Cash, Cotuit Deceased State appointed member * Appointed fi REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF BARNS'TABLE For the Year 1955 The Town of Barnstable enjoyed a good financial year during 1955. In spite of the fact that the town used $228,000. of its surplus funds to apply toward the new schools and pother projects it was again in an excellent cash condition at the end of the year. Receipts from Excise Taxes, Licenses, Relief Reimburse- ments, Beaches and Docks, etc., exceeded by about $73,000. the amounts figured for them in determining the 1955 tag rate. Excise taxes were up $36,000. Beaches and Dock re- ceipts up $13,000. and Interest receipts up $14,500. over the previous year and accounted for the greater part of the $73,000. total, which at the end of the year was added to the Town's Surplus or Excess and Deficiency Account. Approximately $50,000. in appropriation balances was also added to the Excess and Defiiciency Account, so that at the end of the year the balance was $261,247. Of this amount the town can use $164,500. against, appropriations -during 1956, if it sees fit. It is always wise, however, to have a minimum of-at least $50,000. available for emer- gencies. Insofar as "debt and interest" payments are concerned, the building of the new High School and the two new elementary schools will'not have as serious an impact on the tax rate as some people expected. The actual payments for debt and interest for 1955 and those anticipated-for 1956 and 1957 are set forth below: 1955 1956 1957 Debt $108,000. $213,000. $249,500. - Interest 29,744. 60,500. 69,000. Total $137,744. $273,500. $318.500. 7 Credits via School Construction Grants, etc. 19,200. 41,800. 65,000. Net to be Appropriated $118,544. $231,700. $253,500. These figures do not include any additions to our bond- ed debt which might be voted during 1956 or 1957. They do show, however, that as compared with 1955 it will require about $2.36 more in the tax rate in 1956, and about $2.84 more in the tax rate for 1957 to provide for the payment of debt and interest, the increase being directly due to the "new school program." Considering the scope of the program, the relatively -small annual cost as reflected in. the tax rate is going to come as a pleasant surprise to many. The additional cost of operating and maintaining the new buildings is not in- cluded in the above figures. Nor have we attempted to esti- mate the additional increase in the tax rate that is bound to result because of likely increases in salaries and wages and due to the generally increasing costs of town and municipal government everywhere—a counterpart of what has been going ion in business and industry for some time. There is probably not a sizeable town in the Commonwealth that is not experiencing the same or more serious diffi- culties. 'The average tax rate in-Massachusetts last year was $54.43. While discussing the Town's finances it might be well to mention a few major projects which will be facing the voters in the near future. First: The sewerage system in Hyannis is now over- loaded in the summer months, to the extent that no new users can be added and a potentially serious,sanitary situa- tion exists. To provide additional facilities so as to remedy this situation an expenditure of about $255,000. will be re- quired, according to a careful survey report prepared for the Server Commission by sanitary engineers. This project should be done immediately in the opinion of the Selectmen, a large portion of the cost being borrowed for such period as the town may determine. • 8 Secondly: The municipal airport at Hyannis can now be greatly improved both as to runways and administra- tion facilities, with only twenty-five percent of the cost being borne by the town, the remainder coming from the Federal and State governments. The airport is a tremend- ous asset to the town and this would seem to be the op- portune time to bring it up to date in efficiency and abil- ity to serve the public. The estimated cost,to the town is $150,000. Thirdly: During the past decade there has been a tremendous increase in pleasure boating. Many communities along the Atlantic seaboard _have constructed "marinas" to provide dockage space for the ever increasing number of yachting enthusiasts. The Town of Barnstable, particu- larly Hyannis, is lacking in adequate facilities to care for all the boats that would like to visit us. A recent survey by local engineers proposes a new marina in Hyannis at Kalmus Park. The cost to the town would probably be not less than $300,000. (Total cost about $600,000.) Although we believe such a marina would be a tremendlous asset to Hyannis, and the town generally, we do not believe that 1956 is the proper time to begin it because of financial com- mitments existing and probable, which, in our opinion, should have precedence. Fourthly: In the near future it seems likely that the town will be asked to make improvements and possibly additions to the Marstons Mills School. Also the village of Osterville is growing so rapidly that it is only a question of a short time before another addition will have to be added to the present school building. The projects listed above would seem to be the most important ones which will confront the voters during the next two or three years. In a town growing as fast as ours, however, problems arise quite unexpectedly and there may well be other extensive projects which the town may be requested soon to consider. Reference to growth of the town should not be made here without calling attention to the fact that our growth 9 in population in the last ten years.has been forty, per cent, from 8,647 in 1945 to 12,051 in 1955, while during the same period our assessed valuation has increased eighty-five per cent, from $25,286,000. to $46,680,000., and our number of dwellings sixty-three per cent from 3993 to 6509. Although we all think of a rapidly growing town as a prosperous •one, it would seem that such rapid growth as ours cannot be considered entirely healthy. It has created unusual demands both for the expansion of our school sys- tem and our highway system, and, also, for additional or expanded services of other sorts. It has attracted large numbers of our male population into the building trades. We estimate that one out of every six male employees is now sio engaged. A general recession in business would . cause considerable unemployment "locally as would any substantial decrease in new construction which is obviously at an extremely high level in the Town of Barnstable. Let us hope that neither of these things will occur for many years. Most of our bathing beaches have been for some time under the care and custody of the Selectmen by vote of the town. The most important of these from the point of view of use are Craigville, Sea Street and Kalmus Park. Charges are made to non-residents for parking at these beaches and additional charges for use of bathhouse facilities at Craig- ville and Kalmus Park. The beaches had a good season financially. Had it not been for the hurricane and polio scares in August our receipts would have been much greater. The tabulations below show income at the listed beaches for 1955: _ CRAIGVILLE BEACH June July August September Totals Parking $1657. $9706. $4726. $1251. $17,340. Bathhouse 887. 5603. 2686. 589. 9,765. $27,105. SEA STREET BEACH June July August September Totals Parking 75. 1815. 697. 82. $2,669. Food Concession 74. 273. 132. 16. 495.

The parking area at Sea Street Beach is in very poor. condition and the whole area should be paved. In order to do this an additional appropriation of about $4500 will be , needed to augment the balance of the appropriation made last year for Sea'Street Beach Improvement. The parking area at Dowse's Beach in Osterville re- mains unpaved and it is recommended that a start be made in 1956 to provide better parking facilities at this beach. The village of Cotuit has never had adequate beaches. There will be articles in the 1956 Town Warrant, to ac- quire additional beach and parking areas at the "Loop." These requests from Cotuit seem relatively modest and it would appear logical for the town to cooperate in providing the village with these much needed beach additions. During the past year there has been unusually fine co- operation amongst the various town departments which has enabled all to do a better job and has reflected credit generally- on the town. VICTOR F. ADAMS Chairman, Board of Selectmen ` 11 r ASSESSOR'S REPORT FOR 1955 To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The Board of Assessors started a re-valuation program in 1951 with two additional employees added to the office staff for this specific purpose, We have hope of completing the program next year as there is the village of Marstons Mills to be done in the residential area and the business buildings in town. We believe this program has been successful for it does equalize the tax burden by an equitable assessment. A more complete report will be given on this subject next year after the completion. On the next page is the re-capitulation sheet which gives in detail our income, expenditures and the resulting tax rate. GEORGE L.

Adams, Chairman Barnstable, Massachusetts" Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period - -from April 22, 1954 to September 3, 1955, made in ac- cordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, .HERMAN B. DINE, Director of Accounts HBD:GBS Ml-. .Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from April 22, 1954, the date of the,previous examination, to September 3, 1955, and report thereon as follows: 78 The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer were examined, checked, and compared with the records of the several departments in which money is col- lected or bills are committed for collection and with the records of the town treasurer. The general and appropriation accounts in the ledgers were analyzed, the appropriations, loan orders, and transfers being compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed in town meetings and with the finance com-- mittee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund. A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on September 3, 1955, was prepared and is appended to this report. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed, the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the departmental records of payments to the treas- urer and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the records of disbursements were compared with the accounting officer's books and with the treasury warrants. The treasurer's cash balance on September 3, 1955 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office, by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, and by verification of the securities. The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and-investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the disbursements being verified. The records of employees' payroll deductions on ac- count of Federal taxes, county retirement system, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined and- checked, the payments to the proper agencies being verified. . The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and with the accounting 79 officer's books, the reported redemptions and sales were checked with the treasurer's cash book, the foreclosures and disclaimers were verified, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, proved, and checked at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The town and fire district taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments out- standing at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitments; were audited and checked with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the town and fire district treasurers were checked with the treasurer's cash books, the abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title accounts were -checked, and the outstanding accounts- were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger' accounts. The commitments of departmental accounts receivable were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with , the payments to the treasurer and with the accounting officer's books, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and compared with the accounting officer's controlling accounts. Verification of the correctness of the outstanding ac- counts was made by mailing notices to a number of per- sons whose names appeared on the books as-owing money to the town and fire districts, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The assessors' warrants for the commitment of town and fire district taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments were listed and compared with the de- tailed lists, and the records of abatements granted were compared with the amounts recorded in the town col- lector's books and in the accounting officer's ledger. The records of apportioned sewer assessments not due were examined. The payments to the treasurer in advance were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the amounts due and added to taxes 1954 were verified, and the apportionments due in future years and suspended were listed and reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger. 80 The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts on account of gasoline licenses and registrations were examined, and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's books. The records of dog licenses issued in behalf of the county and of sporting licenses issued for the State were examined and checked with the duplicates and stubs on file, the payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified. The surety bonds furnished by the several town offi- cials required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form. The books and accounts of the treasurer of the Dis- trict Department of Veterans' Services were examined and checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the district from the towns comprising the district were veri- fied. The payments were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on September 3, 1955 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank deposit. The records of departmental cash collections by the board of selectmen and the sealer of weights and measures, as well as by the police, building, health, school, and air- port departments, were examined and checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the cash on hand in the sev- eral departments, including advances for petty expendi- tures, being verified. Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession and de- partmental accounts, as well as schedules shoving the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds. While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from all officials of the town, for which, on be- half of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

Their fine cooperation and understanding has been greatly appreciated. The cooperation of the Clergy, in our Town, has been outstanding this past year. Many thanks to them. The cooperation of all Town Departments, this past year, has been exceptionally fine, I thank them one and all. I personally wish to thank Stanley Doane and Roger Scudder of the Highway Department for their cooperation during the year, especially for the times they were called at night and during holidays. To the Fire Chiefs of the various districts and their men, especially the rescue squads; the Cape Cod Hospital Star; the staffs of the New England Tel. & Tel. Co.; the Cape & Vineyard; the Western Union; the weekly and daily newspapers; the police officials and departments of the Cape along with the Massachusetts State Police; the District Attorney's Office and the Court Officials and their staffs, I say thanks for your cooperation. Finally, to all who have in any way contributed to make things easier for our Department, I say, THANKS, it has been a pleasure to work with you and for you. Respectfully submitted, HARRY W.' LAWES, .JR. Chief of Police 206 REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable We respectfully submit the following report pertaining to the Sewer Department for the year 1955. This ,year it is with deepest regret that we report the passing of our former Chairman of the Board .of Sewer Commissioners, Mr. Walter R. Pond, and former Commis- sioner Mr. Harvey J. Field. They had a great devotion to their positions and shall be greatly missed by their many friends and associates. Mr. Kenneth Bearse, Superintendent, reports that no serious trouble has developed at the pumping station in the past year to cause any suspension of service. Due to power failure the auxiliary power plant was brought into use many times; in one instance auxiliary power was used for a period of 46 hours. During the year 1955, there was an estimated 140,582,000 gallons of sewerage pumped: into the filter beds. This amount represents a substantial increase over last year's estimate. A new Builder's Flow Meter was installed at the pumping station this past summer, replacing the old Bailey Meter which was very unreliable. The eight filter beds are in excellent condition and are functioning satisfactorily. With the appropriation for a survey of the sewer sys- tem granted us last Town Meeting, we engaged the firm of Whitman and Howard, Boston, Mass. This firm furnish- ed us a most comprehensive report and found in general the condition of the system at its most maximum capacity during the peak-days of the summer. We have inserted an article in the Town Warrant to construct a new force main, renovations of the filter beds and pumping station. Should this article be approved, the major problems of the Sewer Department would be solved for many years. The Sewer Department wishes to thank the various departments of the Town, who during the past year have assisted us from time to time. This cooperation has been most unselfish and helpful. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT F. SCUDDER, Chairman WILLIAM M. BABBITT H. LESTER SHERMAN, JR., Sec'y. 207 Report of INSPECTION OF WIRES January 9, 1956 To'the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: I am pleased to'submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1955. Electrical inspections 2,432 Service permits to the Cape. and Vineyard Electric Company 743 Miles traveled 17,270 Respectfully submitted, W. ELLIOT LEWIS Inspector of Wires 208 i Report of THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: It is with a great deal of pleasure that I submit, my report on the activities of the Barnstable Highway Depart- ment for the year 1955. At the Annual Town Meeting, the sum of $158,000.00 was'appropriated for the budget of the Highway Depart- ment. This represents an increase of $8,000.00 over the amount approved for the previous year. However, this in- crease can be justified in that it includes the salary of a Construction Engineer now in the employ of the Highway Department, and an appropriation for the operation and maintenance of the Beachcomber, purchased by the Town in 1954. As this machine was purchased after a vote taken at Town .Meeting, no operation .expense account had been set up for it. Therefore, the Highway Department and Selectmen's Department jointly shared the expense of run- ning the Beachcomber during its first year in operation. It is well to note that this Beachcomber account is used for the operation, upkeep, fuel and transportation charges con- nected with the machine. The scene of operation on the Town beaches, the rental to outside Towns and interests, and the terms and charges attached to such rental rests' solely in the hands of the selectmen. It might be added, that the Beachcomber is in good condition at its present location at the Highway Garage, and that all officials con- cerned feel that it has been a fine addition equipment- wise, and has improved our beaches considerably in the two years it has been in operation. On May 1, 1955, the department hired Mr. Robert D. Klimm, of Hyannis,.as Highway Construction Engineer for the Town of Barnstable. Previous to this appointment, Mr. Klimm had served six years with the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Works working principally on-road con- struction and drainage. In fulfilling his duties with the de- partment, Mr. Klimm has been of untold help to the High- 210 way Surveyor in the great amount of road construction and repairs accomplished by the department during 1955. He has also been made available to the other departments to supervise projects where constant inspection and engineer- ing was required to make certain the job was done satis- factorily. In fairness to the Road Committee, it should be report- ed that at the time of its meeting with the Highway Sur- veyor, the Committee was unaware of these two additional items included in the 1955 budget. However, I feel sure that, they agree that the-recommendations of the Selectmen and the approval of the Finance Committee in regards to set- ting up an operating account for the Beachcomber, and the hiring of a construction engineer for the Town, has not only increased personnel efficiency, but has been a sound financial step as well. In the report of the Road Committee, it was pleasing to note the unsolicited commendation of the, excellent condition and administration of the Highway De- partment. This committee has seen fit to spend a consider- able amount of time going over the various budget, items concerning the department, the articles for submission to the Town Warrant and traveling to see first hand the sites involved in each article, as well as making a thorough in- spection of the department shops, grounds and equipment. E1 "working" committee such as this, who gives freely of its time., is indeed an asset to the Town and a great help to'the department involved. It is felt that through the use of comprehensive work schedules and planned labor'placement in spending high- way allocated money, we have more completely and econom- ically built new roads and maintained the highways, side- walks and drains in all the villages of the Town. The sum of $1,283.68 has been returned to revenue by the Highway Department in 1955. ROADS, SIDEWALKS AND DRAINAGE PROJECTS . HYANNIS: Elm Street .......................................

It is also again my pleasure to reveal that the beauty of our road parks continues to be noticed and many favorable comments have been received at the office. DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS, GROUNDS AND EQUIP- MENT: All in excellent condition. SAND SPREADER: A 5-yard Sand Spreader was pur- chased by the town and"has proven invaluable in Snow and Ice Removal. ROAD SWEEPER: We are grateful to the voters for sanc- tioning the purchase of a new road sweeper. An 'Elgin, 4-yard capacity sweeper was purchased and the machine has performed satisfactorily, operating seven days a week, sweeping in all the villages. GARAGE ADDITION: It has been completed and has been a great help solving our storage problem. TRAFFIC SIGNS: 123 traffic signs were erected at the specification of the Board of Selectmen, while a total of 168 new street signs were erected in the various villages. TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGAM: "Walk On Green" painted on all pertinent crossings and in front of all Public, Schools in the Town. GRAND ISLAND BRIDGE: A complete repainting job is recommended and an article has been inserted in the war- ' rant for the consideration of the voters. MISCELLANEOUS: 'It is of interest to note that, during 1955 this department accepted 3,358 special requests, such as the placement of various protective signs, cutting back hedges and corner brush and many others all on file in the Highway Office. This work is in addition to the daily routine work. The Highway Department continues to show its desire to work "within departments" in an effort to increase efficiency and effect savings to the Town: 213 PARK DEPARTMENT: Supervised work at Joshua's Pond, Osterville. Davidson Park, Centerville: Built curb, truck soil. Veterans' Memorial Park, Hyannis: Built 700 feet of curbing; trucked in 2000 yards of fill; oiled roads lead- ing to Park and Parking Lot and marked traffic lanes after the Contractor had completed bituminous concrete surface.

PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT: The Sandy Neck Parking Lot project was undertaken. SELECTMEN'S DEPARTMENT: The West End Rotary Circle was completed and beauti- fied:; North Street Extension Road was built and the Free- dom Hall Parking Lot, Cotuit, was laid out and super- vised. It was gratifying to note in the 1954 Town Report that the Selectmen mentioned that the Highway Depart- ment had saved the town thousands of dollars in allowing its equipment to be used whenever possible outside the usual scope of highway work. In concluding this report, I wish to take this opportun- ity to express my appreciation for the cooperation and assistance that I have received from the Town Officials and their employees, Committees, and Citizen's of the Town of Barnstable, as well as my entire Highway Department per- sonnel,for their efforts in my behalf during the year.

NICKERSON 217 REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD February 17, 1956 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable During the past year, the Planning Board arranged a schedule of monthly meetings which were held throughout the year. At these meetings, the major portion of the time was taken up with discussions on applications then pending before the Board of Appeals. Whenever possible, recom, mendations were submitted to the Appeals Board for their information and guidance._ . At a Special Town Meeting held in the fall, the Plan- ning Board requested and received funds for conducting a Zoning Survey and Traffic Study. Both projects are cur- rently being carried out. As part of the Zoning Survey, a new zoning by-law is being presented at the coming Annual Town Meeting. The by-law has been worked out with the cooperation of interested civic groups, and while it covers the town as a unit, it is so designed as to respect the autonomy .of the individual villages. Because of time limitations and other factors beyond the control of the Planning Board, it will be impossible to present a recommendation on the Traffic Survey at this Town Meeting. However, it is hoped that some of the final recommendations may be put into effect before the sum- mer season. Respectfully .submitted, ROBERT E. O'NEIL, Chairman 218 Report of BUILDING INSPECTOR r January 19, 1956 Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I herewith submit my Annual Report for the .year ending December 31, 1955. The tables submitted show the growth of the various villages of the Town and the Town as a whole. An enforcement officer of the Zoning By-Laws, I was afforded the opportunity of explaining the problems of my office to Mr. Sidney N. Shurcliff, who, with the Planning Board, is making a study of our Zoning, and it is hoped -that the law may be simplified and clarified. I wish to thank all the Town Officials for their fine cooperation and help during my first year in office. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT D.

A .220 Report of TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The emergency work resulting from hurricanes "Carol" and "Edna" was continued during the early part of the year until completed. This includes the• removal of all storm damaged trees and broken limbs. After this emer- gency clean-up work, it was necessary to postpone any , further trimming until after the insect season. In the fall, a trimming crew worked in the villages of Centerville, Barnstable and Hyannis trimming the large shade trees bordering the streets. At the present time this work is about eighty per cent completed and the shade trees in the other villages of the Town will be trimmed during the coming year. This work is necessarily slow because some of the large shade trees suffered"extensive damage in these hurri- canes and could not be taken care of in the emergency clean-up. During the spring planting season, one hundred new shade trees were planted in various locations throughout the Town. These trees were planted mostly in requested locations. It is hoped in the future that this department will be able to do more planting in the new housing areas in the Town. The younger plantings throughout the Town were . fertilized, straightened and given all necessary attention in order to insure good future growth. The results of liquid fertilization on these new plantings has continued to show favorable results. When it was necessary to water the new trees during the hot summer months, the liquid fertilizer was distributed in the same operation, and this combination greatly helped these trees over a very hard period. During the past growing season, we had abundant rain fall which caused a very healthy growth on all of the shade 221 trees. This made it necessary to spend more time on side- walk and street, clearance. It is always necessary for periodic inspections of all highways in the Town during this trimming operation to insure proper street clearance in order to eliminate all possible traffic hazards. The tent caterpillar infestation during the past season was about normal All of the trees, which were infested with the insect, were sprayed during the hatching period. I feel that this insect will continue to be kept under control. The elm beetle in the large shade trees continues well under control. The past season was favorable for the control of this insect. All trees were sprayed at least two times during the spraying season. This spraying operation was started about the first of July and continued until the last of August. I think that the spraying done under the Dutch Elm Disease program had a tendency to decrease the de- gree of infestation by the elm beetle. The satin moth infestation continued to be a very minor pest and is well under control. This moth was only found in two locations this year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS, Tree Warden 222 Report- of THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following is the report of the various departments under the supervision of the Moth Superintendent: DUTCH ELM DISEASE The principal work of the Dutch Elm .Department started about April 15th. At this time two machines were put.to work applying a dormant spray on all of the elm trees adjoining the roadsides throughout the Town. During the past spraying season I had an airplane spray the tops -of the large elms, which insured a complete coverage for their better protection. After,the spraying was completed about June 15th, a crew was put to work taking samples froin all suspicious- trees. During this sample work it .is necessary, to climb each suspicious tree, as these samples are usually taken from the small wood at the extreme tops where the disease seems to strike first. Many samples were taken and sent to Greenfield for culture to determine if any Dutch Elm disease were present. After all the results were tabulated, six diseased trees were found in the Town, one in West Barnstable, four in Barnstable, and one -in• Hyannis. During the previous year no infected trees were found and at this time it. is impossible to say why this ' disease should. recur in such widespread area"§. This department is following the very latest methods in trying Jo curtail this disease. GYPSY MOTH CONTROL The gypsy moth infestation throughout, the ,Town is well under control. The moth traps were disbursed every quarter of a mile, as in previous years, with many samples being sent to Greenfield throughout the entire season for identification. The results of these samples showed only a very small number of gypsy moths being found in this Town. 223 Due to the'fact that no large infested areas were found, it was unnecessary this year to use-any airplane spraying for control work. The work in infested areas was taken care of with ground equipment. This program is carried on in all of the. Towns throughout the Cape and I am sure that any noticeable increase in this insect can be taken care of locally. Therefore, it is hoped that any major in- festation can be avoided. AERIAL SPRAYING The aerial spray program was carried out in the early part of the summer covering about the same areas as in previous years. The weather conditions immediately follow- ing the application of this spray were very unfavorable and I do not think the results this year were as good as they have been in the past. A portion of this area was re- sprayed about three weeks later and the results were very good. I think that this continued aerial spraying has a tendency to retard the Japanese beetle population. I feel that this year there was a noticeable improvement in some sections. Your superintendent is following the aerial spray work closely and it is hoped that some new insecticide, which is safe to use, will eliminate the. Japanese. beetle entirely. The State, with the assistance of the local depart- ments, sprayed the entire pine woodland within the Town for the control ,of the pine looper. The results of this spray- ing were very satisfactory and it is my opinion that the pine looper infestation can be brought under the same con- trol as the gypsy moth in the very near future. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS Moth Superintendent. 224 Report of FOREST FIRE WARDEN January 7, 1956 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: I herewith submit my sixth annual report which is f,or the year ending December 31, 1955.

CASH 226 Report of THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:- I hereby submit to you my report covering the period from June 17 to December 31, 1955. I am pleased to say that .considerable progress has been made in the conservation and, propagation mf shell- fish. Key areas have been closed and planted with the type of shellfish best suited therefor. CLAMS The supply of clams has increased somewhat this year. Steps have been taken to bring back the clam supply in Barnstable Harbor. The harbor has been closed to protect those clams that remain, and ten bushels were planted on Phillis Island as an experiment to determine whether the clams will adapt themselves to conditions in these. waters. The results thus far warrant a larger.planting in 1956. QUGHOGS - A total of 795 bushels of mixed quohogs were planted last summer. The following were planted for family use. 1331/2 bu. .................. Dowse's Flat, Osterville 1291/2 bu. .................. South Side Fish Hills, Hyannis 65 bu. .................. Freezer Flat, Barnstable For propagation purposes the following were planted: 1921/2 bu. .................. Off town wharf in Cotuit 2091/2 bu. .................. Centerville River 65 bu. .................. Phillis Island in Barnstable OYSTERS Bumps River has a good set, of seed oysters. This seed has set below .the low water mark, and therefore should survive. 227 ' As an experiment bleached scallop shells were put into Marstons Mills and Bumps River this summer for the pur- pose iof catching oyster seed. Results were good in both areas. SCALLOPS There were no adult scallops to speak of in 1955. At this time there is some seed on the South shore. RAZOR CLAMS The supply is about the same as in previous years. PEST CONTROL The town employed a man from June until November. We destroyed the following: 9216 Cockles 1793 Horseshoe Crabs 650 Sand Collars Respectfully submitted, REINO LAMPI, Shellfish Warden 228 Report of INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: The cattle count produced: 153 cows, 74 heifers, 9 bulls, 4 steer, 103 swine, 38 horses, 19 goats and 41 sheep. There were 45 dog bites during the year. These were quarantined and released at the end-of 14 days. I wish to'stress the need for caution in the use of rodent poisons. I recommend the use of Warfarin which is relatively harmless to humans and larger animals. It is also the most effective control I have found to date. The State Department. of Animal Disease Control con- thmes to vaccinate for Contagious Abortion free of charge. I urge all cattle owners to take advantage of this offer. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. CHASE Animal Inspector 229 Report of THE BOARD OF _HEALTH - The Board of.Health had a busy year with several new problems to face. The Polio situation was more acute on the Cape than at any previous year. The Salk Vaccine confusion led the Board of Health in conference with the School Physicians to the belief that further inoculations be postponed last Spring. It is only now in 1956, that the situation shows promise of clarifying itself. The latest information from the Commissioner of Public Health in Massachusetts still states that there is some inherent risk in the vaccine but apparently much less risk than under previous conditions of manufacture. It is the opinion of the physician for the Board of Health that the whole problem is not yet solved. Mr. Robert Chase, Mrs. Anna Caskin, Mr. George Churchill Have done excellent work in keeping this fast growing department in good operation. It is planned this coming Summer to hire temporarily a sanitarian to help with the restaurant examinations. The Dental Clinic has done good work as far as it has gone. It is the feeling of the Board of Health that if the Town wishes to establish a full time Dental Clinic, then this should be first made the object of a survey, both as to cost and as to the scope of work. The Board of Health feels that it should protect the public's health in the 'Tiown of Barnstable by the control of communicable diseases in all aspects, as prescribed by law. The present members of the Board of Health are in doubt as to whether they should embark on a costly program of rectifying non-communi- cable diseases without the full consent of the taxpayers. The,problem of trailers and single unit motel type of accommodations has given the Board of Health many un- happy moments. The Board of Health cannot in conscience condemn as unsanitary any building which fulfills all the requirements of sanitary codes. It seems to us, the Board of Health, that the Town of Barnstable should decide whether it wants such construction-and, if so, shall it be limited to certain zones or allow such units to be built any- where in the Town. Objectors to such type of construction have brought complaints to the Board of Health, putting us 230 in the position of acting as an Appeal Board, which, of course, is not our function. We feel that the Town should have clear-cut rules and regulations and not, depend upon certain departments to exercise their judgment especially when any such judgments are without the realm of their jurisdiction. We have had excellent cooperation from the other Health Agencies on the .Cape, for which we are duly. grateful. The following communicable diseases were reported to the Board of Health: Measles 208 Mumps 80 Chicken pox 28 Poliomyelitis 23 Whooping cough 21 German measles 6 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 5 Diphtheria 1 Scarlet Fever 1 Meningitis 1 There were 45 dog bites reported 1 REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR During the year of 1955, there were 607 Plumbing Per- mits issued, this being considerably more than in the pre- vious year. As many of the permits.were for Motels which have from 30 to 90 fixtures per building, many extra in- spections were made; also in the past year three new schools and the Registry of Deeds Building in Barnstable are under construction,which made necessary a great number of visits and interviews with the`Plumbers and Architects. In October of this year, a new State Law, Chapter 612, pertaining to the installation and safety devices on Tank- less water heaters wa's passed by the General Court and be- came effective October 28, 1955.. During the past year, I have traveled 15,875 miles in the course of inspections. Again I wish at this time to thank all the Town De- partments, also the plumbers for the cooperation I have received from them in the past year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E.

REPORT OF NURSING ASSOCIATION To the Barnstable Board of Health: The District Nursing Association reports a full schedule of activities during 1955.' Our routine work continued in much the same pattern as in recent years. Home visits were made sometimes daily, at other times once or twice weekly for bedside nursing and for health supervision for all age' groups. Our total number 'of visits in the town of Barn- stable during the past year is 3419. We held our annual. Eye clinic for the school children in January. This was held at the Cape Cod Hospital. We 233 have continued our Well-child conferences each month and have made home visits to all premature infants born in this town. Other clinics we cooperate with are the Chest clinic held under the supervision iof the Barnstable County Hos- pital, the Crippled Children's clinic sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the clinic recently established by the Mental Health department of the Barnstable County Health department. Our contact with all other health agencies in the town has been most pleasant, we.appreciate their cooperation and understanding of our every day problems.

County Health Department For The Year 1955 Two situations which were the cause of considerable discussion arose during the year 1955 both of these being concerned with poliomyelitis. In April when the Francis committee gave a favorable report on the Salk poliomyelitis vaccine a supply of this . vaccine was made available by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for the immunization of children in the first and second grades of our schools. One dose of the vaccine was administered to 1460 children in fourteen of the fifteen towns of the county. This constituted 70 per cent of the enrollment in We two grades. During the months of July through December, we ex- perienced a severe epidemic of poliomyelitis. Eighty-one eases of 'the disease were reported and sixty-five of these cases were residents of the County. Forty-three of the resi- dent cases have shown some degree of paralysis. _ Among those children who received.the poliomyelitis vaccine one case occurred, while eight cases occurred in un- vaccinated children of the same age group. When it became apparent that we would have an un- usually large number of cases of poliomyelitis, Dr. Julius Kelley, Superintendent of the Barnstable County Hospital, made arrangements to care for all possible cases of the - disease thus rendering exceptional service to the citizens of the county. The Barnstable County Chapter of the National Foundation also gave much assistance. In the follow up of cases for convalescent care we were fortunate to, be able to use the services of Mrs. Doauld Converse of Hyannis. Other activities of the Department have been carried out during the year about as usual. In October we were able to establish the Child Guidance Clinic on a one day a week basis. In spite of the increase in service we still have a waiting list for this clinic. 235 Personnel of the Department on December 31st, 1955 were as follows: F L.'Moore, M.D., C.M., M.P.H. Health Officer Mary Susich, M.A., M.PH Nurse Anne Halliday, MA., Social Worker `Alice Dalzell, Dental Hygienist George E. Crocker, Jr., Sanitary Inspector Ernest C.

