TOWN FOREST REPORT The Dunbarton Town Forest comprises three tracts : the Winslow Lot of 200 or more acres of the Stark Farm ; the Huard Lot of 100 or more acres fronting the road one- quarter of a mile soiitli from Kim])all's Pond ; and the Parker Lot of 231 acres, a part of the Stinson Farm about a mile northwest from Gorham Pond. This latter lot has been bad- l\ burned. 200 acres havino- l)t'en covered by fire. ^'()ur committee has expended some money in "weeding" on the Winslow and Huard lots. However there should be more work done along this line. The income which the town receives in the future from these lots depends on the im- ])rovements made now. 'i'he hurricane of September 1938 did little damage to the lots with the exception of the Winslow Lot. From this lot, however, 236,575 feet of timber were salvaged. This com- prised mostly White Pine but also included some Norway Pine and Hemlock. There is still marketable timber on this lot. THE TOWN FOKEST COMMITTEE, C.

We were fortunate last year because you were careful, com- plied so willingly with forest fire regulations and consulted witli our local warden before undertaking any burning on your |)roporty. This co-operative spirit is more essential this year because, as 3'ou well know, conditions in the blowdown sections will be much more critical than last year. Material will be more highly inflammable and fire occurring in this areas will be more difficult to control. For everyone's guidance the following suggestions are made 1. DON'T burn brush or other debris in or near woodlands, or where fire may be communicated to such land, once the snow has left the ground, without first securing written permission from the forest fire warden. Violation of this requirement makes tbe responsible party liable to a. A fine not to exceed $500.00 or imprisonment of not more than one year or both. b. The town for expenses incurred by the warden in attending or extinguishing such fires. c. Damages to abutting owners if fire runs upon abut- ters' property. 60 61 2. DON'T drop or tlirow from any vehicle wliile same is upon a public highway or private way and DON'T drop, throw or otherwise deposit on or near wood- lands any lighted match, cigar, cigarette, live ashes or any other substance liable to cause a fire. Violation of these prohibitions penalizes whoever is found guilty with a fine of not more than $25.00. 3. DON'T fail to promptly notify your local warden of any fires you see. Because some New Hampshire citizens refused or failed to comply with necessary regulations in 1939, they were obliged to pay the costs of fire suppression and in some instances appear in court. A little team work will be most beneficial to all of us and save you and your town much trouble and expense. Good citizenship dictates it. Good judgment demands it. A. L.

STONE, WESTON P. LORD, School Board. : REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD To the Inhabitants of the School District of Dunharion: The School Board herewith submit-^ its annual report for the year 1939. A request was received from the Silver Birch 4-H Club for the privilege of using the North Dunbarton schoolhouse as a clubhouse. The request was granted and this ambitious club has held its meeting there every two weeks. With per- mission, they have recently installed electric lights. The work of the 4-H Club is educational. It encourages boys and girls to live better and more useful lives and helps them to become good community workers. The repair work during the year included painting the interior of the Montalona and Center school rooms. The flagpole at the Center was painted. Mrs. Dorothy Lovell. the music instructor, sums up her work as follows An adequate music course should offer a well balanced program of performing and listening adapted to the varied interests and capacities of the children. In our music department, we have offered a well balanced program of music performance, through the toy orchestra, note study, theory, choral groups, concerts and operettas. This year, through the additional medium of high grade recordings, the pupils have been enabled to listen to the world's best music. Study of the story told by the music aa well as the instruments and their function, together with 64 65 the lives of the composers serves to more fully broaden the musical horizon of the students and make music an active force in child development.

July 14, 1939. 71 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the Citizens of Dunhavlon: The present year has not been marked by any particular changes. Four teachers in four rooms, and Mrs. Lovell as supervisor of music, and Miss Walker, the School Nurse, and the School "Carriers" make up the working force. The enrollment has varied but little. The School Census last September showed 99 under the ages 5 to 16 years— (over 5 years and under 16). A number of these are not in the local schools but have finished here and m-o now in liigli school. ^ Last Jime the following completed the work thronoh grade eight. Alice Armstrong Shirley Prescott *Alice Paris ^'^l^ay Wilson Eendolph Towle Fred Blackman * Cyrus Wheeler Xornian Weatherboe Algert Bernatas *Douglas Warriner Edith Colby *Glenise Wilson Those starred entered high school in September. From Dunbarton 16 have enrolled in Concord Tligli School and 8 at Goffstown. Listed as seniors in Concord are: Eobert Horner, Eobert Pow and Dorothy Towle. At Goffs- town, Rosella Waite. Four of this total group of 24 in high school will graduate, leaving 16 under-class pupils to con- tinue next year. The present enrollment in grade 8 is 13. Some of these may not enter high school. Probably 9 or 10 will, so it Avould appear that the next year's tuition item might be a little more than for the present year. With appreciation to the members of the School Board and teachers for their co-operation. The report is Respectfully submitted, J. BYRON TARNEY, Superintendent of Schools. 71 : REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE Every child should make a regular annual gain, therefore, each pupil is weighed and measured so that we may ascertain their rate of growth according to the scale prepared by the State Board of Health. About 85 pupils were examined the first of the school year and the parents notified of any weakness, deformity or de- fects found. Few parents realize the numerous agencies that play an important part in our school health program. Among the activities that come under this head and which have been most helpful is the cardiac and orthopedic clinics held at the Balch Hospital. The District Nursing Associa- tion has an orthopedic, goiter, and a mental hygiene clinic which handles mental and nervous diseases and endeavors to help the problem child. There is also a trained worker here for those children with speech defects. The tubercular clinics are held every Saturday with Dr. Kerr in charge. We have taken advantage of the Hanover eye clinic this Winter in one of our towns in this Union. Free lessons in lip reading are being given by Mrs. Charles Hammond of Manchester to those children who are hard of hearing. This series of lessons are being financed by the Rotary Club and the Hard of Hearing Club. The following is the record of the annual examination and follow-up work during the school year 1939 73 74 Defective teeth 45 Defects corrected 16 " Defective vision .... 14 " g " Diseased tonsils 12 " 4 " Adenoids 1 " X Impetigo 1 Abscessed ear 1 Measles 5 April 1939 Head injury 1 Fractured arm 1 Fractured leg 1 Back injury 1 Appendectomy 1 Arranged for two to go to an occulist.
