ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Randolph
Massachusetts
Herewith you will find a summary of services rendered to the veteran and his de- pendents under the General Laws of the Commonwealth.
Our case load for veterans benefits has increased considerable over 1961. Vet- erans and their dependents who have moved into Randolph from other cities and towns have acquired a settlement in Randolph, and if in need will apply to this office for benefits, which no doubt will increase our case load for 1963.
Last October we covered all our recipients over 65 years of age under the Massa- chusetts 65 Insurance for hospital and nursing home care. This type of insurance was needed as our elderly people require this care more as they become older. The State Department pays 50% of all premiums. Under this plan our hospital and nursing home care expenses should be kept at a minimum, this was good business for the town.
We find with all the new amendments to the laws that are administered, our paper work and investigations of each case requires considerably more effort and time so the town will receive the 50% reimbursement on each case from the Commonwealth. We believe by 1964 this department will require additional personnel to protect these reim- bursements.
In addition to above, our services to the veteran have become very involved, re- quiring more time spent on each case to bring them to a successful climax. We are reviewing claims on W. W. II and Korean Veterans and new applications for the W. W. I Veteran who has arrived at the age of 65 and has retired, also pensions for widows of all wars.
All these claims are processed and developed in this office and then forwarded to the Veterans Administration for consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM S. COLE Director of Veterans' Services

The program of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) from the Federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare on down to the local communities, has undergone the most intensified scrutinization since its inception in 1931. Corrective legislation and departmental policy have been made since the Newburgh, New York, incident, and more
52
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
will be made in the years to come. Locally this Board is happy to report that our staff investigations of the recipients receiving this type of aid show excellent, sound, social work, with alleged national abuses and irregularities practically non-existent.
The local Welfare Department staff consists of two Social Workers, 1 senior clerk, 1 junior clerk, and 1 Director of Public Welfare.
Mr. Harold W. Macauley, who was appointed under the Town Manager Act, re- signed April 16, 1962, effective concurrent with the expiration of said Act as voted by the Town Meeting. Mr. Henry L. Lowd, formerly a member of the Finance Committee, was appointed July 9, 1962, to hold office until the next annual Town Election, to the position made vacant by Mr. Macauley's resignation.
At the annual Town Meeting of May 8, 1962, the townspeople voted 102 to 46 the recommendation of the Finance Committee to accept Article 44 dealing with the con- struction of a building to house both the Welfare Department and the Veterans' Services Department on town owned land directly to the rear of the Congregational Church park- ing area on Turner Lane, and authorized a total of $63, 000. 00 of which 75% of the cost of the Welfare office floor space is reimbursable by the State and Federal Governments.
As voted, the Town Moderator, Mr. Joseph Lombardi, appointed a Building Com- mittee consisting of Roland H. Marden, Chairman; Francis J. Leahy, Secretary; and John H. Beagan. At a Building Committee meeting on May 28, 1962, it was unani- mously voted to hire the Walter M. Gaffney Associates of Hyannis, Mass., as Archi- tects.
On September 24, 1962, the Building Committee voted to grant the General Contract to the lowest bidder, Arthur K. Wells, Jr., Inc., of Newton, Mass., said amount of bid being $52, 992. 00. Highest bid (of which there were five) was $71, 497. 00.
On December 6, 1962, fire of undetermined origin destroyed the Turner Free Library and all of the Welfare offices which were located on the first floor of the south side of the library. Water, smoke, and heat ruined all office equipment, furnishings, and supplies. Because no flames occurred in the Welfare offices, most of the case histories and fiscal records were saved. During the period from December 6 through December 9, the Welfare Department functioned from the office of the Board of Selectmen on the second floor of the Town Hall. From December 10, 1962, to the end of the year, the Welfare Board accepted the invitation of the Reverend Walter K. Lyon, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Randolph, to temporarily house staff members and new equipment of the Welfare Department until the completion of the new office building sometime in the spring of 1963.
To Rector Lyon, and his parishioners, to our Board of Selectmen, and to all the Departments, who, throughout the year and immediately following the fire rendered in- valuable aid, comfort and cooperation, we express our sincere gratitude and appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,