L. MOORE, M.D., C.M., M.P.H. County Health Officer 2' 7 Report of THE TOWN COUNSEL To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for the year 1955. A year agio I reported that the legal work of the town over the past few years had greatly increased. This year the problems, the responsibilities and the time required for the successful handling of legal matters has increased enormously. At the April term of Superior Court sitting in Barn- stable the variance granted.by the Appeal Board to John J. Pendergast was reviewed in a de novo hearing. Your Town Counsel representing the Board of Appeal took the posi- tion-that in granting the variance"the Board acted in good faith within its statutory powers and that the decision was not arbitrary, inconsistent or unreasonable. Based on all the evidence the Court made this finding and affirmed the decision of the Board. I predicted last year that your Town Counsel and J. Blake Thaxter, Jr., Esq. with whom he was associated in the trial of the original Pendergast case before the Supreme Judicial Court might well be on opposite sides in a case involving completely reversed 'circumstances. This has come to pass. The appeal from the decision of the Superior Court' has been entered in the Supreme Judicial Court and it is expected that arguments will be heard some time this spring. The decision in the first Pendergast case constitutes what is known in the law as "a leading case" on the sub- ject of zoning. It is my opinion that the second case will also be noteworthy. The first opinion covered circumstances where a variance had been denied. The second case will cover circumstances where upon nearly but not quite the same facts a variance was granted. 238 The town is now involved in a case of great import- ance to the town in the Surrogates Court in New York. Purported heirs or next of kin to Mary Louise Kirkman are contesting the validity of the gift to the Town of Barn- stable of her residuary estate. The total sum of this gift amounts-to more than $1,000,000.00. It is to be used ac- cording to her will for the care of a portion of the Cotuit cemetery. The Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the town, the Attorney General of the State of New York and the executors of the will have all pre- sented briefs to the Court which are to the effect that this_ gift, is valid under the laws of both the Commonwealth and the State of New York. The position of all is that the Court in NeNv York should order the executors to distribute the funds to the Town of Barnstable immediately upon complete settlement of the estate. The Court's decision has not yet been rendered. Perhaps the trial involving the greatest public interest during the year was that of the Searoad Transport Co., Inc. vs. the Harbor Master, Chester A. Crosby, and one of his assistants, Kenneth J. Bradbury. In the early spring of this year the Harbor Master received knowledge of the possi- bility of the formation of- a corporation for the purpose of carrying freight, from Hyannis harbor to Nantucket. Short- ly thereafter he was given details as to the size of the boat planned to be built ftor this purpose and of the location of the proposed site for docking, loading and unloading. The vessel was to be about sixty-five feet in length and the facilities were to be located on a small cove within Hyan- nis Inner Harbor north of the town bulkhead. This small area consisting of about 6600 square yards had been pre- viously used as a place for the mooring of small boats con- sisting mostly of pleasure or fishing craft and for the re- pairing and servicing of the same. The remainder of. the Inner Harbor consisting of about 44,000 square yards had been cleared of all but a very few moorings so that- the navigation and docking of all kinds of vessels, both large commercial craft and others, could be made safe and con- venient. The Harbor Master considered these facts and, sought counsel as to the propriety and legality of making rules, orders or regulations to retain the character of the small area in the interests of safe navigation and mooring. He was given an opinion that his authority under the law included the duty to make such rules, orders or regulations 239 i J if they were reasonable and were in the interests of the general public good. Oral orders were first made in the late spring or early summer and these were later incorpor- ated in a written regulation printed and published in the last part of August. In substance the Searoad corporation in this case contested in the Superior Court the Harbor Master's authority under the law and the validity of any such regulation. A master was appointed to hear the evi- dence and find the facts. There was a long trial before the master which concluded on October 21, 1955. The master's draft report was mailed to counsel on December 1, 1955 and his findings are wholly and com- pletely in favor of the legality and the reasonableness of the acts of the Harbor Master. Inasmuch as there were accusations made in the Bill of Complaint and statements made in the trial of the case which question ,the character, integrity, impartiality and giood'faith of two well known officials of the town who are charged with responsibilities of great importance to the town's people, to our summer residents and summer visitors, all who derive such great pleasure and benefit from the use of our excellent harbors;I feel it my duty to quote some of the findings of the master, who heard all of the testimony in the case. These are quoted as follows: 6. -I find as a fact that the Plaintiff is engaged in carry- ing freight and vehicles between Hyannis and Nan- tucket and that the Plaintiff proposes to extend its business from Maine to New York and if the busi- ness will warrant conduct, a second dredge slip at the premises at 110 Ocean Street, Hyannis, and operate two or more vessels from the site. 9. I find as a fact that the Plaintiff's dredge slip is located approximately 125 feet inside the restricted area in Hyannis Harbor. 10. I find that it is a fact that the Plaintiff have request- ed permission from the Harbormaster to enter the re- stricted area with the vessel, Searoad, and that the Harbormaster has denied permission, and such denial was reasonable. 14. I find as a fact that the Assistant Harbormaster, Ken- neth Bradbury, in no way instigated the regulation 240 set forth in Paragraph 6 of the Plaintiff's bill of complaint, took no part in the discussion prior to the formulation of the regulation itself, has not en- deavored or attempted to enforce the regulation, either against the Plaintiff or anyone else; that to the date of the hearing in this case the Respondent, Kenneth Bradbury, has suffered no injury or damage in connection with his business which he operates on Hyannis Harbor, about opposite the dredge slip of the Plaintiff. 15. I find as a fact that Kenneth Bradbury, as Assistant Harbormaster for the Town of Barnstable, or in- dividually, has done nothing to hinder, delay or pro- hibit the Plaintiff from carrying out its business. 18. I find as a fact that the restricted area of Hyannis Harbor has never been used by large commercial vessels or vessels larger than the Plaintiff's vessel, Searoad. 19. 1 find as a fact that the regulation made by the Harbormaster of the Town of Barnstable, effective August 25, 1955, as set forth in Paragraph 6 of the Plaintiff's bill of complaint, is reasonable and neces- sary for the safety of navigation in that portion of Hyannis Harbor described in the regulation, and that the regulation was made by the Harbormaster after careful study and consideration of-all of the factors involved, the characteristics of this particular area, dangers from hurricane damage, and the general safety of marine traffic particularly by small boats in the restricted area. I have been greatly concerned with the importance of the issues in this case. The future cannot help but bring an increased use of our harbors for the navigation of both commercial and pleasure crafts. This is especially so during the summer months. We must encourage new business en- terprise and provide for the expansion of both pleasure and commercial navigation. I believe this is entirely possible. During the year one sidewalk injury case was settled for a small sum of money. There have been five suits claim- ing injuries from alleged sidewalk defects brought during the .year against the town. Two suits have been brought 241 for land damages and there have been two new appeals brought in the Superior Court arising from decisions of the Board of Appeals. Another case brought in the preceding year has not been reached for trial. These cases are all pending together with cases reported in the previous years' reports. The takings of land by eminent doman for school pur- poses have been extensive. The town has been involved in two land registration cases, one of which was settled. The other is pending. There has been a tremendous amount of time devoted to problems arising in the making of contracts for the building of the new schools. This involves the spending`and the contracting for the spending of large sums of money. The process of securing valid bids has been greatly in- creased by changes in state laws, even to the point where your town counsel in several instances has been required to give opinions contrary to those of other authorities. Fortunately these opinions have stood the test. There is as I have reported to you before much that is not included here but has occurred during the past year. It has for a number of years been impossible for even my office to keep track of the time spent on the town's legal work. All of the town's officers, committee, boards, com- missions and employees continue to be very pleasant to work with and most helpful in all respects. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH E. WILSON, Town Counsel 242 Report of BARNSTABLE'HOUSING AUTHORITY To: The Selectmen .of the' Town of Barnstable The Housing Authority has continued operating its permanent 40 house P'roject'200-1 at Bearse's Way for the, year 1955. We feel our biggest accomplishment this past year was the exterior painting of all houses in the project. An excel- lent painting job was done and we believe it has greatly improved the appearance of all houses. We hope to have interior painting done in all houses this coming year. Our greatest difficulty in. 1955 was with hot water heaters. Our intention for the early part of 1956. is to re- place all oil fired water heaters with electric ones. We installed several cesspool overflows which correct a great problem we had with overflowing cesspools. During-1955 the Project has been filled most of the time with vacancies toccuring for only a short period. Our rent collections have been very good, and we believe they will continue to be so. The Authority made payment to the Town of Barn- stable in lieu of taxes for the year 1955 the sum of $1440.00. As, of December 31, 1955, there were 39 tenants at Project 200-1, leaving one vacancy. The Admission and Con-- tinued Occupancy Limits for the Project are $3650.00 and $3900.00 respectively for families with less than three minor dependants, and $3900.00 and $4300.00 respectively for families with three or more minor dependants. The average monthly rent for the project was $41.25. Respectfully submitted, Stephen B. 0-'Brien, Chairman E. Joslin Whitney, Secretary Frederick T. Jerauld, Treasurer Thomas Milne, Ass't.

Gregory, Vice=Chairman 243 f - 1955 Report of the PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION At the Annual Town Meeting of 1955, the sum of $22,865 was appropriated for recreation in the Town of Barnstable. Through extensive use of our various proper- ties, a comprehensive schedule of varied programs, financial and advisory assistance to other recreational.groups, this Commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in all the villages of the town. The buildings, beaches, and areas within our jurisdiction were frequently inspected. During the winter months, the following organized athletic leagues were in operation: Sport Age Group Number Teams Volleyball Men 8 Basketball Sr. Boys 6 Basketball Jr. Boys 8 Basketball Girls 7 Basketball Men 4 Table Tennis Men 4 In addition, recreational activities of all types were conducted in the villages. Financial assistance was given the Barnstable Little League, the Cotuit Baseball team, and tb e-Barnstable Townies A. A. Many children and adults took advantage of our arts and crafts program at the Hyannis Center, where they learned the technigiies of oil painting, ceramics, -woodwork, jewelry work, painting and decorating trays and other household articles. Our square dance program for children has been ex- tremely popular. During the summer, outdoor dances for children were held in Hyannis, and during the fall and win- 244 ter they were conducted at the high school gym and Legion Hall•`with approximately 400 children in attendance. In addition, square dance instruction was conducted in Cotuit, Marstons Mills, and Barnstable. Swimming and life saving instructions were conducted at Hathaway's Pond, Joshua's Pond, Lewis Bay Beach, Veterans' Memorial Park, Craigville, and Ropes Beach. Great improvements were made at West Barnstable Town Beach and Bodfish Park, where a new parking area and bathhouse were constructed; and at Joshua's Pond where a. new parking area was made and the bank restored. During the year the William A. Baldwin Playground area in Hyannis was given to the Town by the Hyannis Playground Society. This commission envisions great recre- ational possibilities for, this area which now contains the Little League Field. We believe that serious consideration should be-given to the erection of a modern recreation building on this'site. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments, the churches, and civic organizations for their wholehearted cooperation during the past year.

I wish to submit the following report of the Depart- ment of Veterans' Services. This is the eighth Annual Re- .poit, the third under my supervision. Our aim is still to aid the veteran in the best, way possible, in Rehabilitation, and adjustment to meet the problems of civilian life. There are several phases of Veterans' Services that are taken care of through this department, many .of which do not mean expenditure of money to the veteran or his de- pendents from this office. It does mean, however, that.by investigation contacts and correspondence the veteran or his dependents are aided to secure pensions, hospitalization, loans, insurance, corrections of official papers of many kinds which aids them in securing the necessary means of support. HOSPITALIZATION Under this program any veteran with an Honorable discharge and over 90 days of service, ten of which was during the war period, has the right to apply. He must be examined by a local doctor who'will fill out V. A. Form 10-P-10 which may be .obtained from this office. In case of emergency the doctor will contact the V. A. Hospital and the veteran- will be admitted for treatment. Those _having Service-connected Disabilities are given first con- sideration. Also under the Hospitalization program comes Social Service which covers the rehabilitation of World War 1, II and Korean veterans. This service we are trying to en- 246 courage in the- V. A. program to aid the veteran in his home and surroundings, thus saving hospitalization. EDUCATION The time has been extended to three years for Korean veterans from date of discharge to apply for.Education or On the Job Training. World War II veterans have no further schooling or training advantages, unless they,were recalled for Korean service, or have disabilities. GENERAL INFORMATION The final date of .Korean-service was established by Congress as January 31, 1955. This means those enlisting after that date are considered in Peace time service and - are not eligible for school or other G.I. Rights, unless having service disabilities. Finally, I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appre- ciation to the Selectmen, Town Officials and my co-workers who have been very cooperative in giving information and help with various veterans' prioblems during the past year. My thanks is also extended to the various Veterans' Agen- cies and Organizations who have cooperated with inform- ation and explanations regarding the problems of the veteran. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MILNE Director and Agent 247 Report of THE PARK COMMISSION At the Annual Town Meeting the sum of $9,075.00 was appropriated for the Park Commission. Because of the damage caused by the 1954 hurricane to the raft and the increased attendance at Veterans Me- morial Park, it was necessary to furnish another life guard for which an additional sum of $860.00 was spent. Ralph P. Bismore Memorial Park Ocean Street Because of the continuing need for docking facilities, the Commission recommends the construction iof three more finger piers. This will bring the total to twelve piers taking care of twenty-four boats. Accordingly, we have inserted an Article in the Warrant for the sum of $3,500.00. We plan to install water and electrical outlets for the finger piers, the cost of which is included in our budget. The revenue to the Town in 1955 for dockage fees amounted to $2,295.45, which was remitted to the Town Treasurer for credit to the General Fund. This Park continues to be a very popular place to visitors as well as townspeople. Veterans' Memorial Park Ocean Street We have built a parking area;adjacent to the new sea- wall, installed curbing, lights and park benches have been purchased and will be installed this spring. The entire area was fenced with a post and split rail fence. This Park showed an increased usage of over�300% from the preceding year which is the reason it became necessary for an additional life guard, as noted above. Sunday, August 20th, showed the highest daily attendance with 362 people on the beach at once. The week ending July 9th,showed the highest weekly attendance of 448 people. Because of the heavy attendance anticipated this com- ing year, it is the intention of the Commission to require stickers for this area by the residents of the Town with a parking fee being charged to all others. During the summer the largest swimming classes- and Red Cross Safety Program was conducted to date in cooper- ation with'the Playground and Recreation Commission. 248 To further our program of improvement requires the paving and curbing of existing roads and sidewalks and the installation of additional lights. We have inserted an Arti- cle in the Warrant for $8,800.00 for the cost of these im- provements. Coddington Park, Centerville The Park was rebuilt with new top soil, flower bed, curbing, and rustic fence with rambler roses. Elizabeth Lowell Park, Cotuit The ball field here continues to be the most popular in the Town with a good attendance to the games played here by the Cotuit Athletic Association. An Article has been placed in the Warrant by the Co- tuit Athletic Association for a new back stop, repairs to the grandstand, fencing and improvements to the ,water system. Soldiers Square, Centerville Due to the loss of the flag pole here in the 1955 hurri- cane, we have included the cost of a new one in our budget. In addition the following areas were maintained as re- quired and a number,of improvements will be made in 1956: Ridgewood Park Hyannis Park Square Hyannis Memorial Park Centerville Wequaquet Lake Park Centerville Chester Park Centerville Memorial Park Osterville World, War I Park Osterville Cotuit Memorial Park Cotuit Lovell's Pond Park Santuit Crocker Park West Barnstable Ball Field West Barnstable John Jenkins Wildlife Reservation West Barnstable Due to the infestation of the Japanese beetle, the Milky Spore Control was used in various Parks with great suc- cess. The Commission plans to continue its use this year. At this time the Park Commission wishes to thank the Highway Department and Board of Health for their co- operation, and all other Town Departments, Civic, and ' Community Organizations for their cooperation and support this past year. FRANK C. HINCKS,• JR., Chairman CHARLES N. SAVERY WARREN W. COOK 249 REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT January 12, 1956 To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare Barnstable, Massachusetts I submit, herewith, the report of the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1955. This past year, has been no exception with regard to changes in the administration of Public Assistance. One never knows from day to day what changes to expect, in the rules and regulations, brought about by opinions of the Attorney General, Supreme Court Decisions or new Laws passed by the Legislature. These changes always increase the expenditures; such increases in expenditures have to be paid from funds appropriated in budgets that did not anticipate the increases. We were very fortunate to be able to get through the year without asking for additional funds at a Special Town Meeting. In June of 1954 we received notices that we would not be reimbursed for money paid to doctors for surgery at the Cape Cod Hospital, this ruling to be effective July 1, 1954. The dissatisfied medical profession brought pressure to bear on the right point and the ruling was changed July 1, 1955 to include payment for surgery at the Cape Cod Hospital, as well as the payment for Board and Care and ancillary services and the payment for doctors' visits in the hospital for other than surgery cases. This sent our medical expendi- ture skyrocketing, as one can well imagine, when you con- sider that the older people grow the need for medical at- tention is greater. During the year, Boarding Home rates were increased and the rules with regard to Licensed Nursing Homes were broadened. The per diem rate for hospitals established by the Commissioner of Administration for the Common- wealth set the rate at some of the hospitals, that we have to place recipients in, as high as $21.74 per day; Tewksbury State Hospital increased from $23.65 per week to $24.87 per 250' week, while the rate at the Cape Cod Hospital remained at $14.00 per day. What the rates at these hospitals will be after the new schedule comes out the latter- part of February is problematical at this time. Chapter 728 of the Acts of 1955 made mandatory an allowance in the budget;effective January 1, 1956, of $2.50; this amount being known as Travel Allowance. Recipients in Licensed Nursing Homes, Licensed Chronic Hospitals or Public Medical Institutions are not. eligible for Travel Allowance while patients in such institutions. There were many recipients whose rents were in- creased; in some cases, way above the ceiling allowed by the State for reimbursement. Approval for such increases have to come from the state level. The personnel of the Department for 1955 consisted of the following: Jan. 1, 1955 Dec. 31, 1955 Agent 1 1 Social Workers 2 3 Senior Clerk 1 I Junior Clerks 3 3 GENERAL RELIEF U� o" e s cd N O 51 78 109 160 100 60 144 $37,742.40 Other Towns, Administrative 8,222.41 Total Paid $45,964.81 INFIRMARY (Lombard Home) Women Men Inmates at the Home, 1/1/55 7 5 Inmates Admitted during the year 1 6 Inmates Discharged during the year 3 7 Inmates at the Home, 12/31/55 5 4 Inmates Days in Home (Total)--3,332 Cost per inmate day—$3.94 251 . 11 EXPENDITURES AT THE INFIRMARY Salaries (Supt, and Matron) $2,000.00 Shoes and clothing 307.70 Medical 398.47 Hay and Grain 663.01 Fuel 1,162.62 Electric Lights 300.32 Telephone 214.49 Repairs and Building 2,783.74 Food 4,333.83 Miscellaneous 393.11 Appliances and Furnishings 580.66 $13,137.95 General Relief 45,964.81 $59,102.76 Reimbursements by State, Other Towns and Individuals (not useable funds) 10,646.88 NET COST TO TOWN $48,455.88 At the Lombard Home, the main building and barns had to be painted outside and some repairs to the barn roof. This year the underpinning of the main dining room will have to be replaced due to termites. A few years ago we gave the underpinning. a treatment to kill off the tem- ites; they have reappeared this year and the building will have to have another treatment to exterminate them.

Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. Although we ended the year with a much smaller case load than we had as of Jan- 252 uary 1st, 1955, the monthly expenditures were at their lowest during the, middle part of the year. The last few months of the year showed a tremendous gain in medical and hospitalization expenditures. NET COST OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE TO ,THE TOWN $62,595.29 AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN cd — o u Nam' OU cd� Cd c3 N N.:y OU N O td U N O 75 O O cd, O N U C L Cd E �U U,-r G P W 32 122 17 49 22 27 99- $45,845.10 Cost of Administration 4,928.75 Total paid $50,773.85 U. S. Grants and U. S. Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. During the summer months children in the Aid to Dependent Children Category, of a workable age, found work and their contribution lessened the expenditures in the budgets to their families. In the fall, when the children return to school, the resources are lessen- ed and the fact that the child is in a higher age bracket in- creases the budgets each year.

Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. 253 Disability Assistance is an ever growing category of of assistance, and once a person is eligible for total dis- ability they continue on our rolls as long as they live in the Town. This category of assistance deals mostly with medical treatment, and 'hospitalization with very few cases living in their own homes. NET COST OF DISABILITY ASSISTANCE TO THE TOWN $9,118.77 RECOVERIES During the year recoveries were made in the following categories: Old Age Assistance $10,121.82 Refunds 365.77 $10,487.59 General Relief 1,041.89 Infirmary 106.50 Disability Assistance Refunds 193.93 TOTAL $11,829.91 The Department ended the year with the following, balances returned to Excess and Deficiency Fund: Old Age Assistance $12,183.62 Aid to Dependent Children 2,602.43 Disability Assistance 96.49 General Relief $3,947.24 (McGrotty Fund) 341.89 4,289.13 TOTAL $19,171.67 I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the Honor- able Board of Selectmen, Town Officials and Heads of De- partments, Superintendent and Matron of the Infirmary, members of the staff of this Department and to the Police Department and private agencies and individuals for their cooperation and assistance during the year. Respectively submitted, JOHN J. LEVINE, SR. Agent 254 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS January 5, 1956 Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the annual report with respect to the activities of the Board of Appeals during 1955. During the year, a total of thirty-eight -applications and appeals were heard and decided by the Board. Of this number, seventeen were granted; thirteen of the seventeen with conditions or restrictions qualifying the variance or restricting them in the interest of conforming to the gen- eral purposes of the zoning law. Twenty-one applications or appeals were denied, in most cases because a special hard- ship was not shown by the petitioner in the use of the par- ticular land affected by the zoning regulation; a few ap- plications or appeals were denied simply as opposed to the intent and purpose of the zoning law. All applications and appeals were heard within the calendar year. A few appli- cations, which might otherwise have been filled, were with- held because of the contemplated survey of the zoning by- laws with respect, to the Town as a whole. It is the feeling of the members of the Board that the adoption of a comprehensive plan would do much to clarify possible misunderstandings which have arisen with respect to the operation of zoning in the various villages. In general, it may be said that as time goes on, the purposes and the beneficial effects of well-considered zon- ing are being more fully appreciated by the residents of the Town. JOSEPH H. BEECHER, Chairman GEORGE H. MELLEN, JR. ROWLEY J. BROCKWAY 255 THE JOHN JENKINS WILDLIFE RESERVATION This year has seen growth and beauty increasing in the Reservation. We feel sure that the transplanted Sassafras has established itself. Although a variety of ferns are native to the field, we are anxious to increase the varieties and so have put in the Christmas and Ostrich ferns as well as Maidenhair and Spleenwort, and hope to introduce others in the Spring; also some promised clumps of May-apple. The very heavy work of opening up paths and burning brush has been accomplished and there are certain weeks of the ,year when it is a surprise and pleasure to walk through the paths. Another ,year -,ve can, perhaps, list the best time to see certain of our rarer plants—the carpet of Anemone just before Memorial Day, a lovely group of native Columbine early in June, and from the end of June until about the tenth of July, a fairyland ,of Meadow Rue, all the way from two to seven feet high. There is also a most welcome in- crease in the Cardinal flower during late August and early September. But we are still disappointed in our successive plant- ings of Gentian. Our need now is not for heavy winter work, clearing and burning, but rather for an established routine of per- haps a half day a month when certain members of the com- mittee could meet with the workers of the Park Depart- ment to do the light clearing that our usual damp Springs make necessary.

The-Airport Manager's report brings-this out. The members of the Commission have spent a great deal of their time this past year working towards the Fed-. eral Aid to Airports Program. The untiring efforts of our Representatives on Beacon Hill.and in Washington together with lour local personnel have certainly borne fruit as our airport will be eligible fora vast amount of money under this program. The Commission_have prepared a three year expansion program for the airport which includes a new administration building and extension of our NE-SW run- way. This program will be presented to the 1956 Town Meeting. We have been concentrating this year on giving the best of service to our customers, and the many letters of praise of our operation and personnel have been gratifying to us. Of the projects undertaken this year ie. the paving of the parking area, purchasing of a new communication radio, truck, jeep, rotary field mower, replacing of the field light control cable and system, and the moving of the radio beacon from the airport to Yarmouth; the latter has prob- ably been the most helpful as many planes were able to ,land, which otherwise could not have, due to inclement weather. We have, however, come to realize that our light- ing cables are failing and we only hope that they will hold up until the "Federal Aid Program" gets started, as high intensity lights are planned in this program. Many residents of the Town have felt that the airport should receive County Aid in its annual operating deficit. The Commission, therefore, met with the County Commis- sioners, and an article was placed in the Massachusetts General Court, for such aid. However, it was voted down in 257 down in Committee as every other town on the Cape with the exception of Yarmouth, was opposed to any form of County Aid. , Travel by air is growing rapidly. Your Commission '+l. +L... + +h + t. -1L111, I.1,e assistance of many others wants o e Sure that the Barnstable Municipal Airport is in a position to handle the increased traffic load which is becoming greater, each year. Respectfully, submitted, Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission ARTHUR F. CLARKE, Chairman BENJAMIN W. ATWOOD H. HEYWORTH BACKUS LOUIS R. ADAMS ` JAMES C.

Linehan, Osterville Bruce K. Jerauld, Barnstable Alfred C. Knight, Cotuit R. Ralph Horne, Hyannis Bernice Chadwick, Osterville At the first meeting of this committee Bruce K. Jerauld of Barnstable was chosen chairman and Miss Bernice Chad- wick of Osterville, secretary. At this first meeting it was de- cided to send a questionnaire to the head of each town department requesting certain _information regarding the employees of that department. (A sample of this question- naire is attached to this report.) The committee held eight meetings, and after the re- turn of the questionnaires, the information contained there- in was tabulated and carefully reviewed. In making recommendations the committee «vishes to stress the fact that these recommendations should not be construed as a criticism of any department. The situation as it now stands is the result of the town growing up through the years, and -we feel that the time has now come for the town to set up definite standards for its employees. Your committee feels that it does not have the author- ity under the vote of the last annual town meeting to set up a definite scale now, and also that it has neither the ex- perience or the necessary skill to do so. As a result of our survey we find many inconsistencies in job classifications and the pay for similar jobs, varying rules for sick leave, vacations, and length of work week. The lack of a standardized plan for pay_ increases, sick leave, and vacations has a detrimental effect on the morale of the town employees. 261 Your committee recommends that a new salary commit- tee be appointed, with not more than five members, none • of whom shall be an employee of the town, and that they be authorized to secure the services of an impartia.i expert in the field of job evaluation and-salary and wage schedules. We believe that such a survey, together with the necessary printing costs, can be made for Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) and would be ready for submission to the next annual town meeting. The advantages of such a plan would be 1. For the Town as a whole: (a) A definite pay structure -(b) A definite plan for granting pay increases (c) People will know what they can expect. 2. For Department Heads and Officials (a) Better preparation and planning of budgets (b) Freedom from pressure for increases 3. For Town Employees: (a) They will know just where they stand (b) Financially they will know just what to expect and can have as much assurance as is possible that they are being paid in proper relation to d other town personnel and comparable to those outside the town service. Such a plan would recommend the establishment of an unpaid personnel board or salary committee to interpret and operate a salary administration plan. Such plans are already in operation in various towns of the Commonwealth. Such a board should have reasonable power to act, other- wise such a plan may be too rigid and might hamper the various department heads and injure the services of the Town. Such-a board would represent both the taxpayers and the employees of the town, and should be composed of impartial citizens )of wide experience, who will take into consideration all the various viewpoints, interests, and mat- ters that concern our taxpayers as well as our employees.

Knight WHEREAS, death removed from our midst on April 27, 1955, Melvin C. Knight, who so ably served as superin- tendent of schools of the Town of Barnstable for sixteen years, to which position he was elected in recognition of his educational background, experience, and work well done - as principal of Barnstable High School, causing him to be remembered by many as principal, as well as superinten- dent; and WHEREAS, the pressing problem of providing •ade- quate school facilities for an increasing school population occurred during the period of his superintendency when his vision, knowledge, counsel, and' experience were of such inestimable value; and WHEREAS, the responsibilities .of the expanding building pro gram,.superimposed upon the full-time demands of a superintendency, with the multiplicity of meetings and the myriad of details, were accepted by him uncomplain- ingly, and he gave himself unsparingly—heart and soul— and he labored untiringly; and WHEREAS, he was ever one to "serve his country in a righteous cause", in the Armed Forces and through many communities affiliations and activities, and to share the wider associations among schoolmen, tradesmen, and fellow citizens; and WHEREAS, he was one of inclusive interests—the chil- dren being taught; the .faculty doing the teaching; the materials being used; the conditions under which the teach- ing was taking place; and the 'citizens providing the sup- port—working for and with all involved, with faithfulness and fairness; and 267 1 WHEREAS, in addition to the improvements and alter- ations to school buildings made during his term of office, the new Hyannis Elementary School and the new Center- ville Elementary School were projected, planned, and erected; and projections and preparations for the new high school and the new Cotuit and Barnstable-West Barnstable schools were made, necessitating a great deal of study of plans, sites, and public support, with the .problems of the latter three schools all being upon his shoulders at one time—a burden perhaps too heavy for one to bear, but ac- cepted by him "undaunted and unafraid": BE IT THEREFOR RESOLVED, that the Town of Barnstable School Committee spread upon its records and include in the next Annual School Report lasting gratitude to one who put service above self, having at heart the well- being of our children and the welfare of the schools and community now and in the years to *come; and that the Committee extend heartfelt sympathy to his family. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, at the appropriate occasion and upon recommendation of the School Com- mittee because of their close association with him, there be designated in one of the schools yet uncompleted, for which he labored in the town he liked and for the work he loved, a memorial to bear the name of Melvin C. Knight so "Though a good life hath but a few days, yet a good name endureth forever." P. GORDON NELSON, Chairman JEAN G. HINKLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON OARL F. SCHULTZ JOHN E. MARTIN, JR. Barnstable School Committee. 268 Retirement MRS. MAGDALENE L. CHASE Mrs. Magdalene L. Chase, a teacher in the Barnstable Public Schools for more than 32 years, retired on December 31, 1955. Mrs. Chase started her teaching career in the local public schools in September 1923, in the Cotuit School. Later she taught in the Hyannis Training School, the Iyanough School, the Marstons Mills School, and the South Street School. At the time of her retirement she was a spe- cial teacher aiding the, physically handicapped and other pupils in need of special attention. She worked unselfishly and untiringly in behalf of the pupils under her jurisdiction and will always be remem- bered as one who loved children and loved her work. Appreciation of her long and faithful service to the Barnstable Public Schools is herewith recorded and, best wishes extended for many happy years of retirement. In Memoriam - FREDERICK C. FRANKS Frederick C. Franks, an employee of the Barnstable -Public Schools since 1949, died on January 9, 1956 in his seventy-fifth year. He served faithfully as custodian in the Centerville and Hyannis Elementary Schools, and was highly respected by his associates in the Barnstable Public Schools. It is with deep regret that we record his passing. 269 Report of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The School Committee takes pleasure in presenting its annual report for the year 1955. This past ,year has been an extremely busy one for your School Committee with forty-seven regular and special meetings having been held. Sub-committees have also met in many special sessions pertaining to details of the new school buildings. We are happy to be able to report that the three new schools.which were voted at the last two Town Meetings are now under construction. The contract for the largest project, the new Barnstable High School, was signed last August, but only after being put out for bid on two separate occasions. Work began at the site on September first and we are looking forward to its completion in the Spring of 1957. Construction on the new Cotuit and the Barnstable- West Barnstable Consolidated Elementary Schools was be- gun in November. We are hoping these schools will be in use before the end of the next school year. The Commit- tee feels that these new schools will be of excellent con- struction and design with the best interests of future growth and need, in mind—buildings which the towns- people of Barnstable may well be proud. The School Department as well as the Committee were greatly saddened by the untimely death of our Suprintend- ent of Schools, Melvin C. Knight, on April 27, 1955. His passing caused a vacancy in our school department which presented a grave responsibility for your committee to fill. After receiving and screening thirty-one applications for the position, your committee was happy to choose Harvard H. Broadbent of our own faculty. We feel confident that our choice was a wise one. Although much time has been spent on the physical 270 aspect of our educational system, the regular business of the School Committee has not been neglected. A detailed study of the salary schedule of the teaching personnel has been undertaken. After careful consideration the Barn- stable teachers' salaries have been increased commensurate with those of other Cape towns. In order to maintain a good teaching staff and also to attract teachers of high qualifica- tions the committee believes this salary increase to be of primary importance. Several other innovations and changes have been in- stituted this year caused primarily by the increasing school 'enrollment. Another bus route on the south side of town had to be added making thirteen routes in all. Some of the children from the Hyannis Elementary School have been transferred to Centerville to relieve the congestion in Hy- annis, and a portion of the library at the high school was made into'a classroom in order to provide additional space- there. Again at this time the School Committee wishes to acknowledge its deep-appreciation to the School Depart- ment personnel and to all organizations and individuals who have contributed to the successful operation of our -school system. Respectfully submitted, P. GORDON NELSON, Chairman JEAN G. HINKLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON CARL F. SCHULTZ JOHN E. MARTIN, JR. 271 Report of the Superintendent of Schools The schools of the nation are confronted at the present time with varied and serious problems. The Barnstable Pub- lic Schools have not escaped many of these problems com- mon to all school systems. As we review the past year, how- ever, we are happy to report that the Town of Barnstable has dealt with its school problems in a realistic and forth- right manner. The cooperation of the School Committee, citizens of the Town, and School Department personnel has been out- standing—a situation which augurs well for the future of the Barnstable Public Schools. An examination of the Report of the School Committee reveals a total of 47 meetings held during the past year. Many of these meetings, often of long duration, were neces- sitated by the school _building program now underway. Members of the School Committee have worked unselfishly and untiringly in an effort to provide the Town with school buildings which will solve the problem of over-crowding, and buildings which will be a credit to the Town. The citizens of the Town have also been most coopera- tive in providing funds in order that the ever-increasing school population might be properly housed. On two separate occasions during the past year, the voters at Spe- cial Town Meetings unanimously voted additional funds for the new high school and Barnstable-West Barnstable School. Such unanimity in providing funds for our new schools is greatly appreciated. Although fine new buildings are an asset to any school system, they do not automatically guarantee good educa- tibn. Just as important, and probably more important, is the quality of instruction which takes place in the school build- ings. Bearing this fact in mind, a new Salary Schedule was approved by the School Committee. This new schedule . makes it possible for a teacher with a Bachelor's degree to earn up to $5,200. after twelve years' teaching. Those with Master's degrees may attain a maximum of $5,500. This 272 new schedule should place the Town in a more favorable position to attract capable new-teachers to its school system as well as retain competent members of the present staff. Although much time has been spent on a building pro- gram, the training and development of bioys and girls in the schools of the Town has received due attention. Your perusal of the reports of administrators and supervisors in- cluded in this School Report will reveal many of the details of our educational program. For example, you will discover that 37% of the mem- bers of the Barnstable High School Class of June, 1956, are continuing their education; that plans are'being formulated for establishing three additional trade school courses in our new High School; that 168 adults were enrolled in our Evening School at the close of the fall term; that 165 elementary school pupils are taking instrumental music les- sons—an increase of almost 100%; that 298 first and second grade pupils were innoculated with Salk Polio Vaccine; as well as many other interesting facts concerning your schools. Although reference is made elsewhere to the passing of the late Melvin C. Knight, Superintendent of Barnstable Public Schools for 16 years, it seems only fitting that a word of tribute be paid by his successor to the man who so ably guided our school system for so many years. In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere ap- preciation to the School Committee, School Department per- sonnel, citizens, parents and pupils, and to the numerous organizations who have cooperated and assisted in the suc- cessful operation of our ,schools during the past year. Respectfully submitted, HARVARD H. BROADBENT 273 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Hazel Knight ELEMENTARZ' SCHOOLS AT WORK This report attempts to present a description of hdw the elementary schools of Barnstable are handling certain educational problems. Specific schools and teachers are not always identified by name. In some cases practices of sev- eral schools-are combined in a summary statement. In other cases only a very brief account is set down because of space limitations. We are reporting about a variety of activ- ities because not all schools or teachers reported on the same problems. Perhaps, then, the most important use,of this report is to reveal a general picture of how the teachers, pupils, and parents are working together in the elementary schools of your town. TEACHERS AT WORK Teachers Take Courses Our new schools,' our increasing enrollment at all levels, the changes in curriculum content, the effects of radio and television on pupils and teachers are indications of progress. A teacher today finds a need to inspect her philosophy, to evaluate-her methods, and to adjust her emotional outlook. Much of this can be done by returning to school: Many .of our teachers, by taking courses, reflect this trend toward widening of educational backgrounds. Teachers Respond To and Share Learning Opportunities The Barnstable School Department provides additional specific learning opportunities for its teachers. Orientation of New Teachers We realize that teachers who are' teaching for the first time in our schools are faced with problems that are peculiar to this situation. Pre-school conferences are held 274 before school begins to provide each teacher with samples of subject matter tools, the courses of study, program guides, local building schedules, and other similar materials. Conferences are also held during the early weeks of school to assist in the orientation of new teachers. In Service Programs Our in-service program varies in content and organiza- tion having as its common purposes to supplement previous educational experiences, to solve problems of the local situ- ation, and thus fit the needs of the particular school and to assist teachers in keeping abreast with educational de- velopments. A variety of in-service educational activities are included in our program: TOWN WIDE TEACHERS' MEETINGS are planned in response to the needs and interests of the teachers and are evaluated on the basis of how well they fit these needs and interests. BUILDING MEETINGS in individual schools survey specific local school problems, with principal and teachers participating. INDIVIDUAL BUILDING MEETINGS WITH THE ELEMENTARY SUPERVISOR study new, significant ma- terial assigned to the building, sometimes with the assist- ance of a trained demonstrator. STUDY GROUPS of teachers survey a pointed interest, subject, problem or need. Study groups are based on prob- lems judged by the teachers to be especially important for, consideration. A WORKSHOP in elementary arithmetic for first and second grade teachers was held in November, with teachers working together to construct materials to enrich the arith- metic program. OBSERVATION OF-OTHER TEACHERS AT WORK in their classrooms within the system is arranged as part of the in-service educational opportunities. Usually new teach- ers are provided with this experience. This opportunity is also available to any teacher who wishes to take advantage of it. 275 CONFERENCES providing special supervisory help are available to teachers who wish,to discuss special prob- ,lems, to exchange ideas, to receive help in planning, organ- izing, or locating materials of instruction, to review courses of study, to determine methods of taking care of individual . difficulties and any of the many items that disturb teachers. r CONVENTIONS afford still another type of in-service training for our teachers with attendance of teachers and principals being recorded at the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction and the Massachusetts Elementary Principals and Supervisors Conference. Teachers Participate In Committee Work Elementary teachers also serve on various committees. For example, several elementary principals and teachers were very active in helping to plan the elementary section of an exhibit for the Barnstable County Fair which was held in August. A very attractive display of materials pre- pared by the children in the elementary schools was a color- ful contribution to the total school exhibit. Teachers Make Other Local and Cape-Wide Contributions Individual teachers make professional worthwhile con- tributions in the community and in other Cape towns. The following list suggests the types of activities in which they participate: panel discussions in other towns concerning specific local problems or interests; Cape-vwide or Town-wide committees, serving as members or as chairmen; local club meetings, as guest speakers; and program presentations. Elementary, school teachers also cooperate with the guidance department of the High School. High school students who want to enter into the teaching profession are invited to observe the teachers and pupils at work, and to participate in some of the activities with the children. These experiences help the students determine whether or not they are fitted for the teaching profession, and whether or not they.will enjoy the work. Several teachers in the Hyannis Elementary School have supervised the training of student teachers from the Bridgewater Teachers' College. Mr. Henry Rosen, Director of Training at the College,,has been very generous in his praise of these teachers and of the school in which the students worked. 276 f < ID tog : a": r , pi s For the first time, at the Barnstable County Fair, a school exhibit was placed on display by the Barnstable Public Schools. The objective of the display was - to better acquaint the public with the work being done in the schools. With this in mind a cross section exhibit was developed including objects and works from elementary and secondary school classes in many"fields. Exhibits by the English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies Departments were blended with objects from the Trade School, and the total picture was enhanced by contributions from the elementary schools. " PUPILS AT WORK Children learn through their experiences. When we look at the experiences sponsored by the school, we see children at'work. We see the curricul,_, being built. Let us look at children at work in the Barnstable Schools. We shall see boys and girls working in informal groups, we shall see them working alone and independently, and we shall see them working in organized, groups. We shall see ways in which many of the pupils grow in skills, understanding,- and competence that life in our society requires of them. Children Work In Classroom Groups In-all schools children work in groups at least part of the time. Our teachers often provide for groups of children who like to work together, committees for specific jobs, in- terest groups, ability groups, or groups of children who have similar problems and needs. Children who work in these groups make progress themselves and contribute to the progress made by others. In large and small groups chil- dren learn to evaluate their work together. Children Work Independently One of the most important things a child learns in school is to plan, and to do his work independently when necessity demands. All pupils have time in which they wort: independently of the teacher and other children. In work- ing by themselves, children complete assignments or respon- sibilities they have accepted, discover new interests, and find avenues of creativeness. Below are some of the prac- tices observed: Assignments And Tasks In all schools children are expected to complete assigned tasks in their individual periods. Teachers 'guide pupils in these assignments trying to see that each child develops in the gray most appropriate for him. Helping Others Children often help each other to improve their abilities in the tool subjects independently of the teacher. In each instance the teacher guides these activities so that they be- come a specific constructive part of the total program. School Services In our elementary schools ebildren are encouraged to perform services for the school such as taking down the 278 flag each afternoon; arranging flowers for the halls and classrooms; helping with traffic .situations in and out of the building; answering the telephone; greeting visitors; arranging displays in cabinets or on bulletin boards; check- ing out reading books; receiving. books to be returned to the library; and keeping accurate records. Through all such services, children learn ways and at- titudes of being good citizens. They receive the teacher's or principal's guidance and help in planning and evalu- ating. They gradually learn to work independently at other times. Children Work In Organized Groups In some schools, boys and girls organize clubs to pro- vide opportunities for children interested in the same or similar things to work together and to have more social activities than they otherwise would have. Among the clubs that have been organized in our schools are: Junior Audu- bon Club, Science Club, Folk Dance Club, Junior Red Cross Club, and Hobby Club. y s HI •. A Pupils of the Hyannis Elementary School work in an organized group to collect toys for-the Children's Ward at the Cape'Cod Hospital. 279 School clubs contribute to the worth of a school pro- gram by providing interesting activities for leisure time that enrich the character and personality of the child, as well as enriched opportunities for pupils to learn to work together. Children Learn Through Varied Activities and Practices Included in Our School Program This report does not represent a total program followed by all of our schools. Neither does it describe all of the good' practices observed. Techniques of teaching that are determined by published courses of study, guidebooks and textbooks are not included here. Developing Understanding and Skill in Reading Characteristics of reading programs which have been observed include the following: Boys and girls are reading with enjoyment at individ- ual reading levels from materials and subjects in which they are interested. Through a variety of materials, children's interests are being increased. Through wise selections of materials and guidances, children's curiosity is expanding. Teachers see evidence that children are growing in the fundamental reading abilities including: mastery of tech- niques for quickly recognizing new words and groups of words, ability to understand meaning of words, comprehen- sion of passages read, ability to locate information relating to problems, and ability to organize ideas in answer to ques- tions or in solving problems. Reading activities are closely associated with the chil dren's other school and home activities. Learning To Write And Spell We are tryinl- to teach our children to write legibly and spontaneously about something important to them and to spell in order to write. In addition to seeing that children have opportunities to use their spelling and writing, teach- ers follow suggestions of -good curriculum guides, and text- book manuals. Below are examples of activities in which children use writing and spelling in situations of interest to them: Writing Letters The pupils of one fifth grade wrote to .various Cham- bers of Commerce for pointed information and material re- 280 .......... ><e �g ..yRn�.:.g .." .':'.,:$':`.:..'�•-.,:-. :_.g - ._y :..: .: i4 J:jW'A :ii: :.::i."

