ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Town of Middleborough Town Hall Middleboro, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The Annual Report - an attempt by a department head to give a report in writing of the many happenings in the day-to-day operation of his department.


Since the activities of a specific department often repeat themselves year after year, new and startling information concerning the activities of a department is often difficult to present.


Certain changes have occurred during the past year which have been adequately reported in other news media, others have purposely been left out of the information given to representatives of news gathering enterprises.


In summary, our day-to-day efforts have included:


Bi-monthly pickup of trash and waste materials.


Weekly house-to-house garbage collection.


Inspection and follow-up calls relating to health hazards, one vio- lation necessitating court action.


Issuance of the myriad types of licenses, permits, and registrations involving public services to duly qualified personnel.


Scheduled and non-scheduled visits to eating, drinking, and food preparation establishments to check on general cleanliness and germ and disease control.


Periodic analysis, which included use of outside agencies, of the specific results by food and drink serving establishments by use of swab tests


Cooperation, financially as well as with personnel, in conjunction with the Middleboro District Nursing Association, in providing Public Health Nurse service to disabled citizens, whether they be recuperative, infirm, or elderly.


A dental clinic, conducted by a competent dentist, Dr. George P. Canucci, operated during school hours with the assistance of the Public School Nurse, providing effective and efficient analysis of children's dental problems. Confidential notices were sent to the parents involved.


Post-natal care of prematurely born children and their mothers through a follow-up program conducted by the Public Health


122


ANNUAL REPORT


Nurse. We have a record of twenty-two prematurely born children in Middleboro, eighteen of which occurred in Middleboro at the St. Luke's Hospital. Financial assistance when merited has been arranged through this office.


Several specific programs aimed at the continuing problem of com- municable diseases (further information follows).


During the last several years, immunization programs have been undertaken by various levels of local, state, and federal governments. These programs have helped to attain virtual control of the "polio" problem as well as diptheria, smallpox, tetanus, typhoid and whooping cough.


Communicable diseases can and do spread quickly and virtually without warning. Thus, it is one of the most important responsibilities of this Department to keep up to date in promoting various types of clinics in conjunction with State Public Health authorities in an attempt to combat those serious public enemies.


During 1962, the Town of Middleboro, considering its population, became second to no other municipality in its acceptance of the new Sabin oral type polio vaccine. Over one-half of the population received Types I and III vaccine. This department charged twenty-five cents for each adult receiving the treatment. This helped to pay for the vaccine used in immunizing the school children. Five separate clinics were held in both May and June, totalling over five thousand separate doses. A formal word of thanks is due the Middleboro District Nursing Associ- ation Volunteers as well as our Public Health and Public School Nurses, Mesdames Mary Korpinen and Mary Edgerly.


We have planned several clinics during the early months of 1963, encompassing Type I Sabin Vaccine in January, Type II in March, and Type III in May, following suggested objectives set up by the State Department of Public Health.


In the month of September, the high school students were given the "Heaf" test, one designed to indicate exposure to the tuberculin bacillus. Twenty-six of those tested indicated positive reactions. Thus, further tests and X-Ray examinations were conducted with the cooper- ation of the Plymouth County Tuberculosis Hospital and final results indicated that none of those were actually infected.


Ten new cases of Tuberculosis were discovered during the year, nine adults - one child, eight of those with the lung type infection - two with the spinal type. The Plymouth County Hospital helped in the care of those with lung TB and the Lakeville Sanitorium helped with those with the spinal type. Our own Public Health Nurse visited the 'home' cases several times to make certain that proper home care was being given.


Infectious hepatitis, another communicable disease, manifested it-


123


ANNUAL REPORT


self three times in the adult population. Humma gamma globulin serum was provided local physicians by this office in order to get a positive immunity established as soon as possible after infection.


Childhood diseases - so-called - chicken pox, measles, German measles, mumps, etc. continue to be reported by parents and attending physicians. These reports, however, continue to indicate that many oc- currences are neither reported to the family physician nor are consid- ered more than a 'touch of the grippe' by parents. Unfortunately serious side effects have developed from these childhood diseases and the necessary reporting of those diseases allows the Town to receive its proper share of vaccines of different types such as the human gamma globulin serum. Access to existing supplies of many of these series is provided through the cooperation of the St. Luke's Hospital.


