REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN

To the Citizens of the Town of Middleborough:

The report that follows for 1972, contains most all pertinent infor¬ mation in explaining the operations of the town, department by depart¬ ment. This report is submitted to you with the hope in mind that it will bring more information to you about the operations of the town.

Many problems have come before the Board this past year that have either been solved or brought under study for eventual solution.

The future looks bright for the town in so very many respects. However, progress and improvement in our community will be accom¬ plished only with renewed efforts and cooperation among all town departments and a greater interest on the part of interested citizens to serve their community in helpful capacities. Our Board, as well as all other Boards and Commissions of the town, whether elected or ap¬ pointed, is here to serve you.

In regard to service, we trust that the level of the service can be maintained and improved, our problems solved, and plans developed for the growth that our community is going to experience in the months and years to come.

Respectfully,

PAUL T. ANDERSON, Chairman BRUCE G. ATWOOD DOUGLAS MacAULAY GEORGE WHEELER GEORGE W. STETSON, JR.

Middleborough Board of Selectmen

10 TOWN MANAGER

REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER

This year just passed has been one of important progress. A Build¬ ing Code has been adopted by the town. This, alone, will control and maintain quality construction.

For the year 1972, this office issued 336 Building Permits for a total value of $5,367,904.00, an increase over 1971 of $3,942,295.00, and 164 permits. The following is a breakdown of our Building Permit ac¬ tivity for 1972:

Total permits for single-family dwellings 138 Total permits for apartments (comprising 134 units) 9 One new school 1 Permits for additions or alteration of buildings 188 Fees Collected $3,874.00

The prospects for building activity for the year 1973 should break all records.

The town of Middleborough has two very basic community goals which give direction to its policies and its efforts: To develop a community in which life is good in terms of safety, health, economics, security, leisure time, and human relations. To work towards the first goal in such a fashion that the cost is reasonable and as low as possible.

We are all aware that the typical homeowner’s tax bill is a burden¬ some responsibility. While this is our greatest single concern, it fails to distinguish Middleborough from most other communities now, in the past or in the forseeable future.

It is my hope that the citizens, the town officials and our employees will join ranks and pull together during 1973 in building responsible local government.

Norman L. Massey did not seek re-election to the Planning Board, after seventeeen years. He was a very dedicated member and will be missed by all concerned. It has been my pleasure to have worked with him for twelve of those years. Interested and concerned citizens should make themselves known for appointment to Committee and Boards when vacancies arise.

There is need of more expansion space in the Town Hall due to the vast increase in the work load of all departments. The Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, Conservation Commission meet regularly. The Building Department, Plumbing and Gas Inspection and Health Depart¬ ment all need added space for the responsible performance of their duties. The taking over of the auditorium for a Hearing Room and office space is the next logical area, or the construction of a new building,

11 TOWN MANAGER which is not feasible. The School Committee has granted the use of school buildings for town meeting purposes. If there is authority granted, by appropriating money at our town meeting in March, there will be remodeling to accomplish the needed expansion.

Our first concern is to preserve, protect, and more importantly, enhance the community values, resources and amenities Middleborough is so fortunate to have.

In summary, very satisfactory progress has been made in the last few years to improve the quality of life in Middleborough through better municipal services, while at the same time controlling cost within reasonable limits.

My personal thanks to all for the cooperation and understanding.

SECTION VIII

INLAND WETLANDS DISTRICT

A. Purpose of District.

The primary purpose of the Inland Wetlands District is not to pro¬ hibit total development, but to ensure that development on land within the district will not endanger the health, safety, or welfare of the occupants of the land as well as the general public. Secondly, it is in¬ tended to encourage the most appropriate use of the land in Middle- borough. The Inland Wetlands District is considered to be super¬ imposed over the other districts shown on the Zoning Map, as a recog¬ nition of the special conditions which exist in such areas.

B. Basis for District

All lands in Middleborough which have been identified by the Soil Conservation Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture as being characterized by poorly drained and very poorly drained mineral soils, and very poorly drained soils formed in organic deposits and having a water table at or near the surface seven to nine months of the year are included in the district.

In the Inland Wetlands District any use otherwise permitted by this By-law in the District in which the land is located shall be per¬ mitted except that no structure intended for human occupancy or use on a permanent basis having water and sewerage facilities shall be erected unless a permit has been issued by the Board of Appeals after reasonable notice and a public hearing.

C. Permit and Procedure

Should a building permit be denied with respect to a use being located in the Inland Wetlands District as described on the Zoning Map, the applicant may appeal to the Board of Appeals for a special permit.

Any person(s) desiring such a permit shall submit an application to the Board of Appeals which shall comply with the conditions and submittal requirement as listed in the following subsections. (Such con¬ ditions shall include, where applicable, approved by the Board of Select¬ men, the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources, and the Mass¬ achusetts Department of Public Works under Chapter 131, Sections 40 and 40A of the General Laws, Acts relating to the Protection of Inland Wetlands of the Commonwealth.)

D. Required Submittals

1. Submission of a location plan at a scale of 1 in. = 1,000 ft. showing the lot(s) to be developed, lot lines within which the development is proposed, and tie-in to the nearest road inter¬ section.

17 TOWN CLERK

2. A site plan for each lot at a scale of 1 in. = 40 ft. shall be prepared by a registered land surveyor and a registered pro¬ fessional engineer or registered landscape architect. The site plan shall be submitted to the Board of Appeals and shall show at least the following:

a. The location, boundaries, and dimension of each lot in question. b. Two-foot contours of the existing and proposed land surface. c. The location of existing and proposed structures, water¬ courses and drainage easements, means of access, drainage, and sewage disposal facilities. d. The elevation of the basement and first floor. e. The area and location of leaching fields.

E. Development Conditions

For the development of land within the Inland Wetlands District, the following conditions shall apply:

1. The lot(s) shall be served by a public water system.

2. If the lot(s) is to be served by a public sewerage system, the following conditions shall apply: a. A minimum of six test borings to a minimum depth of eight feet shall be taken, three of which shall be within the area of the proposed structure and three within 25 feet of the outside walls of the structure, but not closer than ten feet. A detailed report by a soil scientist or qualified professional engineer indicating soil characteristics and capabilities and seasonal water tables shall accompany the test data.

b. The floor level of areas to be occupied by human beings as living or working space shall be above the seasonal high water table and not subject to periodic flooding.

c. If the basement floor level is below the seasonal high water table and affords the possibility of human occupancy at some future date, although not originally intended, ade¬ quate perimeter drainage shall be installed to withstand the effect of seepage. Furnace and utilities are to be protected from the effects of flooding. The use and design of per¬ imeter drainage shall be subject to the approval of the selectmen or their appointed inspector.

d. Safe and adequate means of vehicular and pedestrian pass¬ age shall be provided in the event of flooding of the lot(s) or adjacent lot(s) caused by either the overspill from water bodies or high runoff.

18 TOWN CLERK

3. If the lot(s) is to be served by an on-lot septic system, the following conditions including those listed previously shall apply:

a. The leaching area designed for use, as well as a reserved area for future expansion or total future use, shall be plotted with dimensions on the site plan.

b. A minimum of two percolation tests per leaching area shall be performed only during the time period November 1 through April 30 or two test borings per leaching area shall be performed as a substitute for the percolation test. A detailed report compiled by a soil scientist or qualified engineer indicating soil characteristics and capabilities and seasonal water tables shall accompany the test data.

c. The leaching areas shall not be constructed in areas where the maximum groundwater elevation is less than four feet below the bottom of the leaching area.

F. Board of Appeals Procedure

1. Within ten days after the receipt of the application, the Board shall transmit a copy thereof to the Massachusetts Departments of Natural Resources and of Public Works, the Board of Health or Health Officer, the Planning Board, the Board of Selectmen, and the Conservation Commission which shall submit in writing, prior to the hearing upon such special permit, their recommen¬ dations and report to the Board on the advisability of granting the special permit, and as to any restrictions which should be imposed upon the tract as a condition of such permit.

2. The Board shall not take final action on an application for a special permit hereunder until it has received a report thereon from the above-listed boards and departments or until 45 days have elapsed after receipt of such plan without the submission of a report. The Board shall give due consideration to all reports and, where its decision differs from the recommendations re¬ ceived, shall state the reasons therefor in writing.

3. It shall be the Board’s responsibility in conjunction with the above-listed boards and departments to show that the proposed development may endanger health and safety, obstruct or divert flood flow, substantially reduce natural floodwater storage cap¬ acity or increase stormwater runoff velocity so that water levels on other land are substantially raised or the danger from flood¬ ing increased, if the permit is not granted for any of these reasons.

4. The Board may, as a condition of approval, require that effect¬ ive notice be given to prospective purchasers, by signs or other¬ wise, of past flooding of said premises, and the steps undertaken by the petitioner of his successor in title to alleviate the effects of the same or take any action relative thereto.

The following report was submitted: “March 13, 1972 Town Meeting — The School Building Committee presents this as a report of progress to the voters of Middleborough.

In view of the fact that the school department began moving into the new Middleborough High School in June 1971, that the students have been housed in the building since September, and that the official open house with the dedication of the Wayne M. Caron Auditorium was held in November, many townspeople have the impression that the School Building Committee has retired. This is not true.

The Committee has continued to meet in order to fulfill its respons¬ ibilities, to approve payment of bills, and to expedite completion of deficiencies.

The original 67 pages of punch list items have been greatly reduced, and the Committee has a special meeting scheduled this week with the general contractor in an attempt to quickly correct remaining problems. A sum in excess of $25,000.00 is being withheld from the general con¬ tractor to cover these deficiencies.

A total of 28 change orders, adding $56,758.65 to the original con¬ tract price have been approved by the Committee, making the new con-

41 TOWN CLERK tract sum, $4,135,126.65. This figure remains within the original budget for the school. The change orders were deemed necessary for safety pur¬ poses, to improve the general quality of the building, or to provide for easier maintenance.

Additional equipment was approved including $8,715.00 for a spec¬ ial science course, which under Title III is reimbursable in the amount of $3,416.00.

Pending unforseen problems, the Committee will hopefully see the completion of the School, and an unexpended balance of some $30,000.00 to be returned to the town.

John W. Scanlon, Claire A. Rockwood, Paul S. Harrison, Winfield J. Gillchrest, Richard J. Picone.

Voted to accept the above report as a report of progress and that the Committee be continued.

Mr. John W. Scanlon informed the meeting that the duties of the School Building Needs Committee has been completed and requested that the Committee be dissolved. Voted unanimously that the School Building Needs Committee be dissolved and thanked for their services.

ARTICLE 13: The following report was read and accepted un¬ animously

“The Committee appointed under the provisions of Article 4 of the March 22, 1966 adjourned session of that year’s Annual Town Meeting, was charged with the responsibility of studying and making detailed recommendations on the recodification of all By-Laws, Traffic Rules and Orders, and General Rules and Regulations of the Town. It was also expected of the Committee that it report its findings and recom¬ mendations to the 1967 Annual Town Meeting. A report was submitted to the 1967 Annual Town Meeting as a “Report of Progress”, with the request that the Committee be continued to a later date. It was ex¬ plained that the requirements expected of the Committee could not be properly met, because of the time limitation of reporting to the 1967 Annual Town Meeting. The Committee report was accepted as a “Report of Progress”, and the Committee was authorized by Town Meeting vote to be continued.

A considerable number of meetings were held by some of the Com¬ mittee Members, and it was their judgement that the requirements of

71 TOWN CLERK studying and making detailed recommendations for recodification of the above-mentioned items was too big a task for them to carry out in a reasonable, wise and conscientious way. Committee Member attempts to receive information and advice from several Town Officials met with little or no success.

As the result of the above-mentioned factors, Committee Member interest and activity dwindled to the point where it has been and is a “Committee in Name Only”. Therefore, I respectfully take it upon my self to present this as a final report of failure and ask that the Com¬ mittee be discharged tonight.

Respectfully submitted,

ALTON M. KRAMER A Member of the Committee

2 October 1972”

Voted unanimously that the By-Law Study Committee appointed under Article 4 of the Annual Town Meeting held March 22, 1966, be discharged and thanked for their past services.

Furthermore, that by majority vote of the committee all vacancies that may occur from time to time be filled.

ARTICLE 14: Voted to rescind Town By-Law, Article Number 14, which by-law was adopted by a vote under Article 16 of the warrant for the Town Meeting of February 8, 1937, and provides that the Town Treasurer and Collector of Taxes shall collect under the title of Town Treasurer and Collector all accounts due the Town, excepting interest on the investments of trust funds. Finance Committee recommends favorable action.

ARTICLE 15: Voted to raise and appropriate the sum of Two Thousand Four Hundred Ninety One ($2,491.00) Dollars by transfer from available funds in the East Main Street Well Fire Loss Account for the purpose of paying for the labor and materials expended in con¬ nection with the repairs to the East Main Street Pumping Station.

~~REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS~~

~~To the Citizens of Middleborough:~~

This year 1972 saw a new Assessor, Mr. Robert Keith, elected to the Board. Mr. Keith proved himself a valuable asset to the Board with his background in conservation and building construction. The year 1972 saw the Board’s article for a complete revaluation of all real estate defeated at the Annual Town Meeting. On the positive side, the Board was pleased and proud when our Assistant Assessor, Richard Weaver became the thirtieth Certified Massachusetts Assessor in the Common¬ wealth of Massachusetts. The Town of Middleborough is indeed for¬ tunate to have a C.M.A. on the Board and he will be a valuable asset to the Town.