Later the pupils were transported by bus to share their presentation with the school children of Centerville, Osterville and Hyannis. Music and art supervisors cooperated in the presentation. lat.ed to their social studies program, while a sixth grade class wrote to many companies for sample materials to use _ in correlation with their health program. Both activities were part of a unit on learning to write business letters. The experience was stimulating, satisfying, and educational. Newspaper Contributions In all of the schools of the town, weekly contributions were made to the local weekly newspaper. Through their newspaper contributions the children saw a purpose in the use of punctuation marks, capital letters, and accurate spelling. They learned to appreciate good-form in writing at the same time that they were encouraged to be sincere and original in what they wrote. 281 Using Numbers Children learn to use arithmetic in many ways that make sense to them. The following ideas seem to stand out in the work we are trying to do in arithmetic: Pupils have opportunities to take part in various real situations where numbers are used. Children take pirt in services for the school involving numbers, and learn to use the appropriate number skills. Progress is evaluated frequently and individually. Children feel successful and happy because they are achieving skills and getting understanding that makes sense to .them. Teachers make periodic checks to see whether the boys and girls are learning the number skills required for their grade levels. For children who need more teaching than the regular learning situations afford, teachers provide drill and prac- tice in meaningful situations. One teacher reported an interesting Christmas shopping arithmetic activity. Each child's problem involved buying gifts for a number of people with an assigned amount of money to spend. A list of names was prepared. Gifts and prices were selected from various catalogues. These were listed and'totall.ed. Each child recorded his experience in an attractive folder of original design. Learning How To Be Well And Safe Our schools provide for the usual health activities in- cluding the teacher's observation each day, periodic physi- cal examinations, correction of defects, rest and quiet'after lunch, supervised and unsupervised play, instruction and guidance when needed, happy and satisfying living, the de- velopment of a healthful environment, and the services-of a school nurse. The report of the school-nurse deals specifical- ly with this area of learning. Using Science Meaningfully In their teaching .observed teachers appear to be help- ing their pupils in such activities as: Children experiment informally, read, observe, inquire about the facts from people who are authorities, and take field trips. 282 Teachers help their pupils learn ways of finding an- swers to things they do not understand and ways of learn- ing why certain facts are true. Teachers help the boys and girls learn to think more clearly and to enjoy more fully what they see or read. :...a,.a.:>t.; 3' a'"r'�"I�i::::.::>;::_y..§.b'�S:d<:;�::...�:. -•, �;y-ro n:?>;1,:i'r� i?^::"..�..; All c. , .�..::r.::..r,., .......".is i.:;:. � .:..�:..

This illustration represents the culmination of an interesting unit carried on in the Osterville School by sixth grade pupils. The Osterville Garden Club sponsored a series of Audubon Society nature lessons. Among the sub- jects explored were leaves, trees, mammals, sea life, birds, and bees. The children wrote stories, created exhiibts, and presented to the Garden Club a program to share their information and to reveal their sincere apprecia- tion for the very, worthwhile opportunity extended to them by the Club. Enjoying Creative Expression Pupils,in our schools are given the opportunity for creative expression through various forms of art, handi- crafts, dramatics, rhythms, music, and dancing. A major aim in creative activities is to provide two groups of experi- ences for children: first, experiences that contribute to the 283 development of the individual and create interests that may continue throughout his life; second, experiences that have meaning in"terms of immediate life situations. ; r. :..:... fir. , Second grade operetta, "Henny Penny" presented in-the Centerville School. ..........

Other examples of the types of opportunities that have ,occurred for children to be creative follow: arrangement of children's.work on bulletin boards made by children themselves; provision for a variety of materials with which pupils may express themselves; planning window decora= tions at Christmas time; participation in making posters for -numerous community projects; and construction of scenery and properties for various performances. -Most of these activities are done under the supervision of the classroom teachers assisted by the art supervisor. Our schools also provide opportunities for children to sing and to play simple instruments for the enjoyment they get: out of the activity. This phase of learning has been re- ported by the Director of Music, Mr. Simon Gesin. .. _.__.. r,.....: !;?':...:::..::::::.t.'� >a i i ._.: . . ..,._,..[..;,...:.. ..fir.. a' 5 r £ Prize winners in Halloween parade reveal original, creative tendencies. 286 SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY AT WORK TOGETHER We are aware Hof the importance of establishing a close relationship between the school and community. One of the groups which bring people together from both the home and the school is the parent-teacher group. Although in some of our villages, these parent groups have assumed different names, the activities of all have much in common as far as goals and methods of working are concerned. It would be difficult to attempt to summarize all of the valuable service extended to us by these groups. This re- port is concerned mostly with revealing an awareness and appreciation of these services to the pupils and teachers. We believe that the present relationships between the parents and the teacher are good. Through the efforts of interested individuals, and through the organization of par- ents and teachers, a close, friendly cooperative spirit has _ been developed with mutual understanding on the part of all. THE RHINEHART FUNCTIONAL HANDWRITING SYSTEM W. L. Rinehart, Director (Handwriting is taught in the Barnstable Elementary Schools under supervision of the Rinehart Functional Handwriting System. The following report was submitted by W. L. Rinehart, Director of the System.) Once again I am pleased to report on the operation of the handivriting program for the past year. Your teachers have continued to give us the splendid ' cooperation that has become traditional in your schools and for the many courtesies extended to me and my personnel I am most grateful. Our records show that at the conclusion of June 1955, 977o of the papers scored were Excellent or Good. It is rea- sonable to conclude, therefore, that 97% of the papers were eminently satisfactory. Only 3% of the papers were rated Fair or unsatisfactory. 287 During the past school year we graded and diagnosed approximately 8400 formal and 25,000 informal samples of handwriting for your pupils. A formal test was administer- ed at five teaching-week intervals and a report was furnish- ed each teacher in writing giving a careful diagnosis of the handwriting of each pupil in the room. We supplied the fol- lowing instructional and motivational materials to your pupils and teachers: teacher outlines and folders, pupil folders, motivation graphs, individual certificates to pupils who qualified, diagnostic charts, handedness tests, term en- velopes, seals, etc. - Our primary objective is to teach .your students to read and write both cursive handwriting and hand lettering in order that they may have these two tools as efficient aids in school, business, and social correspondence. At each grade level we attempt to achieve the standard norm in speed and never lose sight of the fact that the concomitants of neatness, accuracy, and attention to detail in doing work are desirable characteristics that need to be developed along with technical skill. BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL Frederick M. Hodge, Principal ENROIsLMENT The total enrollment in December was 1042, an increase of 37 pupils over the December 1954 enrollment. In order to provide for the additional pupils, it was necessary to take about two-thirds of the library for use as a classroom, giving us a medium sized classroom and a small library with ac- commodations for forty pupils. As an even larger increase in enrollment is anticipated in September 1956, additional space for classrooms will have to be found in a building which is already overcrowded. PROGRAM OF STUDIES Because .of inadequate facilities in the building, it -vas necessary beginning in September to reduce the number of periods in eleventh-and twelfth grade physical education classes from two periods a. week to one period. In Septem- 288 ber the machine shop was discontinued because an in sufficient number of students were interested in this type of work. The following table shows the enrollment in grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve in each of the courses now being offered: Grade Course 9 10 11 12 College 57 47 52 '35 Business 26 36 27 19 General 63 60 50 56 Household Arts 7 8 'Practical Arts 5 4 3 Agriculture 5 7 10 Trade School 8 7 4 2 . GRADUATES The survey of graduates which accompanies this report shows the colleges in which members of the class of 1955 have enrolled. Thirty-seven percent of the 1955 graduates are continuing their education. Barnstable High School is a member of the New Eng- land Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Mem- bership in this association is limited to those high schools which can meet certain, standards for admission. The State Department of Education no longer attempts to- rate high schools and classify them as "A" or "B". GUIDANCE The guidance program is concerned with the develop- ment of the pupil into a well adjusted graduate with a com- plete understanding of his possibilities. We endeavor to ac- complish this in several ways. During the pupil's high school course he is given apti- tude tests which help him to answer questions in regard to his chances of success in a particular field. Each pupil is interviewed at least once during-each year. In some cases several interviews are required in order to obtain the com- plete solution to a problem. All pupils in the seventh and eighth grades have one period of classroom guidance each week. 289 In the seventh grade guidance classes, pupils are helped in orientation to their new building and the system of changing teachers and classes. Considerable time is spent in answering questions about junior high school procedure and the uses of the facilities of the building. Several per- iods are devoted to the teaching of proper methods and procedures of home study. In the eighth grade, the entire year is devoted to self study in relation to the proper course selection for the ninth grade. Several tests and inventories are taken by the. pupils and a careful and critical examination of the results is made. Individual reports of many kinds of occupations are given by the pupils in order that all may have an understanding of as many different fields of work as pos- sible. Representative pupils in the upper grades in each of the courses give their views regarding their particular course. Each' class visits the vocational courses for one per- iod to see the classes in session. The state recommendation calls for a full time coun- selor for each three hundred pupils. With our present en- rollment, we should have at least three full time counselors. We now have one full time and one half time counselor. AGRICULTURE Work in the school forest project, now in its sixth year, was carried on and an area of about twelve acres has now been reclaimed and is a good plot of growing timber trees. The school forest is located on the Center- ville -West Barnstable Road. Judging teams in dairy cattle, livestock, poultry, orna- mentals and vegetables competed in the interscholastic judging contests held at-the University of Massachusetts in the fall. Three boys qualified to compete,in the spring elimination contests held to select a state team. DRIVER EDUCATION Driver Education became a part of the high school program in January 1953. Since that time 226 students have participated in the course, and of these 133 have completed all requirements and been issued Driver Education cer- tificates by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. The minimum requirements as established by the Registry are as follows: 290 20 classroom hours of instruction 6 hours of behind-the-wheel-training 6 hours observation .of another student driver The decision as to whether or not a certificate is issued upon the completion of these requirements is left to the instructor, and depends upon the quality of classroom work, aptitude and attitude of each student. This year 143 students have expressed a desire to en- roll in the Driver Education program. However, it will be possible to train and instruct less than half of this number since this is now a part-time subject in the high school. Thirty-three students are now in the classroom and driving phases of instruction, and it is anticipated that another 35 will begin classroom instruction at the'start of.the second semester. It should be remembered that this course could not be offered if it were not for the generosity and cooperation of Mr. Robert Austin of Capeway Motors who has donated a new car for the past three years, and Mr. H. K. Bragle of Bragle Chevrolet Company, Inc., who has supplied the School Department with a new dual control car for the 1955-56 school year. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY For many years the National Association of Secondary School Principals has sponsored the National Honor Society which athorizes the establishment of chapters in public and private secondary schools. These local chapters have as mem- bers, students who are outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, service and character. Membership is limited to 1517o of the senior class, 107o of the junior class and 5% of the sophomore class. Members are chosen by a faculty commit- tee. Early in 1955 Barnstable Chapter received its charter and inducted into membership three seniors, eight-juniors and five sophomores. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the many organizations and individuals who have assisted the school during the past year. To the superintendent and members of the faculty, I extend my sincere thanks for their assistance and cooperation. 291 BARNSTABLE TRADE SCHOOL Theodore W. Glover, Director There has been little change in the operation of the Trade School for several years now due to crowded con- ditions. • The same courses—boat building, carpentry, and ma- chine shop—were offered as usual. In the spring when pupils chose their courses for 1955-56, we found there was in- sufficient interest in machine shop to continue the course. It had already been decided that the demand for machine shop graduates did not warrant supplying shop facilities for such a course in the new high school. The boat building class has continued building and re- pairing a variety of small boats for which there seems to be an unlimited demand. All boats are built on order and we are always glad to discuss plans with potential owners. In the carpentry department time is divided between shop projects and construction work on the outside. At the end of the year tw:o'additions were in the process of con- struction on a dwelling in the neighborhood. In all vocational courses the emphasis is on teaching a boy the trade, in anticipation that he Till continue the same or some closely allied line as a source of livelihood when he finishes school. The vocational wing of the new high school is already planned to house shops and classrooms for five trades— automobile mechanics, boat building, carpentry, electrical work .and plumbing. EVENING SCHOOL Theodore W. Glover, Director The evening school program is carried on each winter from October to March. In the second half of the 1954-55 season the following classes were continued: citizenship, be- ginning and advanced clothing, jewelry making, knitting, rug hooking, tailoring, typewriting and woodworking. Registration was held for the 1955-56 season on October 3. Much enthusiasm was shown as usual with waiting lists building up in beginning and advanced clothing, although 292 enrollment lagged in some other courses. Classes in opera- tion include citizenship, beginning and advanced clothing, jewelry making, knitting, rug hooking and braiding, tailor- ing typewriting, and woodworking. Total enrollment at the end of the fall term was 168. Each year it is hoped that enough interest will be shown in scientific and academic fields to conduct classes in such subjects, but usually only one'or two register for any such course. As a part of our state aided vocational program the evening class in related training for trade apprentices has been continued. Under the Massachusetts apprenticeship law, each apprentice must take approximately 150 hours a year of so-called related classroom instruction. The trade and vocational schools throughout the Commonwealth 'sup- ply this .instruction. In closing it may he said that a demand exists for a wide variety of vocational training in both day and evening programs all of which may be better provided for in the new accommodations now being built. REPORT OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Simon Gesin, Director The following is a report of the activities in the music department, Barnstable Public Schools. The elementary vocal program, under the direction. of Miss Dorothy Barton, Vocal Supervisor, is being revised with the gradual installation of "The American Singer", second edition, of the American Book Co. In addition to regular classroom work., special groups were organized in the schools witli the help of the different principals. Special Christmas programs were presented in these schools, and a combined program, using the voices of over 200 elementary singers was .presented at the High School. An innovation this past year for seventh and eighth grade classes was a series of programs by different instru= mental ensembles from New York, presented to the entire combined group. These ensembles—The New York Wood- wind Quintet, The New Music String Quartet and The New York Brass Ensemble—presented informal and informative programs, giving explanations about each selection that played, and telling about each instrument in the ensemble. 293 A The High School Chorus of about 80 singers continues to rehearse on the average of once a week and'thus far has participated in the Christmas assemblies, and the combined Christmas program on Wednesday evening, December 21, 1955. The instrumental program continues to expand. With the addition of the services of Mr. Charles Tourjee on a three-day-aweek basis, we were able to increase the number of students taking instrumental lessons in the elementary schools. Where the number of students taking lessons last year was 84, the number of students taking lessons this year is 165, an increase of almost 100 per cent. Interest in these instrumental lessons is still at a high level, and this program is bound to expand even more. The Elementary Band, a very lively organization, about three years old, has had in the past, a membership of about twenty-six. At the, present writing, it has 48 members, and in another month a few more members will be admitted, so that the membership will be well over 50=another in- crease of almost 100 per cent. This group of instrument- alists, mainly the advanced students from grades 5 and 6, represents every elementary school in the town. It rehearses as a combined unit on Saturday mornings at the_Hyannis Elementary School. Transportation for these players from all the villages is very generously arranged by various par- ents in each village. Thus far, the attendance at rehearsals has been running approximately 90 to 95 per cent—a re- g' g A ...

Pictured above is the newlyformed Barnstable High School Seventh Grade Band markable turnout, considering the fact that the time is their own, and pupils of that age have many other interests- on'a Saturday. This year, under Mr. Tourjee's direction we started an intermediate instrumental organization which we call the Seventh Grade Band. This group of 17 players, all of the seventh gLde, rehearses -after school every Thursday until' 4:20 P.M. in the High School Auditorium. They took part in the December 21st Christmas program. Next year, this group will be expanded so that the eighth graders (this year's 7th graders) will combine -with the new instrument- alists in the seventh grade to form a Junior High School Band. Thus, when the new High School is ready; we shall have three organizations: The High School Band The Junior High School Band, which will provide the 295 necessary,stepping stone from elementary to high school playing, and will act as a training organization and "feeder" for the High School Band. The Elementary Band, which will give the vital and necessary first experience in group playing, so important to an instrumentalist. - The High School Band was very active, at the begin- ning of the school year, playing at all football games, and marching in the Veterans' Day Parade and the annual Santa Claus Parade, sponsored by the Hyannis Board of. Trade. We shall also participate in the Memorial Day parade as well- as jother events during the year. In the spring of 1955 we were fortunate to have nine people chosen to be participants in the New England Music Festival, held at Rutland, Vermont. This year, we have submitted the applications of twenty-two High School mu- sicians, both vocal and instrumental, in the high hopes that all will be accepted to go to the Festival, which is to be held at Clarement, N. H., in March. Interest in music in the Barnstable schools is increas- ing. It is our hope that this interest will continue to grow resulting in improved musical organizations in the Barn- stable Public Schools. REPORT OF SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM Robert D. Watt, M.D., School Physician Ethel M. Aikens, R.N., School Nurse Two matters of great concern in the health field this year were the unusually high incidence of Poliomylitis in the town and state, and the announcement of the Salk Polio Vaccine. A total of 298 students in grades one and two received one inoculation of the Salk Polio Vaccine. This vaccine was issued by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. It may be pertinent to note that in this town no child who received the one inoculation contracted poliomylitis. 296 The number Hof school children who had polio was seven, three cases being the paralytic type and four being the non-paralytic type. The high incidence of polio followed a Fall and Winter in which there was an increase over previous years of measles, mumps and chickenpox. The School Dental' Clinic, sponsored by the Board of Health, was conducted at the Hyannis Elementary School. , Dr. Benjamin Kepnes, School Dentist, conducted a dental survey of all students in the schools of Barnstable, grades one through twelve. His report indicated that there was marked improvement in the amount of corrective work being accomplished on the teeth of the school are child. However, dental caries is still a serious problem, as approxi- mately 85% of the school population is affected by this disease. The following is a summary of work accomplished: Number of Clinics 42 Number of examinations 3,103 Number temporary fillings 54 Number permanent fillings 91 Number temporary extractions 82 Number permanent extractions 17 Cleanings 61 Total treatments 375 Number treated 129 Physical examinations were given by Dr. Robert Watt, School Physician, to the bus drivers, the football team, girls' and boys' basketball teams, as well as to all students in grades one, three, seven and eleven. All new students enter- ing this system also received physical appraisals. Dr. Watt also checked defects found in previous exam- inations of children in other grades scheduled for follow-up. Whenever necessary, he conferred with the family physician in regard to defects found. 297 Vision and hearing tests were administered according to regulations, and parents were notified of defects found. Pre-school registration and physical appraisals were conducted during the months of April and M--Y. A total of 202 children, with parents, attended these clinics. This is an important feature of the School Health Program, as it gives an opportunity for the school physician and nurse to confer with the parent on any defect noted and also on the growth and, development of the child. The parents also have time before the child enters school to correct any defect. Toxoid inocculations were administered to grades one and four by Dr. Fred L. Moore. A total of 394 received these injections. In accordance with Chapter 732 of Acts of 1950, Gen- eral Laws of Massachusetts, all school personnel have re- ceived chest X-rays. The School Health Department wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation of all agencies who assist in our health work and especially to the parents and fam- ily physicians. o EF U' N ti a 00 0 H cl cl LO {� L ry rl ri rl ri_ V H U1 Hi o 0 r cq c� � co cn ri y ri G\l r-1 cl cl 6� r-I rl r-i c7 CY7 L � 00 � 41 [0 H li r-i , ��-i m c cli N cq � � � r H qj Pcd bD CCd ce o „ 0 +; o o Ei c a zn ce U O U W G 299 di 00 GO G�7 Oclir-ImC�r-I LJ'cM di n nrl GV cl �+CV Lam-r-i M cC O v MO m cfl m U,J r i C- .

"Appointed. 6 REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN OF THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE For the Year 1956 Although no research has been made on the subject it would seem quite possible that the Town of Barnstable has undertaken more extensive and expensive School and Public Works projects since 1950 than in all its previous history. Certainly this would be true if we excluded roads from our consideration. Having our present commitments in mind it might be well to look at what we are doing, what we may be asked to do in the near future, and how we are situated financially to face what lies ahead. STATUS OF PRESENT PROJECTS The Town of Barnstable is nearing the completion of the most important phase of its school building program. The new Cotuit School will probably be completed and accepted before Town Meeting. The Barnstable-West Barn- stable School shortly afterwards, and the new High School by the middle of the year. The most difficult part of the sewer improvement pro- gram is practically finished and work at the filter beds will begin very soon. After long delays necessitated by the exacting require- ments of Federal and State participation, it seems likely that work will begin this Spring on the improvement of the Barnstable Municipal Airport. It is inevitable that rising building costs and increasingly stringent regulations governing public works are considerably increasing the total cost of this project. It is hoped that bids will be re- ceived before Town Meeting so that any inadequancy of funds may be considered at that time rather than later. 7 POSSIBLE FUTURE PROJECTS The Marstons Mills School has inadequate facilities, and there is again a shortage of space at the Osterville School. These problems will have to be met presently. It is possible that soon an extensive highway improve- ment program to alleviate the serious summer traffic situ- ation in Hyannis may be presented to the town. Likewise proposals for harbor improvements, possibly of major pro- portions, may at any time require consideration. These would seem to be the more important matters which will face us in the immediate future, although others of considerable magnitude may very likely be proposed at any time. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION The Town has assumed large financial (debt) burdens during the past two years. We have borrowed three million dollars ($3,000,000.00) for schools, two hundred and forty thousand dollars ($240,000.00) for sewer improvements, and one hunderd'and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000.00) for new airport facilities. Now that two of these undertakings are approaching completion perhaps we should again take a look at the Town's financial condition as of January 1, 1957 so that we may more accurately appraise the effect of these im- provements on the tax rate and on our fiscal ability to face the future. The following table shows our debt situation for the next ten years. This includes all sums the Town has voted to borrow to date with the exception of the airport improve- ment loan which has not yet been made. Of course, the table cannot reflect the results of any loans voted by future Town Meetings: 8 n.a m F A 0 '"' b w 9:4 C n3 cc D �w �w F w z° wH 1957 $264,500 $71,466 $335,966 $107,000 $228,966 $4.55 1958 262,000 66,493 328,493 72,036 256,458 5.10 1959 250,000 61,548 311,548 72,036 239,512 4.77 1960 195,000 56,839 251,839 69,077 182,762 3.63 1961 190,000 52,861 242,861 37,716 205,145 4.08 1962 190,000 48,934 238,934 37,716 201,218 4.00 1963 190,000 45,006 235,006 37,716 197,290 3.92 1964 170,000 41,079 211,079 31,425 179,654 3.57 1965 170,000 37,451 207,451 31,425 176,026 3.50 1966 170,000 33,824 203,824 31,425 172,399 3.43 Assuming no increase in valuation, these figures indi- cate that our debt and interest payment will represent $4.50 this year in the tax rate, about $5.10 next year, and will decrease each year thereafter so that by 1966, even with no increase in valuation, the tag rate will be effected only to the extent of $3.43. If we enjoy even a million dollar annual increase in valuation, the tag increase would be re- duced to about $2.85 by 1966. The Town has enjoyed another good financial year during 1956. Although our usable cash reserves (free cash) were reduced by the 1956 Town Meeting appropriations to less than $100,000.00, January 1, 1957 finds us with a usable cash surplus of $207,000.00, about $40,000.00 more than a year ago. These reserves have been built up by the addi- tion to it of appropriation balances at the end of the year, and by the excess of amounts received for certain "Esti- mated Receipts" over the amounts used in determining the tag rate. With the approval of the Selectmen, the Treas- urer invested funds borrowed, but not immediately re- quired for the various school projects in United States Treasury Bills and Certificates. This resulted in earnings during the year of $46,632.00. Such sizeable funds will not be available for investment during 1957. 9 As Dr. Morris Lambie, consultant for the Salary Com- mittee, stated on several occasions, the Town of Barnstable is in excellent financial condition. This was obvious during the past two years when the town floated its school and other loans, obtaining in each instance an interest rate which was most favorable considering the prevailing mar- ket conditions. In this respect it is most fortunate that we didn't de- lay further with our school improvements. If they were being begun now, higher interest charges alone would in- crease our tax rate an average of thirty-five or forty cents annually for the next twenty years. . TOWN BEACHES Although the summer of 1956 did not produce the usual number of good beach days our beaches nevertheless enjoyed successful seasons. Receipts for parking and in the bathhouses at Craigville and Kalmus Park were almost identical with 1955. Snack bar income at Kalmus showed a gratifying increase in its second year of operation. Sea Street beach showed an increase in parking receipts reflect- ing in part the improved parking facilities there. BEACH RECEIPTS CraigviRe Beach 1955 1956 Parking $17,340.00 $17,729.00 Bathhouse 9,765.00 9,323.00 $27,105.00 $27,042.00 Kalmus Park Beach Parking $2,666.00 $2,664.00 Bathhouse 1,345.00 1,208.00 Snack Bar (Gross) 3,539.00 4,717.00 $7,550.00 $8,589.00 10 Sea Street Beach Parking $2,669.00 $3,086.00 Food Concession 495.00 532.00 $3,164.00 $3,618.00 A study of the above figures shows that Kalmus Park Beach has not yet begun to realize its potentialities. It is a fine beach with excellent facilities and is well run. We are sure that in the future more and more people will "discover" it. In time it should become as popular as Craigville. The cost of operating the six principal beaches under the supervision of the Selectmen was $33,550.00, the in- come about $40,000.00, showing a profit from operation of $6,500.00. It is about the only service the Town gives upon which a profit can be realized. During the past year about half of the available park- ing area at Dowse's Beach was "black-topped". The re- mainder should be done this year (1957). Improvements should be made at one of the Cotuit beaches, probably Ropes, in order to improve the rather meager beach facilities there. It is expected that an Article or Articles will be before the 1957 Town Meeting to ac- complish this result. SALARY COMMITTEE The Salary Committee that was appointed at the last annual Town Meeting to work with the Selectmen to estab- lish an equitable wage and salary scale for town employees has worked most arduously at their task. Particularly the Chairman, Edward Kelly, has spent literally hundreds of hours on this work. It, is the opinion of the Selectmen that the Committee has arrived at a fair and equitable result. We would recommend that every voter study their forth- coming report most carefully. 11 As in the past, we have received excellent co-operation during the past year from the Highway Department and the Board of Health. Particularly notable in this respect was their assistance with the construction of the new park- ing area in back of the Public Service Building in Hyan- nis. The use of the equipment of both departments in doing most, of the preliminary work reduced very materially the cost of this project. To avoid any possible misunderstanding, it should be stated also that all departments with whom we work dur- ing the year gave us every consideration and co-operation. In fact, we believe that all branches of the town govern- ment are "pulling together" very effectively. VICTOR F. ADAMS, Chairman, Board of Selectmen. 12 ASSESSOR'S REPORT FOR 1956 To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The program of re-valuation of residential property in the Town was completed in the year 1956. It is a great satisfaction to the Board of Assessors to have a systematic procedure of values. It means that the taxes are assessed according to the property owned. The usual procedure of reviewing unfinished and new construction was carried out in 1956 and resulted in an in- crease of $3,581,291.00 in the value of the Town. The tax rate was $37.40 per thousand, and this increase in value meant $133,940.00 more income in tax dollars. However, the 1956 Town Meeting voted to raise $281,971.00 more than in 1955. The additional income mentioned above as $133,940.00 did not meet the increase that was voted. Therefore, the tax rate had to rise from $35.00 per thousand to $37.40 per thousand.

Chief of Police 214 Report of REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: We respectfully submit the following report pertain- ing to the Sewer Department for the year 1956. Mr. Kenneth Bearse, Superintendent, reports that no serious trouble has developed at the pumping station in the past year to cause any suspension of service. Due to power failure the auxiliary power plant was used several times and functioned satisfactorily. During the year 1956, there was an estimated 151,000,000 gallons of sewerage pumped onto the filter beds. This amount represents again a substantial increase over the previous year. The eight filter beds are in excellent condition and are functioning satisfactorily. The new crawler type trac- tor used at the filter beds has proven to be very efficient in keeping the beds free from weeds. The new force main has been.completed and tested. This main consisted of 6179 feet of 16 inch pipe and 4798 feet of 20 inch pipe We hope to have the new Clarification System in operation at the Filter Beds before the summer of 1957. The Sewer Department wishes to thank the various departments of the Town, who during the past year have assisted us from time to time. This cooperation has been most unselfish and helpful.

