EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT


NORWELL VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED


The usual work of the Association has been carried on with the helpful co-operation of our townspeople in the membership. drive, the Tuberculosis Seal Sale, and the Rummage Sales.


The outstanding activity of the year has been the Health Survey conducted in March and June, by the State Department of Health, with the help of the local Board of Health and the Visiting Nurse Association. In March over eighty children of pre-school age were thoroughly examined by a physician, a dentist, and a nutritionist. Advice was given to the parents as to further care, and the response to this opportunity was very gratifying. The records are to be kept and carried on into the school years so it is hoped that the benefits of this survey will continue. In June about twenty chil- dren who could not come earlier were examined with similar results.


As a further health measure, the State nutritionist ` spent many days in Norwell during August, giving per- sonal advice and help in homes where it was requested. With the co-operation of neighboring towns, nutrition work of this kind could be carried on and would, no doubt, be of great value.


The Annual meeting of your Association will be held on Wednesday afternoon, March 9th, at the Town Hall. It is expected that a speaker will be present to discuss Group Hospital Insurance-a subject of interest to all.


74


TOWN OF NORWELL


Notices of this meeting will be sent to all members and will be published in the local papers. A cordial invita- tion is extended to anyone interested in this subject and in the work of the Association to be present.

REPORT OF COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE


Plymouth County Extension Service, Town of Norwell By William D. Jacobs, Town Director


In presenting the report of Extension Service activi- ties for the town of Norwell, I would like to first call your attention to the fact that the Plymouth County Extension Service has been functioning for the better- ment of Agriculture, Home Life, and the boys and girls of the County for twenty-three years. It is your organiz- ation and its service to you is dependent in large meas- ure upon your desire and request for such services.


REPORT OF ARGICULTURAL WORK


The County Extension Service endeavors to present useful and practical information to farmers of the County and encourage the application of the same. We aid in securing and presenting information on produc- tion, marketing, and assist in cooperative enterprises.


During 1937 much time has been given to the Agri- cultural Conservation Program. The program is in line with our agricultural teachings and can be of assistance to county farmers. Four hundred and fifty men are ex- pected to receive payments totaling $25,000.


We have assisted in every way possible various or- ganizations that have requested our services. Among these are the Associations of County Dairymen, Poul- trymen, Cranberry Growers, Production Credit, Goat Owners, Bee Keepers, Rural Resettlement, various Fairs, Granges, and Egg Auction.


Thirty-two hundred farmers in the County were sup-


77


EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT


plied with timely information regarding agricultural problems, while 696 farm visits were made.


HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK


It is the aim of Home Economics Extension Work to assist women with problems connected with house- keeping, home management, and family life.


During 1937, in addition to the service given indi- vidual homes, sixty-seven groups have been organized for study along some one of the lines indicated above. In January of 1938, sixteen more groups were added to this list. The total enrollment is well over 1500. Two hundred and fifty-seven women have helped in the organization and carrying out of the program. The sub- jects especially studied during this period have been home management, home grounds improvement, food preservation, furniture refinishing, chair seating, and clothing. Work has also been included in nutrition, parent education and recreation.


CLUB WORK


In 4-H Club Work, the Extension Service provides for the boys and girls of the County an opportunity for educational development through study and practice in home economics and agriculture, as well as an oppor- tunity for self-improvement. It emphasizes the home, and brings club members and parents together in a common interest. It develops cooperation, leadership, self-confidence, ambition, sportsmanship, ability to think, responsibility and community spirit. '


There were 106 4-H Clubs organized in 1937 with an enrollment of 1620 different boys and girls. Those clubs were under the supervision of about 100 volunteer local leaders. All towns and cities in the county had some type of 4-HI Club Work this year.


Forty-five are on the mailing list to receive informa-


78


TOWN OF NORWELL


tion relating to Poultry, Fruit, Dairy, Market Garden, and Cranberries.


Fourteen calls relating to agriculture were made by the agent.


Enrolling to keep Farm Records, such as Farm In- ventories, Farm Accounts, and Poultry. Accounts were women.


In the Agricultural Conservation Program for 1937 there were eleven men enrolled and five are expected to receive payments. These men will recieve a propor- tionate amount of some $25,000 earned this year by county farmers, depending on the size of farm and amount of conservation work carried out by each in- dividual.


Meetings held in the town were on Agricultural Con- servation.


Norwell men and women have also attended many meetings country-wide in nature.


One dairyman is a member of the Dairy Herd Im- provement Association.


HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK


There were two organized groups in home manage- ment and one in parent education. A demonstration on food selection was given.


Many Norwell women attended the series of meetings on home ground improvement held in Hanover.


Additional help along various lines has been given by letter, telephone, office call or home visit.


CLUB WORK


A food club was organized in Norwell this last year which proved to be very successful under the leader- ship of Miss Choris Jenkins.


Several boys and girls enrolled as garden club mem- bers. These club members were visited by the County Club Agent and each had his or her garden scored.
