WILLIAM J. LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY Budget for 1943
Librarians $100.00
Books and supplies 200.00
$300.00
We are asking this year for an increase in our appropriation on account of the larger demands made upon us under present conditions. A considera- ble number of new families have moved into the district this year who are using the library constantly, and the people in general are reading much more than formerly. Many new readers are coming to us, too, from up Grove Street, from Assinnippi and from Queen Anne's Corner. Our circula- tion has grown from 2422 to 2810, and the increase in the demands on the library is much greater than these figures show for the growth of the school library has somewhat lessened the requirements of the younger people and our readers are now more largely adults. When they have exhausted our supply of books they like, they do not grow up into another class and so find a new set of books waiting for them. They need new ones.
It will be impossible to meet these new demands with the appropriation we have now. I spend a great deal of time looking up bargains on used books in catalogs and in Boston, but there is a limit, and we shall have to spend more if we are to keep up the work we are doing now and which I feel is well worth while. It is much appreciated. Both men and women tell me over and over that now since they cannot get out as usual it means everything to them to be able to look forward to a good book in the even- ings or when they get a little leisure. And we give them a very good class of books, much better than they would get at the average circulating library or in most of the magazines on the news stalls. We also circulate a good deal of non-fiction which helps create an intelligent public opinion.
This year, too, we shall have some expenses which we did not have last year. Our catalog has outgrown its case, which was too small anyway, and as I am keeping it up to date, each book added means two cards and often three. We shall have to get another case. We need also dim-out shades, for the makeshifts we are using will not last much longer. And a considerable
67
TOWN OF NORWELL
number of our books for the primary grades will have to be repaired or replaced. When the State Department did our cataloging, they had 100 books repaired for us by a W.P.A. unit, but they cannot do this now and we shall have to pay for own repairs. With an extra $100 we can do a good piece of work in all these directions.
The addition to the "Librarians" fund is needed to take care of the summer afternoon sessions which I handled last summer alone as an ex- periment. The experiment was justified by the good use of the library which was made during those extra hours.
Very truly yours, PAULINE W. LEONARD
REPORT OF NORWELL COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY
During the year 1942 Norwell's Defense Organization was trebled in size and firmly established as a going institution. It now occupies a position of major importance in the mind of the entire community. Tremendous impetus was given it, of course, by the declaration of war in December 1941. But even without that impetus the growth of the movement was inevitable. Thoroughly alive to the gathering clouds of a world crisis Norwell started the effort for Civilian Defense as early as June 1940. An active, if relatively small, organization already was hard at work by the time of the Pearl Harbor attack and of the United States' subsequent entry into the Second World War.
At the very beginning of the year 1942 the defense organization suf- fered a severe loss and the entire community was saddened by the death, on January 26th, of Irving R. Henderson. A member of Norwell's original Committee on Public Safety, Chairman of its Protection Division and the town's first Chief Warden, Irving Henderson had been a leading spirit and a tireless worker in the whole movement for Defense. But the efforts of those who replaced him were furthered by the example he had set of energy and devotion. Despite his loss the work went on. On February 11th Paul Skelding who, with Deputy Chief Warden Donald Porter and with Raymond Beach, had been carrying on the duties of the position during Mr. Hender- son's illness, was appointed Chief Warden. Donald Porter continued in his former role of Deputy Chief Warden.
In the interests of general efficiency as well as to take advantage of better facilities offered, the Executive Committee voted, on February 26th, to remove the Report Center from No. 1 Fire House to the room in the Town Office Building formerly occupied by the First Aid Department. The First Aid Division was moved into the more suitable space offered by the large Committee Room in the same building. The new quarters were re- vamped and provided with complete fixtures and equipment for the efficient operation of the two different departments. Much of the equipment and most of the work involved in these changes were contributed by members of the Defense organization and by interested townspeople of Norwell. It should be noted here that not for one minute, day or night, has the Report Center been without one, and usually two, operators in constant attendance since it was first set up, over a year ago. For that record Mrs. Ralph Gordon, Donald Porter and the others responsible deserve a very great deal of credit.
