REPORT OF COMMITTEE TOWN OF WEYMOUTH VETERANS' DAY COMMITTEE
November 20, 1959.
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
In accordance with a vote taken under Article 1, Item 29A and Item 29B of the Warrant of the Annual Town Meeting of 1959, the committee presents a final report on its Veterans' Day Observance for November 11, 1959.
The Committee:
Chairman, Minot R. Edwards, 26 Hilltop Road, North Weymouth (Post 78, American Legion)
Vice-Chairman, Owen Garber, 230 Thicket Street, South Weymouth (Post 9260, V.F.W.)
Secretary, Bartlett Bulman, 12 Georgia Street, South Weymouth (Post 401, American Legion)
Earl D. Saley, 31 Suwanee Road, East Weymouth
(Post 1399, V.F.W.)
Charles H. Heger, 983 Commercial Street, East Weymouth (Chapter 65, DAV)
Gordon G. O'Brien, 28 Adorn Street, Weymouth
(Chapter 320, Purple Heart)
Frank J. Purpura, 48 Blackstone Street, North Weymouth Post 155, AMVETS)
Hazel A. Theriault, 408 North Street, North Weymouth
(Tent 32, D. of U. Vets)
Robert W. Pratt, 120 Oak Street, South Weymouth (Camp 36, Sons of U. Vets)
The Committee after discussion voted to make a change in the custo- mary procedure of march of parade for this year by limiting the parade from Jackson Square, East Weymouth, to the Civic Center, one way only and serving a collation in the High School Cafeteria after the parade and exercises.
The School Committee gratiously agreed to the use of the school cafeteria, and the police department also were very favorable to the change in route. All who participated in the parade also favored the change. In the decoration of the veteran graves with new 49-star flags, the same procedure was used wherein each veteran group was allotted its own cemetery.
Unusually fine co-operation was had from Town Graves Officer Wil- liam Connell, who compiled the list of veterans who had passed away during the year. Mr. Connell also kept custody of flags, ribbons and grave markers in a most able manner during the year.
The committee is most appreciative of Town Moderator Dan O'Donnell, who pinch-hit in delivering the Address of the Day with short notice. The committee also appreciates the work of the two school bands, the police and fire departments and the public works during the parade.
Respectfully yours, MINOT R. EDWARDS, Chairman.

SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
November 24, 1959.
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project of its activities in the Town of Weymouth for the year ending December 31, 1959.
The Town of Weymouth appropriated $8,500.00 for mosquito control in 1959.
The basic program of control continued to be based on drainage in the off-season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding during the mosquito season. This program was supplemented by ground appli- cation of DDT dust to selected areas during the period when the swamps were frozen. Fog generators and a mist blower were used to combat flying mosquitoes.
The cumulative effect of the work of past winters has changed the work of the Project's crews. The winter dusting has stopped the breeding in many small places, making it possible for the crews to contend better with those left and to search for hitherto unnoticed spots. The drainage has eliminated some crew spraying and much air spray acreage, thus making it possible to absorb higher costs, deal with new breeding areas found or created, and yet keep the yearly budget requests the same.
In the Town of Weymouth the following ditch work was done: 910 ft. of ditches cleaned, 5050 ft. reclaimed, and 275 ft. of new ditch has been dug. As a consequence of the construction of the Southeast Expressway and the wet summer, heavy ground crew spraying and fogging was neces- sary, making it necessary to restrict drainage work to keep within the budget. Any work done this winter will be that which can take advantage of the better run off afforded by the Town's drainage projects of the Expressway construction.
The record breaking rains of early, through mid-summer added to our summer spray season. These rains coming during the Culex (house mosquito) breeding season, this specie preferring to breed in and around residential areas and in man-made receptacles (such as tin cans, bird baths, tires, etc.) increased the above normal population of this fierce biting pesky mosquito. These rains also caused areas normally dry in summer monts to reflood, adding to our Vexans population. These, along with other problems, gave us one of our heaviest mosquito years.
However, the Project tried maintenance, our method of operation as in other years, giving priority to this order:
1. Drainage of salt marsh and fresh water areas;
2. Larvaciding of all breeding areas (spraying), air, power sprayers and hand spraying;
3. Adulticiding (fogging and mist blowers).
In spite of these in a stepped-up form, mosquitoes were a much talked of problem throughout the summer. However, conditions would have been much worse without mosquito control, as others will bear out in areas outside of mosquito control districts.
161
Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis in south New Jersey rose to epi- demic stage, which should tend to stress to taxpayers of the area the need for a continued mosquito control program, until we can find out for sure if the mosquito is the carrier and to attack and control these.
The spring spraying of all fresh water swamps too large to be treated by hand was done in the latter part of April and first of May. 2635 acres were sprayed in the Town of Weymouth.
As was done last winter, some aerial applications of dusts will be made. This procedure reduces the spring spraying which must be fitted into the few days in April suitable for air spraying.
The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that the benefits derived by these departments as a result of this co-operation are as great as those derived by the Project.
