REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health was organized on March 11, 1957 with Ralph E. Cole, M. D. elected Chairman and the remaining members Dr. Dwight W. Cowles and Robert L. Armstrong. Dorothy Healy, R. N., appointed Agent on loan from the School Department.
The Board was busy with six Polio Clinics - Salk Vaccine being given to 108 as the second inoculation and 1,066 as the third. Monthly meetings were held with interviews for townspeople.
The Nashoba Health Unit continued to expand its activities includ- ing some new services. There were 226 Sanitary Disposal Inspections, 52 Private Water Tests and 64 Milk Samplings taken from delivery cars, as well as numerous consultations.
The Rabies Clinic gave 25 Immunizations. The Well Child Clinic examined and immunized with Triple Vaccine 447 children.
Dr. Smith, of Nashoba, gave Influenza Inoculations to 48 members of the school personnel. The Dental Hygienist, a Westford resident, Mrs. Adele F. Darrah gave Dental Surveys and Fluoride Treatments to Grades 2, 5 and 8.
There has been a sharp increase in examinations of new develop- ments.
The Board has functioned with complete harmony and cooperation among its members thruout the year. We particularly wish to thank the School Committee for their loan of Miss Dorothy Healy, R. N. Miss Healy has continued to be an outstanding aid to this Board.

NASHOBA ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF HEALTH
Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the services rendered and the programs in operation during 1957 of the Nashoba Associated Boards of Health.
Besides carrying on our routine work, this year we have become interested in the possibility of sponsoring an Accident Prevention Pro- gram. Upon application to the Charles H. Hood Dairy Foundation the Health Unit was awarded a grant of $25,900.00 in June 1957 for a three year program in this area. Problems pertaining to staffing and organ- ization of the project are being worked out and it is hoped that before 1958 is over every citizen of the district will be familiar with and active in some phase of the project.
For the sum of $4,603.01 spent by your town in 1957 your citizens received the following services :
SANITATION AND LABORATORY SERVICES
General sanitation in your town has been satisfactory. People are accepting the new sewage disposal regulations with excellent cooperation and we are getting fewer nuisance complaints due to poor sewage disposal.
We are having quite a bit of interest shown in developing neighbor- hood nursery schools and have therefore requested all Nashoba Boards of Health to consider adopting up-to-date regulations to govern these child care agencies.
In the past year interest in both public and private swimming pools has developed. We will need regulations to govern these installations.
Inspection of public school buildings during October indicated a definite improvement in providing good environment for the children both in new schools constructed and remodeled buildings.
Nashoba restaurant sanitation in most cases continued to be above normal for the State. We have had a few establishments where we had to be very firm and with excellent cooperation from local Selectmen and
61
Boards of Health, these places have been brought up to Standard.
Supervision of milk supplies has been carried on by Mr. Perham who has been assisting us for the past few years after retiring as a State Health Department Milk Inspector. We believe the milk which is deliv- ered in our District is as good as, if not better than, the general supply in the State. We believe our testing program has been highly effective in achieving this result.
Recreation Camps were given a double inspection this summer, first by our own Inspector, Mr. Maurice Salminen, and then followed within a few weeks by a State Department of Health Inspector. Except in a few instances, our camps were found to be in very good shape.
Bathing Beaches, of which there are nearly fifty in the District, with very few exceptions, tested good. One bad condition, as the sum- mer wore on, was caused by drought preventing the bathing water from being freshened and circulated. In some instances, unsatisfactory algae conditions developed. However, we cannot see that any dangerous condi- tion developed before the end of the bathing season.

