County Health Dept. Report
Barnstable, Mass.
December 28, 1954
Board of Health Harwich, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Routine work of the County Health Department personnel was carried out in the usual manner during the year 1954.
There were no outbreaks of preventable communicable diseases reported during the year and immunization work was carried out in the schools by giving booster doses against diphtheria and tetanus to the first and fourth grades.
Examinations of sewage disposal facilities and private water supplies were carried out as requested by property owners. This included the examination of water samples in the laboratory.
There were 34 food handling establishments licensed in the town during the year, and inspections were carried out on these routinely. Bacterial counts on multi-use utensils showed that 77% of these were below accepted standards.
During the year we have set up a Mental Hygiene Program in this county to deal with problems of children under the age of 19 years, who are referred to us for service. A full time psychiatric social worker has been employed and child guid- ance clinics are now being held every two weeks at the Cape Cod Hospital. A child psychiatrist and clinical psychologist are employed for these clinics on a part time basis.

Report of the Shellfish Constable
The shellfish situation this year has been more favorable to the home consumer than to the commercial fishermen. The residents of our town have had the good fortune to have an abundance of clams this Fall from Allen Harbor, with another open area to follow at Wychmere Harbor.
Areas planted this year were Round Cove and the east side of Allen Harbor. Allen Harbor was planted with 180 bushels of chowder quahaugs and 100 bushels of oysters. Round Cove was planted with 80 bushels of oysters for this years use and 140 bushels of oysters for next years use. Also, I planted five concentrated areas of adult soft shell clams in the Round Cove area. This shows results of a better than average set of clams, but no heavy concentrated spots of set.
The scallop crop in Pleasant Bay was practically nil, and will probably be the same next year. There is nothing that can be done in promoting a crop of scallops. We just have to sit back and wait for a set.
Next year you can expect all the shellfish that you will probably want for your own use, but the commercial fisher- men will have to concentrate on quahaugs in Pleasant Bay and oysters in Herring River. A living can be made at either place, but it is exceptionally hard work and takes money to buy the equipment needed. This year we should start to propagate for the commercial fishermen.
Again I wish to extend my thanks for your cooperation along the shores, and to those who have not tried their hand at shellfishing, try it. It is a lot of fun.

It is a great deal of pleasure to report gains this past year in book circulation, both adult and juvenile. During the summer month adults seemed to find less time for read- ing, but the children continued to visit the library often- particularly vacationing youngsters of all ages. The child- ren's librarian has taken books regularly to the Elementary School, while classes from Brooks Academy have met weekly with the librarian to study library proceedures and to take out books.
Book Week was high-lighted by an assembly at Brooks Academy when the librarian played a special record entitled, "How A Book Is Made" and gave brief reviews of some of the new books for Junior High reading. Classes from the Elementary School made their annual visits to inspect new books and enjoy stories by the children's librarian.
We are indeed grateful for the fine books and magazines which have been given by some of our patrons. Several books have even been sent by friends in other sections of New England.
We hope that more people will avail themselves of the many facilities offered by our library-including an ever increasing collection of excellent recordings which may be borrowed or enjoyed right at the library.

The curtain has rung down on 1954 and its astronomical fire losses. The stage is set for a new year. A nation's fire service wonders what's ahead for it. We see the fire service perfecting its strategy and technique of fire prevention and suppression. We see it training and preparing for those extra tasks it will be called upon to perform. We see it building better public good will for itself and the community it serves. We contemplate a fire service that shows increasing accept- ance of improved methods and materials. We see speed of attack increased by further addition of such things as res- piratory protective equipment, broader use of water fog, fog foam, wetting agents, and improved chemical extinguishing agents; by more scientific use of small lines, water carriers and substituting mechanical for manual operations. All these things can only be accomplished by your continuing support of the fire service.
102
This past year has shown a marked decrease in alarms and I sincerely believe it is because of our diligent program of inspections.
In this coming year I have arranged for informative schooling which is necessary in order to have a complete knowledge and understanding of the ever changing mechani- cal and electronic devices now used in heating units. In view of this expanding program and the extensive department business which in the past I have been called upon to perform with my own car, a request has been placed in the Town Warrant for a department vehicle.
The article to purchase additional land at the fire station is to provide more needed parking area and a small drill area where the men of the department can drill without removing the equipment from the immediate area of the fire station and also remove the hazards of drilling on the public high- ways. The present owner is most co-operative in allowing us to tresspass on his property while parking or drilling but as he is willing to sell this land and a future owner might not be so "neighborly" I feel the Town should purchase it at this time.
The purchase of 500 feet of 21/2 inch hose will allow us to replace some unserviceable hose and also complete one spare load for one of the pumpers. This is most important as at the present time we are forced, from the lack of hose, to run each pumper short of hose after a fire until the hose we used at the fire can be dried out and replaced aboard the trucks.
I wish to thank all the men and dispatchers of the depart- ment for their cooperation and donation of time during the last year; to the members and Chiefs of other towns and to the citizens of Harwich for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES A. HALL

