ANNUAL REPORT
STAFF
The increased use of the library naturally involves personnel.
Larger circulation demands more staff hours in the physical handling, checking, sorting, shelving and repairing. Increasing reference and informa- tional demands and the use of books for study means not only more time spent per borrower but greater attention to the classification and cataloging processes, the checking of bibliographical information and time for examining books to determine their suitability for specific uses.
Attleboro library staff members all have training in library techniques and in several specialized fields, but they frequently are faced with requests that involve riding two horses at once. Adjusting conflicts between the demands at the central library and adequate coverage for the branch schedules some- . times involve performance that would be envied in a circus. The performance should receive proper recompense. A pay schedule providing for graded in- creases has been adopted by the trustees and it is of paramount importance that it be made a monetary actuality. Attleboro cannot afford to lose a library staff which is technically competent and intellectually alert to the growing cultural demands of a developing city.
The Attleboro Library has been the grateful recipient of many gifts and much thoughtfulness on the part of organizations and individuals. That these tokens of friendship and generosity may prove to be like the mustard seed, the staff, by intelligent tending of the seed, strives to bring to the community a flourishing growth of good library service.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Veterans Service Center
To His Honor the Mayor and the Municipal Council:
Gentlemen:
Herewith is a report as director of the Veterans Service Center for the year 1949.
The War Veterans of Attleboro and many from the district communities of Norton, North Attleboro, Dighton, Seekonk, and Rehoboth have availed themselves the opportunity of seeking information and assistance through this office which is open from 8:30 A. M. throughout the day until 5:00 P. M., which gives the veterans, their widows, or dependents who work or live in Attleboro the chance of being assisted in the various services enacted by law.
The Veterans' Services include knowledge of benefits, Government Aid, Civil Service, Allotments, Terminal Leave Pay, Housing, Pensions, Burial Allow- ance, Education and Training information and the filling out of necessary papers and assistance in helping the veteran in picking out available schools. Bonus laws and eligible recipients are important functions of the office and valuable to the entitled. Insurance benefits have in many cases been the means of widows and dependents of veterans receiving money.
Special Dividend Insurance blanks were made out for over 500 veterans at this office as well as many applications for the Veterans Housing in co- operation with the Local Board.
Photostatic copies of servicemen's records and discharges have proved a big help to the veteran as well as giving the office complete record for office files.
These papers are important and necessary for Veterans in many instances.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel T. O'Connell,
Director.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Health Department
To His Honor the Mayor and the Municipal Council:
The Health Department presents for your examination and approval its 35th annual report for the calendar year ending December 31, 1949.
Two changes in department personnel are noted. The department was grieved at the sudden death last May of Dr. Frederick L. Briggs, who had served us faithfully and successfully for many years as Inspector of Animals and Inspector of Slaughter. To succeed him, Dr. James C. DeWitt, a graduate and registered veterinarian, was appointed with the required approval of the State Department of Health and the Director of Livestock Disease Control.
Miss Barbara Arnold assumed the post of Dental Hygienist at the start of the school year in September. She is a graduate of The Forsyth School for Dental Hygienists and is a registered hygienist under the State Board of Regis- tration in Dentistry.
The city has enjoyed another satisfactory public health record throughout the past year.
The number of live Attleboro births during 1949 was 466 (241 males and 225 females ), marking a decrease of 55 from the preceding year but still main- taining the high rate of growth noted in the past decade. Of this number 391 were born at 'Sturdy Hospital, three were home deliveries and 72 were born in hospitals outside the city. Six hundred and 82 more babies (367 males and 315 females ) were born in this city to parents having residences in other com- munities.
Changes in state legislation concerning the care of premature infants became effective in October, 1949. Because this is primarily concerned with public health this legislation transfers to local boards of health all responsibility regarding the care of premature infants previously allocated to boards of public welfare. Most important provision of the act relates to the payment for hos- pitalization of premature infants whose parents are unable to pay. This payment is limited to infants weighing 42 pounds or less at birth because they are the ones usually requiring periods of hospitalization extending beyond the mother's hospital stay. Parents who could afford a relatively short hospitaliza- tion may not be able to meet the demands of a long one.
The total number of Attleboro deaths from all causes during 1949 was 240, including 12 stillbirths and 42 residents who died out of the city. This figure marks a slight increase over the preceding year's total when 231 deaths were recorded. Of the 240 total, 144 were males and 96 females.
The predominating causes of these deaths were the same as in the recent years, namely: Heart Disease, Arteriosclerosis, Cancer and Cerebral Hem- orrhage. These leading causes totalled 157 deaths or over 65% of all deaths in our city. Over 65% of all the deaths occurred among the over 60 age group, while 47.5% were persons 70 years of age and older.
