The assistance rendered by the 'Town's two military organiza- tions, Mrs. Mary Jackson's committee at the Town Hall and the Italian societies in the way of feeding parade participants was indispensable and we are profoundly grateful.

Board of Public Welfare
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The Board of Public Welfare submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1938.
The year 1938 has been one of more than average activity for the Board. The number of people who have been granted relief is comparable to the year 1936 and in excess of the previous year of 1937.
Of a total of 129 families aided during the year, 46 of these families have settlements outside of the town of Swampscott. Some

of the reasons for the increase is lack of employment in private in- dustries, failure of persons to receive unemployment benefits in a short period of time due to the operation of the unemployment laws, aliens not being eligible to be assigned to W. P. A. project and persons not capable of doing hard work.
Relief is a problem which requires the vital attention of the department and immediate action. In granting aid we are wholly governed by the Massachusetts Laws in Public Welfare, which have existed for more than a century, provided we find the recipient is eligible for relief.
A person in distress may not be deserving of consideration from a moral standpoint, nor even a citizen of the United States, never- theless it is the duty of the town wherein he is found in distress to relieve him.
We believe if the laws governing public welfare were thoroughly understood by more people, certain minor criticisms, either expressed or mental, relative to the administering of welfare might almost be answered before being made.
At the present time, we are forced to carry aliens on our rolls who through no fault of their own are unable to obtain employment, and because of their non-citizenship they are ineligible for W. P. A. employment. It would seem that the town should take steps to create some sort of a project whereby these people could be given part time work on the various town departments and thus eliminate a burden from the welfare department.
We have been fortunate in having so many people employed on the W. P. A. projects, but could ease a burden on our department if there were more projects for youths under the National Youth Ad- ministration.
This year for the first time since the inauguration of C. W. A., E. R. A., and W. P. A. projects in the town it became necessary for our department to expend funds for the transportation of Federal food and clothing from Salem to Swampscott due to the fact we could not have trucks detailed from W. P. A. projects for an hour or two, thus causing an added drain on our budget.
Due to the large amount of commodities received from the fed- eral government this year it was necessary to change our distributing center and at the present time we have one located at 442 Humphrey street and the other at 357 Essex street, thus causing an added ex- pense, although there are four clerks employed in these centers, whose salaries are paid by the federal government.
As in the previous two years we have made every effort to obtain reimbursements on money due from other cities, towns and state and have received a total of $8,266.70 which deducted from our original relief appropriation would make the net cost of welfare to the town $17,525.30, plus the amount of $1,240.55 which we are asking to cover unpaid bills for 1938.
For the benefit of the citizens of the town, we are listing a com- parison of the number of people aided, reimbursements and money due the town and money paid to cities and towns.

BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The Bureau of Old Age Assistance in submitting their report for the year 1938 wish to emphasize the fact that this is one department in the town that is continually growing, with a greater expenditure of funds necessary as the years go on. There seems to be little chance of relief on the taxpayer's purse because of the ever changing laws and the attitude of the government in restricting the age of people eligible for employment.
At the present time we are faced with a situation whereby able bodied persons, 65 years of age and over, who are employed on the W. P. A. and who are willing to work to maintain their families, are being forced on the old age assistance rolls because of a new regula- tion going into effect the first of the year. This regulation would work the two-fold objective of raising the cost of old age assistance work and giving an inadequate sum of money to many persons over 65 who have families to support.
During the year 1938 our rolls increased 18 per cent over the previous year and this can be attributed to our economic conditions, inability of elderly people to obtain work and a change in the law on September 27, 1938, whereby a person is now allowed $3,000. equity in property instead of the former amount of $2,000.
Of the total number of persons on our rolls 45 of these people, or 30 per cent of the total number aided, are persons with settlements outside of the town. Although the money is expended from our appropriation it is necessary for us to look to these outside cities and towns for reimbursements, and under the law they have two years in which to make payment before action can be taken. There are 35 old age assistance recipients having Swampscott settlements but living in other cities and towns, for which our town is responsible for one- sixth of the total amount alloted to these persons.
We have endeavored to make a thorough investigation of all persons on our rolls, but we find that the laws are very lax in admin- istering same and hope that the next session of the legislature will take steps to enact laws which will penalize the so-called "chisellers" who attempt to conceal information vital to the proper handling of a case.
For the knowledge of the citizens of the town we are submitting a comparison of persons aided on old age assistance for the past three years, and wish you to note the increase from year to year.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
1938]
The special Town Meeting held in October, 1938, appropriated to this department $6,500.00 to enable us to carry on for the remainder of the year. Federal reimbursements were later received therefore a balance of $3,561.90 was returned to the town.
We feel that our present quarters are inadequate for our needs and do not comply with the General Laws, Chapter 277, Section 3A, of the Acts of 1937. If the town considers building an addition to the present Town Hall we hope that provisions will be made so that this department may have an office on the main floor with a separate room for private interviews.
In conclusion we wish to state that we have endeavored to act at all times for the best interest of the town, with equal considera- tion given to the taxpayer as well as the recipient.
LIONEL J. MELANSON, JOSEPH P. HINES, DONALD REDFERN, Bureau of Old Age Assistance.
PUBLIC WELFARE INVESTIGATOR
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my annual report as investigator and visitor for the Board of Public Welfare and the Bureau of Old Age Assist- ance.
It was my duty during the year 1938 to make quarterly visita- tions to 175 old age assistance cases, 129 public welfare cases and 13 aid to dependent children cases.
This meant that over 1200 visits were made during the year to obtain reports for the Board of Public Welfare for their action and consideration, which was a great increase over the previous year.
In addition to all these calls which had to be made in accordance with the General Laws, it was necessary for me to make calls and visitations to the Boston and Salem offices of the W. P. A. in the interest of the town in having needy persons assigned to W. P. A. employment, whereby a burden would be relieved on the Welfare de- partment and also in the interest of persons who are striving to stay off the welfare rolls.
With the social security paying unemployment benefits for the first time and the delay of the Unemployment Compensation Commis- sion not granting the department access to their records until late in 1938, this entailed considerable more work and investigation to make sure persons were not trying to seek relief from more than one source.
It was also necessary for me to appear in court on various cases, to appear before the State Board of Appeals on numerous hearings relative to our department, and to visit the people we have in State Instituions, which is necessary in accordance with the law.
As Civilian Conservation Corps Selecting Agent for the town, I had the privilege of sending 14 boys to C. C. C. from needy families who not only benefited themselves and families but relieved a burden on the welfare department.
I have again this year as in the past received the fullest coopera- tion from the Swampscott Family Welfare Committee and the Visit- ing Nurse, Miss Sylvia K. Chesley, in addition to all other charitable organizations in the town and at this time wish to extend my thanks and appreciation.
DONALD REDFERN, Investigator.

