Report of the Fire Department
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Norwell :
The following report is submitted by the Board of Fire Engineers on the activities of the Department during the past year.
Eighty-nine calls were received and are listed as follows:
Grass and Wood Fires 35
Buildings (includes electrical, chimney, oil burners 17
Trailer Fire 1
Town Dump 7
Automobile Fires and Accidents
4
Mutual Aid 3
False Alarm 6
Resuscitator Calls 9
Pump Wells and Cellars (Board of Health) 3
Stand By (Storms and Damaged Power Lines) 3 Lost Child 1
Sixty inspections were made and permits issued for the storage of fuel oil and liquefied gas.
One new 750-GPM combination pumper fire truck was purchased and is now quartered at Company #2, Ridge Hill. Another similar truck is now on order and delivery is expected during the month of March 1957. This truck is to be stationed at Company #1, Norwell Center.
Improvements to the present station at the Center are necessary in order to provide adequate housing facilities for the new truck, an approved heating system and a minimum amount of proper storage space for other equipment.
Alarm actuating fire warning devices have been installed in each station and insurance coverage on equipment and buildings has been increased, with the thought in mind that all possible protection should be given the Town's investment in fire fighting equipment. Also, more protection has been afforded members of the Department through improved insur- ance coverage.

TOWN OF NORWELL
Report of the Norwell Visiting Nurse Association, Inc.
To the Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen :
At the close of another active year the officers and board members feel that much has been accomplished in bringing health services to the Town of Norwell.
Our three most important services are the Well Child Con- ference, the High School Dental Clinic, and Home Nursing Care.
The Well Child Conference, under the supervision of Dr. Alice Butler, continues to be the most popular clinic. Approx- imately 150 babies have been examined and mothers advised during the past year. As the number of appointments is limited to ten, four additional clinics have been needed to take care of the demand.
Mrs. Harold King and Mrs. Thomas Barstow assist Dr. Butler. Mrs. Ernest Haskins is chairman of transportation for all clinics.
The High School Dental Clinic, under the supervision of Dr. Donald Parsons, is another service of which we are very proud. This organization pays Dr. Parsons' salary and for all dental supplies, plus repairs of dental equipment. The fees paid by the children are used toward the cost of supplies.
Mrs. Charles Rounds is chairman of dental assistants, Mrs. James Hall, Mrs. Edward Cunningham, Mrs. Dennis Mederos, and Mrs. Robert Wilson.
Under Home Nursing Care, Miss Catherine Roe is assisted by Mrs. Mildred Wilcox, who relieves for vacation and by the day whenever needed.
Miss Roe has attended the following lectures sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Cerebral Palsy, The Role of the Public Health Nurse in Cere- bral Palsy, Epilepsy, Muscular Dystrophy, The Role of the Nurse in Epilepsy and Muscular Dystrophy, Body Alignment and Positioning of the Patient, Multiple Sclerosis, and The Role of the Nurse in Multiple Sclerosis.
Miss Roe and Mrs. Kenneth McLennon assisted the Board of Health with the series of Salk Vaccine shots.
80
ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
All board members helped with the TB X-ray Survey. 419 people were X-rayed. Mr. Frederick A. Small was general chairman and was assisted by a very competent staff from the High School.
Two board members resigned during the year, Mrs. Frank Donovan and Mrs. Frank Barron Sr.
New members elected at the Annual Meeting were Mrs. Charles Rounds and Mrs. Ernest W. Haskins, Jr. Mrs. Gentry Clark was voted a new Associate Member.
We offer a Norwell High Senior a Scholarship to a School of Nursing. This year it was presented to Miss Diane Hegener.
Mr. James Barnard, administrator of transportation, pur- chased a new car for our nursing service last spring.
The budget for the year 1957 is $5000.00, which is raised by the two rummage sales and the Annual Drive for Member- ship.
The Annual Drive, with Mrs. Theodore Dyer as chairman, Mrs. Earle F. Allen as treasurer, and Mrs. Robert Mederos as publicity chairman, has gone way ahead of other years. New people were contacted with the result that 225 families have contributed, 41 of these are new families. The amount re- ceived up to the date of this report is $600.00. We are very grateful to all who have become members of the association.
The last rummage sale in November was the most success- ful ever, netting $1569.24. This success is due to everyone in the town of Norwell, all who work, all who give, and all who buy. We thank you.
The Annual Meeting and Tea will be held at the Parish House, Norwell Center, on March 6th at 2:30 pm. All are urged to attend. Mrs. Clarke Atwater is General Chairman of the Tea.
I refer you to the following financial report of the Treas- urer, to Miss Roe's report, and Dr. Donald Parsons' report of the Dental Clinic.
For Nursing Service, call Norwell 5-M before 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