26
ANNUAL REPORT
The number of cases of communicable diseases reported was slightly higher than in 1948, 753 cases being recorded as compared with 650 in the previous year. Two hundred and 80 cases of measles, 190 cases of chicken pox, and 112 cases of mumps made up 78% of the total and dog bite with 61 cases provided the next highest total. The incidence of scarlet fever increased to 17 cases as compared with eight cases in 1948. Fourteen new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis reported in 1949 equalled the number recorded in 1948, but deaths from this cause increased from 3 to 6.
Twelve local cases of infantile paralysis occurred during the big epidemic year of 1949. All cases were hospitalized, the majority at nearby Chapin Hospital in Providence, and none are expected to be permanently or seriously crippled. The Health Department is indebted to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for financial assistance given these cases and for the estab- lishment of a clinic at our local Sturdy Hospital for orthopedic follow-up.
The Ringworm of the Scalp epidemic among our school population, which began in 1948 and assumed a position of considerable concern and plague to health authorities and parents because of the difficulty of treatment, was brought under complete control during 1949. Only a half dozen or so cases now remain under treatment and supervision of these is maintained at a clinic operated at the Health Department office each Friday afternoon.
It is again gratifying to report that for the 13th consecutive year no case of diphtheria occurred in our community. One hundred and 24 children were given booster or three dose diphtheria toxoid inoculations at our annual free diphtheria clinics conducted Saturday mornings during September and October. To further advance our diphtheria prevention program, our health department cooperated during the year with the State Department of Health in a diphtheria prevention study among local high school students. The local study was part of a state-wide one conducted by the Division of Communicable Diseases to determine how well high school students are protected against diphtheria and was initiated duc to the increase in diphtheria cases among persons in the adolescent and adult age group. With the approval of their parents, 487 high school students were Schick tested in April by State Health Department physicians. Of these, 327 showed a negative response to the Schick test, indicating an immunity to diphtheria. The remaining 160, who were disclosed to have a positive Schick, were given a single booster dose of diph- theria toxoid. This latter group ( excluding 61 who were graduated in June) were Schick tested again in November to determine the effectiveness of the booster as a protection against the disease. Fifty of these had become nega- tive and 49 (only 6 of whom were ever really fully immunized in the past, so could not have been expected to gain protection from the booster ) still remain positive indicating a present need for complete immunization against the disease.
The prevention and control of communicable diseases is one of the most important responsibilities of the Health Department. Mrs. Lois Wilmarth, our health nurse, keeps close watch on all cases reported to the department, and when the need is indicated she makes home visits to arrange for care and hos- pitalization and to give instruction regarding isolation and quarantine regula- tions and precautions to be observed. Careful and constant supervision and follow-up of all tuberculosis cases and contacts are an important part of her public health activity.
The Dental Clinic has functioned throughout the year in a very creditable manner. A large number of school children of the first three grades have had all dental defects corrected. During the coming year our sodium fluoride prevention program will be extended. The appointment of Miss Arnold to our staff to resume the dental health education program in the schools will advance this important health department service, and appreciation of her instruction has already come to the department from parents, teachers and pupils.
27
ANNUAL REPORT
Routine physical examinations were given to children of St. Joseph's parochial school by the Health Officer, assisted by Mrs. Wilmarth. Hearing tests were also given all these pupils through the cooperation of the State Department of Health. The nurse followed up these examinations with home visits for consultation with parents of children found to have physical defects or other health problems.
Sanitary conditions throughout the city have continued good during 1949. All complaints of insanitary conditions have been investigated by Mr. Cushman, our sanitary inspector, and in most cases promptly abated.
In the past year the milk and cream received and consumed in the city has been maintained at a high standard of safety and purity, and an adequate supply of pure water for drinking, washing and household purposes was avail- able to our citizens despite a long period of drought.
All food handling establishments, including bakeries, pasteurizing plants, ice cream manufacturing plants, markets, restaurants, bars, lunch rooms and soda fountains have been regularly inspected, and substantial and steady im- provement in sanitary conditions and practices have been noted. Our training classes in sanitary food handling methods conducted for employees of all eating and drinking places drew responsive audiences and resulted in increased interest and cooperation in good food handling.
The department gratefully recognizes the friendly assistance of city officials and public and private welfare agencies and the continued good co- operation of our citizens, which have made possible our accomplishment of another year of successful service to the people of Attleboro.
The usual tables of statistical data are appended as are also the reports of our staff members showing in detail the work of the department.
