REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN January 15, 1934
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I present you herewith the report of the activities of the Town Physician for the year ending December 31, 1933.
As my term of office began April 1, 1933, I shall pre- sent the figures covering that period, as follows :
Number of Office Calls 686
Number of House Calls 454
Number of Police Calls 40
Total
1180
This gives an average of over 130 calls per month, or · on a yearly basis a total of 1572 calls, as compared with 652 calls for the previous year.
Briefly, the work was divided as follows :
Welfare Department:
This part of the work was devoted to the care of the
sick poor of the town, and constituted by far the largest part of the work.
Also under the Welfare Department comes the care of the welfare workers employed on municipal projects
347

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
who are injured in the course of their employment. In industry, the men injured in the course of their employ- ment in most cases, come under the authority of the In- dustrial Accident Board, while injuries to the welfare workers are cared for by the Town Physician.
Hospitalization: Over three quarters of the welfare cases which require hospital care are sent to the Symmes Hospital. At the request of the Welfare Agent, I have made an inspection of these hospitalized cases every three or four days to determine whether or not they could be released from the hospital a few days earlier than they otherwise would be. By this the constant su- pervision our cost per case for hospitalization has been materially reduced.
The number of cases requiring medical care under Soldiers Relief, Mothers' Aid, and Old Age Assistance re- mained about the same. Police Department :
The work for the Police Department consists chiefly in the treatment of prisoners and in the commitment of. mental cases. During the past year there has been a slight increase in both types of cases: Social :
From time to time cases arise which require medical care but which cannot be classified either under the head- ing of police or welfare work, such as the abandonment of children. These cases eventually come to the attention of the Town Physician for disposition. There have been several cases of this type during the past year. Legal :
Persons claiming to have obtained personal injuries through defects in side walks or streets frequently make

REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN
claims against the town. At the request of the Town Counsel the Town Physician makes an examination of these cases and sends a written report of his findings to the Town Counsel.
I feel that the town of Arlington, and particulary the Welfare Department has performed in the year 1933 a most commendable and thorough piece of work, and has done it in a business-like, dignified and kindly manner.
I wish to express my appreciation especially to the Welfare Department, Police Department, and Board of Health for their kind cooperation on many occasions.
Respectfully submitted
EDWARD W. FEELEY, M.D., Town Physician.
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
In compliance with the Town By-Laws the Board of Health herewith submits the Annual Report of the De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1933.
Board meetings are held at the office in the Town Hall the first Monday evening of each month at 7:30 o'clock. Special meetings are called when occasion re- quires. At the Annual Town meeting, held March 6, 1933, Dr. Charles F. Atwood was re-elected a member of the Board for the term of three years. Dr. Atwood having qualified before the Town Clerk, the Board held a special meeting on date of March 9, and organized by re-electing Alfred W. Lombard as its Chairman for the ensuing year. The personnel of the Board is the same as last year, and is as follows :
ALFRED W. LOMBARD, Chairman CHARLES F. ATWOOD, M. D. ERNEST R. BROOKS, D. M. D.
WILLIAM H. BRADLEY, Agent, Clerk and Milk Inspector
EZEKIEL PRATT, M. D., Bacteriologist and Physician to Board
E. F. MACKAY, D. M. D., Dental Operator
HELEN M. HEFFERNAN, R. N., Nurse and Asst. to Dental Operator

BOARD OF HEALTH
Under the heading of "Communicable Diseases" em- bodied in this report will be found a comparative list of the various diseases for the years nineteen hundred thirty-two and nineteen hundred thirty-three. These, as are to be expected, will vary in number from year to year. For the control of the minor diseases we have nothing new to offer other than to repeat what we have stated in previous years. "Guard your children, particularly while very young, from coming in contact with a child showing the least sign of any sickness, even a slight cold."
The Middlesex County Tuberculosis Sanatorium, which opened in 1931, with accommodations to care for two hundred twenty-five patients, is probably not ex- celled in management, personnel, equipment and sur- rounding's by any similar institution of its size in the United States. With slightly less than two years of ex- istence, however, it is plainly apparent that it is not large enough to accommodate the many over and above the allotted number desiring admittance. The fact that from three to four months must elapse after application has been filed before applicant can be admitted is proof suffi- cient for this statement. Both from a humane and public health viewpoint these conditions should be remedied by providing additional accommodations and with the least possible delay. At the present time, December 31, 1933, sixteen persons having a legal settlement in Arlington are being cared for at this institution, with three others on the waiting list. In addition to this we have Tuberculosis patients placed in other institutions as follows :
One at the Rutland State Sanatorium; one at the Waltham Hospital; three (children) at North Reading State Sanatorium; two (one child and one adult) at the Lakeville State Sanatorium.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
There is not the slightest doubt that artificial im- munization enters largely into the decrease in the number of cases of Diphtheria in Arlington in recent years. Dur- ing the past year we held two Clinics and administered the Toxin Antitoxin treatment to five hundred and eight children. That this measure has rapidly gained in favor is clearly demonstrated by the large number of babes in arms brought to our Clinics to receive the treatment. It is hoped the day is not far distant when all Arlington children upon reaching the age of one year will be im- munized against this disease. Parents can greatly assist towards this end by having the family physician admin- ister the treatment.
Recently the State Department of Public Health have advised local Boards of Health of the value of blood of persons convalescent from Scarlet Fever for use in the prevention and treatment of the disease in others. The Board, after being assured that no harmful results would follow either to the donor of the blood or those to whom it may be administered, decided to put this measure into effect in Arlington, and on December 22nd, 1933, upon the payment of five dollars to each, procured the consent of eight suitable subjects, residents of Arlington, who con- tributed a sufficient amount of blood to make the under- taking worthwhile. The procedure of collecting and processing this blood is interesting yet involves a con- siderable amount of time and labor. The donors must be twelve years of age or over and have recovered from an attack of the disease within a period of one year. The blood is collected by a physician from the State Depart- ment of Public Health, taken to the State Laboratory where it is tested for purity, processed and returned to the local Board of Health. We hope to have this serum ready for limited distribution to the physicians as a prophylactic early in January, 1934.
353
BOARD OF HEALTH
Owing to the prevailing conditions the Board made no request for appropriations for mosquito-control work or for the care of Spy Pond and the Reservoir. We had, however, from our Mosquito-Control appropriation of 1932 an unexpended balance of $281.17. Working under this, we deepened the outlet trench from the Symmes Swamp, laid one twelve-foot length of six-inch iron pipe, built a dirt dam over same, with stone buttresses laid in cement at either end, at a cost of $185.25; the balance of $95.92 was used in the Dixon Swamp area. All other mosquito-control work during the year was done by the local Unemployment Department, under the direction of the Board of Selectmen.
Included in Article 23 of the Report of the Finance Committee was an appropriation of $450.00 for the care of Spy Pond and the Reservoir at Arlington Heights, to be expended under the direction of the Board of Select- men. Acting under authority given by the Selectmen, the Board of Health, with men from the local Unemployment Department, directed the work which consisted of clear- ing the rubbish from shores of Spy Pond and treating both bodies of water with Copper Sulphate. During the process of removing the rubbish from Spy Pond an un- fortunate accident occurred when on date of May 29th the boat which the men were using capsized, and one of their number, a Mr. William Dutton, lost his life by drowning.
The Board is still of the opinion that one of the out- standing necessities of which the Town stands greatly in need is the installing of an incinerator for the burning of rubbish collected by Town teams.
The usual licenses and permits required by Statute law and our regulations have been issued.

The pre-school attendance showed a gratifying in- crease over previous years.