During the year 1957 the Bacteriologist has continued to try to improve the quality of Diagnostic Service offered to the people and
62
doctors in the area. This has involved both efforts at self-education and contacts with larger Laboratories and Medical Schools.
We hope to continue to try to provide better Bacteriology in the coming year.
NURSING AND PREVENTIVE DENTAL SERVICES
The actual transfer of administration of Nursing Service from Board of Health to School Department, which was decided upon last year, was accomplished in 1957. It is important to evaluate a service in the light of any such change as the framework in which a nurse works some- times affects the type of service she can give either quantitatively or qualitatively. Actually, Miss Healy has continued to give the same high quality of Nursing Service to your Town and works in close cooper- ation with Mrs. Hall of the Lowell Visiting Nurse Association.
279 pupils in Grades 2, 5 and 8 participated in the Preventive Dental Program this year and of this number 195 were referred to family dentists for further treatment.
MEDICAL SOCIAL WORK SERVICES
In making her Annual Report to the Nashoba Towns your Medical So- cial Consultant is aware each year that she has two conflicting objec- tives: To show each Town exactly how much it has used her services and, on the other, to keep her work confidential. The latter, unfor- tunately, precludes enumerating the different types of cases in the individual Towns and thus makes this Report necessarily very general in nature.
However, general Statistics are of interest to some people and any Annual Report would be incomplete without its quota of "figures". In the Nashoba area during 1957, 156 cases entailing 348 interviews and contacts were referred to your Medical Social Consultant. Again this year the nurses made the largest number of referrals and there was an appreciable increase in the number of referrals from doctors in the area. Your Medical Social Consultant referred 71 cases to other agencies.
Five Towns sent children to Forsyth Dental Infirmary this past sum- mer. They were Ayer, Shirley, Littleton, Lunenburg and Tyngsboro. The children in these Towns kept a total of 72 appointments on 12 different days during the month of July and the first week in August. It is hoped that a different arrangement for transporting the children using volunteers within the Towns can be worked out next summer so more Towns will participate.
Your Medical Social Consultant attended various professional in- stitutes and meetings in Boston and Worcester thus keeping in touch with other Social Workers as well as new trends within the profession.
PREVENTIVE MEDICAL SERVICES
Because of the shortages in Polio Vaccine Supply at various times, the date for the completion of this Program was deferred from July 1st to September Ist and finally to November 1st by the State. We are pleased to announce that the last "final" Clinic has been held and we feel that everyone eligible has had more than ample opportunity to com- plete his series of three shots.
63
Also Nashoba ordered and administered approximately 600 Asiatic Flu Shots to health worker, fire, police and highway personnel, school teachers, postal clerks and others in recommended categories in the Dis- trict. In the fall an outbreak at Fort Devens and a local College spilled over into the Community to a considerable extent. The School Absentee Rate, which we followed in all the District, rose to a high of 42% but dropped back to normal within a few weeks.
At the Well Child Conferences held in Westford, 447 children made 12 visits and received 522 Immunizations. 11 children were referred to their family doctors and dentists. Dr. Eleanor H. Smith attended these Clinics.
The Tuberculosis Clinic held in cooperation with the Middlesex County Sanatorium was well attended with 131 Patients living in Middle- sex County making 138 Visits. In order to provide better X-Ray facili- ties for this Clinic the Community Memorial Hospital of Ayer kindly permitted the use of the Hospital facilities beginning with the November Clinic. Worcester County Patients were seen, as usual, at the Worcester County Sanatorium.
Communicable Disease Reporting has improved greatly this year due to the cooperation of School Nurses in relaying information received from parents. It is noteworthy that there were no cases of Polio in the District during 1957. The following is a List of Diseases Reported in Westford during the year:
Chicken Pox
34
German Measles
4
Measles
5
Mumps
31
Meningitis

