Our circulation for the year was 1484; 1169 Fiction and 315 Non-Fiction. We have added about 500 volumes to our growing list, principally by donations. Miss Alice L. Bouve of Hingham contributed about 400 volumes from her library and Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Wright of Hingham and Mr. and Mrs. John L. Bates of Portsmouth, N. H .. were generous donors. The State Library Commission continues it encouragement with gifts of the most attractive children's books which are much appreciated.
With the necessary resumption of the use of the upper room in the Ridge Hill School building for school purposes.
EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
we enlarged, by one half, our library building and removed to our original quarters, which are adequate for our present needs.
We are indebted to Mr. Wm. O. Prouty and Mr. E. Har- old Osbonre for one half their labor in constructing the addition, and to Mr. Conrad Willers for painting.
Mr. Herman Dickman, a summer resident, gave $10 for- shingles, and the proceeds of a whist party and the Union Athletic Association added $15 towards our expenditures.

Report of the Trustees Of Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture 1930
Through local and county-wide meetings, through the preparation and mailing of timely circular letters, through the 4H clubs organized for the boys and girls of the coun- ty, through personal correspondence and by means of indi- vidual service to farmers and members of their families, the Plymouth County Extension Service during the year 1930 co-operated with every town in the county in bringing to its citizens information regarding agriculture and homemak- ing. Approximately fifty-five hundred families in the coun- ty have received assistance, information, or advice from the Extension Service this past year.
The following paragraphs summarize very briefly some of the ways through which the town of Norwell was able to take advantage of the service offered through this organiz- ation.
Norwell farmers attended many of the meetings. Fifty- eight men received regularly letters and bulletins containing agricultural information. Circulars on the spraying and care of orchards and others on poultry management were in greatest demand. The county agent made personal calls upon poultrymen and fruit growers to give advice on defin- ite problems. During the county-wide campaign to control
81
TOWN OF NORWELL
rats, 42 packages of especially prepared poisoned bait were supplied to citizens of the town at cost.
Norwell has been included in the Food Preservation and Clothing projects of the home department.
Four-H club members of Norwell were enrolled in the garden, poultry, and lunch box clubs during the past year. The clubs met regularly and were supervised by a local lead- er.
Some of the garden and poultry club members exhibited their products at the county fairs and were quite successful in winning prizes.
LOUIS H. OGDEN, Director for Norwell
Visiting Nurse Association
TREASURER'S REPORT
If you like figures look at the report of the nurse and learn that she made one thousand and fifty-seven calls of all kinds, all exclusive of her daily school work. Look at the financial report and see that we took in twelve hundred and eighteen dollars and spent thirteen hundred thirty-five or one hundred and seventeen dollars more than we collect- ed.
The new car was delivered February 20th and has been driven over ten thousand miles in ten months.
Our physical property is in good shape. We own the den- tist chair, the dental power drill, one or two back rests for patients sitting up in bed, a closet full of bed linen to lend in emergencies, whole outfits for new born babies, and other similar necessities of public nursing.
All of these things are due to your generosity and you must ask yourselves individually what part you personally contributed.
For publicity purposes we would like to publish the names of all our generous contributors and subscribers, but refrain from doing so lest some might feel offended: but we are truly appreciative of all your generous support, both for what it enables us to do and as an evidence of your ap-
83
TOWN OF NORWELL
proval of what the nursing service is doing for the well being of the people.
It is not often easy to point to concrete evidence of the worth of such things as a detal clinic or a well baby clinic, but such a case came up in the well baby clinic this year. The life of an infant was unquestionably saved through the recognition by the Boston specialist of an obscure malady with which the attending physician could hardly be expected to be familiar. Without treatment the infant would un- doubtedly have died. Immediate treatment was arranged at a Boston hospital and the child's life was saved.
We do not claim to save a life at every clinic, but we know that the Well Baby Clinic and the Dental Clinic are both doing fine work in bettering the health and so increas- ing the happiness of the children, and furnishing a service that in many cases would not otherwise be performed.
These are some of the worthwhile features of the Nurs- ing Service in which we can all take pride.
A great deal of credit is due to the devotion and energy of those who have solicited your membership dues or given various benefit performances and parties, and last but by no means least to our nurse, Miss Roe.
