tion. For those who are sports-minded but who are unable to participate, a spectators' bus is provided. These additional activ- ities of the Athletic Association have gone a long way toward in- creasing the spirit of the school.
The Washington trip taken by the graduating class each Spring, has become a tradition in the school. It is the goal of every entering class to accumulate sufficient funds during the four years of high school to cover the expenses of the trip. Such a major venture is impossible without a great number of money making activities. The whole hearted support of these activities by the towns' people is a lasting example of their sincere belief in the youth of Ashby and the part they will play in a living Democracy.
In closing, I wish to thank you, the School Committee, the Faculty, and the Parents for the splendid cooperation I have re- ceived during 1948.
Respectfully submitted,
LESTER R. ALDRICH, Principal.

THE CLASS POEM
Now our High School days are over, But the memory will abide. It will live with us forever, Though we travel far and wide.
As we journey ever onward, God will guide us on our way Through our new and strange endeavors In life's hard and bitter fray.
Though our path has rocks of danger We will try to see it through. We will strive to make our progress Good, in everything we do.
We will follow our class motto In the future life we lead: That our way lead not to failure, We'll determine to succeed.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners
The Cemetery Commissioners are responsible for the ad- ministration of affairs effecting the Town's Cemeteries and for maintaining the permanent records of lot ownership. Three cemeteries are maintained: (1) First Parrish, (2) West and (3) Glenwood.
In the West Cemetery there are approximately 15 lots yet for sale and in the Glenwood Cemetery about 25. No lots are available in the First Parrish Cemetery. The forty lots available should take care of the town needs for several years.
As cemetery lots are sold (priced at $10 to $40 depending upon size and location), the Town Treasurer deposits the amount received in a savings bank account known as the "Cemetery Lots Fund". The deposits and the interest thereon are left to accumulate to provide funds for either the purchase of additional land or for permanent improvements. Expenditures from this fund can be made only by Town Meeting action.
When an individual purchases a lot, he may (except on the large lots in which case he must) make arrangements for per- petual care. To do this he pays the Town Treasurer an amount ranging from $50 to $150 (depending upon size of lot). Each payment is deposited in a separate individual savings bank ac- count known as the "Perpetual Care Trust Fund of
The interest received from each account is used to provide the care for the lot of that particular individual. Interest is with- drawn by the Treasurer at the request of the Commissioners. All interest is not necessarily withdrawn each year. This year we grouped a portion of the interest from several accounts for the purchase of a new power lawn mower, which would of course be used on all lots.
Since the income of the Perpetual Care Trust Funds is used only on the care of lots, it is necessary for the Town to provide funds for the care of driveways, walkways, fences, and lots not yet sold. In addition, the town, by law, is required to care for
48
neglected lots of soldiers. To cover these expenses, a Town ap- propriation known as "General Care" is needed.
In the past, the Town has raised and appropriated funds "to bury the dead". This was to pay the expense of digging the graves. Years ago this was, no doubt, considered as a respectable gesture to the family of the deceased; however, in recent years, the fee for the services provided by an undertaker includes the expense of digging the grave. The town's action in paying for burial does not decrease the cost to the deceased's family. It is therefore recommended that the Town discontinue the practice of raising and appropriating funds for this purpose.

Report of Library Trustees
The library is making a steady gain toward being a more vital factor in the life of the town.
Mrs Thatcher, the librarian, is working with the teachers of the Lyman School in bringing a wide range of books within the reach of each pupil. By having regular weekly story hours at the library, each child in the first six grades is becoming per- sonally acquainted with the library. As a follow up, books are sent to each room after the story hour is over and are kept there until the next time they visit the library. Children who live in outlying districts and cannot readily avail themselves of library privileges, borrow books in this way through the school.
The large showcases in the rear of the library are being used from time to time by different school groups to exhibit work which they have done. .
This work with the school children has resulted in a definite increase in the circulation of juvenile books and shows a trend toward better selection of books within their reading comprehen- sion.
A record has been kept of juvenile and adult circulation during 1948 to enable the librarian to determine the percentage of outgoing books in each category. The children's circulation was 4007 as compared with the adult circulation of 4211.
These figures prove to us that there is a definite need for building up new literature and replacing old type and outdated reference books in order to keep up with the demand in this department. Ways and means are being considered by which the library may do this. During the past year, 250 books were borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries in Boston to sup- plement our inadequate supply of juveniles. In addition 20 books were borrowed through the Division and the Inter-Library Loan for a church group reading project carried on by the Con- gregational Church Women.
51
In the adult department every effort is made to secure the best in fiction and non-fiction. A new 1949 Hammond Atlas has been ordered to replace our present 1900 Rand McNally Atlas. Supplemental maps and data will be sent to keep the Atlas up to date as the information becomes available.
The following figures should prove interesting:

8218
New Books Bought

535
Books Borrowed from Boston

250
The only improvement made in the library this year has been the addition of new book stacks which should supply our needs for some time to come.
The furnace pipes were cleaned in the fall and this elim- inated much of the smoke nuisance and the immediate necessity of buying a new furnace this year. Some minor repairs are needed on the pipes and on one of the furnaces in the near future.