To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The theme behind the Highway Department Road Pro- gram for the year 1957 is to stress the maintenance and re- surfacing of the present town roads, as well as furnishing the department with the proper equipment to accomplish the work. One .of the most important factors in the development and prosperity of the Town of Barnstable is its system of good roads. Great progress has been made through our en- gineering practices during the last few years. The ever con- stant demand for new and better roads has increased the amount of highways to be constructed by this department each year to the equivalent of nearly five miles of twenty foot roads. The Town now has nearly 300 miles of paved roads. 1956 ROAD PROJECTS NEW ROADS—Gravel to Mix-in-place* Newtown: Bog Road ................................................ 1500 feet Wakeby Road .................................... 1500 feet Cotuit: Oyster Road .......................................... 5000 feet Rope's Beach Road ........................ 1.500 feet Hyannis: King's Way .......................................... 600 feet Tucker Road ....................................... 300 feet Birch Street .......................................... 300 feet Bay Street ............................................. 900 feet Nantucket Street ........................... 300 feet Cumner Street .................................... 550 feet Centerville: Short Beach Road ........................ 400 feet Sylvia Road .......................................... 520 feet Crocker Street .................................... 350 feet 218 NEW ROAD—Gravel to Bituminous Concrete* Barnstable: Maraspin Creek Boat Basin ....... 850 feet Hyannis: Lookout Lane .......................................... 350 feet Centerville: Pond View Drive ................................. 2000.feet (Dustlayer to Hot -Mix) ROADS RESURFACED—Mix-in-place* West Barnstable: Cedar Street ............................................. 4000 feet Marstons Mills: Old Falmouth Road ........................... 5000 feet ROADS RESURFACED—Bituminous Concrete* Hyannisport: Longwood Avenue .............................. 750 feet Hyannis: West Main Street ................................. 750 feet' Approximate measurements. ROADS REBUILT—Frost Damage Appropriation: New surface on Wequaquet Lane, Centerville; portion, of Pitcher's Way and Hinckley Road, Hyannis. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: Road sealing program by Highway Department: Bearse's Way, Centerville Road and Race Lane, Newtown Road. Statistics: 850 tons of a/s" stone and 1.7,500 gallons of emulsion asphalt. In addition to the above, the department also has per- formed its usual maintenance functions and sealcoated an additional 9000 feet of roads with sand and asphalt. Drain- age work on Yarmouth Road, Hvannis and at Bearse's Mill, Centerville, has been completed. DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS, GROUNDS AND EQUIP- MENT: All in excellent condition. The parking area around the building has recently been surfaced. SAND SPREADERS: Three new Flink Hydraulic Tailgate Spreaders have been purchased and were a great assist- anee in the ice storms. 219 TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM: Nearly 50 miles of the principal roads have been "white-lined". GRAND ISLAND BRIDGE: The appropriation of $5,000 for painting proved inadequate. An article will be in- serted in the warrant for 1957 for the consideration of the voters requesting an additional sum of money- to be added to the above amount. BUMPS RIOTER BRIDGE: During the summer of 1956 the center carrying support of this bridge collapsed caus- in- the discontinuance of traffic. To eleviate this con- dition, a temporary Bailey Bridge was constructed. A ne%v bridge will be built as soon as the necessary plans, bids and contracts are approved by the State and County. l$.ISCELI.ANEOUS: Several hundred feet of fence was painted and some new was erected. However, for the safety . of the public, some new fence construction should be done in 1957, particularly .on Route 149 and the Osterville-West Barnstable Road. Most of the articles to be inserted in the 1957 Town Warrant for your consideration at the Annual Town Meet- ing will concern the need for maintenance of the already existing paved roads, proper drainage and new equipment. It is necessary to appropriate a sizeable sum of money yearly in an effort to keep pace with the constant demand for improved highways in our modern method of trans- portation. The methods employed in the expenditures of the money appropriated for highways, in order to receive the greatest possible value, is indeed a serious problem. It has been given serious and careful study by your Surveyor and Road Committee. As your Surveyor of Highways, I am fully conscious of the responsibilities the town has entrusted to me and 1 hope to be able to repay the town for its confidence with continued worth«Thile service.

At this ineeting the 1957 budget estimates for Roads and Bridges to be submitted by the Surveyor of Highways were carefully studied and discussed. Finding these es- timates to be in line with increased yearly requirements of the department, the committee voted unanimous ap- proval. The roads to be accepted at the next Annual Meeting, as well as roads to be resurfaced this year were examined by the committee and recommendations made. It might be well to note here, that during the past year the Road Committee met quarterly with the Surveyor of Highways to review the road program and approve contracts let by the Highway Department. Your committee has gone over all the roads in the town and has observed the work of the highway men as well as that of Contractors employed. We have found that the work has been done in a workman- like manner and as prescribed in the contracts awarded. One change in policy was recommended to the Sur- veyor of Highways to be adopted during the coming year. This change is in effect, that, no construction shall be done on a newly accepted road for at least one year after ac- ceptance. By following this procedure, it is felt that the town construction engineer will have the necessary time to study the road layout,,and design the road for proper drain- age and grade before a request for money to improve the road is made. In 1956, the Road Committee accepted the resignation of Mr. Nelson Bearse of Centerville who had given willingly of his time and engineering experience for many years. Air. Gene Anderson was appointed to fill the vacancy and represent the Centerville area on your committee. In concluding this report, the Road Committee wishes to commend to the Citizens of the Town, the Highway De- 2.23 partment for its excellent condition and the Surveyor of Highways for its sound road program and fine admiuistra- tion of his department. Respectfully submitted, Mathew Birtwhistle W. 11I. Nicicer�on. Chairman Hay Bruce Reid J. Wendell Hamblin Gene Anderson Fred D. Conant Robert Do«ling Road Committee REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD At the last Annual Town Meeting, a revised zoning code was adopted by the Town of Barnstable. The oper- ating experience of the first year indicates that the code is adequace in most respects but -will require some mod- ification. The Planning Board will present certain articles in the coming Town Meeting for this purpose. In conjunction with the zoning survey, a traffic study vas started with the principal purpose of attempting to alleviate traffic problems along Main Street in Hyannis. One of the key points in any solution to present conditions is the Depot Square Area, so called, and involves land owned by the New Haven Railroad. During the period in which the study has ben in progress a number of confer- ences have been held with railroad officials. On the basis of ideas discussed at these meetings, various plans and draw- ings have been presented to them. However, to date, it has been impossible for the Planning Board to get approval of any one of the plans. For this reason no final report of the Traffic Survey is available at this time. The Planning Board hopes to have funds made avail- able at this coming Town Meeting for the purpose of starting a planning program to cover a two year period. If this pro- gram is adopted, the Planning Board will have available for all town departments maps and reference material which should mean a considerable saving in time and money to the town. It will also serve as a guide for future develop- , ment of the town and will enable the townspeople to more properly evaluate the expenditures of their tax dollars. FRANK H. HINCKLEY, Jr. Chairman 224 Report of BUILDING INSPECTOR January 15, 1956 Town of Barnstable Board of Selectmen Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I herewith submit my Annual Report for the year end- ing December 31, 1956. Again I submit tables showing the growth of the vil- lages of the Town and the Town as a whole. I wish to thank all the Town Officials and personnel of the various Town offices for their co-operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT D.

G. a � k ) §26 Report of TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: I am pleased to report this year that it has been pos- sible to obtain a good crew of tree climbers and a great deal of work has been accomplished in removing the dead and broken branches from the large shade trees in the several villages throughout the Town. This also gives ad- ditional protection against the Dutch Elm disease. It was necessary to cover all of the trees throughout the Town to remove the broken branches which were in danger of falling. When this work was completed the trees in the villages in the western part of the Town were. put in as good condition as possible. A great deal of work was also done in the other villages to insure the health of the trees. During the year it was necessary to remove approxi- mately one hundred road-side trees of all sizes and varieties. Many of these were native pine, the removal of which being necessary because they proved dangerous to pedestrians and automobiles. The young shade trees throughout the Town have been pruned and fertilized and these trees were braced to help their growth wherever necessary. These trees were very good specimens and were given good care. The department feels they will grow into healthy shade trees. All of the dead trees in the young plantings were removed and re- placed with new trees. These plantings were continued in new areas to the extent of one hundred trees. I feel, from the large number of requests, that plantings should be in- creased as soon as the finances of the Department will allow. The Tent Caterpillar situation has shown a decided increase over the previous year. This Department, with the cooperation of the Highway Department, is gradually re- moving the host trees of this insect. All of the trees infected with the Tent Caterpillar were sprayed at the proper time and I feel that this insect is no longer a dangerous pest. 217 During the past year the Elm Beetle infestation con- tinued well under control.. The spraying continues through the life circles of the insect. These infestations must be watched closely and the possibility of complete control with out present insecticides is doubtful, so it is necessary to check the trees periodically, to keep this infestation un- der control. The various other minor infestations seem to be well tinder control. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS Tree Warden Report of FOREST FIRE WARDEN To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: I herewith submit my seventh annual report which is for the year ending December 31, 1956.

Work is progressing nicely in the Town forest and it is planned to plant more trees this coming spring. The equipment of the Department is in top condition. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES HALLETT Forest Fire Warden 228 Report of THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following are the reports of the various Depart- ments under the Supervision of the Moth Superintendent: DUTCH ELM DISEASE On the advice of the State Department of Natural Re- sources the spraying for the control of the Dutch Elm dis- ease was started earlier than usual this spring. The Depart- ment has recently ruled that we double the quantity of insecticides applied to each tree to see if better results could be obtained in the control of the Bark Beetle• which is the carrier of the Dutch Elm disease. To do everything possible to give good coverage of all the shade trees, an airplane was also used to spray the tops of all the Elm trees. Despite these safe-guards there seems to be an increase in the number of trees infected with this disease. This increase has been very alarming in several nearby towns. The num- ber of infected trees in 1956 has doubled over 1955 and from past experiences in other vicinities this increase will gather momentum for two more. years. I have obtained an additional blower and upon the recommendation of the State Department we will increase our application per tree in hopes that we may be able to protect as many trees as pos- sible. In addition to the ground equipment I am also plan- ning to use an air spray to cover the Elm trees this year. During the entire summer these trees are scouted at weekly intervals and samples are continually cut and sent to Greenfield for culture to determine if any Dutch Elm disease is present. After a tree has been positively identi- fied as being infected with Dutch Elm disease it is necessary to remove the tree and dispose of it in its entirety. During the past season the first infected tree was found in Center- ville. Previously, they had been found only in Hyannis and Barnstable villages. INSECT PEST CONTROL During the past few ,years the duties of the Insect Pest Control Department have been greatly broadened so that 229 they include the control of several new insects, including Japanese Beetle and Wood' Ticks, as well as the control of poison ivy. The Gypsy Moth infestation has shown a small increase during the past year. During this season's trapping pro- gram our number of catches has doubled. It will be neces- sary during the coming year to spot spray the areas in which these catches were made. In the past the State De- partment has been supplying an airplane for this work, but they feel that the Town should carry on this work by themselves in the future if possible. Most of the equipment which the State has available is usually tied up during the spraying season on large spraying projects as they are con- tinuing their program of spraying the entire State. This state-wide spraying will make it easier to control the Gypsy Moth in the local regions. Experimental work has been carried out in the removal of the poison ivy on some Town-owned property and it has been noted that a reasonably good job can be obtained by spraying the .same area for two consecutive years. AERIAL SPRAYING The aerial spraying program was started during the latter part of June and was completed within six days. All marshy areas bordering the residential areas were sprayed, as well as the public beaches throughout the Town. Many stagnant water holes which had been reported as breed- ing places were also sprayed in this operation. I feel that the continued application of DDT during this work has done some good in the control of Japanese Beetle. It is my intention to .spray an experimental area with an increased doseage of DDT and I am assured that it will kill the adult beetle. If this experimental spraying shows good results, it might be possible to enlarge the areas each year. On the whole, the results of the aerial spraying are very good and many favorable comments have been re- ceived from residents of these areas sprayed. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS Moth Superintendent 230 Report of . SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: , Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report for the year ending Decem ber 31, 1956. During the year I made 995 tests by trial weighing of commodities. Of these 770 were correct, 99 were over, 131 were under weight. This trouble was found and cor- rected. There were 38 summer stores who were required by law to have a Transient Vendors license, all were bonded and licensed. State License Fee 950.00 Town License Fee (38) 2,499.02 I issued 20 applications for Peddlars Licenses and in- spected 28 peddlers for license.

Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM L. CASH, Sealer 231 Report of THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE January 21, 1957 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I hereby submit to you my report for the year 1956. CLAMS The supply of clams has increased in all parts of the Town. The south side of the Town has a good supply of seed in some areas, and the seed in Barnstable Harbor has increased. QUAHOGS A total of 853'/s bushels of mixed quahogs were plan- ted. We planted 407 bushels of these for family use in the following places: Freezer Flat in Barnstable South of the Fish Hills in Hyannis Douse's Flat in Osterville The remaining 4461/2 bushels were planted for prop- agation purposes in deep water in South Bay. OYSTERS There is a good supply of oysters in Bumps River, but they are still too small to be taken. SCALLOPS This was a very good season for scallops, and from all indications with all the seed scallops around we shall have another good season in 1957. RAZOR CLAMS The razor clams are about as plentiful as in previous years. PEST CONTROL The following figures were reported for pests destroy- ed during 1956: 5,535 Cockles 2,259 Horseshoe crabs 661 Sand collars Respectfully submitted, REINO LAMPI 232 Report of INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: During the past year the number of dog bites increased from 45 to 71. I find that 46 of these bites occured between June and September. I recommend that dog owners make every effort to keep their dogs restrained or under con- trol during the very hot periods of the summer months. I wish to warn all persons using any form of poison for the control of insects or rodents, that some of the new- er poisons are extremely toxic and should be used with caution. There were two cattle deaths in July which in my opinion, could very well have been caused by one or more of the insecticides. I called in the State Department of An- imal Disease Control and a sample was taken but the State Laboratory was unable to determine cause of death. The cattle count taken during the last of December produced the following totals: 149 cows, 72 heifers, 2 bulls, 62 swine, 24 horses, 5 ponies, 18 goats and 44 sheep. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. CHASE Animal Inspector 233 Report of THE BOARD OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1956 The Board of Health again has had a busy year. Sev- eral problems have been attacked and at least a beginning made to their solution. The happy thing is that the polio incidence was very low this year. One cannot be certain whether the inoculations produced this as, Cape Cod, in the experience of this Board of Health, has had a very low incidence of polio during the summer season for the past twenty-five years. We undertook a mass inoculation program this year and .since so many people were helpful with so many of the doctors, nurses and volunteers giving up their time, the Secretary .of the Board would like, at this time, to insert their names in the Board of Health Re- port. We have checked and re-checked the list. At the out- set let us apologize to anybody whose name was inadver- tently omitted. If this be the case, our deep thanks go to all who helped—named and unnamed. Mr. Robert Chase worked like a demon to arrange the clinics; to have the vaccine on hand; to have the records up to date; to arrange all the clinics and to contact all the Doctors. The efficiency and rapidity with which the shots were given is in no small part due to his careful, conscientious planning. The Board of. Health would like to thank the following Doctors: Dr. Donald E. Higgins Dr. Keith Rapp Dr. Robert Bell Dr. Harry Sobel Dr. Joseph Robinson Dr. Robert Watt Dr. Frank Garran Dr. Forrest Beam Dr Frank Travers Dr. Earle Webster Dr. James Chute Dr. George Bourne Dr. Robert Thrope and for his fine cooperation in helping us with the records and supplying the vaccine, Dr. Fred Moore. 234 Without the following nurses and helpers the clinics would have taken twice as long and been very tiring. With the ladies' fine female touch, the cries of the small chil- dren were kept to a minimum. We should like to thank Mesdames Julio Renzi, Carlton Pooler, William Bears.e, Barbara Bowers, Paul Nerbonne, Stuart Stevens, Cedric Sears, Albert Scarameili, Mrs. Paul Dore, Mrs. John Hinck- ley, Mrs. Francis Lahteine, Mary Jo Boyne, Mrs. Louise Fane, Mrs.. Robert Cross, Jr., Mrs. Edward Morin, Mrs. Melba Gilbert. Without the help of the trained public health nurses headed by Miss Margaret. Cooper, we would have had many organizational difficulties. We should like to thank Miss Mary Susich, Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Gertrude Childs and Miss Ethel Aikens. For advice about sterilizing and help in pack- ing the syringes and needles we turned to Mrs. Dorothy Brune, who is head operating room nurse at the Cape Cod Hospital. The Hospital helped to sterilize the syringes, gave us methods of packing them and when we ran short of needles and syringes they kindly supplied extras. For this, we would like to thank Miss Ethel Barton, Superintendent of Nurses and Mr. Francis ti a,nBuren, Administrator of the Hospital. The Board of Health has listed these people because when free clinics are to be run, it's something more than simply an idea over the television or in the newspapers. We have to depend on nurses, friends and doctors. These peo- ple unstintingly gave their service, and I am sure the Town is 2,ra.teful to them. The so-called "Third Shot" will be given during Jan- uary and February. After a discussion with the Doctors in the Town of Barnstable, it was decided to run several more clinics in each village, so that everybody will have the opportunity to have a polio shot whether they are able to afford it or not. The Board of Health feels that the care of children and the giving of shots belongs in the hands, for the most part, of the family doctors. However, since the Board of Health is con'eerned with mass immunization and havia- a high percentage of immunized people, we have decided to work with the doctors in the various villages to give everybody an opportunity. It is too early to say whether they are 100% effective but the Board of Health, which has been somewhat reluctant to endorse them in the 235 past, now feels that it can be safely said that the inocula- ti-on of the polio vaccine is not harmful. When the last re- port was written this was still a question mark. It is to be hoped the Salk vaccine will live up to its advance billing and if it does, we can be justly happy that one more disease has been conquered. The Board of Health wants to feel that by nest summer it has made every effort to produce a high percentage of immunized young people in the Town of Barnstable. The second problem which is being discussed with Dr. Watt, the school physician; Miss Aikens, the school nurse; and with the Doctors is a consideration for a semi-perma- nent covered immunization card which the parents can have and keep on all their children. When a child is inoculated, it seems that a. service-type immunization record should not only be kept in the doctor's office, which is usually the case, but also the mother should have a record on her chil- dren. This is immediately available in case of accident, for booster shots; it's immediately available if the family is travelling or changing doctors; and it saves a great deal of telephone calling or worry as to whether the children have been inoculated. When a satisfactory form is decided upon, the Board of Health will print up some type of record to be distributed to the doctors and to the various clinics. The Dental Clinic has been busy. The same problems as to the scope of its work arise, but the Board of Health feels that it should continue its present budget until the Town decides how much of an attack should be made on this dental problem. We have had wonderful cooperation from the District Nursing Association and as mentioned before, their tire- less work was a great help in organizing the vaccine clinics. The amount of money invested in this fine nursing associa- tion brings many unseen and untold benefits and blessings to the Town. Mrs. Anna Caskin has been her usual calm, helpful and diplomatic self. Her records and work in the office have been thorough and so complete they give th^ mem- bers of the Board of Health no worry. We are grateful to her. It has been customary to thank all. the people with 236 i whom we work and when one includes the Agent, Mr. Chase; the Inspector of Plumbing, Mr. George Churchill; the Den- tal Clinic; the County Health Departments; and the various Town offices, we can say with great sincerity that every- body has been most, helpful to the Board of Health. The following communicable diseases were reported to the Board of Health: Mumps 3 Measles 2 Chickenpox 30 Poliomyelitis 2 German measles 12 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 4 Scarlet Fever 1 There were 71 dog bites reported. REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR During the year of 1956, there were 624 Plumbing per- mits issued, many were for stores and motels in the various villages of the Town. As the year ends I find that the Cotuit and Barnstable Village schools are nearly completed as far as the plumb- ing is concerned. The new High School has most of the basic plumbing installed, with only the fixtures and water supply to be completed. Here I would like to bring to the attention of the residents of the Town, the well planned Vocational section of the school. It will give many of the young people here in Town a chance to learn a trade with- out leaving the Cape, as was necessary in former years. In the past year, I have attended many meetings in the. various sections of the State sponsored by the New Eng- land Association of Plumbing Inspectors. These sessions are held to better acquaint the Inspectors with the many problems that confront them due to the newer types of in- stallations such as swimming pools, motels, shopping cen- ters and places of Public Assembly. Also all new materials used in the sanitary systems undergo rigid tests before their use is allowed. 237 Again I wish at this time to thank all the Town De- partments, also the plumbers for the cooperation I received from them in the past year.

Our routine work has followed much the same pattern as in previous years; first come our home visits for bedside nursing which includes giving hypodermic medi- cation of many kinds, then our visits for health supervision to all age groups, many of these are of a follow-up nature from the various clinics held in this town. Our total visits in Barnstable were 3.164. Our Well-Child conferences have been held each month excepting, August and in January we had our annual Eye clinic for the school children; all premature babies are re- ported to us by the hospital and we make one or more home visits to learn about their home conditions and their progress in growth and development. During the year we assisted with the Community Chest X-ray program, also with the Blood Bank and our greatest 239 effort was our participation in the Polio program. In April and again in July we set up clinics in all the schools for the purpose of giving the first and second shots of. the Salk vaccine. We are greatly indebted to the Cape Cod Hospital for their timely help in sterilizing the supplies for these clinics. We are also indebted to the members of the Grad- uate Nurses Club who along with the Doctors -volunteered their services for the clinics. To all other health agencies we extend appreciation for their unfailing cooperation and good will. Respectfully submitted, District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis MARGARET J.

BEARSE, Chairman HARRY L. JONES JOHN 0. NILES,_MD., Secretary 240 Deport of The Barnstable County Health Department For the Year 19b6 Following the unusually large outbreak of poliomye- litis, which we experienced in this County during the year 1955, it was not surprising that when poliomyelitis vaccine became available for our children last winter, many parents were anxious to have their children vaccinated. The doctors of the County at a meeting of the Barn- stable County District Medical Society, passed a resolu- tion offering their services to give the vaccine in clinics, if the health authorities would purchase the vaccine. All vaccine used was purchased by the use of funds appropriated by the Federal and State Governments, as well as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Organization of clinics was carried out by public health nurses and personnel of Boards of Health and School De- partments. Volunteer help was furnished by many nurses and others. Commendation is due all those who contributed to the success of the program. By the end of the year, 14,295 persons in the County constituting 27.1% of the total population had received the vaccine. There were 13,970 individuals who received two doses of the vaccine and 28,265 doses were given. Our rec- ords show that 59.8% of persons under 30 years of age, and 82.2% of persons under 20 years of age have been vac- cinated. Fluoridation Hof water supplies,.another far reaching preventive measure has been actively discussed in three towns of the county. This procedure can prevent more than 60% of the dental caries now occurring in excessive amounts on Cape Cod. As of November 1, 1956, there were 241 in the United States 1432 communities with a total popula- tion of over 30,000,000 people where fluoridation is in oper- ation. This measure is strongly.recommended to all Towns where a public water supply is available.

County Health Offcor 243 Report of BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY January 15, 1957 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The Barnstable Housing Authority has continued oper- ating its 40 house .Project 200-1 at Bearse's Way for the year 1956. The major undertaking and improvement for the year was, in our opinion, the replacement of the poorly operating fuel hot-water heaters by the more efficient and less trouble- some electric hot water tank system. We have had problems with a number of cesspools which we are endeavoring to correct by constant attention to those in need of cleaning. 1956 has proven to be a less successful year in rentals. We have had a relatively small but larger number of vacan- cies than in previous years. However, we expect this sit- uation to be remedied as the project is now open for rental to non-veterans and widows meeting the qualifications as set forth by the State. In December of this year we were unfortunate in re- ceiving the resignation of Mr. Arthur Linnell, our project manager. Due to other commitments, Mr. Linnell informed ns that he would be unable to fulfill his obligations as man- ager and felt it his duty to resign. The Authority received applications and appointed Mr. Fred Melchoir of Hyannisport as manager. We are confident that Mr. Melchoir's qualifications and present performanee will prove our choice to be justifiable. The Authority made payment to the Town of Barn- stable in lieu of taxes for the year 1956 in the amount of 244 $1440.00. As of December 31, 1956 there `were 38 tenants at Project 200-1, leaving 2 vacancies. Admission and Continued Occupancy Limits for the Project are $3650.00 and $3900.00 respectively for families with less than three minor dependents; and $3900.00 and $4300.00 respectively for families with three or more minor dependents. Rentals are based on income. Respectfully submitted, Stephen B. O'Brien, Jr., Chairman Irving Poll, Vice Chairman E. Joslin Whitney, Secretary Thomas Milne, Treasurer David Rockwood, Ass't. Treasurer 245 1956 Report of the PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION During the year 1956 the suin of $22,082.49 was ex- pended by this Commission in the Town of Barnstable. Through extensive use of our various properties, a comp- rehensive schedule of programs, financial and advisory assistance to other recreational groups, the Commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in the various villages of the town. Ten regular, and six special meetings were held; and the beaches, buildings, and areas within our jur- isdiction were frequently inspected. In September Mr. Sidney V. Wright resigned as Director of Recreation after eleven years' service. We are grateful for Mr. Wright's many years' untiring efforts. Mr. Victor Woodruff was appointed to that office in October. Mr. Woodruff is a graduate of Princeton University and former Superintendent of Schools in Whippary, N. J. In October we were saddened by the death of Mr. John D. W. Bod- fish. Mr. Bodfish was one of the original members of the Commission, and had served continuously since its incep- tion in 1942. The basketball leagues for boys and girls and the men's volley ball leagues were well-attended during the winter months. Our square dance program for children has been extremely popular. They were held outdoors during the summer in addition to the fall-winter-spring sessions at the high school. We were happy to assist the Barnstable Little League, the Pony League, the Cotuit A. A. Baseball Team, and the Barnstable Townies Athletic Association by providing them with various types of equipment. Swimming and water safety programs were conducted at Hathavrays Pond, Joshua's Pond, Lewis Bay Beach, Veteran's Memorial Park, Loop Beach, Ropes Beach, and Sandy Neck. The attendance at these beaches was excellent, particularly at Sandy Neck, which appears to be increasing in popularity each season. The Centerville Center has been renovated and a por- tion of it is leased to the U. S. Government as a post office. The most perplexing situation that confronts this Commission is the lack of adequate indoor recreational facil- 246 ities in the village of Hyanuis. It has always been our policy to provide some form of recreation in each of the villages, even though on a very limited basis in most eases. We rent Freedom Hall in Cotuit, the Barnstable Woman's Club Building in Barnstable, Parish Hall in Marstons Mills, and the Community Building in West Barnstable for our pro- grams in those villages. The Community Center in Oster- ville and the• former elementary school in Centerville are under our jurisdiction, and are used in those areas. In Hyannis we have been using some of the rooms in the former Maritime Building. In addition to these localized "village programs", there are the larger programs such as basket- ball, volley ball, square dance programs, and teen age dance programs which are attended by people from the entire town; and which require a large floor area for successful operation. We are using the Barnstable High School Gym, Legion Hall, and the Maritime Building for these programs However, none of these buildings are•under our jurisdiction, and therefore are available only at certain times and on a Very limited basis. It becomes more apparent each year that a modern recreation building should be erected in Hyannis. Such a building would not only serve as a place to hold our large programs, but also as a much-needed Recreation Center for the village of Hyannis, which, al- though the most densely populated area, has no available center. At this writing, the skating rink, being presented to the town by the Kennedy Foundation, is progressing rapidly and should be in operation this spring. The Barn- stable Little League Field and Hyannis Elementary School are adjacent to this project. It is our earnest belief that what is now needed to complete the• recreational picture in that area is a building where athletic and social activities ea.n be held. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments,,the• churches, and civic organizations for their whole-hearted co.-operation during the past year.

Savery 247 Report of Department of Veterans' Services TOWN OF BARNSTABLE District Board: Selectmen—Victor F. Adams, Barnstable; Howard B. Monroe, Yarmouth; Earle M. Davidson, Dennis. The Department of Veterans' Services has found it necessary to aid more veterans and their dependents this past year than ever before. This was brought about in sev- eral ways. The most obvious was the weather during early 1956 when building and outside work was at a standstill for nearly four months. With a veteran population of nearly one million in Massachusetts, and approximately 7500 .of them on the Cape, it is only reasonable to expect an increased aid program when weather conditions afford so little means of work during the winter season. Cases aided by this department with the State .re- imbursing one-half the amount-.— Direct veteran aid 10 Out of Town Settled cases 2 Widows and Dependent Parents 6 Hospital cases 7 Hospitalization This service has increased considerable in the past year for both World War I, World War II, and Korean vet- erans, also their dependents. We all realize the increase in the cost of hospital care and this means that many of the older parents have to seek aid to cover these costs. Fifty Massachusetts Korean Bonus applications have been processed by this office during the ,year. Education The 84th Congress passed a bill which is known as the War Orphan Educational Program, or Public Law 634. 248 The veterans must have died of injuries or diseases resulting from their military service. Children between the ages of 18 and 23 years whose deceased parents served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict may apply. In some instances, children will be permitted to begin school before their eighteenth birthday and to finish after their twenty-third. Education may be taken in colleges and universities, as well below-college-level schools, but regular high school training isn't included in the new law, and below-college- level courses must equip students for definite vocational objectives. Subsistance from the Veterans Administration is $110.00 per month while in college. The State of Massachusetts also aids this same program by allowing, under Section 7B of Chapter 69, of the Gen- eral Laws, as amended, a maximum of $750.00 per year, to- wards expenses of higher education. Requests for applica- tion, instructions and information should be sent to:— The Commission of Education 200 Newbury Street, Boston, Mass. Att. Miss Mary E. McKay. Other assistance given to veterans and their dependents through this office the past ,year were serviced by Ezra J. Swift, the Veterans Administration contact Officer, and are as follows:— Veterans' Pension applications 62 Widows' Pension applications 31 Dependent Parents Pension applications 6 P.L. 550 Education and Training applications 74 Mr. Swift is in this office the first three Thursdays of each month for Insurance, Pension and Claims purposes. In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to the Selectmen and other departments of the Town for their cooperation in securing records and other data when re- quested. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MILNE, Director and Agent 249 Report of THE PARK COMMISSION At the Annual Town Meting and subsequent special Town Meetings, a total of $14,000. was appropriated for the operation of the Park Department. In 1956, the number of areas under the supervision of the Commission were more than tripled by the transfer of various existing Memorial Squares and the Construction of new Memorials to the various son's of Barnstable who gave their lives in World War II. VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK—Ocean Street, Hyannis. This year this area was restricted, and residents and their guests required stickers. All others paid a parking fee. The revenue from these fees amounted to $1,083.50. The popularity of this seaside park is attested to by the following records of the number of cars entering. Highest day-August 5 292 Highest Week-August 13 -19 1,321 Non-residents for season 2,267 Residents for season 7,151 The swimming classes and water safety program was continued in co-operation with the Playground and Recre- ation Commission. These classes are very popular with our children and have a large attendance. The picnic area was in constant use and seemed to be almost as popular as the beach. The adjoining area,formerly called Camp Howes, has been annexed to Veteran's Memorial Park. The small build- ings were sold at auction and removed. The former Admin- istration building is to be utilized in the program for this park. The entrance road was widened and repaved, and 1,400 feet of curbing was installed as well as 13 post lanterns. We recommend the continued improvement of this popular park to better serve the needs of those thousands that continue to use it more and more each year. RALPH P. BISMORE MEMORIAL PARK,—Ocean Street, Hyannis This park is still the favorite of the fishing and boat- ing enthusiasts and also people that just like to watch the boats and the fishermen come and go. 250 We have installed electrical and water facilities along the bulkhead for use by the boats. A set of scales was also installed for weighing fish. Bids have been let for the construction of the three fingerpiers for which the town voted $3,500. These will be ready for use this coming season. This will complete the expansion of the docking facilities in this area.. With this addition, we expect to continue to operate under eaowded conditions because of the small number of berths available. We recommend that steps be taken to relieve this sit- nation elsewhere in this report. We also recommend that parking meters be installed for better control of the area. ELIZABETH LOWELL PARK—Cotuit The ball field is the home of the only regular ball team fielded by the Town. The attendence to its games is good. It was necessary to make extensive repairs to the grand- stand this year. A nen and larger backstop was also erected. It is recommended that nominal improvements be con- tinued here. ALL OTHER PARKS All other parks, beaches, squares, memorials and his- torical markers under our jurisdiction and located in every village in the town have received the care and maintenance that each individual requirement seemed to indicate. GENERAL The demands for service today against a short ten rears ago have been reflected in the operation of the Park Depart- ment. For instance, in 1948, we spent $24.00 for water, nothing for electricity, and nothing for rubbish removal. Whereas, in 1956, we spent $914.51 for water and electricity and $200.00 for rubbish removal. Even with the large increase in areas to be maintained, we expect to operate with the same number of permanent employees that this department had in 1948 and with only one or two temporary employees during the summer months. We wish to call your attention to operations of the dock facilities at Ralph P. Bismore Memorial Park. The bulkhead was built in 1934, and nine finger piers have been built more recently-. The revenue to the town from fees collected are averaging about $2,200.00 per year. In the last few years, this facility has been crowded. Due to the limited amount of water area in the immediate vicinity, this place does not lend itself to any further expansion. 251 We, therefore, are recommending that the town con- struct a somewhat similar facility on land presently owned by the town at the foot of Lewis Bay Road. If this is done, the following will be obtained. 1. The natural resources already owned by the town will be utilized to their best advantage. 2. The site is more accessable to boats. 3. • The site lends itself to more economic construction than any other area. 4. The need of additional docking facilities has been demonstrated each summer for several years. 5. We believe that properly operated, the revenue obtained from fees will repay the town's share of the cost in about fifteen years. In addition to the direct income noted above, there is an indirect income to the various stores, shops, restaurants, etc., in the town that is variously estimated from $25.00 to $100.00 per day per boat, depending on its size. We do not believe this boat facility to be a substitute for a Marina for Hyannis. However, it will postpone the need for a Marina for at least five years. This should give the town time enough to choose a site and have a proper en- mineering survey made and plans drawn for a Marina in keeping with the town's requirements, and its pocketbook. At this time, the Commission wishes to thank the other Town Departments, Civic and Community organizations . and many individuals for their cooperation and support during the year. Charles N. Savery, Chairman Warren W. Cook Adolph 0. Richards IN MEMORIAM RAYMOND L. CASH and IRVING F. COLEMAN Employees of the Town of Barnstable Park Commission Died on February 9, 1957 and December 9, 1956 They both served faithfully in their duties as Park Custodians. It is with deep regret that we record their passing. 252 REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT January 1.0, 1957 To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare Barnstable, 'Massachusetts I submit hereivith, the report of the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1956. Each year brings increased expenditures in our Public Assistance Progran-is throughout the Commonwealth. These increases are clue to the cxpausion and liberalization of the programs by legislation, both Federal and State. The past year the rate of patients at Tewksbury State Hospital increased from $24.87 to $28.67 per week. At the Cape Cod Hospital the cost per patient day increased from $14.00 to $1S20 in 1956; and, as of Jan. 1, 1957 the rate is $1S.24 per day. Other hospitals throughout the Common- wealth that we use are as high as $22.85 per day. It is I to comprehend that any person would have to pay $22.85 per day for hospital services, to say nothing of a welfare case. These rates are based on the operational costs determined by the Commissioner of Adminstration for the Commonwealth. Effective on July- 1, 1956 the cost of living allowance was increased from 14.2jo to 20°'o in all categories of assistance. As I view the Public Assistance Proarams today I see very little hope of any decreases of expenditures in the future, but, rather a continual increase. I would like to see a concentrated effort on the part of all civic organizations in the toi`-n to bring some light manufacturing industry into the town. There are many small concerns starting in the field of electronics who employ and train unskilled help, both men and Nvomen, that might be induced to start here thereby, providing work for the young people who graduate from high school who have to leave the Cape to find gainful employment. It is nice to attract summer visitors to spend their vacations with us; but, -%vith the influx of summer visitors comes the itinerant worker and his family who after the summer season is over has no work but does not care to return to where he came from, instead they seek assistance from the torn. In such cases, we are reimbursed by the 253 town 'of settlement, or the state, but the money spent on these cases first has to be supplied by tax appropriations. Reimbursements are payable to the Town Treasurer, but sometimcs reimbursements are not received until the fol- lowing year. I offer the above to partially explain some of the rea- sons for ever mounting increases in Public Assistance Pro- grams today. The personnel of the Department for 1956 consisted of the following: Jan. 1, 1956 Dec. 31, 1956 Agent 1 1 Social Workers 3 3 Senior Clerk 1 1 Junior Clerks 3 3 GENERAL RELIEF o^ m cd,� cd yd m �c.• � � c3 O O'C O O.O- c3 N u U-� -^- Hd H HU (Jti a (_j 60 144 102 162 102 60 120 $48,534.90 Other Towns, Administrative 7,860.56 Total Paid $56,395.46 INFIRMARY (Lombard Home) Women Men Inmates at the IIome, 1/1/56 5 4 Inmates Admitted during the year 1 1 Inmates Discharged during the year 2 3 Inmates at the Home, 12/31/56 4 2 Inmates Days in Home (Total) 2402 Cost per Inmate Day $5.19 EXPENDITURES AT THE INFIRMARY Salaries (Supt. and Matron) $2,100.00 Shoes and Clothing 133.80 Medical 1,383.38 Hay and Grain 314.73 Fuel 918.88 Electric Lights 349.63 Telephone 209.95" Repairs and Building 3,647.37 254 Food 3,193.98 Miscellaneous 232.80 $12,484.52 General Relief 56,392.06 $68,876.58 Reimbursements by State, Other Towns and Individuals (not useable funds) 17,660.73 NET COST TO TOWN $51.,215.85 This year the heating system was changed from the burning of coal to oil and a.n oil burner was installed.; also, the purchase of a. deep freoze unit for food storage. This accounts for some of the increase of cost of operation of the home this year.

