LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL To The Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Dover- F oxcroft: During the past several months that I have served you as Town Manager, it has been my privilege and pleasure to learn a great deal about the Town, its gov­ ernment, and its people. It has been my endeavor to analyze each depart­ ment and utilize existing facilities, making improve­ ments where deemed advisable under conditions en­ countered. This shall be my policy as long as I am your manager. The excellent advice given by the selectmen, and the fine cooperation of the office staff, Highway crews, and other boards have made my duties very pleasant, and I wish to express my sincere appreciation. Respectfully Transmitted, LAURENCE A. PEABODY- Town Manager 8 ANNUAL REPORT

TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT Police During the course of the year, parking meters were installed for the purpose of controlling parking of cars on our streets, at the time of installation, a day police officer was added to the force. I believe our traffic con­ trol has improved and will improve from year to year. The police officers are to be commended on their fine appearance and attention to duty. Health and Sanitation The Board of Health and the health officer have had several difficult cases during the year, in most parts, these have been solved satisfactorily, in accordance with state laws and existing town ordinances. Through the cooperation of the users, the town dump has im­ proved in appearance and access for the public during the year, but the rodent menace still exists. The public health nurse has been very active and progressed very favorably with the established health program. The hospital has been very well managed and shows a fine financial standing. The need of additional room still exists. Welfare A comparison of figures would indicate that our to­ tal charity cost was about $5,000.00 less this year than last, some of this comes about by the fact that board and care of children is now paid by the state. The town welfare cases cost about the same as last year, with a small drop in those serviced by this town for the state and other towns, making this apparent de­ crease. All indications point to an increase in welfare for the year 1949. Highways The year 1948 has been very favorable insofar as maintenance of highways is concerned. We have been able to give adequate service and still not have any serious overdrafts. The unimproved road money was spent on the East TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 9

Dover road (Essex Street extension), and application of gravel and ditching of about one-half mile was com­ pleted. The State Aid money was spent to complete the East Dover road to Sebec and the balance was spent on Park Street extension. One bridge was rebuilt and many others planked and repaired, culverts were installed and repaired, as far as funds were available. Additional salt was purchased for the winter of 1948-49 with the aim to give the traveling public safe ice free roads. Some sidewalk was built on East Main Street, North Street and Lincoln Street. Finances The financial picture has improved during the year, at year’s end, all current bills have been paid and an adequate cash balance to cany through the first part of 1949. Respectfully submitted, LAURENCE A. PEABODY, Town Manager

