Public Welfare today is on the move in the United States. We are moving from relief to rehabilitation, from dependency to self-support. It is considered the responsibility of everyone, to himself, his family and to the community to realize what potentials he has for making his own way. Fed- eral plans are for carrying on the tremendous task of studying each case as to its needs, classifying these needs and develop- ing plans to meet these, such as restoring families and in- dividuals to self-support, strengthening family life, and to help the aged and disabled to take care of themselves. Last year a concentrated effort was instituted to improve the social services to strengthen family life in our Aid To Families With Dependent Children cases, and each family was to be visited at least once per month, and those classified _ as having serious problems - visits once per week. A com- plete study was made and recorded in case records as to home settings, homemaking, parental role, physical or mental health, school achievement and employment potential, social function- ing, rehabilitation potential and support status. This put a tremendous burden on the department for the first six months of this year until the frequency of the required visits was changed back to one call in every three months. During this period our regular semi-yearly calls, plus emergency calls, had to be carried in other categories of assistance. The changed emphasis in public welfare as expressed by the Department of Health. Education and Welfare of financial and medical assistance to self care and rehabilitation makes it necessary now to prepare case workers with new know-how in their case work methods and skills. 2. Many changes in the administration of welfare have taken place this year causing increases in the over-all cost to the town : 1. September 1st the cost of living index was increased by 5.1% from 31.9% to 36% which increased costs in most cases. 2. Leisure time activities for Old Age Assistance re- 78 cipients was increased from $4.00 to $5.00 on Octo- ber 1st 3. There was an increase in exemptions of single chil- dren for support of their parents: Those living in home from $2450 to $2700 and those living out of the home from $2700 to $2950. Exemptions of married children were increased last year from $3750 to $4750. These figures are based on net income. 4. As of January 1, 1964 the cost of hospitalization has gone up 10.6%. OTHER CHANGES: A. Elimination of lien requirement on Disability As- sistance. The only category of assistance that still requires a- lien be taken on property is Old Age Assistance. B. Ete As- sancetand Geion of legal eal Relief. settlement means that we will no longer have to pay O.A.A. or G. R. re- cipients living in other towns whose settlement is Yarmouth, and conversely we cannot bill other towns. . Previously all unsettled cases in O.A.A. were paid for by the Federal and State share, now all cases will be reimbursed 70% by the State af- ter Federal share, leaving town share 30%. In General Relief the state will now participate by 20% on all cases, the town share being 80%. - C. The connotation of Aid to Dependent Children (A.D.C.) was changed by the Department of Health. Education and Welfare to Aid For Fami- lies With Dependent Children (A.F.D.C.) 3. BREAKDOWN OF WELFARE COSTS The case load of assistance increased from a monthly average of 111 cases in 1962 to an average of 130 in 1983. This increase plus the additional amounts of money allowed on recipients budgets by the State, caused the total welfare cost, including administration, to rise from $192,265.12 in 1562 to $227,260.87 in 1963, an increase of $34,995.75. The town's share for categorical assistance was $43,349.67 and for administration expenditures $4,263.03, making the total town share $47,612.70. This is 20.9% of the total welfare expendi- tures of $227,260.87 for the year 1963. Following is a break- down of cases, expenditures and reimbursements by categories. OLD AGE ASSISTANCE : The average case load increased from 58 in 1962 to 62 in 79 1963. This plus the added benefits, see above, increased the cost in this category from $61,241.79 in 1962 to $66,025.05, up $4,783.26.

Present number of services - Services installed Services vacant New services not turned on Amount of one inch pipe installed (feet) Amount of two inch pipe installed (feet) C. 4574 309 97 •--70 21,524 all82ons of water pumped 383 Stock on hand, estimated value 315 $52114.434.43,25 As this report is being written, much of the work con- nected with the expansion program of the department which was authorized by the voters at the last annual town meeting has been completed. A large part of the installation of water mains has been accomplished ; the gravel packed wells are 88 installed and ready for use; the new .pumping stations are substantially completed ; and the large standpipe off Union Street is nearly erected. Bids have been asked to provide pumping station equipment of the new stations. The water main on High Bank Road was completed late in the Summer and has been providing the people on this road with town water and fire protection ever since. The cost of the capital expenditures now under construc- tion onstructtion will be $720.000. This cost has been bonded over a period of fifteen years. Mr. Cash, our able Town Treasurer, effected the sale of the bonds thru the State Street Trust of Boston and at the most favorable interest rate of 2.9%. While the water commissioners generally favored increasing the water rates to finance the cost of this capital outlay, rather than have it reflected in the tax rate, it was indicated at a public hearing conducted by the water commissioners that the general public did not. This was also borne out by an in- formal sampling of public opinion conducted on a person to person basis by the Commissioners. Payment of interest and principal on this most recent bond issue will represent an increase in taxes" of about $2.50 per thousand of valuation and will be reflected in the 1964 tax rate. A fifty percent increase in the water rates now charged would have provided enough additional revenue to meet the annual interest and principal payments without any increase in the tax rate. Our maintenance and operation budget for 1964 is up about 15% over 1963 and is caused by our need for additional sums of money to provide steprate increases .for our em- ployees, to cover increased operational expense connected with the start up of our three new pumping stations, and to provide for price increases in all categories of materials that we use. One half of the total increase is due to the cost of major repairs needed on the Strawberry Lane elevated tank which is thirty-three years old and in dire need of costly re- pair work. - In the warrant for the annual town meeting, the Board of Water Commissioners will ask the people to provide $10,- 000.00 10;000.00 for a much needed storage building at the main pump- ing station on Union Street. The need for this building was recognized by the Finance Committee in previous years, and because the need increases with each passing year, we hope - for a favorable recommendation from the committee this year. As was noted in previous Water Department reports to the people, there is a very real need to acquire three parcels 89 of land in various parts of town for the purpose of future well - fields. Postponement of the acquisition of these parcels of land can only result in increased costs to the Town. How- ever, in view of the financial situation confronting the Town in 1964, the Water Commissioners, after their meeting with the Finance Committee and the Board of Selectmen; --have withdrawn three articles from the warrant for the town meet- ing covering the acquisition of these lands because they be- lieve that such action is in the best public interest. The cost of these land takings was estimated to be $54,000.00. Financially speaking, our requests for 1964 total about $145,000.00. This represents an increase of some $17,000 over the amount of $128,000.00 voted by the people for the use of the Water Department in 1963. Water Department revenue in 1963 was $15.000.00 greater than 1962. The net increase in cost to the taxpayers for the department for 1964, excluding payments on principal and interest for water de- partment loans is about $2,000.00, or approximately seven cents increase in the tax rate. Debt and interest payments on water department loans will increase from about $75,- 000.00 75,000.00 in 1963 to $145,000.00 in 1964 and will represent nearly $5.00 on the tax rate and will represent a net increase in the tax rate over that of 1963 for this account of about $2.40 per thousand of valuation. At the suggestion of the Finance Com- mittee and in view of the fact that there has been a change in the membership of the Board, the Commissioners may re- consider their 1963 decision relative to an increase in water rates to offset the cost of the 1963 Bond Issue. As was noted earlier in this report, a fifty percent increase in water rates over a full year would provide enough additional revenue to meet principal and interest payments on this latest bond issue. With tongue in cheek, the commissioners foresee no major expansion of facilities in the next five years. Our stor- age problem is solved, we feel, for many years. Additional wellfields and pumping stations will be needed and this need will be predicated to a great extent on our rate of growth. The commissioners reserve the right to seek funds from the town in the immediate future for acquisition of lands for fu- ture wellfields and extensions of water mains on Town Ways in a manner not detrimental to the tax structure of the Town. A great deal of pressure is being applied on the com- missioners for the extension of water mains into private de- velopments where only well water is now available and along Town Ways scarcely populated. With the cost of our educa- tional and all other municipal services on the increase, the 90 water commissioners realize that their policy in the matter of extensions must be one that will. insure against unreason- -- able demands being made on the tax resources of the Town and its triinhabitants: flysad, our policy on extensions of water mains is as follows : - 1. We favor extension of water mains on Town Ways only, and reserve the right. to reject petitions for ex- tensions on ways where the return on investment is less than 6%. 2. We do not favor the extension of water mains on Pri- vate Ways except where the petitioners pay for the cost of the material. In April of 1963 Mr. Bradford L. Tallman resigned as a water commissioner because of the conflict-of-interest law. We acknowledge, with thanks, the many contributions Mr. Tallman made to the departmentbytheRoger Board of Select- men lect, Jr. of South Yarmouth, was appointed men to fill Mr. Tallman's unexpired term as commissioner. In closing this report, our nis are the ewxtendedtrto the general public for their compliance s which we had to impose during the Summer months of 1963, to all other municipal departments for their excellent coopera- tion, and to the local newspapers for their public service cov- erage of our activities.

