As will be seen by this chart, the largest number of cases reported are Measles and Scarlet Fever cases.
Report of Katherine E. Kingman, Public Health Nurse:
During the year 1932, there were forty-five clinic days. Two hundred and sixty-four patients visited the clinic, one hundred of these were new cases and twelve of these were found positive, eight were sent to the Sanitarium, five to Norfolk County Sanitarium, and three to Westfield. The cases that went to Westfield were children, two with a hilum tubercular condition, one with adult pulmonary. One of the Sanitarium patients

has returned home as an arrested case. Two cases of 1931; one with a tubercular lung abcess and one with a tubercular eye also returned home as cured.
There have been fewer cases of hilum T. B. among children this year, this, it is felt is due to the fact that the children who are under weight and contacts, are followed very closely by (the) Dr. Griffin's clinic. These children are recommended by school nurses and doctors.
The clinic has increased in number this year owing to the fact that people are taking more advantage of this excellent work which is being done by Dr. Griffin. Nearly two-thirds of these patients are recommended by our doctors, the remainder by nurses and friends.
One of the out-of-town clinics established a year ago has been discon- tinued, therefore these patients have the privilege of returning to our clinic.
Report of T. J. Curtin, Dental Clinic:
The close of the school year in June, 1932, saw the close of the Dental Clinic in its old quarters at the Beacon School. New quarters were ob- tained at the Junior High School, thereby placing the clinic in a more central location to the advantage of the greater number of children:
The report of the clinic for the year ending December 31, 1932, is as follows:
Number of children examined 1450
Number needing attention
1157
Number completed at clinic 731
Number incomplete
111
Board of Public Welfare (adult patients) 4
Number treated at clinic 846
The Milk Inspector, Willis Hoyt, reports the following:
Upon taking over the duties of Milk Inspector in November, an examni- nation of the records kept at the Board of Health office by Dr. Mulvehill revealed that 43 samples of Milk and Cream had been analyscd for per cent of butter fat, total in solids, and in some instances bacteria count and keeping quality. In all 22 samples of pasteurized milk were examined for bacteria count and eight samples of raw milk. None of these samples showed a count of over 10,000 per c. c. the average being 3700 per c. c. which is exceptionally low.
Since taking office 43 samples have been analysed for per cent of butter fat, total solids, and in many instances keeping quality and sediment.
Twelve dairies maintained in a limited way where one, two, or three cows are kept and less than twenty quarts daily sold were inspected after applications were filed as a result of a questionnairesent toall owning cattle known to have no permit or license to sell. As a result of this check, two owners were required to file applications to have their animals tested for
223
tuberculosis and one was forbidden to sell milk until such time as sanitary requirements of the Board of Health were met. The remainder will be granted permits.
Attention of owners of Stores was also called to our regulations con- cerning handling of milk and cream in stores.
The Inspector of Plumbing, Mr. John A. Shannon, reports that he has made 77 inspections for the year 1932.
In closing the Board wishes to state that during the year of 1932 they kept within their Budget as set up, and had a balance December 31, 1932, of $1,784.71.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD L. ALDEN, Chairman Board of Health, WILLIAM P. NICKERSON, CHARLES L. LYNCH, M.D.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The Norwood Board of Public Welfare submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1932.
Owing to the economic situation, there has been a decided increase in the number needing aid during the year. Many families have been obliged to seek assistance, some to supplant a week's wage, others tem- porarily till employment was resumed. The family groups varied in num- bers from two to ten.
Under a "Work for Your Aid" policy which was put into effect by the Board on March 5, all able-bodied men were required to work for a certain number of days each week governed by the amount of aid received.
Commencing September 3, through the generosity and cooperation of public-spirited citizens a group of men from the Welfare Department was allowed to cut wood on private property. This wood was delivered to recipients of aid, thereby saving the Town the expense of this type of fuel.
In cutting this wood, the land was cleared and the brush burned, thereby improving property and reducing the hazard of forest fires.