CRC AUDITOR’S REPORT

February 18,1949. Board of Selectmen, Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Gentlemen: In accordance with your request, we have audited the general and trust fund accounting records of the Town of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, for the year ending January 31, 1949; have examined records of the town clerk af­ fecting accounting procedure and the administration of the town. We did not perform a detailed audit. Our examination was made in accordance with generally ac­ cepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We herewith present our report, based upon our ex­ amination, together with the following exhibits: Exhibit A Comparative General Fund Balance Sheet as at January 31, 1949, and February 1. 1948. Exhibit B Comparative Trust Fund Balance Sheet as at January 21, 1949, and February 1, 1948. Exhibit C Analysis of 1948 Taxes for the Year End­ ed January 31, 1949. Exhibit D Statement of Transactions in Depart­ mental Accounts for the Year Ended January 31, 1949. Exhibit E Analysis of Change in Deficit to Avail­ able Surplus in Resources for the Year Ended January 31, 1949. SCOPE OF AUDIT Cash on deposit, in the general and hospital funds, has been reconciled with certificate furnished by The Merrill Trust Company. Funds in the town office of $100.00, and in the school superintendent’s office of $25.00 was determined by count of cash and paid vouchers; $35.00 recorded as held by the Mayo Memorial Hospital was not verified. Cash on deposit, in the parking meter account, was reconciled with confirmation furnished by The Mer­ rill Trust Company; undeposited cash was determined by actual count. The equipment account, placed on time TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 11 deposit, has been verified by certificate furnished by the depository bank. All cash recorded as received and dis­ bursed has been reconciled to the date of our examina­ tion. Accounts receivable have been determined from ex­ amination of departmental and other transactions of the current year, and further included unsettled balances of prior years. A reserve for a possible loss in accounts outstanding for more than one year, is believed to be adequate. The tax assessment for 1948 has been proved and compared with the collector’s commitment; detailed cir­ cularization of outstanding balances has not been made, but test check is in process. Outstanding balances for the years 1938 to 1944 inclusive, were charged off. A reserve for further loss that may be incurred is believed to be adequate. Excise tax receipts numbered 16,899 to 18,136 inclusive for 1948 and numbered 12,001 to 12,265 inclusive for 1949, were added and the total found to be in reconciliation with the receipts issued by the treas­ urer; of the total collection, $798.58, has been paid to the Water District, and the balance of $11,290.49, has been credited to the available surplus in resources. Tax liens for 1947 were examined; costs and interest to the date of recording forms a part of the reconciled ledger balances for all years. All tax liens, on which the period for redemption has expired, have been consoli­ dated, together with subsequent unmatured liens and tax assessments pertaining to the same property, to form an account for tax acquired town property. This account was not set up until the close of the year, there­ fore, no sales have been recorded. All tax liens, tax deeds and sheriff’s deeds considered unenforceable, have been charged to the uncollectible reserve. The town owned real estate combines the transactions of the current and prior years pertaining to the former Bourgoyne property, including the notes receivable se­ cured by mortgage deed. This account retains the iden­ tity of the current expenditures for the purpose of mak­ ing the property more marketable, as it is intended to be sold, and not to be considered a capital account. Pauper claims pending are for supplies furnished for the benefit of Maud Warren. At the close of the year . her place of settlement, if any, had not been definitely acknowledged. 12 ANNUAL REPORT

Accounts payable have been determined by examina­ tion of departmental and other transactions. Amounts withheld for federal income tax had been placed on war­ rant for payment. Records of amount withheld for Maine Employees’ Retirement were believed to reflect the true liability. Due to delay in receipt of the invoice, charges for aid to dependent children for the three months period ended December 31, 1948, were unpaid. Pauper charges pending were not included in accounts payable because charges for certain items, which were furnished by the City of Belfast as supplemental aid to dependent children, may be adjusted. The amount due to trust funds is the ministerial and school fund used by the town. During the year $2,000.00 of the serial bond issue for bridge construction have been unretired; the cancelled bonds have been viewed by us and the interest require­ ments reconciled with the payments. Reserves have been set up for the parking meters, for equipment rental apparently within the meaning of Article 19, as voted at the 1948 annual town meeting, and for the Mayo Memorial Hospital cash intermingled with the general checking account. Continuing appropriations are for educational pur­ poses, and for the cemetery tomb repairs considered to be a specific project. Trust fund resources have been compared with re­ ports furnished by The Merrill Trust Company in its capacity as agency trustee, verified by certificates fur­ nished by the depository banks for all amounts on time deposit and the cash in a segregated checking account reconciled with a certificate furnished by The Merrill Trust Company. Trust fund balances, consisting of expendable income and principal, were reconciled with the transactions in each individual trusteeship. New funds received during the year were the Eugene S. Favor fund for the benefit of the Thompson Free Library and the Ellen M. A. John­ son fund for the benefit of the Mayo Memorial Hospital. Not all income for the benefit of the library was received in, and disbursed from, the town funds; a part was re­ ported by the agency trustee as transmitted directly to the treasurer of the library. TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 13

