As a continued demonstration of the Salk Vaccine effectiveness, we were pleased to note the absence of polio cases for the third consecutive year. Tu- berculosis cases dropped from two to one with the single case being non-pul- monary. One fatality was noted in the cases of measles.
Birth returns totaled 183 for the year but will increase slightly due to late reporting from other communities. One still birth and ten pre-mature births were reported in this group with three fatalities among the pre-mature infants.
Our dental program indicated encouraging results as a drop was noted in both the spring and fall percentage of defects. The inspections also re- vealed an increasing number of children are seeing their dentist regularly.
The annual rabies inoculation clinic was held during the week of Sep- tember 29th and 258 licensed dogs were vaccinated.
Plumbing permits totaled 441 for the year, a decrease of 56 from 1957.
The pollution problem at King's Beach has improved this year by the in- stallation of a diversion valve in one of Swampscott's main underdrains. This valve is used to divert a highly contaminated drain into the sewerage system thereby preventing a substantial amount of sewage from flowing on King's Beach. The diversion of this drain also lowers the amount of chlorine necessary to combat the remaining sewage in the brook, to a level that could be met by our chlorinating machine. With the completion of this valve fur- ther studies are now being considered for the remaining town drain in Stacey Brook.
Rubbish, garbage, and dump contracts were signed for a three year pe- riod at an increased annual cost of $27,495.00. However for this increased cost, service has been substantially improved and modern packer type trucks are now employed in our refuse collection.
This report is submitted in keeping with the town policy of narrative form and detailed information will be made available upon request.

Department of Civil Defense
Forrest E. Mason, Jr. Director
The home is the basic unit of the community; and the basic unit on which defense of the home front must be built. Whether you are a house wife, sec- retary, business executive, or nurse, Civil Defense looks to you, to take an ac- tive role in protecting your home. No one else can do that job for you.
Your first duty in Civil Defense is to act at once to educate your family in self-protection against modern weapons, and to make your home safe as possible against the dangers of enemy attack.
Your second duty is to participate in your community Civil Defense or- ganization. Community civil defense can be effective only if the families of the community are solidly behind it and willing to give time and effort to make it work.
Left to Right, Swampscott Auxiliary Fire Department. Engine 5, Engine 1, Auxiliary Ladder "7".
There is another value in Civil Defense which is becoming more appar- ent by the day, that is its peace time use in Natural Disasters. There have been many recent instances where the organization and training for Civil Defense have paid great dividends in meeting peace time disasters. The train- ing that one gets in Civil Defense is useful in saving lives for either Nation- al or Natural disasters.
A few simple steps for family Civil Defense are as follows:
1. Know your air-raid alert signals and what to do when they sound.
2. Have at least one member of your family take a Red Cross First Aid Course.
3. Prepare a room or area in your cellar that will afford you the most protection.
4. Have at least four (4) days' supplies of canned goods and water stored for each member of your family.
5. Have a Planned Civil Defense action with your family so they will know what to do in case of any emergencies that might happen.
The nucleus of the Swampscott Civil Defense Department consists of the following Units:
A. Auxiliary Fire Dept.
B. Auxiliary Police Dept.
C. RescueCompany
D. Communication Dept.
The Auxiliary Fire Department is equipped with two Pumpers and a "5,000 Watt Mobile Lighting Unit."
The Lighting Unit was added to this department the past year. It is so equipped so that Power Tools may be used as well as lights. Except for the generator, this unit was entirely as-

sembled by the men of this department. The men are constantly attending drills and competition is held with other communities during the Spring and Summer.
SWAMPSCOTT RESCUE
SWAMPSCOTT'S NEW CIVIL DEFENSE RESCUE TRUCK
The Auxiliary Police Department is fully uniformed and equipped. The men in this department have been fully trained in the use of Fire Arms and Self Protection. The department's Pistol Team is activated during the win- ter months and weekly Shooting Matches are held with towns and cities on the North Shore. This team was champion in their league last year.
In the past year, the 1932 rescue truck was replaced. Through the ef- forts of the men in the Rescue Company, the new truck was remodeled to the specifications of a rescue truck. It is also equipped to haul the Mobile Light- ing Unit in case of emergency. The latest "Short Wave Radio" is installed to assure proper reception under difficult circumstances. The entire crew of this company have been trained at the State Civil Defense Rescue School. Weekly drills and exercises are held to insure that all gear is in operating condition.
The communication center is located in the Administration Building. The "Base Station," as it is called, is equipped and ready to operate on a twenty- four hour basis. Supplemented with a portable generator, this department can continue even if "power failure exists." Monthly radio drills are held with communities, as well as, weekly radio checks with units within the town. Three new short-wave sets have been obtained for this department this year tc supplement the three that were already in use.
Again may I say; that my sincere appreciation goes to the men and women of this town who are volunteers in "Civil Defense."

Accounting Department
I. Murray Adams, Accountant
Now that attention has been dramatically focused upon the financial plight of the state, and cities and towns, it might be well to attempt to eval- uate the factors involved. First, the condition is prevalent throughout the nation: Governor Rockefeller is seeking an additional two hundred and sixty million dollars to balance the state budget; New York City needs another one hundred million; Michigan has defaulted five million on its legal obliga- tion to support the state universities: California needs another ninety million and has a sales tax. So it goes across the nation. We are recovering from a recession, but the financial experts tell us that the government spent an ad- ditional three billion dollars to trigger the recovery, and that it was this fac- tor alone which started the economy on the upgrade. It is predicted that the federal government will end the present fiscal year with a deficit of 12 billion dollars. In December of 58 unemployment increased to over 4 million. The First National City Bank of New York speaks of "Recession without defla- tion."
It cannot be disputed that a good part of our financial trouble is due to inflation. Yet no carefully thought out plan has been proposed to solve the difficulty. The General Electric Company has suggested that the Governor set up a committee of non-partisan citizens to see that the Commonwealth gets full value for every dollar spent. However, as long as prices increase, government will cost more. Wage demands continue because of increased prices; it is a question as to when an attempt will be made to hold prices, thus obviating demands for higher wages. So far the matter has been handled most casually. Sometime the limit of endurance will be reached. It is a national problem, not a local one. England and West Germany have at- tained some measure of financial stability; if they can do it we can.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 61, Chapter 41, of the General Laws, the following report is submitted. It is arranged in accordance with rules prescribed by the Director of Accounts. A detailed report of the re- ceipts and expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1958, is available in this office.