I would like to say “Thank You” on behalf of the Town to Dorothy Michael and Leah Caperello, our two well-qualified office personnel. Mrs. Michael worked many hours - including Saturdays, for which there was no additional compensation - to get tax bills out after the delay in receiving the “Cherry Sheet” from the Commonwealth.

Every year the Board is faced with a greater work load than the previous year. The excise tax bills which are sent out by the Common¬ wealth, are more often than not, full of errors - either duplicate bills or errors in value - which makes additional work in granting abatements. The large number of Appellate Tax Board cases grows larger every year. The Board must appear in court to defend values placed by them or by previous Boards. The ever-increasing new building and the never-ending sub-divisions means that the Board has to view more parcels. We set a record high this year in building permits. We have over 2,000 acres in Forest Management Land — the highest in Plymouth County.

~~The Board this year is presenting a re-organization of its staff in order to meet the demands placed on it so we can better prepare to represent our Town in court and to serve you, the taxpayer.~~

~~Signed,~~

~~ALLEN D. DEMERS~~

~~Services and Utilities REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Middleborough, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

~~The following is the annual report of the Department of Public Works for the year ending December 31, 1972.~~

Highway Division: Drainage installed on Cambridge Street from outlet beyond Good- hue Lumber yard to Clara Street, Courtland Street from intersection of Oak Street to Station Street, and a portion of Station Street. Drainage also put in Oak Street from Courtland Street to Southwick Street, Acorn Street from Wareham Street to Susan Lane and a culvert with concrete headers and guard rail on Plympton Street,

Under this year’s Chapter 90 Maintenance program the following streets were surface treated: Thompson Street from Fuller Street to River Street, Plympton Street from East Main to Plymouth Street and from East Main to Thompson Street. Also Plymouth Street from Carmel Street to the Carver town line, Wareham Street from Cherry to Route 28, Smith Street, Everett Street, Carmel Street and sections on Vernon Street and Spruce Street. Hone job put on Thompson Street from River Street to Halifax town line. Type I bituminous concrete pavement placed on Centre Street from Lovell Street to Roosevelt Avenue.

Funds from Road Oil account used to seal the following streets: Benson Street, Rocky Gutter, Purchase Street, Carver Street, Fosdick Road, Cherry Street, Plymouth Street from Everett to Bedford Street. 1900’ of Rocky Meadow Street and 1300’ of Tispaquin Street received a gravel penetration and seal.

~~Mix in place surface placed on Vernon Street from Taunton town line 1500’ westerly and on Auburn Street from River Street to Bridge- water town line.~~

Type I bituminous concrete surface placed on Courtland Street, Alden Street, Howland Court and sections of Oak, Station, Rice and Fair- view Streets. Acorn Street was excavated and drainage put in, graveled, fine graded, penetrated and base course of Type I mix put down.

~~Asphalt curbing placed on Centre Street from Lovell Street to Roosevelt Avenue ana a section of Pearl Street from the corner of~~

~~155 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

~~Peirce to Reland Street. Sidewalk work done on Grove Street, Wood Street, Pearl Street and Oak Street.~~

Plymouth County Commissioners have made the layout for Wood Street, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Public Works has completed a survey and plans are now being developed for construction of this road, as well as work on Wareham Street. Painting traffic lines and cross-walks, roadside mowing, cleaning catch basins, cutting back road edges, sweeping, replacing guard posts, replacing signs along with other routine maintenance work.

~~Water and Sewer Division:~~

In May of 1972 the Water Division installed an 8” water main into the new Miller Street Well Site. This well, after many problems in develop¬ ment, has been made available, and at present, the building is under construction to house the pumps and accessories needed to provide adequate control and protection. Upon completion of the building, work should be begun on the pumping equipment and final ties made to main already installed. The well will be a welcome part of the water system hopefully sometime in 1973. Another well site, on the same site as the East Main Street well, designated to be East Main #2, was discovered and as a result of extensive pumping tests seems to be as good a well as the present East Main Street well. We would recommend development, as soon as possible, due to the increased building boom in the town. An¬ other factor which should be considered is the installation of a larger main from the South Middleborough section of town to the water towers at Barden Hill, so as to realize full production of the South Middle- borough well systems and to provide an alternate route should some¬ thing happen to the only feed line connecting them.

Working in among its normal duties, the maintenance crew installed approximately 2400’ of 8” main between Spruce Street, along Wareham Street and Locust Street, to provide water to that section which never had water before. This included two tapping sleeves, three hydrant assemblies and a main line gate along with necessary fittings. This should help out the people with well problems in the area.

A sub-division of 25 homes was completed by Vazza Properties known as Pine Tree Drive, adding 892’ of 8” main to the water system as well as two tapping sleeves and one hydrant assembly. This sub¬ division also has town sewer tied into the Acorn Street extension. The sewer was installed last year. 386’ of 8” main was extended along Pre¬ cinct Street from Thompson Street also with a hydrant added to that street. About 500’ of 6” main was added to complete the apartment com¬ plex line with two hydrants off West Grove Street begun several years ago. This is known as Derry Village.

The five million gallon tank was emptied, painted and refilled this year. A new type of coating was applied to the outside that is supposed to protect itself. It will be interesting to watch the results. I hope it will be successful. Three million gallons was put back into the distribution system while emptying the tank.

~~156 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

A major pluggage in the sewer lines was found in the Ocean Spray pumping station force main—this was freed and the siphons at the river were rodded and cleaned. A line which seems to be a major problem is the mound after the siphon running to Mayflower Avenue. I believe that at least twice a year this line is going to have to be cleaned pneu¬ matically as the sewer-rodder doesn’t seem to be able to handle the sludge of this section of sewer. Also, vandalism has caused many major blockages in the interceptor line and we believe a road or access path should be made to help with cleaning and maintenance. The town should think about getting a pneumatic cleaning machine to supplement the sewer-rodder, also care should be taken in selecting future tie-ins to the sewer system.

The routine maintenance, installation of new services, renewal of old services, replacement of curb stops, repair of service leaks and main breaks (one major one at Everett Street and another at Bedford Street were repaired) was accomplished through the normal year. There is a lack of time for making major repairs to the distribution water system, due to all the new construction work. More up-dating and improving of the distributor system, such as added insertion gates and renewal of major services 4” and over should be done, as many gates and lines are being found unworkable in their present state.

~~Tree Division:~~

During the past year, approximately forty-five Elm trees with Dutch Elm disease, along with a few diseased Maple trees, were taken down and the stumps removed and carried away. Broken tree tops, limbs and dead branches were removed from trees that had been damaged by heavy winds and storms. Utility wires were cleared of hanging branches under the supervision of the Middleborough Light Company and the New England Telephone Company.

~~The Peirce Trustees again made available $2,000.00 for the planting of new trees in various sections of town.~~

During the months of May, June and July, trees along the highway were sprayed for Elm beetles. All sections of town sprayed for gypsy moths and tent caterpillars, which seem to be on the increase. Birch trees along highways were sprayed for leaf miners. Spraying for poison ivy was done as requested, and if needed. Plymouth County Mosquito Control sprayed for mosquitoes.

Sanitation Division: (Rubbish pick-up) The volume of solid wastes being picked up, constantly increases. There are many new homes, requiring many more stops per day for each truck, which means extra trips to the landfill site and lengthens the nor¬ mal work day. A new truck and additional man-power is inevitable. Frank Baker retired this December after a number of years of good reliable service as rubbish truck driver.

origin, retired from service this year and will be sorely missed, as will Don Souza, the second operator, who has left for other work. The lease of a new bulldozer and the repairs to the Nelson loader, which now has a diesel engine installed, should improve if not do away with much break¬ down time. It is pleasing to note that with the strict regulations imposed on the towns, we have received only a few minor infraction notices.

~~The addition to the garage has been started and the original part has a new roof. When completed, more equipment will be able to stay at the landfill site rather than commute from the D.P.W. garage.~~

At the suggestion of the League of Women Voters, rubbish barrels and baskets were placed around town at various locations. They must be serving their purpose as they need daily attention. Oliver Mill Park has become increasingly popular and also needs daily rubbish disposal and frequent lawn mowings. Annual rubbish clean-up weeks are be¬ coming increasingly popular with the residents if the increased volume of rubbish picked up this year indicates approval.

At the end of this first full year of operation as a Department of Public Works, I would like to thank all members of the various depart¬ ments for their cooperation in making the transition possible.

~~REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Middleborough, Mass.~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

~~The following report of the Board of Health contains a summary of environmental and personal health programs for the year 1972.~~

The environmental health programs offered by this Department are intended to promote and maintain high sanitation standards in our community. The considerable growth, long predicted and now upon us, unless reasonably directed and controlled will result in the degradation of the quality of life already evident in some other communities. The Health Officer is called upon to make a considerable number of judg¬ ments weighing the conflicting private rights of individuals against the interests of the community. The guidelines set down in the Sanitary Code are relied upon as the basis for such judgments.

A number of surveys were conducted of multiple housing and other rental units to determine compliance with minimum standards for human habitation. Violations were brought to the attention of owners resulting in improved living conditions in several instances. Infiltration of ground water resulted in the temporary abandonment of a number of basement dwelling units and points out the wisdom of the Board of Health regulation providing that the lowest occupied floor of any new dwelling shall be 18 inches above the crown of the road and 12 inches above the surrounding area.

~~In several instances, the Board of Health voted an order to prevent the sale and occupancy of new dwellings until applicable regulations were complied with.~~

During the summer months, inspections were conducted of the sev¬ eral recreational camps for children located in the Tispaquin and Woods Pond areas. Over the past four years, the camp inspection program has resulted in considerably improved sanitary conditions. The Public Health Nurse assisted with the survey evaluating required medical records of the staff and campers, immunization records and evidence by staff members of a negative skin test or x-ray for tuberculosis. Fifty- six (56) personnel who did not have the evidence of a negative test were Mantoux (skin) tested by Mrs. Johnson. Further evaluation was determined to be necessary in one instance.

Nursing and Rest Homes were surveyed relative to their license renewals. The survey placed particular attention on the condition of the structure, routine maintenance, source of water, compliance with food service, sewage and rubbish disposal regulations. Nursing facilities are

~~165 SERVICES AND UTILITIES also required to be inspected under Fire Department Regulations with both departments cooperating closely. A number of hazards were cor¬ rected as a result of this program.~~

A survey of problems faced by personnel employed by the municipal rubbish collection service disclosed a number of problem areas either of a sanitary nature or not conductive to the efficient operation of the municipal collection service. Considerably improved standards were ob¬ tained.

The Well Regulations voted by the Board of Health during 1971 have provided an effective program to insure a safe onsite source of water sufficient to meet the ordinary requirements of the many new residents of this community who live outside the limits of the municipal water distribution system. A permit for the installation of a well is not granted until tne field survey of the proposed building site is completed and plans for the sewage disposal system is approved. During the survey, the safe area, for the well to be located, is determined. A copy of the ap¬ proved plan is available to the well installer. Both a bacterial and chem¬ ical analysis of the well water is required before a Building Permit may be issued. Four analysis reports were submitted when it was later deter¬ mined that, in fact, the wells had not been installed. In other instances, analysis reports were determined to be false or otherwise improper. As a result, analysis reports are no longer accepted from the laboratories involved. In three instances, wells failed to meet the required bac¬ teriological and chemical standards and Building Permits were not issued.

Sanitary surveys relative to a dangerous disease, hepatitis, disclosed in one instance that shellfish were imported to the State and offered for sale without the required tags indicating an approved source. The matter was referred to the Division of Food & Drug, M.D.P.H., and followed up by the State Dept, of Public Health in the state where the shellfish bed was located. In addition to surveys conducted after dis¬ closure of a dangerous disease, routine inspections were conducted to determine compliance with applicable Food & Drug Regulations in markets. After routine sampling of shellfish disclosed bacterial counts grossly in excess of the required standards particular emphasis was directed towards this program until we were assured that the public was being offered a sate product.

Food Service Establishments, including restaurants, temporary and mobile food services, were inspected to determine compliance with the requirements of the State Sanitary Code with particular emphasis placed on continuing upgrading of each establishment. A careful evaluation was made in each instance to determine if the dishwashing procedures fol¬ lowed were adequate to properly sanitize utensils. Also evaluated was food protection, including refrigeration, maintenance of toilet facilities, vermin control measures, storage and disposal of garbage and rubbish, housekeeping and maintenance of the premises.

~~A survey was conducted of a new copper, nickel, chromium plating plant prior to the start of operations. As a result of the survey, the firm was directed to install pollution control equipment.~~

~~166 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

A number of air pollution violations were brought to the attention of the District Air Pollution Control Office located in the Lakeville Hos¬ pital. In each instance, effective action was initiated by the Department with the businesses concerned placed on an implementation schedule in accordance with the provisions of the regulation.

Health Regulations voted by the Board of Health during 1972 in¬ clude minimum leaching area requirements for subsurface sewage disposal systems and a supplement to Article XI of the Sanitary Code providing for certain technical data to be submitted by the owner or developer of multiple lots prior to review, by the Board of Health, of preliminary and definitive plans for a sub-division. The intent of the Board was to insure that sub-division development in the community is located in areas suitable for sewage effluent disposal obviously neces¬ sary if future health hazards are to be prevented in the community.

