Library Trustees Report For Year 1955
The Trustees of the Eastham Library held their first meeting in March at which time Mrs. Lorna B. Horton was elected secretary to succeed Mrs. Natalie W. Eaton.
We again wish to thank all those who donated books to the library. We also appreciate very much the donation of $25.00 from The Orleans Women's Club which will be used to purchase additional shrubbery for the library grounds. Mrs. Harold Cole, our librarian, continues to plant flowers that brighten the entrance steps to the library.
The library steps have been painted and a new screen door installed. The Finance Committee made possible the purchase of eleven storm windows which we hope will re- duce heating costs. This year we saw the last payment made on the Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Trustees are faced with a very serious condition of damp and mildew in the library cellar. This causes damage to the storage of books and magazines that are not in gen- eral use and could be placed there for reference. Any sug- gestions for the elimination of this problem would be greatly appreciated by the Trustees.
We are all saddened by the passing of Mrs. Blanche Keefe, who was our librarian for almost thirty-five years. The library was closed May 4th in her memory.

Report of the Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent
To the Board of Selectmen:
The scouting and trapping program carried on in co- operation with the State and Federal authorities, for con- trolling gypsy moths, again failed to show their presence in Eastham. The program was shorter than usual this year due to early cold snap. Although no moths have ap- peared here, the program is of much value, as the weekly reports sent to the Conservation department aid them in tracing the movements of this nuisance.
The spraying of tent caterpillars and all insect pests was as extensive as possible with the funds available. Ap- proximately 150 hours of spraying was accomplished under the Insect Pest and Dutch Elm Disease program. The elm trees were under constant surveillance for the detection of the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease, and it is pleasant to report that Eastham is still free of it.
Dut to the fact that Poison Ivy had no control the previous year, it was very much in evidence this past year. Over 75 hours was given to the attention of curtailing it, and it is hoped that this can be followed through in 1956 so that Poison Ivy can be kept under the best possible control.
"Operation Pine-Looper" highlighted the spraying programs this year. The State sponsored the program and the Towns were responsible for the survey, mapping and reporting on the efficiency of the aerial spray in their own Town. The expense to the Town of Eastham was very small, as the weather was ideal for spraying and the entire town was sprayed in one day.
74
In order that a satisfactory program can be carried on this year of 1956, it is requested that the following amounts be appropriated : Tree Warden, $300.00; Insect Pest Control, $1,150.00; Poison Ivy, $500.00; Dutch Elm Disease, $320.00. The increase in the amounts requested will permit a more complete spraying program, and will allow the erection of a permanent storage rack for the spray equipment during the months it is not in use.

Report of The Old Wind Mill
December 13, 1955
To The Board of Selectmen :
The Old Mill was opened June 21 and closed Septem- ber 20. There were 13,640 visitors who signed the guest book, and several thousand more who did not, which were a few less than last year, due, I think, to the polio and hurricane scare.
The mill was damaged in the hurricane but will be repaired, we hope, in time to be in working order next summer.
The proceeds from the mill were :
Donations $442.64 Sales 876.55

Report of Planning Board
During 1955 there have been a total of nine sub- divisions approved with a total of approximately one hun- dred and fifty lots. It is pleasing to note that all of these subdivisions are well planned and that the majority of the lots are well over the minimum size.
The changes in the Zoning By-Law are, for the most part, designed to clarify the wording in some paragraphs and to simplify the administration in others.
The most important points involved are the banning of neon type signs, the strict control of other type signs, and the paragraph which clarifies the point that only one build- ing or structure may be built on a lot.

Success is a proud achievement and it is with great pride that this department claims a portion of the respon- sibility for a very successful year. The large number of auto accidents occurring in 1954 was by far our greatest prob- lem. During the past summer this department was able to institute a more comprehensive patrol program by increas- ing the number hours spent in the cruiser and by a general tightening of law enforcement. As a result of this, the acci-
78
dent rate for this year has been decreased by an amazing 55 percent. It is also very interesting to note that from June to September only nine accidents occurred as com- pared to 25 for the same period in the previous year. A natural consequence of this particular achievement and the general town growth that continues year by year means increased demands on the services rendered. The ever in- creasing problems brought on by rapid growth is naturally reflected in a slightly higher Police budget for 1956. It is my sincere hope that this budget figure will permit the de- partment to do a good and thorough job of police work for the Town of Eastham.
A further cost increase is affected by a greater cost of operating the dispatcher's office in Orleans. As has been proven by past experience this service is indispensable to the Town of Eastham. Without the availability of this ser- vice we would by necessity be faced with the need for our own unit to service police and fire needs at a far greater cost than the token payment now made.
I would like to take this opportunity to repeat a re- quest made in last year's report. It is imperative that every- one realize the importance of making immediate contact with the Police department when a situation arises that re- quires police attention. Delays in this regard very often make the difference between complete satisfaction for all concerned and complete waste of town money. Further, in this same vein and fully as important is the situation where the complainant refuses to prosecute when an investiga- tion leads to an arrest. Naturally, the most terrifying in- cident makes the best example. The case in point was one of carnal abuse of a 10 year old girl. The evidence indicated an iron-clad case and a sure conviction but the parents refused to prosecute and thereby permitted this demented adult to go scot free. To be sure, this may be an extreme example, but it does happen all too often in all the varying degrees of criminal and civil action.
79
During the past year this department was fortunate in having the part time services of several good men. Their diligence in their work was a factor in making a successful year. Further proof of their spirit and cooperation is shown by the fact that six men have given their evenings to at- tend and complete a 10-week course in General Police Practices.
Once more I should like to express my appreciation to everyone for their excellent support and cooperation. It has been a pleasure working for them and with them. Any recommendations that will tend to make a better Police Department will be gratefully appreciated.