TOWN OF NORWELL
Report of School Dental Clinic
Norwell Visiting Nurse Association Mrs. Ernest Sparrell, President Norwell, Massachusetts
Dear Mrs. Sparrell :
Work in the dental clinic in the upper grades has pro- gressed in the usual manner with some exceptions.
This year, the Senior Class were all given individual dental health conferences, instead of the usual survey type of exam- ination.
This was more time consuming, but it is hoped that its benefits will prove worth the effort.
The time has now arrived when we should do a little long- range planning on the future of the dental programs in the Norwell Schools.
I believe that shortly, representatives from the Board of Health, the School Committee, the Norwell Visiting Nurse Association and interested members from the dental profes- sion, should meet and discuss the aims, objectives and plans of such a program.
Respectfully submitted, D. W. PARSONS, D.M.D.

Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent's Report for 1956
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell :
The Tree Warden's and Moth Superintendent's appropria- tions were used this year for the various phases of tree work and insect control.
Approximately seventy (70) elm trees were removed from the roadsides this year, sixty (60) of which were positive cases of Dutch Elm Disease, the rest being in such poor condi- tion as to be considered hazardous to the general public. Based on past observations and the condition of remaining elms in the vicinity we can expect more Dutch Elm Disease in the future rather than less.
There were about 1500 acres of spot aerial spraying for the control of gypsy moth done in Norwell this year. This was done by the state with the cooperation of your Moth Department.
Due to Dutch Elm Disease, road building, new streets, and removal of decayed and hazardous trees there is need for new shade planting in Norwell. Next year's plans are for about fifty (50) new trees of various varieties to be planted in dif- ferent sections of Norwell.
Respectfully submitted,
WESLEY H. OSBORNE, JR.

TOWN OF NORWELL
Report of the Washington Street Cemetery Committee
To the Selectmen and Residents of the Town of Norwell :
The Washington Street Cemetery Committee reports that they carried out their plans of upkeep for the past year.
Again this year we wish to say to all legal residents of our town that any member of the Cemetery Committee would be glad to assist them in selecting a resting place therein.
We have about seventy-five neighbors who pay the town yearly for the care of their family lots. Many plan to put per- petual care on these lots and in so doing know that after they have gone to rest, their lot will be taken care of. Your com- mittee has seen unexpected events change these plans. Why don't you take care of this now ? Don't put it off. See it done in reality. The committee will be glad to talk this over with you.
During the year of our Lord 1956, 20 of our neighbors and friends were laid to rest.
To those who believe in a Hereafter, we recommend for consideration that they read Victor Hugo's thoughts in his poem, "Immortality of the Soul."
"For half a century I have been writing my thoughts in prose and in verse, history, philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode and song: I have tried all, but I feel I have not said the thousandth part of what is in me. When I go down to the grave I can say like many others-I have finished my day's work; But I cannot say, I have finished my life. My day's work will begin again the next morning.
The tomb is not a blind alley,
It is a thoroughfare, It closes on twilight, it opens on the dawn."
Your committee wishes to thank you for the privilege of serving you and thank all for their cooperation in keeping our cemetery a credit to the community.
Respectfully submitted,
RICHARD H. BROOKS WILLIAM JACOBS STEWART BOWKER

