REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN
REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN
February 3, 1942
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall, Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I have the honor to submit herewith, the report of the Medical Inspector of the Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1941.
Due to the great National Defense effort, and the con- sequent reemployment, the number of Welfare recipients has been decreased considerably. Naturally, there is a cor- responding decrease in the Medical Relief work.
The total number of calls made in 1941 was three thou- sand four hundred and three (3,403), compared to the three thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine (3,929) made in 1940, that is a decrease of over five hundred (500) calls.
This is the first year since the outset of the depression in which there has been an appreciable decrease in the number of calls.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
In accordance with the Town By-Laws, the Board of Health herewith submits its annual report for the year end- ing December 31, 1941.
At the annual Town Meeting held March 3, 1941, Ernest R. Brooks, D. M. D., was re-elected a member of the Board of Health for a term of three years. Dr. Brooks qualified before the Town Clerk and was sworn to office on March 4, 1941. The Board met March 4, 1941 and organ- ized for the year by electing unanimously, Ernest R. Brooks, D. M. D., Chairman. The first Monday of each month was set as the regular meeting date.
The personnel of the Board of Health is as follows : Ernest R. Brooks, D. M. D., Chairman
Carl E. Barstow, M. D. John S. Crosby
Appointments
J. Philip Bower, Agent and Clerk of the Board
Ezekiel Pratt, M. D., Bacteriologist and Physician to the Board
Edward F. Hand, D. M. D., Dentist Helen M. Heffernan, R. N., Nurse and Dental Assistant Arthur Taylor, Inspector of Slaughtering J. Philip Bower, Inspector of Slaughtering J. Philip Bower, Milk Inspector
In general there was no marked increase in cases of
358
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
reportable diseases for the year 1941. Measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough showed an increase in the number of reported cases, as compared with 1940.
This year it was felt that one Diphtheria Clinic would be sufficient to accommodate those wishing to take the treatment. As a result, the Spring clinic was eliminated and only the Fall clinic operated. This arrangement proved most satisfactory and met with very good response. The results are appended in tabulated form in this report.
The annual clinic for inoculating dogs against rabies was conducted in the Spring when 885 dogs, of 1966 licensed in the Town, were given the treatment. The co- operation of resident dog owners is again solicited. Have your dog licensed on April 1st of each year and also have it vaccinated against rabies, either at the clinic or by your veterinarian. In the case of a dog bite, be sure to determine the name of the owner of the dog involved and report this and the bite to the Board of Health office at once. Full co- operation in these matters will greatly reduce the cost to your Town in treating cases of dog bites.
The Dental Clinic service was continued as in former years. The results of this service are reflected in the general health of the school children of the Town.
As in past years, the waters of Spy Pond and the Res- ervoir were, under supervision of this Board, treated with copper sulphate to control the growth of Green Algae.
Licenses and permits, required by Statute Law and the Regulations of this Board, were issued upon receipt of ap- plications.
The Board wishes to thank the Arlington Visiting Nurses Association, the School Department and the Ring's Sanatorium for their assistance and co-operation through- out the year.