** Of the 19 cases dismissed for want of prosecution, the Police were complainants on five.
*Of the 70 cases released, 17 were juveniles and turned over to parents.
In the very near future plans should be made relative to building a new Police Sta- tion. Our present one is entirely too small to accommodate the personnel and the busi- ness transacted by the Department.
We are pleased to report a decrease in juvenile delinquency and a great deal of the credit must go to our Juvenile and Safety Officer, Charles E. Olsen, who is doing out- standing work in the department.
In closing, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Town Officials, members of the department and the citizens of Randolph for their cooperation during the past year.
Sincerely,
CARL L. MACAULEY Chief of Police

National fire losses increased again in 1962, and although Randolph has been below the average per capita loss in recent years, we were no exception to the increase in 1962. The number of building fires decreased, but the property loss increased, due mainly to; the Diauto Block, for which the arsonist is now serving his sentence; the Turner Library, where evidence of possible arson has been revealed; and other large loss fires of suspicious origin. In addition to arson there was no outstanding cause for building fires other than carelessness.
The insurance survey by the New England Rating Bureau was delayed because of the absence of a filter plant at the pumping station. Since water capacity rates so highly with the Rating Bureau, it was felt that, with adequate pumping facilities available, a delay would be necessary until the filter plant would insure sufficient volume of water to gain a satisfactory grade in this category. The survey will be requested when the plant is completed and the present volume has been increased.
The transmission of the Aerial Ladder was the only major repair to the apparatus, but because the work coincided with the town mechanic's vacation, the town had to bear the cost of outside mechanics. As mentioned in the 1961 report, the chassis of Engine 2 (1951) should be replaced this year, and if done, will put our equipment in good condition.
FIRE PREVENTION
The training schedule was broadened somewhat with the temporary installation of an oil pit, and further studies were made into the control and extinguishment of flammable liquid fires. Oil and gasoline fires allowed firefighters experience with the use of dif- ferent extinguishing agents on Class B fires. To supplement the projector, purchased in 1961, and add to the slides now on hand, a camera will be added in 1963 for training and arson investigation.
Again, our home fire prevention program was centered around the children in grades 1 through 6 with the Junior Fire Marshall plan in October. This type of home safety, through those of school age, will be stepped up during 1963 with more visual aid training. The cooperation we have had from parents has given us the confidence to con- tinue this type of work.

FIRE INSPECTION
There were a total of 973 mercantile and industrial inspections made in the year 1962, with a total of 118 violations being found. Only a few of these were of major variety, requiring reinspections to be made to insure that violations were corrected.
On the whole, we have found that all the building owners and occupants have been most cooperative in complying with our recommendations.

