VISITING NURSE REPORT
The Bridgewater Visiting Nurse Association receives part of its income from the Town of West Bridgewater. Health Supervision or new-born calls are free. Nursing care for other patients is paid for by them according to their ability to pay.
The nurse will visit anyone who needs professional care at home under the supervision of the family doctor. Anyone who is ill, or who has an elderly person at home who needs care, or mothers who need help in caring for their new babies may call on the visit- ing nurse.
There is a telephone answering machine in the office at Bridge- water and messages may be left there or at the nurses' home in the evening.
The Well Child Conference, held every two months in Bridge- water, is open to every child from babies to 5 years of age, whose parents would like them to be examined. Transportation will be provided if requested.
1957 has been a busy and successful year in West Bridgewater and we hope to continue our services to the Town as successfully in 1958.
Respectfully submitted, M. FRANCIS WELCH, R.N. E. MYRTLE HOWARD, R.N.

BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT - 1956
Polio clinics were commenced in the early spring of 1956 and during the year there were approximately 1200 who received first and second inoculations of Salk vaccine. It was originally set up to include babies and children to the age of 15; also pregnant women. Having sufficient vaccine available another group was added of 15 through 19 and at the close of the year, young adults from 20 through 29 were also included; the latter not on a clinic basis but
158
with free vaccine. All parental permission slips, requests for vaccine and subsequent reports to the State Board of Health were processed through the local board of health.
At the request of the State Board of Health, an equine enceph- alitis survey was conducted in West Bridgewater, in the early part of August. Held at the office of Dr. Joseph Calitri, it was the first in the Hockomock swamp area and excellent response of Town resi- dents aided immeasurably the research work of the State and Fed- eral Health departments. Though every person received a favorable report who participated in the survey, a problem did arise in regard to encephalitis. A number of wild birds were reported as being found dead and immediately buried. Inquiry found that tests must be made within hours of death so as to be effective. However, a local pheasant farm was particularly hard-hit and several of the birds were taken to the Waltham Experimental laboratory, with report given that encephalitis was present. The condition was re- ported to both County and State Health departments and a line of procedure requested.
West Bridgewater has a large extent of low-lying and swampy land, which provides an excellent breeding-place for mosquitoes. The aerial spray program assists in controlling the pests, but it is felt that a much more inclusive program is demanded. This includes a long-range plan of ditching and draining. Also, and very import- ant, it requires the co-operation of every resident in eliminating possible breeding places on their property; of any container of stag- nant water such as cans and old tires; in other words of an intensive clean-up program in conjunction with work undertaken by the Town, County and State.
A chest X-ray clinic was conducted at the Town Hall, made available by the Plymouth County Health Association and Ply- mouth County Hospital. Response, again was good and there was no expense to the Town involved. The CD Nurse Corps under the leadership of Mrs. Kenneth Buker provided hostesses and Town Clerk Anna Brown headed the clerical corps.
Over thirty investigations were made during the year relative to cesspool and sewage disposal problems; made more difficult be- cause of low-lying land and the presence of a strata of blue marl or hard-pan which is common throughout the area. Here, may it be
159
stated, the service of a trained part-time sanitarian would be most valuable.
The Town dump has posed a perennial problem, but condi- tions are believed to be in an improved state; in availability through roadwork and consistent bull-dozing; in cleanliness by eliminating much out-of-town dumping and by co-operation received from townspeople. A custodian would aid appreciably in controlling dumping but would also add to Town expense. Town-supervised rubbish and garbage collection is an item which must be decided on in the near future.
A number of small road-side dumps were also investigated and subsequent talks with land-owners and those in the neighborhood, found all cooperative and the conditions rectified. Signs were placed prohibiting further dumping.
In closing, we wish to thank the many individuals and depart- ments who have assisted during the past year in making West Bridgewater a healthier place in which to live.

Board of Health
BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT - 1957
During the year 1957 the following reports were submitted to the board of health; by no means a complete picture of illnesses in town. This is particularly true in the case of childhood diseases which were not considered by parents sufficiently serious to require the service of a physician. The board urges parents to make such report.
19 Dog bites
3 Measles
16 Mumps
3 Chicken pox
160
4 German measles
1 Scarlet fever
1 Salmononellosis

Salk vaccine inoculations in the polio program were continued, with booster shots given at town-sponsored clinics held at the office of Dr. Joseph Calitri; including pre-school and school children and expectant mothers. A clinic was also held for those in the 15-19 and 20-40 age groups. A pleasing percentage of townsfolk took ad- vantage of the State-provided vaccine.
Owing to the potential health hazards of an "Asian flu" epi- demic, vaccine was provided for all town employees on a voluntary basis. West Bridgewater was not hard hit by respiratory diseases, though absenteeism in November, at schools and places of business reached 25% over a period of two weeks. No shut-downs were necessitated. The local board made weekly reports to the State.
Unsatisfactory sanitary conditions, due for the most part to overflowing cesspools and sewage disposal plants, necessitated close to fifty calls during the year. The problem is one of long-standing as a large portion of town is low-lying and with poor drainage. Plans for clearing and widening brooks and tributaries are now in an active state, with the hope that resultant lowering of water will aid in providing better drainage. This is also expected to be of assistance in the mosquito control project as best breeding grounds are in stagnant water of swampy lands.
The town is growing and a separate board of health is believed by the present board to be a step forward in over-all progress.
Town dump was improved considerably during the year, with co-operation of residents. Roadside dumping has decreased and out-of-town residents have been restricted from using our facilities.
