All younger children wishing instruction in tennis met twice a week and also had the privilege of signing for courts during the week days. Supervision was pro- vided for the wading pool and playground apparatus. Careful watch was kept to guard against injury or in- fection.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Franklin :
During the year ending December 31st, 1940, there has been reported to the Board of Health 135 cases of reportable diseases as follows :
Chicken-Pox
34
Lobar Pneumonia
22
Measles
33
Mumps
2
Scarlet Fever
1
Pulmonary-Tuberculosis
3
Whooping Cough
28

Premature Birth

There were 43 cases of dog bite reported.
116
The year 1940 showed a low average of commu- nicable diseases reported. Only one case of Scarlet Fever was reported which is some record for a town of this size.
Our annual clinic for immunization against Diph- theria was held in November and December by the Phy- sicians of the Board and they were assisted by the School Nurse. Fifty-eight school children and seventy-eight pre- school children received the three inoculations for pro- per immunization and five pre-school children failed on the required number of treatments. The response to the clinic this year was quite gratifying to your board, espe- cially in regard to the number of pre-school children treated. The above figures do not include children tak- en to their family physicians to be immunized. of which there were many. It is through the co-operation of parents that we have made such a fine record of immu- nizing the children of our community. This good work has paid fine dividends up to the present by our not hav- ing a diphtheria case of pre-school in a number of years.
This year our record is clear on cases of rabies in animals. The heads of four dogs were sent to the Was- serman Laboratory, but all were reported as negative. Three persons receiving dog-bites about the face and head were given anti-rabic treatment.
For years this town has had the garbage collections taken care of by individuals who were willing to collect without compensations, but due to the low prices being paid for pork on the hoof, it has ceased to be a paying business. One garbage man quit in November causing annoyance to many householders. In order to be assured of proper collections of garbage your board feels that a sum of money will have to be appropriated. The accu- mulation of Garbage is a health menace.
