Gypsy Moth and Dutch Elm Disease Control Report
Specimens from trees suspected of having the Dutch Elm Disease were sent to the University of Massachusetts for test. From these specimens 33 elm trees were found diseased. All trees were cut and burnt, along with 12 other dead ones.
1393 Gypsy Moth egg clusters were found. This was a decided reduction over last year, particularly along the northern border of the town adjacent to the area sprayed by the State for the control of Gypsy Moth.
All road-side trees were sprayed for Gypsy Moth and Elm Tree beetles during the month of May.

1954 was another year of growth and change for the Wilbraham Public Library.
Growth is reflected in the purchase of two new encyclopedias and the many new books we have been able to place in circulation, more built-in shelving, the round study table in the reference room, an easy

chair or two, and new benches and tables now on order for the chil- dren's room.
The most significant change is in service, for the Library is now open every week-day evening from 7-9 in addition to the afternoon hours on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The year has seen the completion of most of the plans outlined in 1952 when we moved into the larger area, and we are proud of the result. We hope you are, too.
Think not, however, that naught remains to be done before our project is completed. There is an enclosed lavatory which presents an unsolved problem in ventilation, and much of our office equipment back in the workroom in the old town vault is sadly antiquated. We hope to do something about both of these matters in 1955.
Through the year, the Wilbraham Garden Clubs have continued to make the rooms more pleasant with their plants and flower ar- rangements. We again thank them sincerely as we do the Community Service Committee of the Grange for its check and many of our townspeople for their gifts of books and magazines.
When you read the list of expenditures, you will find a number of new people on our staff of "Assistants." We have indeed been for- tunate to have so many skillful helpers, as we continue to be for- tunate in the service of our Librarian, Miss Ruth Abbott.
The removal of the old fire house and the consequent resurfacing of the driveway should soon give us off the street parking space. We'd like to see your car there in 1955.
