Hearing Tests
The Maico Puretone Audiometer was used for testing the hearing acuity. Group tests were given in grades 2 through 12 inclusive, but indi- vidual tests were given to those in grades 1 and Kindergarten. Individual tests are given to all failing the group test. An audiogram and a notice of the defect was sent to the family. Consultations with the family doctor was recommended. In many instances the family physician referred the children to an otologist for more specialized treatment. When advisable the child handicapped with a hearing loss was given special instruction in lip-reading and speech to help him maintain his standing in his grade.
Vision Tests .
The Massachusetts vision test is used to screen all pupils to determine what ones are in need of further examination by an opthalmologist because of loss of visual acuity, laten hypermetrophia, or muscle imbalance.
Two hundred sixty-eight children were examined at the School Eye Clinic, under the direction of Dr. William Ryan, and treatment was pre- scribed to fit their particular needs.
Communicable Disease Control
At the immunization clinics twenty-six children received their initial series of three injections of diphtheria and tetanus toxoid while one hundred and eighty-nine received the booster injection.
Three thousand seventy-one children received a Polio booster at the clinics conducted in the various schools. These clinics were conducted in cooperation with the Board of Health.
Two hundred eleven students and school personnel were X-rayed; and all X-rays were negative.
Milk Lunch
The Woman's Club through the Community Chest Fund make it possible for sixty-one children to have a milk lunch each day. Children who are able to provide their own milk also have an opportunity to have this mid- morning lunch.
Handicapped Children
The school programs are set up to meet the limited capacities of handi- capped children. For those unable to attend school a home tutor is provided.
261
REPORT OF THE NORWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
This has enabled many youngsters to maintain their standing with their classmates even after long absence.
Improvements
Although it is understood that additional classroom space was needed, it is hoped that the Health room at the Prescott School will be available to the nurses next Fall. When more space is available at Junior High, I hope that the Nurses Room can be relocated and made a more functional unit.
Personnel
Once again I would like to request consideration of appointing another school nurse. The increased enrollments have placed an added burden on the nurses, and when the addition to the Senior High School is completed the enrollment will require a full time nurse in that building.
The appointment of Mrs. Maguire to conduct the vision tests has been very helpful.
We express our sincere appreciation and thanks to you, the School Committee and members of the School departments and community for the help and cooperation you have given us.

REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Mr. Walter A. Blasenak General Manager Norwood, Massachusetts
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report as Superintendent of the Public Works Department for the year 1960.
HIGHWAY DIVISION
Street Maintenance
A program of maintenance for town ways, guard rails, culverts and sidewalks was strictly followed during the year.
Fifty thousand gallons of liquid asphalt was distributed on the streets most in need of attention. Oil treated broken stone was used as a cover.
A section of Chapel Street was hot topped under our Maintenance program. The Chapter 90 Maintenance Project was the recapping of Walpole Street from near Guild Square to a point beyond Rosemary Street. In another year it is expected to continue to the State Highway, which is just beyond where Chapel Street meets Walpole Street.
Sidewalks
Granite curbing was removed and granolithic aprons were laid at the United Church, the new Congregational Church and at Frank's Market. Curbing was removed and hot top aprons laid at 1247 Washington Street and at Eysie's Market.
The names of some of the streets where sidewalks were recapped are: Cypress Street, Morse Avenue, Silver Street, Windsor Road, Veteran's project on Jefferson Drive and Roosevelt Avenue.
A twenty-seven thousand dollar appropriation was available for new sidewalks. Some of the longer stretches constructed were on the following streets: Casey, East Monroe, High, Monroe, Nahatan, Nichols, Propect, Rosemary, Sycamore (granolithic), Walpole, Winter Streets, Mountain Avenue, Glendale and Lancaster Roads.
Street Signs and Bridges
Street signs and culveris were regularly inspected and maintained. New signs were erected where needed.
Drainage
Piped drains and catchbasins were cared for regularly. Several basins were rebuilt. Manholes were raised to a new road grade preceeding recap- ping work.
263
TOWN OF NORWOOD
Several open drains were cleaned. The Fulton Street Main Drain was found to be broken near #62. The fault was repaired and the entire line cleared of debris.
Plantingfield Brook culvert between Upland Road and Washington Street was clogged with miscellaneous materials. The line was freed only after extreme difficulty and a new manhole was built west of the railroad.
Drains were laid to the Norwood Hospital, Senior High School and the New Telephone exchange.
Maintenance and Control of Traffic
Traffic lines, cross-walks, parking stalls both on the highway as well as in our five town owned parking areas, center lines etc, were painted,
New regulatory signs such as "Go Children Slow," "Stop" signs and various types of "Parking Signs" were placed where ordered. Existing traffic markers were repaired or replaced where required.
Collections were made weekly at parking meters. We found it necessary to add a four hour daily check for jammed clocks. Repairs were made to Meter Heads and posts as required.