Weatherwise we had a good summer. Our swimming. program was the best ever and the American Red Cross com- mended us. Due to an early winter storm, we are faced with a con- siderable amount of shore damage but with your support we shall repair the worst of it. Due to the request of the Board •of Selectmen and the Finance Committee, the Park Board is holding its budget to the approved amount, while continuing to have Yarmouth to enjoy the best park system on Cape Cod. Knowing we are faced with an increase in our Tax Rate we are pleased to do our part in the control of the ever in- creasing cost of operation. Respectfully submitted, Edward A. Johnson, William B. Letteney PARK COMMISSIONERS 93 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH PERSONNEL BOARD The Town of Yarmouth Personel Board began its duties on Sept. 1963 when the Selectmen appointed to act as the Board pursuant to the Laadopted embers the voters at the town meeting of March 1963. The board held hearings ow wages of all town employees and made findings as to wage step-ups or reclassification of employees. Recommendations as to salary scales for elective officers were requested by the Selectmen and a report made by the board. One of the main duties of the board as set forth in the By -Law is to make an annual survey of the wage scale for Yarmouth Town By -Law classes of employees and to report its relative study for similar classes of other towns in the vicinity. This survey has been attempted but not completed due to a lack of time and personel. We are asking for the year 1964 to increase our board to seven members to give us further depth; to more fully complete our duties. The board feels that Yarmouth's salary and wage sche- dule adopted in 1963, are in a favorable competitive position with other towns in this area. Respectfully submitted MATTHEW J. STEELE, Chairman RODERICK E. SMITH, Vice man JONES W. MERSEREAU, SecCh 'y. RICHARD RUDDEN C. GERALD . MURDY: REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR To The Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen:- As entlemen:=As of December 31st, 1963, there has been issued a total of 618 building permits and 456 cesspool permits. During the calendar year I have made approximately 3759 inspections: EUGENE A. HOMER Building Inspector 94 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES Board of Selectmen, January 23, 1964 Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: During the year 1963, I checked 1054 electrical installa- tions in the performance of my duties as Inspector of Wires. In the course of above I travelled approximately 7000 miles. I have spent in excess of 500 hours in my office discussing electrical jobs and problems with contractors and homeown- ers. I am available in my office at the Town Hall every morn- ing, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. to assist anyone who might have any question regarding the installation or modification of wiring. Respectfully submitted, EDMUND FRUEAN, JR. Inspector of Wires REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD 1963 Of the sixty-five plans submitted to the Planning Board during the year 1963, nine subdivisions and forty-eight Ap- proval Not Required plans were signed and approved by the Board. At the Town Meeting in March, 1963 the Town voted to retain the firm of Atwood & Blackwell, Town Planning Con- sultants, to help the Board in developing an overall plan for the Town. This vote appropriated $6,000. from Town funds with the provision that $12,000. of federal funds would be made available. Due to the long session of- the -Congress, funds for the program were not appropriated until very late in 1963 and the formal contract under which Atwood & Blackwell were retained was not received by the Board until January, 1964. The long delay in the receiving of this formal contract hampered the work of Atwood & Blackwell so that the planning studies could not be carried through to the point originally contemplated during the year 1963. Considerable 95 progress was made, however, and an interim report will be made available to the citizens at the 1964 Town Meeting. In order to continue the planning work underway, the Planning Board will request an appropriation from Town funds of $2,000. with the understanding that again this will be supple- mented by a grant of $4,000. from federal funds. During 1963 a situation arose in connection with one subdivision which brought out the desirability of amending a portion of the Town Zoning By -Law dealing with the height of fill. An amendment to the Town Zoning By -Law will be sought at the 1964 Town meeting to overcome this problem. During 1963 the Planning Board was saddened by the loss of John E. Dineen, a member who had been elected in 1963. As an expression of its s;'mpathy and its sense of loss the Board passed the following resolution: That the Planning Board for the Town of Yarmouth deeply regret the passing of its member, John E. Dineen, whose faithful and fruitful participation in its activities contributed greatly to the Board and to the Town as a whole, and That the Board hereby requests that the Chairman express to Mrs. Dineen the sorrow of each member at John's untimely death, and send her a copy of this reso- lution. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT F. CRANE, JR. Chairman, Planning Board REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Jan. 10, 1964 To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. I hereby submit my report for the year 1963. Nineteen roads were taken by the Town in 1963 with 2.8 miles of hot mix laid. Seven old roads of 2.8 miles were re- surfaced and eight roads of 3.7 miles were seal coated. The Highway Department installed forty two new street signs and put in forty eight catch basins. Three quarters of a mile of hotmix . sidewalks were laid. Respectfully submitted, JAMES C. MARSH, Highway Surveyor 96 YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Report for the Year 1963 To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: rt for the year I am happy to submit. the following report 1963: Afternoons Evenings Saturday mornings 14,967 260 6,066 Comparative Circulation 1961 13,497 1962 13,533 1963 14,967 Book Stock ' Additions Fiction Nonfiction Purchase Gift Purchase Gift Total 185 32 142 15 377 172 1 53 1 227 STATISTICS Circulation Periods 5 Open 52 2,603 52 1,610 Total Attendance 4,213 1,056 797 Adult Juvenile Total 360 33 195 16 604 The Trustees accepted with gratitude a generous gift from Mrs. Crittenden Adams—the installation of an amplify- ing sound system with hand microphone and foot stand and four strategically located loud speakers. This addition is es- pecially appreciated by the Friends of the Yarmouth Library, whose monthly meetings are attended by from 55 to 70 mem- bers. embers. Two successful money -raising proects undertaken this year have been reported byisingroup's president, D Maynard, and its Ways and Means Committee, Paul Stueber and John Hull—a card party and a food sale. National Library Week activities were also in charge of a Friends' committee, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ahrens, Mrs. W. G. McRee, and Mrs. Francis Goodell. In addition to the annual Open House and special exhibits, two functions were 97 particularly noteworthy inasmuch as they involved the young people of the village. On Sunday afternoon the Junior Choir of the First Congregational Church sang in a delightful man- ner. - On Wednesday afternoon members of the Saturday morning -story hour group sponsored a silver tea and served refreshments which they had made. The proceeds paid for the return postage and insurance on all films shown during the year.-- - We are pleased to have Mrs. Walter Jalicki with us as a part-time employee. The Wednesday evening borrowers still welcome the coffee which is served each week during the winter months. Plans for the future include the construction -of a stack room. Whatever has been achieved in 1963 has been made pos- sible through the loyalty and faithfulness of the members of the Library's Board of Trustees, the understanding' of the members of the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Com- mittee of the Town, the generosity of the taxpayers and in- dividual donors, and the continuing patronage of the bor- rowers. Respectfully submitted, MARTHA U. WHITE Librarian January 11, 1964 REPORT OF SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION January 24, 1964 The Board of Selectmen - South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 1963 was a particularly exciting year for the South Yar- mouth Library Association. Early in January work started on our new wing. Although our customers suffered along with us it was not long before we had a brand new entrance, a widened hallway into the children's room, a new heating sys- tem for the entire building, new linoleum flooring for the library and the new wing, which contains all the adult non- fiction, the reference collection, back issues of popular maga- zines and seating space for 18 more students. 98 We have solved the very. pressing problem of over -crowd- ing and have been able therefore to expand our services. For example, we are building our files of back magazines - heavily used by our high school people. There is now a book return door for use when the library is closed andwere e rapidly expanding our collection of current college catalogs and career information.

