A hearing test was conducted in the Ste. Jean d'Arc school with the 4C Audiometer for all pupils beginning with the third grade. The 4C Audiometer test is a detection process, it screens out those whose hearing is open to suspicion, by accurately record- ing the amount of hearing lost. Since the success of the test depends a great deal on the silence of the immediate environ- ment, it is necessary to do this work in a separate room. One hundred and ninety were tested in groups of twenty. Twenty- two failed to record numbers below a certain level.
Eight girls, six contacts to tuberculosis, and two under- weight spent eight weeks at the Sterling Health Camp this sum- mer. A daily routine, well planned, kept them busy physically and mentally. They all gained weight and thoroughly enjoyed their vacation. The camp is maintained by the sale of Christmas seals, and funds from the same source are also used to supply the services of a nurse to assist at the consultation clinics.
Communicable diseases reported to the Board of Health, were placarded according to local requirements. Visits were made to each case and instructions given to prevent the spread of the disease.
Funds donated by the Lions' Club provided forty children with a mid-morning milk lunch. The parents of these children appreciate this gesture and wish to express their sincere thanks.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH FOOT EXAMINATION
To the Honorable Board of Health and
The Parochial School Physician :
Herewith I submit my report on the foot examination of the Parochial school children for the year ending December 31, 1948.
A total of eleven hundred and ninety children were ex- amined in the three parochial schools. Of this number, eighty- three had conditions of sufficient severity to warrant notifying the parents that prompt medical attention was needed. Sixty- four others had minor defects and were instructed in proper hygiene and prophylaxis.
The benefits derived from these examinations are evidenced by the lessened severity and deceasing number of foot conditions noted.
Following is a tabulation of the more serious defects noted :
Weak feet
18 Tyloma 3
Flat feet
8 Strained feet 1
Pronation (weak ankles)
6 Knock knees 2
Hallux Valgus (bunions) 2 Heel conditions
1
Fungous infections (ring-

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
To the Honorable Board of Health,
Gentlemen :
During the year we collected 476 samples of milk and cream from 78 Dairy farms, 15 milk dealers and 5 milk plants situated in the towns of Brimfield, the Brookfields, Charlton, Dudley, North Grosvenordale, Southbridge, Sturbridge, and the Wood- stocks, who supply dairy products sold in our town at whole- sale or retail. These numbers do not include the producers whose milk is sold locally by out of town dealers.
With the above mentioned 476 samples, we conducted the following tests and analyses :
TESTS FOR BUTTER FAT-498 Samples. 43 samples were below the state standard of 3.35%.
TESTS FOR SOLIDS (ADULTERATION)-712 Samples. 262 were below the state standard of 12.00%.
PHOSPHATASE TEST (PASTEURIZATION) -- 36 Sample. 4 samples were insufficiently pasteurized.
KEEPING QUALITY TESTS (COLOR REDUCTION)-None made.
BACTERIA COUNT-Microscopic-351 Samples. 121 samples had a high count and were below standard.
BACTERIA COUNT-Standard Plate-None made.
MASTITIS TEST (Microscopic). (Smear of cultures)-Cul- tured milk from 53 animals, 14 of which were positive and were disposed of by the owners.

REPORT OF FOOD INSPECTOR
To the Honorable Board of Health,
Gentlemen :
We have 65 establishments dispensing food and drink to be consumed on the premises, exclusive of markets, fruit stands, etc. These places have 94 separate sanitary set-ups requiring different arrangements, inspections and tests of various kinds.
During the year we conducted utensil swabbing tests from which bacteria counts were made on glasses, cups, spoons and forks, to determine the efficiency of dishwashing and sterilizing methods.
From a total of 67 such tests, we arrive at the following re- sults:
GOOD. (Below 100 colonies per utensil)-17 establishments or approximately 25.4%.
FAIR. (Between 101-500 colonies per utensil)-15 establish- ments or approximately 22.4%.
UNSATISFACTORY. (501-Not Countable)-35 establishments or approximately 52.2%.
TOTAL TESTS-67.
53
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
This shows only about 25% of these establishments meet the requirements of washing and sanitizing food and drink dispens- ing utensils, while 751/2 of them vary from FAIR to VERY UN- SATISFACTORY.
Food storage, refrigeration, cabinets, counters, serving and steam-tables, cooking and dispensing utensils, hot and cold water supplies, hand-washing and toilet facilities for employees, per- sonal hygiene, etc., are all items which were not surveyed due to lack of time which had to be devoted to work of equal im- portance but of a more frequently occurring nature.
Health educational and training courses for operators and personnel is of paramount importance in this work.
Respectfully submitted
JOSEPH A. CHAGNON, Food Inspector.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
Report of the Honor Roll Committee
January 14,1949
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Southbridge, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
We hereby submit our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1948.
The balance of our appropriation for maintaining the Honor Roll is $9.49. The sum of $340.51 was spent in keeping the second World War Honor Roll clean and the listing of names for publication.
The listing of names of Southbridge people who served in World War II was done by an unemployed veteran of this war hired to do this work.
We also request at this time an inspection of the Honor Roll by our building inspector whom we believe qualified to issue a statement as to the condition and safety of the Honor Roll which was built for the duration of the war.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to all town depart- ments and especially the Veteran's Service Department, co- partners to our final objective, "The completed list of SOUTH- BRIDGE people who served in World War II."

TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE
Report of the Swimming Pool Supervisor
January 31, 1949
Mr. Arthur Leduc, Chairman Recreation Committee
Southbridge, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Leduc :
At your request, I am submitting the annual report of the swimming pool supervisor for 1948.
ATTENDANCE :
From July 2 to September 7, a total of 15,235 recorded persons availed themselves of the pool's facilities ; 7,242 July, 6,720 August, 1373 September. Average daily attendance- 234. This impressive and significant figure emphasizes the importance and definite necessity of our swimming pool. RESCUES :
The all-important factor of competent supervision was demonstrated many times during the swimming season. Thir- teen children suffering from cramps, exhaustion and other physical or psychological factors such as fear and panic were helped to shore by the lifeguards. These situations coupled with situations in which order has to be maintanied, and there are many such situations, fully justify the presence of respon- sible and competent lifegaurds at all times.
WATER EXHIBITIONS:
July 7, Miss Carlstrom, Red Cross instructress, skillfully demonstrated various standardized methods employed in life- saving.
July 8, the summer playground's annual "Water Day" was held at the pool. Most of the contestants on that day were those children who had accounted for the bulk of our attend-
63
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
ance throughout the season. This again is highly substanti- ative of the defined utility of our pool.
RED CROSS AWARDS :
Red Cross badges and certificates were awarded to 25 beginners, 2 junior and 4 senior lifesavers. All had passed Red Cross tests in their respective areas. These tests were ad- ministered by Miss Fitzgerald who has been a certified Red Cross examiner for many years and who has been instrumental in developing so many new swimmers during the last five years.
HEALTH CARE:
In order to maintain positive control over the bacterial growth and thus provide safe water for bathers, the upper reservoir with a capacity of 6,500,000 gallons was utilized ac- cording to the bathing load; while systematic chlorination provided a second safeguard. These two checks, scientifically manipulated, are potent enough to dispel any existing fear of pollution.
In concluding my report, I would like to take this opportu- nity to thank you and your committee for the fine cooperation we received from you throughout the official season. It was indeed a pleasure to work with men who manifest so much interest, sincerity and altruism in civic welfare.
Respectfully submitted,
