Numerous meetings were held to read and discuss sign by-laws of surrounding towns. After much discussion, a sign by-law was formulated for the Town of Tewksbury and is to be presented to the townspeople for their consideration at Annual Town Meeting 1966.
The Planning Board is inserting in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting 1966 articles pertaining to the following:
1. Authorization to enter into negotiations with the Administrator of Housing and Home Finance Agency to apply for federal funds.
2. The Planning Board, after careful analysis, is of the opinion that public sewerage will eventually become a necessity for the town and, in anticipation of this, recommends that the necessary land be secured for a sewerage treatment plant.
3. That the Town amend zoning by-laws to allow the Board of Appeals to act under Chapter 41 Section 81-Z.
4. An article referring to Regional Planning.
Correspondence was exchanged with the Attorney General, represen- tative Bocko, department of Commerce, Housing and Home Finance Agency, surrounding towns, Board of Road Commissioners and the Board of Health with regard to Board procedures, zoning matters, sewerage, etc.
The Board was represented at the Regional Planning Board meetings held throughout 1965 and is a member of the Regional Planning Board.

Veterans' Services . .. continued
The year 1965 was a very active one. A total of 2012 inquiries and cases were handled by this office. Some 20 classifications of problems were represented in the total cases handled. Frequently the work load of this office was too heavy for the prescribed work day. What was not accom- plished within such limits was handled outside regular hours.
In May 1965, the Director/Agent was appointed a Notary Public by the Governor of the Commonwealth. The purpose of this appointment is to help in expediting veterans, widows and dependents, social security V. A. compensation and pension cases and other vital statistics. Some 150 items were notarized. There is no charge for this service to veterans and their families.
On December 9, 1965, a bill was signed by the Governor of the Com- monwealth to abolish the Veterans' Benefits Settlement Law. The effective date of this law is March 10, 1966. This will mean that any veteran or dependent who has residence in Tewksbury and complies with the other sections of Chapter 115 of the General Laws will be eligible for financial assistance immediately from the Tewksbury Agent. In the past years, a veteran and dependents were required to be residents of Tewksbury for 5 years before being eligible for financial assistance. As Tewksbury will lose 4 or 5 cases, it is expected we shall gain some 80 new cases in 1966. (This is a conservative estimate).
In the year 1965, all financial assistance budgets for veterans, widows and dependents were increased 10% by the State - 5% January 1 and 5% on November 1. Also, a law was passed in 1965 whereby eligible veterans who were out of work because of a legal strike would be eligible for financial assistance. There are also several laws pending before the State Legislature to include veterans of Viet Nam and other so-called "Cold Wars" in the Commonwealth's Veterans' Services Program.
Every request for assistance that was received was accorded conscien- tious consideration by this office. All possible assistance was invariably rendered. There was complete co-operation with the office of the State Commission of Veterans' Services, local veterans' organizations, Mass. Rehabilitation Commission, Veterans' Administration, Mass. Employment Service, the Clergy and others whom the Veterans' Agent is in contact with.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Honorable Board of Select- men and other officers of the Town who have assisted the Director/Agent in his duties.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Walter J. Pupkis, Chairman
John J. Belton Salvatore Ciaccio John K. Eaton Roger Lafreniere
The Town of Tewksbury is in keen competiton with every city and town along U. S. 495 in the struggle for new industry. Area surveys are constantly being made by Realtors for corporations seeking new plant loca- tions. Our Commission has been called upon on a few occasions to accom- pany groups viewing possible industrial sites in town varying in siz from ten to fifty acres.
During the past year, the Consolidated Rendering Corporation com- pleted and is occupying a new building on Woburn Street housing their Main Office and Research Laboratory personnel that were relocated from Boston; the new Holiday Inns of America motel under construction on Main Street at U. S. 495 containing 120 units should be ready for occupancy in the spring; the Stadium Plaza Shopping Center has been completed and is now opened; site preparation for a commercial complex is under way at the East Interchange of U. S. 495 on Main Street; options were taken on two ten acre parcels along southern side of railroad between East and Shaw- sheen streets.
Tewksbury has benefited industrially to a limited degree to date from the new highways U. S. 495 and U. S. 93. The real impact will not be felt until U. S. 93 is completed into Boston and U. S. 495 is tied in with the Massachusetts Turnpike. The present industrial growth in our Town con- sidered with the contemplated expansion plans of corporations presently located here, is evidence of good rapport between our citizenry and industry, a climate that must be ever present as one of the essential elements necessary if we are to enjoy any sizeable industrial growth.
The Commission wishes to extend a welcome to our new Industry and its appreciation for cooperation from our elected officials and citizens.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES WHICH COME UNDER THEIR JURISDICTION
Victor N. Cluff, Chairman
Joseph J. Whelan Kevin C. Sullivan
The Board of Health meets the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30.
Several sewerage complaints have been investigated and corrected. There are some still pending. There seems to be no quick way at present to solve the increasing problem of overflowing septic systems. The board is con- sidering a quicker method of dealing with this problem.
At the July 2nd, 1965 meeting changes in the plumbing code as recom- mended by the Plumbing Inspector were adopted and advertised according to law.
The renewal of the rubbish and garbage collection contract for 3 years was signed by the Board and Mr. Ventura Canelas in July.
The question of land filled dump is now before the Supreme Court for a decision.
DENTAL CLINIC
Evelyn Fraser, Dental Hygienist
During the September 1964 to June 1965 school year, we cleaned six hundred ninety-five (695) children's teeth, and examined eleven hundred twenty-eight (1128). Fifty-five percent (55%) of this total figure were found in good condition compared to twenty-seven percent (27%) for the year before. Three hundred sixty-one (361) children were examined on pre- school registration days.
Each child is given instructions in "how and why" care of the teeth. Toothbrushes are given to the first graders through the courtesy of the Parent Teacher's Associations.
During Dental Health Week, Proctor and Gamble supply free educa- tional material to grades one through six, and toothbrushes and paste to third graders which is distributed during our Dental Education assemblies.
Because of the response to our program, it is impossible to cover every classroom in the school where we have facilities. We try to reach them every other year.
SANITARIAN - Department of Food and Milk Albert J. Reardon
The following is my report of the food and milk inspection from January 1, 1965, to December 31, 1965.
Inspections were made monthly of those establishments preparing, serving, or handling food or drink. Bacterial swabs were made of eating utensils to determine if they were properly cleaned. Recommendation was made for proper rotation of products to insure good quality food and milk.
101
Board of Health . . . continued
Milk and cream samples were taken at random each month from stores, processing plants and delivery wagons. Bacteriological and chemical analysis were performed for conformance to state standards.
Water samples were analyzed where there was a suspicion of pollution.
The various merchants are to be praised for the great improvements they have made in the past year, insuring a better quality product.

