REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of Southbridge:
Last year I sprayed the town Elm trees with parathion and DDT, trying to check the Dutch Elm disease, cut and burned five trees with Dutch Elm disease, have twelve more trees that the state men have found to have Dutch Elm disease and should be cut and burned in 1950 but more money will be needed for this work.
I did some trimming of trees on various streets in town, cabled and braced some that were weak in some places. I am asking Finance Committee for extra money to purchase twenty- five young trees to plant on various streets in town.
Respectfully submitted, WILBUR WILSON, Tree Warden.

GYPSY MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Last year we found and exterminated 8,632 gypsy moth egg clusters, this included the spring and fall extermination. In- spection was restricted only to trees under town jurisdiction because of the limited amount of funds. I find the moth situa- tion somewhat better since we have sprayed the trees.
Respectfully submitted,
WILBUR WILSON, Gypsy Moth Supt.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of Southbridge:
The Board of Health met on March 17, and organized as follows: Dr. Raymond F. Haling, chairman; Ernest Tetreault, clerk, and Dr. Robert W. DeJordy, third member. We held twelve (12) regular meetings and fifteen (15) special meetings.
On August 1st, Mr. Ernest Tetreault submitted his resigna- tion as member of the Board of Health to take effect September 1st when his appointment as Board of Health Agent and Sani- tary Inspector was to become effective.
The Board of Selectmen appointed Mr. Henry Demers as a member of the Board to replace Mr. Ernest Tetreault, effec- tive September 1st.
The Board reorganized at their September meeting with Dr. Raymond F. Haling, chairman; Dr. Robert W. DeJordy, clerk, Henry Demers, third member.
For many years, the State Department of Health has been urging your local Board to reorganize and reapportion the work of the department in order to render more efficient service in its various branches. This was accomplished in the follow- ing manner. The position of agent was taken away from the Board of Health Nurse in order to leave her free to devote her time to nursing, which is of utmost importance. She has charge of the general nursing care in the three (3) Parochial Schools and is in attendance at the tuberculosis, dental, pre-school and immunization clinics. In addition, she is responsible for home contact work in communicable diseases.
The positions of Sanitary Inspector and Slaughtering In- spector were taken away from Mr. Joseph Chagnon, in order that he might devote his time to improving the service in his remaining work; viz: plumbing inspector, milk inspector and food inspector. It is felt that these three phases of the work of the Board require the full time attention of this man.
The appointment of Slaughtering Inspector was made at our September meeting and the application of Mr. Alcide Fournier was favorably acted upon. Mr. Fournier satisfactorily completed a course of instruction with the Federal Meat In- spectors and his appointment was approved by the State De- partment of Health.
Under this reorganization program, the Board of Health has been able to observe the application of broader and more .exacting Public Health work in our community.
31
The reports of the various members of our organization will bear out the results of such reorganization.
It is hoped that the townspeople will continue to cooperate with the Board and its members and further our efforts to give you an effective and efficient Health Department.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND F. HALING, M. D. ROBERT W. DeJORDY, D.S.C., HENRY E. DEMERS.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH NURSE
To the Honorable Board of Health
Dear Sirs:
I herewith submit my report as Board of Health Nurse for the year ending December 31, 1949.
Tuberculosis Consultation Clinics
During the past year, the tuberculosis consultation clinics have been conducted as usual by the staff of the Rutland State Sanatorium.
Since the value of chest X-ray is recognized, the facilities of this service have been used more and more by various groups and industries to check contacts. Thirty-eight men in a local industry were X-rayed after contact with a fellow-employee, as a precautionary measure. Another group consisted of thirty- two children, eight teachers, and a janitor.
A total of three hundred and fifty were X-rayed and ex- amined in this clinic. The largest number since its organization, nearly sixteen years ago.
Twenty-two doctors, representing nineteen towns, received this service.
Diphtheria Immunization Clinics
Diphtheria is best prevented by immunization of all chil- dren, early in life-from six months to six years is the ideal time.
In the past three years there has been an increase in the number of cases reported in the State. To further protect chil- dren immunized three or more years ago, a booster dose of toxoid is recommended.
33
Four toxoid clinics were held during the Spring, ninety- eight children received the regular immunization doses of tox- oid, and seventy-six children, the booster dose.
Dental Clinics
Following our regular schedule, all school children in the first four grades in the public and parochial schools are eligible to attend the clinics. Each child with a permit from his parents, is admitted and given the necessary treatment, insofar as our program will allow.
Nevertheless, we feel that we have contributed consider- ably in the prevention and correction of dental defects and the importance of oral hygiene.
Five hundred and sixty-two children had their teeth cleaned; there were one hundred and nine fillings, and fifteen extractions.
Pre-School Clinics
Registration and physical examinations were conducted by the School Health Department and the Board of Health.
So many more children were registered, due to the opening of a public kindergarten, that it was necessary to have five clinics instead of the regular two as in previous years.
The medical history of each one admitted to the clinic was recorded, as well as the height and weight, and any behavior problems that might handicap the young child during his first year at school. A total of three hundred and thirty-nine registered.
The following week, the above group reported for a physi- cal examination to their own physician or to the school physi- cians and dentist serving in the dental clinic.
The physical fitness of each child is the first aim of the clinics, in order to make it possible for the children to enter school free from remedial defects.
Five boys were admitted to the Sterling Health Camp, but one was unable to adjust himself and was dismissed after a week. The remaining four spent the entire eight weeks.
Selection of children was made on the following basis: Con- tacts to tuberculosis; positive tuberculin tests; suspicious X-ray findings or definite malnutrition.
34
Considerable improvement was noted in each child, due to the well-planned and supervised program during this period.
The annual sale of Christmas Seals maintains the Camp and pays the services of a nurse to assist at the monthly clinic. This is a part of a nation-wide program for the prevention of tuberculosis.
Eight hundred and eighty-eight pupils in the elementary grades of the parochial schools were examined by the school physician, assisted by the nurse. Defects noted were recorded and reported to parents.
The children in Ste. Jeanne d'Arc school, with the excep- tion of the pre-primary group had an eye test with the Massa- chusetts Vision Test Kit. This test provides an improved meth- od for detecting children with suspected visual handicap. From those screened by the test, the eye specialist can deter- mine which cases should receive treatment.
The test is based on tried and familiar technique used by the eye specialists. The administrator only determines which child passes, and which child fails-referral cases become the responsibility of the family eye specialist.
Two hundred and fifty-seven were examined-of which nineteen failed to register a perfect score. This number in- cludes children under treatment and some with congenital eye conditions.
Dr. Robert W. DeJordy, podiatrist, examined the feet of the pupils in the three parochial schools. Separate notices of defects were sent home to their parents.
The communicable diseases reported to the Board of Health were placarded according to local requirements. A home visit was made in each case and instructions given to pre- vent the spread of disease.
Generous funds donated by the Lions' Club has provided milk for a considerable number of parochial school children. It is a worthy cause-well appreciated by all concerned.
At this time, I wish to thank all organizations and individu- als who have co-operated and assisted in any way.
Respectfully submitted, MARGUERITE C. HOULE, R.N.
