ONE-HUNDRED-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
proper means of flushing with water at time of using, where water is available, shall be hereafter installed on any premises in this town. Where water is not available for flushing, indoor chemical toilets of approved material and construction may be installed under special permit of the Board of Health if proper provision is made for the disposal of the contents thereof.

Every owner, occupant, or agent of premises in which there is any private sewer, drain, privy-vault, septic tank, or cesspool shall keep the same in a sanitary condition and shall have every privy-vault, septic tank and cesspool emptied and cleaned when necessary or at such times as ordered by the Board of Health. No privy-vault, septic tank or cesspool shall be emptied except by such parties and in such manner as shall be especially authorized by the Board of Health. If the owner or occupant fails to comply with such order, the Board may cause the nuisance, source of filth, or cause of sickness to be removed, and all expenses incurred thereby shall be paid by the person who caused or permitted same, if he has had actual notice from the Board of Health of the existence thereof.
These regulations are adopted by the Board of Health of the Town of Norwell in accordance with the provisions of Section 31 of Chapter III of the General Laws of Massachusetts. After adoption of these regulations, and being printed once in this local newspaper, they will be enforced.
NORWELL BOARD OF HEALTH MINOT WILLIAMSON, Chairman RICHARD E. CUGNASCA DANIEL R. CURRIE
If soil conditions and drainage are right, a certificate is issued, stating that fact. To obtain an inspection, contact any member of the Board. In the meantime read the rules carefully before opening ground for a cess- pool. A diagram of the property must be filed with the Board stating distance between cesspool, well and house. If the premises pass inspec- tion, upon payment of $1.00 a permit is granted the owner or builder.
Since this regulation went into effect, all cesspools have been in- spected and the $1.00 for each turned in to the Town Treasurer.
The following cases of communicable diseases have been reported:
Chicken Pox 10
Measles
20
Mumps 13
There are still many parents who do not follow the state regulations relative to reporting diseases dangerous to the public health. Just a post card addressed to Board of Health, Norwell with "John Smith, 6 yrs., Oak St., Measles" on the reverse side is sufficient. Your child must be excluded from school in event of an epidemic and no record exists of his having had the disease then going around.
75
TOWN OF NORWELL
14 dog bites and 2 cat bites were recorded during the year and the animals quarantined the required length of time.

Complaints.
Complaints of any nature relative to health conditions must be made in writing over the signature of the complainant, otherwise no action will be taken.
Union Health District
The Board urges everyone to cooperate with the Committee appointed by the Moderator to study the Union Health question. Representative Hurwitz has filed a bill with the House of Representatives to put an end to the State's power over the health policies of cities and towns, author- ized by Chap. 662 Acts of 1949. Write to all Senators and Representatives to support Representative Hurwitz in the passage of his bill.
Dump.
In closing this report, the Board wishes to call your attention to the condition of the Dump after the recent snow storms. Instead of carrying their garbage into the dump, several persons dropped it along the road way. This is most unsightly, in addition to being a health nuisance.
You are urged to drive well into the Dump and throw all garbage over the bank in the rear of the Dump.

