The incidence of the common childhood diseases increased substantially over the last year especially Measles and German Measles, and we may expect a lower incidence in these diseases for the next year or two as the number of susceptible children will be relatively small. Four cases of Infectious Hep- atitis were reported with one death occurring from this disease. No cases of tuberculosis were reported this year, however, in spite of the decline in tuber- culosis there still remains a problem with unknown cases which are a hazard to every community. At present state wide plans are in progress through the joint efforts of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Massachu- setts Tuberculosis and Health League, and the Massachusetts Thoracic Society to eliminate tuberculosis. This can only be accomplished by more concentrated case finding methods, follow-up of active and arrested cases, contacts and screening programs. This department's activities in tuberculosis control for the past year included 196 visits to arrested and active cases, 325 visits to contacts and suspected cases, and a patch testing program in the community schools. A total of 964 pupils in Grades 1, 7, and 11 were patch tested with a result of 3 positive reactors being found. These results are very satisfactory and indicative of a low incidence of tuberculosis.

There was a great increase in the number of reported Streptococcal throat infections, and in connection with this disease our department cooperated jointly with the Heart Association and a local physician in conducting a throat culture survey to determine the incidence to strep throat infections among apparently well school children. The survey consisted of 90 throat cultures from three different age groups in our schools with the result of strep throats being found in 11 children at the time of culture, indicating more than 12% of the children examined were carrying strep organisms. These results are provocative in that they indicate many undetected and untreated infections may be occurring among our school children, some of which can cause Rheu- matic Heart disease in later life.
As the State Health Department expanded the polio vaccine program to include fourth doses of vaccine for children and adults, we conducted three clinics prior to the polio season, at which 1.356 persons received booster polio immunizations. Our community also completed its fifth consecutive year with- out a case of Polio.
Our regular Diphtheria and Tetanus Immunization program was carried on in the schools with a total of 146 Booster Immunizations being given in Grades 1, 6, and 11.
The School Health Program at St. John's Parochial School, with a total of 430 pupils, has been planned and carried out under the direction of the Health Department. Vision and Audiometer testing was done in compliance with the Massachusetts School Health Law. The majority of the physical examinations were performed by family physicians a system which has proven of great value to the department as well as the children. The Public Health Nurse has been available at all times for conferences with the parents and teachers, in relation to various health problems.
Dental Caries in our school children is still one of the major Public Health problems confronting us. In an effort to reduce the number of defects we conduct dental inspections in Public and Parochial schools twice a year, in kindergarten through the 6th Grades. Notices are mailed to parents whose children show a need for dental work, and follow-up visits are made by the Public Health Nurse to many of these families as an educational measure to discuss nutrition and proper dental care.
Examinations and samplings of Town Bathing Areas indicate these facil- ities were relatively free from pollution this year. Chlorination and partial diversion of Stacey Brook continued to produce satisfactory results at Kings' Beach.
234 of the 500 licensed dogs were inoculated at the annual rabies clinic this year and an additional 40 dogs received private vaccinations.
The number of Plumbing Permits issued dropped from 472 last year to 384 this year.
In December a new Refuse Disposal site contract was negotiated for three years with the DeMatteo Firm of Quincy and our dumping problem is elimin- ated for this period provided no drastic restriction or changes take place at the Dump site. As an insurance measure against the time when open dump- ing is no longer allowed we strongly urge the Town to complete its plans for a Municipal Incinerator so that we will be ready to construct this building when the need arises.
In conclusion we wish to emphasize the changing problems in Public Health especially those associated to the increasing older age population and the concomitant organic diseases of this group.

1960 Annual Report
Accounting Department
I. Murray Adams, Accountant
The economy continues troubled; unemployment is around 7%; over a million new cars are unsold; steel production is at 50% of capacity. Gross income is up; the cost of living continues to climb; production for the past five years has shown an increase of two percent per man hour, per year. There are a number of depressed areas, with the unemployed subsisting on a most meager diet, which is now being increased. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York states that business definitely fell off during the last two months of 1960. It is probable that methods will be devised to solve these difficulties which may prove to be a departure from past governmental policies.
On the labor front there have been some very critical strikes resulting in the disruption of essential services, and great inconvenience. Some feel that labor, by going to extremes, will inevitably cause the adoption of stringent legislation regulating the right to strike. Some years have passed since the teamsters union was first investigated, yet all efforts to compel conformance with the law have been futile. Clever lawyers, and legal technicalities have so far thwarted every effort of the Federal government.
The Kaiser Company, and Armour, have set up councils, representing labor, management and the public, which have met with some success. It is possible that a commission will be set up on the national level in an attempt to ward off strikes before they occur.
At all levels of government demands are many. It is difficult to sort out the necessary from the frivolous. It is highly probable that all government expenditures will continue to increase. The primary question is the method of distribution of increased tax burdens.
We are one of the wealthiest nations in the world, producing more than we can consume; manufacturing more than can be sold. In time, it is hoped, that some adjustment may be made in methods of distribution, so that con- ditions will improve. But there are these fundamental problems; increasing taxes; irresponsibility of some labor unions; increased cost of living, and in- creasing unemployment. It is a challenge which calls for some sacrifice. Hap- pily the new leadership is proceeding vigorously.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 61, Chapter 41, of the Gen- eral Laws, the following report is submitted. It is arranged in accordance with rules prescribed by the Director of the Division of Accounts. A detailed report of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1960, is available in this office.

Town of Swampscott
Board of Public Welfare
Norbert A. Ulman, Chairman Paul C. Curtis Richard Chambers Walter L. Ranger, Director
During the year 1960 our case load showed a slight increase over the previous year and our total expenditures for assistance increased from $200,- 481.18 to $207,677.17. However the net cost to the Town for the operation of the department decreased from $51,465.25 in 1959 to $36,277.05 for 1960.
On July 1, 1960 a cost of living increase of 5.2% was added to all public assistance budgets and at the present time the cost of living adjustment is 30.9% above the standards set in 1949.
Chapter 781 of the Acts of 1960 which became effective October 1, 1960 created a new category of public assistance entitled "Medical Assitsance for the Aged". The new program is for medical expense only and the rules and regulations regarding eligibility are far more liberal than under the Old Age Assistance program. The cost of the new program is divided as follows: 1/2 by the Federal Government, 2/3 of the balance by the State, and the remainder by the town of residence. Chapter 781 also provides for State reimbursement of 25% of our administrative expenses for the new medical program, Old Age Assistance, and Aid to Dependent Children program in addition to the Federal reimbursement of 50% previously received for administration.
Although the department is to receive reimbursement from the Federal and State amounting to 5/6 of our expenditures for medical assistance it is necessary for the Town to appropriate sufficient funds to cover the State and local shares as State reimbursements are returned to the Town and are not available for use of this department.
We wish to express our deep appreciation to the Swampscott Visiting Nurse Association who made 400 visits during 1960 on recipients of public assistance and to the Police Department for their prompt and considerate service in moving recipients to and from hospitals and nursing homes.