iMAYO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL We did not audit the accounts of the Mayo Memorial Hospital other than as reflected by the departmental transactions. The hospital account, therefore, reflects solely the cash now a part of the general checking ac­ count with a corresponding reserve. It was observed that there was disbursed from the checking account the sum of $3,500.00, which was traced to a time deposit, in the name of the hospital, but not in the name of the town. This bank account reflects deposits for the years 1941 and 1942 and at the date of our examination, in­ cluding the deposit previously stated and the accrued interest, totals $7,329.41. The purpose of this segrega­ tion or records of this special account were not disclosed on reports made available to us. COMMENTS We did not make a detailed audit of all transactions, we did however, test check invoices in support of war­ rants issued for expenditures. We completely footed cash receipt and disbursement records in the cash ac­ count, and compared the results with the treasurer’s records. We verified the appropriation levies together with all other records of the town clerk pertaining to administration and accounting procedure. The overdraft for snow removal was attributed in part, to weather conditions that although somewhat fa­ vorable to a contractor for plowing, were not favorable where the cost of sanding is assumed by the town. The state’s share in the cost was accounted for according to cash received, and no credit was taken for accruals as had been a customary practice; the former deferred charge of $933.08 was thereby eliminated. Either meth­ od is considered proper but the cash basis is in much more general use. For the past year, therefore, a large share of the overdraft was due to the change in method of accounting. The minor overdraft in state aid construction, could by request of the town, but not otherwise, be considered as chargeable to, and in part recovered from, future joint funds; although recorded as a lapsed balance, it could properly be recorded as continuing. According to records furnished by the State Highway • Commission, the only other highway allotment available during the year was in the town road improvement fund. 14 ANNUAL REPORT

Overdraft in this account is inevitable because the town is obligated for local material used. A deficit in general fund resources of $10,000.60 as at February 1, 1948, has changed to an available surplus in resources of $8,799.29 as at year end closing, a gain of $18,799.89. This favorable change is believed due to a careful appraisal of requirements and strict control of expenditures where possible, the operating accounts re­ flecting an unexpended balance of $77.86. The excise taxes were unappropriated and therefore contributed very substantially to the gain. The cash position has changed from being less than the obligated continuing appropriation to a modest surplus. In appraisal of the present cash on hand, however, the extent of the encum­ brance for continuing appropriations should be fully considered. CERTIFICATE Based upon our examination, and subject to the fore­ going, we hereby certify that, in our opinion, the accom­ panying comparative balance sheet, statement of trans­ actions in departmental accounts, and analysis of change in surplus properly present the financial condition of the town as of January 31,1949, and the results of its opera­ tions for the year then ended, in conformity with gen­ erally accepted principles of municipal accounting.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN A total of 17,429 books and periodicals were circu­ lated by the Library from February 1, 1948 to Febru­ ary 1, 1949. Of these, 12,518 were fiction and the re­ maining 4,911 non-fiction and periodicals. The Library has added 381 volumes this year, of which 27 were gifts. Of the books purchased, 226 were fiction— 140 juveniles and 86 adult: 103 were non-fiction, including a set of 30 Encyclopedia Americana. Twenty-five Maine books were purchased. A few slight changes have been made in the period­ icals, a few of the less popular having been replaced by more widely read types. At present we subscribe to 44 periodicals and 9 newspapers, of which 8 are dailies. Gift books have been received from Miss Isabel Buck, Mary Linn, Marie Conradson, Lyman K. Lee, Doubleday and Book-of-the-Month Club. Since November a story hour has been conducted Saturday forenoons for the children of the Sub-pri­ mary through the Third Grade. Mrs. Arnold Gellerson has charge of the story hour and has been assisted by Mrs. Lewis Roberts and Mrs. Virgil Warren. Several of the children have won Library buttons for reading ten books. Much interest has been shown by the chil­ dren in both the story hour and the books at their dis­ posal. In October the Library celebrated its fiftieth anni­ versary with a tea in the library rooms. Mrs. Victor Warren and Mrs. Eliza Waterman poured. Booklets on the history of the Library were distributed at that time. These may still be obtained at the librarian’s desk. ANNIE F.