SEWER DIVISION
Sewer mains and laterals were cleaned during the year with the Flexible Sewer Rod Equipment. Certain dead end sewers continue to be inspected every second week.
The two pumps at the Spruce Road station were overhauled.

The fourteen inch pipe in Route One between Morse Street and Sumner Street was tested and put into service.
The Route One water main was by-passed around the location of the new bridge for the Neponset River. Eight hundred feet of eight inch main was laid in the east side of Route One to complete the piping between East Cross Street and Dean Street. Seventy-five feet of eight inch pipe was added to the dead end main in West Border Road.
The abandoned Water Street bridge (wooden) settled carrying with it the support for the eight inch main which was above the bridge. The part of the main which was above ground was replaced by forty feet of 12 inch steel pipe that was laid five feet below ground.
Chapter 90 Construction was completed on Neponset Street from Fales Avenue to Mckinley Road. Chapter 90 Construction was started on Sumner Street between Route One and Pleasant Street. Sewer and water mains were laid where required before road construction began. Likewise many existing sewer and water service connections were renewed, hydrants relocated and both sewer and water connections laid to vacant lots.
Wells and buildings were regularly inspected and all pumping eqnip- ment was frequently tested. The dome of the elevated tank was painted and its overflow pipe was relocated. Waste fill from the Neponset St. sewer and road construction was deposited at Burrough's Pit.
Hydrants on dead ends were blown off spring and fall. Constant hydrant inspections were carried on during winter months.
Domestic meters were read quarterly and factory meters monthly. Check valves where private supplies were cross connected to the Municipal Supply were inspected quarterly. Stopped meters were repaired and re- placed. Meters were set on new services and service calls were promptly made when requested.
The construction of house connections by developers were supervised by the Public Works Department. We assisted engineers from the Town, State and insurance groups in determining the location and depth of pipes below ground as well as conducting hydraulic studies.
271
REPORT OF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FORESTRY-MOTH SUPPRESSION-DUTCH ELM DISEASE CONTROL
Prior to leafing, all elm trees were sprayed with a 12% D.D.T. oil base solution from a mist blower for control of the Elm Bark Beetle. When in leaf the elm trees were sprayed with a 6% solution from the same machine for the control of the Elm Leaf Beetle.
A September hurricane felled some trees, broke many branches and prematurely defoliated trees. The debris was promptly cleared away and the leaves were collected by our leaf collecting machine.
A contractor removed many diseased trees and trimmed trees on various streets of the Town. Poison Ivy and roadside weeds were sprayed in July. Ivy was removed from the Light Department building and Buckmaster station.
One hundred twenty-five new sugar Maple trees were planted in front of property owners' homes along town ways.
RUBBISH COLLECTION
The monthly collection schedule has been adhered to. Christmas trees were collected in January. The community is still growing and consequently the work of the rubbish division is increasing. A door-to-door collection was provided during the May Clean-Up Campaign for household items not normally allowed to be set out for pick up by the town Force.
DUMP
The Winter Street dump area was kept in good condition, not by our efforts alone, but with mutual assistance from our Board of Health Agent and our Fire Chief. It is no small task to regulate a dump area adjacent to a residential district and the cemetery.
EQUIPMENT
The following equipment was purchased for the department:
- 6 cubic yard Baughman Sand Bodies
2 - 31/2 cubic yard "Scottie" Salt Bodies
1 - Sewer Rodder
SNOW REMOVAL
The usual work under this category plowing, sanding, sanding and posting of coasting signs were promptly done.
The acquisition of new sanding and salting machines help control the ice. This winter we are using bulk salt rather than bag salt. We have increased the amount of salt distributed and added to our number of wayside sand boxes.
Moderate snow falls occured on January 11th and 19th. The 21 inches
272
TOWN OF NORWOOD
that fell March 4th was a record for a single storm in a twenty-four hour period. December 12th was a 16 inch blizzard lasting twenty hours.
PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS
Lawn areas at all parks and playgrounds were limed and fertilized in the spring after these areas were first cleaned and rolled. Grass was promptly cut during the growing season. Frequent watering of shrubbery was carried out during extreme hot weather. Shrubbery was trimmed at the end of the growing season.
Brush was cut from wooded park, playground and roadside areas. Waste fill from Sumner Street road construction was brought to the old swimming pool area in the rear of Endean Baseball Field. Drains and drain manholes at Dunn's Pond were repaired. Skating areas were main- tained during the ice season. Assistance was given to promote events connected with the town Fourth of July activities.
All the playground equipment and bleachers were inspected, repaired and painted. New playground equipment purchased by the Recreation Dept. was erected at different playgrounds.
The tennis courts were readied and the baseball diamonds started late the preceding year at Wilson Street, Fr. McAleer's and Endean were completed. Other baseball diamonds were maintained. The area outside the new Fr. McAleer's pool was loamed and seeded in the fall.