In September 1956 the formula for claiming reimbursement changed from 50�0 of $55.00 plus $7.50 per case to 50% of $60.00 plus $9.00 per case in -our Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance categories. This change of course helps to lessen the cost at the local level. Medical costs are almost unbelieveable. In the month of August this year Welfare Boards through- out the Commonwealth spent $3,003,604.00 for Medical Care and-$2,956,167.00 in September. This town spent $7,249.38 for Medical Care in the month of February. Only those con- nected with Wclfare Programs realize this tremendous ex- pense.

In September the form for reimbursement also changed in this category from 50% of money expended not in excess of $30.00 per month plus $4.50 each recipient and $21.00 each additional child, to 50% of money expended not in excess of $32.00 per month plus $5.50 each recipient and $23.00 per month plus $5.50 each additional child. These increases may appear small; but, when you consider that the Aid to Dependent Children category is the most vulnerable to instant increases, any in- crease in reimbursement is most welcome.

Each case has to be approved by a Medical Review Team at the State level. In industrial areas this is an active category of assistance; but, 256 this is not true in the Cape area. The greatest number of cases at one time on our rolls was 17 individuals.

Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. LEVINE, SR. Agent 257 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS January 2, 1957 Board of Selectmen Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The following is the annual report of the Board of Appeals of the Town of Barnstable, with respect to activity during the calendar year 1956: During the past year, a total of thirty-one applications for .variances or special permits were filed, and twenty- nine were decided. Of this number, eighteen were granted, some with conditions or restrictions in conformity with the general purposes of the zoning law. Of the applications or petitions denied, most violated the general purpose of the zoning law in one or more particulars, particularly with reference to the requirement of proof of hardship, demand- ed by the basic State law. Certain members of the public are still slow to recog- nize that variances may be granted only where conditions affecting a particular parcel of land in a zoning district involve substantial hardship, not affecting the district gen- erally, AND where relief may be granted without substan- tial detriment to the public good and without derogating from the intent and purpose of the zoning by-law adopted at the Town meeting. The element of financial hardship is not material and is not recognized as a factor by the State law, by which the Board of Appeals is bound. There has been a gradual increase in public knowledge and acceptance of zoning as a whole, however. It is not yet recognized by citizens of the Town that the present by-law is so flexible that an excellent and workable zoning program may be worked out for all sections of the Town and all parts of the various villages within the Town. It is our earnest recommendation that zoning in the various villages be carefully studied, with the assistance and spe- cial knowledge offered by the Town Planning Board, to the end that the zoning by-law may benefit the greatest number ,of Town residents, and resort to the Board of Appeals be required in fewer cases. JOSEPH H. BEECHER, Chairman GEORGE H. MELLEN, JR. ROWLEY J. BROCKWAY 258 THE JOHN JENKINS WILDLIFE RESERVATION The year 1956 at John Jenkins Reservation has pre- sented some difficulties. First, and most serious was the loss of the quiet, wise guidance of the donor, Miss Elizabeth Jenkins. Then, as the Spring planting of Fall plants began, we became conscious of the unusually wet season. A good time to set out plants if one could reach the planned location! Boots were indicated as never before. This early work finished, we sat back to await the drain- ing away of this excess water, but found, to our dismay, that this did not happen. Whether new channels had opened from surrounding swamplands, or whether it was a new high for the water- shed is any one's guess. Maybe a bit of both. But the fact remains it has kept some of our paths well nigh impassable all summer, and fall, and has become our major problem. A solution is finally in prospect and we expect to fin- ance the work with funds that were raised last fall by the sale of food at the Library in Hyannis. This sale was put through by the several Garden Clubs of the town, Mrs. P. Pineo Jenkins and Mrs. Norman' Cahoon, both of West Barnstable, acting as co-chairmen. Those who are familiar with our Reservation feel that it is definitely acquiring a pattern of shape and beauty. Shade-draped paths rimmed with tall ferns are cooly re- warding to the Nature seeker. Many of the natural plantings have been added to, and we find several of the more showy wildlings such as Cardinal flower and Turtle head, those by their own seeding, increased the size of their colonies. This coming Spring two white flowering dog-wood trees (Cornus Florida), which have. been donated by the Hyannis and Osterville Garden Clubs, respectively, will be planted as a Memorial to Miss Jenkins. They will stand only a short distance from the entrance gate. Hattie Blossom Fritze Mrs. Alfred Neves Mrs. Nelson Bearse Mr. and Mrs. Roger Lyon Miss Ruth Cummer Mrs. P.

This we did by 14 talks before various groups with- in the Town. Town Meeting was a memorable date for the Airport, as then we started the much needed expansion. A separate report on this follows this report. Traffic at the Airport was off, clue to poor weather conditions during the spring and summer. This fact is re- flected in the manager's report and the financial report. We had two mishaps this year which ivere very- un- fortunate. The first was the fire of April 19th in which ive lost most of our administration building. The Town received approximately $11,000 fire insurance for the loss, however; the Commission felt it was best to makeshift in temporary quarters at a cost of $5,000 this year as we are building the new building. The second mishap was the tragic mid- air collision on August 25th. We had 302 landings and take- offs on this day. Since this accident your Commission has applied for a C.A.A. control tower at. the Airport. However, it does not appear likely that we will get it. We do not feel this is an item we should try to handle ourselves clue to the extreme high cost. We were sorry to lose James Brophy as a member of the Commission as his counsel on insurance and land matters were very valuable. However, we were happy to have. Paul D. Reed and Lennox Bodman join our ranks. Respectfully submitted, Arthur F. Clarke, Chairman H. Heyworth Backus Louis R. Adams Paul D. Reed Lennox Bodman 260 REPORT ON EXPANSION PROGRAM Article 37 and Article 38 of the 1956 Town Meeting opened the sway to the large expansion program for aviation on Cape Cod. In Article 37 the Town authorized the Air- port Commission to tape parcels of land to the northeast of the airport for the extension of the runway and to pro- vide a clear zone which in effect prevents future erection of anything which will block the northeast entrance to the runway. There appears to be certain legal inadequacies in the motion of this article so our Town counsel will prob- ably have an article in this next Town Meeting to correct these inadequacies. Article 38 authorized the Commission to extend the northeast-southwest, runway, move the Cape & Vineyard Hy- lines, and to construct a new terminal building and area. Fa,y, Spofford & Thorndike, an engineering company of Boston, was employed and they in turn engaged Richard Sears Gallagher. as architect. Since March, plans have been drawn, surveying completed and more exact estimates made. As you know the Federal Government, through the C.A.A., will pay for one half of this project and the Common- wealth, through M.A.C., will pay for one quarter. The past year has been taken up with a great many delays and changes of plans,.-which usually happens when dealing with State and Federal agencies. Several things now appear certain, first the terminal building will be start- ed early this spring and be ready for the fall. Second, the runway will be extended in time for summer use. Third, with the rising costs of materials and lack of information in our preliminary estimates of a year ago, we are going to fall short on our money and will have to have an Article in the 1957 Town Meeting for additional funds. Several other observations may be made at this time. First, we have been very fortunate in signing an operator for the restaurant in the new building which will greatly relieve the tax burden to the Town on the operating expense of this building. Second; since Northeast Airlines now have their route to the south we have been assured of flights from Hyannis to New York, Philadelphia. and Washington, which will be a tremendous asset to Cape Cod; and third, it appears necessary that we bring into Town Meeting this 261 year, an Article which will limit the heighth of buildings of the southwest end of the northeast-southwest runway, i. e., across Route 28 and Barnstable Road and the Ridgewood area. We feel everyone will agree that this is a sound meas- ure for the future. Summarizing, we feel that, when completed, we will have an airport which will be one of the best in the north- east, and Cape Cod and the Town will be in a wonderful position to serve our property owners of today and tomor- row. Arthur F. Clarke, Chairman H. Heyworth Backus Louis R. Adams Paul D. Reed Lennox Bodman BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MANAGER'S ANNUAL REPORT Northeast Airlines, Inc. carried a total of 27,926 passen- gers on 1,877 flights. Cape & Islands Flight Service, Inc. carried 4,039 passengers and 797,872 pounds of freight to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. They also gave 88 hours to student instruction_ Flying, In.c. totaled 638 hours of, student flying and instruction time. Private and commercial aircraft visiting the Airport in 1956 totaled 1,831. Of these planes 1,113 were single en- gine planes and 718 were multi engine. They carried 9,338 passengers. Sales of aviation gasoline by the Airport show 60,296 gallons of 80 octane, 23,727 gallons of 91 octane and 53,786 gallons of 100 octane for a total of 137,811.2 gallons. 848.29 gallons of aviation oil were sold. These figures are below last years because of low ceilings and poor visibility in July. Northeast Airlines alone showed a decrease of 1,086 passen- gers in July. However, they showed an increase of 457 pas- sengers in February, April, September, November and De- cember. It is gratifying to see this off season increase. 262 Airport Receipts Reserved For Appropriation Receipts Balance Appropriated $65,929.83 Jan. 1, 1956 $ Bal.

Two Tuna Tournaments were held from August 26th through September 3rd. These tournaments attracted thirty- one boats and fifty-eight individuals from six different states. These tournaments received nation wide publicity through the Associated Press. The Town of Barnstable Bluefish and Codfish Tourna- ment was held from September 4th to September 30th. This tournament had 139 entrants, of which 60% were non-res- idents. Several nice letters were received by the committee, complimenting the town on the sportsman-like tournament, and thanking• the town for their prizes. News stories were printed daily and weekly in over two hundred newspapers, as well as in five national sport magazines. The committee wishes to thank those who used their places of business as weighing in stations, those who served as officials, and Mr. Samuel Kesten for the donation of signs, and also the La.hteine Sign Co. for painting them.

Cook Harland L. Matthews Leonard W. Peck Adolphe 0. Richards Robert L. Jones Committee 265 Report of THE TOWN COUNSEL To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for the year 1956. Toast year I specifically mentioned three cases which were then undisposed of and pending. The first was the case of the zoning appeal which concerned land owned by Pen- dergast at Craigville Beach. A few years back on appeal to the Superior Court from a denial of a variance by the Appeal Board, a variance was granted by the Superior Court to the land owners. This case was appealed to the Supreme Judicial Court by the Appeal Board and property owners in the vicinity. The decision of the Supreme Judicial Court reversed the action of the Superior Court and con- firmed the decision of the Appeal Board denying the variance. In the case which was pending last year the Appeal Board had granted a variance covering the same land and the Superior Court upheld this action. This case was then taken by property owners in the vicinity on appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court. The decision of the Supreme Judi- cial Court reversed that of the Superior Court and also that of the Board of Appeals. The law in this case and in other recent cases seems now to be very clear on the subject of the granting of variances by an appeal board. In fact it is so clear that the result in my opinion is that very seldom, if ever, is the granting of a variance warranted except un- der most unusual circumstances. The Appeal Board must find hardship to the owner of the property which does not exist in the case of other lands within the zoned district, it must also find that the granting of a variance would not be detrimental to the area and that the granting of such a variance does not nullify or derogate from the intent and purpose of the zoning by-law. When my report was made last year there was pending the so-called Searoad case. This was an action brought to test the validity of a regulation made by the harbormaster attacking its reasonableness and also challenging the auth- ority of the harbormaster to make any regulation whatever excluding large commercial boats from navigating within a small portion of Hyannis Inner Harbor. The master who heard the case for the purpose of finding facts and report- ing these to the court made extensive findings which were 266 reported to you last year. There was also an attack made challenging the good faith of the master, asking for his removal and seeking a new trial. At the last term of Superior Court the master's report of facts was confirmed and all motions brought by the plaintiff were dismissed. There is still pending a final dismissal of the case and the matter of the revocation of a temporary order which now prevents enforcement of the regulation. I have been informed that no appeal will be taken. Under these circumstances I can see no point at present in insisting upon the immediate revoca- tion of the order as there will be little congestion in this area until we near the summer months. Last year I reported that the town was involved in a case of great importance in the Surrogates Court in New York. This was an action brought by the next of kin of Mary Lewis Kirkman contesting the validity of the gift to the town of her residuary estate. This case has been dis- posed of recently. It is not my intent to make a complete report on all of the complicated factual and legal ques- tions which were involved. Parties to the case were the next of kin, the town, the executor of the will, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth, the Attorney General of the State of New York and. the public administrator of the County of New York. In late December a settlement was finally reached. This agreement, among many other things, provides for a complete elimination now and in the future of any further claims being brought by the next of kin or their descendents against the funds. It provides that all of the balance of Mrs. Kirkman's estate be given to the town of Barnstable. This will amount to at least $1,500,000.00 to be kept in a permanent fund by the town to be known as the "Sidney A. Kirkman and Mary Lewis Kirkman Fund." The words of the bequest are as follows: "All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate whether real or personal, of whatever the same may consist and wheresoever situated, I give, devise and bequeath to the TOWN OF BARNS'TABLE, in the County of Barnstable, Commonwealth of Ma.sachu- setts, to be placed in an endowment fund to be known as the "SIDNEY A. KIRKMAN and MARY LEWIS KIRKMAN FUND" for the maintenance and beautification of that portion only of the COTUIT CEMETERY to the improvement of which my late husband, SIDNEY A. KIRKMAN, and I have heretofore contributed." 267 The following taken from the terms of the settlement agreement should prove in the future to be of great sig- nificance to the town. These words are as follows: the balance of the devise and bequest—is valid;that surplus income, if any, which may from time to time accrue to the TOWN OF BARNSTABLE is subject to cy pres application under the laws of Massachusetts and may be used for other ex- sively public purposes of the TOWN OF BARN- STABLE as may be authorized by judicial tribunal or administrative agency of Massachusetts having jurisdiction thereof at the time; and that the par- ties of the second part, their heirs, executors and administrators and assigns, have no interest in or claim to any share in any such surplus income, and no standing in any proceeding relating to the ap- plication of any surplus monies to other exclusively public purposes of the TOWN OF BARNSTABLE. A decree .of the Surrogate's Court adopting and ap- proving this agreement has been entered, releases have been executed by all of the heirs and all have been made a mat- ter of permanent record with the New Fork Court. Authen- ticated copies of the decree and the settlenint agreement have also been filed for permanent record with the Barn- stable Probate Court as have also original duplicates of the releases. During the last term of the Superior Court three actions against the town for injuries alleged to have been received from defective sidewalks were settled. An appeal from the decision of theAppeal Board has been dismissed by agreement. At the present time I do believe that in the ease of several suits which are pending against the torn that there is any chance of substantial damages being awarded. There is as I have reported to you befor.� much that is not included here but has occurred during the past year. It has for a number of .years been impossible for even my office to keep track of the time spent on the town's legal work. All of the town's officers, committees, boards, com- missions and employees continue to be very pleasant to work with most helpful in all respects. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH E.

Fraser, a teacher in the Barnstable Public Schools for twenty years, retired in June 1956. She began her teaching career in the Osterville School in 1926 and served as teacher of the third and fourth grades in that school until 1944. In 1954 she returned to the local school system as a teacher in the Ma.rstons Mills School. Mrs. Fraser will long be remembered as a conscientious teacher who was truly concerned with the welfare of each child who came under her jurisdiction. She always showed an excellent understanding of children and maintained a, happy and busy classroom where constructive teaching and learning took place. Although it is with regret that we note her retirement, we desire to express our true appreciation of her faithful service to the boys and girls of the Town of Barnstable and wish•for her many happy years of retirement. RAYMOND S. PERSON In June 1956, Raymond S. Person completed thirty- seven years of outstanding service as a teacher, thirty-one years of which were spent in the Barnstable High School. Mr. Person will always be remembered as the quiet business-like scienec teacher who for so many years pre- pared Barnstable High School pupils for college with an excellent background in science. A sincere interest in his work, unselfish efforts in behalf of his pupils and great skill in teaching, mark the career of Mr. Person. Recognition and appreciation of his long and faithful service to the Barnstable Public Schools is herewith re- corded and best wishes extended for many ,years of re- tirement. 272 Deport of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: One of the most important and inspiring tasks that is ours, as citizens and communities of a Commonwealth and a Country, is that of providing Public School Education for children from grade one through the Elementary Grades, Junior High School and Senior High School. The School Report indicates in part the many duties and details; the many people and the many problems; the buildings, the buses and the budget; as well as the accom- plishments and the aspirations that are all vital to a school system. The Barnstable school faculty now numbers more than one hundred in personnel. This number will be increased next fall. Additional teachers will be needed with the open- ing of the nejT/ High School. There will have to be a size- able increase in the janitorial staff to properly maintain the new b aiidings and grounds. additional. buses will be required. The new High School will fill a long existing need, alleviating croAvded conditions in the present Barnstable High School building; allowing the development of separate programs for Senior High student in the new building and for Junior High pupils in the present building; and afford- in" expansion of the courses given in the Vocational School. The grouping .of classrooms in various departments, with workr,00ms and facilities adjacent, will be one of the wel- comed features in the new High School building; as well as the further feature of the large gymnasium being sep- arate from the attractive auclitoriam so that both may be in use at the sane time. The present High School will be used nearly to the capacity of all desirable rooms by the Junior High enroll- ment in the fall and any upper elementary grades that may need to be accommodated there because of the crowded condition of the Hyannis Elementary School. 273 Additions and alterations are necessary at the element- ary schools in Osterville and Marstons Mills to provide proper facilities for the growing school population in those communities and to have those buildings on a par for the children in those communities with the favorable facilities being provided by you at the new Barnstable-Nest Barn- stable Elementary School and the new Cotuit School and which you previously provided through the Hyannis Elementary School and the Centerville Elementary School. Educational and architectural studies have been made to show how you may obtain individual classrooms for each grade at Marstons Mills and to show how you may provide a multi-purpose room, a serviceable cafeteria, offices and health room at each school. Requests have been received for the extension of the school program to include kindergarten children of five years of age, so that they may receive instruction the year prior to entering the first grade. It would seem that in fair- ness to all families of the Town that such a program should be introduced only after a room or rooms for a kinder- garten are available in each of the elementary schools in the T.owi . Pending being able to successfully re-arrange the rooms at the Hyannis Elementary School, such a pro- gram can be introduced, if desired by the Town, when the additions and alterations are made to the school buildings at Osterville and Marstons Mills as such rooms are pro- vided at Centerville, Cotuit, and Barnstable -West, Barn- stable. Your School Committee has been most conscientious and cooperative in striving to fulfill the responsibilities with which it is entrusted by the citizens of the Town and under the statutes of the Commonwealth. .The Committee held forty-six regular and special meetings during the year in order to give careful consideration to all matters relative to the administration of the schools, and to give complete oversight to the construction and furnishing of the new High School and the new elementary schools and to give thoughtful study to the survey of the school situation at Osterville and Marstons Mills. The present salary study being made of the salaries to be paid employees of the Town has been welcomed by the School Committee and the Committee believes it in the 274 Town's best interest that salaries and wages to the school's non-professional personnel. should compare favorably with the same paid by other departments of the Town The Salary Schedule for Teachers in the Town of Barn- f stable provided through the school budget at the last Town Meeting, places the School Department in a more favorable relationship with that of other Towns. The School Com- mittee's attention has been called to adjustments ,yet to be made in order for all teachers to be placed on the present Salary Schedule at their proper level. The school population in the Town of Barnstable as of this date is 2,503. Ten years ago the number of pupils en- rolled in the schools of the Town was 1,687. In 1928, the first year the present Chairman was a resident of the Town, the enrollment was 1,341. There is every indication that by 1958, less than two years hence, in this thirty-year period the school enrollment in the Town will have doubled. It is easy to see how this growth, has necessitated new buildings, more teachers, more buses, and the larger budget. The in- crease in the cost of living, rising prices and higher wages experienced in business, personally and publicly, is natur- ally reflected in the school budget. You will be interested to know that the budget as based on "Cost Per Pupil" is well within the line of the average "Cost Per Pupil" in the Commonwealth. The increased enrollment in our elementary schools has created a real need for additional supervisors. This year your Committee appointed an additional Supervisor of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools and en- larged the previous position of part-time Supervisor of Music in the Elementary Schools to a full-time position. These steps are most important in order to provide the supervision desired and deserved. Through your school buildings, your communities are .served as well as your children. Cultural, charitable and recreational interests are aided through the use of the facilities as the school schedule permits. This past year your School Committee affiliated with the Massachusetts Association of School Committees to which nearly every School Committee in the Commonwealth now belongs. The Association came into being so that 275 School Committees, with their many mutual interests, re- lated to Administration, Curriculum, Facilities, Salaries, Schools Costs and innumerable items, may share informa- tion for their challenging task and serve better their com- munity trust. Your School Committee is most mindful of the un- stinted service and the untiring efforts of the Superin- tendent of Schools, of the Secretary in the School Office who serves, too, as Secretary to the School Committee, and of the unselfish interest and devotion ,of the personnel with- in the school system, of people with whom the Committee has worked on the school projects, and of the citizens of the Town, and also of your confidence in the Committee's endeavors to work for the best interests of all, the pupils and .the public, the teachers and the taxpayers, and for good schools and for a better Society. Respectfully submitted, Carl Fearing Schultz, Chairman Jean G. Hinkle Ruben E. Anderson P. Gordon Nelson Eugene S. Cullum 270 A Message From The Superintendent of Schools Harvard H. Broadbent Included in this r•^port is a great deal of information i�,hich should be of vital interest and concern to the citizens of the Town of Barnstable. Your perusal and study of the various reports is urgent- Iv solicited as an interested citizenry is the only guarantee of good schools in a democracy. The pro -ress made by our schools during the past year is due in a large measure to the cooperation of the School Committee, citizens of the Town, and School Department. personnel. An examination of the Report of the School Committee reveals a total of forty-six meetings held during the past year. In addition there were frequent visits to new schools under construction both by the School Committee as a group and by individual members who have worked unselfishly in behalf of. the Town's new schools. I would like to expr.ss my appreciation to the mem- bers of the School Committee, School Department person- nel, other Town Departments who have assisted the School Departm-nt, citizens, parents, and pupils, as well as to the numerous organizations who have cooperated and assisted in the successful operation .of our schools durium the past year. 277 BARNSTABLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Hazel Knight, Supervisor The chief purpose of our elementary schools is to pro- vide a curriculum of experiences which enable our pupils to perform better those functions of life they will be called upon to exercise as members of the community, the state, and the nation. We intend to reveal in this report some of the experi- ences that appear to be the highlights in the elementary school program for this year. The nature of the materials, the activities reported in the various schools, and the actual settings in which the teaching and learning occur are such that we have not made an attempt to combine the reported information. Instead, we are submittting this material in tv�To sections. Section One includes miscellaneous practices that may be of general interest. Section T`wo includes the individual reports of each elementary school principal. Each section of the report will give a brief idea of some of the procedures and activities of the elementary schools and how we are making provision for growth through guided living in our schools. Formerly, the school was more concerned with con- formity to established patterns. Today, the pupil is guided through sequential experiences that develop his capacities and aid him in using the resources of his environment in learning. This does not indicate, as has been thought in the past, that all persons will or should learn exactly the same things in exactly the same way, or that all schools will offer the same identical experiences to their pupils through- out the school year. What we do hope to convey is that there are several basic functions of social living which must be performed by all, and that our schools should be organ- ized so that all pupils are continually experiencing along these lines. Through varied activities the pupils learn, dis- cuss, experience, execute, and evaluate, thereby achieving results that have meaning for them. Viewed,in this way edu- cation becomes growth through guided living at school. 278 t ..t a Children at work in one of our elementary schools SECTION ONE Our Testing Program Our testing program continues to be a functional phase of our school setup. It exists primarily to aid the teacher in understanding the indi.viclual child and in planning his progress. Tb� standardizcd tests we use are very helpful to us in ranking the pupils from high to low and in offer- ing standards wi.tb which to compare levels of ability or achievement. They enable us to see how well our children are doing in comparison with other children throughout the country. Our teachers make use of not only of st,and- a.rdizcd tests but of mr,ny types of informal tests to assist them in groupiii,• the children to the best advantage and in meeting the deeds of each individual child effectively. Reading readlincss tests are given to all first grade children. Group intelligence tests are administered to the pupils of grades, one, three, and five. Standard group achievement tests are riven in the spring to all children in the clementary cchocls. Individual intelligence, capacity, and achievement tests are given to those children who for one reason or another 279 did not respond in an eff etive way in the group test situa- tion, or who appear to be in need of further, intensive study. A thorough study is made of all test results. A com- parison of I. Q., Mental Age, and Achievement is made to determine whether each child is working up to his capacity. Some tests help us to locate specific difficulties, to deter- mine the cause of these limitations, and to plan corrective procedures. Comparisons are matte from spring to spring to locate children who did not show, a year's gain in the various subject matter fields, or who are not working up to grade and capacity levels. We try to capitalize on the child's interest, and poten- tialities, to strengthen his weaknesses; to challenge him to work up to capacity, and to prevent frustration and failure. Orientation Program For Grade Sig The transition from the elementary school to the junior high school is very frequently a difficult one for many children. In order to help the children make the adjust- ment easier, a definite plan of orientation has been worked out. In May or June each sixth grade was transported to the high school to become acquainted with the building, and to learn about the different procedures in vogue there, in contrast to the practices utilized in the elementary school situations in which the children have been located. With the cooperation of Mr. John Rodgers, the guidance director in the High School, the experience proved to be very educa- tional and appealing. Before meeting with Mr. Rodgers, the children were prepared adequately for the visit by their classroom teachers in their individual schools. When they returned various details of the visit were discussed in de- tail, and numerous ,opportunities were provided for them to learn about reading the schedule cards in use at the High School, and filling in properly the biographical cards that are presented to them upon admission to the seventh grade. Our Summer School Program Summer school sessions were continued with two classes located in the Hyannis Elementary School, two in the Marstons Mills School, and one in the Centerville School. Seventy-five children received instruction in reading four mornings a week for fire weeks, making a total of twenty mornings. 280 These children Were- selected from the first three a•rades and were youngsters who had been promoted to the nest grade but who needed additional directed instruction in reading to cope with ease and success the anticipated fall requirements. Our experience has shown that intensive study has been of great interest and value. Conservation and Natural science Course The children of the sixth grades of the 'Down of Barn- stable welcome Miss Ann Abbott enthusiastically when she makes her bi-monthly visits. Miss Abbott is a. science teacher from the Boston Audubon Society. She has brought stuffed animails, birds, plants, an.d minerals into the classroom to teach the identification and habits of the representatives of the three animal kingdoms. Through specimens, lectures, games, and films the boys and girls are acquiring an appre- ciation of their o-\vrr environment. This learning and appre- elation are the best bases for understanding the need for the conservation of natural. resources. Teachers and pupils of the sixth grades were deliahted when this course «vas in- troduced into orrr school program last October. Experience With Poetry Mane of our children have developed a sincere interest in poetry. Poetry is no longer limited to the reading class nor is it an incidental activity for the few extra minutes of the clay that are seldom available. Our Iveekly poetry- periods in many classrooms have become a time for true appreciation,and enjoyment of poems. Gradually the interest in poetry has grown until noNv many of the children are trying to create their own poems. The creative results of some are both interesting and worth- while. In reoormition of the budding interest in poetry the elementary supervisor wrote to the children of grades three through six, inviting tbem to share with her [he best of their original poems. A booklet was assembled and dupli- cated including many of these poems. These booklets were distributed to each classroom so that the children might enjoy the poetic attempts of other boys and girls in the schools of Barnstable. A Poetry Donor roll was assembled including the names of 102 children worthy of special recognition for their efforts. Each of these children were given a copy of this lionor roll and seemed to find the recognition stimu- Iating• and satisfying. Supplementary Instructional Materials Although we have courses of study and manuals for 281 s teaching, it is frequently necessary that these be supple- mented with further instructional materials. These materials not only mane for more effective teaching but do much to enrich the learning process. Among items Hof this nature that have been prepared and furnished for the teachers and children by the elementary supervisor are: 1. Finger Play Bulletins Finger plays for children were compiled for the t:,achers of grades one and two to use airing the the fall 11101-1ths, i'lieso not only provide fun for the children, but they also aid in the teaching of read- ing, number, music, physical education, and lan- guage. 2. Arithmetic Games A complete set of ten colorful teddy bears with ap- propriate flash cards was made for each teacher of the second grade for drill review of the arithmetic e0mbin'tions assigned to that grade. �♦, is�,� ,aS�gA�' Wn : First .grade children enjoy one of their reading readiness games to improve the ability to listen carefully and accurately. 282 3. Reading beadiness Games An interesting rhyming game for first grade chil- dren vas assembled in a gay elephant holder to be be used at, the reading readiness level in correla- tion with certain phases of instruction in English. A set of 12 toy store games was made for each first grade teacher to be used for supplementary audi- tory training experiences by small groups of children. Bulletins accompanied these materials revealing the purposes of them with supplementary suggestions for additional uses of the materials. 4. Cape Cod Materials Two maps of Cape Cod were duplicated for every third grade child to contribute to the vitalization of the learning and teaching of Cape-Cod. Directions were prepared for the teachers suggesting how the children might use one of their maps as a jig-saw Cape Cod puzzle map. Four or five different games were indicated to vary the use of the puzzles. An- other similar brochure for teachers revealed num- erous purposes and procedures for the child's sec- ond map. A set of the fifteen towns of the Cape was prepared for each third grade child in the Town. This material was utilized in many ways for review and drill checks on the subject matter being tauglit. The most worthwhile phases of the techniques in- volved in this game are that each child has the opportunity to participate in the activity and that the teacher can identify immediately those young- sters ivho have not absorbed the instruction. 5. Halloween Booklets In October intriguing cat and pumpkin booklets were duplicated for each child in the first and sec- ond grades correlating with the silent reading seat work program. Several new, instructional ideas were introduced in these booklets to improve or vary some of the seat work material in vogue. 6. Word Booklets A word booklet was made for all children in the second and third grades to assist the pupils and teachers to detect each individual's difficult words. The booklets included, those words that occur most 283 frequently in most second and third grade readers respectively. The use of the booklet is such that drill procedures are confined to the child's own particular difficulties rather than to words he already knows. A quick checking device prepared on the cover by the child reveals instanity to both teacher and pupil the progress being made. 7. Phonic Materials One set of attractive flash cards was duplicated for every second grade child and included many of the phonetic word parts stressed in our reading system. The cards are used in such a way that all children may plan the game at the same time awhile the teachers observes instantly which children need con- tinued drill practice on the material. Similar sets of vowels have been distributed to third and fourth grade teachers having pupils who need intensive auditory drill experiences with vowels. S. Summer School Learning Aids Learning aids that were different from anything used during the usual. school year were constructed for the children attending summer school to offer interest and variety to the program. Phonic wheels, to provide concentrated emphasis upon word beginnings and endings, seemed to ap- peal to the youngsters. An individual set of pic- torial self-help consonants, blends, and vowels was given to each child to improve his efficiency to manipulate this subject matter. 9. Silent Reading Primary Seat Work Samples Teachers in the primary grades are constantly seek- ing new worthwhile ideas to use in the silent read- ing seat work program and are always eager for suggestions to improve those materials and tech- niqucs they are using. A special bulletin was evolved to meet the needs ,of these teachers. Numer- ous samples of reading seat work for first and sec- ond grad^ children were compiled for the primary teachers to improve or supplement the practices followed. SECTION TWO BARNST'ABLE VILLAGE SCHOOL Inez Lahteine, Principal '1'«-o years ag-o the Barnstable STillage School celebrated its one hundrelth birthda3- with an Open House for the 2S4 people of the village and Town. At that tune many former pupils and teachers visited the school to relive the memories of the old days. In spite of being the oldest school still in use in the Town of Barnstable, the old building has served its purpose rather Drell through tlicse many generations of children. For the past months we have been watching the build- ing of the neiv consolidated school. Fvith great interest since most of the existing pr,,,blems in the present school will be satisfactorily solved when we move into the neiv school. At pr'c sent the lack of adequate classrc,om space has made it necessary to continue two grades to a room with the exception of the fourth grade. This is not the ideal situation for best ter,cbing results since our classes have 'grown -io such an extent that it would noiv seem advisable to have one grade to a room. Physical education classes are carried out satisfactorily out of doors on days of good weather but in inclement weather the lack of space for such activities in the class- rnnns presents a real problem. At present, supervised mu- sic, instrumental music lessons, and school health projects if s ,,yyppa e �i) •Yr i f,< s:. F + i #,a `.2 :' .�.. "':.:`::'....: ... .. • is : �: :k��:'��. F ',nFj.

Extra curricula activities such as programs for par- ents, plays or musicals have had to be curtailed because of the lack of sufficient space. However, we have tried to offer a program that is stim- ulating and effective, and to participate in activities that are of value to the youngsters and that can be carried on in the reported situation. The first grade children made a trip to the Barnstable County Farm as part of our enrichment program in the social studies field. The second grade children visited the local post office in connection with their reading, social studies, and English work. The boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades were transported to Harwich to see a model train exposition. They observed the development of types of locomotion, and the complex materials and opera- tions of the railroad today. With.the opening of the new school we shall have ade- quate classroom space, a gymnasium, a music room, and an auditorium, plus many other modern features which will solve the problems we now face. .............:.:. �n vii :Y f 1 ' 3.. �d •i 5 ,r 9 Barnstable Village School Band under the direction of Mr. Charles Tourjee present concert for the children of the school at their Christmas program. 286 CENTER,VILLE SCHOOL Hazel V. Connor, Principal A schoolroom should have an atmosphere that welcomes children to a place where they can best work, learn, and grow. Bulletin boards help a great deal in creating an en- virenment that is pleasant, colorful, and instructive. Bulletin- boards mark the seasons with pictures col- lected by t-achcr and pupils, or with drawings, paintings, and posters. Children learn orderly planning, balance, and co'_or harmony from these arrangements. Lettering, measur- ing, and careful mounting build habits of exactness and neatness. : ME:STUOT CAPE C R < .: IF x, z 3'' ..::. �: ,,.. :... .. �:::.�� .: .., ;��.. Via:. Cape Cod industries become more meaningful to third grade children. Learning different subjects is enjoyable from bulletin boards. In Social Studies, different areas can be illustrated and examples of products or industries can be driven. Wise health practices are shown in built-up posters, pipe cleaner figures, and in constructed devices. Art finds expression in many forms on our display boards. Pupils like to draw and cut out figures to compose a scene depicting fun in winter. Children who share in making their rooms attractive take great pride in showing their work to others. Reminders of good citizenship traits keep before the students the ideals by which they should plan their lives. 287 , s w , K� u Mz�� .h.l } ........ ....

