REPORT OF FOOD INSPECTOR
To the Honorable Board of Health.
Gentlemen:
Early this year, with the cooperation of the Sanitary Inspector of the Southern Worcester County Health District, we carried on a survey of all the eating and drinking establishments within this town.
These inspections covered the location of the establishment and its equipment, the construction, maintenance and storage of all the utensils, dishes, pots and pans, foods and their refrigeration, the screening of outside doors and windows, toilet facilities for employees and patrons, the number of employees working in these places and the number of customers served daily.
We visited 58 such places, where 242 persons were employed to serve more than 13,000 customers each day. During the course of the year, we also took bacterial samples in a representative number of establishments on dishes, glasses, cups and spoons. These samples, when plated and incubated showed a plate count ranging from 7 or 8 colonies per surface per utensil to well over a million, emphasizing the crying need of improvement in the sanitation of these utensils.
The customary inspections of bakeries, groceries, markets, etc., was carried onas usual, visiting the following places of business:

To the Honorable Board of Health.
Dear Sirs:
I hereby submit my report as Board of Health Nurse for the year ending December 31, 1944.
TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC
During the past year, twelve consultation clinics were held ac- cording to schedule, the third Wednesday of each month from 1 to 3 P.M. The personnel' consisted of a lung specialist, and an x-ray technician from Rutland. Since the value of chest x-ray is recog- nized, the facilities of this service is used more and more by various groups as part of their physical examination. The Massa- chusetts Hairdressers' Association recently issued a request that all hairdressers have a complete physical examination with chest x-ray. Several young women reported to the clinic for this serv- ice. Two hundred and fifteen patients were x-rayed, representing thirty-five physicians, and fifteen towns.
DIPHTHERIA IMMUNIZATION CLINIC
Diphtheria is best prevented by immunization of all children early in life, from six months to six years is the ideal time. Since the last case of diphtheria was reported seven years ago, we feel that our clinics and educational program have contributed considerably to achieve this record. One hundred and forty were immunized, thirty of this number were in the preschool group.
DENTAL CLINIC
Following our regular program, all school children in the first four grades in the public and private schools are eligible to attend the clinics. Each child with a permit from his parent is admitted and is given the necessary treatment, in so far as our program will allow. A great deal is accomplished both in repair work and in an educational way. Children attending regularly dur- ing their first four years in school would benefit by this service. It would help them form the habit of oral cleanliness.
Number of children who reported to clinic 563
Number of extractions 19
Number of cleanings 481
Number of fillings 181
Number of children who received certificates. 181
PRESCHOOL CLINIC
Following the State Department Public Health recommendations, the Board of Health in cooperation with the school department held four clinics in June, to give each child an opportunity to have a physical examination. The purpose of these clinics is to have ev- ery child enter school in good health, with all defects corrected. The findings were tabulated on their health card for future refer- ence during their school days. One hundred and fifty-one children attended the clinics.
Ten hundred and thirty-one children in the elementary grades of the parochial schools were examined by the school physician as-
-32-
sisted by the nurse. These routine physical examinations take place each year, as soon as possible, after schools open in the Fall. The purpose is to note the general health, to detect symptoms of con- tagious disease, and, on the whole, to check the growth and well- being of the child since the last examination. Good appearance and an increase in height and weight usually finds a child physically normal. Parents are advised of defects found and urged to follow recommendations .
With the cooperation of the State Department of Public Health the pupils in St. Mary's School were given an eye-test with the Massachusetts Vision Test Kit. This test provides an improved method for detecting children with suspected visual handicap. From those screened by the test, the eye specialist can determine which cases should receive treatment. Two hundred and thirty-three were examined; thirty-seven failed to pass.
Measles was the predominating communicable disease among school and preschool children this year. As each case was reported, the susceptible contacts were excluded from school for two weeks. In- structions were given to make every effort to separate the contacts from the patients, thus reducing the risk of complications. For- tunately, most cases were mild.
Six girls were sent to the Sterling Health Camp for a period of eight weeks. Selection of children was made on the basis of ex- posure to tuberculosis, and certain other requirements. During the summer, they follow a carefully planned schedule, getting the proper amount of rest, recreation, also a well-balanced diet. Each child gained weight. This camp, maintained by the annual sale of Christ- mas seals, is part of a nationwide program for the prevention of tuberculosis.
At this time, I wish to thank the members of the Nurses' Aide Corps for services rendered in the clinics, also any other organi- zation or individual who assited in any way.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
No requests fromany state or federal authorities were received this year as to the number of cattle, hogs, sheep or goats quartered within the town limits.
The scarcity and high cost of animal fodder and the lack of agricultural workers is compelling more and more small farmers to sell out their livestock, mostly for slaughtering for meat. The larger dairy farmers are slowly but continuously increasing their herds to meet the constand demand for fluid milk, a demand which has remained at the prewar level not withstanding the large number of boys and girls who have joined the armed services.
The market price for dairy cattle continues at a high level ranging anywhere from $225.00 and more, according to breed and production capacities.
The annual tuberculin tests of dairy cattle by the state authorities revealed no reactors in this vicinity, which can be re- garded as a blessing in disguise, as no barns or stables had to be disinfected. All animals appear to be in good health, and their quarters are kept reasonably clean, considering the lack of workers.
The following is a summary of the various duties performed during the year:
Barns and stables inspected. 56
Heads of cattle imported from other states and
checked as to T.B. ear tag numbers and Bang's disease certificates. 39
Heads of cattle quarantined for Mastitis and Bang's disease. 37
Dog bites investigated and animals quarantined for 14 days 17
Total number of animals inspected. 584
Barns and stables disinfected. 0 Number of heads shipped to Wassermann Laboratory. 2
We wish to take this opportunity to thank your Honorable Board as well as all other people concerned for their prompt cooperation that helped to lighten our duties.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH A. CHAGNON
Inspector of Animals

