Children in grades one through six were measured and weighed.
Massachusetts vision and hearing tests were given in all schools. Children's vision and hearing should be carefully ob- served. Proper care and protection can prevent serious impairment in later life.
In the year to come, I hope to be a valued health counselor to the students, parents and the faculty.

146 SCHOOL DENTAL HYGIENIST
Mr. Bert L. Merrill Superintendent of Schools West Bridgewater, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Merrill:
I hereby submit my second annual report of the West Bridge- water School Dental Clinic:
Dental examinations totaling 501 were given to pupils in grades one through five. Sixth grade pupils will be given dental examination in January. Dental notices were sent home to the parents of those pupils in need of dental treatment.
All pupils were given the opportunity to have their teeth cleaned at the clinic.
All pupils in grades two and five were offered the opportunity to have their teeth treated with sodium fluoride. This treatment is the application of sodium fluoride to the teeth in a series of four simple painless applications. Approved by the United States Public Health Service and the American Dental Association, it lowers decay 40%. One hundred thirty-six (136) pupils accepted, which I am pleased to report, is an increase over last year's total of only ninety (90) pupils.
Another factor in well rounded dental health program is the need for education and classroom instruction in good dental practices. At present, with the dental clinic in operation only two days a week, there is not sufficient time to present an adequate educational program.
Individual instruction as to the proper methods of tooth- brushing is given to pupils visiting the clinic for cleaning and sodium fluoride treatment.
In June I completed an "In Service Training Course in Public Health Dental Hygiene" sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Division of Dental Hygiene given in Boston.
147
I wish to thank you, Mr. Merrill, Mr. Belcher, principal of the Spring Street School, Mrs. Boynton, principal of the Sunset Avenue School, and all the teachers who have been most cooper- ative and helpful.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen respectfully submits the Town Report for the year 1958. It is recommended that the reports of the Departments and Committees be studied to familiarize each one with the operations of your Town's business.
Building permits issued, with costs estimated, were for:
20 Dwellings $194,800.00
1 Industrial Building 9,500.00
1 Private School
346,000.00
1 Parish Center
144,000.00
1 Club
1,000.00
8 Barns, Sheds, etc.
3,625.00
7,250.00
8 Private Garages Alteration to Private School 20,000.00
7 Additions to Dwellings 10,800.00
3 Additions to Commercial Bldgs. 5,400.00
Another step forward in the economic progress of the Town, was the establishment in the center of a branch of the Home Na- tional Bank. One of the pre-requisites to the attraction of business and industry to a Town, is the acquisition of local commercial banking facilities. We welcome the Home National Bank to our Town.
Chapter 90 New Construction on Manley Street, consisted of finishing the surface which had been given the base course during 1957, and re-surfacing a distance of about 2,000 feet.
Due to the rapid deterioration of West Center Street (Route 106) from the center to Elm Square, it has been decided to post- pone the completion of Manley Street to the Brockton line, until a later year.
The dedication of the Francis D. Howe Memorial Skating Rink on February 8, 1959 was the culmination of several years of effort and the expenditure of a considerable amount of money by the West Bridgewater Lions Club. The rink affords an excellent outlet for healthful exercise to young and old.
151
The Board wishes to thank all who have been of assistance during the year.
Respectfully submitted,

CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT
Last September on appointment by the Selectmen, I was brought in to help run the Town's Civil Defense unit. With the kind help of the earlier Director, Gordon Lovell, I have been able to get a few things accomplished. Life nowadays seems to afford too little time and energy beyond that consumed by breadwinning and householding, so that much less has been done than we had hoped and expected.
The organization has now active two admirably busy sections, and several remain to be activated. Many of our townspeople seem indifferent to Civil Defense, probably for lack of appreciating the possibilities of the situation and the nature of problems that may arise. We hope to improve matters by bringing to your attention the total facts of the case, and we are confident of the response that will come from a successful publicity campaign.
Help is needed in a dozen categories. When and if a catas- trophe breaks upon the nation, we shall be faced with the burden of housing and feeding an additional 12 to 15 thousand people. To deal with such a problem, the Civil Defense organization must be ready to arrange shelter, food and medical care, as well as schooling, for three times our present population.
Plans are afoot to recruit more staff, and we are confident of finding competent people for the jobs. Sections yet to be de- veloped are such as Public Information, Engineering, Welfare, Supply, Transportation and Warden Service. After enlisting the
152
services of the people we need to head up these sections, we shall start intensive training.
During the past year, our Nursing Section under the able guidance of Mrs. Kenneth Buker has been busy training with the Fire Department in First Aid matters, collecting and stockpiling supplies, and attending lectures. Several of the ladies took Dis- aster Nursing courses at the Lakeville Center. Monthly meet- ings, usually at the Fire Station, were carried on throughout the year. The Section is arranging for installation here of a properly equipped and stocked Civil Defense First Aid Station, from the equipment stored at Bridgewater. Eventually, it is planned, the gear and supplies for a 200-bed emergency hospital will be moved up here also, and a proper staff assembled.
In Radio Communication, we now have and operate five transmitter-receiver units, with six licensed "ham" operators signed up to use them. More staff are being sought. Two Mon- days of each month our section engages in drills with headquar- ters at West Hanover, and with other nearby towns. At other times our operators carry on practice with each other across town. Our Civil Defense radio uses the registered call number of its chief, Richard Packard. Mr. Packard's participation, with that of his assistants, has been thoroughly praiseworthy.
High credit must be given to our Nursing Section and Radio Communications personnel, who have worked long and hard with little recognition or encouragement. The town should be proud of these people. However, much remains to be done in other fields of the same mutual effort, and we are determined to com- plete the work of setting up and operating a full-fledged, compe- tent Civil Defense Organization in West Bridgewater.