Report of Nashoba Health Unit
Board of Health Ashby, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Nashoba Associated Boards of Health, Agents for the Board of Health of Ashby, herewith transmit the annual report covering the activities of the year 1948.
Well Child Conferences were held every month. Dr. Charles T. Porter gave the children a thorough physical examination and referred those needing treatment to the family physician. Start- ing in October, children were also immunized at these clinics. Your community nurse, Mrs. Alice Seymour, did a fine job in conducting these conferences.
Triple vaccine, a protection whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria, was offered to all children between the ages of four months and two years. It was limited to this age group because whooping cough is not as serious a threat to life once the second birthday is passed. Dr. Stanton Hardy of Lederle Laboratories donated triple vaccine to the Nashoba Health Unit in appreciation of cancer research done by the medi- cal director at the Harvard Medical School last year. It will be available this year as well.
One of the visible services of the Unit is of an environmental nature. The milk and sanitary inspector has not only imme- diately investigated all reported nuisances, but has also inspected milk, food and water supplies for your safety and health.
Three visits to milk plants were made and twenty-seven milk samples were collected and tested for bacterial count and butter fat content at the Unit's Laboratory. Four milk licenses were issued. Three camps were inspected and licensed during the summer. The school was also inspected for environmental sanitation. Seventeen private water supplies were examined and the water tested.
54
Three persons from Ashby were X-rayed at the tuberculosis clinic held at the Nashoba Health Center every other month.
The director of nursing has discussed various problem cases with your community nurse and demonstrated the use of the vision testing machine at a Parent-Teacher's meeting.
The following cases of communicable diseases were reported for the year:
Whooping Cough 3
1
Mumps Scarlet Fever
1
All members of the staff have also devoted some of their time in promoting the growth of Nashoba . . . telling people how co-operation pays dividends in good health, and in en- couraging some of the adjoining towns to join the Unit. For more efficient and economic health services, a larger population should be served by the Unit staff.
Respectfully submitted,
SIDNEY COBB, M. D.
Director.

Highway Report
To the Selectmen and Voters of the Town:
I submit the following report as road superintendent for 1948.
On the State Department books Jan. 1, 1948 the road mileage of this town was bituminous surface 28.87, dirt road 28.95. About 6.5 miles of this total is completed Chap. 90 road.
During the year we gained .4 miles of Chap. 90 and .9 miles of Chap. . 81 road of bituminous surface. We cut back the corner at the intersection of Turnpike and Greenville roads to help eliminate that driving hazard. We widened and oiled Bernhardt road near Trap Falls to make it possible to keep it in shape for Winter driving. On both of these jobs the trucking was mostly privately taken care of.
We improved drainage problems on Turnpike and Locke roads by putting in stone side drains, at the same time utilizing stone picked up on stony sections of road and at the intersection of Mason and Locke roads which we levelled off.
It is necessary to surface treat most of our black roads at least once in three years. At present costs this runs to about $600 per mile. Last year we treated some 11.3 miles.
Under highways and bridges we rebuilt the bridge over Locke brook on Mason Road and sealed it with hot asphalt. We also cleaned the dirt from all the planked bridges.
A petition has been presented to the State Highway Dept. applying for the rebuilding of the Greenville road under Fed- eral Aid to Secondary roads.
Next year should clean up the Chap. 90 construction on the Rindge Rd. and if the town wants to go on building Chap. 90 roads some discussion of which road is next in line might be a good plan.
59
The following comments may be helpful in understanding the various highway activities and financial accounts.
Three classes of roads exist in town:
a) State Highways-Route 119.
The town has no responsibility insofar as the State high- ways are concerned. Construction, maintenance, and snow re- moval are all handled by the State.
b) Chap. 90 Highways-Specific "project" roads approved by the state and county. In selecting these projects considera- tion is given to the importance of a road in handling traffic be- tween towns. Our Chap. 90 roads are Greenville Rd. (com- plete), New Ipswich Rd. (2 years work yet) and Rindge Rd. (one year of work yet).
c) Chap. 81 Highways-All roads that do not fall in the above two classifications.
Chapter 90 construction is handled on a share basis - town one-fifth, county two-fifths, and state two-fifths. Since these roads are for handling relatively heavy traffic, construction must be good and the county and state demand that it conforms to their specifications. To do so it is usually necessary to rip up the old road to lay a deeper foundation and to provide adequate drain- age.
Chapter 90 maintainance covers the maintainance of roads constructed as Chap. 90 projects. This expense is borne in shares -town one-third, county one-third, and state one-third.
Chapter 81 work is basically maintainance work on Chapter 81 Highways. It is handled by town and state funds (no county funds) and is calculated on a per mile allowance. Based on our 58 miles of road, the 1948 funds were made up as follows:
Town-58 miles x $50/mile = $2,900 State-58 miles x $225/mile = 13,050
Total
$15,950

Under the Chapter 81 program, existing oiled roads are re- surfaced as necessary, gravel roads are regraveled and graded as needed, weeds and brush are kept out back, and culverts and ditches are kept open. In addition and assuming that some funds are available for more than the required maintainance work outlined above, it is the intention to extend the oiled surface roads a little each year. -
In addition to the Chap. 81 funds, the town has for several years been raising and appropriating an additional $1500 in the "Special Road Oil" account. These funds were originally in- tended to allow for the oiling of hills where trouble had been experienced with gravel washing out. The bad hills have been pretty well taken care of, however, it is recommended that the $1500 per year be continued to allow greater extensions in the oiling of gravel roads (not necessarily hills) than would be possi- ble with just Chap. 81 funds. A new title, Chap. 81 supplement" is suggested for this account, as it is more indicative of the nature of the work.
The Highways and Bridges Account covers general main- tenance of bridges and the highway approaches to them.
The Machine Expense Account covers the repair and main- tenance of town owned road machinery.
The Machinery Rental Account is one set up to receive the "rent" charged for the use of town owned equipment on Chap. 81 and Chap. 90 work. By setting aside these charges, deprecia- tion on the equipment is recognized and provided for. The in- come in this account builds up a reserve fund that can be made available for the purchase of new road machinery. Such action is accomplished by voting at a town meeting to transfer funds from the Machinery Rental Account to the Machinery Purchase Account, from which such expenditures can be made.