Scarlet Fever
11
Whooping Cough

Dog Bites 31
Two Veterinarians, Dr. Sherman Coates of Shirley and Dr. Clarence F. Bent of Nashua, New Hampshire, served the Rabies Immunization Clinics this spring and we were pleased that 13 Towns participated in the Program This was an increase of 5 Towns and 129 Dogs over 1956. 25 Dogs were Immunized against Rabies in the Town of Westford this year.
The Staff has spent a good deal of time in interpreting the Prema- ture Baby Law to Boards of Health in several instances. Also, we have interested ourselves in the standards of the many new kindergartens and Day Care Centers for preschool aged children. Standards have been recom- mended to all our Boards for adoption in the hope that we will have uni- formity of these regulations soon.
Various Medical and Public Health Students continue to visit the Health Center to observe our Programs and Organization. One research person from Harvard spent two weeks here this summer and wrote a Compar- ative Report of Nashoba and Erie County, Pa., Health Departments. The Staff enjoys these educational contacts and finds that in teaching it also learns a great deal.
In concluding I would like to remind all our Board Members, and through them, all Nashoba residents, that we welcome active interest in, and constructive criticism of our Programs and policies. We also wish to thank the Board Members and our many Volunteer Workers who help to make our Programs the success that they are.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
We have made a number of improvements in the Cemeteries during the year 1957. About 500 Feet of Permanent Hot Top Driveway has been laid. We intend to do this amount each year until all the Roads are finished. The Garage and Tool House have been painted and were badly in need of same. We also purchased a good used Pickup Truck which was a real necessity.
Mr. Axel G. Lundberg, who had served as a Commissioner for many years, passed away in August and will be greatly missed. The Select- men appointed Mr. Thomas Curley for the unexpired term of Mr. Lundberg.

REPORT OF BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
The Board of Fire Engineers submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1957.
The following men were appointed as Fire Engineers: Edward N. Lamson, Leo R. Larkin, Francis J. Mulligan, Carl R. Nylund and Hubert V. Raymond.
The Organization of the Board of Fire Engineers remained the same as 1956 with Lamson as the Chief Engineer and Mulligan as Clerk.
The growth of the Town is reflected in the number of calls an- swered and the increased number of ambulance calls. The Fire Depart- ment answered 174 calls as compared to 129 calls the previous year. The calls were as follows: 19 building fires, 8 automotive, 2 chim- ney, 1 oil burner, 4 electrical appliances, 4 transformer and overhead wires, 5 pumps and generator use, 1 lost child, 1 child through ice, 53 dump fires, 61 brush and grass fires, 5 mutual aid calls.
Our mutual aid calls were for Chelmsford, three times, Carlisle and Tyngsboro once each. On the other hand, Chelmsford came to West- ford twice and Carlisle once. Mutual Aid is a wonderful thing for these towns and the present Board of Fire Engineers will do all in their power to preserve the fine cooperation with our surrounding towns.
A new Radio Base Set was purchased this year at which time we transferred from the State Forestry wave length to the North Middlesex Fire wave length. Eight other towns along with Westford make up this wave length. This has proven to be very satisfactory for all.
The firemen answered 140 ambulance calls as compared to 101 calls in 1956.
This was the dryest summer in 140 years, and we were extremely fortunate to get through this without any serious forest fires. This was due to the sincerity of the firemen who, on numerous occasions, purposely stayed close to the fire houses which enabled the fire de- partment to make a quick response to what fires we had during the dry spells.
On various occasions this year the Board of Engineers has re- ceived compliments from other fire departments on the efficient manner that our switchboard has been handled.
The Engineers appreciate the splendid cooperation they have re- ceived from the Selectmen, Finance Committee and the Officers and men of the Fire Department.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The Welfare Board granted assistance on an average monthly case- lead in 1957 as follows :
Old Age Assistance 60
Disability Assistance 10
Aid to Dependent Children 8 General Relief 5
Several changes were made by the State Department in their rules and regulations. One of these was a revision in the Medical Care Plan, abandoning in part the Vendor Payment System, which was initiated in 1953. This was to prevent any loss in the money available from the Fed- eral Government for matching Universal Vendor Medical Payments as per provisions of Public Law 880.
The Aid to Dependent Children law broadened the definition of the word "parent", so that additional persons became eligible for this type of Assistance.
An increase was made in the payment of Nursing Care given Public Assistance recipients residing in Licensed Nursing Homes, effective September 15, 1957. The patients also received an increase in their personal allowance.
A cost of living increase of 5.7% was granted to recipients of Old Age Assistance, Disability Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children on September 1, 1957. A Special Fuel Allowance was set up as a seasonal basis for September through May for the winter figure and June through August for the summer figure.
