REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF FOOD
The Sanitation of Eating and Drinking Establishments To the Honorable Board of Health Gentlemen:
In January we organized and held a food and drink hand- lers' course of instruction which was attended by 152 owners and operators.
In the same month we conducted lectures on applied bac- teriology to the biology class from the Mary E. Wells High School under Mr. Edward Desroches.
During the year we made 264 equipment inspections and performed the necessary tests indicative of the efficiency of washing and sterilizing methods. More time was spent in indi- vidual establishments where conditions required special cor- rective measures.
The results of these inspections and tests were more satis- factory than in former years, and although great improvements were accomplished in the majority of establishments, we still have a few where structural alterations are the prime requisite to the application of proper methods of food and drink handling.
We have used our new inspection and grading forms and our new posters and found them to be most helpful in improv- ing conditions in numerous establishments.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH A. CHAGNON, Inspector.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH NURSE
To the Board of Health
Dear Sirs:
I herewith submit my report as Board of Health Nurse for the year ending December 31, 1950.
Tuberculosis Clinics
Our consultation chest clinics operated according to sched- ule from January 1st to August 1st. Members of the Rutland State Sanatorium medical staff X-rayed and examined two hun- dred and fourteen patients, representing twenty-threee towns and thirteen physicians.
After nearly seventeen years, the clinics were discontinued. This service was organized by the State Department of Public Health, and sponsored by the Board of Health to accommodate patients and assist physicians not only in this town but for ten other small communities in the immediate vicinity. The first clinic opened April 19, 1933, and continued till June 16, 1937, in the Harrington Memorial Hospital. However, the growth of the clinic and transportation of equipment made it impossible to carry on at the hospital, and permanent quarters were then
39
established in the Town Hall in the Board of Health rooms. Dur- ing this period, three thousand seven hundred and eighteen pa- tients were X-rayed and examined, with the Board of Health nurse doing the follow-up on the local cases, and keeping all records on file for the out-of-town patients.
At the present time patients needing chest X-rays, will re- ceive this service at the Worcester County Sanatorium in Boyl- ston, Mass. They operate weekly clinics, Tuesday and Thursday -8:30 to 10:30 A. M.
Diphtheria Immunization Clinics
Our annual Toxoid clinics were held on the following dates-February 17th, March 9th-30th, and April 27th. One hundred and sixteen received three injections, three weeks apart, and one hundred and ninety-two were given Booster dose. Since 1946 when the incidence of diphtheria increased, the State Department of Public Health considered it advisable to further protect all children who had been previously im- munized. Every child from eight months to twelve years of age should be immunized and followed up every three years with a booster dose. To the best of our knoledge, 70% of the children entering the kindergarten have been immunized, and 51% of the first grade pupils.
Dental Clinics
A program for healthy teeth and gums, is dependent upon and results in, better general health. Realizing the importance of dental health we would like to broaden our service to include the eleven to thirteen year age group, and also, to care for and treat the temporary teeth.
In regard to this matter, we interviewed the dental hygien- ist from the State Department of Health, to help us revise our program. After considering our present financial set-up, it seemed impossible to alter our procedure. However, we made one minor change in our regular schedule. This consisted of having the dentist on duty report to the schools to examine the children's teeth, in the first four grades. The results of the screening enables us to admit the children who needed special attention. This method allowed the dentist more time to con- centrate on dental repair work.
Sixty-four clinics were maintained during the year, by the Board of Health. Four hundred and fifty-two children were admitted, and three hundred and twenty-four had their teeth cleaned, and three hundred and six had fillings.
40
Registration Clinics for Pre-School Children
During the week of May 8th, two hundred and seventy-six children registered to enter school in the Fall, either kinder- garten, or first grade. Children four years eight months, for the kindergarten, and five years eight months for the first grade.
Registration consisted of charting the height and weight, personal history, and name and birth date of other pre-school children in the family. All children who reported to the clinic were advised to have a physical examination as soon as pos- sible by their family physician. The results to be recorded on a special blank, and returned to the Board of Health office. Those wishing to return to the clinic, were given an appoint- ment, to be examined by the Public or Parochial school physi- cians, and a dentist from the dental clinic staff.
Nine hundred and eighty-seven parochial school children were examined by the medical inspector, assisted by the nurse. The findings were recorded on the physical record card, com- piled by the State Department of Education and Health. Each defect found is rated according to the required standards, and recorded in the following code: 0-Normal; 1-Observation; 2- Needs Attention; 3-Needs Immediate Attention. A defect re- corded as 2 is always reported to the parents, requesting them to consult their family physician.
Home visits were made whenever necessary, mostly for fol- low-up of physical examination, to advice parents as to pro- cedure for correction of defects and general information.
A vision and hearing test was conducted for the elementary and high school pupils in St. Mary's school. Two hundred and thirteen had their eyes examined, eight of this number wore glasses, and twenty-one failed to make a perfect score.
For the hearing test during the past years, we have used the group phonograph speech type, called 4c-Audiometer. After considerable investigation, the Committee on Conserva- tion of Hearing of the Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolar- yngology recommended the group pure tone test. The pure tone test detects the presence of significant losses, which are not re- vealed by the phonograph speech screening. A combination of the speech and pure tone instruments owned by the School and Health Departments, produced the proper equipment at a minimum cost.
One hundred and sixty children were tested, twenty-nine failed in one ear to make a perfect score, and ten with both ears on the first test. The whole group, with the exception of ne, passed the retest, allowing two errors for each ear.
41
Dr. Robert W. DeJordy, podiatrist, examined all the pupils in the parochial schools. Separate notices of defects were sent to the parents.
Sixty-one parochial school children were supplied with a mid-morning milk lunch donated by the Lion's Club. This ges- ture is highly appreciated by the children and parents.
The sale of Christmas seals made it possible for us to send four boys to the Sterling Health Camp for eight weeks. These candidates were selected from a group who fulfilled the re- quirements, keeping in mind tuberculosis contacts and under nourished children. Each child gained weight, as the result of good health habits, regular hours of rest, play and well pre pared meals. Funds from the same source supplied a nurse to assist at the tuberculosis clinic for seven months.
Two years ago, the State Department of Public Health re vised the quarantine and isolation requirements for communic able diseases. Quarantine was eliminated in some instances and isolation period shortened. There are forty-six reportable dis eases in this state, quarantine is required for only five.
Six cases of Scarlet Fever were reported to the Board o Health office. The nurse visited the homes, placarded and gave instructions as to procedure of care and precautions fo the household.
At this time I wish to thank all organizations and indi viduals who have co-operated and assisted in any way.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGUERITE C. HOULE, R.N.
