REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN

Our forest fire record for 1946 was perfect, let's keep it the same for 1947. Be careful when burning, have some water handy before

starting, an old broom is very useful in keeping a fire from spreading.

Don't burn when the ground is dry enough for a fire to

run, try to do your burning after four P. M. on still days.

Always get a permit before starting a fire ; sign both copies, return the bkie copy at once to your Fire Warden. They have to be sent to the District Fire Chief on the 15th and 30th of each month.

WILLIAM L. MERRILL, Forest Fire Warden.

HELP YOUR FOREST FIRE WARDEN PREVENT FIRES—IT PAYS

Prevention is one of the most important phases of all fire

effort. This is particularly true of forest fire control work. Preventing forest fires preserves valuable forest growth and other property, conserves man power and permits their use in productive channels, saxes taxpayers' money and con- serves fire fighting equipment.

The prevention of forest fires is the most important and difficult part of the work of your forest fire warden who

63 —

heads a local organization set up primarily for the security of your community's forest property. Appointed by the State Forester, upon recommendation of the Selectmen, he

is charged by law with the responsibility of local administra- tion of forest fire laws, fire prevention and suppression. In

his work he is aided by deputy forest fire wardens who, in emergency, may assume his power and authority. The

warden is guided in his work by instructions received from the State Forester and by the District Fire Chief who repre- sents the State Forester.

The im])ortance and value of the work of the forest fire

warden and his deputies is, perhaps, best appreciated during

hazardous periods when fire danger is greatest. The public,

however, looks to him at all times for speedy and economical

suppression of going fires.

To properly fulfill his mission, the warden needs the gen- erous and understanding cooperation of the public at large. He attempts to secure this cooperation by the posting of caution notices, news items and by word of mouth, always carefully explaining the necessity of restrictions imposed. In the matter of giving cooperation, however, the public

often fails. The record shows that an average of 7,300 acres of woodland are burned over by forest fires in New Hampshire each year. Analysis of fire causes reveal the fact

that more than 98 percent of all forest fires are, consistently, the result of human carelessness and are preventable. The careless smoker fails to properly extinguish his cigar, cigarette or pipe ashes or thoughtlessly throws them from

the car window ; the debris burner fails or refuses to consult

the warden, as the law requires when the ground is not cov-

ered with snow, before attempting to burn ; campers fail to properly extinguish their fires or frequently build fires when conditions are unfavorable.

The elimination of human causes from the forest fire

problem is the answer. This is not as difficult of accom-

plishment as it might appear at first glance. Let each one who reads this

64 !

1. Use ordinary common sense with fire in and near woodland.

2. Comply with requirements on the use of fire in and

near woodland and when the ground is not covered with snow, secure written permission to burn from the forest fire warden.

3. Be careful when smoking in or near woodlands. Don't throw lighted material from moving vehicles.

4. Cooperate with and assist the warden and urge others to do so.

5. HELP YOUR FOREST FIRE WARDEN PRE- VENT FIRES—his efforts are only as effective as is the cooperation you give him

75 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School District of Dunbarton:

I hereby submit my annual report as Superintendent of Schools.

Tlie current school year opened with two changes in our

teaching stafif. Mrs. Marion Hayes, who previously taught in Farmington and New Boston, was engaged as teacher of the primary room at the Center, and Mrs. Elizabeth Fottler of Weare, formerly a teacher in Claremont, took over the grammar room at the same school. These two teachers re- placed Mrs. Marion Dearborn and Mrs. Ruth x\rnold, both of Concord, who came to us in the spring of 1946 and com- pleted that school year. Miss Sarah Ames returned to the Montalona School. The situation at the Center School has been very satisfac- tory during the past year. Mrs. Dearborn and Mrs. Arnold, together with Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Fottler, have given us a healthy school atmosphere. The increased appropriation for teachers' salaries made at the district meeting last spring has certainly paid dividends, and the policy should be continued if we are to have effective teaching. Miss Ames has continued her fine work at Alontalona. She has been handicapped by an unforeseen increase in scholars. As you will note from the statistics attached to this report, the number of pupils at this time is more than double the number enrolled last year. Twent3'-nine young-

sters (at the present writing) in a small room is indeed a problem to challenge any teacher in an eight-grade room.

76 With the cooperation of the Women's Club of Dunbarton we have been able to institute a noon lunch ]:)rograni in our schools. At the Center School the Federal Proj^rani has

been set u]). with Mrs. Annie Delude preparins^ the meals. With but limited facilities at Montalona the noon lunch program had to be carried on in a less pretentious manner. Through funds made available to New Hampshire schools by the Federal Government, we were able to purchase dishes and equipment at small cost to the district. Such reim- bursement, together with an allowance of 9c per meal per

child, has made it possible to carry on a worthwhile noon

lunch program. It is my sincere hope that it will be possible to again carry on the program next year during the winter months. The annual estimated budget prepared by the school board for the consideration of the district at the annual meeting shows an increase in two items,—teachers' salaries and tuition for high school pupils. The former is obviously

necessary if schools such as ours are to continue to properly

educate children of Dunbarton. The teacher problem is still acute. Not only is the supply of teachers inadequate to meet the demands of the schools of the state, but the number of trainees in our teacher-training institutions is insuf^cient to meet the annual turnover in the schools. Just as long as industry continues to pay current wages, the supply of teachers will continue to be insufficient to attract potential teachers and, particularly in the case of Dunbarton, to retain present teachers, high salaries for teachers must be forth- coming. If districts fail to recognize this fact, the quality of teaching in our schools will decrease, and the children of our towns will be the sole losers. The increased amount for high school tuition called for in the school board's budget is necessitated by not only an increased number of secondary pupils, but also by increased tuition charges. The present rate of tuition in neighboring high schools is approximately $125 (the average of the state), while two years ago the costs were $100.

77 In closing I should like to express to the School Board, the teachers, and the townspeople of Dunbarton my appre- ciation of their cooperation and support in our joint efforts to give the children of this town the adequate schooling to which they are entitled.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE

The school nurse submits the following report for the school year September, 1945 through December 1946.

About eighty-five pupils were weighed, measured and examined in September, the beginning of the school year. The following report shows the number of children affected at that time

Defective vision, 5. Number of defects corrected 3.

Defective teeth 50. Number of defects corrected 22.

Diseased tonsils 7. Number of defects corrected 0.

A toxoid clinic, an immunizing treatment for diphtheria was given Dec. 18, 1945. Seventeen school children, those from the first through the fourth grade, and seven pre- school children received the treatment. On March 19, 1946, eleven school children had their second treatment. The Patch test was given March 15, 1946 to forty-four pupils. These tests are for the purpose of finding children who may be presenting early symptoms and signs of tuber- culosis. Should there be a positive reaction to the test, it should be followed by a chest X-ray in order that prompt treatment may be prescribed. We are to give the Patch test again in January to those who were not in school to take it last year. All the Dunbarton school children are enjoying a hot noon day lunch this year.

EDITH G. WALKER, School Nurse.