The library is conducted in much the same way as public libra- ries. Pupils take turns srrvinr' as librarians, and have con- sidered it an honor and privilege to do so. After checking their cards .with the librarian, a book may be taken home for a week. If it is kept overtime a small fine is collected, and this money is used for a library project. The lower grades have stressed taking good care of the teeth, learning to brush them regularly, and avoiding too many sweets. Other grades have been interested in carrying out their health project in the "Air Way". After the morning daily inspection each child who passes the requirements places his airplane on an interesting chart, indicating that he is ready for the day, while those who do not pass inspection must place their airplanes in the hangar. The upper grades have show an keen interest in clean and neat appearances, and choosing good foods. Daily in- spection is awaited eagerly each morning. One reward which is well received by all is a gold star at the end of the week if inspections are satisfactory. ....

Linehan, Principal The school year at the Hyannis Elementary School is varied and interesting. Pupils enter from all parts of the Free World. It is not unusual to send puipls to Arabia, Eng- land, Japan or Iceland, and welcome others from Bermuda, Okinawa or California. The average enrollment hovers about 710-712 children. The personnel is made up of: twenty-one full time teachers, one part-time special help teacher, one secretary, three custodians, seven lunch room workers. School lunchrooms have grown to be an important phase of school administration. A total of 100,000 lunches and 103,000 bottles of milk were served in this school dur- ing the school year. Pupil purchases plus government sub- sidies place school lunchrooms in a position where they are self-supporting. Pupil activities were many and varied as illustrated by the following social studies projects: Second grade pupils visited the Fire Station, Police Station, Post Office and larger super markets. OF _.. : The Social Studies program in grade two was vitalized by a trip to the fire station. 291 ...:..;;...r,..::. ...,: a „ .. ...... .......:. .w Pupils in one of the,third grades make a map of Hyannis.

Moore, Principal Early spring of 1956 found the young ladies of the school the proud possessors of the Soft Ball Trophy given by the Town of Barnstable Boosters Club. They were the champions of the Girls' Soft Ball League. The entire school took great pride in this accomplishment. In June, two events of importance took place. The first, in accordance with an orientation program for future seventh graders, was a trip to the high school taken by twenty-two sixth graders. The guidance director took them on a tour of the building after a short talk on the pro- cedures which they would follow next ,year. Upon their re- turn they harned how to fill out a biographical card and how to react their schedule cards for classes. The second event was the Sixth Grade Assembly which is an annual affair. This is a big day of recognition for the boys and girls i ho are completing their six years in our .choo1. The third grade class learned many things about. Cape Cod and its fifteen towns. One activity in their study was the making of a pictorial map of Cape Cod with a key to explain the various interesting pictures made by the children. 294 .. :.:. .. : ..r F.

In October, Miss Abbott, a representative of the Audu- bon Society, began the first of a series of fifteen lessons in Nature Study. The enthusiasm of the children has been most rewarding After the topic, "Winter Birds" was dis- cussed, one of the boys made a feeding tray. It was placed outside the southwest window in the fifth and sixth grade room. Instructions concerning the feeding of the birds was followed carefully by the children. A large piece of suet, a slice of bread with a dab of peanut butter, bird seed, sand and bread crumbs are put on the tray daily by one of the children. Several very saucy chickadees are the most enter- taining visitors. Much has been learned through obser- vation. In all grades heading for Fun is stressed. Grades 4, 5, and 6 are developing an eager interest in library reading. Through the efforts of the librarians in both the Marstons Mills Library and the Hyannis Public Library, the school 295 is ti ell sum lied with books ishich supplement floe classroom libraries;.

In December, the entire school participated in a Christ- mas assembly. A program of songs, poems, and instrumental selections ivas enjoyed by a large audience of interested parcnts. r.�a YM x First grade children of the Marstons Mills School present a Christmas Assembly, Many schools have an organization called the P.T.A. Our school has a very energetic group called the Go-Getters Club. This group of mothers meets monthly and have many activities from which the children and teachers benefit. Through their generosity we have a 16 millimeter sound projector, a merry-go-round, refreshments for all parties, movies twice a year, a new four-speed record player, Safety Patrol equipment, and the beginning of a school library. We are fortunate to have children, parents and teach- ers working together with such a happy- cooperative spirit. OSTERVILLE SCHOOL Margaret H. O'Neil, Principal The past year has been a buss- and interesting one at the Osterville Elementary School. The children in our school have learned much through their participating in a variety of activities. The exceptional progress shov,ii by our children is due largelj- to the splendid cooperation manifested by our school personnel and the public. «'e are grateful fcr all the help we have been given. 297 VOCAL MUSIC Fifty-five children from grades three through six made up the Osterville Glee Club. With the assistance of our music supervisor, 11ziss Dorothy Barton, we prepared a Christmas program in conjunction with the Hyannis Elementary,School Boys' Choir and the Centerville School Chorus. The perform- ance proved to be most rewarding. INSTRUMENTAL. MUSIC Twenty-six instrumental students from grades four, five, and six have shown remarkable progress under the supervision of Mr. Charles Tourjee. The Osterville Band, a group of eleven advanced stud- ents from grades five and six, work with Mr. Simon Gesin. At Christmas time they played for our assembly and showed the results of fine instrumental instruction. HEALTH We aic indebted to our school nurse, Miss Ethel Aikens, who supervises the health program in our schools. Health inspections, check-ups, home visits, and her advise are in- valuable to the classroom teacher. ; K R' ay , ..:.;.: `;"F1`:...'.':..... .e..✓.':: :::_,,>i'r: ..e`'itc.i'�i� ::.Y''.',. ..•�'rSS:.e' i',i : , t:. :. . This bulletin board was arranged by pupils in correlation with our health instructional program. 298 After the school dentist had inspected the teeth of our children a concerted effort was inaugurated to impress. everyonewith the importance fo visiting his own dentist to have all necessary %vork done. Units of work, posters, and devices of many kinds were used to stimulate interest in this project. We are gratified with the continuing results being shown. All phases of health instruction are pursued in our classrooms. LIBRARY TRIPS Mrs. Arthur Weber, the ne`v librarian of the Osterville Free Public Library, invited grades two and three to visit with her and enjoy a story hour. Each class accepted her invitation on two occasions. The children prepared for their trips with citizenship and safety lessons. They were accom- panied on their_journeys by their teachers, and on one oc- casion by Officer Flynn, while Officer Crocker was on duty for the second trip. During the visits, the children were instructed in the proper use of the library and became acquainted with its facilities. Story hours .were enjoyed and cards were dis- tributed for future use. Upon returning to school thank-you letters were.written to Mrs. Weber; Mrs. Johnson, the story-teller; Mrs. Alcott Hallett, who had charge of the cards, and to their policemen friends. All the children told stories about "Why I Like the Library."A group of judges selected two winners from each grade. These children were presented awards by Mrs. Weber at our Christmas assembly. The children of grade three prepared an experience chart dealing with their trips to the library. Many stories written by the children were included on this chart. PLYMOUTH TRIP On November 2, 1956,- the fourth grades went on a super- vised tour to Plymouth Plantation in Plymouth, Massa- chusetts. The children visited the two pilgrim homes and the fort. Activities which resulted from this field trip were murals, reports, original poetry- and the making of a model Plymouth village. 299 s. .'di::.r�;'::�G�ff V.�•�ieaDii`,R';�F,`t£: 1:,6..,.;.v..;.::::�::::::::�::�.:"r:. : fK.. o, : iw5 !;f x: Arithmetic is taught meaningfully to the youngsters with a variety of functional materials. NATURE STUDY Children love color. In the autumn iA hen the leaves are falling they collect and bring many leaves to school. Its the leaves were brought in to our first grade they were taught the names of the common trees. They studied the shapes of each leaf and colored one of each type. Seeds and nuts were also brought in and identified. The children were most interested in the sassafras leaves because of their several shapes. The leaf resembling a mitten pleased them the most. Later, evergreen branches were brought in and the names of the emnmon evergreen trees were tauglit. From this activity the first graders learned to observe and name the trees around them. They grew in their ap- preciation of the beauty and color of autumn foliage and to identify the evergreens used for trees and decorations at Christmas time. 300 READING AND SOCIAL STUDIES Grade three has studied about Norway, Lapland, Eng- land, Brittany, Spain, and Africa in correlation with the reading program. Following the culmination of each unit, the children made notebooks which told stories about the children, people, customs, homes, and food. Freehand draw- ings were made showing an interesting feature of the coun- try. Cape Cod also is a subject for study in the Eacial Stud- ies program in grade three. Maps, pictures, and stories are written. These children also study and observe the plant growth of the Cape. As part of their reading and social studies, Grade.-Five did a unit on early pioneer life in New England. They ob- tained information for this unit from their school library books, encyclopedias and the public library of Osterville. They drew some very fine wall murals depicting kinds of clothing, type of schools, and kinds of work of the early New England pioneers. They drew a wall map of the New England States which they used to show products, industries, principal cities and towns, and physical features of New England. The study of early Virginia always proves to be a most interesting one to sixth graders. A unit was planned which included most of the subjects taught in this grade. Reading, penmanship, spelling, social studies, drawing, arithmetic, English, and art were all a part of the intensive..study made of the early .colony of Virginia in contrast with the present day state. When the- unit was completed each child had his own booklet containing the work lie had done as an individ- ual or as a member of a committee. The making of a model of Jamestown was throughly enjoyed by the children. LIBRARY ANNIVERSARY The Osterville Free, Public Library has recently cele- brated its seventy-fifth anniversary. The trustees invited the children of our school to participate in this celebration. In each classroom discussion took place to acquaint the children with the project and the history of the library. Grades one, two, and three made trips to the library for many of these children had never visited there. 3P 1 ... ....................... . :. •�t�il�iE ''.:<au:ii: _.: .::;e::.,<c.......:..... .;' �:.;..<. :E2i1E:':Ei:.St;: T. r: !6, Pupils of the Osterville School participate in a library poster contest. a i; A..W Osterville pupils enjoy the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Osterville Free Public Library. 302 Under the direction of our art supervisor, Mr. Vernon Coleman, each class made posters: which emphasized the importance of good reading and the proper use of the library. These posters were presented to a board of judges chosen by the trustees. Two children from each class received awards. The visits to the library and the activities carried on in conjunction with these visits helped to stimulate a great- er interest in the reading of good literature and the proper use of library facilities. We appreciate having been invited to take part in this anniversary celebration. WEST BARNSTABLE SCHOOL Edna L. Sykes, Principal In spite of the fact that Nest Barnstable has claim on the smallest enrollment in the town, facilities at this school are not adequate for the steady increase in pupils over the years. Even with classes rarely over 25 pupils, special activ- ities are limited because of the lack of practice room and auditorium. It has been most unfortunate, because along with the small enrollment have come high standards which are not possible in classes of larger size, and therefore would offer much in the way of choirs, plays, pageants, and varied programs. The same reading system is used here as in the other village schools, but much more material can be offered to the pupils which must of necessity be eliminated in larger classes for lack of time. It is, therefore, possible to offer much more in the way of supplementary reading, phonics, language, writing, arithmetic, and social studies. This small village school is more of a home to its pupils since many of the rigid procedures are eliminated. School parties are attended by many parents, and problems with pupils are handled directly with the parents who frequently visit school. This is indeed an advantage, for nothing sup- plants the interest of the parent in furthering the achieve- ment of the pupil. , It is hoped what with the transfer of these pupils to the new building, these parents will not lose their inter- est in the welfare of the children, and will continue in mak- ing this area one of the leaders in educational achievement. 303 [ gt p isEii'S.c', 'l,.u:.Vr.�<,tCy`:?

First and second grade children in the West Barnstable School use many interesting supplementary drill materials in their attractive classroom setting. BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL Frederick M. Hodge, Principal ENROLLMENT During 1956 the enrollment continued to increase.. In December the total enrollment was 1079, a gain of 37 pupils over the previous year. Space for the additional pupils was provided by using the former agricultural room in the Iyan- ough building as a mathematics classroom, by converting the former machine shop into an agricultural classroom and by using the library for home room purposes. PROGRAM OF STUDIES- , No important changes liave'beeri'made in th-e progr'Am of studies during the past year. In the seventh and eighth .3.04 grades, all pupils have the same program which provides training in the basic subjects, and helps each pupil discover his interests and abilities. At the end of the eighth grade, each pupil selects the course which he wishes to follow dur- ing his remaining years in high school. The following table shows the courses offered and the enrollment in each course: 4 Grade 9 1.0 11 12 COURSE Business 41 34 28 13 College 60 35 45 51 General 61 70 43 46 Household Arts 2 4 12 Practical Arts 7 5 2 Agriculture 12 4 3 6 Trade School 4 5 7 3 COLLEGE ADMISSIONS The success of Barnstable High School graduates in gaining admission to colleges and in many cases winning honors is very gratifying. Entrance to most colleges is now based on scores obtained in the scholastic aptitude test of the College Entrance Examination Board, the subject grades in the applicant's high school work, the personality record, and the 'principal's recommendation. In addition, some col- leges require College Board Examinations in three of the following subjects: English, social studies, foreign language., mathematics or science. The colleges to which our 1956 applicants were admitted are listed in the survey of grad- uates which accompanies this report. MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM In1955 and 1956 Barnstable High School participated in' the newly organized Merit Scholarship Program. By taking a test given throughout the United States, seniors may. be considered for a large number of scholarships pro- vided by many of America's leading business. concerns. At the graduation exercises in June one senior received a cer- tificate for his high score on this test. In the fall of 1956, a similar test was given to 162,000 ,seniors in 12,500 high schools. One member of the class of 1957 has been named a finalist in this year's competition. GUIDANCE The guidance department attempts to give each pupil all possible.knowledge about his personal abilities, aptitudes, interests and limitations. This is done by testing, interviews, school records and questionaires. 3.;05 The primary purpose of any testing program is to study the individual throughout his school career. By the time a pupil in the Barnstable schools has reached the seventh grade, his guidance folder will show the results of two tests of mental ability; six yearly results of standardized achieve- ment tests and several other standardized reading and arith- metic tests. Additional tests of mental ability are given to pupils in grades seven, eight and eleven. All eighth grade pupils are given several special tests to help them discover their interests, aptitudes and abilities. These serve as a guide for a proper selection of their ninth grade course of study. The Iowa Tests of Educational Development are given to all pupils in grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve. These tests include understanding of basic social concepts, background in-natural sciences, correctness and appropriateness of ex- pression, ability to do quantitative thinking, ability to in- terpret reading materials in the social studies, ability to interpret reading materials in the natural sciences, ability to interpret literary materials, general vocabulary, and uses of sources of information. The guidance department attempts to interview each pupil in order to determine his educational and vocational ambitions and to help him plan his program. Pupils whose problems needed special attention were interviewed several times during the year. Another major function of the guidance department is to arrange for conferences with parents. Because of these conferences we can better understand and help our pupils. The guidance department also conducted a program of orientation for sixth grade pupils who were to enter our school in September. These pupils were brought to the high school in groups of thirty. The guidance director explained the organization of the school and took them on a tour of the building, following which a question and answer period was held. Finally they were instructed as to what they, should do when they arrived at school in September. During the year, the placement service of the guidance department was very active. Forty-five pupils were placed in full time employment and one hundred seven in part time and summer positions. 306 AGRICULTURE During the past year the agricultural department has continued its instruction with particular emphasis on horti- culture. Major studies in small fruits and ornamental horti- culture were carried on with practical projects in:fruit tree pruning and lawn building. The usual winter program of agricultural shop was again included, and work was continued on the school forest. This particular project has drawn state-wide attention as an example of a good method of teaching forest practice. The twenty acre plot has been almost completly reclaimed from a badly neglected but potentially fine stand of timber. DRIVER EDUCATION Because of the crowded conditions in the high school, it was necessary to reduce the time devoted to Driver Ed- ucation to fifteen periods a week. Due to this curtailment a smaller number of pupils will be able to participate in the program during 1956-57. At present eighteen students are en- rolled in the classroom driving phases of the prescribed course, and another fifteen to eighteen will begin classroom training at the start of the third marking period. The values of the Driver Education program have al- ready been proven statistically to such an extent that all major insurance companies will grant a substantial insurance reduction to drivers under twenty-five years of age if they have satisfactorily completed the requirements for a Driver Education certificate. The requirements for a certificate are as follows: 20 classroom hours of instruction in Driver Education 6 hours (minimum) behind-the-wheel driving in the school car 6 hours of observation of another student driver in the school car. The decision as to whether or not a certificate is issued upon the completion of these requirements is left to the in- structor, and depends upon the standards of classroom work, attitute and aptitude of each student. For the second year the School Department is indebted to Bragle Chevrolet of Hyannis for the donation of a new Chevrolet station wagon for the use of the Driver Education students. 307 KEY CLUB The Barnstable High School Key Club was organized in February under the sponsorship of the Hyannis Kiwanis Club. A Key Club is a service organization of boys in second- ary schools with the following purposes: To develop initiative and leadership To provide experience in living and working together To serve the school and community To co-operate with the school principal To prepare for useful citizenship , The Barnstable High School Key Club has entered into a well balanced program of activities, including fund rais- ing projects, a parent and son banquet, a get-out-the-vote campaign and many services around the school. The club is run by the boys through their officers and board of directors, advised by a member of the -Kiwanis Club and a school faculty representative. ATHLETICS The athletic program at the Barnstable Junior and Senior High School has been expanded during the past year. Last fall we had a varsity team in soccer for the first time in the history of the school and in field hockey for the first time in many years. We were also able to improve our pro- gram in junior varsity football, baseball and basketball. During=the seventh period.,an intra-class.program has been conducted in school. This program includes football, soccer, basketball and track. Approximately six hundred and twenty-five pupils par- tieipated in varsity, junior varsity and intra-class athletics. We hope that our sports program will be expanded even further next year, so that a greater number of boys and girls can take an active part in some type of athletics. Our athletic program at the present time includes the following sports: varsity football, junior high football, varsity soccer, varsity field hockey, boys' varsity basket- ball, girls' varsity basketball, .intra-class girls' basketball, varsity baseball, varsity track, varsity golf, junior high baseball and girls' softball. BARNSTABLE TRADE SCHOOL Theodore W. Glover, Director Boat building and carpentry continue to be courses of- fered in the Trade School. But as we progress in the 1956-57 3 a8 school year, our thinking and planning are largely concern- ed with the opening of the expanded vocational program to be offered when we move into the new school next Sep= tember. In addition to the two courses mentioned above the following trades will be taught, automobile mechanics, elec- trical work and plumbing. It is hoped that many boys will be interested in the training possible in these five trades. Vocational education, as the term Trade School implies, has the basic goal of teaching a boy enough of any one trade offered to allow him to take a position as an advanced ap- prentice upon graduation. Not all school time is spent ,in the shop, for English, a.thematics and social studies are also taught. The Trade School trains for citizenship as well as for a trade. In boat building the school has continued to build and repair boats on order. When the department moves into its new shop, it will be possible to build larger boats and it is hoped there will be requests to do so—thus rounding out the trade experience, necessary for an all-around boat yard employee. Emphasis is carpentry continues to be on building con- struction. Through the spring, work was continued on two additions to a house which were started the preceeding fall. This autumn, work was begun on a nine room house which is expected to be a two-year project. When outside work is not possible for any reason class work continues in the shop where a wide variety of jobs is undertaken. Many of the boys who have graduated from the car- pentry department are now working at the trade. EVENING SCHOOL Theodore W. Glover, Director On March 22; 1956 an exhibit of products produced in evening school classes terminated the school year of 1955-56. Many fine articles from the clothing, tailoring, knitting, rug hooking and braiding, jewelry, and woodworking groups were shown. Registration for the school year 1956-57 was held on September 24 with 228 persons being recorded for beginning sewing, advanced sewing, tailoring, rug hooking, rug braid- ing, jewelry, knitting, beginning woodworking, advanced woodworking, typewriting and decorated ware. All of these courses were started during the month of October. 309 Other courses suggested were Speaking and writing Every Day English, Speed Reading, and Consumer Buying, but as usual there was little interest shown in anything but handicraft work. Next fall there should be an opportunity at the new school to offer additional courses for which there has not been adequate facilities before. The related training for apprentices is still carried on as part of the adult education program. Last winter's class ended in late April and this winter's group began on Sep- tember 27. They meet for 21/2 hours once a week for guided individual study associated with the particular trade to which each person is apprenticed. An outside assignment each week is also required. , MUSIC DEPARTMENT Simon Gesin, Director The elementary vocal progarm, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Barton, Vocal Supervisor, is progressing satis- factorily with the completion of the installation of the "American Singer", second edition, of the American Book Company. The installation of.this book was begun last year. This book has been found to be unusually well graded, and easily understood by the pupils. Recently a basic set of Music Appreciation records was placed in each school. These recordings of the more popular classics, along with film strips of the composers who wrote them, are proving to be successful. As in the past, in addition to the regular classroom work, special vocal groups were organized in the schools. These groups took part in various Christmas programs, other special programs and exercises in the different schools. Also, a special combined Christmas program using approximately 200 elementary singers and soloists was- presented at the High School. This program was open to the general public and a capacity audience was on hand to witness it. These special programs and assemblies will be expanded as soon as the new facilities in Cotuit and Barnstable-West Barn- stable are available. We are continuing the special programs inaugurated last year of instrumental and vocal ensembles from New York presented to the 7th and 8th grades. These ensembles present an informal educational program which has lifted the interest of these Junior High pupils to a high level. 310 The High School Chorus, which this year has a member= ship of around 100, has rehearsed regularly and has taken part in Christmas assemblies and special programs at service clubs. The instrumental program is still progressing very fav- orably. Mr. Charles Tourjee is now on a full time basis and we are now able to offer more instruction and longer lessons to more students than ever before. Despite the fact that we have lengthened the time for instruction for each lesson, we are happy to say that we have been able to handle an increase of about 25%. Interest in these instrumental lessons is still at a high level, a level which we sincerely hope to maintain. The Elementary Band still continues to flourish and expand. At the present writing there are 52 in this group, an increase of about 15% over last year. We are planning to admit a few more after January 1957 so that the number should increase to about 65. Just as before, this group is mainly made up of the advanced students of grades 5 and 6, and they represent every elementary school in the town. They rehearse as a combined unit every Saturday morning at the Hyannis Elementary school. Transportation for these players is very generously arranged by various parents in each village. Attendance at rehearsals has been running approximately 90 to 95%, which is remarkable considering the fact that pupils of this age level have so many other in- terests on a Saturday. Some of our public appearances will be at the Hyannis Kiwanis Club, the Hyannis Rotary Club, and a radio broadcast. This year, what was formerly the 7th grade Band has been expanded into a full-fledged Junior High School Band of Grades 7 and 8. We now have 43 members in this group and hope to expand in 1957 to about 50. Thus,when we move to the new High School, we shall have three complete or- ganizations: The High School Band; The Junior High School Band, which provides the necessary stepping stone from elementary to high school playing, and acts as a training ground and "feeder" for the High School Band; The Elementary School Band, which gives the vital and necessary first experience in group playing so important to an instrumentalist. The High School Band was very active at the beginning of the school year, playing at all football games, both at 311 home and away; many assemblies, Christmas programs, marching in the annual Veteran's Day Parade, and the Santa Claus parade sponsored by the Hyannis Board of Trade. We shall also participate in the annual Memorial Day parade in Centerville, as well as other events during the year. One of the most eagerly awaited events for our High . School musicians is their participation in the New England Music Festival. In the spring of 1956 we had 16 pupils chosen to represent Barnstable High School in the Concert Festival which was held in Claremont, New Hampshire. This year we shall submit the names and applications of about 30 pupils, both vocal and instrumental, in the hope that all will be chosen to participate in the Concert Festival which is to be held in Plainville, Connecticut. Interest in music in the Barnstable Public Schools is increasing. With the added space and facilities afforded by the new buildings and additions, we shall continue to' ex- pand and improve so that a larger percentage of students than ever before will be taking part in some music activity. SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Robert D. Watt, M. D., School Physician Ethel M. Aikens, R. N., School Nurse The Polio Vaccine Clinics continued throughout 1956.. A total of 1,560 school children and personnel have received_ their first and second shots at the school clinics. . . Physical appraisals were given by Dr. Robert Watt, school physician, to all students in grades one, three, seven and eleven. The bus drivers, athletic teams and all new students entering this system also received physical apprais- als. The Board of Health conducted dental clinics at the Hyannis Elementary School. The report is as follows: Number of clinics conducted 36 Number of examinations 1418 Number of temporary fillings 36 Number of permanent fillings 65 Number of temporary extractions 58 Number of permanent extractions 8 Number of cleanings 143 Number of treatments 16 Total number of treatments 326 Total number of children treated 236 312 Under the auspices of the Barnstable County Public Health Association a chest x-ray service was conducted in the Town of Barnstable. Three hundred and thirty high school students and one hundred and sixty teachers and school personnel had chest x-rays at this time. Vision and hearing testing was conducted according to state regulations and parents were notified if defects were discovered. Pre-school clinics were conducted in May and June.

There is much in these reports that should be of interest to every taxpayer. A study .of the Assessors' and Town Treasurer's Re- ports will reveal a great deal of information concerning the town's finances. The accounts of the activities of the Highway Depart-' meat and the Airport Commission should be read by every- one. Direct and indirect changes for schools form a very important part of our total budget. The very complete re- port of the School Department tells what the schools are doing and why. Everyone will be pleased to learn from the Shellfish Constable's report that we have clams again in Barnstable Harbor. The supply is not large, but the fact that we have them at all is most reassuring. The reports of other departments not specifically men- tioned also will provide interesting information. 1958 Taxes At last year's town meeting there was evident a com- mendable spirit of 'economy. The result was a tax rate of $37.40, exactly the same as the previous year. Superficially this seemd to be a worthwhile accomplishment. Unfortu- nately the over-all situation was not fully realized. It was obvious that in 1958 the town would have to provide funds for a much larger school budget, additonal money for debt retirement, and other unavoidable budget increases. Had we been a little more liberal minded on one or two occa- sions, we would have spent a little more last year, probably a little less this year and would have had a more stable tax rate. However, we will have to pay the penalty in 1958 for last year's frugality or we will have to continue to defer projects which have so much merit that they cannot be indefinitely delayed. If the town is to maintain good schools, efficient town government, and undertake those projects which reasonable and steady progress demand it would appear that a tax rate of not less than $41.00 is inevitable. In comparison with other towns this is still a modest tax rate although certainly not so low as we would like to have it. 7 Barnstable's Financial Condition The town is in excellent financial condition as is attest- ed by the fact that the Marstons Mills School loan was re- cently floated at a 2.6% interest rate, considerably below the market for most municipalities. The Selectmen and Town Treasurer had delayed several months in putting this loan on.the market in the hopes of getting more favorable conditions. Fortunately the market did improve and instead of paying well over 317o we got the much lower rate of 2.6%; the saving to the town over the period of the loan will be between $25,000.00 and $40,000.00. As of January 1, 1957 the town had a useable cash surplus of about $207,000.00. One hundred and eighty-eight thousand of this was used by vote of the annual and special town meetings leaving less than $20,000.00 of the original amount. However, appropriation balances at the end of 1957, the excess Hof actual receipts over those estimated, and $31,150.00 obtained by the Sewer Commission as Federal reimbursement on our recent sewer system improvements, have all contributed to restoring our surplus funds to even higher levels than a year ago. Our present free cash amounts to about $243,00.00. Our annual payments on debt and interest have in- creased over those shown in last year's Town Report be- cause of the borrowings for the Airport project and the Marstons Mills School. A revised table of debt and interest payments due during the next ten years on debt thus far incurred is given below: y y E NF Ca °- a o at!W wx z4 -�wH 1958 $277,000.00 76,077.50 353,077.50 72,000.00 281,077.50 5.30 1959 290,000.00 75,817.50 365,817.50 73,277.12 292,540.38 5.51 1960 235,000.00 70,008.75 305,008.75 41,915.96 263,092.79 4.96 1961 230,000.00 64,931.25 294,931.25 41,915.96 253,015.29 4.77 1962 230,000.00 59,903.75 289,903.75 41,915.96 247,987.79 4.68 1969 225,000.00 54,941.25 279,941.25 35,625.00 244,316.25 4.61 1964 205,000.00 50,043.75 255,043.75 35,625.00 219,418.75 4.14 1965 205,000.00 45,446.25 250,446.25 35,625.00 214,821.25 4.05 1966 205,000.00 40,848.75 245,848.75 35,625.00 210,223.75 3.97 1967 205,000.00 37,131.25 242,131.25 35,625.00 206,506.25 3.90 These figures indicate that the town has a substantial, but not unbearable debt burden. Further, but relatively modest borrowings for schools and other purposes will probably be voted by the town within the next two or three years. Our total debt should not greatly increase, however, as the borrowings will be largely offset by our annual debt payments on the principal which will total $567,000.00 for 1958 and 1959 alone. In connection with our comparative financial situation, the Chairman has done a little research during the past year, and these appear to be the facts. As was stated in the last annual Town Meeting, the Town of Barnstable has one of the highest per capita debts in the State. According to 1956 figures only fifteen towns have higher per capita debts. (The 1957 figures are not yet available.) Consideration of per capita debt alone can be very misleading. When banks or investment houses study the financial condition of a town they pay little attention to its per capita debt. They look rather carefully at the ratio of its debt to the valuation of its taxable property since taxes are.paid on a valuation basis and not per capita. It is inter- esting to note that one hundred and twenty-seven towns in the Commonwealth have a higher ratio of debt to valuation. Banks and investment houses are also interested in the town's tax rate. Of the eighty-three towns and cities in the Commonwealth having equal or greater population, only two towns and one city have lower tax rates. Another yardstick for measuring a town's ability to pay is its per capita valuation. Not one of the above towns or cities has as high a per capita valuation as Barnstable. The following tables will help in making financial comparisons with other towns in Barnstable.'s population class. Included are all the towns in Massachusetts having a population .of more than 10,000, but less than 16,000. To make the comparisons fair in regard to tax rate, ours is shown as $41.60 (the town tax rate of $37.40 plus $4.20 the average fire district tax) : 9 Table Showing the 1956 Per Capita Debt, Per Capita Valuation and Tag Rate of Massachusetts Towns in the 10,000 to 16,000 Population Class Per Per Capita Town Capita Debt Valuation Tax Rate Barnstable $277.00 $4100.00 $41.60 Falmouth 118.00 3700.00 50.00 Plymouth 46.00 2500.00 56.00 Somerset 166.00 2400.00 35.00 Swampscott 121.00 2400.00 56.60 Hingham 244.00 2300.00 68.00 Marblehead 191.00 2200.00 .52.00 Walpole 164.00 2200.00 57.60 Agawam 217.00 1750.00 56.00 Andover 180.00 1700.00 60.00 Concord 177.00 ' 1600.00 76.80 Dartmouth 245.00 1600.00 58.80 Easthampton 1.00 1600.00 4200 Randolph 95.00 1600.00 62.00 Shrewsbury 58.00 1600.00 55.40 So.

This doesn't mean that as a Town we should go on a spending spree. We should practice reason- able economy based on a careful consideration of the town's present and forseeable future needs. It has been some time since we have shown in our re- port how the, town's tag dollar is being spent. Such a chart is this year included, and we would recommend that each taxpayer study it. THE 1957 TAX DOLLAR AND HOW IT WAS SPENT The figures used are net figures (appropriations less reimbursements or in- come, if any). Therefore, a true picture is presented of the different divisions of town government, which are indicated as requiring -so many cents out of the typical tax dollar for 1957 operation.

At Craigville the receipts from parking and use of the bathhouse facilities exceeded $30,000.00. The town beaches as a whole were very nearly self-supporting. The total expense being $56,650.00, and the total receipts about $49,000.00. Hyannis Harbor Entrance Channel After many years of waiting it now seems quite cer- tain that the Hyannis Harbor entrance channel will be widened to 100 or 150 feet, and deepened to 12 feet under a Federal project to start after Labor Day. The Town and State will contribute a small part of the cost of the pro- ject the remainder being furnished by the Federal Govern- ment. This deeper and wider channel will be of great benefit to Hyannis, and to the town as a whole. It should bring to Hyannis many visiting yachts that previously did not attempt to enter. Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink One of the outstanding events of 1957 in Barnstable was the opening of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Skating Center. Since its opening on November 1, 1957 children and adults from all over Cape Cod, and beyond, have enjoyed its use. It has provided healthful exercise for a great many of our young people and has kept them off the streets. It has filled an urgent need in the recreation field on Cape Cod. In one respect at least the skating center constitutes an unusual gift. Almost invariably when a town acquires a new recreation facility it is permanently committed to a sizeable increase in taxes to provide operation and mainte- nance. If such were the case in this instance the expendi- ture would be a sound investment in recreation. The ex- perience of three months would now seem to indicate that the facility will be very nearly, if not entirely, self-sup- porting. The Kennedys should be most sincerely thanked for their generous and appropriate gift from the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Foundation. State Parks in Barnstable? There again seems to be agitation on the part of the . State Department of Natural Resources (formerly Depart- 13 ment of Conservation) to acquire public lands on Cape Cod for parks and beaches. The Mystic Lake and Middle Pond area in Marstons Mills is mentioned as a desirable place for such a development. A huge state park, such as suggested here, would be a serious detriment to the entire town generally and Mars- tons Mills in particular. Our ocean and bay frontage is now pretty well occupied. People are turning to our ponds and lakes for desirable residential locations. Mystic Lake and nearby ponds have many miles of excellent water front- age, a potential and, certain source of future taxes, surely much more substantial than any sums the town might re- ceive in lieu of taxes if the state "took over." We should bend every effort to prevent the State from establishing parks or beaches in the Town of Barnstable. The town itself has expanded its beaches and public recrea- tion areas to such an extent in recent years that there is no reason whatever for the Commonwealth to sponsor fur- ther development here. To do so would be a reflection on the intelligence of the voters of the town. This year we will have the opportunity to acquire the second parcel of the Makepeace land at Sandy Neck. Next year we shou44 purchase or take the remainder of Sandy Neck, with the exception of those relatively few and small parcels where there are camps, so that we may be sure that we will have no state or other interference with our plans for that scenic spot. Conclusion The year of 1957 was a busy one for all departments. Each year seems to bring with it a few more problems and responsibilities for those of us who are in the public service. Were it not for the fact that there is little or no friction between departments, and almost invariably excel- lent co-operation from everyone, the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen would have the utmost difficulty in doing anything approaching an efficient job. To the many departments and people who have so well assisted and co-operated during the past year may I extend my sincere thanks. `'ICTOR F. ADAMS Chairman Board of Selectmen 14 ASSESSOR'S REPORT FOR 1957 To the Citizens of The Town of Barnstable: The usual procedure of reviewing unfinished and new construction was carried out in 1957 and resulted in an in- crease of $1,689,300 in the value of the town. Because of the increase in valuation and the use of available funds, the tax rate of $37.40 of 1956 was able to be held for the year 1957. It is apparent that this coming year our tax rate must be increased to include commitments that we have made in the last few years. This is reflected by increases in many budgets,'for the upkeep and administration of their de- partments, and also to administer and maintain the new schools of the town. On the next pages are the Recapitulation Sheet and the Table of Aggregates which give in detail our income, expenditures and the resulting tax rate. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE L.