Report of the Director of Civil Defense
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Harwich, Massachusetts:
Annual report of the Department of Civil Defense of the Town of Harwich, year ending December 31, 1954.
Another year has come and gone in our lives and Civil Defense in your town was called upon four times to prove itself. Two planned problems and two that were more like the real thing, maybe. Each time the men and women who help guard your community came through with honors.
On January 28, 1954 we had a night emergency alert where all the equipment for two hours was used. Enter-town help was shown, out-of-town help from Chatham and Dennis came in. Medical Center was set up at the Exchange Hall and the Police and Fire Departments had fire and police problems. Civilian War Aid under Mrs. Olive Williams set up a reception center at the Recreation Building. Alert ended at 10:00 P.M.
June 14, 1954 another State Drill at 9:30 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. All equipment responded, plus our new Civil Defense Radio network under Bert Adams with the help of William Williams. The two portable radios kept accurate data coming in and out, all over town and into Hyannis.
Then on August 31, 1954, the wind storm "Carol" came and our people responded like the men and women they are. For three days and nights they guarded your homes with the help of the Air Police from Wellfleet. Evacuation Center was set up at the Primary School, Fire Department pumped out homes, relayed messages to anxious parents, Police and Aux- iliary Police guarded harbors and homes from would be looters. Harold Peterson, the assistant director, had to carry on the last two days of the storm as I was called back to active duty.
Again, September 11, 1954, when "Edna" came we were just getting over "Carol". Civil Defense radio network was
104
again used under Communication Director Adams, Chief Hall with his Fire Department and Chief Nickerson with the Police and Auxiliary Police carried on as usual. Mrs. Olive Williams, Civilian War Aid, again set up food centers. The Red Cross came in and helped, they also paid for all the food, etc. used by the Civilian War Aid.
The town departments under Chief Hall and Conrad Nickerson hold drills each month. Police have pistol practice and arms training and the Fire Department regular fire drills.
The Town is now Federal First Aid Center for the Lower Cape under Captain Thayer's Rescue Squad. The new ambul- ance arrived and all the equipment (rescue and radio). Your Civil Defense Department arranged so that the Federal Gov- ernment helps by paying one half the cost of it.
The Observation Tower has been manned by the Sea Scouts under Roger Munsey. Two of the boys got merit badges from the Air Force. At the same time we had shown the "H- Bomb" film to impress us the horrors of the new war.
As your director, I attended all State and County meet- ings as required by the State and County Directors.
At this time I wish to thank the Selectmen, my faithful assistant Harold Peterson, who has moved to California, Chief Hall, Chief Nickerson, Sea Scouts, and all who have helped Harwich in 1954.
I hope that in 1955 all will cooperate again with the director.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD B. COREY

Report of the School Building Needs Committee
The School Building Committee submits its annual report for the year 1954.
The new addition to the Elementary School was near its completion as of December 31, 1954. It is fully equipped for teaching with only a few items such as stage curtains and lighting, draperies for the all purpose room yet to be decided upon. The Committee has the Sound System under advise- ment.
The contract for sewage disposal and Site Improvement was let to Mr. Fred Crowell of Harwich Port at $14,283.00. Since the finish grading was begun in the late Autumn it was thought wise to postpone the seeding until Spring.
The new addition has been completely covered by Liability, Fire and Builders Risk Insurance to the full value since the beginning of construction. There is a 10 year bond with the Brisk Water Proofing Company against leakage on the side- walls and a 20 year bond with Johns Manville Company against leakage on the roof.
Mr. Lawrence Woodbury as clerk of the works has proved invaluable to the Committee by his constant vigilance on the job. He has made weekly progress reports to the Architect and Building Committee.
As work has progressed, the Committee has been in con- stant touch with the Superintendent of Schools, the Principal of the Elementary School, the School Committee and the architectural firm of Adden, Parker, Clinch and Crimp, 177 State Street, Boston, Mass. Mr. Arthur Brown, the firm's representative has made almost weekly supervisory visits to the School.
The new addition will be ready for occupation during the first of the new year 1955, when it will be officially accepted and turned over to the School Committee.
The Committee feels that the new addition is structurally sound, well planned for the teaching of the elementary school children and that both children and teachers will enjoy using its beautiful class rooms and all purpose room.

Report of the Regional School Committee
We, the committee, are in unanimous agreement that regionalization is the ideal solution for education at the High School level. After discussions with the superintendent of schools, the high school principal, and the advisor on regional schools in Boston we feel that it would give better preparation for both college and non-college students. Also it would offer better education at less cost to the taxpayer.
This committee met with the Orleans Regional School Committee and learned that they were not interested in regionalizing with Harwich at the present time. Two meetings were held with Yarmouth-Dennis Regional committee but their plans had progressed to a point where they felt it would be unwise to include Harwich. The Town of Chatham has no committee and repeated efforts were made by us to arouse interest there in the hope that such a committee would be formed.
Since neither Orleans nor Chatham seem to have solved their space needs at the high school level we recommend that this committee be continued. More space will be required for high school students by 1957, so we further recommend the immediate appointment of a space needs committee to offer an alternative solution.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Herring Committee
The Herring Committee reports that the seining pool was completed and was used extensively during the run by the townspeople. The Herring rights were not sold and there was a very good hatch in the ponds. The brooks were also brushed out and deepened. The committee wish to thank the Shellfish Warden for his assistance in completing the seining pool.