WELCH Secretary -Treasurer REPORT OF PEE -WEE HOCKEY TEAM Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: - — The Pee -Wee hockey team competing in the Kennedy Memorial Pee -Wee Hockey League did not have a very good won and lost record, placing last in a six team league. How- ever, those on . the team are learning the basic fundamentam of hockey and we hope that as these boys pass through the Pee -Wee, Bantam and High School hockey leagues, that not only will their hockey ability increase, but that their sports- manship and competitive spirit will grow and become an im- portant part of each boy's character. The entire $250.00 allotted to this team was spent on ice time. Respectfully submitted WILLIAM EDMUNDS General Manager 102 REPORT OF THE INFORMAL HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY TEAM Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Informal High School Hockey Team enjoyed a good year although they placed third in their league. The increase in the number of boys who tried out for the team over the previous year showed a marked increase of interest in the sport of hockey in the . Dennis -Yarmouth area. The Team played a nine game schedule with Barnstable, Bourne and Falmouth and our goal tender was picked as the best in the league. The entire $350.00 allotted to usfrom the town of Yar- mouth was spent on ice time. We look forward to even a better year in the 1983.1964 season. Respectfully submitted WILLIAM EDMUNDS CLARK POTTER Coaches REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSION This Commission is pleased to report to the Town that another satisfactory year has been completed. It is satis- factory from several viewpoints, first because again the re- ceipts from operation increased. The gross income for 1963 was $101,049.50, approximately $15,000 in excess of that for 1962. Operating expenses. were $55,341.24 making a net profit returned to the Town of $45,70826: Over 16,000 greens fees were paid indicating once more the indirect benefit to the townspeople of this important recreational facility. Member- ships, primarily designed to appeal to the Town's residents, increased to over 450. During the year the golf course was improved by work on the fairways, the planting of additional trees, extension of the sprinkler system and enlargement of the tees and greens. The heavy play, which to date has been handled adequately, is a problem in its effect on the maintenance of the condition 103 of the golf course and the overtaxing of the clubhouse. The Commission gave consideration to these matters but found that any additions to the course or to the clubhouse were financially impossible this year. The success of our golf course rests largely on our em- ployees and we again express our gratitude for their contin- uing interest and devotion. Respectfully submitted, NYE CROWELL, Chairman OSCAR W.

The Board considered 61 appeals and'met, as in the past, on the first and third Thursdays in the month. There was no significant change in the type of matters presented to the Board and the Board was not aware of any pressing problems that should cause our zoning by-laws to be changed. Although the problem of enforcement is not within the jurisdiction of the Board of Appeals, it was noted by the Board that there has been more enforcement of the sign code. This in part accounted for more activity Board of Appeals. before the The Board, however, feels that with this necessary enforcement, the zoning by-laws are being more equitably applied to all property owners affected. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD L.

The town now has trained personnel in this important field of Civil Defense and will in the near future have two fixed monitoring stations set up within the town. Police and Fire Auxiliary units continue with their train- ing and stand ready to do their jobs in time of emergency. My thanks to Chiefs Jason and Whittemore and their assist- ants for their fine cooperation in this phase of the overall pro- gram of civil defense. It is expected that during thecoming year the town will be able to appoint a Deputy Director for Civil Defense. This will give this department the depth that it has lacked for many years. It will also mean that all phases of Civil Defense will carry on should the Director be called elsewhere. Most of all a Deputy Director of Civil Defense will provide the con- tinuity which I feel is very important. As Director I wish to thank all those who have volun- teered their services and who have cooperated in this town's Civil Defense program. - Respectfully Submitted _ ROBERT K.

Need is determined af- ter application and investigation. In 1963 this Department processed 31 cases for the Town and aided 85 persons. These cases are investigated by your Agent and then are also interviewed by a State Investigator for this area assigned by the Commissioner of -Veterans' Ser- vices, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Besides aiding the veterans and their dependents in a financial way, many hours are spent in assisting them with services; such as applying for hospitalization, pension, service - connected compensation, V.A. Income Questionnaire, etc. As your Veterans' Agent for the past five years, I have found the position to be a challenging one. It has been, and always will be, an honor to serve the many deserving veterans and their dependents who truly appreciate the services af- forded to them by such a department.

We are not in competition with any one, or any group, but part of a plan to make a better and prosperous Yarmouth. This. plan, we pray, will be for the best interests of ev- eryone, and not a select group. We, who have been born here, and raised here, perhaps feel more a part of our sur- roundings — our forests with good clean air, of our marshes, of our seascape, of our schools, of our neighbors, than do recent visitors. Professional planners are good and, we be- lieve that we should examine what they have to offer, but we should make our own decisions. A vast amount of work has been done this year. This is the beginning of a broad program that will be of great value for many generations. Much of this work is in the process of development and it appears that a great deal of it will be successfully completed this year. Marshlands must be saved. Contacts have been made with all the owners of the marsh along Parkers River, North of Route 28. Much work is being done on the marshes on the North side of town. We have opposed dredging in Bass River in relation to filling in of a marsh. We helped to pre- vent the filling of a marsh by Lewis Bay. We have received a gift of an acre marsh island in Bass River, and ten acres of marsh on the North side of Town. We have also purchased the herring rights to the stream that leads from Long Pond, South Yarmouth,- into Swan Lake, and will have the stream in tip top shape for this Spring. We are also studying the ponds in relation to rights of way and hope that soon- all the ponds will have some access. We have given much thought and work to a "Green Belt" area. This is not only a place to breathe clean fresh air, etc., but a method to control urban sprawl. We must be able to control our tax rate, or our tax rate will control us. We have purchased a twelve acre piece of land near a beautiful pond. Selectman John G. Sears gave the town a piece of land by beautiful Crab Creek and we bought a small piece in this vicinity. 111 The Boy Scouts have recently received a gift of.140 acres of land. If they should refuse to use it, then it will be given to the Conservation Commission. mentionedAs before, of develop entand we hope that we woill be succerk is in the ssful all its phases.in DAVID BARRY - THOMAS EMBLER RAYMOND SYRJALA (Chairman) ALLEN VERA REPORT OF THE INSPECTION OF GAS DEPARTMENT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen : . I hereby submit the report of the Inspector of Gas and Gas Piping for the year ending December 31, 1963. During the year Walton H. Jenkins of 8 Russo Road, Hyannis Park was appointed Deputy Gas Inspector to cover for the Inspector during days off, vacations ani. during sick leaves. Also during 1963 608 Gas Inspections were completed. The State Gas Regulatory Board, under Chapter 737, Acts of 1960, have made it mandatory that all Inspectors of - Gas be licensed (master) gas installers. The Yarmouth In- spector (#M1439) and the Deputy Inspector (#M1773) have complied with this regulation. A new code of regulations pertaining to the installation of gat.' and gas appliances has also been published by the State Board under this same Act. I would again like to take this opportunity to thank the personnel of The Yarmouth Town Office, The Fire Depart- ment, and the installers of gas working in the town for the wonderful help and cooperation received during the past year. Respectfully Submitted CHARLES A. VAN DUSEN Inspector of Gas and Gas Piping 112 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HISTORIC COMMISSION To the Honorable Board of Selectmen For the Town of Yarmouth - Gentlemen: - Baxter Mill this past year ground" a total of eighty pounds of corn, which was sold to various visitors. From the sale of corn meal and from contributions, the income for the year 1963 was $57.13 which, of course, has been turned over to the Town Treasurer. As usual, the mill did not receive very many visits from Cape Cod residents, and especially from residents of the Town of Yarmouth. We did, however, have a great increase in the number of out of town and out of state visitors. We were hampered somewhat by the fact that we did not have as many volunteer workers as we had the year before. Thanks must be given to Mr. Joseph Cunningham for his fine work in obtaining volunteer workers and for his own fine work. We trust that next year we will see a larger sale of the corn meal and perhaps more visits from residents of Cape Cod. Respectfully submitted, A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY, Chairman REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT To The Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The Department made some twenty road layouts for Town Meeting of which nineteen were accepted and built. The Department worked with the Highway Department in the construction of these accepted roads. To outline briefly what is involved in the construction of the average town road. First grades are designed, then stakes are placed to guide the Highway Equipment operators. After the surface is brought to grade and catch basins have been installed where needed, working closely with the Highway Surveyor and his men, stakes are set for the Paving Machine which lays the pavement. This part of the work is done by 113 Private Contract but both our department and the Highway Surveyor continue to closely supervise and inspect the finish- ing surfaces as they are applied. Again in close cooperation with the Highway Department several serious drainage problems were corrected, notably on Davis Road, Lakefield Rd., West Yarmouth Rd. and Route 28, Mayflower Terrace and Long Pond Drive. In a joint project with the Selectmen, Highway Surveyor and this de- partment a more desirable and safer traffic flow was obtained by the design and installation of divider islands at the inter- section of North Main Street and Highbank Road. The Department continued its other duties which are many and varied, ranging from Property Transfers and As- sessors Map work . to locating lines for Athletic Fields and fences. We wish to thank all department heads and the gen- eral public for cooperation received. Respectfully submitted, JOHN L.

