One case has been discharged from the sanatorium as quiescent, and is having periodic check up, the other case is still in the sanato- rium.
One case of tuberculosis of the bone was discharged from Lake- ville Sanatorium and was in need of physiotherapy treatment. The nurse arranged for the state physiotherapist to take this case over.
Through the Southern Worcester County Health Association and the Department of Public Health, all teachers, bus drivers and jani- tors in the public school system, totaling 27, were X-rayed at the High School Building as well as 112 High School students.
A total of 139 were X-rayed and none were found tubercular. This is one step forward in the control of tuberculosis, for all parents are assured that their children are not being exposed to tuberculosis by anyone in the Public School system.
Three girls spent eight weeks at Sterling Health Camp. The mother of two of these children has been hospitalized in the Norfolk

ANNUAL REPORT
County Sanatorium for seven years. All three children gained con- siderable weight and improved in general health.
The purchase of X mas seals financed this camp as well as pay- ing for the 139 X-ray films taken at the local chest clinic.
The State Department of Health recommended that booster doses for the further prevention of diphtheria be given to all children who had been given their three original doses two or more years previous. Clinics were held at the High School, Grammar School and Douglas Center School buildings. A total of 263 school children received booster doses. Dr. R. H. Spooner did the injecting assisted by the nurse and volunteer workers.
A clinic was held at the Town Hall for pre-school children, with 40 receiving booster doses.
The annual diphtheria prevention clinic was held at the Town Hall starting April 10 and ending June 12. This clinic was to start the original three doses of toxoid. Four of these clinics were held, three weeks apart, with a total of 65 receiving their first three doses. Of this number, 27 were school children and 38 infants or pre-school.
The vaccination clinic was held in June. Dr. Spooner vaccinated 46. Parents are urged to have their own family physician take care of all immunization and vaccination. The Board of Health Clinic is to take care of those children who do not go to their own family phy- sician.
A three-day well-child conference and pre-school clinic was held April 29, 30 and May 1 at the Town Hall sponsored by the local Board of Health in cooperation with the State Department of Health.
Fifty-two attended this conference; 39 who were to enter school for the first time in September and 13 of a younger group.
These children were given a thorough physical by a pediatrician, examined by a dental hygienist and diets discussed with parents by a nutritionist. Dr. Johnson, for the first time in this community, tested hearing with the "Maico" audiometer, and examined eyes with the new Massachusetts Vision Test.
The defects found were tabulated on the physical record card; the follow up being done by the nurse.
As a result of this pre-school examination four children obtained glasses before entering school. One had a hearing defect, which is in the process of being corrected, and two children are attending the crippled children clinic. Several had abscessed teeth taken care of.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
This type of examination is very valuable as it helps to correct defects that are found in a child before he enters school. The school physician sees the value of this examination when he does the annual physicals in school.
The nurse had charge of selecting the personnel to assist the Blood Mobile Unit, which was held June 5 under the direction of the local Red Cross and Dept. of Public Health. Eighty-six blood dona- tions were obtained.
The nurse in some cases transported and made arrangements for 30 T.B. suspects to be X-rayed at the County Sanatorium.
The nurse attended important state and county health meetings and institutes during the year.
Two children were referred to child guidance clinic and four to speech clinic.
One case was admitted to Wrentham State School.

For recommendations for the coming year, I would like to see more of the communicable disease cases reported to this office and all food handlers and those employed in industry have a chest X-ray which is offered free by the Southern Worcester County Health Asso- ciation in conjunction with the State Dept. of Health and also more children go to their own family physician for periodic health examina- tions, to include diphtheria immunization, booster doses and vacci- nation.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Selectmen, Dr. Spooner, Mr. Nelson, Miss Sweinberger, and the volunteer workers, particularly Miss Margaret Brown and Mrs. Pauline Alexander, who assist at clinic and well-child conferences for their interest in the health of this community.
Respectfully submitted,

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Selectmen and Citizens of Douglas:
The report of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance for the year 1947 is as follows:
The past year has been an exceedingly busy one for this depart- ment because much extra work has been required by the state all through the year.
In the spring the state department inaugurated a new system of case review, and Douglas was chosen as the first town in this dis- trict in which to begin this work. A representative from District Of- fice No. 2 of Worcester spent three days a week for about five weeks, or a total of sixty hours, in this office, examining and checking records. Later a report from the state department commended the work of this department.
New rules were sent out by the state in September, making dras- tic changes in methods of budgetting. At that time every case had to be reviewed and rebudgetted, and grants adjusted to comply with new rulings. The majority of the grants were increased and this made an immediate increase of about $215 to the monthly payroll, but sev- eral recipients, who came under the new ruling concerning persons living in a family group, were decreased. All of these changes were made by October 15, 1947, and all recipients notified of changed grants.
However, within two weeks, the state department, acting on the recommendation of the governor, reversed its decision on the rule governing family budgetting, so all the grants which had been de- creased had to be reviewed again, and increases made retroactive to September 1, 1947.
TOWN OF DOUGLAS

