REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Mass.
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
Please accept herewith my annual report as school physician.
Students and schools are multiplying regularly.
Football candidates were examined in August as requested. Other athletes were examined as rapidly as possible after school opened in September. My survey and evaluation includes such general supplemen- tal health statistics as growth, vision, hearing, TPR, urinalysis and blood pressure.
The school nurse and physical education teachers provide valuable assistance in completing the survey.
48
Each student is urged to discuss any health problem. Appropriate notices are sent home and consultations with family physicians are sug- gested when indicated. Pride in personal hygiene is emphasized.
Contagion has been minimal and well controlled by alert teachers and nurses.
Sanitation is generally adequate.
Immunizations offered by the Board of Health have supplemented good programs by family physicians. New legislation will now make immuni- zations mandatory for smallpox, whooping cough, diptheria, tetanus, measles and poliomyelitis. All students, and especially new students for the first grade, should complete their program immediately with their family physician, The Board of Health will also schedule pre-school immunization clinics this spring as usual for D. P. T., Sabin and measles vaccine.
The athletic grounds and facilities continue inadequate. It is hoped that the current survey will recognize this need.
The new nursing personnel are proving effective in the health program. We should encourage students in the health careers of nursing and medicine.
Miss Roe is completing a remarkable career as the School Nurse. I join all Norwell parents in thanking her for many most capable and com- passionate assists.
Sincerely, Raymond G. Vinal, M. D.

SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TREASURER'S REPORT 1967
In accordance with Section XII of the South Shore Regional School Dis- trict Agreement effective January 6, 1960, I submit herewith details of the 1967 financial transactions of the School District.
Details are presented with respect to the 1967 estimated expenditures; apportionment of estimated expenditures to member towns, actual cash receipts and disbursements, blance sheet and statement of outstanding debt as of December 31, 1967.
Total operating costs for the year were $359,600.00 which involved sal- aries and wages of $249,657.25 and other expenses of $109,942.75 details of which are shown in the cash expenditures schedule. Available Federal Funds of $64,363.80 reduced local expenditures for operating costs to $295,236.20.
Capital Outlay costs for the year were $196,668.12 involving cost of new equipment in the amount of $12,668.12 and bond principal and interest payments totalling $184,000.00 as shown in the expenditures schedule.
Expenditures under Manpower Development and Training Act PL 87-415 totalling $11,990.00 involved two areas of training; Precision Sheet Metal and Radio Television Repairman. Three courses of instruction were in operation during the year, two of which were 100% financed by the Federal Government and the cost of the third course was shared 90% by the Federal Government and 10% by the local School District.
Expenditures under PL 88-210 for new equipment in the amount of $25,201.57 were made from 100% grants provided by the Federal Govern- ment.
Expenditures under PL 88-210 for Occupational Preparatory Program in the amount of $6,893.02 were shared as indicated $6,120.47 by the Federal Government and $772.55 by the local School District. This pro- gram was 100% financed by the Federal Government last year but due to a change in policy, the costs for this year's program are being shared equally by the Federal Government and the local School District. This program involves part-time vocational training for students in the various high schools of the towns in the school district who attend their own school for morning sessions and are transported to our vocational school for afternoon sessions four days each week.
Expenditures under PL 88-210 for Remedial Reading and Math courses involves a project conducted during the summer months the total cost of which was $7,649.49. Last year this program was 100% financed by the Federal Government but due to a change in policy, the costs for this year's program are being shared equally by the Federal Government and local school district.
Expenditures under PL 88-210 Work Study Programs in the amount of $5,319.49 were shared 75% by the Federal Government and 25% by the local school district. This program involves a supervised work program avail- able to needy students who were paid at the rate of $1.50 per hour for building and ground maintenance duties.
51
Expenditures under Smith Hughes-George Barden Fund in the amount of $1,420.10 involved Work Study Supervision $300.01; Out-of-state travel $250.00, and installation of a new air compressor system $870.09.
Various additional expenditures under self explanatory titles were made per details set forth in expenditure schedule.