After the last Annual Town Meeting, the Board appoint- ed a Marstons Mills committee to investigate the problem of zoning for that Village. Their report and recommenda- tions are included in an article to be presented at this year's Town Meeting. We have also worked with the Centerville Civic Associ- ation in revamping the zoning law pertaining to the Village of Centerville. Their recommendations will also be included at this year's meeting. At long last, a group was formed trying to unite the whole Cape. The purpose is to jointly work out the plan- ning and zoning problems common to all Cape towns in this era of post-war expansion. The Barnstable Board was the prime instigator in this effort to organize the Cape Plan- ping Boards. During the past year it was brought to the attention of the Board that the enforcement of the zoning regula- tions and building code, while also checking all guest and lodging houses, is such a vast job that no one man can properly handle the job. As it should be, the enforcement of all laws are the responsibility of the Selectmen; however, we would like to suggest to them, through this report, that the Building Inspector should have assistance from the Police Department, or a part time assistant, during the summer months. The effectiveness of any law is only as effective as the enforcement. 9'0 We would also like 'to bring to the attention of the town the fact that we have the chance to take—for a fair sum—the railroad land where the Hyannis Railroad Station used to be. We feel that this is a wonderful opportunity D and would greatly assist the Selectmen and Police Depart- ment in adjusting the one-way traffic program during the summer months. It would also make that corner of Center Street safer for pedestrians to cross the street. The acquisi- tion would undoubtedly allow the construction of a safety island in the middle of the intersection of Main and Center Streets. P Respectfully submitted, FRANK H. HINCKLEY, JR. 91 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS January 2, 1958 Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: During the months of 1957, a total of forty-three appli- cations for variances or special permits were filed and pro- cessed by the Board of Appeals. Of this number, twenty- seven were allowed, the number of special permits exceed- ing the number of variances, and of the total allowed, twenty-one were granted subject to restrictions tending to harmonize these exceptions' to the intent and purposes of the zoning by-law within the various villages. Portions of the report covering 1956 are worth repeat- ing here: "Certain members of the public are still slow to recognize that variances may be granted only where conditions affecting a particular parcel of land in a zon- ing district involve substantial hardship, not affecting the district generally,AND where relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without derogating from the intent and purpose of the zoning by-law adopted at the Town meeting. The element of financial hardship is not recognized as a fac- tor by the State law, by which the Board of Appeals is bound." "It is not yet recognized by citizens of the Town that the present by-law is go flexibile that an excellent and workable zoning program may be worked out for all sections of the Town and all parts of the various villages within the Town. It is our earnes recommenda- tion that zoning in the various villages be carefully studied, with the assistance and special knowledge offered by the Town Planning Board, to the end that the zoning by-lain may benefit the greatest number of Town residents." 92 In view of the special permits allowable under para- graphs C, D, F, G, H, M, 0 and P of the present zoning by-law, an increasing burden of work, administrative, cleri- cal, and quasi-legal may almost certainly be expected in the years ahead. Further, in view'of the technical knowledge required in assimilating the content of the numerous and varied provisions of the by-law, in preparing proper notices of impending hearings, and in writing decisions which clear- ly define the issues and conclusions reached, as a result of the hearings, two recommendations would appear to be of increasing importance, and deserve consideration by the Town authorities: (a) A requirement that the chairman of the Board be an experienced lawyer, and (b) Some provision be made to compensate members of the Board for the time, effort, and expense involved in this necessary public service. While associate members of the Board are obtainable of the required character and ability, it will be difficult in the future to secure the services of a chairman who can afford to lose many hours of time from his ordinary duties without some degree of compensation for time ex- pended, and for clerical and other expenses involved. (The term of the present chairman will soon expire, so that this recommendation looks to the future.) As a final recommendation, it is the feeling of the Board that in all villages earnest attention be given to- the problem of providing reasonable and adequate areas for business and limited business purposes, and also medium- sized residential lots, to the degree required to encourage legitimate ambitions, especially among our younger citi- zens, to prevent the use of the zoning by-law as a sword instead of a protecting shield over the community, and to avoid the creation and maintenance of monopolistic prac- tises which are abhorrent to the spirit of our fundamental laws and our rights as citizens. On the other hand, care must be taken to guard against the incursion of businesses which may become "injurious, noxious, or offensive to the neighborhood", and tend to de- feat the basic advantages derived from the zoning by-law. JOSEPH H. BEECHER, Chairman GEORGE H. MELLEN, JR. ROWLEY J. BROCKWAY 9.3 Report of THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS 1957 "New Peak" for Road Maintenance . . "New Equipment" Value to Department . "New Look" on Barnstable Road . . . "New Attitude" to T�own's Drainage . . . "New Policy" . . . 1958 . . . i "NEW PEAR" for road maintenance was reached in 1957. Among the streets resurfaced during the year were Bay View Street, Willow Street, Mitchell's Way, Straight- way and Ocean Street in Hyannis; Coolidge Street and Nickerson Road in Cotuit; Starboard Lane and Third Ave- nue in Osterville; Salten Point Road and Freezer Road in Barnstable; Sandy Neck Beach Road in West Barnstable. The newly surfaced roads completed are Washington Avenue Extension, Osterville; Highland Avenue Extension and Lewis Pond Road, Cotuit; and the New Cotuit School Road and Sidewalk. The streets which have been resealed are Great Marsh Road, Strawberry Hill Road, Old Post Road, Camp Opechee Road, North Main Street, Bay Lane, Long Beach Road, Cen- terville; Old Falmouth Road, Flint Street, Cammett Road, Lovell's Lane, Main Street, portions of River Road and Wakeby Road, Marstons Mills; Old Oyster Road, Old Post Road, portion of Little River Road and Crocker Neck Road, Popponesset Road, Grove Street and Quimquissett Road, Cotuit; Maple Street, Willow Street, Lombard Avenue and Old Strawberry Hill Road, West Barnstable; Beach Road, Mary Dunn's Road and George Street, Barnstable; First, 94 Second and Third Avenue, Crystal Lake Road, Barnard Road, Rambler Road, Bridge Street, Tower Hill Road and a portion of Bumps River Road, Osterville; Pitcher's Way and Oak Neck Road, Hyannis. ° The resealing was done with oil and screened sand. Approximately 83,000 gallons of road oil was used in the projects listed above. Under Chapter 90 Maintenance workers have completed operations on Hyannis Road in Barnstable and Route 149 in Marstons Mills. About 10,000 gallons of asphalt and 500 tons of stone were used on these projects. "NEW EQUIPMENT" value to the department was very apparent. One .of the prime factors in the successful operation has been the installation of six two-way radios in the cars and trucks. This radio system has had a tre- mendous "streamlining" effect on the efficiency of our work. The advantage of the system is,that in the event of breakdowns or emergencies, the crews and equipment can be dispatched in a matter of minutes. This radio equipment was purchased along with a Front-end Loader, Sidewalk Tractor and Sand Conveyor with the $22,000.00 appropria- tion voted at the Annual Town Meeting. "NEW LOOK" on Barnstable Road was attained by widening, draining and resurfacing. This improved the en- trance to the business district in the center of Hyannis and was rated as the "top" road job for 1957. Another major improvement contemplated for next spring involves the widening and resurfacing of Scudder Avenue, Hyannis, from the West End Rotary Circle to the intersection of Smith Street and Craigville Beach Road. This project along with the Barnstable Road project are being financed by a State Bond Issue. "NEW ATTITUDE" to the Town's Drainage problem should be considered. This is the biggest "headache" the department faces. Each year large drainage projects are proposed without any favorable reaction. Considerable 95 money will have to be spent on the system in the near future to bring it up to par with modern demands which are being made upon outmoded facilities. `NEW POLICY" ion road subdivisions is worthy of I consideration in 1958. If rules and regulations affecting sub- division roads were adopted it would reduce the cost to the taxpayer upon acceptance of these roads and reduce the grading and drainage problems with which the Highway Surveyor is confronted after acceptance of these same roads. It would also provide the purchaser of a lot or a < home within a subdivision with a safe and adequate road until such time as it was accepted by the town. Our department desires to produce the best work pos- sible with the least expense to the taxpayer, yet give to them the best and safest travel for the entire family. In our report we have given a summary of our work for the past year and some ideas for your consideration in 1958. Respectfully submitted, STANLEY R.

AGENT January 17, 1958 To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare Barnstable, Massachusetts I submit, herewith, my report to the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1957. So many changes were made in the administration of public assistance this past year in this Commonwealth that there isn't an agent, social worker .or clerk working in a Public Assistance program in the Commonwealth who hasn't been subject to the strain and tension caused by meeting these changes. It is hard for the average person to comprehend the vast amount of detail work that a Welfare Department has to handle. A great amount of legal work is necessary in settling estates where we have a lien on the recipient's property. In general the per diem rates in the hospitals through- out the Commonwealth were increased. In July the per diem rate at Tewksbury was increased and on September first the basic budget was increased by 5.7 fo due to the in- creased cost of living. On September 15th there were changes in the amount allowed for clothing and personal care in boarding and nursing homes. Also the per diem rate increased to $5.75. A change in the policy with regard to the fuel allowance was made, allowing $23.00 per month for fuel and light from September to May and $9.50 per month from May to September in unheated homes. The Medical Care Plan was revised, discontinuing the vendor payment to doctors. This change was brought about by a change in the policy of reimbursement by the Federal Government so the State had to change its policy in order to try and salvage some of the ten million dollars loss that the Commonwealth stood to lose in re-imbursements. This policy change naturally did not meet favor with the doc- tors. The Town of Barnstable was fortunate in one sense of the word, and unfortunate in another. Our budgets are 98 based on the expenditures for the case load as of December of the previous year. It so happened that on December 31, 1956 our case load was 301 cases. As of November 1, 1957, the case load was 267 cases or a loss of 34 cases. Sixteen b of these were Old Age cases and were mostly hospital or nursing home cases which is the most expensive type of case. It was unfortunate that the town lost these cases by death. If our case load had not dropped, I would have been forced to ask the Finance Committee for a considerable sum of money to meet the aforementioned increases which we have had during the year. Most towns had to hold spe- cial town meetings, asking for sums from $20,000 to $50,000 while cities had to have sums ranging from $75,000 to $100,000. We were fortunate that we had money enough to meet .our expenditures of grants, payrolls and medical expenses. I would like to bring to the attention of the public erroneous thinking that some people have that the Welfare Agent has the power to remove a person from his home when it is apparent that the person is physically unable to care for themselves. We have had several cases this past year where we realized that a person would be far better off in a boarding home and have tried to prevail upon them but they remained adamar_b and would not listen to the advice of their clergy, doctors, as well as the social worker and myself. I have been told by outsiders who know of these conditions that is is my responsibility to see to it that these persons are made to go some place where they will be cared for. There is no law in this Commonwealth that gives the Welfare Agent that right. It is disturbing to have the blame placed. on this department. In some cases, the relatives of the person involved cannot reason ' with them and have given up in despair. I hope the general public realizes our position in such cases. If there was some- thing we could do we certainly would do it.

The Infirmary is licensed un- der the law by the Department of Public Health and must maintain certain standards. Periodic inspections are made u at the Infirmary by inspectors from the Department of Public Health. The Lombard Home, or Infirmary as it is better known, is a well-kept, institution but is not an infirmary as defined by law but is licensed as a boarding home for aged persons with accommodations for t%venty-five persons. The past few years the Inmate Days have been on the decline. In 1957 it reached the lowest it has ever been and at the start of 1958 we had only two women and two men at the Home. I recommend that the Home be closed or leased to some- one who may want to run it as a licensed boarding home or a licensed nursing home. The latter would entail an ex- penditure of quite a sum of money in order to meet the necessary requirements for a nursing home. Of course, if the town wants to expend the necessary money for altera- tions and the operation costs, the Home could be made into a public medical institution. The town would then be able to place Old Age recipients in the Home and receive payment for their care which we cannot do at the present time under the law.

Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. LEVINE, SR., Agent -10 3 Report of Department of Veterans' Services TOWN OF BARNSTABLE District Board: Selectmen: Victor F. Adams, Barnstable Howard B. Monroe, Yarmouth Earle M. Davidson, Dennis The following is a report of the Department of Vet- erans' Services during the year 1957. As this is a District and the only one with a full time office staff on the Cape, we are called on many times dur- ing the year for information and procedure in filing claims for direct aid, also Veterans Administration Services, be- yond our District. I feel we are obligated to do this as a part of the State organization. Our first duty is to the Veteran and his dependents, and although this aid goes beyond District lines and does add to the District expense, we are glad to aid whenever possible. Hospitalization As our Veterans' rolls increase, medical costs and care in private hospitals also increase and it becomes apparent that unless the Veterans Administration adds to its facili- ties for Veterans' care, this cost is going to reflect in the annual budgets of both the Towns and the State. This matter is being given serious consideration by our State De- partment through correspondence with the Veterans Ad- ministration so that additional beds may become available in the very near future, especially for domiciliary and terminal cases. 104 Loans and Housing Although the Congress did extend the time for loans to World War II Veterans to July 1958, most banks have already closed down on 41/,,% loans and unless the Vet- erans Administration changes its policy and makes loans direct to the veteran as has been suggested by our Com- missioner of Veterans' Services, the average veteran is going to have little chance of getting a loan to start him toward buying his own home under the present system. r As Agent for the Town of Barnstable, I wish to express my appreciation to the Selectmen and other departments of the Town for their cooperation in securing records and other data when requested. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MILNE Director and Agent 105 REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT January 20, 1957 To the Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable, Mass.

Lawes, Jr., on December 31, 1957 it has become my duty as acting Chief of Police to present this report, therefore I take this opportunity to thank the Officials and Members of the various Board and Departments, who make up our 8 Town Government, for the able assistance they have given our department over the years. I also thank, in behalf of the Department, the Chiefs and men of the Fire Depart- ments of the several Fire Districts of the Town for the im- measureable aid they have rendered at the scenes of acci- dents and emergencies throughout the Town. The assistance a received by our department from the State Police and Police of other Towns in the Cape Area has been excellent in the investigations of crimes, locating missing persons, and at scenes of accidents. We as a Department appreciate this assistance and stand. ready to reciprocate whenever possible. In closing I wish to state that it is my opinion that the caliber of the department personnel compares favorably with police organizations of similar size. The lack of a sufficient number of Superior Officers has been noted in the past and in the coining year we hope to rectify this ;condition by the addition of Sergeants sufficient in number to make persoral ol')s^rvations of the men at their detailed posts. In this r,,,»ner a Superior Officer would be in a posi- tion to adyise his men, and where necessary, correct them. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT L. HINCKI.EY Acting Chief of Police ALH/er '110 Report of CIVIL DEFENSE DEPARTMENT 0 The Town ;of Barnstable Civil Defense Department in the year 1957 relocated its office and message center in the Maritime Building on South Street on the third floor. Alter- ations were made including electric wiring to accommodate Radio Communication equipment and emergency lighting. A three kilowatt generator was acquired from govern- ment surplus which is now installed to supply electric power to message center and office in case of a power failure. Several valuable pieces of equipment were also acquired from government surplus which were issued to various town departments for their use in emergencies. This surplus property is acquired at a cost to the Town of about 517o to 817o of the original cost. At the end of 1957 the records indicate that we have two hundred and forty-five (245) volunteer enrolled work- ers including a staff of twenty-two(22) department chiefs and assistants. Early this year, we were assigned by the Federal Civil Defense Department a two hundred (200) bed hospital equipment now stored in the basement .of the Elementary School on Bearse's Way, Hyannis. This equipment is one of two such hospital equipments on Cape Cod. Through the co-operation of the School Committee and the School Super- intendent we were granted the use of this school for the storage of the equipment, and the ultimate use of the en- tire building in case of a major emergency. The State Civil Defense Agency has also issued the Town of Barnstable two complete first aid station equip- ments, one stored in the Cape Cod Hospital, and the other stored in the Civil Defense rooms. 111 Three training courses are now in progress. a. A program of lectures and demonstrations given by Doctors of the hospital staff. The purpose of this course is to train personnel to function with the hospital in an emergency, natural or war, using the a equipment stored for that purpose. b. A new auxiliary police force is being prepared un- der the direction of the Police Chief. Lt. Eaton at- tended the Massachusetts Civil Defense School at T,opsfield, Massachusetts for special training to con- duct this course. This group of voluntary police is considered necessary to supplement the regular force in an emergency. c. A course in Radiation Physics (RADIAC) is being prepared to train personnel in methods of detection of radiation hazards and the methods of decontam- ination and protection. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, all the town departments and my staff, for their co-operation with the Civil Defense department during the past year. Repectfully submitted, F. G. GALLANT Director 112 Report of THE BARNSTABLE AIRPORT a COMMISSION Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Seven was a year which should be recorded with fanfare; because not only are our ' new facilities almost ready for use but it also was a year of tremendous increase in activity at the airport, as the Manager's and financial reports bring out. Two years ago we came to you, the taxpayers, with a program, which you accepted unanimously. We are not through with the program as yet, but it is gratifying to the Airport Commission to see our airport and air travel grow beyond our expectations. What have we done to date? We have built a new ad- ministration building, apron, auto parking area, additional runway, and improved our airfield lighting to the most modern form. What have we yet to dio? We need additional plane parking area, taxiway with lighting, new fire station, street and auto parking area lighting, and landscaping. These are items which the Town will have to take care of in the near future to complete the job. Some of these items will be presented this year, others we will hold off for future years, for the sake of economy. The Airport Commission wants to take this opportunity to thank the many other Town Departments which have co- �operated with us during our program and we also hope that everyone will come to the airport and see the beautiful asset the Town now has. BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MANAGER'S ANNUAL REPORT 1957 During 1957 the passengers carried at the Airport num- bered 55,670. This represents an increase of 8,006 over last 113 year and is more passengers than have been carried in one year at any time in the Airport's history. Northeast Airlines alone carried 33,691 passengers, an increase of 5,781. Cape & Islands Flight Service carried 4,724, an increase of 685. Itinerant aircraft carried 12,334, « an increase of 1,596 and Air Taxi and locally based planes carried 4,921, an increase of 834. There were 200,590 gallons of gasoline sold, an increase of 62,779 gallons or 311/27o. Oil sales were 1,168 gallons. Flying, Inc., totaled 798:40 hours of student flying, an i increase of 164:30 hours. Total plane movements were 25,833. Freight carried amounted to 816,325 pounds. It should perhaps be noted that these figures represent considerable activity and that these flights and various attendant transactions were carried out over a period when major construction work has been in progress. In the coming year we expect to service larger aircraft, DC-6's and turbo-prop Viscounts. We expect to have an Omni station installed at government expense and located where it will afford assistance to aircraft making instrument approaches. Also of interest is the fact that Northeast Airlines has placed the Barnstable Municipal Airport third on their list of ten top stations for 1957 that show, percentage-wise, the greatest increase in growth and overall activity.

Our work covers such varied jobs as repairs to swim- ming floats to the planting of flowers, shrubs and trees were normal undertakings of our employees. We take note that today there are a total of seventy- four areas under the supervision of the Commission ranging from Historical Markers which require little care and main- tenance to the fourteen acres of Veterans Memorial Park which requires the services of several persons daily. VETERANS' MEMORIAL PARK Ocean Street, Hyannis This area is restricted to residents and guests with an entrance fee for others. This continues to be one of the most popular beaches and picnic areas in the town as shown by the following statistics: Autos: Highest Day (Residents) July 12th 361 Highest Day (Non-Residents) July 21st 265 Total for season residents 8,322 Total for Non-residents 3,263 Total 11,585 People: Highest Day July 4th 492 Highest Week July 4th 2,648 Income was $1,864.47 which was an increase of 64% over 1956. The Water Safety Program conducted by the Play- ground and Recreation Commission registered ninety-eight children in the beginners' swimming classes, and eighty more for the Life Saving courses. 116 The large attendance required two lifeguards on duty at all timers with a third one on weekends. For the first time on Cape Cod the A.A.U. held their New England championship swimming races which were e well contested and attracted a large number of spectators. Another year will see the major improvements com- pleted here and we intend to then improve and incorporate the Camp Howes area in to this Park. - RALPH P. BISMORE MEMORIAL PARK Ocean Street, Hyannis The construction of three more finger piers was com- pleted in time for use during the summer months. This brings to tivelve the number of finger piers providing berths for twenty-four boats. This, also, uses all of the area we have available for boats. The increased use of the berths here is reflected by the receipts from that source. They amounted to $3,690.05 which was an increase of 51`/0 over the same period in 1956. Conditions were very crowded and a large number of i boats were turned away. We again recommend that steps be taken at the annual town meeting to relieve this situation. ELIZABETH LOWELL PARK Cotuit This continues as the home of the Cotuit Athletic Associ- ation's ball team which is the only one in the town. These games are well attended and supported by our local base- ball enthusiasts. There is a need for enlarging and repairing one of the grandstands and, also, for new dugouts and other small improvements. ALL OTHER PARKS The care of all other parks, beaches, squares and monu- ments are of a routine nature and is taken care of by our own forces as required. 117 GENERAL The remarks and recommendations of the Commission are much the same as a year ago, when we noted that the Ocean Street facilities cannot aee,ommodate anywhere near the number of people with boats desiring berths. We should call your attention to the proposed dredging of a twelve- foot channel 100 ft. wide into Hyannis Harbor with an accompanying influx of craft with no place to doek. Under the circumstances we believe it now becomes a matter of some urgency that docking space be made avail- able by the start of the summer season. We, therefore, Have a inserted an article in the Town Warrant for the construction of a bulkhead and finger piers at the foot of Lewis Bay Road. The proposed project will accommodate sixty craft 40 ft. long or a larger number of smaller boats with park- ing facilities for seventy-two cars with possible expansion to ninety cars. We have reached an agreement with the Playground and Recreation Commission whereby: 1. They will be responsible for the recreation program at Veterans' Memorial Park. The 'Park Commission shall continue to operate, care and maintain same. 2. They will continue to operate the recreation program at fosbua's Pond, Hathaway's Pond and Sandy Neck Beach. The Park Commission shall operate, care for and maintain the real propercy of these areas. Both Commissions were unanimously in favor of this change because it takes the Park Commission out iof the program field thus allowing full time to necessary improve- ments and maintenance, and it takes the Playground and Recreation Commission out of care and maintenance field allowing them to concentrate on their recreation program. This should allow result in some savings to the town. At this time the Commission wishes to thank all other town departments, civic and community organizations, and manv individuals for their co-operation and support during the past year. CHARLES N. SAVERY, Chairman WARREN W. COOK ADOLP'H 0. RICHARDS 118 Report of the PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION 1957 During the year 1957 the sum of $21,789.67 was expend- ed by this commission. Through extensive use of our vari- ous properties, a comprehensive schedule of programs, and financial and advisory assistance to other recreational ' groups, the commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in the villages of the town. Ten regular and six special meetings were held; and the beaches, buildings, and areas within our jurisdiction were frequently inspected. The basketball leagues for boys and girls and the men's volleyball were well-attended during the winter months. Our square dance program for children has been extremely popular. They were held outdoors during the summer in addition to the fall-winter-spring sessions at the Junior High School. We were happy to assist the Barnstable Little League, the Babe Ruth League, the Cotuit A. A. baseball team, and the Barnstable Softball League by providing them with various types of equipment. Swimming and water, safety programs were conducted at Hathaway's Pond, Joshua's Pond, Lovell's Pond, Lewis Bay Beach, Veterans' Memorial Park and Sandy Neck. The attendance at these beaches was good, particularly at Sandy Neck, which'showed a tremendous increase over 1956. A year ago in our annual report we stressed the need for a modern recreational building in Hyannis. Inasmuch as the voters at last year's town meeting turned down our request for an appropriation to obtain plans for such a 119 building, it appears there will be no such building in the near future. Therefore we feel that the facilities in the new school buildings should be used to a greater extent for recreational programs, and this commission will proceed with that aim in view. The Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink was presented to the town and placed under our jurisdiction in early Novem- ber. Public response to this project has exceeded all ex- pectations. In the first two months of operation 26,000 men, women and children have skated at the rink! 4 The Kennedy Memorial Rink is an excellent example of how a recreational facility properly designed and operated can be of tremendous value to a community. The expense of operating the rink is of course great, which accounts for the large increase in our budget for 1958. However, $10,000 in receipts were turned over to the town treasurer during the first two months of operation. Indications are that the rink will be self-supporting; but even though this may not prove to be the case, we feel that it has helped to fill a large gap in the town's recreational facilities. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments, the churches, and civic organizations for their whole-hearted cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, GUY H. HARRIS, Chairman GERARD C. BESSE, JR., Secretary JOHN A. DREW ALLEN A. FISK JAMES H. HALLET'T, JR. THOMAS H. O'NEILL CHARLES N. SAVERY 120 Report of THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following are the various reports of the depart- ments under the supervision of the Moth Superintendent: DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT During the months of January and February several large shade trees, which had been found to have the Dutch Elm Disease, were removed. One of these was in Centerville, three in Cotuit, three in Hyannis and the remainder in Barnstable. As these trees were very large and very old, and usually located in front of homes or stores, their re- moval is an expensive item. I would like to say at this dime, that it is not possible to use this wood for firewood, because the State Department of Natural Resources makes " regulations concerning the disposal of these trees and I feel it is a good policy to follow their instructions in the prevention of the spreading of this disease. The wood from any tree infected with Dutch Elm Disease must be buried or burned before the following growing season. The spraying for the Bark Beetle was started about the last week in March and this work was completed in about five weeks. The new blower worked very well. This new machine is capable of producing about four times the volume of the old blower. This helps speed up the spray- ing, because the amount of materials necessary to control the Bark Beetle has been increased yearly and is now over one hundred percent more than in previous years. Without this increased capacity this would more than double the time necessary to cover these same trees. During July and August many samples were taken from the suspected trees in all of the villages. There were more than the usual number of bad looking shade trees last year, mainly because of the long drought. After receiving the laboratory reports, many of these trees were found to 121- a be suffering only from a lack of moisture and I feel sure that they will regain much of their health if we have a nor- mal season next year. As a result of the many samples taken, it was found that there were only eighteen addi- tional confirmed cases of Dutch Elm Disease. The work of removal of these trees was begun at the end of the year and will continue during 1958 and you may be assured that they will be eliminated before another grow- ing season arrives. INSECT PEST CONTROL During the winter months a scouting of the woodland in the suspected areas showed very few Gypsy Moth egg clusters. Over one hundred traps were set out in July and these traps were inspected at intervals of three times a week during the entire season. During this trapping pro- gram there was found to be a noticeable increase of Gypsy Moth infestation in certain areas. These results make it probable that some of these areas will have to be sprayed with an aerial application during the coming season. .I think, and the State Department of Natural Resources agrees also, that it would be much better to do everything possible to eliminate these infestations while they are con- fined to a comparatively small area. This trapping program is carried out in all of the various towns on Cape Cod under the direction of the State Department of Natural Re- sources and it is closely supervised by them. I feel sure that they will do everything in their power to eliminate the possibility of any town becoming badly reinfested. All outbreaks of insects of a minor nature are taken care of regularly and I feel sure that they will not become a serious threat, although there seems to be one or two new insects in this area each year. The experimental work for the elimination of poison ivy on town properties seems to be working quite well. The chemicals used in this work are improving yearly and I can now say that it is possible to remove poison ivy in any given area, providing the eradication work is done - thoroughly. In most cases it is necessary to carry this work on into the second year to make sure all of the roots are thoroughly destroyed. •122 AERIAL SPRAYING In the first part of the year all of the towns in Barn- stable County were asked to participate in a county-wide program for the elimination of the green-head fly and the mosquito. After the program was explained to me, I felt that it would be to the advantage of our town to join in this program. In spraying such large areas as the county, it is possible to get a much better price than for the smaller acreage of the town. In this way, for every dollar spent, more insecticide can be applied. This program was carried i out under the supervision of the State Mosquito Control Department's supervision and the results were very satis- factory. As a result of this success, I will recommend.continued participation in this program for the coming year. The beaches and marshes in the various sections of the town were sprayed the first week in July. The weather, from that point on, continued dry and warm during the rest of the summer season. The lack of moisture eliminated many breeding places of these insects and it was found that after making tests, it was not necessary to spray these beaches a second for third time as in other years. By elim- inating the second and third sprayings, it was possible to return over thirteen hundred dollars of the Aerial Spraying appropriation,to the Town Treasurer. I am asking for a sim- ilar amount to carry out this spraying program this com- ing year to insure the application Hof the second and third sprayings, if necessary, which a normal season requires. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS, Moth Superintendent 123 ' Report of THE TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: In view of the adverse growing conditions and the pro- longed dry spell during this last summer, a great deal of die-back will undoubtedly show up in the large shade trees. This will necessitate additional pruning in order to put the trees in good condition, because it is important to keep the trees as healthy as possible to eliminate the breeding spots of the Bark Beetle. As the past season had very few storms with severe winds, only three large trees were lost during the entire year. Along the roads bordering the south shore, there seems to be a continual die-back of natural growth. This results in a large number of the native pines dying in these loca- tions. On account of the loss of scrub growth, due to accum- ulated affects of the past hurricanes, it is not advisable to plant young shade trees because of the lack of protec- tion. I know these areas look barren to both citizens and visitors, but, in my opinion, this is more the responsibility of the property owners to establish suitable plantings on their own properties than for some town project, which necessarily would be limited to roadside planting. During the past year several citizens have spoken to me and suggested additional tree plantings. If it is pos- sible this year I will expand the tree planting program and I would like to do a considerable amount of planting in the new developments in all of the villages. Also, there are many newly established roads which are in need of shade trees to help beautify them, not only for our own citizens, but the many thousands of visitors that we have each year. I feel that it is the duty of this department to make the town as attractive as possible. The planting of new trees requires a great deal of pre- liminary work, as ninety percent of the new shade trees are planted off the road on private property and each home owner must be interviewed and the desired location of l 24- these.trees must be agreed upon. After the site has been determined, it is then necessary to prepare these locations for planting. After the tree has been planted it has to be watered and cared for over the first two or three years ® until it has established a root system which is sufficient to take care of itself. In this over-all planting project, if any citizen feels that he has not received proper attention, I will be glad to go over the problems with him. The young shade trees throughout the town have been pruned, fertilized, and watered where necessary during the dry season in order to insure their continued growth. Many of these trees are beginning to develop root systems and show promise of being good shade trees in the future. About seventy new shade trees were planted to replace trees which died in the plantings that had been set out in the past few years._A great deal of this replacement has been neces- sary because of damage they have suffered from various accidents. I am pleased to report that the Tent Caterpillar condi- tion has shown an improvement over the previous year. The weather conditions during the spraying season were ideal, which made it possible to get a coverage on all host plants at an early date and this did a great deal to elim- inate this unsightly insect. This work was carried out with the new equipment which was purchased recently and I certainly wish to say that it has worked out, very satis- factorily. I am also pleased to report that the Elm Beetle infesta- tion during the past year shows no increase. The continued warm, dry weather is ideal for the Elm Beetle. All of the large elm trees in the various villages were sprayed. The spraying conditions were good and the control this year seems to have been. better than in any of the recent years. Two small colonies of Spiney Elm Caterpillar were re- ported during this last year. These locations were properly sprayed and the insect eliminated. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS, Tree Warden 125 Report of FOREST FIRE WARDEN January 1, 1958 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable 1 Gentlemen: I herewith submit my eighth annual report which is for the year ending December 31, 1957. The Department answered 105 calls for brush and grass fires and assistance to other departments in the town. Nine out of town calls for assistance were also answered. There were 79 acres burned in the Town of Barnstable. This past ,year was one of the driest years I have. ex- perienced since being Forest Warden. The two patrolmen worked seven days a week practically all spring and sum- mer. Due to the fine work of patrolling and the coopera- tion of the other departments on Cape Cod we were spared a great deal of burned woods in our town. The equipment of the Department is in fine condition. I wish at this time. to thank the Highway Department, the Board of Health, the Fire Districts, and any others who helped so much this year.

CLAMS The Clams are making good progress in Barnstable Harbor. We have several acres of new seed, and although there was some loss to predators, a good percentage has lived. This seed now has passed the tender stage and its chances of survival are very good. With this new seed and the seed of last year, which has grown rapidly, the future of the Barnstable Clams looks good. QUAHOGS There were 1,0231/2 bushels of mixed Quahogs planted in 1957. Of this amount 4231/2 bushels were planted for family use in the following places: South of the Fish Hills in Hyannis Dowse's Flat in Osterville The remaining 600 bushels were planted for propaga- tion purposes in deep water in the Ropes Beach area in Cotuit. OYSTERS Oyster seed has been noted in several areas. The largest sets are in Prince's Cove and Marstons Mills River. In Prince's Cove some of the set was up high where it was exposed to freezing. We moved approximately 250 bushels of this seed into deeper water. 131 Bumps River was opened this Fall for the taking of Oysters for;family use. A large amount of Oysters have been taken froni here since the opening, but there is still a good supply left. SCALLOPS Our Scallop supply this year was small. There is a fair amount of seed scallops in West Bay, Osterville, and in Lewis Bay, Hyannis. RAZOR CLAIMS The Razor Clams are about as plentiful as in previous years. PEST CONTROL The following figures were reported for pests destroyed in 1957: 1,901 Cockles 2,493 Horseshoe Crabs 65 bushels of Green Crabs Respectfully submitted, REINO LAMPI 132 Report of SEALER OF WEIGHTS.

