We have completed our two year program of renovating the interior with the help of unemployed men. The result
156
is a building painted, varnished and whitewashed inside from the cellar to the eaves. The kitchen ceiling has been replaced because of the danger of falling plaster. The installation of the oil burner last year gave us the use of the coal room. This room has been whitewashed. Chairs, reading table and a radio installed, thereby making a sitting room for the men who do not smoke.
Due to the generosity of the Pierce Trustees, we have purchased a Copeland electric refrigerator of Sumner Redlon. It has given excellent service and has filled a long felt want.
We have had three particularly difficult cases of sickness during the year, and take this occasion to thank the District Nurse for her kindness to, and untiring care of our patients.
Mention should also be made of the co-operation of Miss Caldwell the State Policewoman in one of our difficult pro- blems.
During the year one patient was transferred to Taunton, and one a boarder from another town was discharged be- cause of his general unhappy frame of mind and his inability to co-operate with his fellowmen.
We urge our fellow townsmen to visit our men and women upon many occasions and to take every opportunity to show them unexpected attentions.
Outside work has gone on about as usual. In addition to the regular farm work, much clearing of waste land has been done, and a stone drain run across the field west of the house. The cess pool begun last year was completed. The pig pens have been rebuilt and ventilators installed. Wood cut on the town lots and at present more work is being done on the cemetery in an effort to put it in proper condition.
We voice our appreciation of the excellent work of our matron and Superintendent; and feel that no words of ours can over-express the value of the good work that they have done in the Infirmary.
Our patients are happy, busy, contented, well-fed, clean, well-clothed and carefully looked after in sickness and in health.
157
The clergy are made welcome at all times and are sent for whenever occasion demands. And with it all a watchful eye is kept upon expenditures. We particularly appreciate the fact that the Matron and her assistants have served 1260 dinners to the unemployed during the year. We thank the merchants for their contributions of fruit at the holiday seasons and bespeak a continued interest of all citizens in our local Infirmary.
March 1 1931, Mr. Leslie Clark completed three years of faithful and valuable service on this Board. He devoted his time particularly to farm production, and as a practical farmer his advice was of great assistance. Our thanks to Mr. Clark.
He was succeeded by William G. Boynton and the new Board organized with Mr. Boynton Chairman, Mrs. Hatha- way Clerk, and Agent (or Chairman) of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance. All cases were investigated and discussed at the time of application, and then gone over with Mr. Cobb at our monthly meetings.
In November Mrs. Hathaway was appointed by the State Department of Welfare as a State visitor of. Old Age Assistance. This appointment forced her to give up her active work on the Board but she is still actively interested giving much of her spare time to our problems.
Upon her resignation as Agent of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance Mr. Boynton was appointed to take her place.
During the year work has been required from all un- employed persons receiving aid. Much has been accom- plished, at the farm, on the wood lots, cleaning and painting part of the Town Hall and Bates school, and in cutting brush and other work that has been useful to the town, but would not have been done otherwise. These men have given 1596 days work, or the equivalent of five men every day for a year.
Following this report is a comparative statement of expenses, receipts, bills receivable, and cases aided during
158
the years 1930 and 1931. All bills received before Jan. 7, 1932 were included in the 1931 payments, (except one bill of the City of Boston, which is in dispute) and this Depart- ment closed the year with a balance of $263.51.
Respectfully submitted,