New teachers in this system beginning- their work in September, 1948, were Dorothy Tourtilotte, North Street, Sub-primary; Georgianna Crockett, Grade 6, Grammar School building; and Hazel Parker, Grade 7, Grammar School. Other teachers in the system in new positions include Ola Blood, Principal and Second Grade, North Street; Martha Green, First Grade, North Street; Dorothy Clark, First Grade, North Street; Doris Hathorn, Second Grade, Pleasant Street; and Harnett Ladd, the Dean of Girls, Sixth Grade, Grammar School building. I am pleased to report that the teachers are doing very good work in the schools. Much credit is due the teachers for their interest in their work which is demonstrated by their desire to improve themselves professionally. During the past two-year period nearly all teachers have attended summer school sessions or extension courses. The enrollment in the school is increasing yearly by approximately thirty pupils. As a pre-school census indicated last year, we can expect to add an extra teacher and classroom to the school system each year for several years. The problem in the future will be the extra room. This past year we utilized the last available classroom in the village school buildings. The only remaining room now available for use is an extra room in the East Dover building. To utilize this room will mean transporting a division of some grade to this school.

Conveyance At the beginning of school in September much jus­ tifiable criticism was directed at the School Depart­ ment by parents on some bus routes because of inade­ quate transportation facilities. Overloaded panel TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 79

trucks were being used on the Dover South Mills and East Dover runs. After a careful study of the trans­ portation problem, the most satisfactory solution seemed to be to contract with Mr. Amos Rowell to take over and furnish adequate school buses to do the job. A contract was entered into at a price of $9,000 for the first year. The contract is to be renegotiated at the end of each year. Mr. Rowell placed a new Reo 60 passenger bus on the Dexter road and Dover South Mills run, the old Chevrolet 48 passenger bus on the South and East Dover run, and Mrs. Bearce’s panel truck on the North Street School run. This present -arrangement is proving very satisfactory with the exception of one or two instances where the parent still persists in asking for transportation from the dooryard to the school. There are a large number of the approximately 200 bus pupils that are required to walk varying distances (not more than .7 miles) to meet the bus. Seven waiting room shelters were placed along the bus routes at points where pupils meet the bus.

Repairs During the past year, the repair program was at a minimum with the exception of the heating plant in the North Street building. It was discovered that the boiler in this heating plant had1 been improperly in­ stalled. Consequently the whole plant was dismantled and reassembled in proper order. As a result the pres­ ent heating plant seems to be adequate to, heat the building properly and at an apparent saving in the amount of coal consumed. However, as this major re­ pair job was not anticipated previous to the making up of last year’s budget, an overdraft appears in the re­ pair account as of February 1, 1949. If, at the town meeting this year, the people vote to go forward with plans for a new building, an appropriation of $1,500 will get us by for repairs. On the contrary, a vote to continue the use of the present building, we would need to institute a major repair program.

Insurance The amount of insurance on all school property was 80 ANNUAL REPORT increased during the past year. The increase in the- amounts of the premiums on this insurance resulted, in an overdraft of $70 in the insurance account. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to all for their cooperation during the past year.

Budget The following budget is submitted for your approv­ al for the municipal year 1949-50. Common Schools $47,930.40 Repairs and Equipment (1) 1,500.00 (2) 6,000.00 General Administration 3,000.00 Insurance 1,000.00 School Physician 250.00 Interest on School Land Fund 156.14 Secondary Tuition (State Subsidy $6,700) 30,532.83 Respectfully submitted, HAROLD E.

Janitor Several changes in personnel occurred with the in­ ception of the 1948-49 school year which further indi­ cates that we are confronted with the unstable educa­ tional problems that encompass both the state and the nation. In July, Mrs. Madelyn C. Betts resigned after serv­ ing as Secretary to the Principal for the past seven­ teen years. This position has been ably filled by Miss Grace M. Chase. In addition to the above change, Miss Leah Brown, Miss Norma Hoyle and Mr. Munroe Campbell are new to the 1948-49 staff. The Buildings The enrollment this year is slightly above that of last year and future classes indicate that we may ex­ pect still greater increases in our total enrollment. I f we are to educate all of the pupils who wish to grad­ uate from from our secondary school, we will be hard- pressed to' accommodate them with our present hous­ ing conditions. During the summer months, extensive repairs were made to the portico of the building and the attic was thoroughly cleaned and painted. Our janitor, Harold Campbell, has kept the building spotlessly clean and in first class condition. In our farm-shop, new equipment has been added,, which greatly implements this important phase of our program. Two new metal lathes have been added and two drill presses. The School Program One major change has been added to our curriculum this year in the form of a driver education course. Cognizant of the importance of safety education and the need for some form of organized education in I

TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 33

driving for teen-aged youth, we have included this course in the freshman year. The main objectives are not merely to teach pupils how to drive, but to teach them the laws of the highway, the safety laws oSf the- read and the obligations of the motorist to the general public. The importance of this course cannot be over-em­ phasized when one is confronted with the fact that nearly all teen-agers eventually receive their drivers’ licenses before they are eighteen and that within this same group come better than 60% of the total acci­ dents in the entire nation. This program is made pos­ sible through the joint efforts of Foxcroft Academy, The State Department of Education, the American Automobile Association, and the Dover Motor Com­ pany of Dover-Foxcroft. I should like to thank Mr. J. Eric Love, at this time, for his efforts and generosity in making available to the school the 1949 Chevrolet and various other contributions without which this program could not be offered to our youngsters. We have cooperatively engaged in student activities and student faculty planned programs. In our athletic programs our teams have given a good account of themselves. Our present basketball team has given Foxcroft Academy as fine a season as we have en­ joyed for several years. In the fields of dramatics and debating, the students are achieving excellent results. Our second annual fair sponsored by the student body, was extremely successful. Each student participated in some phase of its operation and the personal con­ tacts made between the students and the community are of inestimable value. Scholastically, Foxcroft Academy continues to op­ erate on a high plane. Six of last years’ graduating class are, at present, enrolled in schools of higher learning. Two are serving in the armed services before entering college. During the year, several parents have requested an explanation of our student operated Blanket Tax, which is imposed upon each student. This tax has been in operation for years and is levied upon each student to help defray the operating costs of the 84 ANNUAL REPORT various activities. It, in itself, does not begin to meet the expenses, but does help, along with the other earned revenues, to run our activities. In return for the four dollars, the student is the winner, as far as direct admissions are concerned. The following break­ down shows what he receives for his Blanket Tax card. Admission to the following: All home football games (5 games this year) @ 60c $3.00 Eight Basketball games @ 60c 4.80 Six to Eight Baseball games 4-80 Reduction to all other activities, games, and publications, plus a reduction to out of town games. The Tax gives everyone the opportunity to partici­ pate in any or all events sponsored by the school. We are attempting to build a well-rounded program of study and play that will prepare our youth for a) useful life in this community. With the help, partici­ pation, and cooperation of the parents and friends, we shall be able to fulfill our task. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the many friends of the Academy, to the teachers, the Trustees, the Joint Committee, the Superintendent of Schools, and especially to the citizens and parents of Dover-Foxcroft for the generous cooperation which has been so freely extended during the past school year. Respectfully submitted, TILLSON D. THOMAS TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 35

Dover-Foxcroft School Building Committee Reports

The town has, through a previous survey, estab­ lished the need for a school building program and at the last town meeting this committee was appointed to act on the following instructions: 1. To obtain a site for a new consolidated elementary school. 2. To obtain plans for the school. With the above it is also necessary to consider and plan for financing such a program. Your committee examined all proposed sites for the school and in June 1948 published a report of our findings and recommen­ dations- That article is included herewith as a part of this report. June 9, 1948: A site off Fairview Avenue abutt­ ing the land owned by the Fair association was recommended by the Dover-Foxcroft school build­ ing committee in a report today, as an “excellent” location for the proposed consolidated elementary school. The report of the committee follows: “Your school building committee wishes to ac­ quaint the townspeople with our views regarding a proper site for the proposed consolidated ele­ mentary school. “We have been considerably hampered by the lack of areas which are both suitable and avail­ able for such a project. “ By this we mean: 1. Suitable from the standpoint of economi­ cal construction and layout of the grounds from a technical angle. 2. Suitable from the viewpoint of the area to be served, both as to traffic hazards 86 ANNUAL REPORT