The Recreation Commission's First Annual Report
To the Citizens of Norwell :
On September 12, 1955, it was voted under Article #7, of the Special Town Meeting, that a RECREATION COMMIS- SION be appointed by the. Selectmen. The purpose of the Commission was to exercise all the power conferred by Chap- ter 45, General Laws, including the right to acquire land and buildings within the town by gift, purchase, lease, and eminent domain, for a public playground or recreation center, and to conduct and promote recreation. The members of the com- mission were appointed by letter, January 13, 1956.
The Recreational Survey Committee's twenty year plan, published in the 1954 Town Report, has served as a guide for the development of facilities and a program.
Volunteer Services: Although recreation became a func- tion of Norwell Town government on January 13, 1956, the recreation services of private agencies have always played an
88

important role. As a matter of record, for future comparison, it might be of interest to give a few statistics for the year 1955, since it is customary to compare municipal data at every five- year period.

It is apparent that scouting for boys and scouting for girls varied considerably. A study of the situation might have brought out interesting conclusions which in turn would have called for realignment. Research is an important part of the duty of the Recreation Commission.
Baseball: In the summer of 1955 the number of partici- pants was as follows :
Little League 45 Pony League 20
Farm League 30 Junior Legion League 16
A total of 111 youth under volunteer leadership, which, including coaching and transporting out of town, was a big assignment. Due to the construction of a new school building at Ridge Hill Grove matters were much worse in the summer of 1956. The only baseball field available was at the High School. The jungle of windblown pine at the backstop of the High School field was a distinct hazard. The so-called base- ball field at the Elementary School was not fit to play upon. Although Hanover was generous in sharing its facilities, it was hardly fair to their youth.
Basketball: The American Legion sponsored two pro- grams. Saturday mornings (1955) found 60 participants from Grades VI to X at the High School. Wednesday nights, the American Legion had 15-24 adult participants. Volley ball was included.
Tennis: 20 teenagers were instructed in tennis by Mrs. Louis Scheller. However, this was only for Church Hill youth. "Church Hillers" sponsored the program.

TOWN OF NORWELL
WATER SPORTS
Swimming : Children were transported out-of-town to Scituate Beaches for instruction by the Red Cross. It is esti- mated that the cost of transportation and fees paid for instruc- tion in swimming for Norwell youth taken out of Town would pay the salary of a local instructor. Besides, classes were over-crowded and little individual attention could be given.
Sailing: Classes organized for youngsters in July, 1956, numbered some 32 individuals. They were sponsored by the North River Boat Club.
Fishing Derby: The annual fishing derby is sponsored by the Norwell Rod and Gun Club at Poor's Pond. In June, 1954, there were 97 entries, 24 girls and 73 boys.
Boating: All classes were held at the High School. In 1955, there were 4 classes, for 130 individuals.