~~During 1972, soil examinations conducted on 228 individual lots were witnessed by the Health Officer. Of this number, 182 sites were approved and 46 determined to be unsuitable.~~

Prior to the adoption of Article XI of the State Sanitary Code in 1960, the design of septic systems was guided by local regulations in some towns with little or no control in others. Generally, the system installed was a cesspool with little regard given to the soil absorption capacity.

~~Today we are faced with a number of existing homes with failing systems located in areas that should never have been built upon and that would not pass a properly conducted percolation test.~~

The intent of the Department of Public Health when they drafted Article XI, Minimum Standards for the Disposal of Sewage in Un¬ sewered Areas, was to provide criteria, based on sound engineering data, that if followed during the site survey, planning and installation of the disposal system would provide a number of years of satisfactory service to the homeowner.

The initial part of the planning stage consists of a soil examination conducted by a Registered Professional Engineer, representing the in¬ terests of his client and a representative of the Board of Health, repre¬ senting both the interests of the community and the future homeowner.

The topographic features of Plymouth County are the direct result of a series of glacial invasions from the north, the most recent of which reached its line of furthest advance along Long Island and to the east with glacial drift forming Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island. After many thousands of years, for reasons not fully understood, a warming trend caused the ice margin to recede northward.

The spreading of the ice sheets brought deposits of sand, gravel, clay and boulders torn from the bedrock of New England. The soil in Middleborough is composed of thick deposits of glacial drift with fea-

167 SERVICES AND UTILITIES tures of the landscape associated with, and resulting from, both the advance and later wasting of the ice sheet, formerly several hundred feet thick, which with the warming trend rapidly lost thickness sep¬ arating into numerous individual ice masses.

In planning a septic tank sewage disposal system, it is necessary to determine the soil absorption capacity or rate that the soil in the proposed sewage disposal area will accept the effluent discharged from a septic tank.

The rate will depend on the type of soil which may consist of gravel, sand, silt or clay either unassorted called glacial till or sorted by the melt waters of the glacier in stratified layers with varying degrees of limitation for sewage disposal purposes. The soil may range from rela¬ tively impervious compacted clayey silt, sand and gravelly mixtures presenting severe limitations to clean sand and gravel with little or no limitation. Also to be contended with are the silty clay sediments laid down in long extinct glacial lakes associated with the retreating glacier.

Immunization Clinics A total of 7,497 immunization shots have been administered since the program was initiated in 1969. The considerable number of school children immunized during 1969 - 1970, at clinics conducted by the Board of Health in the school system, reflects the failure to hold clinics during prior years when Middleborough was without a Public Health Nurse with resultant large numbers of children attending school in violation of General Laws providing that each child shall receive five immuniza¬ tions before entering school. As a result of the program, only a relatively small number of children, mostly transfers to the school system, are now required to be immunized by the School Health Dept, after entering school. We continually re-evaluate immunization requirements for the Community and attempt to initiate programs that produce maximum results. During the past year, we have concentrated on a program to provide immunization for the large number of pre-school children not immunized on a private basis. The success of the program is reflected in the total of 803 immunizations administered to pre-school children during 1972.

435 dogs received immunization against rabies at a clinic conducted by the Board of Health and Pocksha Canine Club in the K of C Hall. The clinic was under the direction of Dr. David Johnson, South Middle- borough Veterinarian.

A five day plan to stop smoking was held at the St. Luke’s Hospital Auditorium, April 16th through April 20th, 1972. In addition to the Board of Health, the sponsoring agencies included St. Luke’s Hospital, Plymouth County Health Association, Heart Association and the New England Memorial Hospital.

~~Public Health Nursing Program We have an effective Tuberculosis Control Program with a Mantoux testing clinic (skin test for tuberculosis) conducted monthly by Connie~~

~~168 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

~~Johnson, Public Health Nurse, in the Health Dept. Office.~~

A chest X-Ray Clinic was conducted monthly at St. Luke’s Hospital under the direction of Dr. Lough of the Plymouth County Hospital. Clinic coordination and services are under the administration of the Public Health Nurse. New guidelines clarifying eligibility to attend the clinic, developed by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Jean Rowell, Supervising Nurse for the State Dept, of Public Health, were approved by the Dept, of Public Health.

~~Through cooperation with the Paul Dever State School Community Nurse and Physical Therapy Consultant, placement was made for two retarded Middleborough children in the Clinical Nursery Program.~~

It is now the established policy of the State Administration to empty all institutions, including hospitals, nursing homes, etc., to the maximum extent possible and to provide the needed services in the community.

Middleborough residents are fortunate to have the availability of the services of a Public Health Nurse with Mrs. Johnson’s capabilities to coordinate the efforts of the various health agencies and to provide the personal health services of critical importance to many of our citizens.

The Board of Health voted to establish an advisory committee for the Public Health Nurse. Members of the committee include Bernard Beuthner, M.D., Stuart A. Silliker, M.D., Ronald Craig, Pharmacist, Lorna Dill, R.N., Retired Public Health Nurse and Dorothy Goodale, R.N., Inservice Education, Lakeville Hospital.

The Health Officer attended most Planning Board and Conservation Commission meetings and was impressed by the considerable accom¬ plishments of said committees under the able guidance of Norman Mas¬ sey, Chairman, Planning Board and Perry E. Little, Jr., Chairman. Conservation Commission. It is fundamental that all Departments ana the various committees should work together.

~~Report of Inspector of Animals~~

As Animal Inspector of the Town of Middleborough, I have quaran¬ tined as provided in Chapter 129 of the General Laws, section 21, 22 and 24, seventy-two animals. After an animal has been quarantined, written notice is given to the Director of Animal Health. After a ten day period, if the animal is found in good health, and the person has not contacted any disease, a notice of release of quarantine is then sent to the Director of Animal Health.

The Animal Inspector also inspects all dairy cattle brought in from out of state. The ear tag numbers are checked with those which are on the Certificate of Health and are then sent to the Director of Animal Health. One hundred and sixty-two dairy cows were checked in 1972.

In the fall of 1972 a Raynham swine owner lost his herd because of cholera. All owners of swine in Massachusetts will receive inspections by State and Federal Inspectors, in an effort to eradicate this disease.

~~A summary of the 1972 animal census is as follows: Number of dairy cows over two years 964 Number of dairy heifers one to two years 109~~

~~PLYMOUTH COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT~~

~~Board of Selectmen Town Hall Middleborough, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

The Plymouth County Mosquito Control was established under Sec¬ tion V-A, Chapter 252 of the General Laws enacted July 15, 1957. Chap¬ ters 112 and 315, Acts of 1931, gives authority to the State Reclamation Board for direction and supervision of mosquito control works. All control projects receive direction from the executive office of Environ¬ mental Affairs. This project’s aim was to stop encephalitis as directed by the Communicable Diseases, Division of State Department of Public Health. From 1955 to 1957 there was a total of 55 victims, including 34 fatalities. Since 1957 there have been only 13 confirmed cases of enceph¬ alitis, these in the years of 1970 and 1971. Additionally, the project was to improve conditions of inadequatae drainage caused by clogged and polluted waterways.

Whereas mosquitoes do not respect town boundaries, and rivers and streams do not terminate on town lines, the advantages of an organ¬ ized mosquito control project are many. The following is a report of the total work accomplished in the 18 towns and one city covered by this project: aerial spray 5,044 acres, ground spray 18,221 gallons, catch basins 33,645, hand clearing of streams 124,004 feet, new ditches and maintenance (power equipment) 30,825 feet, total man hours, 10,730.

~~The assistance and cooperation of the various town departments continues to be a valuable aid.~~

~~REPORT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY~~

~~To the President and the Board of Library Trustees Middleborough Public Library~~

The library service has continued in its usual pattern throughout 1972. Service is greatly augmented by our Sub-regional Center at Taun¬ ton Public Library and the Regional Center at Boston Public Library. We have exceptional results from requests submitted to Taunton and are very pleased and satisfied with the service at that level.

Approximately, once a month, the head librarians from libraries in the Taunton Sub-region, have met at Taunton Public Library. These meetings were, originally, to discuss regional service. However, they seem to have broadened to cover library work and problems in general. Those attending have agreed they are most beneficial and hope that they will continue.

~~We, again, must thank Miss Betty Woodward of the Taunton staff for carrying inter-library loan books back and forth for us.~~

~~During the month of July, we had a portion of the library back-yard paved for staff parking. The personnel is most grateful for this as it provides a place off the street for their cars.~~

We are most pleased to have acquired, this past year, large alum¬ inum doors, that are awaiting installation, at the entrance to the main lobby. This area is hard to heat and has often been excessively cold. The new doors will hold the cold in the entrance area, making the lobby more comfortable and less expensive to heat.

~~Cabinets, for book storage, were built in the upper hallway in 1971. In 1972, we had the cabinets painted to match the woodwork and, so, completed this project.~~

~~We had some rain damage to interior walls, due to faulty gutters. These have been repaired.~~

~~The library has continued its usual services to students of all ages and to patrons who wish recreational reading.~~

We observed book week in the way that we have done for the past ten years. We had on display a large selection of books, both upstairs, in the children’s room and in the downstairs lobby. People look forward to this each year and seem to enjoy browsing amongst the new books. The books are on display for a week and then go into circulation.

~~The Board of Trustees wish to extend their thanks to the donors of books, magazines, records and other library materials donated to us during 1972.~~

~~177 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

~~Once again, our thanks go to Miss Mildred Ashley, who gives so generously of her time as a volunteer in our cataloging department.~~

We are most grateful to the North Middleborough Mother’s Club for sending members to help man the library at Pratt Free School. Also to Mrs. Theodore Travaglini and Miss Bonnie Reams at the South Mid¬ dleborough Library.

Mr. Ernest Thomas, who has been president of the Library Trustees for many years, submitted his resignation as president. It was accepted with regret. The Trustees and I wish to thank him for his many years of faithful service in that office. We are most happy to say that he is continuing to serve as a Trustee. His many years of experience make him a most valued member.

~~Mr. Joseph Riley, also a long-time member of the Board, has suc¬ ceeded Mr. Thomas as President.~~

~~That would seem to wrap up library events for 1972. As usual, we look forward to a busy and rewarding New Year.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT — 1972~~

The 1972 recreation year in Middleborough was hampered because of two reasons: the fire at the field house and the weather. The fire at the field house caused inconvenience administratively, but the Park Board determined that our programmed recreation activities would be carried on as usual. And so it was — all scheduled activities for the year were carried out. The Park Board decided that it would recommend building a new field house rather than repair the old. Architects Alger and Gunn were employed to draw up preliminary plans, which were approved by the Selectmen and the special town meeting in October and $87,000 appropriated for the project. With grants from the Peirce Trustees and insurance money amounting to $57,000, actual cost

~~179 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

to the town will be $30,000. Plans are to build in the spring of 1973. The field house was razed by the cooperative efforts of the National Guard stationed in Middleborough and the town’s Department of Public Works. Savings to the town is approximately a thousand dollars. Weather experts record 1972 as the rainiest year on record. Most affected activities were the swimming pool, where we experienced our lowest attendance in years, and the skating rink. Kimball B. Harrison resigned from the Park Board after twenty years of service and was replaced by John W. Scanlon. Mr. Scanlon’s vast experience as an athlete and Chairman of the School Building Com¬ mittee qualifies him as a valued member of the Park Board. The Department cooperated with the Neighborhood Youth Corp and was assigned twenty youths, both boys and girls, for nine weeks employment as activities supervisors, maintenance workers, and field house attendants. Our grounds, service, and supervision were more efficiently operated because of their presence. Vandals struck twice our temporary administrative offices in the concession booth on Battis Field. The first time they made off with our safe and an estimated three hundred dollars in money. In the area of facility improvements the softball diamond was stone- dusted, diving boards permanently repaired, backstops painted by the NYC workers, and a fence installed to close in the skating rink house because of vandalism there. Our program of activities this year has been basically the same. We have continued the regular swimming lessons and recreational swimming, Kiddie Korners, farm and twi-league baseball for boys of all ages, men’s slow and fast pitch softball leagues, tennis and archery instruction, special events, and skating in the winter. This year we ex¬ panded into the adult women’s category and offered tennis and softball evenings. The tennis program was successful, but softball failed. We will attempt more in this area in 1973. Again it should be mentioned that we have a parking problem. The Park Board recommends the development of the reclaimed area near the Nemasket River as a combination parking and recreational-skating area with an access road. Our recreational program and facilities continue to be one of the finest in the area, thanks to the interest and support of the people of Middleborough, its government officials, the Park Board, and the Peirce Trustees, who, besides their financial help in the rebuilding of the field house this year and other facility improvements for the play¬ grounds, annually grant the Park Department $2,700 in salary help and payment of pool paint.

~~REPORT OF THE BRISTOL-PLYMOUTH REGIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL DISTRICT~~

~~I herewith submit my fifth annual report to the citizens of the Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School District.~~

~~One year ago our building was less than seventy-five percent com¬ pleted. Today, we are an ongoing school, serving over eleven hundred students in our day and evening programs.~~

Our committee held twenty four regular and eight special meetings during the year. The officers elected at our annual meeting were: Don¬ ald K. Atkins, Chairman, Middleborough; William R. Powers, Vice Chairman, Raynham; L. Allen Freeman, Treasurer; and Caroline Tripp, Clerk.