In the High School Auditorium, on June 1st, were held the graduating exercises of the first men's Defense School which had been in weekly session since December 15th. The Commencement was made an occasion to which the entire town was invited. Mrs. Brackett, wife of an officer in the armed forces, who had been at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, was the principal
68
NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
speaker. Insignia were awarded and all who had competed the twenty-hour course in First Aid were given the Standard certificate by the Red Cross. Later in the summer additional classes for women wardens were conducted by Mrs. Blanchard Ford, formerly a member of the Women's Defense Corps and, to supplement the Medical Department, an ambulance unit was organ- ized by Mrs. R. D. McMullan, also a former member of the M.W.D.C. The Women's Defense Corps further contributed to Norwell's defense organiza- tion by lending the services of Mrs. John Sparrell who assembled and trained a highly efficient Canteen group. As an outgrowth of Louis Osberg's hard-working wardens of District No. 6 a new branch of the Fire Depart- ment was organized, on March 26th, to provide fire protection for the Church Hill section of the town. Thanks to Captain Sam Sylvester, who gave his garage for the nucleus of the new fire house, and to the interest, generosity and hard work of the men of Church Hill, Combination No. 3, with two pieces of the town's apparatus, is now firmly established-an im- portant and badly needed addition to Norwell's Fire Department.
All of these additions raised to well over three hundred the member- ship of Norwell's Civilian Defense. The organization now includes well- trained workers in all departments-fire, police, wardens, medical, messen- ger service, engineering, canteen, bomb reconnaissance, and decontamination squads besides the Defense Committee, itself, and the several Staff officers.
Throughout the year black-outs and practice alerts, instigated by the town as well as by the Region and the State, have been held frequently and Defense workers have performed their duties with ever-increasing confidence and efficiency. On November 1st the Norwell Committee on Public Safety conducted an all-day demonstration of Civilian Defense a demonstration with real bombs, full equipment and performed under conditions planned to simulate, as nearly as possible, the frightful ordeal of an actual air raid. The maneuvers were designed to include all departments and to test the preparations made by Evacuation Officer Humphrey Turner for the evacua- tion of stricken areas of the town and by Transportation Officer Lyman Wadsworth for the removal of refugees. It was, by far, the most compre- hensive and most ambitious undertaking thus far attempted. Mr. W. C. Sweetman, of the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety, under whose supervision the explosives and incendiaries were dealt with, described, with the aid of an amplifier, each step of the proceedings to the townspeople who had gathered to observe the very instructive demonstration. The complete success of the undertaking was due, in large measure, to Mr. Ralph H. Coleman who planned the details and who, continuously, has filled the difficult office of Chairman of the Defense Committee. The demonstration showed conclusively and most gratifyingly the results that have been achieved through long months of hard work.
Associated with Civilian Defense and directed by the Salvage Officer, Mr. W. O. Henderson, was the collection of scrap material. Under such agencies as the Grange, the Auxiliary Police, the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Church Hill Fire Department as well as by independent individuals, rubber, paper, silk and nylon and over a hundred tons of metals have been salvaged.
The Social Service Division, under its Chairman, Rev. A. J. Wilson, organized the preparation and shipping of Christmas packages to the Nor- well men in the armed services. A fund of over $200. was raised and, through it and the hard work of Mrs. John Sparrell and her Canteen group who made the fruit cakes, well stuffed boxes went, for Christmas, to all Norwell Service men on each of the far-flung fronts of the war.
Because of the impossibility of anticipating the funds that might be required in the emergency work of Defense the Committee on Public Safety asked the Advisory Board only for an amount it knew could be the minimum appropriation-$500. Almost immediately an unforeseen call for $250., Nor- well's quota toward the installation of emergency equipment at the Wey-
69
TOWN OF NORWELL
mouth Hospital, took half of that appropriation. Other large items that could not be anticipated made further heavy inroads. Despite these unex- pected outlays, however, the Committee managed to hold the year's total expenditures for Defense to $786.17. A complete statement of Defense expenditures is printed elsewhere in the Annual Report.
On October 22nd Paul Skelding, because of poor health, was obliged to relinquish the very arduous duties his position demanded and, on Novem- ber 17th, Deputy Donald Porter was appointed Chief Warden in his stead. Paul Skelding was made Chairman of Publicity to replace Mr. Edwin S. Parker. Further changes in the Executive Committee were voted on May 25th, when Mrs. Humphrey Turner was appointed to replace Mrs. Ernest Sparrell as Chairman of the Women's Division, and on August 12th, when Alan Virtue replaced James Bennett as Chief of the Auxiliary Police.
The Norwell Committee on Public Safety, at the close of the year 1942, was as follows:
Ralph H. Coleman, Chairman James A. Liddell, Deputy Chairman
Women's Division Mrs. Humphrey Turner, Chairman Mrs. Harold King, Deputy Chairman
Protection Division Donald Porter, Chairman Alan Virtue, Deputy Chairman

REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE-1942
During 1942 the Extension Service program has been greatly changed as a result of war-time conditions. At the beginning of this war, food production was immediately recognized as one of the great essentials in combat. Our slogan "Food Will Win the War and Write the Peace" is being brought to a more definite realization as our allied forces assume greater offensives. On the home front, the production of food is becoming a critical item. Therefore, Extension Service programs have been geared to do their important part in the organization and education of the production and preservation of food.
