Number of Prenatal Visits 43


Number of Infant Wfelare Visits


132


Number of Visits for Pre-school Children 115

ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


2. At the Summer Round-up sponsored by the School Department, two thirds of the entering class re- ported for examination.


3. During July and August the Board of Health sponsored a Dental Clinic for pre-school children. Twenty-seven (27) children had dental defects corrected and work completed.


4. Children in the mentally retarded group received a thorough check-up at the special clinic.


5. Children in the Tuberculosis Clinic group receiv- ing follow-up care, x-rays and examinations, have shown splendid improvement.


6. The results of the Audiometer Test are somewhat disappointing. Fourteen (14) new cases having defective hearing.


7. As in previous years, the Nursing Service spon- sored a clinic for the correction of nose and throat de- fects. This work was done in the South Weymouth Hos- pital. Only half the usual number of cases received treat- ment. Parental difference is suspected as the reason. After all, parents should realize their obligations to their children. Failure to do so may result in serious conse- quences to the child's health if defects are neglected. I re- fer, of course, to all other defects including those of the nose and throat.


8. At the clinic sponsored by the Board of Health, seventy-nine (79) children received treatment for preven- tion of Diphtheria; thirty-seven (37) were of pre-school age.


Since the Secretary of the Nursing Service will, no doubt, give a more detailed report in regard to the ap- pointment of an assistant, I shall only mention the fact that although the Board had voted in December 1937 to


190


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


give the nurse a helper whenever needed, difficulty arose when it became apparent that no helper was available when actual need existed, and helpers galore were ready when the emergency had passed.


Assistance given over a period of ten (10) months, averaged one day per month. Finally, after going deeply into the possibilities of getting a full time nurse assistant, it was agreed by the members of the four branches of the Health Department that a full time, non-nurse assistant would be provided. It is too early to judge the results, but the pressure of work has been eased considerably. Miss Helen Chicko, who, by training and experience qualified; received the appointment. She has given in- estimable volunteer service to the Health Department during the past six (6) years. Plan of work requires two days per week for school Dental Clinic work. Other days to performing duties such as assisting at clinics, making surgical dressings and supplies; keeping the physical card of each school child up to date, and various other clerical work and etc.


I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the out- going president Mrs. M. B. Gillespie. Her sympathetic understanding of the problems confronting a nurse, has been a source of great comfort to me. It is good to know that she is not completely severing her ties with the Nurs- ing Service, but will remain to give the group the fruits of her experiences in the work.


To the Board Members; Doctors; Town, Health, and School Officials; Teachers and Parents, I extend my ap- preciation for your cooperation which has added much to the pleasure in serving as your Public Health Nurse.


Respectfully submitted,


MARGARET J. O'DONNELL, R. N. Public Health Nurse.

REPORT OF COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE


THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE (Trustees County Aid to Agriculture)


This service is available to every community and family in each of the towns of the county. It brings to each of our towns the resources not only of the local organization, but of Massachusetts State College, espec- ially of its extension service with its corps of special- ists in phases of agriculture and home making.


The Extension Service looks to the towns for assist- ance in planning and carrying out the local program. In 1938, there were 560 men and women in the county giv- ing this type of help. With their assistance, 5000 Plym- outh County homes participated directly in the program, and many others indirectly. Sixteen hundred boys and girls from 10 to 21 years old enrolled in 4-H clubs, 1300 farms were definitely influenced by the agricultural ex- tension work, 1094 were enrolled in home demonstra- tion groups, and many others received help through home and farm visits, letters, telephone and office calls, and other means.


Farmers and others interested in farm projects have participated chiefly in the following programs: dairy, poultry, fruit, market garden, farm management, cran- berry culture.


Homemakers have participated in various programs in nutrition, clothing, food preservation, home grounds improvement, furniture renovation, kitchen improve- ment, child development, and recreation.


192


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


4-H clubs include poultry, dairy, garden, conserva- tion, handicraft, food, canning, clothing, home furnish- ing, and other agricultural or homemaking subjects.


Scituate's chief agricultural interest has been in the market garden, poultry, and fruit programs. Farmers have also participated in dairy and cranberry meetings.


Homemakers have enrolled in clothing and recrea- tion groups and have participated in the home grounds improvement program. Boys and girls were enrolled in the 4-H garden project.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1938


Completing the erection of a standpipe in the latter part of June marked the achievement of a major objec- tive of the Water Commissioners, from the time the water system was taken over by the Town. The capacity of the standpipe is 1,250,000 gallons and furnishes the very much needed additional storage. The new standpipe and the old standpipe now provide a total storage of 1,500,000 gallons.


The hurricane of September 21, 1938, proved very definitely the value of this additional storage, and if it had not been available, it would have become necessary to pump filtered water from the Old Oaken Bucket Pond. With this storage, however, it was possible to carry the town, at that time of the year, through the period, about 28 hours, when electric power was not available, without serious loss of head. The condition of the power lines was so indefinite, however, that the diesel motor was put in operation and preparations made to pump from the Greenbush Station.