~~At the beginning of the year much time was spent in accepting and rejecting bids. The Advisory Board members were most helpful in this area.~~

Many candidates were interviewed for teaching positions, curric¬ ulum coordinator, business manager, administrative aid, plant engineer, cafeteria supervisor, clerical help and custodial personnel. By careful selection, we have obtained an excellent staff.

~~Mr. Kenneth Custy, Assistant Superintendent-Director has played an important role in the establishment of Bristol-Plymouth. He has had some valuable experiences in technical education.~~

Mr. Paul Couture, Guidance Director for the school, received appli¬ cations from over six hundred and fifty boys and girls wishing to enroll in Bristol-Plymouth. In keeping with our admission policy, and after careful evaluation and recommendations from each sending school, four hundred twenty eight students were selected.

Over fifteen hundred eighth grade students in the region have toured our school, and they have also been given the differential apti¬ tude test. Much work has been done by the guidance department not only in the undergraduate level but also in the post-graduate program. Seventy five students are participating in the Licensed Practical Nurs¬ ing, Medical Assistant, and Data Processing programs.

Over six hundred students are enrolled in our evening programs, sixty five in Bristol Community College degree work, and thirty-five studying for their high school equivalency certificates. Bristol-Plymouth is the Taunton area evening school for this Junior College.

~~The Taunton River Power Squadron hold evening sessions on boat¬ ing for over fifty students.~~

~~Evening Practical Arts, trade extension, and trade preparatory account for over five hundred students. Thus, eleven hundred students are being served by our school.~~

~~181 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

We are extremely grateful to the Massachusetts Department of Education and Division of Occupational Training for giving us a grant of thirty thousand dollars to hire our teachers for the summer. There¬ fore, we were well prepared for our school opening on September 7, 1972. Dr. David Pottier, our school physician, with the aid of our school nurse, Mrs. Jane Whittemore, have given physical examinations to all undergraduates. The two radio programs that are aired over W.R.L.M. and W.P.E.P. continue to be very popular. We are indebted to Powers Pontiac and the Independent Garage Owners Association for sponsoring these programs. The Taunton Daily Gazette, Brockton Enterprise, New Bedford Standard Times, and the Middleboro Gazette continue to give excellent coverage regarding our school.

~~Two new courses are being considered; Painting and Decorating, and Distributive Education. Much research has been done regarding these courses to be given on the undergraduate level.~~

~~The R & F Bus Company was awarded the bus contract and they are carrying out their duties in an efficient manner.~~

~~The Massachusetts Division of Surplus Property continues to be most helpful to us. During the year we have obtained a Fork-lift truck, an International tractor, and a half-ton Dodge pick up truck.~~

Our opening on September 7th was a memorable day in the history of Bristol-Plymouth. Four hundred twenty eight boys and girls made up our student body. The many years of planning, building, and equipping, paid their deserved dividends. On that day Massachusetts added another Technical school to its growing list.

To our architects, Drummey Rosane and Anderson; our contractors, J. L. Marshall Company, our dedicated and enthusiastic staff, our parents and students, our school superintendents and guidance per¬ sonnel in the region, we extend our thanks and appreciation.

Our office at 940 County Street, Taunton is open daily. Prospective students and their parents are welcome to discuss courses and enroll* ment procedures. Respectfuly submitted, CHARLES F. DAY Superintendent-Director

~~DEPARTMENT~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Middleborough, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

~~The following is the annual report of the Gas & Electric Department for the year ending December 31, 1972.~~

~~GAS DIVISION — 1972~~

A: 8,300 feet of 4” welded steel (X-Tru Coat) pipe was installed along Wood St. from the intersection of Acorn St. to Chestnut St. The intermediate pressure gas main is now providing natural gas for central heating, cooking and domestic hot water heating in over 50 new and existing homes.

B: 1,675 feet of 2” welded steel pipe (X-Tru Coat) was installed along Rainbow Circle and 815 feet of 2” welded steel pipe (X-Tru Coat) was installed along Pine Tree Drive. Both of these streets are in two new residential developments consisting of 58 new homes in the Wood and Acorn Street area. All of the houses will use gas for central heating, cooking and domestic hot water heating.

~~C: 650 feet of 2” welded steel pipe (X-Tru Coat) was installed along Chestnut St. to serve a number of newly constructed homes.~~

D: 99 new gas services were installed during the year. This is more than triple the 1971 total of 29, and is the largest number of new gas services installed in one year in the history of the Department.

E: Consistent with Gas Industry policy of preventive maintenance, 21 gas services were partially replaced and 37 inactive gas services were de pressurized and severed at the main. These programs are in line with federal regulations for gas system safety and are an effective means of minimizing gas leakage and maintaining a high degree of safety and reliability.

F: A Heath Detecto Pack II was purchased at a cost of $3,100.00 This ultrasensitive piece of equipment, operating on the principle of flame ionization, has proved to be exceptionally accurate in detecting “hard to find” gas leaks and is a valuable tool in our safety program.

~~184 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

Other Data Are: New High Pressure Gas Services Installed 92 New Low Pressure Gas Services Installed 7 Old Gas Services dug up and completely replaced 1 Old Gas Services partly replaced (across road or through cellar wall) 21 Manifolds (Piping at gas meters) completely replaced 12 Gas meters inspected and set to zero index 300 *Gas Meters tested and sealed by Mass. D.P.U. 386 Customers’ service calls made 1,488 Gas main joints dug up and clamped 12 New Gas Mains laid 2.18 miles * Because of a State Law, about 15% of the gas meters in service must be removed from the buildings and tested each year.

ELECTRIC DIVISION A: Street Lighting was improved in the Town by installing the new type “Lucalox” (Golden Glow) lights in the Town Hall Parking Lot, along Nickerson Ave., and at selected locations. A program was begun to install new type 175-watt mercury lights at street corners. These lights are brighter and will not be out as often as the older type incandescent lamps.

~~185 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

~~B: Two long, old-fashioned, series-type street light circuits were eliminated along numerous streets in the West Side and in-town areas. They were replaced with modern, multiple-type fixtures.~~

C: The Gas & Electric Dept, accomplished the replacement of many Fire-alarm wires along So. Main St. and in the Underground System. This, together with similar work on electric wires permitted the elimination of poles on the south side of So. Main St. and near the Town Hall area.

D: Electric lines were relocated at the intersection of Bedford St. and Rhode Island Rd. in connection with Highway reconstruction by the State which paid the Gas & Electric Dept, for all electrical work.

E: A new heavy-duty electric line (3 phase) of 336.4 MCM al¬ uminum conductors was built along Bridge St. from the Nemasket River to Main St., Lakeville. This will permit supplying Brockton Edison Power into Lakeville.

~~F: A bank of three (100-KVA each) transformers was energized at the corner of Main and Center Sts. to feed our newly converted Under¬ ground system of wires at 120/208 volts.~~

G: Two Heavy 4/0 copper, 3-phase circuits of wire for 15 kilovolts were installed underground along Wareham St. from Benton St. to Main St. and then along So. Main St. to just past Webster St. This eliminated many open wires on poles along Webster and Benton Sts.

~~H: The Vazza subdivisions of 58 homes was wired up with pole lines off Acorn and Wood Streets.~~

~~I: About 5,000 feet of 336.4 MCM spacer cable was installed in the Highland Park Subdivision in Lakeville to serve 85 future homes and a golf course. The cable is insulated for 15,000 volts.~~

J: The 22,000 volt “Tremont” transmission line (formerly sup¬ plying Middleboro with New Bedford power) was reconditioned and energized with 14,000 volts of Brockton Edison Power from the Electric Station to Thomas St. Our first customer on this line was Bruffee’s new Saw Mill near Wood St.

K: The East Middleborough area of the Town was energized with Brockton Edison power by building about 2 miles of 556.2 MCM of aluminum spacer cable along E. Main St. and Plympton St. from the Nemasket River to Thompson St. This job required the building of a pole-type 1,500 KVA SRT substation on Plympton St. near the inter¬ section of Routes 105 and the expressway Route #44. This adapts 14,000 volt Brockton Edison power to existing 4,160 volt lines.

~~L: New pole lines, (because of much building activity) were also installed in the East Middleboro area as follows, —~~

CONCLUSION Gas Business: As stated in last year’s report, the major concern in the Gas Division is the question of pipeline gas supply. During 1972, this situation con¬ tinued to worsen. By late December 1972, our pipeline supplier was cur¬ tailing the town up to 20% of our firm contractual daily quantities. While the legal questions regarding this abrogation of a firm contract have not yet been resolved, we are forced to live with the problems associated with serving more and more consumers with less and less pipeline gas.

Fortunately the town is well protected in its production plants (Liquid Natural Gas and Propane-Air), which have supplied the gas needed to continue serving our customers without curtailment. In addition, during 1972, additional steps were taken to assure the town of continued supplies of gas for future needs as follows,—

1. A letter of intent was signed with New England LNG Co., in¬ dicating the town’s desire to purchase Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) by truck delivery to our LNG Plant, starting in Decem¬ ber 1975. These deliveries, which will be used for winter peak shaving purposes, will total 30 million cubic feet of gas in 1975 - 76, and allow for incremental increases in future years. 2. At the time of this report, the Town is prepared to enter into agreement with Algonquin Gas Transmission Co. for purchases of natural gas in accordance with the Algonquin LNG service that will be available in December, 1975. Liquid natural gas from Algeria will be vaporized in a plant being built by Algon¬ quin in Providence, R. I. and delivered via existing pipelines to our measuring and regulating station in South Middlebor- ough. The 22-year agreement will call for Algonquin to deliver 150,000 cubic feet of gas per day in 1975 increasing increment- ally to a maximum of 350,000 cubic feet per day in 1980. 3. The Town has entered into a short term contract with Gas In¬ corporated, (a subsidiary of Lowell Gas Co.), to deliver up to 225,000 gallons of propane during the winter of 1972-73. We retain an option to increase this amount by 150% for use during the winter of 1973-74. Propane is used as a feedstock in our propane-air production facilities to provide additional gas for the Town’s pipeline system. 4. As noted in last year’s report, Middleborough has agreed to purchase approximately 30 million cubic feet of Synthetic Nat¬ ural Gas (SNG) per year starting in the winter of 1973-74 from the Algonquin Gas Transmission Co. Algonquin’s plant (under construction) in Freetown, Mass., is expected to be in operation by October, 1973.

Electric Business: The soliciting of bids for additional bulk supplies of Electric Power from neighbor Electric Utilities (Brockton, Taunton and New Bedford) resulted in continuing negotiations during the whole year of 1972. The

~~201 SERVICES AND UTILITIES~~

need for this power is due to the loading “up to capacity” of our Electric System and the increasing demand due to Normal Growth. In addition, the influx of Land Developers into Middleboro has resulted in an un¬ precedented amount of home and apartment building which adds con¬ siderably to the overall demand for electric power. At year’s end, the signing of a contract with the Brockton Edison Co. was nearing a satis¬ factory conclusion. The final contract will leave the door open for buying some of the power, at a later date, from other suppliers so that Middleboro may have either two sources of supply or alternate supply lines for better reliability.

The designing of a new 115,000 volt transmission supply line into Middleborough is well under way by our engineering consultants (R. W. Beck Co.). The line, expected to be built in 1973, will be operated at 14,000 volts until a new substation is built in Middleborough to utilize power at 115,000 volts. The acquisition of an additional 100 foot wide Right of Way (adjacent to the existing 50 foot along which Middlebor¬ ough is now receiving electric power from the Brockton Edison Co.) for the proposed new electric line is proceeding satisfactorily with only a few land parcels to be taken. The design of a new substation to receive electric power at 115,000 volts at the Wareham St. substation area is also in progress.

Other: A major change in our billing procedures was effected in our office in 1972. This was made necessary by the wearing out of our Sundstrand-type billing machines and the inability to acquire new ones because they were no longer manufactured. After much investigation of various machines, the Phillips (magnetic tape) make was purchased as it will still permit having “Ledger cards”, which are considered desirable from a “Customer Relations” stand point. The new machines will permit the efficient handling of the billing procedures at a faster rate to take care of our growing Gas & Electric business.

While we may be pleased in having a larger profit (over last year) in both the Gas & Electric divisions, when most other Utilities are Raising their Rates because of a Drop in Profits, we must be aware that these increases in profits are not on the same basis as in previous years and that there may be a corresponding DECREASE in profits (below Normal) in 1973. The irregularities, as evaluated at the present time, seem to be partially due to changes in our billing time cycles because of the new machines.

On the whole, considering that many new problems were imposed on the Department and the Gas & Electric Light Commissioners (Select¬ men), it is believed that the operations for the year 1972 can be con¬ sidered as reasonably satisfactory. They seem to compare well with those of neighbor Utility Companies in respect to Rates, Reliability of Service, and Benefits to the Town.

~~Conclusion The 303rd year of the Incorporation of the Town of Middleborough has passed. It seems as though it was only yesterday I sat down and prepared the 62nd report.~~

~~Two changes in personnel assignments were made in early 1972 which provided for an addition, Detective and District Court Prosecutor.~~

Since January 1968 I have acted as District Court Prosecutor for the Police Department, which has been an enjoyable and enlightening part of the job. Increased case loads and other responsibilities dictated the need for changes. On January 1, 1972, the Board of Selectmen on my recommendation authorized the appointment of Patrolman Arnold C. Salley as District Court Prosecutor. From all reports, Arnold has proven to be a capable and respected District Court Prosecutor.