and nearness to the several sections of town. 3. A school such as this requires quite a large piece of land for presenting an ade­ quate modern program. ‘•The department of education recommends a minimum of 5 acres. “There are very few areas near that size within the town proper unless we were to take over tax­ able buildings for removal. Your committee does not consider such a move would be in the best in­ terests of the people. "The committee is of the opinion that the land already owned by the town off Fairview Avenue abutting the site owned by the Fair association would make an excellent site for several reasons- “ We are well aware that a great many of you may not at first favor this location, however, we are convinced that once you have examined the site and have endeavored to visualize the advan­ tages which we believe will accrue if the school should be constructed there, you will, we feel sure, agree that the proposal has a great many good points to recommend it. "This land area comprising some 8 acres or more already owned by the town lies off Fairview Avenue directly in back of the homes of Edgar E. Lary, Maurice Pearl, Clifford Pratt, up to the ball field which the town also owns. “ We believe this land could be easily made to suit our needs; and it has the commendable point of being already owned by the town. “ This area could furnish all the land that the town could ever expect to use for school facilities in the future. “ This spot almost seems like the hub of a wheel for servicing children from all sections of town. There would be four different approaches over TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 8 streets which are not heavily traveled, thereby eliminating much of the traffic hazard of having children traveling through the main streets. ‘'Placing the school there might well open up a large area for home development thereby increas­ ing taxable property for the town. ‘‘Using this land would eliminate the possibility of having to take over any homes in order to find suitable space. Such a procedure would be costly and in view of present shortages of homes very undesirable.

“The problem of transportation for school chil­ dren would be worked out by the school board to cover those sections requiring it. “Some may argue that a school at this location will not be seen and will not tend to attract atten­ tion. This may be true to a certain extent but we wish to make two points clear in this respect. “We believe the location of the school for visual beauty is a very secondary consideration. We be­ lieve that people who are really interested in look­ ing at a school plant will go wherever the school happens to be. “After all we build a school plant for the edu­ cation of our children and not as a beautiful edi­ fice to show off to strangers-

“ Placing the school in this location will in the opinion of your committee serve the community very well. In presenting this proposal your com­ mittee has been principally concerned with ob­ taining a suitable site from the standpoint of the children to be served and the most economical area obtainable for development. “We hope you will take time to examine this site with an open mind and feel free to discuss the problem with any of the committee members.

Rozilla Roberts, Harold Hayes, Harold Carson, Margaret Dow.” You will note that we invited open discussion with the committee regarding the proposed site. None seemed to develop and so your committee assumes that the Fairview Avenue site is acceptable and has pro­ ceeded on that basis. For several weeks at a critical period of our delib­ erations, we were delayed to consider propositions rel­ ative to the secondary school problem presented by Foxcroft Academy, which we felt should, in the public interest, be thoroughly examined. These proposals were made and later withdrawn by the Trustees, after we had accepted them, whereupon we again confined our thinking to our original problem of planning for the elementary schools. WE DO NOT PROPOSE TO RECOMMEND ANY NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM, OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM WHICH WILL NOT BE A REASONABLY PERMANENT SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS, NOR TO OBLIGATE THE TOWN BEYOND ITS REASONABLE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY. The committee has obtained tentative plans for a building but have not as yet completed the layout of this building to our satisfaction. We are not able at this time to definitely report the cost of such a build­ ing as will fill the needs of the town. In the interests of economy, we did not feel that complete detailed plans with specifications and costs were necessary un­ til the townspeople indicated they were ready to in­ struct us to proceed further. We have travelled to several towns to inspect new buildings now being built or already in use and have obtained much information relative to construction; problems- We have studied recently place bids on new construction and other related aspects of our problem. Your committee has initiated enabling legislation with the State Legislature for the formation of a school district as a vehicle for financing such a pro- TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 89 gram. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED BY ANY­ ONE TO INDICATE THAT THIS COMMITTEE IS ENDEAVORING TO FORCE ANYTHING UPON THE TOWN. Your committee has thus acted in your behalf to provide a means to finance this proposed construction program. It was necessary to file this act before Feb. 9, 1949 for action by this session of Legis­ lature which does not meet again for 2 years. At the proper time, indicated by the Legislature, it shall be referred to the town for ratification. This cannot take place until 90 days after the closing of the Legislature. In conclusion, your committee submits the following- suggestions and recommendations: That your committee be continued or another ap­ pointed to succeed it, to further investigate the prob­ lems until such time as it can produce definite plans for a building, can definitely ascertain the cost there­ of, and can report to the town whether it seems feas­ ible to undertake actual financing and construction. That the unexpended balance of the moneys already appropriated for its use be reappropriated for expenses of the committee or its successors. That this report and the recommendations of your committee be carefully examined by all citizens and that any action you may take relative to this report be based on the long term good for the community as a whole. Sincerely your Building Committee: W. A. Richard­ son, chairman; A. T. Gellerson, H. T. Gerrish, Marion Van Aken, George W. Warren, Rozilla Roberts, Harold M. Hayes, Plarold Carson, Margaret Dow. THESE ARE PROBLEMS FOR YOU TO CON­ SIDER AND DECIDE. THE NEED IS STILL DEFI­ NITELY WITH US, BUT THE TIME ELEMENT HAS SHORTENED BY ONE YEAR. THE SCHOOL PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS TO COME SHALL BE LARGELY DETERMINED BY YOUR CONSID­ ERED ACTION BASED ON THIS REPORT. DO ANNUAL REPORT

