REPORT OF TARKILN YOUTH CENTER
The program for the past year has been very successful.
We have run weekly teen-age parties for ten months of the year with a weekly average of 65 children.
We also sponsored a baseball team last summer and although we didn't play many games, we had a large enough turn-out for the team to have competitive games among ourselves. This year plans are being made for the team to join a league with surrounding towns.
Several parties were held for the small fry on the major holidays of the year, furnishing them with entertainment, refreshments and gifts.
This year we seeded the ball field, purchased baseball equipment, and installed a hot water system.
The Tarkiln Recreation Committee used the town ap- propriation for heating, lighting, equipment, and for reno- vating the doors and locks for the safety of the children.
Respectfully submitted,
D. E. LaGreca, Chairman Emily Loring, Secretary Phyllis Randall, President
P. S. We have earned additional funds by having suc- cessful dinners and weekly whist parties. Now to increase our earning power, we are in dire need of a kitchen and would appreciate the cooperation of the townspeople in our activities.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as agent for the Board of Health.
In 1951, the range of communicable diseases was about as usual. There was reported one case only of non- paralyzing poliomyelitis. There was, however, one case reported of tuberculosis in a child. Contagious disease statistics were as follows:
German measles
5
Measles
9
Scarlet fever
· 5
Pertussis
1
Chicken pox
51
Mumps
3
Roseola
1
Septic throat
1
Tetanus
1
Non-par. polio
1
Tuberclusosis
1
There were fifteen dogbites reported, and as usual, they were for the most part, the result of children molest- ing animals.
The School Dental Program was again successfully carried on.
This year, we have begun a campaign against the rat population of Duxbury. The town dump is to be clear-
115
ed of rats twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Plans are under way for combating the rat menace in the rest of the town.
We are grateful to the State Board of Public Health for their assistance and co-operation in the inspecting and licensing of eating establishments, chicken farms, and the like.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE ROSS STARR, Jr., M.D.

REPORT OF RECREATION COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Duxbury Recreation Committee is a group or- ganized under the direction of the Board of Selectmen for the following purposes :
1. To provide a place for adult and community recreation.
2. To provide a programme of recreation for young people.
The restoration and preservation of the old Dux- bury Town Hall has continued as in previous years. Loam and grass seed have been purchased to restore the lawn area.
Brick and masonry work on the front porch area has been completed for greater safety.
A new light has been installed at the entrance to provide safe egress and exit during the evening hours.
Additional bench and locker space in the building provides for the seating of ninety persons and individual storage for every organization that uses the building regularly.
Kitchen storage has been added to and redecoration is complete.
117
The committee, through its affiliated committees, continues to provide support for the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, the Cub Scouts and the Bon Homme Club.
A list of groups using the hall follows:
Boy Scouts of America
Ballet and Tap Dancing Groups Cub Scouts
Social and Ballroom Dancing Groups
Bon Homme Club (Ages 12-13-14-15)
St. John's Sunday School Duxbury Art Association Duxbury Garden Club
Various Church Groups
Young Peoples Organization etc.
The 1951 appropriation of $1500 was expended as budgeted :
Directors' Salaries Utilities Maintenance Restoration of the Building
and a similar sum, in the committees opinion, would be adequate for 1952.
During the fall and winter months approximately one thousand children and adults used the building in any given month. The committee therefore feels that this ser- vice to the town justifies the comparatively small budget usually requested.

Since the Recreation Committee is composed of repre- sentatives from various community organizations, pro- fessional groups and parents, all interested persons are invited to share in this community project.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Your Finance Committee held its first meeting on May 3, 1951, at which time John T. Burns was elected Chairman and Edward L. Butler was elected Secretary.
Up until December periodic meetings of a general nature were held. Carlton H. Schaffer replaced Arthur R. Hutchinson who resigned after two years of loyal ser- vice on this Committee. Since the middle of December there have been one or two meetings each week to study the 1952 Budgets of the various Town Departments. In most cases our sub-committees have made a previous survey of these budgets with the different departmental heads concerned.
The fall and winter meetings of the Association of Town Finance Committees were attended with four mem- bers being present on January 17, 1952, to hear Mr. Henry F. Long discuss matters pertinent to our func- tions.
Two meetings were held prior to the Special Town Meeting of January 4, 1952. Based on information re- ceived at these meetings, your Committee disapproved Article 1. of the warrant. It was not felt that the $12,000.00 involved was a necessary expenditure. This opinion was not upheld by the Town Meeting which voted in favor of the Article in question.
Your Committee authorized the following unforseen or emergency transfers from the $4,000.00 Reserve Fund :

The Committee wishes to thank all the Town De- partments and others for their co-operation and cour- tesy. We particularly wish to thank the Selectmen for the advice and assistance given to the joint committee formed under Article 44 of the 1951 Town Warrant. It is felt that this special committee may become increas- ingly useful in future years.