On January 1, 1970 the Board authorized the establishment of a one man Detective Bureau. With the ever increasing work load for the Detective Bureau, it proved more than one man could handle. Here again, the Board authorized the placement of an additional officer in the Detective Division. On February 21, 1972 Patrolman Wilfred H. Lavallee, Jr. was transferred to the Detective Bureau. The Bureau is now covering 8 AM to 12 Midnight except Saturdays and Sundays.

~~205 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY~~

Due to the nature of and hours worked by the Detective Bureau, each officer is assigned a cruiser. Criminals being such as they are, the Detectives spend much of their time out of the community and trans¬ portation is required. The second year these cars were marked and used by the patrol force.

~~With the retirement of Sergeant Frank A. Pierce, Jr., James W. Follett served as a provisional sergeant pending the establishment of a list by Civil Service.~~

~~On March 30, 1972 the Board of Selectmen was notified by the Dir¬ ector of Civil Service of the establishment of the Promotional List for Sergeant within the Middleborough Police Department.~~

One position to be established was Deteetive/'Rank of Sergeant/, a position which was being held provisionally by Patrolman Alan C. De- Moranville, Jr. since 1971. Alan topped the list and was promoted by vote of the Board of Selectmen in May of 1972 and presently is officer in charge of the Detective Bureau.

The second position was that of Police Sergeant within the uniformed division. To this position the Board of Selectmen promoted Jeffrey G. Cornell an eight year veteran of the department. Jeffrey replaced re¬ tired Sergeant Pierce on the 12 Midnight to 8 AM shift as well as serving as records statistical officer of the department.

In May, three members of the department received Associate of Police Science Degrees from the Massasoit Community College at com¬ mencement exercises held at the Bridgewater State College. Those of¬ ficers receiving degrees were Chief William E. Warner, and Sergeants Benjamin J. Mackiewicz, Sr. and Alan C. DeMoranville, Jr.

At the time the incentive program was accepted by the Town Meet¬ ing approximately six regular officers were enrolled in the various area institutions of Higher Education. This year nineteen regular officers were availing themselves of the opportunity to further their education by enrolling in a degree program.

Two supervisory officers attended the Command Training Institute sponsored by the New England Chiefs of Police Association held at the Babson Institute in Wellesley. Four officers received basic training at the local officers school at the Massachusetts State Police Academy. The local officers training has been increased to ten weeks and will be further increased to twelve weeks.

During the summer months, what had been previously called the Red Cross Room located over the entrance to the Court House, was reno¬ vated and is presently being used by the department as an officer’s day or ready room. It’s really surprising what some panelling, new lighting, tiled floor, and a new ceiling will do to make a very attractive and much needed area.

~~206 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY~~

The summer months brought an increased percentage of youthful trouble for the Town. I point out here the department personnel do their utmost to maintain order within the community, but we must have the assistance of the citizens of the community. The regular, special, and auxiliary officers of the department, as well as State Police officers, and area Police Departments, spent many additional hours with one intent, to protect property and maintain order during this period.

Appointed special officers, other than those appointed for a specific purpose, are used within the department to fill vacancies which exist when regular officers are not available to fill both shift assignments and extra paid details. These part time officers equip themselves and avail themselves of free time to receive training. We thank them for their assistance throughout the year.

The Auxiliary Police lends assistance strictly on a volunteer basis year in and year out. Auxiliary officers are assigned to the John Glass Square area every Friday night. Regularly scheduled training programs have been established in the various phases of departmental procedures, such as cruiser, beat, and desk duty. The Auxiliary performed 2,392 man hours during 1972, again a hearty well done.

The October Special Town Meeting authorized four additional of¬ ficers for the department. I point out we picked up the salary of two officers who had been employed as provisionals under the Emergency Employment Act, thus, though the salary for four officers was appro¬ priated, we actually only added two.

With the added personnel and additional patrol coverage over the past few years, I noted in preparing the statistical report, our vehicles travelled 376,674 miles during 1972. Further, I noted in 1971 there were 241 cases of breaking and entering and in 1972 there were 176. Though I fully realize we can never totally eliminate this type of crime, the best deterant is saturation or just plain additional patrol coverage; which hopefully bears out what I have stressed when requesting addi¬ tional personnel and equipment.

Through the continued co-operation of the Peirce Trustees, we now possess a tape logging system. In essence, the system consists of a ten channel tape recorder, which includes a fail-safe system which will record all telephone conversations, not only on the present lines, but also the proposed 911 system. In addition, it will record the radio conversations on both police frequencies as well as the local govern¬ ment frequency used by the Middleboro Department of Public Works, thus relieving all agencies of the necessity of keeping a radio log. Further, should an emergency call be received where the complainant is excited and hangs up before all the information is recorded by the officer, it can be retrieved from the tape. My personal thanks to the Peirce Trustees for their assistance over the past five years.

As I see Town Government, there must be a conserted effort of co-operation between all phases and units to have a good working sys¬ tem. To coin an old cliche, “There is no letter I in the word team.” The

~~207 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY spirit of co-operation within our fine Town this past year is noteworthy and to all, my personal thanks.~~

I cannot close without taking the time to mention the employees of the department, whether uniformed or civilian, I am proud of you all. The manner in which you present yourselves is in the highest degree of professionalism; a credit to the department and to the Town of Middleborough.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~COMMENTS:~~

~~All inspections of buildings, Nursing Homes, Rest Homes, Hospitals, and oil burners have been made as required by law.~~

~~A total of 514 burning permits were issued for cook-outs, and agri¬ cultural burning purposes.~~

~~Four men have been attending Massasoit Community College and Bristol Community College.~~

~~The townspeople voted for a new 1,000 gpm pumper to replace Engine #4, a 1934 Maxim 750 gpm pumper which broke down and was traded in.~~

In 1974 the voters of Middleborough will be asked to replace old Engine #2, a 1946 Maxim Pumper which was converted from a ladder truck. This piece of equipment is 26 years old, and will soon require major overhaul of the pump which will be costly.

~~211 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY~~

~~New underground wire was installed along the White Way. This will eliminate much of the trouble we have had with the circuits being out of commission in the center of town.~~

~~New overhead fire alarm wire was installed along South Main Street, and to the Lakeville State Hospital.~~

~~Joseph Miskinis, a member of the Fire Department for 34 years, both call and permanent has retired as of December 31, 1972.~~

~~Two new men were added to the Department under the Emergency Employment Act Program. These men are temporarily employed.~~

~~The Peirce Trustees donated a new boat, motor, and trailer to the Fire Department, which will be of great help to the Rescue Unit.~~

~~Three pieces of apparatus have been converted to two-channels and hopefully the others will be converted this year. This will allow for better communications between headquarters and the apparatus.~~

~~One new portable Walkee Talkee was added in 1972, which ac¬ counted for better communications between officers and apparatus.~~

Again I ask for the people of Middleborough to give serious thought to the prospects of Sub-stations in our rural areas. The North Middle- borough and East Middleborough sections have been greatly developed in the last few years. Voters of Middleborough should give serious thought to providing proper protection to the people who live and work in these areas.

~~REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.~~

~~Civil Defense experienced a relatively uneventful year.~~

Our training program was complemented by having the Auxiliary Police participate in a weapons handling course under the instruction of the Boston Police Department. Three of the Auxiliary Police also completed a course in Radioactivity Detection.

~~The Auxiliary Police have acquired a patrol car and we have dis¬ posed of the obsolete ambulance.~~

~~213 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY~~

As far as the forces of nature are concerned, we had an excep¬ tionally wet year with a total rainfall in excess of 53 inches. This was about 12 inches above normal annual average, making 1972 our wettest year since 1868.

~~The few hurricanes that might have been a problem to us expended their destructive energies in the Virginia — Pennsylvania region with great loss of property and some lives.~~

The closest industrial calamity to us was the violent destruction of the fireworks-factory-complex in Bridgewater on March 30, 1972. Your director was in the area at the time, alerted the State Highway Depart¬ ment and assisted in setting up the detour around the scene on Route 18.

As in the previous year, the surplus property program has been by far the most valuable and beneficial part of Civil Defense to the tax¬ payers of Middleborough. In the past year with an expenditure of $1,500.00 our Town Departments acquired $18,000.00 worth of small tools, hardware and electrical distribution components. The purchase of these items allows our Town Deparments to operate on smaller bud¬ gets, reflecting a savings in our Tax rate.

We have been promised trucks and construction equipment by the Surplus Property Agency. In 1972 we received one truck. A lot of equipment that was supposed to have been made available was given to East Pakistan and the Republic of South Vietnam. Also, a reduction in the Federal Defense Budget has diminished the supply of surplus vehicles.

Presently, the biggest problem in Middleborough is that segment of the young people who congregate in the center of town seeking excitement and causing apprehension to the local merchants for their property and customers. Besides the concern for danger to life and prooerty,there is also an additional financial burden placed on the whole Town. The additional Police patrol wages are reflected in our tax rate and the property damage claims are included in the increases in our property insurance premiums.

These young people have little respect for other people, for prop¬ erty, public or private; and a very limited sense of responsibility. Some facet of their education, the home, the church or the school, or some combination of these institutions isn’t functioning in the manner neces¬ sary for these teen-agers to approach responsible adulthood with any amount of respect for others or their property.

If this trend toward lawlessness and destruction is allowed to con¬ tinue, the center of our Town will undergo a faster degree of decay and abandonment. Our merchants can verify that they can notice less pedes¬ trians in the town area in the evenings and on weekends.

~~Again, our Auxiliary Police deserve the highest praise for the many man hours they put in, at no cost to the taxpayers, in assisting the~~

~~214 PROTECTION OF PROPERTY regular Police Department in their duties. (Their report is in another section of this report.)~~

~~Our Basic Table of Organization, listed below, has been the same as in the previous year.~~

~~REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD~~

~~Honorable Board of Selectmen Middleborough, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

The Planning Board has been occupied primarily with land develop¬ ment regulation since adoption of the Subdivision Control Law in 1966. A partial measure of this activity is presented in the following figures:

~~1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 New lots divided* 27 15 25 43 116 362 320 Subdivisions approved 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 * includes subdivision lot units.~~

These figures do not reflect the full range of involvement; however, which includes negotiations over plan details, disapprovals, preliminary plan reviews, public hearings, etc. What they do show is the relative increase in land development activity. Not included in the figures are the many housing starts that do not involve land portioning.

The future impact of this growth on Middleborough will be espec¬ ially great because of its character. The majority of land division and housing growth has occurred in remote extremities of the Town — away from existing services and utilities. The relative low cost and attractiveness of this remote land make its development financially interesting to real estate developers and builders — who account for most of the activity. This trend indicates the need for development regulation to main¬ tain a healthy living and working environment. In this interest, the Planning Board proposed several articles for the Town Meeting War¬ rant. The articles, all of which were passed with little opposition were:

~~1. The Massachusetts State Building Code was adopted for the Town thus promoting uniformity in construction standards throughout a wider area.~~

2. The Zoning Bylaw was revised to adopt a widespread Inland Wetlands District in the interest of flood plain zoning. This law change requires special protective measures for building devel¬ opment in land areas with a high water table and potential for flooding.

~~218 BOARDS AND AGENCIES~~

~~3. Another Zoning By-law change relieved the requirement to ob¬ tain permits to store mobile camping units.~~

~~The first two of these articles were drawn in substance from the Master Plan prepared in the previous two years for the Planning Board.~~

In preparation for the 1973 Town Meeting, the Planning Board has proposed adoption of several other changes to the Zoning Bylaw. In substance the development density for planning purposes of much of the Town will be reduced if these articles receive favorable action. Other material from the plan will be used in the future to recommend further changes in due course.

~~REPORT OF THE VETERANS’ SERVICES DEPARTMENT~~

~~Honorable Board of Selectmen Middleborough, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen:~~

~~I hereby submit the annual report of the Department of Veterans’ Services.~~

The budget for 1972 was $135,665.57. Middleborough is reimbursed 50% of this expense by the State Government. With careful attention to fiscal matters, we were able to operate within the confines of our allotted monies. In keeping with the new State policy, our 1973 budget will be based on an 18 month period, so that future budgets will be on a fiscal year schedule.

Operating as middle-man for veterans and their many concerns on town, state and federal level, such as public welfare, education, bonuses, housing, hospitalization, employment, Social Security, pensions, burial matters, etc. we become directly involved with day-to-day personal needs of our recipients who are, with rare exceptions, wonderful people who are most grateful for whatever assistance we are able to afford them. The Town Hall office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Mrs. Alice Smith, our most experienced and know¬ ledgeable Secretary, and I are available during these hours and my ever-helpful wife, Marian, receives the usual number of phone calls at home from those who cannot get to the office.

We are very grateful to the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager Anders Martenson, his Secretary, Shirley Robinson, Town Clerk Ruth Caswell and her aides, and to the many others who assist us so willingly throughout the year.

Certain necessary investigative work to ensure that the veteran is eligible for financial assistance will occasionally result in a bit of discontent. For those individuals who protest a reduction or termination in funding, there is a right of appeal to the Commissioner’s Office. Representatives from his office in Boston work in cooperation with us to provide the regulations which result in a business-like operation, fair to the veteran and fair to the taxpayer.