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Honorable Board of Health.
Gentlemen:
The demand for more fluid milk and cream continues unabated despite the number of boys and girls who have joined the armed services. a matter of fact, a number of the larger producers have more than doubled their output within the last two years, off- setting those who have dropped out of the business during this time.
The dairy farmers within our jurisdiction have imported 78 heads of dairy cattle from other states during the year, in addi- tion to purchasing a larger number within Massachusetts. The num- ber of milk dealers licensed in this town has dwindled down to 28 compared to 31 last year, and the number of producers down to 93 from 98 in 1943.
The dairy feed situation is none too good, and the price of good dairy cattle continues steadily in the higher brackets, rang- ing from $225.00 to $300.00 per head. A considerable number of dairy cattle has been sold for beef due to the failure of the local hay crops and the resultant increased demand and higher price of this fodder.
We have not conducted as many tests as usual on milk and cream due to the pressure of other important additional duties, and most of these tests have been performed early in the year until late last summer. Nothing very serious was revealed in the various analyses, and in general, our milk supply is consistently of a good quality.
We have performed the following tests and analyses from samples taken at the milk plants, at the dairy farms at milking time, and from the vehicles of the dealers:
Butter-Fats Tests, (Composite Samples) 142
Butter-Fats Tests, (Individual Cows) 74
Solids and Acidity Tests 246
Phosphatase Tests, (Pasteurization) 23
Analyses for Mastitis, (Composite Samples) 117

332
Number of Samples of Goat Milk Tested. 2
Number of Cows disposed of for Mastitis 63
Number of Cows disposed of for Bang's Disease 7 Visits to Dairy Farms and Milk Plants 49
-37-
Approximately 10,000 quarts of milk and 200 quarts of 18% cream are sold daily in this town, more than 80% of which is pasteurized. The scarcity of butter has caused a sharp increase in the number of licenses issued for oleomargarine, the total number of licenses for milk and its products being:
Pasteurizing Plants 4
Ice Cream Plants 2
Milk and Cream, Stores, Hotels, Restaurants
Milk and Cream, Dealers, (Vehicles) 28
Oleomargarine
29
Farm labor continues scarce and expensive, and dairy equip- ment and supplies are not too easily or promptly obtainable. The dairy farmers are performing an uncomplaining and patriotic duty on the home front by supplying a most essential and necessary food to the consuming public, a job that, in too many instances, is caus- ing many of them heavy pecuniary losses.

JOSEPH A. CHAGNON
Inspector of Milk

Under Aid to Dependent Children this department assisted thirty- eight dependent children, who were eligible for this assistance. Under this program the town received participation from the Federal Government and the State Department.
In 1944, as in the past years, the Child Welfare Service, under the supervision of Mrs. Edith Cushing has given services to children, whose individual difficulties or home conditions needed special at- tention.
During the year 1944, three females and fourteen males were cared for at the local Infirmary, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Beauregard.

Due to the changes in the law, establishing uniform mandatory budgets and requiring less contributions from liable children, the total amount of the monthly payroll has increased considerably.
Effective September 1, 1944, the parents cannot accept from the liable children a lesser amount of contribution to prevent prosecution. The applicants and liable children are always notified of this ruling.
The responsibility of the local board with respect to the in- dividual payment lies entirely within the area of determining the extent of the need and in providing funds in accordance with the standards of assistance to enable the recipient to be self-support- ing. The local board has given its full cooperation in carrying out the recommendations of the State Department.