Gentlemen: I hereby submit the following report as Plumbing In- spector for the year ending December 31, 1963. I have inspected 1127 plumbing installations and covered approximately 6762 miles. Three Yarmouth Plumbers• whose livelihood was threat- ened when they were required to have licenses as a result of State regulations governed by the town's population growth, have received their Journeyman Plumber's license. They were among seven Yarmouth plumbers who had been working for years without licenses. Under State laws however, plumbers must have a license to work in towns of more than 5000 population. Yarmouth passed that mark at the 1960 census.

Some of these drills were conducted in the stations and consisted of pre -planning instructions and diagrams of specific property locations considered as diffi- $1,065,190.91 119 cult locations for the placement of responding apparatus due to surroundings or exposures. Others were pre -planned be- cause of the nature of the occupancy; some of the high hazard type or of the life hazard type, each requiring a more spethal- ized operation and apparatus response by the fire department. More attention -is given to pre -planning also because of new hazards to firemen and the public occurring through the use of chemicals, plastics, and gases used today in the manufac- turing of products and materials for the consumer. This makes it necessary to purchase new equiment for use of the department to keep in step with new techniques required to combat fires and emergencies involving today's various new products. With the coming of a new year, I have established effec- tive January 1, 1964, a Bureau of Fire Prevention within the Fire Department. Fire Prevention is a big job in itself cov- ering a large field and had not been completely undertaken by this department before because I did not feel that we were sufficiently prepared. Nov, utilizing the permanent person- nel, we are beginning a concentrated fire prevention program. We have utilized the experience and advise of experts, among them the National Fire Protection Association from which the standards for establishing a Bureau of Fire Prevention are taken, also the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Lieuten- ant Edward Shay of the Massachusetts State Police attached to the Fire Marshal's Office, and others. Our program of fire apparatus replacement included plans to ask for funds to replace a truck this year. However, due to a large increase in the costs of running the Town this year, and feeling the full impact of another undertaking show- ing up this year, and the early forecast of a possible $10.00 increase in the tax rate, I have co-operated with the wishes of the Selectmen to withhold an article asking for a new fire truck this year. I had also planned to ask that a sum of $5,000.00 be raised and held in a stabilization fund for the fire apparatus replacement program which, repeated for two additional years, would result in sufficient funds for the purchase of a replacement truck after Town meeting action in 1966. This article was also withdrawn in an attempt to lessen the burden this year. It now becomes necessary to ask for a new truck and also to start to build the stabilization fund for apparatus replacement at next year's Town meeting. If this is received favorably next year, then the next goal for apparatus replace- ment is for 1968 if we can proceed with our planning without 120 complications because of the age or condition of our apparatus. These under consideration for replacement are 20, 22, and 24 years old this year. An article will appear in the warrant asking for $975.00 tos replace your because thetand boat hasor had harded in 1usage amt times This - necessary during the past nine years and being kept in a heated build- ing and constructed of- wood, dries out at the seams causing it to leak. A survey of the Town by the New England Insurance . Rating Association is to be done during the coming spring. I have asked for this survey because I feel the results will im- prove our rating and lower the insurance to rthee fire within theTO This survey will also serve as a guide epent for planning improvements to receive credits toward an even better rating in the future. The co-operation of the residents of the Town and of nt many Departments of the Town given the fire dep has been greatly appreciated. I especially acknowledge the support and efforts of the officers and men of the fire depart- ment and of the Fire Belles, the ladies auxiliary. Respectfully Submitted, DANA H.

A study of the AGE, GRADE TABLE, as of October 1, 1963, shows that there are now 542 pupils housed in this building. It is my recommendation at this time that new studies should be made concerning school needs. Todate the school population continues to increase each year auguring that additional space will be needed in the not too distant future. I believe that future studies should consider the possibility of a Regional Middle School, encompassing grades six through eight and regional space for our exceptional children, both retarded and emotional. IN-SERVICE TRAINING Changing conditions in the world necessitate constant curriculum improvement. In order to, keep abreast of the newer educational trends most teachers have taken courses on their own time for professional advancement. However, the curriculum pace has quickened to a point where de- pendence on the individual teacher to advance at her own discretion will not suffice. Recent changes taking place in modern mathematics, and modern arithmetic resulted this past year in the starting of an in-service training program for our own teachers. The first such program was initiated this past fall under the direc- tion of Mr. Stanley Daggett, head of the Dennis -Yarmouth 133 Regional High School mathematics department. Teachers from Brewster, Dennis and Yarmouth participated in the pro- gram. - MAINTENANCE ,r 4 Routine maintenance was carried out as necessary in - _ the school buildings. NO SCHOOL SIGNAL The Yarmouth School Committee will close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Parents are urged to exercise their personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their children to school. The No -School report will be given, through the courtesy of the management of WOCB as soon as the station comes on the air on theday in question. EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATES Employment permits may be issued to boys and ,girls between the age of fourteen and sixteen to work only when the schools are not in session. Part time, and full time cer- tificates for boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen are issued at the office of the Regional High School, and the office of the Superintendent of Schools, John Simp- kins School, Bass River. Personal applicaticn must be made by the student, and evidence of date of birth must be pre- sented. CONCLUSION For your information the reports of the Principal, Super- visors. School Doctor and Nurse, as well as statistical records of the past year are herewith included. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the School Com- mittee for its sense of dedication -to the educational needs of our youth, the loyal and cooperative staff for a job well done and the School Building Committee, for its untiring efforts to provide needed classroom space, during the year, 1963.

