Fire is one of the nation's most tireless and persisent grim reapers. And down the years its horrible harvests have grown more lush as man has invented new products and processes that provide tools for the "reaping".
What most of us fail to appreciate is the fact that these losses, highest in the nation's history come at a time when our fire prevention and suppression effort is at its peak. We can only wonder what it would have been without this effort. At the same time it raises the question: Is the fire service doing all it can to curtail this destruction. If it is not where does the fault lie? Trying to pin point the blame is like try- ing to pick the cause of a conflagration.
Complicating our present day fire control and extinguish- ing efforts are hazardous factors strictly of this age in which we live. One of a great many too numerous to try and mention is the use of high pressure natural gas and growing use of liquified petroleum gas. This year I will bring before you a "Gas Code" and my hope is that you will except this as an- other advancement in the suppression of fire and loss of life.

This past year has recorded the smallest number of fires and fire losses in a great many years, this can be marred with one fire so let us continue to keep our guard up and master this destructive force.
I wish to thank all 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, Chief of Fire Department
County Health Dept. Report
To the Board of Health
Harwich, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The acute communicable diseases were unusually pre- valent in this Town during the year, but cases were of the non-preventable diseases for the most part. No cases of diphtheria, typhoid fever or other like preventable diseases were reported. During the months of July through November, an epidemic of poliomyelitis occurred in this area, and four of the eighty-one cases of this disease reported in Barnstable County were residents of Harwich.
In spite of the confusion, which was present last spring, regarding the so called Salk's poliomyelitis vaccine, sixty- eight per cent of the parents of children in the first and sec- ond grades requested that the vaccine be administered. One dose was given to one hundred and nine children.
Other health services were carried out during the year without significant change from the previous year.
Respectfully submitted,
F. L. MOORE, M.D., M.P.H. Agent of the Board of Health

Report of the Board of Health
In accordance with the vote under Article #64 of the Annual Town Meeting the Board of Health appointed a Committee of seven persons to study the matter of Fluorida- tion. The findings of this Committee appear elsewhere in this report.
The Board has inserted an article in the 1956 Warrant for the purpose of acquiring more of the marsh land surrounding the Town Dump for an addition to the disposal area.
We are also asking for funds with which to build a small shelter and tool house for the Dump Custodian. Experience has shown that it is necessary to have a man in attendance at all times.
During the year the Town was required under State Law to assist in the cost of premature births in the amount of $430.51. Reimbursement of this amount to the Town is still pending a final clarification of settlement status.
Financial assistance was provided for tuberculosis pa- tients at the Barnstable County Sanitorium. Harwich admit- ted three cases during the year. Two of these have been dis- charged.
