TOWN OF NORWOOD
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
The Norwood Board of Public Welfare submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1947.
The present Board was appointed by the Board of Selectmen on May 6, 1947. Mr. Alonzo F. Swift, Jr., was made Chairman at a regular Welfare meeting on May 13, 1947.
A summary of the active General Relief cases as of December 31, 1947, and the number of persons represented follows this report.
It can be noted that the number of A.D.C. cases has decreased considerably during the year, the monthly average being 24.
General Relief cases due to unemployment conditions were not increased appre- ciably during the year, as the industries in the vicinity of Norwood experienced no extended shut-downs.
Due to the general increase in the cost of living, budget adjustments were made during the year.
This increase applied to all persons in family groups.
Boarding rates were on a higher level also.
The housing situation continues to be acute, but because of the good co-operation of all landlords no serious difficulties were encountered.
The distribution of surplus commodities by the W.P.A. Surplus Commodity Division has practically ceased. There were, however, three shipments of potatoes received during the year.
The Town Clerk and Accountant's report found elsewhere in this book shows in detail the expenditures and receipts of the Welfare Department.
The Welfare Board expresses their appreciation to all persons, societies and Town Departments who have co-operated with the Department during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
ALONZO F. SWIFT, JR., Chairman, J. J. McGARRY, MARTIN J. FOLEY, Norwood Board of Public Welfare.

REPORT OF BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
The Norwood Bureau of Old Age Assistance herewith submits the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1947.
From the monthly summary listed below it can be noted that there has been throughout the year a steady increase in the number of cases.

Reasons for persons applying for Old Age Assistance during 1947 are listed below:
Transferred from other cities and towns
5
Income insufficient for needs
1
Unable to follow gainful employment
9
Supplementing Social Security Benefits
4
Relatives unable to provide for medical needs
4
Depletion of savings or other resources
2
Relatives unable to support
5
Supplementing pensions from Industrial plants
2
During the year the State Department of Public Welfare made budgetary revisions due to the increased cost of living. This necessitated the rebudgeting of Old Age Assistance cases. Changes also were made in Department rules and policies dealing with the administration of Old Age Assistance. There were, however, no basic changes in the elegibility qualifications for Old Age Assistance during the year 1947.
The Federal Government continues to render cash Grants to the Town on a per- centage basis for Old Age Assistance and also including monthly administrative Grants.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts also shares the expenses of the cost of Old Age Assistance with the Town.
Thus Old Age Assistance is a three-way financial responsibility. The Administra- tive work of Old Age Assistance is carried out by the local Town Government.
The Town Clerk and Accountant's report gives a detailed list of expenditures on account of Old Age Assistance and also lists the receipts of Federal Grants in Aid, money from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and reimbursement from various Cities and Towns.
Respectfully submitted, ALONZO F. SWIFT, JR., Chairman, J. J. McGARRY, MARTIN J. FOLEY, Norwood Bureau of Old Age Assistance.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
· REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
Mr. Edward C. Monahan, General Manager, Town of Norwood, Norwood, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
The Board of Health submits the following report for the year 1947:
At a meeting of the Board of Health held on February 19, 1947, Mr. John P. Dixon was elected Chairman of the Board for the year. Mr. James F. Foley and Dr. Charles L. Lynch continued to serve as members of the Board. Regular Board meetings were held throughout the year to take care of various matters coming to the attention of the Board, the Health Office or the Agent, Mr. Bartley J. King.
The following is the report of Miss Frances McDonough, nurse at St. Catherine's Parochial School, Norwood, Mass.
It is a privilege to present my first annual report explaining my program at St. Catherine's School.
School Physician
Dr. Thomas H. O'Toole visited the school on two days of each week and examined the children recommended for it, plus routine work. This year he examined 379 children and the following defects were noted:
Throats
128
Feet
2
Heart
5
Lungs
0
Speech
4
Seventeen children in our school have had their tonsils out since school started in the fall and many others have appointments to have them removed during the summer vacation.
Diphtheria Control
Because of the many cases of diphtheria in Massachusetts during 1946, a control program was suggested by the Massachusetts Division of Communicable Diseases. With the co-operation and help of Doctor O'Toole and permission of the parents we were able to Schick Test all of the children who had not been tested within the past two years. All positive reactors were given a series of three toxoid injections.
Schick Tested 631
Positive Reactors 121
Toxoid Injections given 202
Tuberculosis Control
This year the Norfolk County Tuberculosis Association took over the control of tuberculosis in our schools and only contact cases and school personnel were X-rayed. We have four contact cases in St. Catherine's and no tuberculosis was found among them.
134
TOWN OF NORWOOD
Communicable Control
The following rules regarding the exclusion of children are still in effect. Children will be excluded for the following reasons:
Temperature under 97 degrees or 99 degrees or over
Skin eruptions - contagious
Evidence of sore throat
Vomiting
Returning to school without a certificate from the doctor after having a com- municable disease.
The following is a list of reported cases of contagious diseases this year:
Scarlet Fever
1
Chicken Pox 22
Measles 3
Pertussis 19
We thank the parents for their fine co-operation in the matter of communicable disease control.