Kenyon - - - -- - Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: Again with great pleasure I submit my annual report as Principal of the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. The opening of the new \Vest Yarmouth Elementary School on Higgins -Crowell Road at the conclusion of the winter vacation period in February was an eventful occasion for the school year, 1963. The twenty classrooms made avail- able at the new school has allowed a revision of the school program with a substantial reduction in the pupil load per teacher in the first five grades. The West Yarmouth Ele- mentary School now houses the kindergarten, plus three divisions of each grade, one through five; the South Yar- mouth Elementary School is arranged in the same manner but does not have space for a kindergarten. The John Simp- kins School provides the facilities for the upper elementary grades, six through eight. In March a Yarmouth Educational Night was held at the new \Vest Yarmouth Elementary School with the work of all grades and departments displayed for viewing by parents and friends. The pupils and teachers did an outstanding job in showing and explaining to the public the program of the - Yarmouth School Department. This occasion was attended by over a thousand people, evidence of enthusiastic interest which was indeed appreciated by the school personnel. Mr. Gregory Drake, the vice principal; Miss Marguerite Small, the assistant principal; and Mrs. Ellen Gott, the ele- mentary supervisor; have played important parts in the or- ganization of the school program and activities. I wish at this time to acknowledge my indebtedness to them for their assistance, cooperation and advice in formulating -a - progres- sive course of study for the pupils of the Yarmouth schools. The difficult administrative task of the orienting of sev- eral new -teachers to the instruction procedures at Yarmouth was alleviated remarkably by the experienced teachers on the staff, who have on many occasions freely given their time and energy to help in this important phase of school work. I thank them for this assistance. Open House for National Education Week was held from the tenth to the sixteenth of November of this year. A night for each of three elementary schools provided parents 138 with the opportunity to talk briefly with the teachers and to view the work of their own children. The parent and public interest was shown by a large attendance at each school. The kindergarten, under the direction of Mrs. Alice Bald- win, assisted by Mrs. Rita Ormond and Miss Elizabeth Spen- cer, has become an integral part of the elementary school program. The arithmetic, reading -readiness program, along with the experiences provided to develop social and emti- on comply with grade one school procedures and practices. al growth are. important factors in assistingyoungchildren The Yarmouth Parent -Teachers Association, the South Yarmouth Women's Club, and the Bass River Savings Bank have helped on several occasions in promoting the school program. I. want to thank the persons responsible for this assistance. The effort and assistance of the school personnel to ad- vance the educational opportunities of the boys and girls of the. Yarmouth Elementary Schools has been excellent in all departments. Such cooperation and help has been appre- ciated. In closing I would like to express for the administration, the faculty and all other school personnel our appreciation to ou, YarmourolCommitten, as e Superintendent th S hofor help and understanding in the past year. Respectfully submitted, OSBORNE W. BEARSE, Principal REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mr. Alfred -R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Dear Mr. Kenyon: constantly. Changes in education seem to be taking place Often, I think, such changes are little more than somewhat different adaptations of familiar principles, changes in em- phasis, or changes in placement of steps dn�ing.hse rather mild kinds of change apply learning. cs, a term presently confusing to parents. Modern mathematics 139 is really not new but a different method of presentation cal- culated to form a better foundation for higher mathematics in high school and college. From the book Contemporary Progress in Mathematics by Stanley Bezuska, S. J., of Boston College, I quote the following explanation: "an attempt to present mathematics as a living subject that reflects its past history, recognizes its achievements in the present and reveals its potential for the future" - "presents the old and new content of mathematics in the best prevailing education- al policy". This text was used by the teachers of the ele- mentary schools in Union #11 in a course given during Octo- ber, November and December of 1963, by Mr. Stanley Dag- gett, head of the mathematics department at the Dennis -Yar- mouth Regional High School. The teachers appreciate your efforts and those of the School Committees to . make this course available to them. They agree moreover, that Mr. Daggett gave an excellent course from which the teachers feel they received_a good background for presenting modern mathematics in the classroom. The new program has been started in all grades, even grade one, to lay the foundation at the earliest possible point in a child's educational career. Publicity given to exciting advances in mathematics and science has caused some concern among adults for fear that the literature they learned to enjoy in their own schooling is being neglected. Examination of basal readers has increased such concern. In so far as possible,however, teachers and librarians have supplemented the readers because each gen- eration continues to be delighted by what we call "the old favorites", as indeed they are. We have also taken every opportunity to express to publishers our desire to see more attention given to the "stories that .never grow old". Miss Margaret Shea, Senior State Supervisor of Education for the State of Massachusetts, talked to the teachers of the union emphasizing the importance of literature, those old stories, poems and essays that we remember so well from our child- hood, and that have become a part of our tradition. Children need tradition as something to cling to. They must not be denied their literary heritage. What better way can parents help them to gain an education than by seeing that worth- while books are in their homes? These books should include the classics that parents read aloud and that children will carry in their memories all their lives. Can there be a happier place to discover plots and characters, or to learn the joy of sharing the discovery than in one's own home with one's own parents? With books we travel; with books we become ac - 140 quainted with old masters and with great people of today with books we dream dreams, look beyond the everyday, and are aided in forming our standards of living.pHence, we shall continue to irli the erature as well as the stimulationsive our f s science and pleasure logic oft mathe- matics. -- Literature books and storybooks for `fun reading" can- not take the place of the basic reading books which furnish children with a background in the study skills. We consider the Row -Peterson reading system one of the best. I extend my sincere thanks to you, Mr. Kenyon, to the School Committee, to the principals and teachers, for con- tinued cooperation. Respectfully submitted, ELLEN F. GOTT, Supervisor of Elementary Education REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR FOR GRADES ONE THROUGH FOUR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools - - South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon : All children draw or manipulate materials in answer to an impulse to create and to express themselves. Wide dif- ferences exist in abilities, controls,modes of working and types of perception. I take into consideration the differences in ability of each child. The art program provides experiences essential to the development of children at all levels of growth. It encourages freedom of expression and provides projects that stimulate mental, physical, and creative growth. Children are encouraged too experiment frima d explore ploreoin the various medias ; crayons, p paints, rs, tempera, clay, and pen and ink. The use of different medias allows each child the opportunity to show his skill and ability. The they develop gooden not workhabit and ressponsibilitiesn how to express lv�bg group situations. - Art appreciation in a simplified form has been introduced in the first four grades to acquaint pupils with the work of great artists and the beauty of their surroundings. 141 n %• iii non 1, i1 I would like to thank the Superintendent of Schools, the principals, and the teachers for their help and support. Respectfully submitted, MARION J. DREW, Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR FOR GRADES FIVE THROUGH EIGHT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is a pleasure for me to make my report to you regard- ing the art work for grades five, six, seven and eight in the Yarmouth Schools. The art program is a varied one in which every class member participates. The major emphasis is placed upon originality and true creativity in self-expression. Copying is discouraged. Ours is the truly creative approach. The basic fundamentals of color theory, drawing, design, compo- sition, perspective and lettering are presented. The program is flexible and ties in with other subjects whenever possible. The students have worked in a wide variety of media both singly and in groups. If you have seen any of the scen- ery painted by the children or any of their murals, no fur- ther explanation is needed. I feel their work has been good and more than acceptable. The students are beginning to realize, as do all well edu- cated people, that art is truly very important For without art and "the arts" of past civilizations, history would be in abysmal ignorance of many past cultures. Much of the art work presented at this early age in the child's development will enrich his adult life. There still is much to be done in the creative process. The surface has only been scratched. We are trying to integrate the person- alities of these young peoplewith the world around them and thereby to enrich their very lives. Each child creates•his own work and derives his own satisfaction from it. He projects himself into each thing he does. The results in each child are the important products of art education—not the accom- plished works of art. Encouragement—not discouragement - 142 is what is most important. This brings out the finest in every human being. In concluding, I wish to thank Mr. Kenyon for his interest in the art program for the pupils at the Yarmouth Schools and the teachers for their cooperation in this important field. Respectfully submitted, MARION H. ECKHARDT, Supervisor of Art REPORT OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon The instrumental music program begins in the fourth grade. At that time demonstrations on the basic band in- struments are given by older pupils to help all interested mu - would like pla o sic students decide which instrument for rentare available and two lessonsesp u sta band periodperiod are given each week. In the fourth grade the student should develop in ability to such a point that he can play every note on his instrument, including every sharp and flat produce a good tone, have good lip and breath control. He should have mastered, as far as possible, all mechanical and -physical problems. In the fifth grade, we review the fourth grade books and then progress to books at upper elementary and high school level where the stress is placed on rhythm. In grades six through eight, unison rhythm books are used. The rhythm problems studied in the instruction book are applied in band practice. The band uses both concert books and march. books. The march books emphasize speed of techniques and reading while the concert books encourage independence in reading and playing individual parts. - - The band participatesin school programs at Thanksgiv- ing, Christmas, Memorial Day and graduation and plays at the spring Parent-Teacher Meeting and at the Spring Festival. Respectfully . submitted, RICHARD LaPORTE 143 II I REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS Dear Mr. Kenyon: I am very pleased to submit to you and the residents of Yarmouth, the first annual report of the elementary school's stringed instrument program. - Miss Beverly Wales, who directed the program from January until her resignation in June, is to be commended for her outstanding work in organizing the first classes. She was not only an enthusiastic and untiring teacher but I found her students were correctly and carefully trainedin the fun- damentals of string playing. It is most fortunate that a teach- er of her caliber was available to launch this program. This fall, in addition to continuing the studies of chil- dren who started with Miss Wales, I have organized new classes for beginners in all the elementary schools, particul- arly encouraging fourth and fifth grade children to take up the violin or cello. Each child is receiving one private or semi -private lesson and one group lesson per week. A small string orchestra has been formed in each school and as the talent develops, quartets and other string ensembles will be en- couraged to perform for school programs, as I feel that per- formance is not only a great incentive to the children but also an invaluable factor in developing poise, confidence, and per- sonality. All children are musical and any child who has normal physical development can learn to play the violin or other string. instrument. The idea that musical talent is some mys- terious gift that some people have and others do not have is pure myth. A child who will make a serious effort to study and learn, can and will play well. Any specialized enrichment course such as this music program must have the encouragement, patient support, and cooperation of the classroom teachers, principals, and other school officials. This support I have had to the highest de- gree and it is gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. Thank you. Respectfully _ submitted, MRS. SYLVIA EDMUNDS Supervisor of Stringed Instruments 144 REPORT OF VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR GRADES ONE THROUGH FOUR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools . - South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr: -Kenyon: _ It is with great pleasure that I submit my third annual vocal music report to the Town of Yarmouth. I would like to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, our principal, Mr. Bearse, and all members of the Yarmouth school personnel who have helped to launch satisfactorily the music program in the four primary grades. Our vocal music program, like the past years, is designed for everybody in the classroom. It is a course of general music in which every member of the class participates. Thus it is important for me to set up a program which is enter- taining, fun -evoking, as well as educaticnal. The music class, - I consider, is a period where youngsters should seek freedom of expression in sound. Outside of our primary concern for vocal music, other areas of music, such as instrumental music, biography of composers, and theory study are discussed at regular intervalsaccording to the .age levels of the students. At the first grade level, the students learn to listen for beautiful sound, to imitate, and to reproduce the exact .. sound. They learn their songs by rote. Music is also metrical and rhythm, therefore, plays an important role in the making of good music. To practice rhythm we make use of bodily movements, such as clapping, marching and even dancing. Youngsters enjoy using rhythm band instruments for this purpose. These young singers find that the instruments well played add flavor to their singing. The second grades are taught to follow the curve of a musical pattern and the basic - -signs and symbols in the musical notation. Third and fourth graders go further into details of song study. Theylearn to read notes, to analyze the form of a song, and to become ac- quainted with other elementary phases of music theory. -- - -- Only after methodical guidance in the study of music, will youngsters be able to enjoy music to the full. The jo of music comes when a song is well sung, a piece well played, a program well performed. Respectfully submitted, LINDY CHAN, Music Supervisor 145 REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR FOR GRADES FIVE TO EIGHT . Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is the intention of the music department to maintain an enthusiastic desire to acquaint children of all ages with the world of music. Helping girls and boys to express them- selves through music and its related activities should be a pleasure for both student and teacher. To do this; I have for the past four years tried to adhere to the following pro- cedures ; singing, listening to classic and contemporary com- positions, sight reading, rhythmic development, and creative expression. This past year the same basic texts, "Music for Young Americans" with its accompanying records, manuals, and guides, have been completed in all grades. We have supple- mented these texts with books and records from the music libraries now in operation in all school buildings. The music program is planned to give all students an . opportunity to participate. Such music activities have been as follows ; Thanksgiving assemblies, Christmas plays with traditional music, the annual Spring Festival, grade assem- blies, Easter observances, and the yearly graduation programs. Respectfully submitted, BEVERLY S. COUNSELL, Music Supervisor _ REPORT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (BOYS) Mr. Alfred R.

