ANNUAL REPORT
Along with all of these activities the Civil Defense Agency also saved the Town of Middleboro approximately $1700.00 through the pur- chase of a fire radio, police radio, and civil defense radio on the Federal Matching Funds plan. Also a large amount of town equipment was ob- tained from government surplus property at ridiculously low prices.
I wish to thank the Town Officials and the people of Middleboro who have donated their time and material items to help make the year 1957 a successful one for the Civil Defense Agency.
Respectfully submitted, CLAYTON H. THOMAS, Director of Civil Defense.
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The year 1957 was an active year for the Middleborough Planning Board.
The first five months of the year were devoted to study and prepa- ration of a Zoning By-Law for presentation to the voters at a Special Town Meeting.
As required by State law, a hearing on the proposed Zoning By-Law was held publicly at the Town Hall in June. In view of the many comments and criticisms voiced by various voters at the Hearing, it was decided to table the matter to an indefinite date before presentation to the voters.
Thus the last half of 1957 was devoted to further sudy so that a more presentable Zoning By-Law may be introduced to the voters in 1958.
The Planning Board wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation to people who have taken an interest in our work.
Respectfully yours,
HERBERT GIBSON NORMAN MASSEY ROBERT ROHT ELLSWORTH STANDISH ALTON KRAMER, Chairman

PLYMOUTH COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
Commissioners of this project as appointed by the State Reclama- tion Board are as follows: Chairman, Herbert H. Laniman, Plymouth; Vice-Chairman and Secretary, Frank E. Parris, Pembroke; H. Roy Hartshorn, West Bridgewater; Phillip L. Jenkins, Brockton, and G. Ward Stetson of Middleboro.
Headquarters was established in Pembroke Center in mid-October with an office and a service building leased. Warren G. Harding has been appointed as superintendent with Norman S. Kent as assistant superin- tendent. Initial tentative plans and early objectives of the program have been formulated.
Trucks, spraying equipment and drainage tools have been requisi- tioned or already delivered. A winter dusting program was started early in January in various parts of the county, and we will be in a position to start on an effective mosquito control program as soon as the spring broods are in evidence.
A limited number of personnel have been employed and as seasonal activities increase, additional qualified personnel will be needed.
During the first year an extensive survey will be made to determine the exact species of mosquito breeding at specific locations. This is neces- sary in order to use approved control measures at the proper time. Dur- ing the coming summer season the breeding problems will be corrected whenever time and facilities permit. This will include hand spraying, dusting, power dusting, hydraulic and mist blower spraying, fogging and aerial spraying.
Until the census of species has been completed, we will appreciate the cooperation of each municipal official who has handled the control work on the local level with valuable information as to local breeding areas.
A comprehensive study will be started the first year to determine the drainage potentials of the salt marsh and fresh water breeding areas, as drainage of such areas is the semi-permanent solution to mosquito control.
It will be the ultimate goal of this project to advance the drainage of the salt marsh and fresh water breeding areas each season. As these breeding points are eliminated by proper and adequate drainage ditches the control by use of insecticides will be reduced.
A major problem in this county is the "Hockomock Swamp" which has proved to be the focal point for the bird life showing the virus of the eastern equine encephalitis and with mosquitos, the known vector of this virus, we will have to control mosquitos in this vital area for the health protection of the entire county.
With the household mosquito (Culex. pipiens) as a major nuisance in the residential areas, we will conduct a program to eliminate their breeding in storm sewers and catch basins. These points proved to be the paramount breeding places for this species.

REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT 1957
To: Members of the Park Board Trustees under the will of Thomas S. Peirce Members of the Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
One look at this year's record attendance figures will prove that the playground is still the most popular place in Middleboro. We feel that this is due in a large part to the philosophy behind our recreation pro- gram which is that a program should fill the needs and wishes of the members of the community and also utilize to its utmost the facilities at its command. On this basis this past year we have experimented with several innovations. The first of these was the lengthening of our sum- mer program by opening the pool two weeks earlier than usual. This proved to be exactly what the people wanted for the attendance for those two weeks, which included some of the warmest weather of the summer, was 6380. This figure does not include hundreds of members of the high school physical education classes who used it.
In addition to the regular upkeep of the grounds and facilities, and carrying on our basic program of pool and field activities, we added some special events. These included a Key Contest, Pet Show, Doll and Truck Show, Peanut Play Day and Penny Contest. For boys of high school age we ran a basketball league in the new high school gymnasium, and as a further step in the lengthening of our recreation season we held touch

