REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
January 16, 1943
Mr. Edward C. Peterson,
Town Manager,
Middleborough, Massachusetts.
Dear Mr. Peterson:
The following is the report of the Health Department for the year ending December 31, 1942.
During the past year 127 cases of contagious diseases were reported to this office. This represents a decrease of better than 50% as compared to 257 cases reported in 1941. This is a creditable showing. However, I have found that many parents are not acquainted with the laws regarding contagious diseases and do not report them to this office. This is espe- cially true when a doctor is not in attendance. Steps have been taken to remedy this situation by placing in the hands of school pupils the laws regarding contagious diseases.
Four children were sent to the Bailey Summer Health Camp in South Hanson for eight weeks during the summer. These children derive a great deal of benefit from these visits and return in a much healthier condition.
Due to the lack of interest among parents of pre-school children which did not warrant the expense, no pre-school clinic was held this past year.
The X-ray clinic was postponed this year but will be held during the month of April this year when all High School students will be given the opportunity to have a physical examination, x-ray, and skin test.
During the year 122 deaths were recorded.
This constitutes the available material which I have for this department.
Let me express through you, my sincere appreciation for the valuable assistance given me during the short period which I have held office, and by all of my fellow employees of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
ROGER G. ELDRIDGE, Health Officer.