CAMPBELL, Supervisor of Boys Physical Education REPORT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (GIRLS) - Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: - In the girls' physical education program our aim is to teach the pupils the way to and the value of physical fitness and good posture, from the viewpoint of health, appearance, 147 and a feeling of general physical and mental well-being. We teach a variety of activities such as ; individual and team games and sports of both high and low organization, relays, rhythmic activities, stunts, tumbling, marching, and exercises combined with the all important posture exercises. We stress the importance of adequate rest, relaxation, good nutrition and general health habits and urge the chil- dren to combine these with vigorous daily physical activity. In an effort to encourage wise use of leisure time at home and at recess, and to add to their total fitness we have put emphasis on games and skills suited for use at these times. The requests for more such activities both from classroom teachers and pupils is encouraging. Although the season has just begun, we have 'a very en- thusiastic group for the after-school basketball practices in the upper elementary grades. Our emphasis for girls of this age is on the intramural program. Each student who has joined will experience actual competitive play. We antici- pate a few extramural games which teach the social graces of being hostesses and guests as well as pride in and loyalty to their school. I have enjoyed meeting and working with you, Mr. Ken- yon, with Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, Miss Small and the entire very cooperative personnel of the three schools. Respectfully submitted, ANNE S. EMERY, Supervisor of Girls' Physical Education REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: The health in the school during the past school year has, on the whole, been very good. The students have been given routine physical examinations as in the past. Parents have been.notified of the defects found, and where necessary have been assisted in starting treatment. A number of fourteen to sixteen year old students who required working permits in order to have summer jobs have been examined at the school or at my office. 148 First-aid has been given as required in cooperation with the nurse and the student's family physician. Cooperation on the part of the School Nurse, Superinten- dent of Schools, Principal, teachers and parents has this year as in the past been excellent. Respectfully submitted, H. E.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: I am pleased to submit my annual report as -school nurse for the Yarmouth Elementary School. This year my time is divided among the John Simpkins, South. Yarmouth and West Yarmouth Elementary Schools. Early in the school year students were weighed and measured.. Annual physical examinations, as required by law, were given to children in grades one, four and seven by the school physician, Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse. Physical defects discovered during the examinations were reported to the parents. All health observations were re- corded by the nurse on cumulative health cards. Routine eye and ear examinations were given to all stu- dents. Parents were notified of any defects found. An immunization program of the Sabin Oral Vaccine was carried out by the Barnstable County Health Department in cooperation with the Yarmouth School Department. Yarmouth school children having parental consent, from Kindergarten through grade eight, received the vaccine. I would like to thank the Hyannis Kiwanis Club and the Salvation Army Chapter of Yarmouth for their assistance in a worthy cause in connection with my work as the school nurse.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is my pleasure to submit my third annual report of the Adult Education Program in the Town of Yarmouth. Again this year registration of students has surpassed all other years and reached a historic high of 396 — 144% over last year's record registration. This registration is a definite indication of a yearning for continued learning by adults in the various fields offered. Because of one new offering and an expansion of an- other, the adult education faculty has been increased to a total of nine teachers. This year I wish to welcome to our staff, Mr. Carlton Staples, instructor of woodcarving, and Mr. An- drew Miller and his assistant Mr. Millard James, instructors of woodworking. New courses to be offered are sought each year by your director through information gathered by conferring with adult educators and adult education students, by attending conferences such as the National Association of Public School Adult Educators in Florida this past November, or via letters received from townspeople requesting specific courses. Re- quests and suggestions are enthusiastically received and wel- comed. Approximately 400 people attended the Yarmouth Adult 150 Education Exhibit held at the John Simpkins Auditorium on March 11, 1963 from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. Many thanks are ex- tended to the instructors and students for their tremendous effort and cooperation to help make this exhibit a success.

Acting under Article P the following reports were ac- cepted by a unanimous vote Mr. William B. Letteney : As a result of the vote of Article 55 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1963, we submit the following report to the citi- zens and taxpayers of the Town of Yarmouth. After making a survey and study of all Town beaches under our jurisdiction, we find that most of the parking areas adjacent to Town beaches are small and are not adaptable to the control of charging for the parking of automobiles. Another factor involving and complicating the charge for parking is that Town Ways to water run through the areas and these Ways must be kept open to the general public and no charge for parking can be made. In February of 1964 a public forum was held in the Yarmouth Town Office and after much debate it was found 18 that Seagull Beach was the only beach at which charges for parking could be made. In this case no charge can be made in the Town Way layout from South Sea Avenue to the beach area. From the east end of the Town Way to the waters of Parker's River could be controlled by the fencing off at the point of entrance to the beach area property. To close our report, we are advised oy '1 oven Counsel that favorable action by Town Meeting is necessary before charges can be made for the parking of cars at Town beaches. Signed, William B. Letteney, Edward A. Johnson, Robert L. Studley, Park Commission. Mr. Kenneth Harvey Studley : The report of the Yarmouth School Building Committee.