Although many problems arise that are common to those who occupy the position of landlord, these problems have been successfully dealt with by the Authority upon the cooperation of the various State and Local Agencies. Several evictions from the project were executed for failure on the part of the tenant to pay rent or for other breach of lease condition. Although the State Housing Board, which board controls the expenditures at the project, is generally reluctant to grant permission for Authorities having any sizeable number of rents in arrears to expend funds for improvements and renovations; upon the State Board's com- ing to understand the nature of our problem at the Project, and that every possible• effort was being exerted to discon- tinue the tenancy of those tenants who were unwilling to pay the rents charged, they were most cooperative and help- ful in assisting the Authority in the improvement, painting, and cleaning of the grounds on General Patton Drive where our project is located. • Vacancies have been on the increase at the project and for about six months the project has averaged approxi- mately 18 percent vacancies. We are hesitant, however, to be too liberal in our selection of tenants for the expense of renovating premises which have been abused, phis the cost of evictions where tenants refuse to pay rent., are deterents to the careless and unconsidered selections of oc- cupants. We feel; however, that this condition will remedy itself for the best over the coming months and that a stable and responsible tenancy will develop if we proceed with prudence in this regard. 134 Rent collections at the moment are very good; although as above indicated, they have presented certain problems in the earlier part of the year. Upon resignation of Mr. Frederick Melchoir in Septem- ber of 1957, we were fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Alice Bailey, who had previously been doing the bulk of the clerical work of this Authority, to assume the man- agement of the project. Her work and management has been of great help to the Authority. The Authority made Payment to the Town of Barnstable in lieu of taxes for the year 1957 the sum of $1,080.00. As of December 31, 1957, there were 30 tenants at the project leaving 10 vacancies. The admission and continued occupancy limits for the project are $3,950 and $4,400 re- pectively for families with one or less minor dependents, $4,150 and $4,600 respectively for families with two minor dependents, and $4,350 and $4,800 respectively for families with three or more minor dependents. The minimum monthly rent for the 18 three-bedroom houses is $40.00, and the min- imum monthly rent for the 22 two-bedroom houses is $35.00 per month. A plan to turn the utility line over to the Cape and Vineyard Electric Company has received the approval iof the State Housing Board. We believe that such an arrange- ment will work to the advantage of the Authority. To date, the Authority has assumed the cost of electric power at the project and has pro-rated this cost among the tenants at the project. Although this resulted in a low utility expense to the tenants, we believe that the same end can be accom- plished by the installation of off-peak meters and by turn- ing the utility services over to the Cape and Vineyard Elec- tric Company. It will also reduce the clerical detail of the Authority and will prevent arrearages building up as quick- ly if future tenants fail to pay rents. Respectfully submitted, David Rockwood, Assistant Treasurer Irving Poll, Chairman Philip Leonard, Vice-Chairman E. Joslin Whitney; Secretary Thomas Milne, Treasurer 135 Report of SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable We respectfully submit the following report,pertaining to the Sewer Department for the year 1957. Mr. Kenneth' Bearse, Superintendent, reports that no ' serious trouble developed at the pumping Station during the year 1957 to cause any suspension of service. During the year 1957 occasional power failures occurred which necessitated using the auxiliary power system. This system functioned satisfactorily on every occasion. During the year 1957, there was an estimated 156,- 000,006 gallons of sewerage pumped to the filter beds. This amount represents an increase of approximately 5,000,000 over'the year 1956. Also during the year 1957 the new Clarification System at the Filter Beds was completed and tested and is now in operation. This new system has modernized our System and it now is able to accommodate the ever increasing load put on it by the expansion of the section of the Town it serves. The Filter Beds are in excellent condition and continue to function satisfactorily. During the year 1957 the Sewer Commissioners' acting on behalf of the Town, applied for and were granted from the Federal Government a grant of $34,541.62. This Grant was in connection with the work done at the Filter Beds. Before receiving payment of the Grant, the project was subjected to both Federal and State Inspections and Audit. The Sewer Department wishes to thank the various departments of the Town, who during the past year have assisted us from time to time. This cooperation has been most unselfish and helpful. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT F. SCUDDER, Chrm. EBEN S. HINCKLEY H. LESTER SHERMAN, JR., Secretary 136 Report of INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS- To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable v Gentlemen: I wish to urge all cattle owners to have their cattle Bangs tested. The town had two reactors to Bangs Disease or Contagious Abortion during the past year, thus proving the need for continued vigilance. There were 70 dog bites reported throughout the year. These dogs were placed under quarantine for the 'required 14 days and released when so ordered by the State Animal Disease Department. The annual inventory was taken during December and much to my regret, the small livestock owners continue to decrease. Dog bites continue to be a serious problem. Recently one dog bite occurring in the town has resulted in "the owner being sued for a large amount of money. Plus a long stay in the hospital for the person bitten. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. 'CIIASE Animal Inspector 137 Report of THE BOARD OF HEALTH For 1957 The Board of Health remains busy with many new problems. Mr. Robert Chase continues to be an invaluable asset to the Town and Mrs. Anna Caskin remains working at high efficiency. The members of the Board of Health are grateful to them and feel that the townspeople should also feel fortunate in having them. We have had excellent cooperation from the Doctors and have recently run a large clinic for adults. At this ses- sion 588 poliomyelitis shots were administered. We plan to have another one in February and limited primarily to adults. It seems to us that the mothers and fathers can find the time and money to take care of their children but are apt to neglect themselves. We are grateful to all the Doctors and nurses for their cooperation. Miss Margaret Cooper and her District Nurses do a fine job in setting up the various clinics. Dr. Frederick Moore has been more than helpful in obtaining vaccine and record cards. Each year brings some new problem. We are in the process now of setting up Rules and Regulations for the proper handling of swimming pools. They are undoubtedly very popular and considerably more complicated to keep in good condition than on might superficially suspect. Mr. Chase is studying this problem with the State Engineers and has received good cooperation from those people who have swimming pools. The dump is running well under the supervision of Mr. Peters. We contemplated buying new equipment this year but feel that we can get along with what we have for at least another year. The dump looks clean, smells clean and shows efficient management. 138 Mr. Chase has a monumental amount of work to do with the restaurants in the Summer and we had a part time Sanitarian helping this summer. This worked out very well. The checking of the restaurants and eating places is V an endless task, although the cooperation of the proprie- tors has been excellent. The problem is one of educating the help. The Dental Clinic has been running well with however the same problem of how much money to spend, weighing the benefits to the patients on the one hand against the cost to the taxpayers on the other. Mr. George Churchill has done an excellent job as Plumbing Inspector and has received good cooperation from the plumbers in the Town. The District Nursing Association is one of the best investments that the Town can make and we see this each time we run a clinic and in many other ways. We are, in- deed grateful to them. JOHN 0. NILES, M.D. The following communicable diseases were reported to the Board of Health: Chickenpox 18 German measles 8 Measles 4 Mumps 15 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 5 Scarlet Fever 3 Whooping Cough 1 There were 70 dog bites reported? 139 REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR During the year of 1957, there were 526 Plumbing per- mits issued. Again this year many of these permits were Commercial Buildings and Motels, requiring many return inspections. This past year saw the completion of the plumb- ing in the new Barnstable High School, also the Telephone Exchange on Ocean Street. I would again like to stress the importance of anyone planning to build near any lake, marsh or tidewaters, to get in touch with the. Board of Health Office to see if there is a sewer problem in the area. In the past, many have over- ' looked this important part of the building program, result, a loss of time and money. During the past year, I have travelled 14,380 miles in the course of inspections. I wish at this time to thank all other Town Depart- ments, also the Plumbers, for the cooperation I have re- ceived from them in the past year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E.

REPORT OF THE DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION To the Barnstable Board of Health.. The program of the District Nursing Association in the town of Barnstable has been carried on duripg 1957 along the same lines and in the usual routine manner as in the previous years. The demand for bedside, nursing in the home has con- tinued at much the same pace as in former years and our visits for health supervision to all age groups has been about as usual, in all our total number of visits in the town of Barnstable was 2,804. 141 Our clinic work included a monthly Well-Child Con- ference with a Pediatrician in attendance, an annual Eye Clinic for the school children and twelve clinics for the Salk Vaccine program. We were ably assisted in the Salk program by members of the Graduate Nurses' Club whose help we greatly appreciated. Other clinics held at the Cape Cod Hospital that require follow-up work are the once a month Chest Clinic held by the Barnstable County Hospital nad the Crippled Children's Clinic sponsored by the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health. All premature babies are reported to us by the Hos- pital and we make one or more home visits to learn about their home conditions and their progress in growth and development. To all other health workers in the Community we would like to add a note of appreciation for their cooperation and good will.

The vaccine program for the prevention of poliomye- litis was continued during the year. The vast majority of children who had previously received two doses of the vac- cine were given a third dose, and by the end of the year, a high proportion -of our population under twenty years of age had been vaccinated. Only one mild non-paralytic case of the disease was reported during the year. However, it should be noted that services for crippled persons who suffered the effects of the disease in previous years, chiefly during the year 1955, were• continued. This involved additional demands on the Crippled Children's Service and on the funds raised by the local chapter .of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Services in sanitation, nursing, child guidance and dental hygiene were carried out during the year at about the usual level.

L. MOORE, M.D., M.P.H. County Health Officer ,�45 REPORT OF PERSONNEL BOARD The Personnel Board submits the following report for the year 1957. The salary reclassification plan as adopted by the Town at the Town Meeting in March 1957 has apparently proven very satisfactory as very few requests for basic changes were requested from the Personnel Board. Changes were requested by the Welfare Agent, Assist- ant Engineer in the Highway Department, and the Assist- ant in the Sewer Department, but all requests were denied. A change in the base classification was requested by the Manager of the Airport for one of the clerks in that Department which was granted since she had not been given the full experience credit rating recommended by the Salary Classification Committee. Salary classifications were determined for two new positions created for the new Skating Rink. The Police Department requested a change in the hours per week from 44 hours to 40 hours and also requested an increase in personnel for two Sergeants so that there might be three shifts with a separate officer in charge of each. The Personnel Board felt that it was the trend throughout the Commonwealth to place most municipal Police Depart- ments on a 40 hour week and both requests of the Police Department were granted. Since merit promotions within each classification for all Departments are based on the recommendations of the Department heads subject to the approval of the Board of Selectmen, such promotions did not have to be consid- ered by this Board. Appropriation for clerical work for this Board of $500 was voted at the Town Meeting of which $258 has been expended in compiling the records, the written descriptions of each position, and information relative thereto as re- quired by Section 3 of the By-Law. Respectfully submitted EDWARD KELLY, Chairman Personnel Board 146 COMMITTEE APPOINTED UNDER ARTICLE 108 n A special committee was appointed by the Moderator at the 1957 Annual Town Meeting to look into the feasi- bility of incorporating parts of the Park Department into other departments of the town system. This committee met throughout the year, holding many meetings with the de- partment heads and several commissions of the town. It soon became apparent that a good many of the problems could not be solved in one year's study, so the problems that stood out as most prominent were approached first and in 1958 this committee has inserted in the Annual Warrant flour articles which will go a long way, we feel, toward solving several outstanding problems. Article 1. :Move that the town Highway Department be directed to collect all refuse from all public beaches, town buildings, and park areas. This committee felt that there was a good deal of dupli- cation in the present system of refuse collection which is used in connection with pools, beaches, parks, and public buildings. It is our sincere belief that if this was under one head it'would present a considerable saving and the re- sponsibility would be fixed, ultimately the efficiency would be much improved. Article 2. Move that all the operation, repair, mainte- nance and upkeep of the bulkheads, piers, and docks at the Bismore Park on Ocean Street, FIyannis, be put under the jurisdiction ofthe Selectmen. It was found that in Massachusetts, docks, piers, and bulkheads in about all other towns are under jurisdiction of the Selectmen, and with the probability of a marina in the not too far distant future being located at Hyannis, it was thought that this matter should be corrected so as to have the• Harbor Master, who is directly under the Select- men, in a position of control as rightly he should be. Article 3. Move that all labor, maintenance, and up- keep of the town park lands be under the supervision of the Highway Surveyor and a certain sum of money be transferred from the Park Department to the Highway Department. 147 This problem was given a great deal of study as it was very apparent that the Park Department would soon have to ask for a garage to house its equipment and have a place to do maintenance work. This would ultimately mean additional labor, heat, lights, etc. It was also felt in our study that there has been a great need for better super- r vision of Park Department personnel, and during the. win- ter months a problem has often arisen as to just where to place these men. We found that the Highway Department has some parks which they maintain and there is presently room at the Highway Department garage for all Park De- partment men and equipment, along with a mechanic on , duty at all times, gasoline and oil is available, and constant supervision. These would be available without any addi- tional expense. This system would allow the Park Commis- sion to act as a commission but place all of the actual labor and work under the Highway Department. This, without any doubt, would result in a.sizeable saving to the town. Article 4. Move that the Moderator appoint this com- mittee or a similiar committee to act for an additional year. This committee is well aware of the problems that are now facing many departments, and it is very apparent that many more savings could be made• in the town by the elimination of duplication. We feel that a good deal of headway will have been gained with the enactment of the above articles. Another year of study would allow us to search into such problems as all building maintenance under one head, all lifeguards under one head, and many other apparent duplications. In closing, we wish to thank the many town depart- ments and commissions for their gracious help, in making this report possible. Respectfully submitted WALCOTT AMES, JR. Chrm. BERNARD WILBUR WILLIAM BALL WILLARD P:HILLIPS ROBERT COUNSELL 148 THE JOHN JENKINS WILDLIFE REkRVATI'ON A quiet year at the Reservation. The awaited arrival of the railroad ties for bridging the mucky spots in the path being the most important event. The extended drought also helped that condition. The ,paths were moved frequently and kept well open by the Park Commission. One long planned event, a Garden Club meet in May, was a failure because of a pouring rainstorm, only two hardy members braved the elements. Several bird walks were, however, much enjoyed. This thick natural cover of virgin swampland is ideal for all migratory bird life and nests are numerous. Twice during the midsummer Mrs. Curry of Centerville brought her �-roup of Girl Scouts to do a pruning job around the John Jenkins Maple when the clethra was be- coming a nuisance. She r,ports that they enjoyed the work and were charmed with the Reservation as a whole. (Other groups please take notice.) Mrs. Bearse of Hyannis also took her Scoiits there for a hike. The Reservation grows in interest and beauty. We re- gret it is not better known. The plant labels are, as nearly as possible, kept plain and legible while the various colonies of wildings are mostly increasing in size and beauty. A ramble through Jenl:ins' P-servation is well worth under.- taking.

This report will not attempt a, detail of the day to day work of the town counsel. An outline would include the drafting and completion of documents relating to the ex- pansion of airport properties and facilities, contracts for school development, defense of claims made against the town and advice regarding general municipal activities to officers, boards and commissions. It was reported last year in the case of several suits which were pending against the town that there did not seem to be any chance of substantial damages being award- ed. This has proven to be correct. Three cases then pending in the Superior Courts of Worcester, Suffolk and Barnstable Counties involving claims for alleged sidewalk defects have been settled. One land damage case arising from the taking of land for school purposes has also been settled within the limits of the appropriation made by the town. Another case brought in the Plymouth Superior Court involving a claim for injuries sustained at the town's bath house at Craig- ville Beach has been tried and decided by directed verdict in favor of the town, and recently another land damage case has been settled also within the limits of the town's appropriation_. There are presently pending several land damage cases . in the Barnstable Superior Court. One• of these is close to settlement,and the others in the opinion of the town counsel will be disposed of on a reasonable basis. l5"0 Last year a detailed report was given on the disposi- tion of the "Sidney A. Kirkman and Mary Lewis Kirkman Fund" made by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York. With practically all of these funds now received p and invested it is apparent that the income could be used for broader purposes than those specified under the terms of the bequest. It is the intention of the selectmen and the town counsel within a short time to apply to the court for a broader application of the surplus income. As has been reported to you in the past the work of the town counsel has been, made pleasant, by the complete cooperation of all of the town's officers, committees, boards, commissions and employees and I might add all inhabitants of the town.

Resolution urianhYlously adopted at a Special Town Meeting held in the Barnstable High School Auditorium, on June 3, 1957. IS' Report of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: Education and public schools are much in the fore at the present time. More effective education, adequate school buildings, supply of teachers and salaries, bus transporta- tion, lunch programs,. kindergartens, and meeting future needs are receiving consideration. Your School Committee is and has been giving thought and study to these matters so that our town may provide public school education on the highest level equipping our young people for life• and developing outstanding citizens. Adequate School Facilities Three new school buildings, were opened in the town during the past year; namely, the Cotuit Elementary School, the Barnstable High School, and the Barnstable -West Barnstable Elementary School. The Cotuit Elementary School is practically complete, except for minor adjustments and equipment; the grounds have been landscaped and the playfield constructed. The Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School was opened this fall. There is.further work to be done on the landscaping and to provide playground accommoda- tions. The Cotuit and Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary Schools are equipped with kindergarten rooms, all purpose rooms as well as kitchens and cafeterias. There is a separate gymnasium at the Barnstable-West Barnstable School. There are rooms now used for visual education study, and ready for classroom use as the school population grows in those communities. The new Barnstable High School Building is affording the town the long desired opportunity to have its high school classes in their own building and with their own program. In addition to the classrooms, gymnasium and auditorium, the new school houses an expanded Trade 158 School program, thus opening opportunities for further training in trades. The High School curriculum was expand- ed to included grades 9, 10, 11, and 12; thus giving us an educational system of six grades in Elementary School, two u in Junior High, and.four in the Senior High School. Except for the further development of athletic fields, the new Barnstable High School project will.be completed when the usual adjustments within the guarantee period are made and after a few further items of equipment have been added. Plans were prepared for laying out a football field, a baseball diamond, practice fields, fields for girls, athletics and for physical education classes. To date, funds from the appropriation have made it possible only to pre- pare the football field, and the baseball diamond, and to grade the rest of the area for future development. Supply of Teachers and Salaries Your Committee feels that our town is favored with a fine faculty. In the closing weeks of 1957 your Committee received requests from the teachers for consideration of changes in the Salary Schedule. A year ago the teachers requested that provision be made to bring them all to their proper places on the Salary Schedule over a 3-year period. The School Committee approved their request, and funds were included in the school budget and voted at that time. With changes in the salary schedules being considered, or already voted, by other towns on the Cape and in the Commonwealth, it would appear that there will be need for changes in the minimum and maximum in the Town of Barnstable Salary Schedule for Teachers. Our present mini- mum is $3500, and,our maximum $5200. The trend is toward a starting salary of $3600. and up, and to a maximum salary, after twelve years, of $5500. .or more. These figures relate to a Bachelor's Degree with an additional $200. or $300. for a Master's Degree, and further increase, for a Doctor's Degree. Bus Transportation Your Committee is fully aware of the problems involved in providing transportation for approximately 1,737 chil- dren and young people spread over a wide geographical area when the elementary, junior and senior high schools 159 all start at the same twine. It means that some children must leave home at an early hour, be at school a consider- able time before opening, and get home late after school. Many suggestions have been offered such as: provision for the establishment of more bus route's and more buses; the 1 establishment of bus stops at reasonable distances apart or the limitation of the use of school buses to pupils living at distances from school preseribed by State law. The Com- mittee, mindful tof the many problems involved and the con- cern of parents, is giving careful study to this matter. The Lunch Program With the erection of the new elementary school in Marstons Mills there will be modern kitchen and lunch- room facilities in all schools in the Town of Barnstable except the Osterville Elementary School. Plans and pro- posals were submitted for a cafeteria, kitchen, kindergarten and offices for the Osterville School at the annual Town Meeting last year. Lacking the support of the citizens of the village, the Town Meeting failed to act favorably on the article submitted. Kindergarten Kindergarten rooms are now being made available to parent groups for community-sponsored kindergartens with programs acceptable to the School Department in Cotuit And Barnstable -West Barnstable. Provision will be made for the same in the new Marstons Mills School. The pro- gram was in effect at Centerville last year but had to be transferred from the school because of the need of the room for an additional first grade this year. The program can be extended under community sponsorship .or a part of the School system when kindergarten rooms are provided again in Centerville and also in Osterville and Hyannis. Further Problems for Attention and Action There is urgent need for extensive repairs and renova- tions at the Junior High School building. In addition to Grades 7 and 8, Grades 5 and 6, in Hyannis, are housed in the Junior High building and it may be necessary to trans- fer an additional grade in the near future. With children coming from modern elementary schools and later going into a modern high school, it is desirable that the Junior 160 High building be made more adequate and attractive. The girls' gymnasium is in need of repair, for safety, and also of soundproofing to make it more serviceable. The lockers in the girls' and boys' locker rooms need to be replaced. Changes are necessitated in the dining and kitchen areas due to the larger number of children served through the lunch program. Classrooms need to be repainted. A study of the needs has been made. Decision rests with the voters of the town whether or not they wish the renova- tion and repairs done over two or three years or done at once. They must be done. It would be most beneficial to ' the students, faculty, and educational program, if they might be largely done during the coming summer. The citizens of the Town of Barnstable have provided for adeauate school facilities in Cotuit, Barnstable-West Barnstable, and at the Barnstable High School to meet school needs for the foreseeable future. The situation at Osterville is called to ,your attention through a special article. Your Committee must call to your attention that crowded conditions will soon exist at the Hyannis Elemen- tary School and at the Centerville Elementary School. It. appears inevitable that action will have to be taken at not too distant a date to provide more rooms, either by addi- tions to the Hyannis Elementary School and the Centerville Elementary School or by the erection of a new elementary school to supplement the schools of those twvo villages. Original plans for the Hyannis Elementary School called for more classrooms and for an appropriation for the same. The town voted a lesser appropriation with the knowledge that rooms would of necessity be omitted. Only modest pro- vision for growth was made in the Centerville School as the first bids exceeded the money appropriated and the plans had to be revised and rebid to keep within the. appro- priation. The school population now numbers 2,596, an increase of 93 over the previous school year. The school faculty now numbers 127 and the janitorial staff, 21. Additional buses were added this fall to meet transportation needs. In order to fulfill its duties, the School Committee held 45 called meetings during 1957 and the members gave many additional hours to committee work, visits to school build- ings, and to the study and supervision of school projects. 161 Mr. Eugene S. Cullum moved from the Cape and re- signed from the Committee. He showed a genuine interest in our schools and was helpful as a member of the Com- mittee. Mr. Ruben Anderson is completing twelve years of faithful service on the School Committee and a resolution in recognition of his outstanding service to the Town is being attached to this report. Your School Committee is mindful that many people gave generously of their time and thought, individually and and on committees in suggesting layouts and equipment for the new schools, in the opening of them and at Open Houses, as well as in the over-all conduct of the regular school program. The Committee, in extending thanks to them, is especially mindful of all the time and thought given by the Superintendent of Schools, the Secretary in the School Committee office, the Principal of the new High School, and the Principals of the new elementary schools. Your School Committee is confident that all adminis- trators, principals, and teachers are first and foremost con- cerned with the product of our schools rather than the school plants, as is the School Committee, and that our schools will increasingly reflect higher standards of educa- tion for all. Your Committee is grateful to all taxpayers and par- ents for their -understanding of our school problems and their cooperation, in supporting our schools. In_turn, your Committee has been most careful of expenditures, conserva- tive in requests for funds only as needed, and has en- deavored to be cooperative with officials and organizations in the Town. Funds for schools and education are a town's best investment in character and citizenship. Respectfully submitted CARL FEARING SCHULTZ, Chairman JEAN G. HINKLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON P. GORDON NELSON 162 RESOLUTION OF THE RETIREMENT OF RUBEN E. ANDERSON WHEREAS, Ruben E. Anderson is retiring from the Barnstable School Committee, March 3, 1958, after having served as a member of the Committee.the past twelve years, and WHEREAS, he has ever been most vitally interested in the welfare of all children in our School and the well being of all aspects iof the Schools of the Town, and the personnel and program, and WHEREAS, he has been most faithful in attendance at the meetings of the Committee and also at school activi- ties, educational, civic, and athletic, and WHEREAS, he has been most unselfish in his services, through advice and assistance, especially regarding details related to the plans and program for renovations to our school buildings and the erection of six new school build- ings during the past twelve years, responding to any re- quest for service at any time and anywhere in Town, and WHEREAS, he has ever been prompted by a deep ap- preciation of the privilege of education afforded through the public schools and a sense of responsibility to the citi- zens of the Town, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED: That recognition and appreciation be given at this time for his untiring efforts and immeasurable help, and that this resolution be spread upon the records of the School Committee and in the next annual Town Report. Respectfully, for the School Committee and for the Town, Carl Fearing Schultz, Chairman Jean G. Hinkle P. Gordon Nelson 163 Report of The Superintendent of Schools Harvard H. Broadbent The year 1957 was marked by great improvements in the physical facilities of the Barnstable Public Schools with the opening of the Barnstable High, Cotuit, and Barnstable- West Barnstable Schools. These new schools are an asset to the Town and none will deny that great improvements have been made in the physical plant of our public schools. But fine new structures do not automatically insure an improvement in the quality of education being provided. Therefore, in the pages that follow, various administrators in your school system have been asked to point out briefly the ways in which the new school buildings enable us to provide a better education for the young people of the Town of Barnstable. We feel sure that such advantages as smaller classes, an expanded curriculum, a better environment for study, a more comprehensive Trade School, a small class giving special attention to pupils with learning difficulties, and one grade per teacher instead of combined grades in our elementary schools will result in better education. Some phases of an educational program can be meas- ured objectively; other phases are a matter of subjective Judgment. Our three new schools have not been in operation long enough to permit an objective evaluation of their effec- tiveness upon our educational program. With the expenditure of millions of dollars for new buildings by the taxpayers, it is incumbent upon your schools to provide better education commensurate with the funds which have been invested. Wherever possible, an ob- jective measurement will be made of our progress. We feel 164 certain that the administrators and teachers of your school system will take advantage.,of the• new facilities which have been provided to the end that a dollar's worth of improved education will be provided for every dollar which has been p expended on improved school facilities. The construction and opening of our new schools has involved a great deal of time and work on the part of many individuals. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the School Committee, School Depart- ment personnel, and other Town officials whose cooperation ' and assistance has been outstanding. To the citizens, parents and pupils, as well as to the numerous organizations who have cooperated and assisted in the successful operation of our schools during the past year, I would also like to extend sincere appreciation. 165 BARNSTABLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Hazel V. Connor, Supervisor i The Town of Barnstable can look with pride upon its many fine new elementary schools. The Hyannis Elementary School will celebrate its seventh birthday in February. Cen- terville School is in its fifth year. Cotuit School opened its doors last April, and the Barnstable-West Barnstable School was ready fer the children in that area this past September. Marstons Mills anticipates a new building to meet its needs in the first part of 1959. What does this mean to the elementary school children of the Town of. Barnstable? It means better constructed buildings and more room for classes, but more important, it means an increased opportunity to learn, to grow towards the kind of citizens needed in this democracy of ours. A school's first duty to a child is to provide him with a safe, healthful, comfortable place in which to spend his day. Our new schools have been built with this in mind. From the time children arrive at school, the thought for them is evident. A safe place for them to play under super. vision is provided on grassy areas or hard-top surfaecs. Children enter a modern building with well-lighted halls and rooms. The first impression received upon looking into a class- room of our new schools is one of spaciousness and li,,;-ht. Polished floors of asphalt tile have replaced the oily, unsani- tary floors; pastel walls and light wood have supplanted dull buff nor tan `walls and dark wood; tinted glass chalk- boards have superseded the black slate blackboards, and there are large window areas—all with the purpos^ of meet- ing good school standards of light distribution and cleanli- ness, plus the desire for a workable., pleasant, healthful atmosphere for our children. The furnishings of the rooms reflect further planning for the children. Movable desks and chairs are of a light wood. Many bookshelves and counter spaces, pegboards and 166 bulletin boards, and roomy closets provide space for books, materials to be used, places to work and to display the results of the learning activities. Acoustic the absorbs such noises as those made by chairs and desks, the moving of feet, and shuffling .of books and papers. The absence of these sounds makes it possible for the children to study in a quiet atmosphere, helping them to concentrate without distraction and paving the way for good study habits. Our new schools contain health rooms where first, aid, physical. examinations, eye and ear tests, measuring and weighing of children take place. While sick children are waiting for their parents, they may rest upon cots placed in these health rooms for that purpose. The newest schools have self-contained toilet facilities for first graders, and well-veritilated rest-rooms are tiled in order that they .can be kept cleaner and more sanitary. A thermostat controls the temperature of each room at the proper degree for good health. A univent blows in cold, fresh air and mixes it with warm air which is cir- culated around the room, and the used air is driven out through the cold air vents doing away with the old, custom- ary stale schoolroom odor. Multi-purpose rooms furnish a place for luncheon, audi- torium and gymnasium. Cotuit has such a room enabling a fine lunch program to be carried on in a most, satisfactory manner. The auditorium-cafeteria room in Barnstable-West Barnstable gives those children a much improved place to eat and to be served. More varied meals can be given be- cause of the new kitchen equipment and greater «ork space. Our new schools have a place for physical education, dancing, and elementary training in basketball and other sports, encouraging an interest in games and physical fitness. Leadership is developed through this program. Emphasis is also placed on the ability to be a good "follower", .one who cheerfully follows and obeys directions. More activities to develop good sportsmanship and topportunities for work- ing and playing together for the good of the group are pos- sible with the proper additional space and equipment which our schools now have. 167 The auditorium facilities give opportunities to all the children of the town to share in educational movies and filmstrips. Preparing and giving concerts and plays are now possible, providing the children with a chance to per- form before an audience and to utilize, any talents they possess. Experiences in coming before a large group builds self-confidence and poise besides being something happy to remember as an important happening in a particular grade. The music and art supervisors have added opportunity through these assembly programs to add enrichment, to the curriculum of the gifted child. With the exception of Marstons Mills which will go on a one grade to a classroom schedule when their new school is ready, the school department has been able to eliminate the double grade situation from every village. This is very important because it enables teachers to give more in- dividual instruction and to do more concentrated classroom teaching. In many cases, it also means fewer children per teacher which increases the time which can be spent with each pupil. With physical conditions so ideal, the children are ready to learn. The quiet, pleasant surroundings are con- ducive to learning. Globes, maps, pictures, charts, books, art materials, records, filmstrips, hobby shows, science col- lections, social studies exhibits, and three dimensional dis- plays invite the children to learn, to grow, to share, to gain new experiences which will challenge them to do their best work each day. Provision for children who need special help has been made possible through the establishment of a class for in- dividual instruction. Children who need this particular type of teaching are transported to the Hyannis Elementary School where a special class is assembled under town and state supervision. Children show a fine sense of responsibility for their new schools. School rooms are singularly free of bits of paper, erasers, crayons, and such. The floors are clean when the children come in in the morning, and, with some teacher guidance, the floors are not cluttered at night. Surprisingly few scratches on doors nor glass are found, because the children,have had pointed out to them that the school will 168 stay in as good a condition as the children want it to stay, and pride has kept the schools new looking. This can be demonstrated by an inspection either the seven year old Hyannis Elementary School or the four and a half year old Centerville School. Respect for the property iof others, and a responsibility for doing one's share in keeping rooms, halls, lunchrooms, and play areas clean and in order have been inculcated because of a pride in the new buildings. With these fundamental goals in mind, there has been provided for the children of the Town of Barnstable; a i safe, healthful, pleasant atmosphere, improved places to work and play well together, increased material to carry out group experience, small numbers in classrooms, and one grade to a room to provide more individual instruction, fine lunchroom facilities, roomy recreation areas, audi- toriums for concerts and plays, and opportunities to train for and practice. good citizenship. Alert, understanding, and forward-lookinm men and women of the Town of Barnstable have made these excellent elementary schools possible be- cause they realize that support of a good school system does result, in educating for well-rounded, well-educated citizens of tomorrow. BARNSTABLE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOT. John C. Linehan, Principal The Junior High School is a new subdivision of our educational system, instituted in the fall of 1957, made pos- sible by the completion of the new modern high school building. One hundred thirty-eight pupils from grade five, one hundred from grade six, one hundred sixty-three seventh graders and two hundred thirteen eighth grade pupils, a total of six hundred fourteen were enrolled at the former High School last September. Pupils in grades five and six 169 are an independent unit, having a separate lunch period, play period and faculty operating under conditions similar to all Elementary Schools in Barnstable. Basically, this is an excellent building with two gym- nasiums, a lunch room with seating capacity of about three hundred eighty, a six hundred seat auditorium, library space, metal and -Nvoodworking shops, cooking and sewing rooms, offices and most important, twenty-nine classrooms. Four of these classrooms are equipped for the instruction of science. Outside the building excellent play and sports areas are near at hand. i With more than adequate space available, class sizes were reduced making possible more efficient instruction. A variety of types .of classrooms and subjects are the foundation of a modern junior high school. Pupils in our seventh and eighth grades are instructed in many different subjects to determine individual pupil strengths and weak- nesses. Teacher observations, aptitude, interest and ability tests, plus pupil accomplishment aid pupils and parents in making intelligent choices of high school courses before leaving grade eight. This building has sufficient classrooms to meet the de- mands of a growing school population at the junior high school level. Adequate areas for instruction, smaller classes, a variety of subject matter being taught, all were made possible by our extensive school building program. With the competent, teachers, modern school buildings, cooperative parents and pupils, our educational progress should continue. BARNSTA'BLE HIGH SCHOOL Briah K. Connor, Principal The new Barnstable High ,School represents a large capital commitment of the townspeople, and the question comes to the minds of many as to what we are- going to get for our money besides the physical plant. It has been many years since there has been adequate 170 classroom space for the high school classes. Crowded con- ditions whether in housing areas, or in schools contribute to many undesirable situations in conduct, working and liv- ing conditions. The new school now provides for more room u which has enabled us to reduce the size of classes to ap- proximately 25, which is considered the optimum. The significance of smaller classes is at once evident. Teachers can give more individual attention to the pupils, and this is particularly important whether the pupil be slow in grasping the t,opie, or is a pupil for whom the par- ticular topic offers little or no difficulty. Smaller classes mean less fatigue and strain in the classroom for the teacher. The number of papers to be corrected is decreased, and only those who have gone home with 125 -150 papers to be cor- rected and graded know the magnitude Hof this task, partic- ularly if the questions be of the essay type. Similar classes also allow better grouping of pupils with common interests and similar abilities. The end result is better instruction in the classroom. , The construction of the building with its light, colorful rooms and corridors creates an atmosphere which is con-, ducive to study and learning. The improved lighting dispels any effect resulting from dark or stormy weather. Acousti- cal tile absorbs and eliminates much of the extraneous noise which is a cause of fatigue to teachers and pupils, thus greater concentration and applicatdon can be given to the immediate problem. The new building provides larger and better equipped rooms for commercial subjects, industrial arts, household arts, art, music, science, agriculture, health, and physical education. In addition, the auditorium is now large enough to seat the entire student body. Rooms are now available for audio-visual instruction, and pupil activities such as clubs, the student council, and various committee meetings. These are some of the sways the new building is con- tributing to better educational opportunities for high school students in the Tcwn of Barnstable. 171 BARNSTABLE TRADE SCHOOL Theodore W. Glover, Director Trade School accommodations in the new high school building have made possible educational improvements along three distinct lines. The two trades taught prior to September 1957—boat building and carpentry—are now conducted in much larger and better equipped shops which provide for a consider- ably wider trade program. Also, more students can be ac- commodated. Three new trades—automobile mechanics, electrical work and plumbing—provide training in fields important to the economy of Cape Cod. They also increase the number of training stations available to our boys of high school age who do not plan to go to college. At the old location the'Trade School could accommodate only 24 pupils. The capacity of the new trade «ring is 95 boys, with shop facili- ties which may be expanded to take care of 144 students. With an entirely separate faculty, which the new quar- ters have made possible, the classroom work can be better adjusted to and correlated with the trade training. The separate faculty also allows the school to be in operation on a week in-week out basis. Every boy is in the shop of his chosen trade all day, every day, for a full -Nveek. Then on the following week, he is in classroom all the week. In this manner there can be a more concentrated approach to both shop training and classroom instruction. SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Robert D. Watt, M.D., School Physician Ethel M. Aiken, R.N., School Nurse The year 1957 was a year of change and improvement in the School Department. With the Cotuit children, the Barnstable and West Barnstable children and all of the high school children transferring from old over-crowded buildings to new modern buildings, a marked improvement 172 has been seen in the mental, emotional and physical health of the students. The new health units in these schools, has enabled the Health Department to operate ton a much more efficient basis. u Polio Clinics were continued for the third year with a total of 2,446 injections being given to pre-school, school children and adults. The people who did not complete the series Hof three shots at the clinics should see their family physician. P Routine physical,examinations, hearing and vision tests were given to the students, and parents were notified of failures and assisted with corrections. A total of 494 students in grades one, two and five re- ceived booster shots for diphtheria.
