REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
I hereby submit my report for the part of the year dur- ing which I served as school nurse.
From February 1st to September 15th I was on a leave of abesnce from my duties in Pepperell for the purpose of taking additional courses in public health and school nursing at Simmons College in Boston.
For this reason the report covers only the period from September 15th to December 31st, 1944.
The annual physical examination of every school child was given by Dr. Winograd and slips were sent home in cases where defects were found. There was excellent co-op- eration by the parents in returning these slips and having corrections made where necessary.
An effort has been made to get the personal histories up to date on the physical record cards kept in school. This is important to have for future reference.
Plans are being made for an X-Ray examination of the chests of the younger and senior high school pupils.
A monthly pre-school Well Child Conference has been held at the Town Club Rooms for which we feel indebted to the Town Club. This is a free service which all parents may take advantage of by communicating with the Pepperell District Nursing Association.
Conferences have been held from time to time with the Nashoba Health Unit, Massachusetts State Department of Public Health and Department of Crippled Children.
Respectfully submitted,

OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
This information is inserted with the thought that it may be useful to those interested - and not familiar with the revised procedure of preparing Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children payrolls.
In May of 1944 a change was made effective whereby the inserting of bills, on the first half of the month be elim- inated. All bills of a supplementary nature, must be insert- ed on the last half of the month payroll.
Due to this change, and in order to get prompt reim- bursement - where cash is paid by recipient; bills of a supplementary nature - should be submitted to the Bureau of Old Age Assistance by the recipient, not later than seven days prior to the last day of the month, in order to get them on the payroll of that month.
It is mandatory that all bills be made out in the name of the recipient - and not in the name of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance. Direct contact where supplementary assistance is concerned, must be with the recipient, and not with the Bureau of Old Age Assistance.
The following pages will show appropriations, pay- ments, and reimbursements as they occurred during the year of 1944.

The summary outlined above show the levels in which the Federal Government, State and Town share. The Fed- eral Government share is equal to one-half of the authorized and approved amounts of the assistance rendered; based on a total monthly allotment, not exceeding $40.00. The bal- ance over forty dollars is shared in by State and Town, on the basis of 2/3 for State and 1/3 for Town. Under sum-
72
mary of Federal, State, Town and monthly average pay- ments, the share of December is estimated, based on the case load and percentages returnable, of Federal revenue to Town.
Supplementary Assistance, 1944
The outline below includes the supplementary assist- ancy rendered during the years of 1944 and 1943. Items such as medical service, hospitalization, drugs, convalescent care, indirect payments, which includes burial and other items of expenses (permissible by law), that are incurred prior to death of a recipient of Old Age Assistance, and for which payments are made direct to doctors, vendors, or undertaker. The amount allowed, is one-hundred dollars, providing no resources are available to take care of indebt- ness incurred. The supplementary type of assistance is only applied when needed-and when verified.

The above outline is a revised procedure adopted by the State Department for Cities and Towns to report relief rolls, Reporting Assistance payments, and Claiming Assistance Pay- ments Reimbursement from Federal and State Funds for Aid to Dependent Children. It is expected that the adoption of the re- vised procedure will enable the cities and towns to determine in advance the amount of Federal and State reimbursements for which the State Department will render an accounting. The The State Department in its accounting will provide the cities and towns with detailed statements of all differences between the amounts claimed and the amounts reimbursed.

The Board of Assessors lowered the tax rate from $33.60 to $32.00 for the year 1944 against the wishes of Henry F. Long, Commissioner of Taxation. At this time it appears that we were perfectly right in doing this as this rate of $32.00 has supplied all revenue necessary.
The Board has been meeting every Tuesday evening for the purpose of meeting any taxpayers who cared to come before them with any problems. It is our intentions to continue this practice throughout the coming year.
A form of list has been mailed to personal property owners of the town and it would be a great help to the Assessors as well as a protection to the taxpayer if these were completed and returned to the Board.
We have made some progress in the better tabulation of real estate of the town, as in past years many pieces of property have been lost as to location. It will take many years to complete a system of this nature but will be a great help in years to come.
