dren by the sale of Christmas seals. All three boys made considerable progress during their vacation, one gained four and a half, one five and another seven pounds.
The Parochial school medical inspectors examined twelve hundred and ninety-one children, assisted by the nurse. On the list of defects found, enlarged or diseased tonsils, and carious teeth came first. However, much has been done to correct these defects, in the various clinics. Home visits to many cases found parents co- operative, but unable to assume responsibility for cor- rections.
In September while the public school children were having their hearing tested, by a 4A-Audiometer, Mr. Austin the superintendent, kindly offered to include any parochial school child who had a marked hearing defect. Twenty-eight were tested, and seven were recommended to visit their family physician, for treatment. The parochial school authorities wish to express their appre- ciation for this service. The 4A-Audiometer test is a detection process, it screens out those whose hearing is open to suspicion, by accurately recording the amount of hearing loss. It provides a much needed standard, and in view of the fact that teachers often find children retard- ed in their work on account of some hearing defect, I would like to recommend the purchase of a 4A-Audio- meter, by the Town to be used by all school children.
Beginning November 12th pasteurized milk has been supplied daily to sixty-six needy parochial school children, from a fund raised by the Democratic Club, Inc. One thousand and eighty-two bottles have been served.
According to local requirements, communicable diseases reported to the Board of Health were quaran- tined and placarded. Following the State Department of Health recommendations, the four weeks Scarlet Fever
86
quarantine, was reduced to three weeks, except in cases of serious complications. Nearly all cases reported were mild, and patients seemed to make a complete recovery within the quarantine period.
At this time I wish to thank all organizations, and individuals who have co-operated and assisted in any way.

REPORT of the SEALER of WEIGHTS and MEASURES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
I herein enclose the report of the Department of Weights and Measures for the year 1935.
The year 1935 is outstanding in the history of South- bridge for enforcement of laws that this department supervises.
The merchants of Southbridge have had the great- est protection from the hawkers and peddlers.
With the excellent co-operation from the Police Department Southbridge had 23 convictions on this type of violator.
This is the largest number of convictions outside of our largest cities.
In addition 65 other peddlers were stopped and made to show their credentials.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMITTEE
The Cemetery permanent fund from which the major part of our income is derived is invested exclusively in Massachusetts Savings Banks and the savings department of National Banks.
The reduced interest rates paid by these banks has af- fected the income of our department to the extent that it has been possible to do only routine work during the year. On account of this decrease no attempt has been made to make any permanent improvements.
The perpetual care lots were carefully checked four times during the year. All sunken graves graded and many memorials re-set and straightened.
At present there are four hundred and twenty-five lots under perpetual care. This is an increase of over one hundred per cent in the last ten years. The interest from the permanent fund netted $2,260.21 plus the town appro- priation of $1,600.00 makes a total income of $3,860.21. Of this amount $3,361.16 was paid out for labor and sala- ries to residents of the town. For materials and supplies $487.63 was spent. From these figures it can be seen that our department paid $1,761.16 more for labor and sal- aries than was appropriated.
We received for opening graves $309.00 and for in- stalling foundations for monuments $95.81 making a total of $404.81. This money is placed in a special account by the Town Treasurer our department deriving no benefit
94
from it. The labor in doing this work and the purchase of materials used comes out of our income. Deducting this amount from our appropriation makes a net cost of this department to the town of $1,195.19.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE H. HARTWELL, WARDWELL M. EDWARDS, DANIEL T. MORRILL,
Cemetery Commission

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Southbridge :
A total number of 396 families representing 1,589 persons and 66 single residents were aided on Temporary Aid at various times during the year 1935. Of this num- ber 56 families, cases representing 311 persons and 5 single residents, were aided as State cases; 25 family cases, representing 93 persons, were aided as settled in other cities and towns; 9 cases were aided in public in- stitutions out of town. There were 151 hospital cases of which 133 were treated at the Harrington Memorial hos- pital. There were 4 burials. Seventeen cases, represent- ing 44 persons, were aided out of town having a South- bridge settlement.
During the year 1935 the Board of Public Welfare aided 60 families over the total of 1934. This increase in families added to the rise in price of food and other ne- cessities are the two main factors to which we attribute the rise in expenditures under Temporary Aid.
Seventeen cases representing 61 persons were aided under the Mothers' Aid Law, supervised by the State Department of Public Welfare.
Under the Old Age Assistance Law 53 persons were aided during the year. Three cases were closed by rea- son of proper support from other sources and three cases were closed by death.
96
The total number of 30 males were cared for at the local infirmary during the year 1935. Of these four cases were closed by employment and two cases were closed by death.
We wish to take this opportunity of thanking every- one who, by giving employment or by any other way, helped to reduce the expenditures of this department.
