THE VISITING NURSES' YEARLY REPORT Town of Wilbraham


January 1, 1941-January 1, 1942


Briefly I would like to summarize the highlights of the nursing service in Wilbraham from January 1, 1941 to Jan- uary 1, 1942.


The Child Health Conference held in July was well attended. I want to thank Miss McGuill and her committee for the splendid cooperation and assistance during this time.

The clinic for Immunization against Diptheria held in October was very successful. Eighteen children of the 21 who needed toxoid were immunized at this time. Two of the re- maining three are being immunized by their family physician at the present time.


I want to thank the interested women in the town who have transported children to the Dental Clinic to the Child Guid-


41


ance Clinic and to the Westfield Sanatorium. It is interesting to note that nine children and two prenatal mothers have used the Junior League Dental Clinic and that three children have been attending the Child Guidance Clinic.


The sum of money available through the Womens' Club in Wilbraham has been used to furnish Cod Liver Oil to approx- imately eight families.


I believe that during the coming year a great deal of work and emphasis should be put on the nutritional problems ex- isting and also on the importance of early dental care. As each year comes to a close I find that a little more has been accomplished than on the previous year and I am looking forwar) with enthusiasm to the challenge the coming year presents.

Report of Fire Commissioners


Year Ending December 31, 1941


As indicated in the report for the year ending December 31, 1941 a special appropriation of $850.00 was made from the reserve fund. This was necessary because of the present nat- ional emergency and the participation in the Civilian Defense Program.


Conforming to the action of the surrounding towns and cities, auxiliary fire fighting services are being organized in Wilbraham, and at present there are 23 auxiliary firemen.


53


It was necessary to purchase immediately replacement and additional equipment, and every effort has been made to keep such purchases down to a minimum expenditure.