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR To Mr. Harold Carson, Superintendent of Schools: I hereby submit my annual report as Music Super­ visor of the Dover-Foxcroft schools. The usual in­ struction in vocal and instrumental music and music appreciation continues as in the past. Additional in­ struction in instrumental playing during six weeks of the summer vacation helped to improve both the Grammar School and Academy orchestras. These classes were held in the North Street school. The total attendance was ninety and greater progress was noted than during regular school sessions. Preparation for instrumental playing begins in the Third grade with, the playing of song flutes and this year was continued in the Fourth grade. The Grammar School orchestra played for gradua­ tion for the first time last June and again for a Christ­ mas assembly. Some of the members also played at the County Festival in the spring. This group num­ bers fourteen at present, with fifteen others taking lessons, nine of whom are violin students. The Academy orchestra has played at numerous- school affairs and in two music festivals, the County at Greenville and the State at Dexter, being especially commended for improvement during the year. This- orchestra has now grown to a membership of twenty- three. Most of the players are also in the band under the direction of Mr. Race and played in the parades on Memorial Day and Armistice Day and for football games. In the vocal department, the Grammar School has a Glee club under the direction of Miss Georgianna Crockett who also helped train a group of Sixth graders for a special Christmas program. In the Eighth grade the boys are doing especially well in the bass parts. At the Academy a new vocal organization, the Double Quartet, is proving popular for public pro­ grams. The largest organization is the Girls’ Glee Club which was recommended for First Division at the* State Festival. All the groups are planning to take TOWN OF DOVER-FOXCROFT 91 part in the County Festival to be held in Dover-Fox- croft this year, and in the State Festival at Waterville. The William R. Chapman Music Club sponsored a program of instrumental and vocal music performed by students from the Sixth grade up through the Academy. A collection for the benefit of the Music De­ partment was received. This year it is planned to hold the program in a larger hall to accommodate all the parents and friends interested in coming. In the field of music appreciation teachers are being urged to do more with the study of the opera. At the Grammar school six operas have been covered and ac­ tivities correlated with other subjects. These activi­ ties included telling the story, listening to records, singing the more simple songs with special words, drawing and painting characters and scenes, making miniature stages, miniature movies, projector slides and use of same on full sized screen, acting the story, studying costumes, opera stars, opera houses, radio production and rewriting the story in modern fashion. At present, a study of the lives and music of famous composers is being made, introducing incidentally a history of music and its development. The concerts given by the Bangor Symphony Or­ chestra afford actual demonstrations of both music and the playing of the various instruments. Thirty- three students attended the last concert. With the continued help and cooperation of the teachers and the School Board the music program as given in our schools will continue to benefit the stu­ dents. The fact that music is a “necessity for sound health in mind and body and spirit” is being realized more and more each year. Respectfully submitted, CONSTANCE DAY 92 ANNUAL REPORT

