record year The 1964 forest fire season surpassed the the second successive of 1963 in both length and severity. For of more than ten year, we experienced a rainfall deficiency conditions, to- inches and the compounding of such drought characterized gether with the many days of strong, dry winds, the past half cen- 1964 as one of the most hazardous years in weeks longer than tury. Although our fire season was three slight increase that of 1963, the number of fires showed only a and more remarkable was the fact that the area burned drop- detec- ped from 2280 acres in 1963 to 900 acres in 1964. Early disasters from tion and rapid response kept many potential fire the men in becoming reality. We all owe a debt of gratitude to our fires so ef- this community who responded and fought economy — ficiently.

48 PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE'S REPORT

The following is a report of the activities conducted in the town of Canaan by the N. H. Division of Public Health, Public Health Nursing, for the year 1964:

The following immunizations were given:

Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine, Type I 88; Type HI 78; Type II 53. Diptheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough vaccine children

(under 5 years of age) series 16 boosters 21. Diptheria and Tetanus (children 5-18 years of age) series

23 boosters 6. Smallpox vaccinations new 22 revaccinations 2. Tetanus (18 to adults) series and boosters 3 Immunization Clinics were held at the schools on the following dates: 4/3 and 5/15 serviced by the school physicians.

Immunizations given:

Diptheria and Tetanus series — 5-15 years 22 boosters 49 Tetanus (high school age) series and boosters 308

Many other children attended clinics at Warren and Leb- anon to complete immunizations that they had missed at Ca- naan clinics. Given at these clinics to Canaan children:

Sabin Oral Polio Vaccine Type 1-5, Type III— 2, T^^pe II —15

Diptheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough Series 12 Boosters 8

Diptheria and Tetanus boosters — 4

Smallpox Vaccinations — 5 Tetanus Toxoid — 10

Two other children were given psychological testing.

49 In September a Sterneedle Tuberculin Testing Program was carried out in the Grade School and at Mascoma Regional School on special grades.

Atteandance Canaan Grade 92 reactors to the test 4

Mascoma Regional 123 reactors to the test 4

The tests weer offered to students and teachers and a large percent took advantage. Chest x-rays were recommended for

all tuberculin reactors and family contacts were recommended to be tested or x-rayed. All gave good cooperation. All new

reactors to the test were advised to follow with x-rays for three years.

Due to the large number of children due for new and return x-rays, the N. H. Tuberculosis aand Health Associa-

tion, cooperating with the N. H. Division of Public Health and Mascoma Regional School, Department conducted a Chest

x-ray Clinic on Oct. 5 at Mascoma Regional School. This helped a great deal, as in previous years the children had been requested to attend Lebanon Chest x-ray. This involved transportation and more loss of school time for the student. A total of 82 Chest x-rays were taken on student reactors, con-

tacts, and previous followed cases. The teachers also took advantage of an annual x-ray.

A report was sent to all persons having chest x-rays. A

few adults took advantage of the Mobil x-ray Unit when it was in Hanover the last of September. Other adults attended the

Chest x-ray at Lebanon on the P. M. of Oct. 5.

In June 10th-25th of 1964 a Dental Fuuorine Program was held at the American Legion Home for children 3-6 years of age. This clinic was sponsored by the Mascoma Regional Schools P .T. A. The organization, transportation and furnish- ing clerical assistance at the clinic involves considerable time. The P. T. A. did a very good piece of work. There were 44 children who took advantage of this service. They received

50 dental cleaning and 4 fluorine treatments, and some excellent advice for the care of children's teeth, from Mrs. Marjorie Plaisted, Dental Hygienist, who serviced the clinic. The Pub- lic Health Nurse spent one day at the program interviewing the mothers regarding their children's immunization status and any other problems that she could be of assistance. The program covered children from the Mascoma Region.

. :- Assistance have been given children through the X. H. Sight Conservation Program — eye examinations and glasses Hanover Cripple Children's Clinics, Pediatric fitted ; through

Cardiac Clinic, Laconia and Warren Retarded Clinics ( where psychological testing has been done.)

Home visits have been made on families as necessary. These covered infants, preschools, mothers, adults and com- municable diseases.

My sincerest thanks to Dr. Dinerman and Dr. Brown for their assistance at clinics; to the School Nurse, Mrs. Olson, R. N., for her efficient help; the School personnel at Canaan Grade and Mascoma Regional; the P. T. A. for sponsoring the Fluorine Program, and for the use of the American Legion and Masonic Hall for the programs. My thanks also to the committee with Mrs. Betty Fleetham as chairman, for giving such excellent assistance at the immunization clinics. Last, but not least, my thanks to the Canaan Reporter for the excellent publicity given our programs. I am sure that all who assisted in any way with the program feel that it is a vvorth w^hile service to their community.

Respectfully submitted.