CASH Registrars of Voters REPORT OF THE POLICE • DEPARTMENT December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth : Submitted herewith are the Report of Activities and Re- port of Arrests of the Police Department for the year 1964. As will be very evident by a comparison of the 1963 and 1964 figures the crime picture falls very much in line with the 79 national picture, showing as it does an increase of nearly half as much again as that of 1964. Particularly disturbing is the increase in juvenile crime, which, again, follows the national trend. It is the feeling of all police agencies that it behooves all parents to make greater effort to be aware of the behavior and movements of their children at all times. It is distressing to have to record the death of five persons caused by fatal accidents in which motor vehicles were in- volved. It is particularly distressing because in each case it is the opinion of officers investigating these accidents that the use of reasonable care and caution might well have avoided these accidents. In only one instance might condi- tions beyond the control of the motor vehicle operators have had a bearing on the fatal result. In the other cases un- reasonable speed, unfamiliarity with the vehicle being oper- ated, and unfamiliarity with the road being travelled, and in one instance the possible use of intoxicating liquor to some degree were held to be responsible. Your Police Department wishes to express its apprecia- tion to all other Town Departments for their assistance and co-operation and to Departments of neighboring Towns and the State Police, which assistance and co-operation aided us greatly in performing our duties. To the citizens of the Town we .express our appreciation for your co-operation and support and our sincere hope that you will never hesitate to call on us whenever we can be of assist:.nce and when you witness some act or condition which, if disregarded might lead to a serious condition. Prompt notification will bring prompt action. Respectfully, Herbert J. Jason Chief of Police.

I believe that you will want to know what this will probably mean to the Yar- mouth Department of Public Welfare. Public Welfare cannot bear the brunt of this program, but because of the wealth of information about people, their problems and needs, we may be asked to assist in taking an active leadership role in cooperative efforts with the State and Federal Government in attacking this basic problm. A study of many low-cost budgets has led the Council of Econ- omic Advisors to define an annual income of $3.000.00 as the poverty boundery for the average family. This is a weekly income of less than $60.00. Massachusets placed third among the fifty states in its low poverty incidence. Measuring poverty is not a simple task, but the above is a rough measure of a low -family income. More than two fifths of the popula- tion of Massachusetts, over 2,000,000 people do not have sufficient income to purchase the minimum necessities for a modest decent level of living. This number includes 256,000 single persons and 1,800,000 persons living in families. The largest group of the impoverished are families with children under 18, accounting for 74% of all persons with inadequate incomes. More than 800,000 children live in these families. 84 The average monthly case load of all categories of assistance for the fiscal year 1964 in Massachusetts. was 119,463. It is therefore obvious that only a small percentage of persons living at poverty levels or even in severe poverty receive Public Assistance at the present time. With the present trend we can anticipate a steady increase in the monies to be raised and spent by the town for welfare, even though the Federal Government and State participate in these costs. This de- partment is overextended with the present work load and the -- staff will have to be increased in order to cooperate in this - expanded program. There have been many changes in the administration of - welfare this year, which have added to the increase in the town cost. The more important are as follows: - 1. January 1, 1964 - hospital costs increased 10.6%. 2. June 1 - fuel allowance was changed in the basic budget from $23.00 for September to June and $9.50 from June to September, to a year-round basis of $20.00 per month, an increase of $6.12 per year, when cost of living percentage added. 3. July 1 - Nursing Home rates were increased in most homes in this area from $6.85 per day to $7.16, or $113.15 per year per recipient. 4. Leisure Time Allowance for O.A.A. was increased from $5.00 to $6.00 monthly effective September 1. 5. On September 21, 1964 a married child's exemption for responsibility to assist his or her parent receiving O.A.A. and M.A.A. was increased from a net income of $4750.00 to $6.000.00, and for each dependent child an increase from $600.00 to $1200.00. There was also an increase of $500.00 added to the present exemption for single children in or out of the home. 6. The Board of Public Welfare is now responsible for the expense of hospitalization of needy persons for a period not exceeding 30 days prior to date of request for such assistance. LIENS We were able to collect a total of $25,087.44 from liens held on property of O.A.A. cases. This amount was divided with the Federal, State and Town each receiving a percentage of the total. This helped . reduce the cost of assistance to the town. BREAKDOWN OF WELFARE COSTS The average case load of assistance remained approxi- mately the same as in 1963, 130 last year and 129 this year. Increase in medical payments which amounted to 44.1% of 85 the total cost and other changes as reported above caused the costof assistance to increase. The total expenditure for welfare including administration in 1963 was $227,260.87; in 1964 - $244,761.40, an increase of $17,500.53. The town's share for categorical assistance in 1964 was $35,426.19 or 15.8% of total and administration $7.250.36 or 34.3% for a total cost of $42,676.55, which is 17.4% of the total expenditures for 1964. This is a reduction in percentage from 1963 of 3.5% intown cost. OLD ACE ASSISTANCE. During 1964 the average case load in O.A.A. decreased from 62 to 58 cases. Some of the decrease was due to the fact that when an O.A.A. recipient enters a nursing home he must be changed from O.A.A. to M.A.A. so that the State and Town can participate in increased reimbursement from the Federal Government. The present case load as of 1/1/65 has decreased to 50 cases, due to several, recent M.A.A. trans- fers and deaths.

I anticipate a steady increase in applications for \i. A. A. due to the present publicity re the Kerr -Mills bill, which is M.A.A., and the large number of elderly retired peo- ple in Yarmouth.

R. were $15.296.15 as against $6,- 024.20 for 1964. Many of last year's cases had settlements___ in other towns or were unsettled. We were able to bill these towns and the state for the full amount of the expenditures. We collected in 1964 from these billings a total of $6,584.57. Settlement has now been eliminated from G. R. and we can no longer bill other towns. However, the state now re- imburses us 20% on all recipient expenditures.

