Stations manned during Blizzards February 7 and December 28
The Fire Engineers are asking that a sum of money be appropriated to purchase a new Class A pumping engine that will serve the depart- ments needs in the Nabnasset section of town for the next twenty five years. This new engine will replace a 1940 mack engine now stationed there that has become obsolete and unsafe for the men to use and re- pair parts are not obtainable. Furthermore this is a Civil Defense piece of equipment obtained by the town in 1957 and can be called out of town in an emergency and we have no control over it.
We are also asking a sum of money to repair a year 1935 pump on the 1953 year engine 2 at the Graniteville Station. This pump is worn out and in need of repairs.
The cottage at the Central Station is badly in need of outside painting, also other repairs are needed at the Forge Village Station.
The new air whistle was installed at the Central Station and will give years of service, also it can be transfered to a new Cen- tral Station in the future.

A new shingled roof was put on the Forge Village Station and the doors and trim boards replaced and painted. A new porch was added on the cottage at Central Station. New hose was purchased, mud and snow tires were installed on engines 1 and 2, a new antenna for the base station was installed and makes our radio network more powerful.
As our town grows the demand for the services of the Fire Depart- ment increases, our ambulance makes more calls, inspections of nursing homes, schools and public buildings are done on a regular basis as required by State Law. And the years of the call fire department in the town are becoming more and more a thing of the past.
The Fire Engineer's feel that a fund should be started and a com- mittee appointed to build a new Central Station. Also, the department has a 1947 Engine 8 in the Graniteville Station that will have to be replaced in three to four years as this truck is now twenty years old.
The town is indeed fortunate to have such a fine dedicated group of men in its fire service who give so much of their time and energy to its progress and the least we can do is to provide the men with the best possible equipment for their safety, and make their work of protecting our lives and property that much easier twenty four hours a day.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The Westford Board of Public Welfare respectfully submits its annual report for the year 1967. The Board Members are Chairman Wil- liam MacMillan, Samuel Richards, Sr., and Reginald Blowey.
Mrs. Edith M. Lowney is the Director of Public Assistance and Miss Shirley M. Anderson is the Junior Clerk-Typist. Because of an increased caseload mostly due to the impact of Medicaid, it was nec- essary to hire a full-time Social Worker. Mrs. Dorothy M. Green of Graniteville began her duties in this capacity on July 17th.
We administer five catagories of assistance which include Old Age Assistance, Disability Assistance, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and Medical Assistance (Medicaid). All are Supported by Federal, State, and Town money. We also administer General Relief which is supported by 20% State and 80% local funds.
The average monthly caseload for 1967 was as follows:
Old Age Assistance 27
Disability Assistance 12
Aid to Families with Dependent Children 21
Medical Assistance 164
General Relief 7
A total of 1,092 visits and/or contacts was made and 502 appli- cations were processed. At the end of the year 1,065 persons (150 adults and 916 children) are approved and eligible for assistance.
Our total 1967 expenditures were $250,639.03. Federal and State reimbursements plus refunds and recoveries amounted to $177,612.69. The net cost to the Town was $63, 026.34.
During the year rate increases were effective for rest homes, nursing homes, chronic hospitals. Dental, eye, and lab fees were increased. Approval was given for payment of Chiropractors. On Sep- tember 1, an increase in grants was given due to a cost of living in- crease.
At the time this report goes to press, the legislature has pass- ed a bill to take over the Welfare Department effective July 1, 1968. Further details are not known at this time.
Once again we extend a big "Thank you" to individuals, organiza- tions, and clubs for their contributions of food, clothing, camp fees, etc .