A department can function efficiently only when there is teamwork and a friendly spirit among its members. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the capable officers and firefighters under my command, for their continued loyalty and cooperation, in our efforts to provide, at all times, the best possible protection for the lives and property of the townspeople of Randolph.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORTABLE DISEASES
During the year 1962 five hundred forty communicable diseases and other report- able conditions were reported to the Board of Health by physicians, hospitals and other persons as follows: Chicken Pox, 5; Dog Bite, 112; German Measles, 5; Hepatitis In- fections, 2; Measles, 345; Mumps, 60; Salmonellosis, 1; Salmonella Carrier, 1; Scar- let Fever, 4; Tuberculosis, all forms, 5.
CLINICAL PROGRAMS
Doses of Sabin oral polio vaccine Type I and Type III were given during the months of May and June, in clinics held in the schools, the Health Center and the High School for all children and adults desiring to take advantage of the program. Approximately 10, 000 children of all ages and 4, 500 adults attended the various clinics. In addition to the liquid vaccine, Randolph was given 2, 500 doses of the oral vaccine in capsule form by Pfizir Co. to determine the acceptability of the capsule as compared to the liquid. The capsules were given to selected children in all age groups with certain of them hav- ing blood tests taken before and after the doses to determine degree of immunity prior to and subsequent to the dose. It is worth noting that Randolph was one of only a few communities in the Commonwealth that was able to hold the oral vaccine programs for all children and adults.
Only one Glaucoma detection clinic was held in 1962, the evening of April 30, due to a lack of interest. The clinic was one again sponsored by the Lions Club in coopera- tion with the Board of Health, volunteer optometrists and resident physicians from Mass. Eye and Ear Hospital. 64 Randolph residents and 1 Holbrook resident were ex- amined and 5 suspicious cases were discovered.
Influenza vaccine inoculations were given during October to all Town employees who desired them, 124 persons responded.
Three hundred forty-two first grade children in the school system received booster doses of diptheria-tetanus vaccine during the year.
59
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Negotiations were successfully completed with the South Shore Mental Health Center for the admission of the children of Randolph in their programs. This will en- able the town, through the Board of Health and School Department, to refer emotionally disturbed children to the center for evaluation and treatment starting January 1, 1963.
PREMATURE INFANT PROGRAM
Twenty-four live premature births were reported to the Board of Health during the year. We did not have to render financial assistance in any case.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING
Three registered nurses continue to do the health work for the Town as has been the case in the past four years.
Their duties are follow-up of patients and contacts with Tuberculosis or any re- portable communicable disease, to see that the maximum of care and prevention are carried out.
All premature births reported to this department result in a home appraisal visit before the baby is discharged and a visit following the discharge of the infant for in- structions and care of both mother and child. These visits also include a disease his - tory, shots completed and general health record of the pre-school child.
The Well-Child Conference is held once a month with excellent attendance. This clinic is held at the Ladies Library Building every month on the first Thursday and the members of the Welfare Committee of the Ladies Library do the weighing and clerical work prior to the Doctor's examination. The nurses assist the the physician at the clinics and any follow-up recommendations are completed.
Clinics again are an important part of the nurses' work and this year we conducted clinics for Polio myelitis using live virus vaccine. The attendance at all these clinics was excellent. Glaucoma and Asian Flu clinics were also part of the program.
Home visits and bed-side care are still a major part of the nursing program using each visit to teach and instruct the families on the importance of a healthful environment and assisting if necessary in obtaining care when needed especially in various condi- tions other than general illness.
Parochial school coverage is a part of the nurses' schedule. Assistance to physi- cians in preparing for and carrying out any program is willingly given.
Office visits are continued for patients desiring to come to the office rather than having a home visit made.
Classes in various fields of medical care, new drugs and preventive medicine are attended so that the latest and most modern methods may be used in our varied program.
ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION
The Board of Health members and agent were part of a committee, which was re- quested by them, to join with the towns of Avon, Canton, Holbrook and Stoughton in a study of garbage and rubbish disposal problems presently existing and for future plan- ning. The committees of the five towns by mutual agreement employed the services of Camp, Dresser & McKee as consultant engineers for the study. Several meetings were held and on December 3 the results of the study were received by the five committees at a meeting held in the GAR Hall. Widespread publicity has been given to those re- Sults and other meetings were planned to consider the best course of action in either joint endeavors or by separate communities. We would like to point out that this type of study is the first of its kind and was arranged for by this Board of Health through months of contact work. This method of study has since been adopted by other com- munities acting jointly and is commonly referred to as the "Randolph Plan".
With the gradual development of the public sewerage system residents are again given notice that the connection to the sewer when it is accessible is mandatory. The Board has had to order individual home-owners this year that such is the case and it is

TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASSACHUSETTS
considered that the best interests of the public are being served thereby. Arguments by some that they did not realize they would have to connect to the public sewer, or could connect when they felt like it, are not considered valid. The public sewerage system is an invaluable part of good public health practices, is installed to protect the health of the people it serves, and it is believed that it is in keeping with the original intention of the townspeople, as well as the law, that connection to the public sewerage system be mandatory.
The usual complaints regarding overflowing cesspools, illegal dumping, animal- keeping, etc., were received and investigated. In contrast to past years legitimate rubbish and garbage complaints were almost nonexistent.
