TOWN OF NORWELL
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To clarify the statistical report shown below and to give a clearer picture of the administration of the funds under Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children, it is essential that the townspeople realize that of the total expenditure of $34,239.71 in these two categories of assistance, the Federal and State governments contributed a proportionate share in reim- bursements to the town, so that the total cost to Norwell for 1946 was considerably below the above figure, or roughly one-third. The Federal reimbursement is applied to future assistance, while the State receipts go into the General Fund.
General Relief for Norwell settled cases is paid wholly by the town, reimbursement. being received only for State cases and other towns' settled cases living in Norwell.
The program of Old Age Assistance is based first of all on the need for assistance, and secondly on the ability of the applicant with the aid of the local Board to establish eligibility as to age, citizenship, residence and the lack of resources sufficient to maintain himself. The ability of chil- dren to contribute to the needs of a parent within certain limitations must also be taken into consideration.
It is the endeavor of the local Board at all times to supply each recip- ient of Old Age Assistance the aid necessary for his welfare within the Social Security and State laws, and based on the standard budget as set up by the State, but we must keep in mind also that the funds necessary to meet this program must eventually be charged back to the taxpayer. It is therefore a constant effort to meet the needs of the recipient and still keep the program within bounds. Constant supervision and knowledge of changes in legislation and regulations is required to administer the program which necessitates considerable clerical work, the lack of which could cost the town considerable in reimbursements.
The basic figure for reimbursement by the Federal Government has been increased since October 1, 1946 so that the cost to the town on each individual case will be lower. Also an additional amount is to be allowed for administrative costs.
Ten cases were aided during the year on General Relief. Five were for temporary aid only and have been closed, leaving a balance of five cases active at the close of the year.

REPORT OF NORWELL SERVICE CENTER
The Norwell Service Center officials started to operate the latter part of November, 1945 and until May 30, 1946, an office was maintained in the Town Hall and was open for veterans and their problems on each Friday night.
We found that after that date, the great rush of cases began to fall off and we adopted a policy of handling the veterans either through phone calls or by personal appointment. This method has proven to be adequate to our needs in every way.
Since its inception, about 65 cases of veterans have been handled, ranging from procurement of the Massachusetts State Bonus, G I Trainee and Educational Benefits, Hospitalization, as well as procuring places in business for several of the veterans.
This committee has received excellent treatment from the Veterans Administration as well as from the Commissioner of Veterans of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts, and we feel that the veterans in this town have received equally good treatment from these two mentioned sources.
The undersigned committee hopes that any veterans who have a prob- lem will contact one of these committee members, who will endeavor to help them in every way possible.
Respectfully submitted,

STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir :
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Norwell for the period from September 5, 1944, the date of the previous audit, to July 18, 1946, and submit the following report thereon :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several deparments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and reconciled with the records of the town accountant.
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, the recorded receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments.
The appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by comparison with the records of the advisory com- mittee.
A balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared show- ing the financial condition of the town on July 18, 1946.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts were checked with the records of the several depart- ments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on July 18, 1946 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank in which town funds are deposited.
The payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the cancelled securities on file and also with the amounts falling due.
The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income and transfers to the town being verified.
The tax titles taken by the town on account of unpaid taxes were examined and the amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records. The tax titles redeemed were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous audit and all subsequent commitments were audited and reconciled with the assessors' warrants for their collection. The reported payments to the treas- urer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the asses- sors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town account- ant's ledger.
43
TOWN OF NORWELL
The commitments of departmental accounts receivable were proved, the recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts kept by the town accountant.
Verification of the outstanding tax, assessment, and departmental accounts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the town clerk, the selectmen, and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds furnished by the financial officals of the town for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of the sealer of weights and measures, as well as those of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and reconciled with the treasurer's receipts and with the town accountant's records.
In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
THE TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION, INC. NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS
To the Selectmen
Dear Sirs:
During the past year, this Association has made every effort to give the town the benefit of the best possible Nursing Service.
The Well Child Conference, better known as "The Baby Clinic", is now growing under the supervision of Dr. Alice Butler, pediatrician of Boston. Miss Catherine Roe, our Public Health Nurse, and Mrs. Harold King are always in attendance. Mrs. John Murphy continues to give her time each month in transporting mothers and babies. .
Appointments for the Well Child Confeence have to be made through Miss Roe. The day is the fourth Tuesday of every month from 1:00 P. M. to 4:00 P. M.

NINETY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Mrs. Lloyd West is Chairman of the T. B. Seal Sales again this year and has done fine work in that capacity. Half of this fund is used by our organization for Public Health Work.
With the opening of school this fall, Dr. Donald W. Parsons has held a dental clinic for the High School pupils one day each week. This clinic is sponsored entirely by our Nursing Association. Beginning with the grades having dental care and now through High School, we understand this is the only town in Massachusetts to have such a complete dental program.
We are now allowed $100 from the town for the operation and up-keep of the Nurse's car. This coming year a new car has to be purchased from the fund set aside by our organization just for this purpose.
All these and many other expenses have to be met by funds obtained through the membership drive held each summer, half of the Seal Sales fund, and our Spring and Fall Rummage Sales.
As everyone in the town knows, these Rummage Sales have become an institution and no one can afford to miss even one.
The annual expense of giving these services to the town has increased from approximately $750 per year to $2,700, the amount which will have to be raised for 1947.
The whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria toxoid, and Pre-School Dental Clinics will be held as usual.
The Nurse's hours are 9:00 A. M. to 4:30 P. M. week days, 9:00 A. M. to 12:00 Noon Saturdays. Sundays and holidays excepted. Please call Norwell 5-M before 9:00 A. M. for morning calls and before 1:00 P. M. for afternoon calls.

Norwell, Massachusetts
Dear Mrs. Sparrell :
Under the auspices of your association, a Dental Clinic for the junior and senior high school pupils was inaugurated this year.
45
TOWN OF NORWELL
In September, all the pupils of these grades were given a survey type of examination, in order to roughly determine the total amount of dental disease present, and also to classify the pupils according to their urgency for treatment.
As had been expected, the accumulated dental needs were found to be very great, especially in those children who had not received any treatment at a private dentist, since they became ineligible for the primary school clinic.
A few years of neglect at this age can mean the ruination of a mouth as a healthy functioning organ. Dental caries in most children, travels faster and is more rampant in the teen-ages than at any other time of life.
Cards were sent out early in September for parents to sign if they wished to have the work done in school clinic, and shortly afterwards defi- nite dental treatment was started.
Considering the extent of the accumulated needs. progress has been fairly rapid, and at the present time, cases in the eighth, ninth and twelfth grades are mostly completed.
A statistical report of work accomplished during the year, will be ren- dered at the end of the school year in June.
Respectfully yours,
D. W. PARSONS, D. M. D.,
School Dentist