We were particularly pleased to be instrumental in obtaining a specially constructed home for a totally disabled paraplegic veteran. To be able to be of meaningful service to such a deserving individual certainly makes our job a satisfying one.

~~There have been many changes in Chapter 115 of the Veterans’~~

~~220 BOARDS AND AGENCIES~~

Laws of Massachusetts, too many to enumerate at this time, so it be¬ hooved those who are effected by such changes to come to our office and check the Newsletters and releases and to read the Veterans’ Agents notices as they appear in the local newspapers. Columnist Claire Rock- wood is most obliging in making such information known to her readers. Our continuing attendance at Seminars and other meetings is necessary in keeping abreast of changes in laws and operating policies.

Often it is necessary to effect immediate action in assisting a vet¬ eran and the most influential one to contact is the State Representative. Dave Flynn has been of great assistance to this office. We wish him the best of everything in his new position of Director of Planning and Devel¬ opment at Bridgewater State College.

~~It might be appropriate to touch on several matters which are of current interest.~~

The Legislature will act on the Viet Nam Veterans’ bonus which was vetoed by the Governor. Despite the “Peace is at Hand” hopes, the conflict undeniably goes on, so it would seem most likely that a veterans’ bonus such as has existed since 1958, will continue to exist in one form or another, just as long as our troops are on the battlefield.

~~Changes are in effect for those who are 65 years of age. Find out what they consist of.~~

The new law increases the rates of those in education programs to $220.00 a month for a full time single student and corresponding in¬ creases for married veterans with dependents, wives, widows and child¬ ren under the War Orphans Act.

~~Social Security benefits have been expanded, particularly for those who are widowed, in need of medical attention, or who are aged, blind or otherwise disabled.~~

~~Those who received a military discharge “other than honorable” because of drug use or possession of same, should apply for a discharge review.~~

~~G. I. Bill education benefits for most Post-Korean veterans who haven’t initiated same, expire May 31, 1974. This applies to those who were discharged between Jan. 31, 1955 to June 1, 1966.~~

~~V.A. guaranteed home loans are available to wives of P.O.W.’s and M.I.A’s and to unremarried widows of veterans and servicemen whose deaths were service connected.~~

~~V. A. mobile home loan applications have increased tremendously of late.~~

Changes in policy within public welfare and Medicaid have resulted in an increased case load for Veterans’ Services, with medical expenses consuming a large share of our budget. As of the moment, we have approximately 100 recipients in our care, including more than 40 fam-

~~221 BOARDS AND AGENCIES ilies, on a full expense of food supplies, clothing, fuel, medical costs, rental expenses, etc.~~

~~Reimbursements from liens placed upon Workmen’s Compensation checks, automobile accident claims and certain real estate holdings for the year 1972 totalled $959.00.~~

A real savings to the townspeople occurs when we are able to transfer a hospitalized veteran from a local hospital setting to a federal Veterans’ Administration facility. This is usually accomplished with the assistance of local doctors in attendance.

~~ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS~~

As required by Sections 3 and 4 of Chapter 72 of the General Laws and in accordance with the policies of the Middleborough School Com¬ mittee, it is with gratitude towards our Townspeople that I submit my fifth Annual Report as Superintendent of Schools. During the past year many significant changes have taken place and we look forward to many more. Thanks to the generosity of our voters and the Peirce Trustees construction is well underway on the new 21-room addition, media center, offices and swimming pool for the Burkland and Mayfower com¬ plex. Kindergartens have become a successful reality with twelve classes (six classrooms) housing 278 young students. With the completion of the Burkland-Mayflower addition our elementary crowding problem will be ended. All of our fourth grades will be moved there, making room in the outlying schools so that our youngest school children may remain close to their homes. My thanks to the elementary teachers and principals, especially Mr. Desrosiers, for their assistance on the specifi¬ cations and/or the long-range planning for this building. Our thanks also to Mr. Richard Wilmot, his fine Elementary Building Committee and Dix Shevalier, our architect, for making a dream a reality in seven short months. With our enrollments at an all-time high, relief will arrive in time. Our hope is that our enrollments will increase realistic¬ ally during the years to come, and that we can hold to our long-range building program.

At Memorial Junior High School this year Mr. Lindsay and his staff, with the cooperation of the sixth grade teachers, have realized an individually scheduled program for each student. This provides for five separate levels of instruction within each major subject matter area, insuring that each student is placed in a class commensurate with his ability and past performance. Science has become a full major subject of five periods a week. Two additional master teachers were hired and more emphasis has been placed on laboratory experiences and field work. Our Title III N.D.E.A. money was used in providing much needed equipment for the Science Department. Thanks to Mr. Jeffrey Stevens, Science Department Head, for his assistance in obtaining this grant. Our occupational education offerings were enhanced by the addition

~~227 SCHOOL REPORT~~

of a half year in electricity for boys in the eighth grade. Our thanks to Mr. Welch and Mr. Drew for securing the Federal funds to finance this program. Mrs. Rochelle DeCaro, English Department Head at Mem¬ orial Junior High School; Mr. H. Charles Bichsel, teacher; and Mrs. Wil- rene Card, Reading Coordinator, are working together on better ap¬ proaches to developmental and remedial reading programs for all of our junior high students. The Social Studies Department under Miss Patricia Leaden, is implementing its newly completed curriculum guide, and the Math Department under Mr. Robert Muir, has completed a three-year update of math texts and programs for all students. Mr. Muir and Mrs. Lois Buck, Middleboro High School, are now involved in a re¬ juvenation of the mathematics curriculum for grades 1 - 12. Our staff has found our in-service program invaluable to them for improved communication and cooperation. Finally, we have a structural problem with the South roof of the Memorial Building. The roof is settling and we now await a structural engineer’s report and recommendations.

At Middleborough High School this year we have added a second year of distributive education, Mr. David Marzelli, teacher; a course in basic aeronautics taught by Mr. James Ansell; a course in Piano Keyboard taught by Mrs. Janice Bichsel, and Girls’ Chorus direc¬ ted by Mr. Richard Brooks. Tracking in scheduling was extended from English to include Introduction to Matter and Energy, Science, Biology, and U. S. History. Our academic evaluation by N.E.A.S.S.C. took place on November 14 - 16, 1972. In March, 1973, N.E.A.S.S.C. will act upon our accreditation. The second year at Middleborough High School, thanks to Mr. Johnson, his staff and students, ran much more smoothly. Our student body seems genuinely committed to making a good school even better. Our special thanks to the Student Advisory Council, con¬ sisting of the four class Presidents and the President of the Student Council. They have been meeting with the School Committee every sec- cond month with positive results. Mrs. Lois Buck, Mathematics Depart¬ ment Head, has completed a Computer Math Course outline and a second computer was added under an N.D.E.A. grant written by Mrs. Buck. Miss Phyllis Dupee, Science Department Head, reports that her staff has been busy in curriculum revision and improvement. The English Department, Mr. Joseph Joaquin Department Head, has introduced a new anthology series and is studying various areas of curriculum re¬ vision. The Foreign Language Department, Mr. John E. Sullivan, Depart¬ ment Head, developed a new curricula for French I, II, III, and IV, and independent study unit on Anton Chekhov for Russian IV Students. The Department was commended during the High School Evaluation when the visiting evaluation team said, “The Middleborough program (of foreign languages) could well exercise a strong influence on the future of secondary foreign language teaching.” Congratulations! Mrs. Whipple and her Social Studies Department staff have developed a unique set of guidelines for working with handicapped students. Mrs. Esther L. Moore, Business Education Department Head, leaves us this year after 43 years of service, for well earned retirement. Our best wishes and thanks go with her for the outstanding work and devotion she has pro¬ vided in establishing an outstanding department, but more particularly for the example and training she has provided her students over the years.

~~Pupil Personnel Service and Occupational Education under the di¬ rection of Mr. Herbert A. Drew, continues to expand and provide more~~

228 SCHOOL REPORT and better service to our pupils. His report, as well as those of our other Directors — Mr. Richard E. Nelson, Music; Mr. Joseph A. Masi, Physical Education and Athletics; and Mr. Eugene W. McAfee, Media Services, are included in this Annual Report as they were presented to us. My thanks to these men for their help in coordinating our ac¬ tivities. My thanks to Mrs. Regina J. Calvey, Miss Eileen Dowd and the art teachers on our staff. They ran their second very successful Annual Art Festival in May.

The Professional Services Committee was active, too. Under the 1971 - 1972 Chairmanship of Mr. Harvey F. Brooks, who was then suc¬ ceeded by Miss Linda Herrmann, for the 1972 - 1973 year, many curric¬ ulum study projects were initiated. A revised teacher evaluation manual and forms were realized, kindergarten curriculum and equipment lists were prepared, and several in-service courses were approved for this year. The fall courses presented included a 15-hour Art Course coordin¬ ated by Mrs. Calvey and a 45-hour Drug Practicum conducted by Marie and Stuart O’Brien at Middleborough High School. These were very well received by faculty and students alike. This spring Mr. McAfee will present a 45-hour course in the preparation and presentation of Audio- Visual materials while Mrs. Wilrene Card will present a 15-hour prac¬ ticum in utilizing reading techniques to subject matter areas on the secondary level. Our sincere thanks to these staff members for sharing their skills and knowledge with others for the betterment of instruction.

Our budget this year reflects an 18-month period, including two winters which are our most expensive months with utilities and main¬ tenance. We have made every effort to hold the line on that portion of the budget which reflects expenses. Most of our increases are in salaries and the increases there are within the Federal wage guidelines. We recognize the burden this imposes on local taxpayers and are working for and will vigorously support legislation which reduces the burden of the regressive property tax. We pledge every effort to obtain a dollar’s value for each dollar spent. We will provide the best possible educa- cational program for our students that our resources can provide.

My thanks to the School Committee, the Peirce Trustees, the ad¬ ministrators, the teachers, the nurses, the clerks, the cafeteria workers, the aides, the custodians and maintenance men, the bus operators and drivers for their help and cooperation. I am also grateful to the Select¬ men, the Finance Committee, the Conservation Commission, Mr. Anders Martenson, Mrs. Ruth Caswell, Mr. William E. Warner, Mr. Stephen Horbal, Mr. Stuart Peak, Mrs. Ellen Grant, Mr. Weldon Thomas and their staffs plus others without whose help our job would be most difficult.

~~Finally, my thanks to Mr. James C. Hilton, my affable assistant, my very efficient office staff, my wife, and the students and Townspeople of Middleborough.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~LINCOLN D. LYNCH Superintendent of Schools~~

~~229 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~ANNUAL REPORT Middleborough Elementary Schools~~

One of the basic priorities of an elementary school program is that it facilitates the acquisition and mastery of the basic skills, particularly in Reading and Mathematics. Hopefully, the learner is guided toward learning for learning’s sake with the eventual goal of independent study and that such a program be free of the threat of failure by any child.

~~Toward these ends the program at Henry B. Burkland School for this school year has been redesigned in two critical areas:~~

1. Individualized scheduling of each pupil in Reading and Math¬ ematics into his appropriate instructional level. 2. Individualized instruction in Reading and Mathematics for pu¬ pils with learning difficulties.

~~This design and structure has the advantage of constanty moving from the static to the dynamic and is always open-ended.~~

~~Throughout this structure there is the flexibility for those pupils whose progress necessitates mobility.~~

~~KINDERGARTEN — WEST SIDE SCHOOL~~

~~230 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~With the opening of schools this past September, Middleborough observed another “first” within its school system: the implementation of public kindergarten.~~

~~Under a State mandate issued to all communities to establish public kindergarten by the fall of 1973, Middleborough “opened its doors” to 278 five-year-olds a year ahead of schedule.~~

Cited in last year’s annual report were the efforts being augmented preliminary to their establishment. Several problems were overcome (not least of which was physical space — two kindergarten classes are in rented facilities; another in a portable classroom) but we are happy to report the healthy functioning of all twelve classes.

Space, transportation, supplies and materials, furniture, light snacks maintenance are all areas of considerable importance, but few would deny that the teacher and the program itself constitute the vital ingred¬ ients of a successful kindergarten approach.

~~We feel that we have six teachers of very high caliber in our initial year of public kindergartens.~~

Good kindergarten teachers have a sound knowledge of child de¬ velopment and know how to stimulate the child without putting undue pressure on him. They can recognize individual needs, which indicate in some youngsters perceptual, language and motor difficulties as well as physical, social and emotional problems, thereby making an early referral to special services of the scnool system possible, when attention and treatment can be more effective than a later diagnosis would allow.

An examination of modern kindergarten programs shows that they offer a great deal more today than had been envisioned under the Germanic “child’s garden” concept. In today’s kindergarten, many chil¬ dren discover fields of learning that the teacher will encourage them to explore further. This is the foundation for cognitive development and appropriate preparation for the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics.

A good kindergarten helps the child to establish patterns of expec¬ tation of success which are gradually cumulative and create a climate of confidence for his learning experiences. This program is comprehen¬ sive and flexible, offering a wide range of emotional, social, physical and educational experiences using a variety of techniques and devices to increase a child’s knowledge of himself and what he is capable of doing and becoming. It encourages general exploration and manipulation of his expanded environment. Activities are carried out to provide maxi¬ mum opportunities for communication and to allow for valid observa¬ tion of a child’s ability by the teacher.