REPORT OF RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Mr. C. A. Bingham, Town Manager,
Norwood, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Bingham:
The 1932 playground season for children was operated from July 5th to August 27th inclusive. The grounds open for supervised play were: Callahan, Civic, Elks, Balch, Shattuck and Morse Pond.
The last named was this year maintained as a playground as well as a swimming pool which necessitated using another director. This plan re- lieved the congestion at the Balch playground to a great extent.
The program carried on was based on the general plan of the National Rec- reation Association with special provisions for local needs. Athletics were . run which were instructive and recreational for boys and girls of all ages. This year a greater number than at any previous time participated. Base- ball, track, tennikoit, swimming, fist ball, horseshoe pitching and tumbling were included. Dancing, handwork, costume making and a number of children's activities were seen daily on the grounds. The idea that a playground is only for the athletically minded is certainly a fallacy. Through the efforts of the Advisory Board directors were obtained who were fitted to "put over" a program of educational recreation, and as our close followers will agree, they did it.
The cost of operation of the grounds was $3307.29. Although a greater amount was provided in the budget the maintenance account for neces- sary care and repairs cut the proposed budget to the above figure. The approximate number of people served by this appropriation was 2000.
A feature of this seasons work was the beginning of a twi-light baseball league for young men. Over 100 different entries were made and 40 games played. These teams were organized and games run off by the men directors of the playgrounds. The season was divided into halves and the winners of each half played off for the championship. Each Tuesday and Thursday cvenings the Balch, High School, Civic, Elks and Morse dia- monds were scenes of the new endeavor. No game was forfeited, a lively interest being maintained. It certainly behooves a forward looking movement in Norwood's recreation to look to opening the grounds for adults as well as children's work during the summer at least. With this year twi-league as a nucleus the foundation is well laid for a more com- prchensive system.
Tennis has advanced in Norwood steadily during the past few years. This year 62 men entered the men's singles tournament, 32 the ladies and 15 the childrens. The courts are operated previous to and following the regular season. It is also to be noted that the speed of the game has greatly improved.
227
The playgrounds closed by a demonstration and parade. A year ago the children were disappointed in this promised treat of marching with the Legion Band. (At the time the prevalence of infantile paralysis in this section prompted our Board of Health to advise no gatherings for children.) This wait was not in vain for the good friends of the Legion appeared in full regalia and a colorful array of floats, costumes and happy children paraded through Norwood to the Civic field, there to dance and play for the hundreds of parents and friends assembled.
This year we have had more visitors to our grounds and we feel a keener interest in the work has been taken. This is perhaps most noticeable at the Callahan School playground. The evening program there is already headed for an ideal and if the diligence of the leaders is maintained, it will surely be realized.
In the face of existing circumstances some may have thought a play- ground appropriation a burden but the parents and close observers will agree the amount expended far more than pays. The children, the parents, the twi-leaguers all bear witness to the fact that wholesome recreation is worth while.
The work could not have been done without the untiring work of the Advisory Board and the assistance given by the Manager, the Superintend- ent of Public Works and many other town employees who volunteered to assist in every way possible. It certainly is gratifying to work where the spirit is undeniably sincere.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPHINE A. COGAN, Supervisor of Playgrounds

REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The Board of Assessors herewith submit their annual report together with the statement of valuations as determining the tax levy for the year 1932.
Organization
On February 9, 1932, William J. Dalton was appointed by the Selectmen as Assessor to fill the unexpired term of Kenneth Mckenzie, deceased.

Assistant Assessors
On March 31, 1932, Robert B. Oldham, John P. Welch, George L. Banks, James E. Roache, Harry J. Conlon and Fred E. Glaser were ap- pointed assistant assessors by the Board under the authority of the Town Meeting to serve for the period of thirty days or such shorter period as the Board of Assessors may determine.
