Report of the Board of Selectmen
The new Board of Selectmen met for the first time after Election on February 27, 1951 at 7:30 p. m. The traditional policy of rotation was followed with Ray M. Newell being installed as Chairman, Mr. Leonard J. Davis in the number two spot and Robert N. Turner, Jr. as num- ber three man.
Further improvements at the Town Hall, which had been anticipated, were not carried out during the year be- cause of insufficient funds to completely renovate Prescott Hall. The Board felt that when the job was started it should be completed and we therefore retained the money appropriated at the annual meeting and it is our intention to ask for more money in 1952 so that we may finish this deserving project.
During the year the town became the owner of the Ida Shattuck property on West Street. The decision handed down previously, whereby the town of Pepperell acquired both property and money, was reversed by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts and the town of Pepperell was de- nied the cash settlement. It now remains the problem of the Selectmen to dispose of this property which will pro- bably be done in the spring.
The customary audit of the town books was completed during the year under the supervision of the Department of Corporations and Taxation, Division of Accounts and their complete report appears elsewhere in this record.
One of the most successful projects undertaken in re- cent years, namely the "Chest X-ray Program", while it was primarily a health problem, was handled by your Se- lectmen with a great deal of help from a great many good citizens of the town. In collaboration with the Northern Worcester County Health Assn., a mobile unit was brought to Pepperell for five days. One day was spent X-raying the employees of St. Regis Paper Co. and one day was spent at Bemis Bro. Bag Co. The other three days were devoted to those citizens who worked at neither plant. A total of
9
1219 people received free X-ray. Your Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank all of those voluntary work- ers who made this X-ray such a success.
Another project, so-called, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen is the Civilian De- fense Committee. This committee's report appears else- where in the Town Report but in our estimation they have been altogether too modest. We feel that they have jus- tified our appointments in the progress that they have made so very quietly during the year and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those people whose names appear in the report and to especially thank Mrs. Mary K. Marriner who has given so freely of her time to this worth- while project.
At this time we would like again to thank all appointed and elected officers for their cooperation and loyal service to the town during the year 1951,

Report of Pepperell District Nurse
I hereby submit my report of District Nurse service for the year 1951.
A total of 2,094 home visits were made. These in- clude bedside nursing when needed, prenatal and new- born instruction and new born care, clinic appointments for crippled children, rheumatic fever, speech defects, and for chest x-rays.
The annual immunization clinics sponsored by the Board of Health were held at the High School. Dr. Por- ter was in charge. The triple antigens were given, also booster doses of plain diphtheria and tetnus toxoid. - 117 children were treated on March 27th, 46 on April 20th and 33 on May 16th. Nursing Board members assisted with transportation and records.
Well child clinics were held in March, April, May, September, October, and November. Eleven babies were immunized during the fall clinics. Miss Almeda King, State Nutritionist, attended all these clinics. She made home visits to any patients who were on special diets. Her serv- ices are most valuable. I hope soon to have her give a few lessons to a group of mothers.
The pre-school clinic was held in June. Dr. Porter was in charge. Each child was given a thorough physical ex- amination and vaccination if requested. As a result of vision tests, five children were wearing glasses when school opened.
After many conferences with Northern Worcester Seal Sale office, preparations were made for community x-rays in July. Due to the cooperation and hard work of the large committee this proved a great success. 1219 per- sons were x-rayed, 16 required a second film, and a few re- quired further study. Follow up visits were made. This was a worthwhile project.
20
Twenty-two appointments were made for patients to have x-rays at Ayer or Waltham. A total of 85 visits were made by me in behalf of the tuberculosis program.
Forty visits were made to Crippled Children. Arrange- ments for lip reading lessons were made for two pupils at Lowell.
The Dental Program has been continued. Most pupils in the school system and many pre-school children have had dental work done.
I have had many conferences with Dr. Swaim to help set up adequate medical plans for Civilian Defense in case disaster should strike. Much has been accomplished and all doctors and nurses have been most helpful.
I have had conferences with the Selectmen, the Board of Public Welfare, and social agencies. Dr. Burke and his staff have been most helpful.
Mrs. Donald Gagnon and Mrs. Richard Lorden re- placed me during vacation.
I enjoyed my work and have had splendid coopera- tion from all doctors, Nursing Board members, and Mrs. Saunders has been most efficient in handling my calls.
Respectfully submitted,
ELLEN E. DEE, R. N.

Town Clerk's Report
In submitting to the citizens of Pepperell my report, I would ask all those interested to examine the following records carefully, and if any errors or omissions are noted that they be at once reported in writing to the Town Clerk so that the records may be perfected.
Any error in the record, other than a mistake in copy- ing a certificate or return, can be corrected only in accord- ance with a deposition, under oath, made by one who was required by law to furnish the information for the original record, or by three or more credible persons having knowl- edge of the same. (See Revised Laws. Chapter 29, Sec- tion 9 and 16.)

RECORDING OF BIRTHS
Births occurring late in the year are sometimes re- corded without the Christian name. In all such cases par- ents should return the name to the Town Clerk as soon as it is selected in order that it may be entered upon the town books, as an incompleteness of the records may involve much trouble in the future.
Read the Law
Parents within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder within forty days after a birth in its house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born. General Laws, Chap- ter, 46, Section 6.

It is not only an act of civilization to register birth certificates but good business, for they are frequently used in many practical ways, some of which are listed below :