It is difficult to measure statistically the effect of a kindergarten experience on a child’s life. If and when research instruments are keener and can probe deeper and with more sensitivity, it may be possible to

231 SCHOOL REPORT measure the specific contributions kindergarten makes to a child’s life. It is certain, however, that inner strength, confidence and achievement result from one year of solidly satisfying living followed by another year, and another.

~~ROBERT E. DESROSIERS ROBERT W. GROSS EDWARD W. SAWICKI FRANKLIN E. JAMES Elementary Principals~~

~~Memorial Junior High School~~

The emphasis during the past year has been focused on the im¬ provement of instruction, now that the physical facilities have been restored to a satisfactory status. The report of the previous year stated that new approaches to grouping and scheduling were being studied in anticipation of trends toward individualized programming according to individual needs. That goal has now been realized.

For the academic year 1972 - 1973, individualized scheduling for each student has been accomplished. With input from the teachers of grades six and seven a master schedule was constructed which would accommodate five separate levels of instruction within each major subject area. Students were recommended for the proper level by their subject teacher, thus insuring that each student would be placed in a class commensurate with his ability and past performance in that par¬ ticular subject. Efforts were made to maintain a smaller class size in the lower level groups, the need for individual attention being so important. If the need arises for a level to be changed, the student can be trans¬ ferred whenever possible to another level in that subject area, without disturbing the placement in all subjects.

The non-academic areas such as music, art, industrial arts, home economics and physical education are heterogenous, or mixed ability in grouping. This satisfies the requirement of democratic placement as well as providing the students with the opportunity of having a wider circle of friends and learning relationships.

There have been several basic improvements in the Science Depart¬ ment. The time allotment per student has been increased from four periods per week to five, which is comparable to the other academic areas. With the addition of two certified science teachers with master’s degrees, all science classes are taught by certified science majors. More emphasis is now being placed on laboratory experiences and field work. With new microscopes available, natural areas behind the school provide opportunities for studying ecological communities, insects, and micro¬ organisms.

~~Other innovations include a half year course in electricity for boys in the eighth grade as part of the Industrial Arts program. Through~~

232 SCHOOL REPORT federal funding the materials have been made available for the study of basic circuitry. This background will be especially valuable for those boys going to the Bristol-Plymouth Regional High School, as well as providing a good general knowledge of electricity for all.

The English Department has developed a curricula which stresses the vocational approach to developmental reading and basic grammar for the basal levels of both grades. A modified developmental reading program is also being planned for the middle and top levels of both grades, with appropriate materials being made available. Within the next few years, we would like to see the conversion of the library bal¬ cony into a developmental reading laboratory, staffed with a full time teacher similar to the program recently initiated at the high school.

The Social Studies Department has been involved in implementing its new curriculum. Some activities and special projects which were tried in conjunction with the stated aims of bringing about a change in the student attitudes toward other cultures were the actual cooking and sharing of a Japanese and Chinese dinner, skits on family relationship in Asia, compositions on values in America and skits on Christmas a- round the world.

A new program made possible by the individualized scheduling was the creation of an American History class for diagnosed and sus¬ pected learning disabled students. The teacher is qualified in this area as well as in Social Studies.

~~The cooperation among departments has been expanded this year to work in conjunction with the music and art departments. In addition, units on foreign and American literature are being developed.~~

The existing mathematics curriculum will soon be revised under the combined direction of the secondary mathematics department heads. In order to coordinate the teaching from a new edition of the book in use from grades 1 - 8, as well as providing an improved guide for the new individualized programming, a committee will undertake this es¬ sential project. New textbooks for Algebra I will be purchased for use next year, insuring that the book and preparation will be identical with that offered at the high school. An additional teacher was found neces¬ sary to accommodate the increase in enrollment and the last completely empty room was utilized, giving us full use of the third floor.

Our intramural and sports program is continually expanding with the addition of field hockey equipment for the girls and floor hockey for the boys. Other programs already in existence are receiving enthusiastic participation.

The library is being fully utilized, with study periods sending up to thirty-six students every period for reference work and reading. Cir¬ culation is showing marked increases, having doubled in the past two years.

~~Our guidance department will be augmented by replacing a part- time female counselor with a full-time male counselor as of next~~

~~233 SCHOOL REPORT~~

September. With over 630 students anticipated, the services provided are varied and extensive, ranging from scheduling new students throughout the year, large group testing, personal counseling, team meetings, home reports, guidance records, referrals to outside agencies, to planning courses for high school. Additionally, all of the procedural work involved with students applying to and entering Bristol-Plymouth Regional High School is an important responsibility of the Guidance Department.

Our future plans will be controlled largely by the gradual increase in school enrollment. Next year our seventh grade will increase by at least thirty-two students, based on current figures. With new home- building, it could be significantly more. This means that our basal groups will have to be enlarged in order to absorb the extra students, an educationally undesirable alternative. A continuing policy of hiring the staff necesary to meet the needs of our students is essential to maintain desirable educational standards.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~ALAN R. LINDSAY, Principal~~

~~Middleborough High School~~

~~The High School opened in September with few but significant changes in curriculum over last years program. These include:~~

(1) A second year of Distributive Education including two class¬ room hours per day. Senior students in this course complete their school day at 12:30 P.M. or 1:17 P.M. and then report to various work stations in the community where they are em¬ ployed for no more than 15 hours per week. For this work experience they earn diploma credit.

(2) Because of a very capable aviator and flight instructor on our faculty, we instituted this year a minor elective named Basic Aeronautics. This course deals with the history of aviation, aircraft design, nomenclature, functions, weather, navigation and space.

(3) We have extended our tracking program in order to meet more effectively the needs of a greater number of students. Pupils are assigned to academic levels according to test results and past performance. In addition to English we now Track in I M E Science, Biology, and U. S. History.

(4) Due to increased enrollment in two areas of our curriculum it was necessary to add another faculty member this year. One- half teacher was hired to instruct all sophomore typing classes in the Business Department. Another half-teacher was added

~~234 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~to the Homemaking area. Only one teacher in that area last year carried a greater than normal teaching load so could not possibly serve all who elected such courses this year.~~

~~(5) Once again we are offering two semester courses in General Typing. To enable more to elect, we are offering the course Period VII for the first semester and Period II during the second semester.~~

~~(6) With the availablility of a piano specialist, we instituted a new minor course entitled Piano Keyboard, dealing with nota¬ tion and basic techniques.~~

~~(7) Also added this year is a course open to all girls who like to sing and who may elect without audition called Girls Chorus.~~

The evaluation of Middleborough High School, postponed in 1970 due to construction of our new facility, took place on November 14, 15 and 16, 1972. Twenty-three evaluators, representing all segments of our curriculum, for three intensive days visited classes, interviewed stu¬ dents, faculty and staff, met with subcommittees and appraised every aspect of our high school. Out of this came a report consisting of com¬ mendations and recommendations that was submitted to the New Eng¬ land Association of Schools and Colleges. In March, 1973, the report will be considered by the afore mentioned Association’s Commission on Public Secondary Schools for final disposition and accreditation status. We eagerly await their decision.

Our second year of operation opened much more smoothly than the first. The students returned to an established routine. Morale seems high. There seems to be an earnest desire within our student body to face their tasks with determination and make our good school even better.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~KENNETH L. JOHNSON, Principal~~

~~Music Department~~

As a result of a new policy of offering three years of free instru¬ mental music instruction in the elementary grades, there has been an increase of 50% in the enrollment of beginning band members. In the fall of 1972 there were sixty-five in Grade Four, fifty in Grade Five and twelve in Grade Six. In addition the two bands at the Burkland School have an enrollment of ninety musicians for a total of over 200 instru¬ mental music students in Grades Four, Five and Six. Instruction is given by Mr. Churchill, Mr. Hartford and myself.

~~Throughout the school year many musical programs were given in the various elementary schools as part of their musical development in~~

235 SCHOOL REPORT the elemental^ music curriculum, directed by Mrs. Bichsel, Mrs. Grove and Miss Whitmore. They included many Christmas programs such as: A Christmas Carol, Reindeer Party, Story of Silent Night, and Happiness is Christmas. Other programs included Peter Pan, Snow White, Bambi and The Magic Beanstalk.

In March the Fifth and Sixth Grade bands presented an instru¬ mental music concert at the Burkland School to show parents their pro¬ gress in their instrumental ensembles. The elementary school concert at the high school in May was presented to a capacity audience. Performing in this concert were three orchestras, three bands and three choirs.

Two concerts given by professional musicians were presented at the Burkland School. They were the Wheaton String Trio and Florence Reynolds, a cellist who has toured throughout the world. Both groups noted through audience response that the students were well informed about music and particularly the string instruments.

At Memorial Junior High School we welcomed Mrs. Eunice Sherman back as Junior High Music Teacher and Mr. Martin Hartford as a new member of the elementary and Junior High music staff. We had ac¬ cepted the resignation of Miss Evelyn Gillette in the spring.

~~Again this year over 40 Grade Seven students attended the Youth Concerts at Symphony Hall.~~

~~This year there are 20 string players in the Junior High orchestra under the direction of Mr. Brooks as a result of the fourth year of string instruction in the elementary grades.~~

~~Under the direction of Mrs. Sherman, a Christmas assembly entitled “Christmas Around the World” was presented to the student body in¬ volving many different departments in the Junior High.~~

~~New course offerings in music were numerous this past year. They include the following:~~

Pratt Free School Choir Burkland School Brass Choir Junior High School String Ensemble Junior High School German Band High School Music Appreciation High School Piano Keyboard Theory High School Performing Girls Glee Club High School Clarinet Choir

The Middleborough High School Band had a very successful Ex¬ change Concert with Contoocook Valley Regional High School in Peter¬ borough, New Hampshire. Audiences were impressed by the combined bands of 140 members performing a variety of selections. One hundred thirty students of the combined performing groups at the high school

236 SCHOOL REPORT attended a Boston Pops Concert under the direction of Arthur Fiedler in June. These two activities have proven to be a valuable part of the musical program offered at the High School.

A Federal Project in audio-visual materials was approved by the State Department of Education in April for the purpose of purchasing records and film strips to be used at all levels in the teaching of music.

In closing, the Music Department would like to thank the adminis¬ tration and all school personnel for their cooperation throughout the year and the Peirce Estate Trustees for their generosity in purchasing additional Junior High School Band uniforms and new blazers for the High School Men’s Glee Club.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~RICHARD E. NELSON Director of Music~~

~~Department of Physical Education and Athletics~~

Our physical education program is an integral part of the total educational program. While it is concerned with all aspects of the in¬ dividual’s development, it has its specific responsibilities. Materials include rhythms, gymnastics, individual and dual activities and team sports. Through these activities, growth and development are promoted, physical fitness fostered and maintained, skills acquired and personal and social values developed.

The department’s most satisfactory accomplishment was the pro¬ duction of a continuous curriculum guide for all grades from kinder¬ garten through high school for the Middleborough School System. All supervisors of physical education cooperated in the writing of this program.

At the primary level, the fundamental skills of walking, running, skipping, hopping, jumping, throwing, and catching are presented for the first time. Appropriate games, rhythmic activities, and self-testing activities which involve the fundamental skills are then introduced.

Physical Education at the junior and senior high school levels in¬ cludes the instructional, (basic and adapted) intramurals, recreational, and interscholastic programs. Hockey and wrestling have been added as varsity sports this year.

The problem of athletic league affiliation was resolved by the School Committee last spring when they decided that Middleborough High School be withdrawn from the Old Colony League and entered into the lower-classified South Shore League. Despite much controversy, this

237 SCHOOL REPORT seems to have been a wise move. We are now competing evenly with teams in our own class. This is especially important in a contact sport such as football and the other major sports for both girls and boys. Victories are more frequent and morale is much higher when teams are evenly matched.

~~Annual Report —1972 Pupil Personnel Services~~

Ecology is the relationship of or between an organism and its en¬ vironment. In the school setting today, the responsibility of maintaining a sound ecology or balance, rests with Pupil Personnel Services. In establishing a balanced relationship in school, between a pupil’s needs and the way we can serve those needs, we in Pupil Personnel Services provide those services, skills and specialists who can best satisfy these needs of our student population.

This year we have assumed under the Service unmbrella, Reading Services in all school grades. We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Wilrene Card, and the able Reading Aides who work so well with all of the chil¬ dren in need of supportive help in developing their skills to their highest capacity.

I must also note the addition of two new staff members in our area of service; Mrs. Donna Gates, School Nurse in Health Services and Mr. J. Peter Regan in Elementary Adjustment Counselling. We welcome them both and are pleased with their efforts on behalf of the children of our town.

~~In order to better understand our efforts and programs it is best to review our objectives.~~

1. Provide for the individual needs of our students. 2. Provide those additional tools and skills to make into a better student/citizen. 3. Provide the supportive and supplementary assistance to the classroom teacher to better assist her in her daily pupil contacts.

~~In order to satisfy the above objectives, we in Pupil Personnel Ser¬ vices render services through the following areas: Health Services Adjustment Counselling (Elementary)~~

~~238 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~Guidance Counselling (Secondary) Programs for Children with Special Educational Needs Reading Programs Programs Occupational in nature~~

~~In order that this report be as comprehensive as possible, it is pre¬ sented by areas of support.~~

~~Health Services~~

The most active part of a school health program includes a mass screening for the purpose of detecting health problems that might interfere with a student’s learning ability. This year with the estab¬ lishment of town sponsored Kindergartens, the school nurses registered and screened over 575 Kindergarten and First Grade Children.

