ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Board of Public Welfare
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Leicester :
Changes in this department during 1963 stemmed from two main factors: first, an increase in costs which resulted from an increase in the case load of the department; and, secondly, a greater emphasis on the rendering of services to persons assisted, and the community in general.
The case load in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children category increased from fourteen at the advent of the year to seventeen at the end of the year with a total of sixty- one children.
Individuals aided under the Medical Assistance for the Aged increased from thirty-two to forty-two. This is a very costly program due to the fact that application is often made for hospitalization and/or nursing home care and consequently the expenses are high. It should be noted here, however, that the Federal Government reimburses one half of th total medical expenses to the Town and that State reimburses two thirds of the remainder, making the net cost to the Town very much low- er than the gross output on payroll.
Families and individuals aided under General Relief rose to an average of eleven cases as opposed to an average of seven at the onset of the year.
There was no change in the average of persons receiving Old Age Assistance, and this remained at about fifty cases monthly.
7.1
ANNUAL REPORT
Although there was a decrease from fourteen to ten cases during the year in the Disability Assistance category, some of the cases aided were for long hospitalizations and continuing rest home and nursing home care, making the costs greater.
The average total case load rose from one hundred seventeen cases to one hundred and thirty cases by the end of 1963.
The cost of maintaining the case load increased as a result of a rise in the cost of living, which was reflected in larger cash payments; increased medical costs and the use of these facilities by recipients; and, finally, an increase in the transportation al- lowance for Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance re- cipients.
A great deal of emphasis was put on rendering services to recipients and acquainting them with the services that were avail- able to them in this Town and in Worcester. To this end, this agency was represented at a series of "In Service" training ses- sions held by the State Department of Public Welfare during the early months of the year.
Reimbursement in administration was increased on the basis of a greater amount being given to the services rendered by the department as opposed to the investigatory work that is done. We anticipate that further changes during 1964 will tend to again increase this reimbursement to the Town.
One of the most important changes in Welfare law was enacted by State Legislature during 1963 to become effective January 1, 1964. This new law deletes the use of legal settle- ment, formerly used to determine the municipality responsible for the financial support of an indigent person. Place of residence will be the factor in the future in determining responsibility. At this time we cannot predict what change, if any, this will make in the financial burden to the Town, but we feel that whether costs incerase or decrease the ultimate change will not be great
72
ANNUAL REPORT
The department made plans to move their office facilities, since the quarters in the Town Hall were deemed inadequate. Plans were made to move to office space over th Butlr Insurance Agency, at 3 Warren Avenue, Leicester. The actual cost to the Town for the new quarters will be slight because of the reim- bursement from Feedral and State grants. Previously no claim for telephone, housing, etc., could be made since these facilities were shared by the Board of Selectmen. Now, it is expected that the claim for reimbursement for the cost of rent, light, janitor service, telephone, etc., will be on the basis of one hundred per cent. The exact percentage of the total which will actually be returned to the Town is based on the work units produced by the staff. It is anticipated that the staff will be better able to pro- duce the work so important to the Town under these improved condiions.
Our thanks for the cooperation given to us by other De- partments, Boards and individuals during 1963 seems inade- quate as we feel justly indebted to many.
Sincerely submitted,
(Mrs.) STELLA E. CRESWELL
Director of Public Welfare

Report of the Veterans' Service Department
January, 1964
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Leicester,
Leicester, Mass.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1963 our Veterans' Service Department was very gratified to be able to provide assistance to the many veterans of the town.
We noticed a considerable increase in the number of veterans seeking assistance on admissions to Veterans Administration Hos- pitals, and assistance with hospital and medical problems which they had during this period. We were very pleased to see a large increase in numbers of veterans who contacted our office for as- sistance with their problems, and we appreciated the opportunity, and priviledge of serving the veterans of Leicester.
We hope that in the coming year the veterans of the town will avail themselves of the services provided through the Veter- ans' Service Department, and call on us whenever they feel that we may be of assistance to them.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mr.) L. F. McNAMARA
Veterans' Service Agent Town of Leicester.

Report of the Veterans Graves Registration Office
9 December 1963
Office of the Board of Selectmen
Town of Leicester
Leicester, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
The following is a report of the Veterans Graves Registra- tion Officer for the year 1963.
Appropriation for 1963: $350.00
All veterans graves in all the cemeteries in the Town were checked and whatever necessary work was needed to bring them up to good condition for Memorial Day was done prior to Memorial Day. Each grave had a bronze marker and a flag from Memorial Day till after Labor Day. Periodic checks were made to replace missing, torn or faded flags during the summer months. Twenty-one stones were received from the Government and were placed on the graves that these stones were intended for during the past year. Two stones were recut and placed on Graves of French-Indian War Veterans graves in our older cemeteries. There were four new internments up till December 1, 1963 and in our search for information about French-Indian War Veterans buried in our Town it was found that three additional names were added and one deleted from our lists. A thorough search has been made to insure that no veteran of any war buried within our town is not honored. All names on all the lists have been checked and in most cases verification of service has been done.
ANNUAL REPORT
The records have been brought up to date and also the maps. This work is not completed but will be in the near future. There are at present applications for two stones for the last two intern- ments. It is planned to submit seven applications for stones for veterans graves of the Revolution and Indian War period who's graves are not too clearly marked. This is to be done in 1964.
Elliott Hill Burial Ground was kept in good repair and the grass was kept cut through the summer months. This cemetery is now in good shape and it is hoped that it will stay this way.
The budget is increased this year by $93.00. This is neces- sary due to the fact that we need more bronze markers than an- ticipated in the past and also the endless job of marking the graves of veterans of the early wars who's graves are not too clearly defined is still being carried on.
There is now a complete file on each veteran buried OF honored in our cemeteries in Town. If we have missed any per- son it is requested that the Veterans Graves Officer be contacted and the necessary steps will be taken to add his name to our lists ..
I wish to thank each and every person who has helped me in any way to make this job of compiling records and informa- tion as complete as it is. I also wish to thank all those who have extended their cooperation and assistance in any way that has made my job a little easier and more complete.
Respectfully submitted,

Gentlemen:
The below is a report of the Director of the Memorial Squares :
Appropriation for 1963: $1020.00
The Memorial Squares were maintained throughout the summer months, cleaned up for the spring after last winter's wear and cleaned this fall. Permanent rpeairs were made this year as follows: New apron for the monument on Sugrue Square, removal of the wooden fence which was replaced by granite curb, removal of the flag pole and repair to lawn area on St. Martin Square. Under a separate article, a survey of the area for the relocation of McCarthy Square and the purchase of land for the square was done.

It is hoped that the plans as outlined for 1964 will be completed as follows: Relocate McCarthy Square, Renovate Davis Square and Hot Top dirt areas at Grady and Dwinell Squares, (both of which are drainage problems and highway responsibilities) .
I wish to thank the Keenan Landscaping Company for a