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Conclusion: The large number participating in Sports and Fine Arts Programs will probably surprise many readers. Citizens should realize that Norwell ranks high in recreational opportunities which are dependent upon volunteers. How- ever, it must not be taken for granted that because we now have a Recreation Commission that volunteer work is no longer needed. Volunteers will always be an important part of the Recreation Program. It is also true that all organizations rendering service in recreation can use more volunteer lead- ers, and may we add that there is a place for every citizen to offer his skills and education in our recreational activities.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Play without guidance is often destructive. It should never be claimed that recreation prevents or cures delinquency. However, the police and probation officers often turn to the municipal recreation department. The chief probation officer for juveniles for Plymouth County has recently stated that the cost of confining serious juvenile offenders in public institu- tions is about $3500 per year per inmate, or about twice as much as the cost of a year in college. From 1950 to 1956, the rate of new commitments for boys has increased 44.5% ; for girls it has increased 102.2% for the same period. The Massa- chusetts Legislature (Chapter 133, Acts of 1956) authorized and directed the Division of Youth Service to make a study of the feasibility of grants to towns for the prevention and con- trol of juvenile delinquency. Your Recreation Commission has cooperated in this study. Recommendations, if any, with drafts of legislation will be filed in the House of Representa- tives in March, 1957.
PLAYFIELDS: Our three schools have a total acreage of 58 8 acres, but not one school ground measures up to standard. The High School has two baseball diamonds which overlap and make it unsafe for more than one game at a time. The Grace Farrar Cole School has a newly seeded diamond which will not be available until the spring of 1958.
At the urging of the Recreation Commission the School Committee improved the playground of the Norwell Elemen- tary School by moving the backstop about 30 feet, clearing the outfield of trees and boulders, and leveling the ground. It is still a sub-standard diamond with a soft-sand surface and balls are lost in the ravine. Having a play area for little chil- dren and baseball field in common is a serious hazard. The school grounds should be brought up to standard by acquiring a separate field to the north of the brook. The terrain of this locality can easily be adapted with a good turf.
91
TOWN OF NORWELL
Norwell also has two non-school recreation areas which are undeveloped. Gaffield Park is 8 acres of unimproved for- est, bounded by Forest Avenue, River, and Forest Streets. It was given the Town (1895) by Thomas Gaffield as a Children's Park The North River Garden Club has attempted to enlist organizations to unite in reclaiming the Park. The Jacobs Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, in keeping with the Will of Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, was deeded to the Town by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. The Recre- ation Commission plans to develop this 63 acre tract, with trails and proper signs. As the Commission sees it, the great- est and most immediate need is a community playfield. Negotia- tions have been carried on throughout the year with the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities as to acquiring the 16 acres (by gift, lease, or purchase) which are located south of Main Street, opposite Jacobs Lane. At the Special Town Meeting on November 14th, the Commission was authorized to carry out an agreement for the acquisition of this tract. The Legislature has been petitioned, through Rep- resentative T. Clark Perkins, to allow the Town to assume liability in case the Society decides to lease the property. The Commission is in hopes that complications will be avoided by an outright gift as was the intent of Dr. Jacobs.
The building of 519 new houses in the last decade (1946- 1956) in Norwell has a direct relation to the need of new play areas. There should be a playground (1-2 acres for sandbox, etc., as compared with a playfield of 20 acres) within a half- mile walk of every home. The Commission is greatly dis- turbed that no playground was provided by the realtors who set aside the Norwell Homes Development. It is not a good situation to have children playing in the street and leaving their toys there.
INFORMAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE AND RECREATION COMMISSION
At a joint meeting, October 31, 1956, the following agree- ment was reached :
1. That the School Principal have full authority over the use of school buildings and use of school grounds, and that he work closely with the Recreation Director.
2. That the Recreation Director be employed by the Recrea- tion Commission and that he be acceptable to the School Committee.
3. That it is important that the Recreation Director have
92
ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
interest in music, art, dramatics, nature, and camping, as well as in sports. He should have many skills and be sympathetic with a well-rounded program. That he be responsible for recre- ational activities outside of school time, but that in order to secure the maximum return for money expended, that he begin to serve in the school program until such time as full time services are required in non-school hours.
1. School playfields and Buildings may be used evenings, Saturdays, Sundays, vacations, for recreational purposes, pro- viding they do not interfere with school events.
5. A fec may be charged for admission to special events, to pay for part of services, i.e. custodial, and leadership (Ex- ample, basketball).
6. That School buildings be so constructed that where the gymnasium, lunchroom, toilets, showers, coatrooms, etc., are needed, that the rest of the building can be shut off. Rooms may be needed for clubs, such as sewing, crafts, stamps, gar- den, scouts.
7. That School Committee have jurisdiction over school grounds and be responsible for providing sufficient areas, up- keep, and improvement of same.
8. That there be joint planning of the Planning Board, School Committee, and Recreation Commission in the acquisi- tion of school playfields.