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
This department was organized in April with Ralph E. Cole, M. D. elected as Chairman. The other members being Lucien Menard and Edward McLenna.
The main work of the Board of Health this year has showed an in- crease of importance due to various bits of legislation and the avail- ability of a trained social worker. It is interesting to note that like so many other problems, they are similar to other communities of our size. We may well look forward to really tremendous changes in the fields of sanitation, particularly as regards sewerage disposal, water pollution and air pollution. Many of these changes will seem restrictive to a good many of our citizens, and it is our opinion that in order to enforce them, these will probably become federal laws or at least state laws far more stringent than any local laws. It is also most likely that there will be a regionalization of health ser- vices similar to Nashoba throughout the state. In this event, it is most probable that Nashoba will be taken over in some fashion by the state organization, since it has worked so effectively over the years.
The report from the Nashoba Associated Boards of Health is at- tached and I would recommend to our citizens that they read it very carefully for it represents a most unique service administered at less cost per actual service than it has been in previous years. This is remarkable in this day and age.
The town dump presents the same problems as it does in other communities. However, a comparison with other communities as regards cost and condition reveals ours to be a good one by any such evalua- tion. As a result of open bidding, a new caretaker was appointed as of December 23, 1967, and it is hoped that the new contractor will be as efficient as the one who carried on the work in late 1966 and 1967. A Pest Control Service is handling the preventive rodent control.
The Board of Health reviewed the Mosquito Control Problem and has available mimeographed copies of the findings as of 1967 includ- ing some recommendations. You may have a copy by applying to the Board of Health.
A number of regulations were established during the year as re- gards the dump, stabling of horses and some sanitation changes.
Mr. Lucien Menard was appointed to the Regional Solid Waste Disposal Planning Committee. The other members being Mr. Mark Mulli- gan and Mr. William Carroll.
Work has continued on the future plans for Town sewerage as a result of the surveys completed during the last several years.
As of December 5, 1967, a new law became effective which requires all school children, kindergarten through grade 8 to be successfully vaccinated against smallpox, and immunized against diphtheria, per- tussis, tetanus, measles and poliomyelitis, unless there are medical
98
or religious contraindications. This will be carried out under the auspices of the Board of Health. Also in the field of communicable disease, there has been considerable activity on the part of Miss Healy on a home visiting program to acquaint the families regarding the above legislation and communicable diseases in general.
The report of the Well-Child Clinics is seen in the Nashoba report. The Board has also conducted a Rabies Clinic by Dr. Clarence Bent assisted by Dog Officer Mr. William MacMillan and Mrs. MacMillan. One hundred and fifty five dogs were treated. There were also two Flu Clinics conducted by Dr. Cole at which one hundred and nineteen individuals were given influenza vaccine.
The Board of Health wishes to express their appreciation for the outstanding work of Miss Dorothy Healy and she in turn wishes to join us in thanking the following volunteers who have cooperated in Well- Child Clinics and the other clinics mentioned above:
Mrs. Richard Hall, R.N., Mrs. Richard Cockerline, R.N., Mrs. Richard Verzone, R.N., Mrs. Edward Abbot, Mrs. Arthur Agnew, Mrs. William Bolger, Mrs. Lincoln Clark, Mrs. Ralph Cole, Mrs. Joseph Giuffrida, Mrs. Guenffrud Hamer, Mrs. Arthur Healy, Mrs. Gordon Jones, Mrs. Robert Joyce, Mrs. Edward Malone, Mrs. Gerald Marchand, Mrs. Anthony Sambito, Mrs. Daniel Pioli, Mrs. Stephen Poulsen, and Mrs. James Timberlake.
We are now in new quarters on the second floor of the Town Hall and should you desire to attend any of our meetings, an appointment may be made to do so through Miss Healy, the clerk.
Respectfully submitted,
Ralph E. Cole, M.D., Chairman Edward F. McLenna Lucien J. Menard

REPORT OF NASHOBA ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF HEALTH
Nineteen Hundred Sixty-Seven is the first full year that I have been the Acting Director of the Nashoba Health Department. The pro- grams conducted by the Nashoba staff during this year have had a full measure of success due first to the complete cooperation of all the member Boards of Health and, second, to the faithful support provided by our professional staff.
The ever-ready availability of our five-member medical advisory committee (Drs. Cole, Farrand, Harris, Hopkins and Stecher) has made the handling of medical problems a simple procedure for a layman director.
The temporary misfortune in losing both Nursing Director and Nursing Supervisor in May was quickly compensated for by the promotion of Miss Jane Kerr from a staff nurse to the position of Nursing Super- visor on June Ist. Our nursing service is strong with well-qualified personnel.
Well Child Conferences:
21 clinics were held at which 178 children made 311 clinic visits. Tine Testing for Tuberculosis:
School Personnel: Tests administered - 44; positive - 0 Persons with positive reaction were referred for chest x-ray.
Children Grades 1 & 9: Total enrollment - 452; Tests
administered - 289; positive - 5. Appropriate follow-up was carried out by the nurse.