REPORT ON THE TOWN DUMP
Town of Norwell:
The dump has been kept in as good condition as possible, using the amount of money appropriated, at the present location of the dump. The contour of this land is completely unsuitable for a dump. The quantity of rubbish has increased to a large extent and the amount of money is insuffi- cient to do the job that is expected by the townspeople. I recommend the town secure a new location and, if possible, where water is available. The present location is a fire hazard in a high valuation district of town. I further recommend a location where there is a dropping off of land rather than the flat area of present location. A new location, more appropriate, would lessen the danger of fire, be more sanitary, and render more satis- faction to the townspeople.
LORING WADSWORTH
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
I wish to submit the following report of the Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent for the year 1952:
There were thirty-one new cases of Dutch Elm Disease discovered in Norwell this year; this includes both public and private shade trees. Twenty-eight of the diseased trees have been removed and destroyed. Owners of affected private trees have been most cooperative in helping to remove their trees. Compared to surrounding towns this is a relatively low number of diseased trees. However, Dutch Elm Disease is still one of the most serious problems of our tree department.
According to the country-wide trapping program the gypsy moth seems to be moving back into the Plymouth County area. Six moths were trapped in Norwell and hundreds in the rest of Plymouth County. This is a great increase over last year's trapping program.
Many dead or nearly dead trees were removed from the roadside this year. These trees were considered hazardous and there are many more such trees that should be removed. The roadside brush was removed from several streets this year to allow safer travel on our wooded roads.
Eleven roadside trees were planted this year, and although the spring
TOWN OF NORWELL
planting suffered from the drought this summer, the dead trees were re- placed this fall. A town nursery was established this year, and at present contains about two hundred sugar maples of various sizes. It is hoped that these trees will be of great value in replacing some of our old trees, which we know someday must be removed.
I wish to thank the Garden Clubs and other citizens of Norwell who have cooperated so well with our Tree Department.
Respectfully submitted, WESLEY H. OSBORNE, JR. Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF THE NORWELL VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION. INC. FOR 1952
To the Selectmen
Gentlemen:
It is my privilege to submit to you, for the officers and board members, a report of the work accomplished by this organization during the past year.
There are four outstanding services which we offer to our towns- people.
83
TOWN OF NORWELL
First, the nursing service, most capably managed by Miss Catherine Roe, assisted by Mrs. Clifford Howard as substitute nurse. There has been a yearly increase in these bedside nursing calls. In 1951 there were 583. This number has increased to 986 during 1952.
Second, the Well Child Conference under the supervision of Dr. Alice Butler, is one of our most important clinics. Dr. Butler is assisted by Miss Roe, Mrs. Frank Donovan and Mrs. Harold King. Transportation is furnished by Mrs. Edward Keefe and Mrs. Thomas Barstow. Each child at this clinic is given the same examination and care it would receive in the doctor's private office. There is such a demand for appointments that Dr. Butler has suggested an extra clinic every third month. The first one was held in December, the next will be the second Tuesday in March. The regular clinic days are the fourth Tuesday in each month from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. at the Town Hall. Appointments may be made through Miss Roe by calling 5-M.
Third, the High School Dental Clinic, under the supervision of Dr. Donald Parsons. This is maintained entirely by the V.N.A. I quote from a letter written by Dr. Parsons instead of the usual statistical report: "Under the leadership of the School Hygienist, I think the scope of Dental Health Education should be stepped up in all grades. This will be done during the current year.
"Clinic work has progressed smoothly during the year, and has been aided this year by several new pieces of equipment, the most important of which is the automatic amalgamator (For mixing fillings).
"I would like to give special thanks to my volunteer assistants, namely: Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Rounds, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Babcock and Mrs. Oxford. (Mrs. Rounds is chairman of this group.)
"Without their aid, progress would certainly be much slower."
We also assist at the pre-school Dental Clinic.
Fourth, Free Chest X-rays. In October we again offered free chest X-rays to the public and high school students. This was with the co-opera- tion of the Board of Health, Plymouth County Health Association, and the Seal Sales Committee. Mr. Frederick A. Small was Chairman of the Survey; Mrs. Thomas Barstow, Chairman of the Hostesses; Mrs. Edward Keefe, Chairman of Transportation. The report follows:

The organization was saddened by the loss of one of our prominent members, Mrs. Richard Brooks. Mr. Brooks has established a trust fund in her name, the interest of which is to be paid to us annually.
Mrs. Theodore Dyer is chairman of our membership drive. She reports a slight increase over last year's amount. Many more families are represented in the $401.50 received.
Each year our budget grows. The cost of dental supplies has increased. The salary of our substitute nurse was increased from $35.00 per week to $42.00. With the three extra Well Child Conferences the doctor's fee will

be doubled for those months. All of these expenses are paid for by the V. N. A.
The two rummage sales continue to grow and make enough profit to be our main source of income. Again we thank every one in town and the surounding towns for the help they give.
New equipment has been received this past year: A new hospital bed and mattress given by Mr. Andrew Gardella; A hospital bed given by Mrs. John Woodworth; many medical supplies by Mrs. Stuart Rand; a bed to be loaned by Mrs. Harold Cranton; a baby's basinette given by Mrs. Helen E. Norris. A wheel chair was purchased through our account for a chronic invalid in Canada. Our regular equipment for use in homes without charge includes: 5 hospital beds, crutches, bedside tables, ice cap, rubber ring, 2 bedside chairs, a back rest, three wheel chairs and a baby basinette.