~~1,150 school children were examined by Dr. Silliker. Physical exams are done on Grades 1, 4, 7, 10 and all students participating in sports.~~

~~Immunization Clinics were held:~~

Mumps clinic January 25, 1972 with 40 school children immunized; Measles clinic February 29, 1972 with 10 school children immunized; German Measles clinic March 28, 1972 with 141 school children im¬ munized; Diptheria Tetanus clinic April 25, 1972 with 31 school children immunized; Polio clinic May 30 through June 6, 1972 with 1,227 school children immunized. Due to the intensive immunization program of the last few years, most of our children are up to date and well protected.

~~Heaf tests were given February 8, 1972 to 491 school children in Grades 1 and 9. No positive reactors.~~

~~The entire student population were given the Vision and Hearing Test. There were 171 Vision failures and 56 Hearing failures. Notices were sent to parents of these children with appropriate referrals.~~

~~Through a Dental clinic, 800 students were examined and evaluated by Dr. Canucci.~~

All students were weighed and measured. Routine inspections were made for pediculi. A Handicapped List including hearing and vision failures was compiled from students’ health records and distributed to principals.

~~Teacher-nurse conferences were held as needed, as well as confer¬ ences with community resource people.~~

~~562 children registered for Kindergarten and First Grade.~~

~~Home visits to children being tutored at home, and also upon~~

~~239 SCHOOL REPORT request. First Aid was administered as required. 28 children were taken to or referred to the hospital.~~

~~Adjustment Counselling (Elementary)~~

Since September 1972, with the addition of Mr. J. Peter Regan, the service levels of the adjustment counselling staff has been expanded and a stronger service base has been established. Mr. Regan joins Mrs. Roselle Tharion, our other School Adjustment Counsellor.

The principal aim of the Adjustment Counselor program is the prevention of Juvenile Delinquency. Our counselors are in constant con¬ tact with the elementary school principals, teachers and specialists in order to assist children in making successful adjustments to their mode of living and learning.

In many instances, every child having a learning problem is generally seen by these counselors. The concept of opening and maintaining clear lines of communication and contacts with other non-school agencies rests with the adjustment counselors.

~~With the changes that have been enacted by the Massachusetts Legislature this past year, this vital service will be expanded to serve more children.~~

~~School visits, home visits, agency visits, pupil assessments, referrals to other agencies and close contact with children and parents are the backbone of this program.~~

~~Guidance Counselling (Secondary)~~

We are in our second full year of operational service at the High School. The three full-time counselors are in close daily contact with the entire school population and each student is seen at least three times in the course of each school year.

Each counselor has approximately 300 students to work with. The students have the same counselor for their full four year program so that each child and counselor gets to know each other and the degree of support can be enhanced as the child progresses from year to year.

The staff of the Guidance Department makes every effort to help a student plan his immediate future through scholastic and vocational testing. On the basis of such testing, they strive to help him select the proper courses and to assist him in making career decisions relative to the several post-secondary choices - colleges, junior colleges, schools of nursing, as well as schools of a technical or vocational nature — that are open to him in order that he might become a maximal citizen from a personal as well as command point of view.

~~The staff, whenever possible, also arranges formal and informal meetings between students and representatives of post-secondary schools,~~

240 SCHOOL REPORT or prospective employers. They further provide follow-up services for graduates of Middleborough High School as well as counselling for students on a planned or crisis basis: and they often help parents to locate and obtain outside professional assistance whenever the need arises.

~~At the Junior High School, Miss Lois Hamilton works full-time with all grade 8 students and with the other children on a needs basis.~~

Some of the services presently offered at Middleborough Memorial Junior High School are: personal counselling, scheduling, testing, home visits and reports, maintenance of Guidance Records, referrals to other agenices and with the opening of Bristol-Plymouth Regional Vocational Technical School, supportive work to assist students in making initial career selections for secondary school concentrations.

~~Programs for Children with Special Educational Needs~~

~~We now offer a program of service in all areas for children with special needs. The supportive services that we offer are:~~

~~Speech Therapy Perceptual Training Programs of Adjustment Programs for Academic Support~~

~~242 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~In the area of Speech Therapy, we note with regret the resignation of Miss Sarah Firth, one of our therapists for the past five years; and with pleasure her replacement Mrs. Irene Jardin.~~

The children in the target grades are all screened annually for speech defects. Those children in need are seen twice a week and periodic progress is reviewed by the therapists. In addition, both of these girls work closely with the teachers, principals, school nurses, adjustment counselors, and parents of our children.

~~Since January 1972, over 240 children have been enrolled in these programs.~~

~~Learning Disabilities: Children who have a learning disability and who can profit from specialized instructional periods and training are seen on an individual basis or in small groups.~~

These services are offered in our central schools and also in our out-lying schools. This program employs those people with specialized training and skill who work with the children to assist them in devel¬ oping their skills in auditory, visual discrimination and in sensory motor areas. To achieve this, we screen all of the children who are recom¬ mended and specific plans are developed for each child.

At present, we employ one teacher four days a week at Henry B. Burkland school and one tutor full-time, and one teacher half-time in the outlying schools, in addition to the Reading Aides in the Central Schools.

~~This entire program is under the direction of Mrs. Wilrene Card, Coordinator of Reading Services.~~

~~An in-service program sponsored by Curry College at Middlebor- ough High School on Learning Disabilities was conducted with over fifteen professional and paraprofessional staff enrolled.~~

~~Emotionally Disturbed Children: This program which received a $40,398.00 Federal Grant (PL 91-230) was developed and expanded by Pupil Personnel Services during the school year 1971-72.~~

Over 24 children, in dire need of extraordinary support are enrolled in this program. We were able to sustain this vital arm of Pupil Personnel Services, and through our efforts additional Federal support has been awarded for the school year 1972-73.

This program has had a singular effect on the students and staff of the school department, eg. we can look for alternatives for children who are troubled but who with specialized programming can learn, develop and return to regular classroom situations.

~~In addition to Julie Ann Sloan, our Federal Project Director, the staff includes Mrs. Del Majuri, Mr. Randall Spinney and Mr. Thomas Rogers. 243 SCHOOL REPORT~~

Other Programs: At Union Street School our program for train- ably retarded children is in its second year. The class members have shown marked improvement in their social growth under their teacher, Mrs. Faye Frangione.

The programs and offerings in the area of Elementary Practical Arts are showing the results of the continuous support of the Principal of the Mayflower School, Mr. Edward Sawicki and the two teachers who are working as a team in his building. At present there are 21 students enrolled.

The programs of Junior Practical Arts and Senior Practical Arts are now located at the Middleborough Memorial Junior High and Mid- dleborough High School respectively. The total enrollment is twenty- five. Wherever practical, all children are integrated into regular school programs and activities as mandated by regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Education.

Reading Programs Reading services for the children of Middleborough have been steadily expanding every year. The need for coordination between the different grades and between the various types of services being offered has become more apparent each year. As of September 1972, Mrs. Wil- rene F. Card, Reading Specialist in Middleborough for the past eleven years, was appointed Reading Coordinator.

The reading program in the elementary grades in Middleborough is “Developmental.” Therefore, children were grouped in their classrooms for instruction in sequential reading skills according to their individual reading level, which may or may not have been the same as their grade level. Mrs. Harriet Blanchard, Elementary Reading Supervisor, provided assistance to teachers in the lower grades in grouping children, selecting suitable books and manipulative materials, and in planning reading activities.

Children who were experiencing difficulty in classroom reading were carefully screened in June and September to determine their specific problems and make plans for remediation. Pupils in the four central elementary schools who had reading difficulties were given individual assistance daily by one of the five instructional aides in the Title I Compensatory Reading Services program or by Mrs. Wilrene Card, the project director.

Remedial reading services to Junior High School students was fur¬ nished by Harry Bichsel, who worked with small groups of pupils with similar problems. Realizing the importance of thorough diagnosis of reading problems and continuity of instruction, Mr. Bichsel met in June with 6th grade teachers to discuss the children who might need his help in September. In a similar manner, he met with Mrs. Marie O’Brien, the Reading Specialist at the High School to go over the records of pupils he had been teaching who would be entering the High School in September.

~~244 SCHOOL REPORT~~

The High School Reading Lab, staffed by Mrs. O’Brien and a teacher aide, aspires to serve the needs of as many students as possible. It oper¬ ates on a tri-dimensional level (remedial, developmental, and advanced speed reading). As in the lower grades, all students were pre-tested and each student was programmed on an appropriate level consistent with his achievement. Over 130 students elected the reading improvement program in September 1972 and 39 others (members of two ninth grade track 3 English classes) were scheduled to use the Lab.

Members of the reading staff are continually improving their own skills through in-service training and college courses. Last year Dr. Solomon Slobins, a visual training specialist, was hired with Title I funds as a lecturer and consultant for the Compensatory Reading Ser¬ vices program. The sensory-motor demonstrations and lectures on child growth and development which he gave were recorded on video-tape at the High School for future use by the system in in-service teacher¬ training. All of the members of the reading staff also attended a fifteen week evening course in “Learning Disabilities” held in Middleborough last spring by Curry College.

Programs Occupational in Nature During 1972 we were notified, received and expended the following funds under the provisions of Public Law 90-576: Filing and Office Practice $ 7,303.00 Custodial Maintenance and Training 4,537.00 Nurse’s Aide Training 3,475.00 Distributive Education 12,750.00 In October 1972 we were also notified of an additional award of $12,905.00 for Business Education Equipment. These monies not only represent an actual dollar savings to the town but represent additional means of better preparing our students to seek gainful employment upon graduation. We are always looking for better ways to improve our instructional base and to add dimensions to our instructional offerings.

~~Again, this year we shall be submitting grant requests to improve our instructional capabilities.~~

This report would be far from adequate without my mentioning the inter-departmental cooperation and support that has been extended to the support personnel of Pupil Personnel Services. The administrators, teachers, aides and all the other school staff during this past year have all worked for the betterment of student life. To work as a member of the educational team that has, during my tenure, placed service to children as its primary function, is indeed a pleasure.

~~Respectfully submitted, HERBERT A. DREW, JR. Director, Pupil Personnel Services~~

~~245 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~Media Services~~

This year we have seen increased activity in the three school libra¬ ries and the audiovisual departments of the Middleborough Public Schools. Not only has there been an increase in the use of materials but there has also been an additional emphasis placed on library-oriented programs.

At the Burkland School library an orientation period has been held for each class on library procedures, card catalog use and arrangement, the classification system, and reference materials. All departments at Memorial Junior High School are using the library for project work, library instruction, book reports, and debates in addition to regular daily use. At the high school all freshman classes have been scheduled for library orientation. Classes in various subject areas have received instruction in the use of specific reference books dealing with their field of interest. As the time for research papers approaches, another orientation class in research techniques will be conducted.

~~HENRY B. BURKLAND SCHOOL LIBRARY~~

~~246 SCHOOL REPORT~~

Students at all three libraries have an active role in the library and audio-visual centers. Not only do the student librarians and student pro¬ jectionists relieve the professional staff from many of the routine oper¬ ations, but the student assistants gain in experience and knowledge of materials, equipment and procedures associated with media centers. The student librarians at the high school may either join the library club or take a mini-course in the library for credit. Students taking the course for credit meet in the library four periods a week and receive detailed instruction in library procedure through the use of audio¬ visual aids and demonstrations by the librarian. The evaluation com¬ mittee commended the library staff for the “excellent student librarian and student audio-visual operator program.”

Teachers have been making wide use of educational and instruc¬ tional television. Educational television is currently in use in U. S. History classes at the high school and junior high school and in music appreciation classes at the high school. Class projects are under way in distributive education and consumer economics utilizing instructional television. At the junior high school instructional television was used in a social studies project, in conjunction with town officials, on voter registration and voting procedures. The video taping of classroom de¬ bates, plays and skits, discussion groups, and guest lecturers has been prevalent this year.

Teachers at all levels have participated in demonstration workshops in the use of audio-visual materials. During one elementary released time day a lecture and visual presentation was given emphasizing ser¬ vices available locally and through other regional educational agencies. Several departments at the high school have met in the library to review library materials in their respective subject areas.

, Through town appropriated funds and federal funds, more than 1800 books have been added to our school libraries. In addition, new encyclopedias, specialized reference books, magazine subscriptions, and pamphlets have been purchased. To help process these materials, perform numerous clerical tasks, train student librarians, and assist in other ways, teacher aides are employed in the three libraries. At the Burkland School library, Mrs. Clark handles other aspects of library work as well. Circulation of library materials is at an all time high with the Burkland School library circulating some 500 books each week.

k ^ 4 • * % 'f . ■ ’ ' *. ’ ‘ !* • ; it As director of Media Services my duties have included the cat¬ aloging of all audio-visual materials within the school system. With the cooperation of principals, department heads, teachers, and teacher aides, a complete catalog of all materials has been compiled and distributed so that a lateral exchange of materials results in both economical and efficient operation. Maintenance and repair of equipment and budgetary and bid procedures for equipment have also been economical measures taken by this office.

The major area of my concern is the lack of library/media centers for our elementary school children. This will be somewhat alleviated by the new addition to the Burkland/Mayflower School complex which will incorporate a media center.

~~247 SCHOOL REPORT~~

~~Goals should continue to emphasize libraries in each school district so that we can bring books to all students of Middleborough and bring all students of Middleborough to books.~~