Report of The Eastham Recreation Commission
To the Board of Selectmen :
We were unfortunate in losing the services of Miss Barbara Bedell, the swimming instructor during the sum- mer of 1954, but we obtained a capable replacement in Miss Sharon Tarvers. Miss Tarvers, a student at Springfield Col- lege, had an excellent background in swimming instruction, water safety, and life saving. For the fourth consecutive year the instructor was assisted by Miss Pamela Crosby.
Classes were held for beginning, intermediate, and ad- vanced swimmers, and for Junior and Senior Life Savers. The swimming program was in operation three days a week during the months of July and August with more than 130 children registering. Miss Tarvers reported 60 certificates were issued: 15 to beginners, 12 to intermediates, 15 to Junior and Senior Life Savers, 10 to swimmers, and 18 to advanced swimmers. For the benefit of those who did not attend, the Water Show held on August 30th at Salt Pond gave a fine indication of the progress of the children and the importance of the program.
After investigating the cost of construction of a suit- able float for Great Pond, Mr. Bernard Collins, Jr., was contracted to build a 10 x 12 float. This year we hope to have a new raft and board for Salt Pond and also to add a diving board to the float at Great Pond.
Once again the baseball program was divided into two groups : the Little League team for boys 9 to 12 years of
81
age, and the Pony League team for boys 13 to 15 years. Mr. George Nickerson coached the younger group and re- ported he averaged twenty boys at practice sessions and that twelve games were played. Mr. Samuel Sherman super- vised the older group averaging 15 at practice and playing 11 games. Both men were somewhat handicapped by the lack of other teams in the immediate area, and especially by the lack of transportation.
The annual Hallowe'en Party was co-sponsored by the commission and the Boy and Girl Scouts. Credit should be given to the scouts, their leaders, and to Mr. Roy Babbitt for the smooth manner in which the party progressed.
We are planning basketball for boys from the first through the eighth grade, having organized teams and games for boys over ten years old. Mrs. Robert Winship has volunteered to coach and we hope that by the time you read this, the program will be well underway.

Report of The School Building Committee
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Due to the many unforseeable details that arise when a sizeable building project nears completion, it was impos- sible to close the books on the construction of the addition to the Elementary School, prior to the end of 1955. At this writing, the major project not yet completed is the installa- tion of a large oil storage tank. The completion of this in- stallation, along with several lessor projects, is expected in the near future.
This report could go into much detail concerning the reasons for and the thinking behind the many various ac- tions taken by this committee. A report of this type would require much writing and long reading. It seems more prac- tical to suggest that all interested persons visit and inspect the building. In this manner one can, in a physical sense, see just how his tax dollars were spent.
The committee feels great satisfaction in being able to report that the program as presented and voted in 1953, will be completed for the appropriated amount of $135,000. Within this amount are several items not included in the original breakdown. For example, our school now has a very properly equipped Health and Dental Clinic Room. Much of this was made possible through the cooperation of the Board of Health. A second major "extra" is the heating oil storage tank. This is an $1100. investment that will completely pay for itself in less than five years.
83
It is our earnest opinion that the town of Eastham now has a complete and fully equipped school building. We feel that in most of the phases that concern elementary education in regard to space and equipment, we have com- pletely modernized our facilities for the comprehensive education of our present 6 grade unit, and that the town has received good value for the money spent.

Note: I would like to take this opportunity to public- ly express my personal gratitude to the members of this committee for their sincere efforts and fine cooperation. To each must go every credit for whatever degree of success is finally attained. It was indeed a pleasure to have been associated in a civic project with a group who felt such sincere responsibility at having been entrusted to the task of expending public funds.

Chairman.

Report of Shellfish Constable
To the Board of Selectmen :
A total of 88 bushels of quahogs were planted on the north and east sides of Salt Pond. Two hundred bushels of oysters were planted on the south side of Salt Pond.
Quahog dredging in Cape Cod Bay has been at a stand- still. There were no bay scallops taken from Cape Cod Bay this fall. Scalloping in town cove was fair.
The scallop seed for the coming year cannot be esti- mated at this time.
The softshell clams in the Salt Pond area are in excel- lent condition. Would recommend that parts of the area be opened for family use this spring.
There were 839 resident non-commercial permits issued; 175 non-resident.

Report of The Eastham Improvement Association
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Eastham
The Eastham Improvement Association has successfully past its third birthday.
Time marches on and we in the Association feel that great progress has been made in closer relationship with our Town Officials, plus greater acquaintance among our summer residents.
We sincerely hope that next year we will have every non-voting taxpayer a member of the association.
The Eastham Improvement is the voice of the residents who are away during the winter months and unable to attend the Annual Town Meeting. However, our represen- tatives will be present at the meeting and will bring to the attention of the Selectmen the improvements we would like.
We wish to thank the Town Officials for their courtesy and kind consideration given to our requests in the past and hope to continue our pleasant relations in the future.