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN To Harold E. Carson, Supt. of Schools: I present herewith my report as School Physician of the Dover-Foxcroft Schools. In September, and again after the Christmas recess, the school nurse and myself examined all children for communicable diseases. Except for an epidemic of measles in the subprimary grades last fall, contagious diseases have been minimal. At the beginning of the school year, more complete physical examinations of the students were made than last year, by virtue of examining only alternate grades. In this way, each student is more thoroughly checked every other year instead of a cursory exami­ nation each year. Immunizations for diphtheria, whooping cough, and small pox were offered to all stu­ dents last spring, and these will again be available nart spring.

With the ever-increasing student lead on our schools and the resultant crowding of classrooms, it behooves all of us— parents, teachers, and staff— to be on guard against communicable diseases. Strict observance of the “ five-day absence” health slip rule and prompt at­ tention by the family physician can do much in this regard. May I express my appreciation to the School Board .... to Mrs. Nellie Gibbons, R.N...... to all the teachers, without whose help no health program can be effective .... and to you, for the assistance given me this past year.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 1948 “Public Health Nursing includes all nursing service organized by a community, or an agency, to assist in carrying out any or all phases of the public health program.” Because Dover-Foxcroft has a nurse employed by another agency to do school and tuberculosis work, your Generalized Public Health Nurse supplements these services by giving health supervision and guid­ ance in maternal and child health, and communicable diseases including the venereal diseases. To carry out these services, home visits are made to expectant mothers, infants, preschool and handi­ capped children, to assist parents in securing medical and dental supervision; to assist her in planning for the care of herself and baby during post-partum per­ iod ; to assist her to develop a better understanding of the preschool and their need for protection and secur­ ity ; and to suggest constructive ways of guidance. Free clinic services offered in the Public Health Nursing Program consist of Crippled Children, Ped­ iatric, Cardiac and Mental Hygiene Clinics. They offer diagnostic and consultant services where specialists are in attendance. These clinics are held in Bangor and children are referred by the family physician and your Public Health Nurse. Clinic recommendations are sent back to the family doctor. The Junior Cosmopolitan Club sponsored four Child Health Conferences under the chairmanship of Mrs. Harold Preble. There were 52 children who received complete physical examinations by L. J. Stitham, M.D., and F. W. Bradbury, M.D. The town furnished biologicals for innoculations. There were 25 children vaccinated against smallpox, 29 immunized against diphtheria, 21 against whooping cough and 17 against tetanus. Miss Mary Routwell, Dental Hygienist, gave all children a mouth examination and offered recom­ mendations on mouth care. Miss Helen Noyes, Home Demonstration Agent, held a private conference with 94 ANNUAL REPORT each mother, discussed the children’s diet and offered suggestions on nutritional problems. The function of the conferences is to keep the well child well and pro­ mote his best possible state of health. It is hoped that in the coming year more infants and all children who will enter school for the first time will take advantage of the Child Health Conferences. Records made at the conferences of children entering school were sent to the school nurse for reference. One definite need for all communities is the organi­ zation of a Local Health Council to help in giving more adequate public health service to the community. The Council is a representative group whose purpose is to survey the health needs of the community and to sug>- gest health programs to meet those needs. Nurses can do little without community backing. Each year the Health Councils of District IV meet in Bangor to re­ port on their activities and to motivate other com­ munities in organizing. Every community should send an interested representative to learn how other towns are solving their health problems. Anyone interested in this Field Day may contact the District Health Of­ fice, Dover-Foxcroft, for information. With combined efforts, much can be accomplished. Respectfully submitted, RUTH M. CHOATE, R. N. Public Health Nurse I