The position of Medical Social Consultant was changed from a four-day week to full time in April. This position continues to be competently filled by Mrs. Audrey Pond. Her guidance of our health team through the new Medicare and Medicaid programs has extended and commended her value to our organization. During 1967, your Medical Social Consultant was active in 321 situations involving 1118 contacts, of which 12 situations and 43 contacts were in Westford. On behalf
100
of all the towns in order to improve her service in all programs initi- ated by Nashoba, your Medical Social Consultant attended and partici- pated in twenty-seven professional meetings. She worked in your town with the complete cooperation of your nurse, Board of Health, and other town officials.
Mrs. Fuentes, who instituted and developed our Nutrition program, resigned in July and her position was immediately and capably filled by Mrs. Ping Lee who has continued to build strongly upon the fine base started by Mrs. Fuentes. Direct services continued to be our greatest contribution, but with a definite increase in nutrition con- sultation being noted. During the last six months, the following work was accomplished:
119 patients received detailed nutrition instructions. 121 persons benefited from group activities. 72 consultation visits were made to schools, camps, day care centers and nursing homes. 63 consultation conferences were held with the professional staff personnel of Nashoba.
The Nutrition Service which has been financed from its inception by a government grant will be supported by our own Association on a part-time basis during 1968. The present rate of demand for this ser- vice by our residents may well require full-time coverage in the near future.
Mr. Donald Melloon was promoted to Senior Sanitation Officer in charge of the Sanitation Service. Your Acting Director continues to carry a share of the sanitation work. Two full-time vacancies have existed on the sanitation staff since late 1966. These positions have been adequately covered by temporary professional people, well versed in health work, working for Nashoba during their spare time and on vacations. The following statistics present a condensed picture of the sanitation work accomplished in your town during 1967:

Our dental hygienists, with the cooperation of the professional team, are making a special effort to motivate parents in securing better dental care for the children. The interest of our Dental Con- sultant, Dr. Benjamin Lawton, makes this a complete professional effort. Starting in September, 1967 the hygienists are now examining the 1st grade and 5th grade children for dental defects. Second and eighth grades receive examination, cleaning, and topical fluoride application.
Dental Health Educational programs are provided in the Ist and 4th grade classrooms. The hygienists, accompanied by the town nurse(s) are making home visits to the parents of the children who have exces- sive dental decay.
Our clinics have been fully staffed by qualified physicians, nurses, and assistants. The Well Child Conferences have been very successful throughout the full year. The bi-monthly chest X-ray clinics continue to be a joint effort by the Nashoba Community Hospital, the Middlesex T. B. Hospital, and our Nashoba staff.
A new home-visiting program consisting of assessing family im- munization status has been instituted by the State Division of Com- municable Disease under a Federal Grant. This is instrumented by the nurses of our Nashoba Health District. Nurses visit the homes of in- fants and two-year old children for the purpose of evaluating the family immunization status and to encourage parents to get the young children properly immunized and to complete the immunization of all their children.
Rabies immunization clinics for dogs, sponsored by Nashoba and conducted by many of the area veterinarians, were outstanding in the number of animals handled. We received a favorable commendation from
102
the State Division of Communicable Disease for the success of these clinics.
Our office staff has been outstanding in contacts with the public. Those who come to the office or call by telephone are always sure to get a ready answer given in a friendly manner. We are very fortunate in being able to hold such a mature and experienced group which makes our organization well rounded.
Sincere thanks are due to the interested citizens and the faith- ful volunteers who have helped in numerous ways to make 1967 a health- ful year in Nashoba.
