It is the unanimous opinion of the Public Health Com- mittee that the program is improving from the sense of its use- fulness to the Town Departments and the People of Carver and that in 1959 it was more than worth the extra $24.37 spent.

REPORT OF VETERANS' AGENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Carver, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith for your consideration and approval the report of the Veterans' Services Department for 1959.
With the increase in living costs, hospital and medical services, and general expenses, the work load of this office is constantly increasing.
As the veterans of all our wars grow older some will require more help in their declining years.
Any money spent by this department to aid veterans and their dependents in need is reimbursed by the state to the Town of Carver in the following manner. State settled cases 100% reimbursement, town settled cases 50%. This means that any veteran or their dependents receiving aid from this department costs the town less money than they would under the Welfare Program as the state reimburses the town in welfare cases only 331/3%.
With the passage by Congress of Public Law 86-211 which allows veterans, widows and orphans of World War II and the Korean Conflict to become eligible for pensions for a non service connected disability which until this time was reserved for veterans of World War I only, there will be a lot of time spent in advising each one of their rights.
-124-
I started a new service to the veterans and their de- pendents of Carver on January 26, 1960 by holding office hours at the Carver Town Hall on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. so that anyone unable to get to our office during working hours may contact me with their problems at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. WHEELER, Agent
