DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICES
East Weymouth, Mass. December 31, 1958
The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall
East Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We wish to submit herewith to your Board and through your Board to the townspeople our Annual Report for the year 1958.
Our financial cost has been slightly in excess of our 1957 expenditures. This was due to economic conditions in this area. Because of antici- pated static condition in this respect we are asking for the same amount for Veterans' Benefits as we received in 1958. The Town has received amout $40,000.0 in returns from the state, but there is more due because the State returns do not reflect the entire year of 1958.
Because all town department expenditures are covered by our Town Accountant we are not giving detailed expenditures of our office in this report. However, it must be borne in mind that the town is reimbursed fifty percent of all expenditures for Veterans' Benefits, War Allowance, and Sate Burial Allowance.
We wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks to all those who assisted us in the performance of our duties this year. Also we wish to thank your Board and various Town Departments for their kind co- operation.
Respectfully submitted, F. I. LYONS, Director Department of Veterans' Services

REPORT OF DRAINAGE COMMITTEE
January 14, 1959
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Weymouth Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
During the year 1958, the Drainage Committee concentrated on drain- age of the Smelt Brook watershed.
On May 28, 1957, the Weymouth Drainage Committee, the Braintree Flood Control Committee, and the Norfolk Soil Conservation District sub- mitted an application for federal assistance, under the Watershed Pro- tection and Flood Prevention Act, Public Law No. 566. for the Smelt Brook watershed. Meetings were held by the joint committees and interested agencies to determine the feasibility of works improvement.
The Smelt Brook watershed includes approximately 1,549 acres of land situated within the Towns of Weymouth and Braintree. Smelt Brook empties into the Weymouth Fore River at Weymouth Landing. The ob- jective of the project is to reduce and minimize damages to residences, businesses, and to roads and streets in the urbanized section of the water- shed, caused by flooding during periods of excessive runoff from intense storms.
In a report of preliminary investigation submitted to the joint com- mittees on June 11, 1958 by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, initial studies of damage conditions and possi- bilities for works of improvement were found to be generally sound for assstance by the Soil Conservation Service under authority of Public Law No. 566.
On November 14, 1958, the Weymouth Drainage Committee and the Braintree Flood Control Committee notified Mr. Robert M. Moyer, Water- shed Work Plan Party Leader, of the Soil Conservation Service, that we were in favor of the Service working out a design that will entail exca- vating of the present Pond Meadow to a minimum of five feet.
The working plans are now being prepared. The cost of land takings and land damages to be borne by the Towns of Weymouth and Braintree. The entire cost of flood control, exclusive of land damages, to be borne by the federal government.
We wish to extend our thanks to Representative Herbert Hollis for his efforts for federal assistance on Smelt Brook program.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDREW A. CHISHOLM, Chairman EDGAR F. WALKER, Secretary LAURIE J. ESTABROOK DANIEL J. SLATTERY ARTHUR J. BILODEAU

SCHOOL HEALTH
In September and October the annual Toxoid Clinic was conducted. Children in Grades I, VI, and X who had been previously immunized and
233
at the request of their parents, received a booster dose of double antigen. This toxoide immunizes against diphtheria and tetanus.

The vision of nine hundred and fifty children of the parachial schools was tested. One hundred and twenty-two children failed the retest and their parents were notified.
The hearing of nine hundred and forty-three children of the paro- chial schools was tested. Sixty-four children failed the retest and their parents were notified.
Four hundred and eighty-one children were physically examined by the school physician. Parents were notified of any defects found.
A school clinic for the detection of tuberculosis was held in Grades II and XI of the public and parochial schools in April. Another clinic was held for the pupils of Grade XI in November. The testing was done by Dr. Jenkins of the Norfolk County Hospital in cooperation with the Board of Health, School Department and the Norfolk County Tuberculosis and Health Association .. The tests were performed by the Mantoux meth- od of using tuberculin prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Pub- lic Health. The purpose of the skin test is to find the children who have been infected with tuberculosis. A red spot will appear on the arm of an infected child. Children showing this evidence of infection will be X-Rayed to see if any damage has been done to the lungs. Tuberculosis of the lungs can be present in children who appear to be in good health.
The following are the results of the Mantoux Test in the parochial schools.

COMMITTEE TO REVIEW DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
January 13, 1958
Board of Selectmen
Weymouth Town Hall, Middle Street
Weymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The following is an interim report by the committee of five physicians appointed to review the administration, operation policy, procedures and services of the Department of Public Health.
This committee met and organized early in December, 1958. Notifica- tion of its organization has previously been mailed to you. At the same meeting it was voted unanimously by the committee to approach the Har- vard School of Public Health for recommendations relative to the selection of a qualified professional consultant in affairs of public health. Accord- ingly, the Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health was contacted. He, in turn, supplied the committee with a list of three qualified experts in the field who would be available for the purpose. This committee then unanimously chose Dr. Samuel Kirkwood of Winchester. Dr. Kirkwood was then approached by telephone and signified his interest to serve as a consultant, but asked that he be permitted to review this situation before giving his final approval.
At the present time, this committee is awaiting Dr. Kirkwood's final reply.
Yours sincerely, EDWARD H. NALBAND, M. D. Committee Secretary

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE
The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We submit herewith a report covering the activities of Civil Defense for the year 1958.
During the year, there has been an important change in the Civil De- fense set-up. This change will take place and effect only in case of a State Emergency called by the Governor of The Commonwealth in case of enemy attack. This change reclassifies The Town of Weymouth from a Reception area to that of an Evacuation area. To conform with this change, the Town is ordered to provide what is known as a Survival Plan, which will coincide with a plan outlined by the Federal Government. A plan of this type, which will involve voluntary evacuation is being worked out in conjunction and cooperation of all town departments and upon completion will be made available to the general public.
Other than the survival plan, there has been little substantial progress at the State and Federal levels. There is however some encouragement inasmuch as the Government, State and Towns are now working toward one basic plan. Also, there appears to be somewhat more interest and un- derstanding by the general public.
The Weymouth Civil Defense Committee has continued to function satisfactorily at the Town level through its active units: Auxiliary Police, Communications, and Radiological. These units are continuously working to improve their efficiency to be. of service to the general public should the occasion arise.
1958 brought the acquisition of an Amphibious Duck from the Federal Government for $100.00. This valuable addition will be used for rescue work during floods or any emergency occurring along the Waterfront. Other equipment acquired during the year 1958 is: Lightweight jackets for the Auxiliary Police, a new 25K V A generator for Civil Defense and Police Headquarters, additional radio equipment for our Communications division. The generator which was replaced in Civil Defense Headquarters was assigned to the Water Department. Practically all these items were purchased on a matched funds basis.
We wish to thank all those who have contributed, for their time and effort with special thanks to our active units who have voluntarily given many hours of their time to serve our townspeople. They deserve the highest consideration and appreciation of the entire town. To others, we would again say and remind them that there has been no change over the long years in the basic responsibility of all citizens to share in the com- mon defense.
Respectfully submitted, HERBERT W. CAUSER, Director Weymouth Civil Defense Committee

ANNUAL REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
January 15, 1959
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall
East Weymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen:
We submit herewith the annual report of the Park Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1958.
Mr. John Fisher was appointed to serve on the Park Board, replacing Mr. Everett J. McIntosh, who was elected to the Public Works Commission.
The Summer Playground Program, with twelve supervised playgrounds, opened on June 23, 1958 with a staff of one supervisor, three specialists and twenty-one instructors. Instructors were appointed as a result of competitive examinations.
