Report of the
Communicable Disease Preventive Work
To the Board of Health of the Town of Braintree:
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit the first annual report of the communicable disease preventive work carried on by the Braintree Visiting Nurse Association for the year ending December 31, 1943.
The nurses assisted at the four diphtheria clinics held in the schools. 372 Home visits were made to patients with contagious diseases.
The above cases reported by the Board of Health were visited and in addition to nursing care, instruction was given to the family in carry- ing out the quarantine requirements.
This work we believe is of great importance to the town as the spread of communicable disease is thereby greatly lessened.
I wish to express my thanks to Mr. Thwing of the school department who assisted us in early detection of suspicious cases. Also to Mr. Johnson of the Health department for his co-operation in this work.
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE MURPHY, R. N., Supervisor of Nurses

Report of the Braintree Visiting Nurse Association
TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE TOWN OF BRAINTREE Gentlemen :
The Braintree Visiting Nurse Association hereby submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1943.
We have carried out our usual policies in the care and prevention of tuberculosis.
Follow up visits made to pationts at home 326 Patients taken to N. C. H. for x-ray and examinations 78
Money turned over to our association through the sale of Christmas seals by the Philergians enabled us to take part in the following activities:
I The establishment of a library at the N. C. Sanitarium
II The Rehabilitation program
III Chest x-ray of expectant mothers
IV Mass x-ray of industrial workers
Wars have always spread tuberculosis and for this reason we believe that preventitive measures are more important today than ever before.
We wish to express our appreciation to the Board and to Mr. Johnson for their help and co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE L. MURPHY, R.N., Supervisor of Nurses

One hundred samples of milk were seized from milk dealers' trucks and analyzed at Steele's Dairy Service Laboratory in East Bridgewater. In spite of the alternate day delivery of milk and labor shortage, milk delivered in Braintree in 1943 on the whole was satisfactory in quality. The bacteria counts while in some cases above the maximum for pasteurized milk, in no case. contained disease-carrying bacteria. No milk-borne disease or epi- demic occurred in Braintree in 1943. (In cases where bacteria counts were found to be high, due notice was given the dealer and improvement was noted in the quality of the dealer's milk on re-examination.
The following list of dealers are graded according to their average bacteria count for the year on pasteurized milk :

Report of the OLD AGE ASSISTANCE SUPERVISOR
For the year 1943
The State Legislature made some important amendments to the Old Age Assistance Law in 1943. They resulted in increased monthly payments, most of them of small amounts, in more than fifty per cent of our cases.
The amended law and the State department rules have definitely fixed the amounts that employed children should contribute toward the support of parents and have provided that the towns must take children to court if they fail to contribute in accordance with the statute and the department rules.
As a result of the changes in the law a number of cases were closed while in others the aid was reduced through partial support by the children. For three years the number of cases on our payroll has been declining from an all-time high of 348 cases in January, 1941 to 249 cases on January 1st, 1944.
It might appear from the above facts that our cost of Old Age As- sistance would be very materially less. This is not the case. The additional amounts allowed under the law, which included more liberal allowances for food, clothing, fuel and rent, practically offset the savings through the re- duction in cases.
It is the aim of the local Bureau of Old Age Assistance to give to every recipient in Braintree as much aid as possible under the law and the rules of the State Department. In every case we are obliged to make up a budget based on figures furnished by the State, which are only changed as the State Department elects. The variable quantities we have to con- sider are the amounts required for medical, dental, hospital and convalescent home services, and the amounts allowed for these are in large measure regu- lated by the State. The Federal Government pays one-half the cost on cases of Old Age Assistance up to the amount of forty dollars-that is, the Government in no case pays over twenty-dollars a month. The State and the Town pay the remainder-the State paying two-thirds and the Town one-third.
We, who are concerned with this work, try to give the utmost consider- ation to recipients and members of their families in handling our cases. It is our earnest desire to do all we can to make the lot of the older generation as comfortable and happy as possible and to exact from their children only such support as they are able and should be willing to give toward the sup- port of their parents, as determined by the State.
Under the amended law and State Department rules the work of the local department has increased to a large extent, both in the matter of in- vestigation and record keeping. The Old Age and Welfare Departments of the Town have been cooperating and working together to utilize to the full the services of the personnel of both departments and make it unneces- sary to employ additional workers.

The preceding statement shows the number of cases at the beginning of each year together with the Town appropriation, amount expended and the unexpended balance in each year, which latter amount goes into the Excess and Deficiency Fund as a Town resource.
All bills received from other cities and towns in 1943 on account of Old Age Assistance have been paid and all our bills to other cities. and towns collected. The Bureau and the department are proud of this record and of the work done to make the lot of our citizens of advanced age easier and happier.

Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the report of the Municipal Electric Light De- partment for the year ended December 31, 1943.
The Production Expenses increased in 1943 due to the conservation and shortage of fuel oil. Restrictions placed on the Department by the War Production Board and Petroleum Administrator for War made it necessary to purchase a large percentage of our energy from coal-burning stations. Also, the fuel oil prices were higher than last year. The follow- ing comparisons are shown:

The net gain in new services was 70. Total Services December 31, 1943-5939.
The sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) was transferred from the profits of the Municipal Light Department to the Town in lieu of taxes, making the total sum transferred in 1942 and 1943, One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).
I wish to express my appreciation to the Commissioners, Town Officials, Customers and Employees for their co-operation during the past year.
Following is presented the essential details showing the physical and operating conditions, as prepared in accordance with the annual report to the Department of Public Utilities.