SURPLUS COMMODITIES DISTRIBUTION
During the year 1938 we have continued to distribute Federal food and clothing commodities from our distributing centers located at 442 Humphrey and 357 Essex streets.
At the present time we have 200 families taking advantage of commodity distribution of which 115 are serviced from our main cen- ter on Humphrey street and the balance of 85 families receive their commodities at Essex street center.
We are listing the quantities of the various foods distributed during the present year:

Butter
21,135 lbs.
Grapefruit Juice
3,120 cans
Wheat Flour
27,611 lbs.
Graham Flour

Dry Skim Milk
800 lbs.
The above foods are valued at $12,959.70 and 10,712 pieces of clothing with a value of $6,686.95, making a total value of $19,646.65.
We have continued to distribute fresh milk daily and our output of 132 quarts daily in 1937 has increased to 288 quarts and the total distribution of milk for 1938 was 59,484 quarts.
There are 135 families availing themselves of the opportunity to receive an adequate supply of fresh milk. During the summer months ice is furnished by the state office of surplus commodities to prevent any ill effects to the milk.
Of a total of 288 quarts of milk distributed daily, 48 quarts are paid for by the town at the rate of 2c per quart and the balance of 240 quarts are sold to W. P. A. workers at the cost price of 2c per quart, thus affording needy families an essential commodity at a low price.
The above information was furnished to us by John C. Stalker, State Director of the Massachusetts Surplus Commodities Division, and the Chief Clerk of our local distribution center, Reginald L. Webb.
The distribution of these commodities has been a great asset to the welfare department and has aided materially in keeping our costs at a minimum.
JOSEPH P. HINES, Chairman, Board of Public Welfare.
W. P. A. CERTIFYING BOARD
As chairman and agent of the W. P. A. Certifying Board, it has been my duty to certify all persons eligible for work on Works Pro- gress Administration.
These certifications in turn are forwarded to the Boston W. P. A. headquarters for assignment to work projects, as they are the only ones who have authorization to assign workers and the town has no say as to who will work on a project.
We point out this fact so the citizens may know of the procedure followed in obtaining employment on the W. P. A.
209
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
1938]
Listed below you will note a tabulation of the number of workers employed and certified for the year 1938 and the number employed as of December, 1937.
Number of workers employed December, 1937 58
Peak of workers employed, 9/9-16/1938 138
Number of workers employed December, 1938 131
Number of applcations 1938 (new and re-applying) 210
Number of applications certified and re-certified 105
Number of applications not certified or not re-certified 105
The number of workers refers to those directly attached to local projects but it is understood that there has been about twelve others attached that are under federal or state projects and of which we have no information.
No requests from assignment division for certified workers has been received since the middle of November and those sent in at that time have not been assigned. Also number given does not signify that they are still waiting as some have gone to private employment and others not heard from since.
The large number employed on W. P. A. has been of great assist- ance to the town and has helped many persons to stay off the welfare rolls, but we still have a long waiting list.
We believe the above facts, some of which were furnished through the courtesy of the W. P. A. Co-ordinator office, will show to the citizens the large number of persons unable to seek private employ- ment and our need for more worthwhile projects.
JOSEPH P. HINES, Certifying Agent.
