My sincere appreciation is expressed to the State Police of the Rehoboth Barracks for their fine cooperation and assistance, and also to Inspector White and Inspector Bednarz of the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
The prevention of traffic accidents requires not only caution, but foresight as well. It is difficult for some people to realize that the only way to stop accidents is to take adequate preventive measures before the accident. Therefore, it is up to you to start earlier and drive slower.
I wish to thank the Reserve Officers for the efficient way they handled the different assignments throughout the year. I also wish to thank the citizens of our Town for the cooperation they have shown in maintaining Law and Order.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES H. MASON, Chief of Police

REPORT OF TOWN HISTORIAN
To the Board of Selectmen:
During the past year I have begun to select and organize material for a written history of Dighton. However, I still welcome additional information. Once again, I ask for an opportunity to inspect old deeds, letters, maps, account books and ships' logs.
I wish to express my appreciation to Mrs. Aguas of Berkley, who, by loaning me notebooks written by her father, Professor Edmund Delabarre, has given me considerable acquaintance with very old maps of the Taunton River Valley, as well as information about Dighton history.
Last year I suggested six goals for our 250th Anniversary in 1962. I will add one this year-the completion of a simple story of our town's history for use in our schools.
Respectfully submitted, HELEN H. LANE, Town Historian
REPORT OF HARBOR MASTER
To the Board of Selectmen :
The use of the harbor of Dighton for moorings, and the enjoyment of boating is still on the increase. If this rate continues, it will be increasingly difficult to locate a proper mooring site for all who apply.
The presence of the two barge hulks beached in our harbor area are still a source of concern to those living adjacent to, or using the harbor facilities.
Respectfully submitted,
ARNOLD B. SHAW,
Harbor Master

REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Dighton:
During the year 1957 your playground commissioners have:
1. Maintained a supervised playground in both the north and south ends of town during the summer months.
2. Had drinking facilities repaired in the north end play- ground and complete installations made in the south end playground.
3. Purchased new equipment for use at playgrounds and repaired and repainted equipment already on hand.
4. Made a study for the future enlargement of recreation- al facilities during the winter and summer months.
It is our wish that the people of the town, especially parents, show a greater interest in this program to allow it to help in preventing any problems of delinquency in the future.

REPORT OF TOWN SHADE TREE COMMITTEE
To the Board of Selectmen of Dighton:
At the regular town meeting in 1957, $500.00 was ap- propriated to purchase shade treees to be planted along the town highways.
Fifty sugar maples were purchased by the Tree Warden and set in different parts of the town by the Warden and his men. At the last check, forty six trees are still alive. Con- sidering the drought of 1957, this is a good record.
We are recommending again this year an appropriation of $500.00 to continue this project. We suggest two kinds of trees to be set this year-sugar maple and pin oak. We recom- mend that all the trees set in 1957 have an application of tree food.
We wish to thank all who have been interested in this Shade Tree Project.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of Dighton:
The Board of Health is pleased to note that with the exception of the short Asian Flu epidemic in October, no other epidemic of serious nature occurred during the year.
The Board extends its thanks to Mrs. Bowden and Dr. Souza for the completion of the Salk Vaccine Program and the Asian Flu Program, also.
During the summer season, this area and many others experienced a severe drouth that caused many wells to go dry-some that had never before been known to go dry.
To relieve the situation, the Board, with the assistance of the Fire Department and the men volunteering their services, made use of the tank truck recently purchased, to deliver water to those in need.
A schedule was set up with stops at various points so
75
ANNUAL REPORT
the firemen could serve a number of people at each stop. This service continued until the wells filled up again with the fall rains.
A detailed report of the Health Department is covered in the report of the Town Nurse, whom we wish to thank for her co-operation in matters of this Department.