ANNUAL REPORT
football and basketball instruction and games for boys of the upper elementary grades Saturday mornings during the fall and winter.
For the first time last winter, on the advice of pool experts, we left the pool filled for the winter. Upon draining it in the spring we found that the surface had weathered the winter much better than in previous years when it had been left empty. We decided to continue this method and filled it again this winter. Eventually the water froze sufficiently to warrant skating. We plan to open the pool to skaters whenever the ice is safe.
Probably our greatest challenge this past year was to keep the pool filled and to maintain our high standards of sanitation in the face of the water shortage. We were able to solve this problem in a most satisfac- tory manner thanks to the great interest and cooperation of many people, most especially the Peirce Trustees, Lloyd Banks of the Water Depart- ment, and Captain Edward Dunn of the Army Reserve Engineers at Fort Rodman. In the course of our experiments we evolved a system which we found even superior to our previous one and therefore we plan to continue to use it in the future.

I am also very grateful to the members of the Park Board and the Peirce Trustees for their continued support and most of all their keen and active interest.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Middleborough
Gentlemen:
The following is the annual report of the Department of Veterans' Services for the year ending December 31, 1957.
The expenditures for 1957 have increased in cost and in number of cases handled over the 1956 budget on account of the case load and the increase in the law of the amount allowed both for hospitalization and aid. The number of cases for November and December have increased on account of unemployment and strikes. Also, the number of veterans, serv- icemen, and their dependents now in the Town and out of Town if they have a Middleboro settlement, civil or military.
Medical, hospital, rest home and nursing home cases have increased especially among the older people in the number of cases handled and the amount allowed by the State for the year 1957. These cases are of a per- manent nature and their stay is usually indefinite.
Veterans' Benefits cases are paid by the State and Town on an equal basis, each paying one-half of the cost. The reimbursements from the State are paid to the Town Treasurer by the Commissioner's Office. The amounts paid out on all state cases are reimbursed to the Town in full by the State.
The amounts received on lien cases are paid in full to the Town when settled by the courts.
The Town of Middleboro receives $850.00 yearly from other Towns for services rendered to them by this office.
All cases are investigated by the State Inspectors and all records and amounts paid on Veterans' Benefits cases are investigated and ap- proved by the Commissioner's Office before being paid and all expendi- tures accounts are audited by the Commissioner's Office and State Auditors annually.
The following is a list of cases which have been handled by this office during the year of 1957.

REPORT OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
1957
By Robert B. Ewing, County Agent-Manager
The Plymouth County Extension Service (Trustees, Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture), is located in the Court House, Brockton. In coopera- tion with the University of Massachusetts and the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, it provides information to Plymouh Couny citizens dealing wih the Home, 4-H Club Work and Agriculture.
Increased requests for information about the Home and Home Grounds have come from the folks who moved into Plymouth County towns from the city. This information has been provided through meetings, news releases, radio, special activities, telephone, letters, etc.
Citizens of this town should realize that this is a service provided by the County, State, and Federal governments and large numbers of people are availing themselves of the opportunity to secure helpful information concerning the Home, Home Grounds, 4-H Club work, and Agriculture. Requests for such information should be directed to the Plymouth County Exetension Service, Court House, Brockton, Mass.
Funds for County Aid to Agriculture are derived principally from the County. Some Federal funds are also made available through the Uni- versity of Massachusetts. Most towns in Plymouth County make a token appropriation which is used for the general expenditures of the Plymouth County Extension Service. Town Directors are appointed in those towns where an appropriation is made. These Town Directors are unpaid vol- unteer leaders who serve as the Extension Service representatives in their respective town.
The Board of Trustees appointed by the Plymouth County Commis- sioners administers the Extension Service program and is composed of the following members:
Gilbert Blackledge, Whitman, Chairman John Little, Marshfield
Mrs. Harold D. Bent, Brockton Paul Lehtola, Bridgewater
Robert Bowler, Plymouth Ralph McIlvana, Plympton Mrs. Roy Puddington, Hanson Mrs. Herbert Wydom, Brockton Maurice Makepeace, Wareham