Necessary maintenance and extension work was car- ried on during the summer, but because the Commission- ers realize that there is a serious unemployment situa- tion which becomes definitely acute in November and December, the greater part of the extention work was carried on in the latter part of the year.


196


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


This attempt on the part of the Commissioners to lessen the burden of unemployment has been very satis- factory and should be continued. Thus the money appro- priated for the Water Department, for labor, is earned and received by the men at a time when other activities in the town are discontinued for the winter months.


Once more the water rates have been lowered by the Commissioners, and in 1939 the initial charge will be $9.00 which is a reduction of one half the initial rate $18.00 in 1931 when the system was taken over by the Town. We also beg to call your attention to the statistics in the superintendent's report that indicate the reduction in pumping costs from $102.46 per million gallons in 1930, to $44.34 per million gallons in 1938.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1938


Board of Water Commissioners, Scituate, Mass.


Gentlemen:


Herewith I beg to submit the seventh annual report of the Scituate Water Dept., containing a chronicle of the work completed during the year 1938, and recom- mendations for the consideration of the Commissioners.


Outstanding among the major activities of the Scitu- ate Water Dept., in 1938 was the erection of a welded steel standpipe. Proposals having been sent out in Dec. 1937, the bids were opened and accepted on January 12, 1938. The contract for furnishing and erecting the steel was awarded to the Pittsburgh Des Moines Steel Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the concrete foundation having been cast in December 1937. The fabrication and erection of the steel was carried on expeditiously by the contractor and on April 30, water was turned into the standpipe to test the bottom, and on May 7, 1938, the standpipe was full, and the test complete. The new main as well. as the standpipe had been thoroughly chlorinated during the test. The standpipe was then emptied, the water being wasted in a nearby gravel bank, and the work of painting started. The standpipe was sand blasted inside and out, and three coats of paint (two prime coats and a finish coat) were applied, the inside finish coat being black and the outside gray. The paint was allowed to dry for a week before the water was turned in. The standpipe was again


198


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


chlorinated, filled, and emptied. On June 23, the stand- pipe was full of water and in service.


The wisdom of having an additional standpipe of this size in the system was very definitely established by the hurricane on Sept. 21, 1938. The storm put the elec- tric power lines out of service for twenty-eight hours and there was, at the end of that time, a safe supply in the standpipes so that it was not necessary to use filtered water from the Old Oaken Bucket Pond.


Labor, for the W. P. A. project to lay mains and set three hydrants at the Jenkins. School, became available the latter part of March, and this work was completed in about four weeks, thus providing hydrant service for the school building.


In conjunction with the W. P. A. work, the Water Dept., replaced old small or shallow lines on Ridge Hill and Crescent Ave., and placed hydrants for fire protec- tion in these sections.


During the early part of the year a main was laid on Cedarwood Road to furnish water for domestic and fire service to a new development of several houses.


Extensions were made through the year, as shown in the accompanying tables, for domestic service and fire protection, and also to complete part of a grid.


Part of the work was done in November and Decem- ber, particularly to take care of unemployed labor, and about sixty men carried on the payroll at a time when there was little, if any, other employment.


More of the many shallow lines and services in Humarock were elminated by the installation of mains in the section south of Marshfield Avenue along the beach front. This work should be continued until the entire


199


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


grid is complete as many property owners are staying at the beach until freezing weather comes, and in some cases the owners are becoming permanent residents.


The hurricane on Sept. 21, 1938, demonstrated very definitely the desirability of an independent standby unit to operate one or more sets of pumps in case of emer- gency. The present diesel unit driving a generator by belt, will furnish power for one unit, and this, together with the water storage we now have, would carry over a short period. I would recommend, however, the installa- tion of a generator with double the capacity of the pres- ent one, which could be operated more economically with the diesel motor we now have, and which would furnish sufficient power to operate at least two units in Webster Meadow, and furnish lights and power at the Old Oaken Bucket Plant.


The greater part of the water being used in the Town is obtained from Webster Meadow and has in- creased in hardness. While this condition is not serious, it can be remedied easily by the installation of a Zeolite water softening plant. Soft water would not only save a considerable part of the expense for soap, but would also add greatly to the life of the washed clothes and the com- fort of the consumer.


I believe this matter should receive careful consider- ation by the Commissioners.


There are as yet, many shallow and small lines that must be replaced by mains of not less than six inches diameter and this work should be continued as rapidly as feasible.


The water main on Jericho Road from Beaver Dam Road to Turner Avenue, is entirely inadequate for fire


200


ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1938


service, and should be replaced with a main of not less than ten inches diameter.


On Front Street, which is the principal business sec- tion of the town, there exists a condition that should be remedied in the very near future. There are no valves in this main between Beaver Dam Road and Brook Street, and if any trouble develops, it is necessary to shut off the entire business section to make repairs, and of course, the hydrants are temporarily out of use, in addition to the inconvenience of no available water in the buildings. I would recommend the installation of at least two valves in this section.
