Report of the Town Nurse

The diphtheria prevention clinic was held in the Spring and was very well attended. One case of diphtheria was reported, undoubtedly causing a larger attendance. It should be stated that the person who was ill, had never had pro- tective treatments. Number of children attending Clinic was 124. Schick tests given to determine immunity-83, of that number 42 were pre-school pupils-37 in school and 4 were teachers.
The number of Toxoid injections-160. The procedure has been to give three doses at weekly intervals.
At the Middlesex County Hospital at Waltham, 16 people were X-rayed and given physical examinations at physicians request. This service is free to all members of our commu- nity, its purpose being the detection and control of tuber- culosis by early treatment. Every year our town participates in the sale of Christmas Seals, the proceeds are used for tuber- culosis prevention programs. Mr. Thomas Byron of the Center is our local secretary and treasurer. A portion of the funds collected are used for projects in our community .. Last year a girl was sent to our Health Camp for a period of 8 weeks. It is also helpful in making our school milk program possible for all children.
-82-
The common cold with its more severe complications is still the greatest cause of school absences. It seems unwise to send a child to school during the infectious stages, for it is often the forerunner of a contagious disease.
In time of national emergency, it becomes even more important than ever that we avail ourselves of the public health services of our Community and attempt to improve the personal health of ourselves and families.
Respectfully submitted,
GENEVIEVE J. CREELEY, R. N.
Report of the Board of Health
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Board of Health of Acton herewith submits the fol- lowing report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1941.
We regret to report that there was a run of communi- cable diseases during the year. Measles, while not especial- ly serious, reached large proportions and a total of 215 per- sons were treated.
At the very start of the year we experienced the possi- bility of a scarlet fever epidemic and immediately took steps to prevent it and keep it under control. A total of twelve cases was reported.
The diphtheria clinic was carried on again this year and over 150 persons took advantage of it.
Applications were received for permission to operate overnight cabins. Therefore it becomes necessary to have published and issued rules and regulations, conforming with state regulations and suitable for this town's requirements.
The maintanance of the town dump for the exclusive use
-83-
of the citizens of the Town of Acton has been our big problem. Persons from some of the surrounding towns were using the dump regularly and in many cases with no regard as to where the refuse was left. (Even some of our own citizens have been that careless.)
In order to keep the expense of maintenance of the dump down and to accommodate the town's people wishing to use it, the Board deemed it necessary to have it open only on certain days, and under supervision. At first it was open Wednesdays and Saturdays but this proved inadequate to accommodate all the citizens desiring to use it and, there- fore, we arranged to have it open on Mondays also. Thus far that plan seems to be working out very well.
At the first outbreak of rabies in this state for almost a year, the selectmen issued orders that all dogs be restrained for a period of ninety days. In this connection the Board established a clinic for the innoculation of all dogs against this dreaded disease. The way the dog owners co-operated and responded to this opportunity was very pleasing to the Board.
With the expense of maintaining the town dump and other unpredictable health expenses of the town we recom- mend the appropriation of $1200.00, the same as last year.

Forest Warden's Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Your Forest Warden submits the report for the year end- ing December 31, 1941.
Total number of fires responded to 141
Cut of town calls 5
Total Labor cost of extinguishing $1,302.05
Total Property loss in dollars and cents $1,030.00
The Forest fire truck and equipment is in good condition considering the age of the truck, which is now almost 12 years old.
This year a Forest Fire Patrol must be put on during the fire season which will be approximately six to eight weeks. This patrol is required by State Law, and will consist of four men, eight hours a day, seven days a week. Each man is sup- posed to cover one hundred miles per day. The compensation will be at the rate of regular town employees and a mileage fee for using their automobile. This patrol is to stop all parkers and to keep automobiles moving on back roads, to extinguish small fires, to report all fires and to keep a record of all sus- picious automobiles.
Respectfully submitted,
H. S. MacGREGOR,
Forest Warden.

Fire Department
January 28, 1942
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I hereby submit my report for the Fire Department for the year 1941. The total number of alarms responded to by the entire department are as follows:
Building
15
Automobile
2
Chimney
13
False
2
Out of Town
1
Fires as a result of oil heaters
2
Total labor cost of extinguishing
$501.20
Total Property loss
$8,912.00
The ladder truck at South Acton should be replaced this year as it has now become unsafe to operate on the highway, it is really in a serious condition.
With the fear of a possible air raid I feel that the firemen that do not have coats, helmets and boots should be equipped with them.
The alarm system is now complete and is certainly going to be a big advantage in air raid alarms. I think that as soon as possible Fire alarm boxes should be installed through the cen- tral part of the town.
We now have, or will in the near future, a good supply of hose, and it should be adequate except perhaps for some grave emergency.
Respectfully submitted,
H. S. MacGREGOR,
Chief of the Fire Department.

Welfare Department Report
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The annual report of the Board of Public Welfare is hereby submitted.
Practically all assistance rendered in 1941 under Tempor- ary Aid or General Relief was given to persons who for various reasons were unemployable. As this was anticipated at the beginning of the year, a substantial reduction was made in the appropriation for this type of relief. Also, a small balance was left at the close of the year. This condition will probably continue to exist throughout the year 1942. However, there is a possibility that aid to Employables may show an increase be- cause of private industry being compelled to curtail in number of employees due to production limitations ordered by the gov- ernment. This condition has already been the cause for appli- cation for assistance.
In the report submitted by this board last year, we referred to pending legislation pertaining to relief. On October 30, 1941, an Act making a number of changes in the Old Age Assistance law was passed, the majority of which go into effect April 30, 1942. These changes not only liberalized minimum amounts to be paid, but also liberalized or removed altogther certain re- strictions as to eligibility to receive this assistance. It will be necessary to increase assistance in a large number of cases be- cause of the above changes and also will probably result in an increase in case load. Unless assistance is granted as provided in the law, no reimbursement will be made by the State Depart- ment. Because of the above changes, it will be necessary to increase the appropriation for Old Age Assistance.
Although we do not anticipate any changes in Aid to De-
-93-
pendent Children, we feel a slight reduction can be made in the appropriation as there was a balance at the close of the year.
We submit statistical reports for the year 1941.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL E. BACKMAN, MARY M. LAFFIN, RAYMOND L. HATCH, Board of Public Welfare.

FEDERAL SURPLUS COMMODITIES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Although the expense to the Town of Acton for partici- pating in Federal Surplus Commodities for the year 1942 again increased slightly, it was felt that the benefits received by per- sons participating in the Town of Acton, warrant this expense. Therefore, this bill was submitted to your board for payment. During the year, 1941, the value of commodities distributed in Acton was as follows: Direct distribution of Food, $3,171.34; Clothing, $1,007.65. Combined value of both food and clothing for the year 1941 being $4,178.99.
The amount contributed by the Town of Acton is the pro- portionate share of administrative expenses of the Surplus Commodities Division, consisting of Equipment Rental, Freight and Transportation, Necessary Supplies, Printing, Salaries for Supervision, and Miscellaneous Expenses.
Although the uncertainty of conditions in the coming year is referred to in the report of the Surplus Commodities Division, this reference is only as it may relate to the in- creased cost of material and supplies, etc., no reference is made to curtailment. We, therefore, assume this service will be available for the coming year.
CARL E. BACKMAN, Chairman, Board of Public Welfare.