------
A $100,000.00 portion of 1967 Surplus Revenue has been voted by the District Committee to be used to reduce the 1968 Operating Cost Assess- ment to member towns resulting in a remaining balance of $2,694.00.
Unencumbered Reserve for Bus Replacement in the amount of $31,735.88 when added to remainder of Surplus Revenue in the amount of $2,694.00 results in a total effective balance of $34,429.88 available for school district use as of January 1, 1968.
An amount of Surplus Revenue equivalent to three months expenditures is necessary to enable payment of School District expenditures between January 1 and April 1 of each year inasmuch as the annual assessment revenue received by the School District from member towns is payable in quarterly installments on the first day of April, June, August and December of each year.
Respectfully submitted, John A. Ashton, Treasurer

REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Norwell for the year ending October 31,1967.
The Town of Norwell appropriated $6,000 for mosquito control in 1967. Along with this, $150 was appropriated for maintenance of ditches on coastal salt marsh. Both appropiations were expended by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project in effort toward a better control of mosquitoes in the Town of Norwell.
The South Shore Mosquito Control Project, authorized and acts under provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 252, Section 59,
58
mosquito control provisions and Chapter 112, Acts of 1931, pertaining to ditch maintenance of the salt marsh. The project is a year-round co- operative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth, covering a total area of 172.21 square miles, serving a popu- lation in excess of 223,000.
The Project continued to base its operation on a three-phase mosquito reduction program, giving priority in this order:
1. Source reduction, by proper ditch maintenance and water mani- pulation the mosquito's breeding areas are eliminated.
2. Reduction at the source, with small amounts of insecticides applied at a breeding source properly timed could destroy mosquito larvae and pupae by the millions.
3. Adult Control, the reduction of the adult of flying mosquito by means of space spraying or thermal fogging.
With this as the basic plan for mosquito control the following was accomplished in the Town of Norwell this past year.
Source Reduction
4975 feet of drainage ditches were reclaimed.
400 feet of new ditches were trenched.
All this to prevent water from becoming stagnant enough to produce mosquitoes.
-
Reduction at the Source
1425 acres of larger swamp areas were aerial sprayed by fixed wing type aircraft to prevent the development of the early spring mosquito larvae. 75 acres were sprayed by helicopter.
Throughout the summer season many wet areas such as salt marsh, quarries, rock pools, temporary woodland pools, roadside wet areas, storm drainage catchbasins, etc. have to be checked continually and wherever mosquitoes are contained they must be treated. 34 gallons of insecticides were applied for this larval control, usually at rates of one gallon to the acre.
The Culex mosquito, or "House Mosquito", is one of the Project's troublesome mosquitoes because of its ability to breed quite rapidly and in any size container of standing water, also its pesty habit of seeking the inside of buildings for biting and shelter. Catchbasins are, in most towns, the greatest source of these mosquitoes. This is the reason we must continually check and spray basins during the summer months. 330 basins were sprayed in the Town this year.
Adult Reduction
Control for the adult mosquito becomes necessary when large numbers emerge and move into residential communities, usually migrating from uncontrollable areas. Space spraying or thermal fogging are methods by which mosquitoes are knocked down in flight, or at their resting sites.

This Project becomes more involved in this method of control each year as request calls continue to increase to one thousand plus annually. Many are legitimate calls for a general area treatment, but the calls for per- sonalized backyard spray are on the increase. The Project cannot give this kind of service for it is a community control project, not an eradica- tion program.
963 gallons of insecticide were space sprayed and fogged for adult mosquitoes in the Town this year, by mist blower, hydraulic sprayers or thermal fogger.
The insecticides used by this Project in its mosquito control program are:
Abate 4, Fenthion Baytex, D.D.T. Dust, D.D.T. Emulsion, Nailed Di- Brom, #2 Oil.
These insecticides are all registered and labelled for use in mosquito control operation. When formulated and applied in accord with and at no greater amounts than their labels recommend to be proper for mosquito operations they pose no hazard.
This Project is continuing to phase out the use of the persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides such as D.D.T. To replace these are many newer insecticides coming into use each year, some specifically for mosquito control and all, indeed, good to their limitations, but at present remain more costly than the older insecticides.
These changes from persistent insecticides must be made for it is the duty of this Project to make its communities as free of mosquitoes as possible. It is also duty bound to operate in such a way as never to be a hazard to its persons, wildlife or their environment.
The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project.
