BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Public Welfare:
I herewith submit my report on Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Disability Assistance and Public Welfare for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1956.
During the year 45 applications have been processed and disposed of as follows:
32 Approved
8 Denied
5 Withdrawn
During the year 42 cases have been closed for the following reasons:
3 Transferred to other towns and cities
12 Transferred to other categories
2 Transferred to State or County Hospitals
8 Employed
6 Ineligible
7 Deaths
1 Burial only
1 Hospitalization only
2 Medical only
There have been several changes due to new legislation and State Department directives.
Payments to public assistance recipients were increased in accordance with State Department policy effective 7/1/56. This requirement was brought about by an increase in the cost of living index as reported by the Division on the Neces- saries of Life. Basic budgets were increased 5.8%.
79
The rising cost of medical care in the public welfare field is reflected chiefly in higher hospital rates. Chronic hospital rates at Tewksbury State Hospital and Infirmary have in- creased from $24.87 to $28.67 per week. Other hospital rates are certified annually by the Commission on Administration and Finance in accordance with the law and all rates show a substantial increase for 1957.
One of the 1956 amendments to the Social Security Act provided for an increase in the Federal participation on assist- ance payments and effective 10/1/56 the town has received increased reimbursements.
On 8/9/56 an act was passed extending the benefits of Old Age Assistance law to non-citizens who have been residents of the United States for a period of twenty years. This act was effective 11/7/56 and as a result seven cases were trans- ferred from Disability Assistance to Old Age Assistance and one case from General Relief to Old Age Assistance.
An act transferring to the district courts jurisdiction to en- force the liability of certain kindred for the support of poor persons eliminates the necessity of taking such cases to the probate court.
Recoveries for the year have totalled $4,222.64. Liens on real estate of Old Age Assistance recipients have been satisfied and recovery on a Disability Assistance case was received.
Due to the new provisions of the Old Age Assistance law which now includes non-citizens a greater case load is antici- pated. On 12/31/55 there were 33 cases and on 12/31/56, 35 cases. Of the new cases added there were five persons on whose real estate a lien was taken. Two liens were satisfied in full and cases closed.
Cases receiving Aid to Dependent Children have changed little there being 5 cases on 12/31/55 and 4 cases on 12/31/56.
80
The average number of children aided during the year was 13. In three cases, non-supporting fathers have been brought before the court.
There has been a sharp drop in the number of Disability Assistance cases due to the transfer of 7 cases to the Old Age Assistance program. On 12/31/55 there were 13 cases and on 12/31/56 only 4 cases. There is one case pending.
On 12 31/55 there were 5 active General Relief cases and on 12 31/56 there were 3, however, during the year there were several cases opened for temporary assistance. The total cost of General Relief was greater than in 1955 due mainly to cases aided in other towns and cities holding a Carver settle- ment.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board Members for their close cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
VIOLA S. GRIFFITH,
Agent.

A special form will be furnished for this purpose upon written request from the parent.
CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
It is the policy of the School Committee to close school only under the severest weather conditions or on such occasions when it is dangerous to operate school buses. At other times, parents are expected to use their own judgment in sending children to school. When a decision to close schools has been made, this information will be broadcast through the courtesy of radio stations WBZ, WNBH and WBET. The no-school
84
signal will also be given on the local fire warning apparatus. This signal is two short blasts sounded three times.
From records of the School Committee, January 14, 1957:
Voted: That the report of the Superintendent of Schools and other officers of the school system be hereby adopted as the report of the School Committee for 1956.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Members of the School Committee:
Herewith follows the annual report of the Superintendent of Schools. As it serves as part of the complete report of the School Committee, it is written not only from the point of view of an individual but, also, includes the various policies and general decisions which originate from the School Com- mittee. Your attention is invited to the reports from others in the school department as each part helps to contribute in- formation on the local school system.
In general, the enrollment in the local schools has shown only a slight growth since that of last year, about 10 pupils, and a similar growth is found in the numbers of pupils attend- ing secondary schools outside of the town. A large first grade class was enrolled in September. After some consideration as to the best way in which to meet the problem the committee approved the employment of an additional teacher if one could be found. This is not the easiest matter in these times with scarcity of good teachers and some little search was necessary before a candidate could be found to accept the position. Two first grade groups were formed at mid-September and will be continued through the school year. The groups established are small in number and will enable the first grade children to get an excellent start in their school program.
The committee has approved and extended the policy of employing a school secretary and the position now has come to the point where twenty hours per week are provided for the principal and the work relating to his office and manage- ment of the school. This is a very desirable policy and enables the principal of the school to place his time where it will count for most in the work of the school.