Because of the nature of Extension Service work, as it is conducted for many projects on a county-wide basis, it is difficult to outline specifically all of the benefits that a particular town has derived. More than ever, in 1942 the Extension Service has been called upon to execute a large share of the assignments found necessary to promote the war effort. Through the Plymouth County U. S. D. A. War Board, of which the Extension Service
70
NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
is a principal factor, leaders have been chosen to act in the interest of fellow farmers and for rural people. While many of the committees such as Farm Machinery Rationing, Farm Transportation, and Rural Policy Com- mittees, have not functioned on a town basis, they have indirectly and directly contributed to the welfare of the townspeople. Town War Action Committees were set up early in 1942 in practically every town in Plymouth County to assume responsibility and to organize and promote the assign- ments felt necessary within the town. In the year to come these committees will assume a greater role in furthering the Food Production Program.
Commodity project work for dairy, poultry, fruits, vegetables, forestry, and cranberries are conducted largely on a county-wide or regional basis. The Extension agents plan to distribute these meetings in as many towns as possible so that the work may be brought to the attention of as many people as possible on a practical basis. Farm and home visits are made only to fulfill requests, or where visits promote project work. Travel limitations greatly reduced the number of farm visits, but greater demands were made by telephone and through individual letters. Rural families having use for information released by the Plymouth County Extension Service and the Massachusetts State College Extension Service will find this available upon request to the county office. Three departments in Agriculture, Homemak- ing, and 4-H Club Work, are represented by two agents for each depart- ment. Joint responsibility is often shared for certain projects.
The County Home Demonstration Agents conducted meetings on cloth- ing instruction, food buying, Christmas Greens, Garden Planning, Food Preservation, and Food Storage during the past year. However, the majority of the work was placed on the essential item-food production, preserva- tion, and storage.
Four-H Club projects were carried on in every town offering the possibilities of organized clubs for poultry, dairy, garden, and handicraft for boys. Girls' 4-H club work was available in clothing, food, home fur- nishing, and food preservation. Outstanding work has been accomplished by these departments on a town basis. Much credit is due local leadership in the success of these projects.
The Extension Service work is of such wide scope that the efforts of Extension agents can not be confined to strictly Extension Service activities. Close cooperation is given any worth-while organization which contributes to better family living.
In 1943, the Food Production Program must of necessity require the major part of the Extension Service work. Food is considered a most critical item in the war strategy. Extension agents and leaders will devote long and arduous hours in making sure that this item does not fall short of the essential demands. Each town which contributes to the support of this organization is doing its part to make sure that Democracy shall live and that this educational process of proven value shall endure.

BOARD OF APPEALS REPORT
Board of Selectmen,
Norwell, Mass.
Dear Sirs:
The Board of Appeals for the Town of Norwell on Zoning Laws re- ports one petition in 1942 for a variance in the town zoning laws.
A public hearing was held by the Board of Appeals on August 27, 1942 on the petition of Mr. Marshall W. Grigsby and his wife, Hattie Towler Grigsby to grant them a permit to use the property owned by them on Main St., a residential No. 1 district, for the purpose of operating a riding stable.
The petition was denied. A detailed report of the finding is on file in the Town Offices as prescribed by law.
Respectfully submitted,
HUMPHREY W. TURNER, Chairman HENRY J. TOLMAN CLEMENT R. THOMAS
ASSESSOR'S REPORT
In submitting our report for the year 1942, we wish to call your attention to the fact that this year, as in the past, we show an increase in total valuation, and the number of houses.
The Federal Government has not yet settled for the land taken for the Naval Ammunition Depot, so some land where bounderies are not known is still taxed to the persons who owned prior to the taking. As soon as set- tlement is made with the government, kindly contact the Assessors, that we may adjust our books.
The Assessors, by law, assess a Poll Tax on every male person residing in town on January first, who is twenty years of age or older.
This year the Poll Tax of the men in service will be abated.
Chapter 59, Section 5, Clause 17-A, of the General Laws as revised allows the Assessors to abate the Poll Tax of persons seventy years of age or older, persons on Old Age Assistance or Public Welfare, if they file application for same on or before October first, otherwise Poll Tax must be paid.
We submit the following tabulations for your approval.
