Report of the Board of Health


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Taxpayers of Milford :


The Board of Health respectfully submits its annual report, together with the reports of its various appointees, for the year ending December 31, 1937.


The Board of Health, for the year ending 1937, con- sisted of James Cervone, Chairman; J. Curtis Nutter; Arthur J. Chambers; as Secretary J. Curtis Nutter. In March James Cervone was re-elected for a three year term. The Board of Health re-organized with James Cervone, Chairman ; J. Curtis Nutter and Arthur J. Chambers. James Curtis Nutter was appointed Secretary.


The following appointments were made by the Board of Health : Meat and Provision Inspectors, Jeremiah Macchi and D. Benjamin F. Hartman; Sanitary Inspector, Walter Chapin ; Health Nurse, Mrs. Helen Gillon; Physician, Dr. Francis H. Lally; Dentist, Dr. William J. Clancey ; John O'Grady, as agent to issue burial permits.


On January 21, 1937, Mr. John F. Power was appointed Additional Plumbing Inspector. Notification of employment was signed by the members of the Board of Health and Mr. John F. Power.


The Board of Health was required in December 1937 to seek an amount in addition to what was appropriated in March 1937. The Finance Board allowed the Board Eight Hundred Dollars ($800.00). The major cause for having to seek that additional amount was the increase in the num- ber of patients at the Worcester County Sanitarium. The number of patients during the later part of the year was somewhat lower than in the beginning of the year. In com- parison with the year of 1936 and 1937 the state subsidy for 1936 was two thousand four hundred thirty two and forty cents ($2,432.40). For 1937 three thousand two hun- dred and two dollars and three cents ($3,202.03).


On the Twenty-fourth day of June representatives from


117


the State Dept. of Public Health and representatives from the several organizations and groups of people met at the Board of Health Rooms. Very interesting talks were given by Miss Eleanor MacDonald, Statistician and Dr. Herbert L. Lombard, Director of the Division of Adult Hygiene. Also Dr. Francis H. Lally the Board of Health doctor. Their subject was on the State Wide Drive on Cancer Control, and the Cancer Control itself. Following the talk the Milford Cooperative Cancer Control organization was formed and the following officers were elected. Miss Helen C. Grady as the Secretary and Mr. James Zurlo and Mr. Ellen Hartwell.


Great progress has been made by this organization and its officers.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH NURSE


To the Honorable Board of Health :


Gentlemen :


I hereby submit my report as Board of Health Nurse for the year 1937.


Parochial Schools


St. Mary's and Sacred Heart

Following are the defects noticed and the corrections brought about, in so far as possible, during the annual physicial inspection of the students by the Board of Health Physician.

Probably the most essential phase of health education is proper training in the schools, because here there is the best opportunity for influencing the child's health program, since school children are open to suggestion, ideas, and habit formation. The above chart shows that the defects noticed are considerably lower than in 1936, however with a closer cooperation of parents, teachers, and school nurse and a more intensive preventive program we hope for an even lower record of defects in the future.


120


Many of the above Nose and Throat corrections can be attributed. to the generosity of the "Dr. Curly Free Bed- Fund" which benefited twenty children by the removal of Tonsils. Likewise many of the visional corrections are due to the 'Milford Lions Club Eyeglass Fund which took care of the treatment of ten children.


Communicable Diseases


Our listing of reported contagious diseases is considerably higher this year due to a slight epidemic of measles, par- ticularly noticeable in the three to nine year age group. The increase in communicable diseases can be more keenly noticed in the following 1936-1937 comparative listing.

The object of these School Chest Clinics is for the promo- tion of the health of school children and the prevention of Tuberculosis by calling attention to any signs of the disease that may be found. In children the tuberculin test serves as an effective screen to separate those individuals already infected and greatly reduces the cost of wholesale x-ray examination-the only practical way to recognize early pulmonary disease in this group.

Milford Consultation Clinic


With the diagnostic .services now available at our Con- sultation Chest Clinic it is gratifying to note the ever in- creasing number of physicians using this valuable service. Only when the x-ray examination of all family contacts of known cases becomes the accepted practice can we effec- tively utilize our existing facilities for the control of Tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis Cases in Milford


In spite of the fact that the death rate from Tuberculosis is less than half what it was twenty years ago, it is still the chief cause of death in the first decade of maturity. Al- though our record of reported cases and deaths has in- creased this year, I sincerely believe it is due to the co- operation of our local physicians in the reporting of cases in an incipient stage and our up-grade trend in health education and more intensive use of present facilities for the ultimate reduction of Tuberculosis.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH PHYSICIAN


In co-operation with Dr. Herbert L. Lombard, Director of the Division of Adult Hygiene, State Department, a meeting was called June 24, 1937, by the chairman of the Board of Health of representatives of all civic, social and fraternal organizations at which time the Cancer Control Program of the State Department of Health was fully explained. The plan was to have local physicians address small groups, explaining some of the causes of the disease and the facilities available for treatments.


The response has been most gratifying, both on the part of local physicans and the general public. The State expects by this method to cover practically 350 communities and make the inhabitants cancer conscious without stimulating a phobia. Thus far over 10,000 individuals have heard these talks by the doctors, and 2,000 more have listened to mem- bers of the Department of Public Health.


The Pondville Hospital was made possible by an act of the Legislature. Modern facilities are provided for the surgical and radiological treatment of all types of cancer. The


124


necessary care and treatment is provided for many who could not receive adequate treatment, because of the rules and regulations of some hospitals which prohibit the re- tention of patients ill with a chronic disease, over a long period of time.


The public response to the diphtheria immunizations, 889 of which were given this year to children of a pre-school age, and the fact that our records show no reported case of diphtheria, are self evident proofs of the value of this feature of preventive medicine.


Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS, HI. LALLY, Health Board Physician.

Report of Park Commissioners 1937


To the Citizens of the Town of Milford :


We hereby submit our annual report, with financial report appended for the year 1937.


This year we feel that the Parks were maintained as well as could be with the funds at our disposal.


This year we planted thirty (30) Trees in Town Park, we also improved the Base-Ball Diamond, we raised and rebuilt the Lower Tennis Court, with special Appropriation voted last March Town Meeting.


We have improved the Walks the best we could with material furnished to us from the W.P.A. Projects.


We wish to call your attention to the fact that the Elm Leaf Beetle, Brown Tail Moth and Gypsy Moth, are insects that are each year gaining headway in our four parks, we feel that there should be an appropriation made to take care of this situation.


We also wish to call your attention to the destruction in our Parks. This last year and also in our Playgrounds. This is not done by the small children, we feel that the Town Park should be Policed at night during the Summer months.


Playgrounds


The Commissioners try as far as possible to appoint Play- grounds supervisors who will look after the interest of the Children under their care. This year we feel that we had a very efficient staff of supervisors. The work done in the Playgrounds under their supervision was well praised by many who took the opportunity to look over the Display of Articles made by the Children of the Playgrounds.


We take this opportunity to thank all who in any way assisted us during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


PATRICK CARROLL, Chairman, BENJAMIN CONSOLETTI, FRED W. CLARRIDGE, Board of Park Commissioners.

TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT


In submitting my report for 1937, I take this opportunity of thanking those who cooperated with me throughout the vear ; especially the Board of Assessors and Town Solicitor, Mr. William A. Murray, who have put in a great deal of time in furnishing information and forms necessary for Collections and takings.


The Collections in 1937 were considerably above previous years. The outstanding taxes have been reduced by over $34.000.00.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM J. READ,