92
The school committee, along with other boards in the town, joined in placing a proposal before the town meeting for the employment of a public health nurse, a part of whose time would be devoted to schools and a part to other responsibilities in community nursing. This change enables a nurse to be found on duty every morning at the school and should make for very easy communication between parents and school on matters relating to the health of the child. The frequency of the service in itself recommends its continuance and Mrs. Korpinen has been very cooperative in her new position.
Where necessary the school committee has approved a policy of instruction and/or necessary individual transport- ation for a home-bound child or one suffering from a physical handicap of any sort which either makes school attendance impossible or impractical for a full day. We do not always have such individual cases but this year there have been two such and the committee has provided the necessary approval for individual planning for their educational needs.
We are fortunate to have less change in staff to report for this year than the previous year. The last report touched up- on Mr. McCarthy's joining the staff and the circumstances under which he came. Mrs. Clare D. Neal of Monument Beach was obtained to take the new first grade created for this fall. Mrs. Neal is a graduate of the Teachers College at Hyannis and holds the Masters Degree in Education from the Bridgewater Teachers College. Mrs. Eunice Hulbert, who formerly taught Sewing on a part-time basis for the girls in 7th and 8th grade, was unable to continue her work with us due to ill health in the family and her place has been taken by Mrs. Margaret Longhi of Plymouth who teaches in the Eve- ning Practical Arts division. Mrs. Doris F. Moore resigned her position in Carver at the end of the school year in June to take up a teaching position in the neighboring town of Ware- ham. Although Mrs. Moore had agreed to take up the Special Class teaching work for Carver she later wished to be relieved
93
of this on the strength of a financially more attractive offer from the neighboring town of Wareham with the hope of a still better salary in the future. Mrs. Moore has served Carver well for nine and one-half years in the public schools and it is to be regretted that she felt it necessary to leave for another position but it is inevitable that these things will happen to any town.
A classroom devoted to the needs of the Special Education class has been opened this year with Mrs. Winifred Nickerson the teacher in charge, she being transferred from the first grade work in the regular school program. The class has an enrollment of 11 pupils in it and it has become a valuable added feature to the school program. The maintenance of such a class is beneficial to the school pupils as a whole in two ways. First, the child in need of the individualized in- struction is placed in the class where the number permits this. His progress is entirely an individual matter. Second, the children who are in the regular grade classrooms can have the complete time of the instructor there as the time is not being taken by those who need individual instruction. The state assists in the cost of the operation of a class of this sort so that the financial responsibilities on a community are not excessive for this type of work.
Evening Practical Arts Classes have been continued this year with the combined Clothing I and II being offered again and with two new classes set for the first time this year; one in Hooked Rugs and the other in Cake Decoration. This latter class is a short term one, has already had one group com- plete its work and the second class is forming for the new year. A third class will more than likely be possible if there are enough interested to warrant its operation.
The committee has continued its policy of a certain amount of the maintenance work to be done each year. This last year bids were sought for painting a section of the second floor

rooms which included the library, the offices, the nurse's suite and classroom No. 23, together with the doors at the top and bottom of the two stair wells. Two bids were submitted on this; one by James Wilmot and Son, Middleboro, for $638.00 and one by Harold Boyer and Son of Plymouth for $535.00 and the award was made to Mr. Boyer. We have been well pleased with the results and hope to do another section of the building this next year. A school plant as large as this one will be cared for more easily if a section is done on a regular rotating schedule each year rather than leaving work to accumulate to a large degree.
The playground equipment which had been purchased the previous year has been set up this last year and the added facilities provide more recreational opportunities for the children during noon, recess and after school hours.
Transportation services for school pupils still remains a large item in the operation of the school system and a con- tinuing effort is made to keep the service as efficient and safe as possible. Some time was spent last year in connection with the New Haven Railroad's North Plympton grade crossing to eliminate fault in the signal system there so that we might be assured as much as possible of the safe passage of the buses over the crossing which transport the high school pupils to Silver Lake. The late bus service was continued from Silver Lake School and some slight change was made in the routing so that the late bus might also serve pupils in the local school who stayed for athletic contests, music and other special pur- poses after the regular school hours and still be transported home. Late in the year 1956 Mr. Thomas exchanged one of his buses for a new 60 passenger bus.
The school committee in cooperation with similar commit- tees in the other two towns of this union assisted in meeting the financial obligations of a conference for teachers which was held in late September of last year at the Rochester
