DOUGLAS RECREATION COMMITTEE
Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman
Board of Selectmen
Douglas, Mass.
Gentlemen:
This year the Recreation Committee expanded it's activities in many directions. A Doll Carriage Parade, in conjunction with a Track and Field Meet, was held for all children from pre-school age through high school. Approximately 200 children participated in this program. We wish to thank the many citizens of the town for their assistance in helping to make this program the success that it was.
We co-sponsored the Douglas entry in the new Blackstone Valley Intermediate Baseball League, along with the Einiger Mill.
Heavy duty recreational equipment was turned over to the Superintendent of Schools for all three schools in the town.
Arrangements have been made with the Highway Superintend- ent for snow clearance from the two recreational ponds when ice skating conditions warrant it.
In addition to the aforementioned programs, we have carried out the past programs supported by the committee, with the ex- ception of the summer playground, which in our opinion was too expensive and the attendance too poor to warrant it's continuation.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT E. CAMPO ERNEST J. HIPPERT FLORENDO COLONERO

CIVILIAN DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
January 1, 1965
Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman.
The following is the Civilian Defense Report for the year ending December 31, 1964:
The regular monthly communications tests were carried out during the year and I attended several meetings held at the Sector 3B Headquarters in Milford, Mass.
From Surplus Property, Civil defense purchased an Interna- tional 5 ton tractor chassis for $125.00. It was turned over to the Fire Department and it is planned to install a 1000 gallon tank with pump on the chassis. (This truck is in excellent condition).
A 30" power lawn mower was also purchased at a cost of $25.00 and turned over to the Highway Department.
I have requested from Surplus Property, when available, a 4-wheel drive jeep to be used by the Police Department. Also a 5000 watt auxiliary generator for emergency use.

ANNUAL REPORT
Civil Defense Headquarters have suggested that the Town of Douglas install a radio to monitor Massachusetts State Police emergency warning signals. The State Police are responsible for warning local Civil Defense organiaztions throughout the state.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Robert J. Frost Board of Selectmen Douglas, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We herewith respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Douglas Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1964.
During the year the Water Department completed its survey on water rates and voted to increase them effective with the July billing. It was also voted to meter all public buildings, and bill them accordingly beginning January 1, 1965.
The Chapter 90 work on Gilboa Street done by the Highway Dept. made it necessary for us to re-locate 20 services, and 2 hy- drants. A new hydrant was also installed to increase fire protection in that area.
At the August meeting the Commissioners voted unanimously to sponsor an article at a special Town meeting to replace the 2" water line along North East Main Street for a distance of 850 feet more or less, with a 6" line, and provide fire protection in that area. Due to the financial condition of the Town at that time, the selectmen asked that action be deferred until the regular Town meeting. We also felt that at a later date due consideration should be given to provide Cummings Ct. with a 6" water main and thus eliminate another small inadequate water line.
During the coming year the Water Dept. will make repairs on the concrete standpipe on Franklin Street and the Booster Station which supplies Douglas Center. We hope to do this work within our proposed budget.
The financial report follows:

Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman
Board of Selectmen
Douglas, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Agent of the Board of Health of Douglas for the year ending December 31, 1964.
I have supervised the installation of 31 sewage disposal units in the past year in new dwellings and 18 change over from the old type cesspool to up-to-date septic tank leach field installations that meet the minimum standards of the Sanitary Code for the Common- wealth of Massachusetts.
We have had constant checks on sanitary conditions in all eat- ing places licensed by the Town.
The Agent and Board of Health Nurse attended the meetings of the State Health Department in various towns.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH NURSE
January 8, 1965
Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman Board of Selectmen Douglas, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith respectfully submit my twenty-fifth annual report to the Selectmen and the citizens of Douglas.
I find it impracticable to submit in an annual report all of the functions I perform and the activities with which I am associated, such as, social service, rehabilitation, assisting the health agent and the welfare investigator, representing the Board of Health at innu- merable meetings (thus bringing back to the Board of Health the information that is pertinent to this community), answering and investigating all cases that are reported to my office through various media, contacting and seeking assistance from the State Depart- ment of Public Health Sanitary Engineer and Sanitarian, investigat- ing cases that have been reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and compiling case histories on all of these, as well as many others which time and space do not permit elaborating upon.
The ultimate goal in all of the programs and projects in which I work and associate myself is to implement the knowledge avail- able to me into action in my program so that optimum health will be the goal for everyone.
Public health has been defined as "the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical and mental efficiency through organized community effort." (Quotation from C. E. A. Winslow, pioneer and noted authority on public health.)
The following statistics spell out in part the functions of the Board of Health, which is integrated into the school health program also, namely:
CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
The following diseases were reported to the health office:

Tuberculosis:
The new tuberculosis law passed by the General Court of Massachusetts makes the settlement of a case obsolete; hereafter all cases are based upon residence. The word residence in this context means that anyone residing in a given community for one day is considered a resident. The rate per diem at the County Sanatorium as of January, 1965, is $26.32. The community in which the hospital- ized patient resides pays one half of the above rate and the State Department of Public Health pays one half.
A chest X-ray without charge is available to all citizens of this community either at the Worcester County Sanatorium or at Milford Hospital. The Worcester County Health Association, in co- operation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Di- vision of Tuberculosis, has set up a chest clinic at Milford Hospital for people in this area. This clinic is held the second Wednesday of each month from three to five o'clock in the afternoon. The personnel from the Worcester County Sanatorium read the X-ray, and the findings and recommendations are sent to the family physician of each patient.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PREVENTION
Oral Polio Vaccine
The State Department of Public Health made Sabin Trivalent Polio Vaccine available for children from two months of age through adulthood. Trivalent vaccine combines Types I, II, and III. Therefore, an individual starting with trivalent vaccine needs but two drinks of the vaccine, with an interim of eight weeks, to obtain complete protection against polio.
On March 31, April 28, May 26, and June 23, trivalent polio vaccine clinics were held at the Town Hall for children from two

ANNUAL REPORT
months through 18 years of age. These clinics included infants, pre- school, primary and elementary age groups.
On April 8 and June 23, trivalent vaccine was given at the High School building.
On April 8, May 6, June 3, and June 23, polio clinics for adults were held at the Town Hall from 1 to 2 o'clock, 4 to 5 o'clock and 7 to 8 o'clock. Adults paid 25 cents for each drink of polio vaccine which helped to defray the expense of the clinics.
The following is the breakdown on the number of doses of oral polio vaccine that were received by each age group.

BLOOD BANK
On January 27, 1964, the Red Cross Mobile Unit visited Douglas. Number of pints of blood collected 87
Number of rejects 13
This projet is carried on throughout the year on a seven-days-a- week basis. Anyone in Douglas requesting blood calls the blood chairman or the police department, and arrangements are made im- mediately. This service is time-consuming, but very vital to the individual needing the blood. Many times it may mean the life of a patient.
WELL CHILD CONFERENCES
On April 9, May 5 and 19, and June 2 and 16, Well Child Con- ferences were held at the Town Hall from 10:00 to 1:00 p.m. Dr. Spooner examined 58 children at the conferences, which are con- ducted on an appointment basis with parents present. Personal his- tory is recorded in the school health record for entering school children. Vision testing, dental examinations, and the services of a nutritionist are available.

PREMATURE INFANTS
Settlement is no longer a factor as to payment for hospitalization of babies born weighing less than five pounds. The new Massachu- setts law states that residence is the determing factor, as well as the financial status of the parents.
Six premature babies were born to mothers residing in Douglas. Hospitalization for three of the infants has been paid to two hos-

pitals in the amount of $996. One half of this amount, or $498.00 will be reimbursed from the State Department of Public Health.

Working in cooperation with the welfare department, police de- partment, social workers for the various agencies, school principals, clergy, etc., the nurse was called upon to make numerous home visits for the purpose of investigating and determining the need for emergency care, rehabilitation, and so on.

Mr. Clifford Ballou has submitted a separate report pertaining to his functions as agent for the Board of Health.
I wish to especially thank the volunteer workers who have given many hours of their time in assisting at clinics, blood banks and at all health projects sponsored by the Board of Health. They are to be commended for their community spirit. The time donated by the volunteers is a direct saving to the taxpayer.
The vaccine and other biologicals are kept under refrigeration without charge at Mr. John Frost's store and at the Goodness store, and I wish to thank them for this privilege. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Salvation Army Service Fund Committee the Red Cross Motor Corps, Dr. Spooner, Mr. Clifford Ballou, the Red Cross Canteen Personnel, the Commercial Department at the High School, and everyone who assisted me in the health program.