MEDICAL SERVICES
Honor G. Kelley, R. N.
The following medical services were made available to residents of the Town of Tewksbury during the year 1965, under the direction of the Board of Health.
Infants, three months and over, were given the opportunity to receive protection against poliomyelitis at clinics conducted in a series of two. One in January, and the second dosage given in March. A total of 210 were immunized at this time.
Diphtheria, Pertussis, (Whooping Cough) and Tetanus clinics were carried out in a series of three. Beginning on March 31st, repeated on May 5th and ending on June 16th with a total of 355 receiving this immunization. Booster shots were available at all of these clinics.
The Board of Health introduced a new protection in the form of Measle vaccine. Administered at three separate clinics, the serum was made avail- able to every child over nine months of age.
At a separately maintained clinic, with no cost to the town, injections for protection from influenza were given to the Town employees.
Vaccination for small pox took place on March 24th with a total of 196 receiving this immunization.

ANNUAL REPORT OF AUXILIARY POLICE
Albert LaBonte, Captain
The following information, compiled from department records, indicates the number of man-hours expended by members of this department during the past year, and also indicates activities and duties not normally encountered in the normal duty status.
Your attention is again directed to the fact that no member of this department receives any remuneration and that the man-hours expended are donated by members of this department.
At the time of this report the department consists of sixteen (16) men under the direction of Capt. Albert LaBonte and Capt. Bonslaw Kohanski.
It is with regret that the resignation of Capt. Philip Burgess is an- nounced. Capt. Burgess served this department for the past twenty years with distinction and honor and his guidance and supervision will be sorely missed.
The department continues to operate the Rescue and Light Truck and has recently acquired, through Civil Defense channels, a Ford Sedan, to be used as an Auxiliary Police Cruiser. To supplement the normal equipment the department continues to maintain ten (10) mobile short wave radio units, owned by individual officers, operating on the same frequency as the Tewksbury Auxiliary Police Department Base Station.
Your attention is directed to the fact that the Tewksbury Auxiliary Police in 1965, initiated and conducted a comprehensive program in Riot Control. This program, authorized by the Civil Defense Department, by the FBI, and given in conjunction with the U. S. Army Provost Marshal's office, Fort Devens, Mass., was attended by representatives of fifteen (15) separate police departments. The program was such a success that its entire program was forwarded to the Federal Civil Defense Department, Washington, D. C.
Special Attention is directed to the fact that during the Power Loss emergency, in 1965, at the orders of President Johnson, the Tewksbury Auxiliary Police Department was called to act in the emergency. Within fifteen (15) minutes of the Federal mobilization fifteen (15) officers and men of this department were in uniform and on duty. Within this time the Auxiliary Police Department, with emergency power, had a complete radio net in operation, had all mobile radio units in operation and on duty, had auxiliary generators supplying power for the Regular Police Department and for the Fire Department. Mobile units supplied police protection at the banks, shopping centers, stores, and maintained road patrol with auxiliary cruisers.

TEWKSBURY HOUSING AUTHORITY
Paul Testa, Chairman
Since last Town Meeting, regular and special meetings have been held for the purpose of expediting construction of our new forty-apartment complex at Carnation Drive.
With full cooperation of all Town Boards, construction has, in general, been progressing better than expected. Problems have been few and of a minor nature. As of this writing, 20 of the 40 apartments are occupied and tenants are reporting complete satisfaction. March 15, 1966 should see the project completely filled.
The community building which house the Authority's office, a kitchen, a laundromat and hall is expected to be available at the same time.
Design and construction have been closely scrutinized by the Authority in order to supply housing that is safe, comfortable and of low maintenance.
Rising construction costs and the low income of our Senior Citizens have loomed as the major obstacles to construction. It was through much work and close scrutiny that the rent was pared to $55 per month including heat, utilities, anticipated maintenance and ammortization of outstanding debts.
Applications for occupancy were slow in coming at first, but soon picked up after an appeal by the Authority for greater participation of the towns- people was made public.
Occupants are chosen on the basis of the following State regulation: 1) persons 65 years or older; 2) proof of the United States Citizenship; 3) low income.
The Housing Authority has enjoyed the part it has played in bringing this project to a successful conclusion and looks forward to other projects in the future. The Authority's goal is to supply housing for all qualified citizens who seek it.