154 FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Citizens of West Bridgewater:
The Finance Committee takes this opportunity to thank all department heads and staff personnel for the splendid co-opera- tion given them during the past year and to commend them for the excellent service they render to the citizens of West Bridge- water.
The Committee has met regularly since the appointment of three new members last April, holding approximately twenty meetings. Those joining the Committee are Karl W. Farrar, Joseph J. Braga and George E. Noonan. Later in the year Carl R. Bystrom was appointed to replace Sydney Richardson who resigned because he moved from the town.
Again, as we did last year, members of the Committee at- tended the eight week seminar on "Town Finance" and "Govern- ment" sponsored by the First National Bank of Boston. Much information is gained through these meetings. The speakers are leaders in their fields throughout the State.
Our Committee was represented at all regular meetings of the State Association of Town Finance Committees held in Cambridge.
To enable us better to understand the problems faced by each department, the Committee has visited all departments during the year, inspecting the housing facilities, equipment and discussing problems with department heads. During January and February the head of each department met with the members of the Finance Committee and their budgets were thoroughly and carefully re- viewed.
Special mention should be given the work done by the mem- bers of our Fire and Police Departments for their inside mainten- ance of the station. They have recently redecorated both wings: two new accoustic tile ceilings have been installed and all the rooms painted. The professional-looking job is a credit to the men. A visit to the station would be welcomed by the members.
155
AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION of all budgets as pre- sented, we make the following statements in explanation of our recommendations:
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Selectmen: No increase requested.
Accountant: Salary increase requested. The Committee feels that the work load of this department has not increased sufficiently to warrant it. Last increase in 1956 was $200.00.
Equipment - Typewriter to be purchased from Welfare Dept. Treasurer: Expense increase due to increased costs. Recommended.
Equipment - File (three drawer). Recommended.
Collector: Salary increase of $200.00 recommended because of
1. Additional work load of the department.
2. On the job five days a week 9 to 5 and Wednesday nights.
3. The town benefits by this office being open all week.
4. Last pay increase 1955.
Expenses reduced in the belief that the recommended amount will be sufficient.
Equipment - the town is greatly in need of a new safe in this office for the protection of its records. The present safe is not considered fireproof by the Fire Underwriters.
A counter as requested will add to the efficiency and appear- ance of the office.
Assessors: Salary increases not recommended because the work load of this department has not shown any appreciable in- crease. Last raise voted in 1956.
Law: Increases in this department not recommended.
Town Clerk: No increase requested.
Town Hall and Offices: Committee trusts that the reduced ex- pense figure will be sufficient for this year.
Election & Registration: A suggestion that the Street Lists be printed in alphabetical order at an increased cost is not rec- ommended as being of no particular value to the majority of the townspeople.
156
PROTECTION OF PERSONS & PROPERTY
Police: Salary increases requested and recommended are for the Traffic Women only.
Equipment - Purchase of a used typewriter is recommended.
Fire: Salary increase for the chief not recommended due to no evident increase in work load. Last increase in 1956 of $520.00.
Fire Station Maintenance: No increase requested.
Tree Warden: Salary increase as requested not recommended, but rather an increase from $1.85 to $2.00 per hour. $85.00 per week asked for. This salary is based on: 26 work weeks as Tree Warden, 10 weeks on Insect Pest Control, and 16 weeks on Town Elms.
Loam is to be added to the Tree Nursery. We recommend a visit to this nursery which has saved the town a great deal by the raising of trees for our streets. It is back of the Memorial Field and St. Ann's Church.
Insect Pest Control & Town Elms: See Tree Warden above.
Sealer of Weights & Measures: No increase requested.
Inspector of Wires: No increase requested.
Inspector of Buildings: The Committee feels that this department can be administered on a total budget of $1,000.00 rather than the $1,350.00 requested. Home building and repairs de- creased in 1958.
Civil Defense: Due to a previous unpaid bill this budget was in- creased to permit payment of the same.
Planning Board: No increase requested.
Economic Development Commission: No increase requested.
HEALTH AND SANITATION
Budget decrease due to drop in need of services.
HIGHWAYS
Slight increase due to use of more materials. Our roads are gen- erally kept in good condition. No increase in snow removal.
157
CHARITIES
Public Welfare Administration: Budget recommended.
Equipment - New typewriter has been requested and rec- ommended. Bids have been asked and the old typewriter will be sold to the accounting department.
Public Welfare Aid: A decrease in this budget is noted.
VETERANS' SERVICES
Roger Burrill took over as new agent on February 1, 1959. An increase was requested but we recommend that the budget be kept the same as last year when the total was not expended.
SCHOOLS
School Salaries: Your Finance Committee has met with the school authorities and gone over each item of their budget carefully. At the present time statutes prevent any changes to the school budget as requested and it must be recommended. $3,000.00 was dropped from the salary budget of the school lunch pro- gram with the approval of the School Committee. Questions regarding the school budget may be directed to the Superin- tendent of Schools or the School Committee.
LIBRARY
A new heating system was requested but after study and at the request of the Finance Committee it was tabled and the ex- pense account increased to allow for enough fuel for con- tinuous heat.
RECREATION
Monuments & Parks: Salary increase requested; not recom- mended. This committee feels that the work load does not warrant an increase at this time. Last increase 1958. New power mower purchased in 1958.
CEMETERIES
No increase requested.
158
PUBLIC SERVICE ENTERPRISES
Water: Salary increase for Superintendent requested by Water Commissioners and recommended by Finance Committee be- cause of the additional overtime work; (approximately 300 hours during 1958) no remuneration.