Diptheria, tetanus, typhoid and whooping cough clinics were held for pre-school children as well as for those school-age children who had not previously received those shots. Continuing plans for the new year include several clinics for this type of immunization.

Shortly after World War II, a significant decrease in the venereal diseases was realized. Unfortunately, this trend has not continued. V.D. is a serious problem once again. It should be emphasized here and in every possible educative bulletin that no person's name is ever placed on venereal disease report cards - merely the incidence of a type of venereal disease. The privacy of the doctor's office is insured. In certain types the patient is cautioned about his personal health habits for a period and several visits to a doctor's office are usually required. The necessity to prevent further spreading of these diseases is one of the most serious situations we have to cope with at this time. Young people particularly the teen-age group should be properly cautioned and be made to realize how serious the long-run side effects are.


In our report a year ago we stated that many thousands of words had been written and spoken by many persons at every level of govern- ment concerning the Town Dump. Since that report many more words have been written, spoken, and printed by citizens, town and state officials. A solution to the Town Dump was almost reached. However, several of the citizens felt they should be heard further on this matter and the Annual Town Meeting has been designated as the place where any further discussion will take place. Progress, while slow at times, is certainly being made.

ANNUAL REPORT


Continuing medical research has pointed accusing fingers at dia- betes and eye diseases in recent years. These two situations disable more persons than previously realized and several national health organ- izations have recommended that local Boards of Health inaugurate specific programs for investigations of these two areas in the adult population of the country. This office intends to set up a glaucoma clinic (conducted by an opthamologist) and a diabetes clinic (conducted in conjunction with the State Department of Public Health) in order to bring undiscovered cases of these diseases to the attention of the per- sonal family physicians.


Our Plumbing Inspector, Mr. Harry Rowe has covered the areas of his responsibility in a separate report. It should be mentioned here that since the General Court has approved a new Sanitary Code for the Commonwealth. a greater emphasis on certain phases of the code has been placed in the areas of plumbing, subdivision control, and sewerage disposal facilities.


In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks formally to my associates


Messrs. Rowe and Ortelt Mesdames Korpinen and Edgerly for their cooperation and help during the year. The Town Manager, Edwin O. Wilson and his secretary, Mrs. Anne Rogers have been most helpful to me as well as all other Town Employees. Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT CARTMELL, R.S. Health Officer

Under Masachusetts law, dairy cattle moved into Massachusetts must be accompanied by both a permit and a certificate of health bear- ing the approval of the livestock official of the state from which cattle were shipped and indicating said animal or animals to come direct from tuberculosis-free accredited herds or qualified negative herds from mo- dified accredited tuberculosis-free areas. If such herds have not passed a negative tuberculin test within twelve (12) months prior to entry the cattle from these herds to be imported into the state shall be tuberculin tested within thirty (30) days prior to entry. All cattle six (6) months of age or over imported for dairy or breeding purposes must be accom- panied by an official certificate stating such female cattle have been officially vaccinated for brucellosis between the ages of four (4) through eight (8) months.

The director, his authorized agent or a veterinarian desig- nated by the director shall make by random selection such blood tests for brucellosis of all cattle imported into the commonwealth as will effectively control brucellosis

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS UNDER THE ZONING BY-LAW


Twelve matters came before the Board of Appeals in 1962. Seven petitions were allowed with restrictions or limitations. One petition was filed in 1962 but not heard in that year. One petition was allowed but was appealed to Superior Court. Three petitions were denied.


An appealed case of previous years was settled by decree of Su- perior Court.


The Board of Appeals recommends to those planning to bring a petition for a variance before the Board of Appeals to read carefully the petition form and answer all statements applicable and also to study the Zoning By-Law, particularly page 10, paragraph 3, which states the three elements which must be shown to obtain a variance.

ANNUAL REPORT


BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Middleborough, Massachusetts


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,


Town of Middleborough, Massachusetts Gentlemen:


During 1962 permits were issued for new construction for business and industrial purposes amounting to $172,850. While this was less than in 1961, there are several projects still in the planning stage, one of which would amount to considerably more than the above figure.


An important committee of the Commission is working on plans for the development of the center of town.


Further revisions are being made in a brochure about Middlebo- rough for distribution to industries. This will be published in 1963.


The Commission is continuing to develop and follow up vigorously all leads for new industrial construction.


Respectfully submitted, For the Commission
