REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
165
The Board of Health
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The Board of Health herewith submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1937, together with those of its various officers:
The year 1937 has been an exceedingly busy one for this depart- ment.
The outbreak of chicken pox, measles, mumps and whooping cough, that began during November, 1936, reached its peak in Jan- uary, when 213 cases were reported. This outbreak was not confined to this community alone, but was general throughout the State.
One case of typhoid fever was reported, but we were unable to find any evidence that the disease was contracted here.
Two cases of anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) were reported in August and three in September. Fortunately all of the cases were mild in nature.
Fifty-five citizens and fifteen non-residents have been bitten by dogs this year. The heads of six dogs and two cats were sent to the State for examination and four of the dogs were found to have pos- itive cases of rabies. It was necessary to provide anti-rabic treat- ment for thirteen persons who had been bitten or intimately exposed to the saliva of the afflicted dogs.
Free clinics were held again this year for the purpose of giving the citizens an opportunity to have their dogs immunized against rabies and thereby not only protect themselves and their animals, but to make it possible to eliminate the necessity of restraining the dogs. It has been interesting to note that those who attend the clin- ics are the ones who do so year after year, while the citizens who are opposed to the restraining of their dogs are the very ones who do not co-operate and who consider that the liberty of their dogs is more important than the health and happiness of their fellow cit- izens. Rabies is a disease that can be eradicated as easily and as thoroughly as diphtheria, therefore it is hard to understand why 450 of the 700 dog owners of our town should deliberately jeopardize the lives of their dogs, themselves and their neighbors by failing to take advantage of the opportunity for protection when it is offered to them, free of charge.
Seven cases of pulmonary and five cases of child-type tubercu- losis have been reported during the past year. Five patients were admitted to the Essex County Sanatorium at Middleton, and one pa- tient to Lakeville State Sanatorium at Middleboro. Four patients have been discharged from Essex Sanatorium during the year, two to continue treatment at home, one for infractions of the rules and one against advice. At this time there are five patients receiving sanatorium care at the expense of this department. There are a con- siderable number of cases receiving treatment at home who are under the constant supervision of this department.
Events of the past two years or more convinced the board that if the children in our public or private schools are to be safeguarded from tuberculosis, steps should be taken to make sure that the teach- ers and other employees of the schools, who are constantly in inti- mate contact with the children, are free from tuberculosis before they are employed, therefore the board, acting under the authority given it under the provisions of Section 31 of Chapter III of the General Laws, Tercentenary Edition, adopted the following reg- ulation which should eliminate the occurrence of situations similar to those which have existed heretofore.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
Procedure in Cases of Tuberculosis
(a) No child who is found or known to be afflicted with tuber- culosis shall be permitted to attend a public or private school with- out a permit from the Board of Health or Health Officer.
(b) No person may be employed as a teacher or otherwise in- struct children in a public or private school in the town of Swamp- scott, without a permit from the Board of Health or Health Officer. Before issuing such a permit the Board of Health or Health Officer may require such a person to submit to an X-ray, physical exam- ination and such other accepted procedures as are deemed necessary to determine the presence of tuberculosis. All such permits shall expire on the thirtieth day of June following the date of issue, un- less sooner revoked.
(c) A teacher or other person found or known to be afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis, or any other form of tuberculosis, which might endanger the health of the children in a public or priv- ate school in the town of Swampscott, shall be excluded therefrom and the Board of Health or Health Officer notified of the name and address of the person so excluded. A teacher or other person so excluded shall not again teach or otherwise come in contact with children in a public or private school until a permit has first been obtained from the Board of Health or Health Officer. Before issuing such a permit the Board of Health or Health Officer may require said person to submit to a physical examination, X-ray and such other accepted procedures as are deemed necessary to determine whether said person can safely resume his or her duties.
(d) Examinations shall be made by a physician or physicians designated by the Board of Health or Health Officer. All such ex- aminations shall be free of charge or expense to the person examined. A person so examined may have his or her physician present at the examination, X-ray or other procedures.
Semi-annual examinations have been made of the teeth of the children in the elementary grades of the public and parochial schools and the necessary work done when authorized and requested by the parents.
The disposition of rubbish and waste material, by dumping, has always been a bone of contention and cause of complaint and will, without doubt, continue to be a problem for years to come. The members of this board are personally opposed to public dumps, but when we stop to consider the revenue that the town is now receiv- ing from property on Forest, Franklin and Norfolk avenues, Banks, Burpee, Devens and Paradise roads, Curry circle, Erie, Huron and Pine streets, as well as our present Phillips Park, all of which has been made possible by the maintenance of dumps, we must admit and we feel that the citizens can not help but agree that dumps have been an asset to the town in spite of all that has been said about them.
New bids for collecting and removing ashes, garbage, paper and other waste material from January 1, 1938, to December 31, 1942, and the removal thereof outside the limits of the town, were adver- tised for in accordance with the by-laws, and awarded to Joseph G. Wilkish, who was the only bidder, for the sum of $13,000 per year. A bond in the sum of $3,000 has been furnished and filed with the Town Accountant for the faithful performance of the provisions of the contract. Under the new contract all ashes, garbage, paper and other waste material must be removed outside the limits of the town as soon as collected and it is the intention of the board to see that it is done.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
167
New rules and regulations governing the keeping and exposing for sale of articles of food, confectionery and beverages have been adopted by the State Department of Public Health, as required by law.
We have also revised our sanitary and health regulations there- by removing many obsolete and bothersome regulations from our books and making the handling of cases of communicable diseases more in keeping with present day methods.
A detailed report of the work of the department will be found in the reports of the various officers.

CLARENCE W. HORTON,

Milk Inspector
To the Board of Health:
I herewith submit the following report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1937:
Disputes between producers and dealers as well as those between state and federal milk administrators have been responsible for the chaotic conditions which have existed in the milk industry during the past year. In spite of the chaos the quality of our milk and cream supply has been exceptionally good this year. Entrance of new dealers into the field and the resultant competition that has existed
175
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
1937]
have been the chief factors in keeping our supply at its present high standard.
In keeping with the policy of this department during the past eight years, no permits have been granted for street sales of ice cream. Applications were received from four concerns for such per- mits and all were denied. None of the applicants expressed the desire to test our authority to prevent street sales of ice cream, in view of the fact that the courts have upheld the action of this department in previous cases.
One case of typhoid fever was reported during the year. A thor- ough investigation was made of the case but we were unable to find any evidence that involved our milk supply.
The sum of $41.50 has been collected for licenses issued during the year and the said amount has been paid to the Collector and his receipt obtained.
The following licenses and permits have been issued during the year:
To dealers
29
To stores
49
To sell ice cream in stores

Dental Clinic
To the Board of Health:
I herewith submit the following report of the activities of the Dental Clinic for the year ending December 31, 1937:
The dental condition of the school children has been brought to a very high standard but only constant attention will maintain this standard. The value of the dental supervision is shown in the very small number of extractions of permanent teeth owing to the care of these teeth immediately after their eruption. If these sixth year molars are retained, it means the rest of the teeth naturally assume their proper place and dental health is preserved. .
Every child of the six lower grades has been examined twice a year and 327 mouths have been put into proper condition in the clinic and the other children referred to their respective family dentists.
A detailed summary of the work follows:
Extractions (temp. teeth) 254