The State Department of Public Health considers coliform counts very important to public health, therefore, I have run coliform counts on most samples. I have conducted follow-up investigations on all high bacteria counts.
All establishments selling or handling food in the Town of Dighton have been inspected. I have, in some cases, made suggestions as to different methods of storing and handling food products, and in all cases my recommendations have been carried out.
Nineteen new sewerage disposal systems have been in- spected and approved.
Nuisance complaints which have been investigated by me have for the most part been abated.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
During the year 1957-1958, the Dighton Planning Board examined all plans referred to it. Since none of these plot plans required the approval of the Board, they were so en- dorsed, signed by a majority of the Board and returned to the interested parties.
The Dighton Planning Board is a member of the South- eastern Massachusetts conference of Planning Boards and has agreed to sponsor a booth at Brockton Fair representing the Town of Dighton in company with all other towns of Bristol County.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Dighton:
Public Assistance was granted to all eligible applicants and recipients who qualified for the various catagories of relief in accordance with the State Standards. It is the intent of this department to insure equitable treatment to all appli- cants and recipients, which is accomplished by certain basic requirements that must be met.
Aid to Dependent Children category aided three cases, representing seven persons. The Town appropriation was $4,000.00, with expenditures amounting to $1,976.03, leaving a substantial balance of $2,023.97. In addition to the Town expenditures, the sum of $959.42 was expended from U. S. Grants, making total payments in this account of $2,935.45.
Disability Assistance aided seven cases during the year. The sum of $3,000.00 was appropriated by the Town, and ex- penditures amounted to $1,678.46, leaving a balance of $937.51 which was transferred to other catagories that were overdrawn, and the sum of $384.03 which was transferred to surplus. In addition to Town expenditures, the sum of $2,484 .- 19 was expended from available U. S. Grants, making total expenditures $4,162.65.
Old Age Assistance aided 46 cases, with one transfer from Disability Assistance. The Town appropriation was $28,500.00 with expenditures of $27,498.04, leaving a balance in this account of $1,001.96, which was transferred to surplus. U. S. Grants expenditures were $19,668.60, making a total of $47,165.80 for this catagory of relief. The sum of $519.46, paid to other cities and towns for outside relief, is included in total. The amount of $1,068.05 is entered in accounts receivable, to be reimbursed by other cities and towns, where settlements are involved.

ANNUAL REPORT
amounted to $8,942.32; account overdrawn $2,442.32. Trans- fers were made from the Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance balances to meet the needs in this account. The sum of $5,947.72 is listed in accounts receivable, to be reimbursed by other cities and towns where settlements occurred. For unsettled cases, the sum of $500.00 is due from the State. The amount of $174.24 was paid to other cities and towns for outside relief. The expenses in this category of relief were substantially higher than anticipated, due to medical needs.
Our sincere thanks are again expressed to Mr. Joseph Lindsey and the Taunton Greyhound Association for the generous contribution of $500.00 Christmas Fund.
Assistance and courtesies rendered by the personnel of the State Department of Public Welfare, District Office, and the Bureau of Accounts, is gratefully acknowledged.

REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY NURSE
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen:
The Salk vaccine program sponsored by the State of Massachusetts was completed in June. Clinics were held in January, February, March and June giving everyone an opportunity to complete a series of three doses of the vaccine. After November 1, 1957 free vaccine was available only to pregnant women and infants up to one year of age.
79
ANNUAL REPORT
At the annual Immunization Clinic held in March, April and May for the prevention of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough and Tetanus, one hundred twenty-eight children received injections. Twenty-four children were vaccinated against Small-pox at the Pre-School Clinic.
Asian Flu vaccine was received in late October and clinics were held on October 31st and November 7th for town employees. When the rest of the vaccine was available, two additional clinics were held. Both afternoon and evening clinics were arranged so everyone could take advantage of the opportunity offered. Eighty-four received the full dose-two injections, and five took only one shot.
One patient was readmitted to the Bristol County Sana- torium for further treatment of Tuberculosis. One patient died from this disease.
Mumps were prevalent during January, February and March and several cases of Scarlet Fever were reported during March.
My daily work included bedside nursing, treatments, baby care and injections of various kinds. Transportation was furnished patients to doctors' offices, clinics and hospitals.
I attended monthly meetings of the Health and Welfare Workers' Association held in Taunton, and the Board meetings of the Bristol County Mental Health Association.
In September a seven week course was started at the Lakeville Sanatorium. This was the first half of a thirteen week basic course in Disaster Nursing sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massa- chusetts Civil Defense Agency. I attended the seven lectures and a certificate will be awarded at the completion of the course.
I wish to express my thanks to the members of the Board of Health and Town Officials for their support and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