Fourteen new cases were opened during the year, and five were closed, making our active list on December 31, 1947, 40 cases. Eight of these are state or unsettled cases for which full reimbursement is received from the state department.
Eleven persons were aided in other cities and towns as charges against this town last year. One lost Douglas settlement this past year, and three others will lose their settlement here in 1948.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Douglas:
Due to the slowing down of business of the local mills during the past several months many extra calls were made upon the welfare department.
Several families required aid for a number of weeks, while three families were aided while awaiting Unemployment Compensation.
As you will observe by reading the itemized account of expendi- tures at the end of this report, medical expenses (rest homes, medical bills and hospitalization) are a very big item.
Bills of $787.50 were paid for three families in other places, one of which lost Douglas settlement in December. A pension received by one person reimburses the town for a large part of his support.
Our Aid to Dependent Children list has been small this year- three cases were aided during the year, and one of these was closed a short time ago.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1947.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Dept. for the year ending Dec. 31, 1947.
The Department answered a total of 50 alarms during 1947, classed as follows: Chimneys 7, forest 12, grass 12, town dump 3, elec- trical 2, brush 2, oil burners 3, radio 1, truck 1, house 2, oil storage tank N.H.R.R. 1, rubbish 2, barn 1, (which was in Uxbridge and help was sent from Douglas.
This report shows a decline of 5 alarms from 1946, and would have shown quite a decline if it were not for the dry Spring and Fall which caused so many forest fires in Mass. and surrounding States.
Our Lawn Party was held as usual and as usual was a success, thanks to the cooperation of the local residents.
Edward Colonero, Henry Therrien, Edward Martinsen and Vin- cent Cerrulle were appointed as regulars to the Fire Department dur- ing the past year. Three of these men were former members of the Armed Forces.
We also had five resignations from the Department, namely: Fred Cabana with 34 years fo service, Harold Anderson with 20 years, Joseph Vecchione with 16 years, Joseph Bruno with 12 years and Louis Blon- iasz with 10 years. Many thanks to these men and any other mem- bers who have resigned in the past. Only by their cooperation has the department been able to function so smoothly and efficiently.
Our annual inspections have gone a long way in making the townspeople fire minded. I wish to thank everyone for their splendid cooperation in this matter.
I also wish to express my thanks to all members of the Fire De- partment and all Town Officials who have been so helpful in the past.
In 1947 I recommended that the Town purchase a new ladder truck. I wish, at this time, to recommend that the Town purchase a 1000 gallon water tank and ladder truck combined. This type of equip- ment would go a long way in making a more efficient department. I believe that the department, at the present time is not adequately equipped to combat any fire which might occur in any of our tall build- ings.
63
TOWN OF DOUGLAS
During the past year I have noticed the Trailer and Tanker trucks that go through our town. Picture one of these oil tankers in an accident in the center of our Main Street with 5,000 gallons of burn- ing oil flowing down our gutters carrying destruction all the way along our business district. It would wipe out the center of our town before we could get any assistance to combat this type of fire. May I recommend that the Town purchase the necessary type of equipment to cope with this Fire Menace in our Community.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas,
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Forest Fire Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1947.
The most disastrous fire that occurred in our town was the Webster Gore fire. This fire cost the town $2,621.22. Although this seems like a large sum to spend on a forest fire, the fact still remains that the cost to extinguish this fire was $5.10 per acre. In compari son with similar fires which occurred at the same time in our sur- rounding towns, their cost was $9.50 to $14.00 per acre. The reason for the difference was the cooperation we received from our neighbors from Rhode Island and Connecticut, also our bordering towns of Sutton and Uxbridge. Without their timely assistance the fire might have demolished Douglas Town.
I wish to thank the Selectmen for their splendid cooperation dur- ing the conflagration, also Chief Smith of Sutton, Mass .: Chief Maher of Glendale, R. I .; Chief Tancrell of Uxbridge, Mass .; Chief Taber of Chepatchet, R. I .; Willard Hall of Pascoag, R. I .; State War- den Hurley of Spencer, Mass .; The Hayward Schuster Mills of Douglas, The Police Department of Douglas; The American Red Cross; The Police Department of Putnam, Conn .; and all the town's people who assisted me.
During the past year our Department has assisted the following towns: Dudley, Webster, Uxbridge, Sutton and Whitinsville, Mass.
