In our major projects alone - Children's Coats, Home Furnish- ing, Chair Seating, and Parent Education - fifty-three study groups were formed with over five hundred women enrolled.
In 4-H Club Work, the Extension Service provides for the boys and girls of the County an opportunity for edu-

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
cational development through study and practice in home economics and agriculture, as well as an opportunity for self improvement. It emphasizes the home and brings club members and parents together in a common inter- est. It develops cooperation, leadership, self-confidence, ambition, sportsmanship, ability to think, responsibility, and community spirit.
Norwell citizens, in addition to participating in the many county-wide activities of the Extension Service, have benefited by the following specific activities which were carried on in the Town itself.
A poultry meeting was held in Town during the sum- mer to demonstrate proper methods in culling hens. Per- sonal visits were made to individual farmers to give ad- vice on specific questions. Many others attended agricul- tural meetings held in neighboring towns or secured information from the Extension Service by means of personal letters or telephone calls. All men interested in agricultural matters received regularly letters and bulletins on the control of fruit and garden pests, grow- ing crops or the management of poultry or livestock.
Four-H Club members enrolled in the clothing, food and garden projects during 1934.
Garden Club members were visited by the County Club Agent. Roland Anderson attended the State 4-H Garden Day held at the Massachusetts State College in Amherst.