Eye Clinic
Dr. Riemer and Miss Jane O'Sullivan, Public School Nurse, conduct the Eye Clinic each week at the Norwood Junior High School.
Usually we are allowed five appointments each week.
All of the children at St. Catherine's received the Massachusetts Vision Test this year. This test is divided into three parts. Part I is the test for acuity, Part II for hypermetrophia, and Part III for muscular unbalance. Two partial failures in any one part of the test means failure of the test and these children are recommended for examination by an eye doctor.

The Tuberculosis Clinic is held on every Thursday at five o'clock P.M. at Room 11, Municipal Building, Norwood, Mass., under the direction of Dr. Walter A. Griffin. This is purely a diagnostic clinic, no medication is given and no charges made.
As a result of the Industrial X-Ray Clinic conducted by the State Department of Public Health during the year all tuberculosis suspects were reported to this Clinic in order that these patients may have another X-ray in six months.
This method of X-raying people in industries is a very valuable health asset to the community as it may help in checking the increase of tuberculosis.
During the year the District Nurses averaged about (400) four hundred calls per month. The nurses are kept busy caring for chronic invalids, giving bed baths, doing dressings, giving hypodermics, prenatal and postnatal care. They also instruct diabetics how to take insulin; they teach mothers how to take care of any contagious diseases, etc. All of the nurses' work is done wholly under doctor's orders. During the summer months several tonsillectomies were done in the homes by some of the local doctors and assisted by the public health nurses. The nurses have also trans- ported patients to hospital clinics when they were unable to obtain other transporta- tion.
Report of the Milk Inspector, Leonard E. Curran.
During 1947 ninety (90) licenses for the sale of milk and cream and nineteen (19) licenses for the sale of oleomargarine were issued.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
After considerable delay and difficulty, equipment for making bacteria counts on pasteurized milk has been obtained for the Board of Health Laboratory. During the last half of 1947 some bacteria counts were made and for the most part were below the requirement of 40,000 per c.c. in regular milk and 10,000 per c.c. in Grade A milk.
One hundred sixty-two samples of milk and cream were tested for pasteurization with the phosphatase test. In three instances samples were found to be improperly pasteurized. The causes of the improper pasteurization were found and corrected.
Because of the increased use and interest in Homogenized Vitamin D Milk I would like to give a brief description of it here. Homogenization is the name given to the process of breaking up the fat particles and thus creating an even distribution of the fat in milk. Homogenization improves the palatability and increases the digesti- bility of milk. Homogenization does not improve the sanitary quality or increase the food value of milk.
Vitamin "D" is the antirachitic vitamin (prevents rickets) and is added to milk in the form of concentrates derived from plant and animal tissues or from fish liver oil. A deficiency of Vitamin "D" retards growth, especially of bones and teeth.
I wish to again call attention to the fact that the present milk regulations in force in Norwood were drawn up and adopted in 1931. In my opinion they are inadequate and for the most part illegal. I wish to strongly recommend that an up-to-date milk regulation be drawn up and adopted by the Norwood Board of Health.
The following is the report of Bartley J. King, Health Agent for the Town of Norwood.
I have the honor to present my report for the year ending December 31, 1947.
Routine examinations of eating places, food stores and public buildings were conducted throughout the year.
All complaints made to the Board of Health were investigated and disposed of in a fair and impartial manner.
Transportation was provided for patients attending clinics at the Norfolk County Hospital at South Braintree, Massachusetts.
In July the Board of Health lifted the "No Swimming" ban which had been in force for two years at Willett Pond.
The Board of Health voted to allow bathing at the popular recreation area after a bath house had been erected and sanitary facilities provided for the hundreds of people who visited the beach every day. The area had been closed in 1945 due to unsanitary conditions existing at the Pond. The Board of Health would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. George Willett for his co-operation in erecting the bath house and bringing about better conditions at Willett Pond.
To the members of the Board of Health I am deeply indebted for your confidence and for your excellent counsel during the past year.
JOHN P. DIXON, JAMES F. FOLEY, CHARLES L. LYNCH, M.D., Board of Health.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN PHYSICIAN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted my report for the year 1947:
Office calls 340
Home and hospital visits 501
841
The services rendered include treatment for every kind of illness, minor surgery, obstetrics, contagious diseases, and consultations on diet problems.
As shown by the above listing of visits, the Town Physician is called upon to serve every type of medical aid that is rendered by the town.
The Norwood Hospital has been very cooperative in admitting the cases needing hospital care. We are most fortunate to have here a modern hospital with every facility to help in the speedy recovery of our patients.
In a few rare instances the services of other hospitals than the Norwood Hospital were used. Transportation and incidental expense was borne by the Welfare De- partment.
Special treatment has been rendered to recipients at the Pondville Hospital both as in-patients and at the clinic held on Thursday of each week.
It has also been necessary to transfer some cases to Foxboro or Medfield and the detail incident to accomplishing this change was handled by the Town Physician.
In order to give proper care and treatment to convalescent and bedridden cases, some patients have been placed in boarding homes.
It has been the policy of the Town Physician to render the necessary care prompt- ly and in conformity with the best accepted medical procedure.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE KLEIN, M.D., Town Physician.