Amount of one inch pipe installed (feet) 27,734 Amount of two inch pipe installed (feet) • 451 Amount of one and one-half inch pipe installed (feet) - 399 Gallons of water pumped 381,087,253 Stock on hand, estimated value $3876.41 This report is intended to disclose to the people the fin- ancial impact which the water department has imposed on the taxpayer throuh the years, its amazing growth, its antici- pated needs, and all pertinent and related matters. For the ten year period ending in 1964, the Water De- partment has cost the taxpayers of Yarmouth a minimum of $1.10 per thousand of valuation in 1960 to a maximum of $3.90 per thousand of valuation in 1964. On average, the cost to the tax payers for the ten year period has been $2.63 for each thousand of valuation. With the increase in water rates from $30.00 per year to $36.00 per year, effective July 1, 1964, the Board of Water Commissioners realize that there are some among us who may feel that the department is imposing water rates in ex- cess of our needs and growth. For the sake of comparison, we offer the following chart which is reflective of the cost of the major departments of the Town of Yarmouth for the -ten year period 1955-1964. DEPARTMENT INCEASE IN OPERATING COSTS Police 140% Highway 85% Fire Department 150% *Schools 140% Selectmen 75% **Water 60% *Does not include Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District which in seven years has increased in cost to the taxpayer nearly 100%. **Reflects actual increase in dollars and cents -to the Town 93 and covers maintenance and operation costs plus 'payment of principal and interest on capital expenditures less avail- able receipts. The above chart indicates that the burden placed on the taxpayer of Yarmouth by the \Vater Department has been least of all for the departments reviewed. For those of you who may not be convinced, the Board offers a further comparison of water department costs and we propose to show a comparison between thetaxpayer. and water consumer in Yarmouth as compared with the taxpayer and water consumer in Dennis. In 1964 with the new rates in effect it cost the home- owner of Yarmouth, who uses town water and whose place is assessed at $5000.00, $33.00 in water rates (basic rate) plus $19.50 in taxes to pay for the water department's overall ex- penses making a total of $52.50. In our neighboring Town of Dennis which is experiencing a growth similar to our own, the same owner would pay $24.00 (basic rate) in water rates and $32.00 in Water District taxes or a total of $56.00. This comparison is offered so our people will fully realize that the cost of water department operations is not out of line with the experience of others. The basis used for establishment of the new rates by the Commissioners was primarily as follows : 1. The establishment of a basic rate per year which would return enough revenue to pay for the mainten- ance and operation of the department. 2. The establishment of a rate for excess water usage which would return enough revenue to pay the prin- cipal and interest on the bounded indebtedness ac- cruing to the Town for capital expenditures. 3. And finally, the establishment of a charge for remov- ing, storing and installing meters in seasonal homes which would honestly reflect the cost of doing such work by the department. With the receipt of bills beginning in the first quarter of 1965, many of our customers who used large amounts of excess water during 1964, are going to be unpleasantly sur- prised. The new rates for use of excess water has been doubled and the large water user could well be shocked at the amount of his first quarter bill wherein charges are made. for excess water usage for the previous year. In establishing the rates for the use of excess water, the Commissioners felt that, since the large consumer is primarily responsible for the cost of the many capital improvements undertaken by the 94 department to meet his needs, he should be held accountable. We believe this to be an equitable approach and_in the best interests of the Town.• Looking ahead financially, the Commissioners are of the opinion that, based on a conservative projected growth of 300 new services per year and with the present water rates, the water department by 1975 will no longer represent a bur- den to the taxpayer. Including the Bond Issues of 1953, 1959, 1963 and a contemplated bond issue in 1968 for $250,- 000 to provide three new pumping stations and extension of trunk water mains, and also providing for short term borrow- ings of $50,000 — $75,000 per year for the acquisition of land for future well fields and yearly extensions of water mains on Town Ways, the Board estimates that the tax burden cre- ated by the deficit spending of the department will be reduc- ed from $3.90 per thousand of valuation in 1964 to $2.00 per thousand in 1968. After remaining at the $2.00 per thousand figure until 1971, it will then decrease to nothing in 1975. • Although the department has experienced an amazing growth during the years. 1964 services installed represented a 30% increase over 1963 and was 80 services more than ex- perienced in any preceding year. The commissioners are now estimating a total of 400 new services for 1965, and this will be reflected in the budgetary costs. The budget for 1965 is up considerably over that of 1964 when we spent approximately $110,000 for maintenance and operation. We estimate maintenance and operation costs for 1965 at $135.000, an increase of about 23%. This is due prim- arily to the following factors: 1. Increase in the cost of all material which we purchase. The cost of cast iron pipe for water mains was raised 10% on October 1, 1964and could be further increased. 2. Step rate increases for our employees plus the return of an employee who has been on military leave. 3. The cost of maintaining and operating three new pumping stations for a full year against seven months in 1964. 4. A cost of $13,000 estimated to paint the elevated tank -- ---- in West Yarmouth as against $6000 spent in 1964. The elevated tank on Strawberry Lane was found, after work was initiated under acontract to sand blast, paint and repair, to be structurally unsound. Corrosion through the years from the salt atmosphere had weakened the tank, struc- turally to .a point where it represented a hazard to the public and it would have cost the Town $15,000 to make stop gap 95 repairs while posing a large maintenance problem - for the future. It was felt that this tank which is nearly 35 years old and which cost, in 1931, $13,500 was not worth attempting to repair and the contract for sand blasting, painting, and in- cidental repair work, on advice of our consulting engineers, was terminated while executory. The painting contractor presented a bill for goods and services rendered plus over- head and reasonable profit and the bill was paid. Bidding on work to be done on the expansion program of the department covered by the 1963 Bond Issue was con- siderably below the engineering estimates and the depart- ment found that a surplus of some $70,000 would be available for extension of trunk lines. With the surplus money avail- able and acting within the intent and scope of the 1963 expan- sion program, the Commissioners used this surplus money to extend trunk water mains on Winslow Gray Road, Long Pond Drive, and, most importantly, a 12" main from the 20" line serving the new standpipe along Station Avenue to White Rock Road to the 12" line on Strawberry Lane Road, by- passing the condemned elevated tank previously mentioned. With the new 12" tie-in from the 20" line leading to the new standpipe to the 12" line on Strawberry Hill Road, the Commissioners feel that, in spite of the loss of the elevated tank, the system will be stronger and will fully meet the re- quirements of the National Fire Underwriters Associates. Turning to other matters, the $5000 appropriated at the 1963 Town Meeting was not enough to build the one-half. of a storage shed, recommended by the Finance Committee, and so sorely needed by the department and no action was taken. We are asking for an additional $7000 to build a stor- age shed compatible with our needs. The construction of a storage shed is needed to protect public property and it is not in the public interest to delay further. Now, turning to the most important matter facing the Commissioners, we ask your consideration of an article which we have placed in the annual warrant to acquire by nego- tiation, or otherwise, but not by eminent domain, seventy-five (75) acres East of the Plashes, so called. for the purpose of a well field. Last year we intended to bring this before the Town Meeting, but on advice of the Finance Committee, we deferred. We can no longer stall on this matter as real estate valuations in the vicinity of the proposed well field are rising monthly, and it is estimated that a year's delay in this ac- quisition may have cost the Town as much as $200.00 per acre. Lastly, the Commissionersreale that this is a long- winded report, but we feel that it is most appropriate at a time, when our people are very tax and cost conscious and therefor it is our duty to report fully on our department In all our deliberations and decisions, the deciding factor in our final judgment has been based on what we felt was the best interest of the Town. For these decisions, and for this reason, we offer no apologies. We will continue to serve you, unless instructed otherwise, in a maner which will be to the benefit of the many and in accordance with what we feel to be your best interest. Respectfully submitted to the people of the Town of Yarmouth by FREDERICK J. THACHER ROGER G. EDWARDS, JR. ELWIN. W. COOMBS Board of Water Commissioners FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT - January 19, 1965 To the Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: The following is the Annual Report of the activities of the Yarmouth Fire Department for the year 1964: TOTAL ALARMS FOR 1964 289 ALARMS FOR FIRES - Residential 51 Mercantile - 5 Manufacturing 2 All other buildings _ 1 Grass & Brush 51 All other fires 32 ALARMS FOR NON -FIRES False 9 Smoke scares, honest mistakes, etc 45 Emergency calls, investigations 80 Mutual Aid calls to other Towns 13 Response by Stations Headquarters Station 2 Station 3 Alarms - 53 37 57 Still Alarms 65 37 40 Of the above alarms, 30 were answered by 2 or more sta- 97 tions, and the 142 Still Alarms were answered usually with one engine or fire department vehicle. _ FIRES BY CAUSES Careless smoking 29 Children playing with matches 18 Misuse of electricity or appliances 18 Furnaces, stoves or heating devices 41 Misuse of machinery or equipment 4 Gas explosions 2 Careless disposal of burning materials 4 • Cooking 3 Chimneys 4 Struck by lightning 10 Malicious intent 3 Undetermined or investigation pending 6 Value of buildings and contents involved by fire $ 998,300.00 Loss of buildings and contents - covered by insurance. $ 127,606.94 Acres of woodlands burned by fire 871,6 Fatalities 1 Radio calls recorded 6,880 Fire permits issued 1,203 Violations (burning without permit) 31 Inspections of oil burners. 124 - Inspections of gasoline storage 8 Inspections by Bureau of Fire Prevention 88 In addition to the Fire Department responding to the 289 alarms during the year, 34 drills were conducted by the drillmaster with the officers and men participating in various phases of firefighting and use of fire equipment and apparatus. The efficiency of the department remains at a satisfactory level and improved methods and equipment continue to be our objective. Since the establishment of the Fire Prevention Bureau within the fire department in January of 1964, there has been positive progress in this undertaking. A total of 599 hours have been spent during the year working towards better fire prevention within the Town. In conjunction with . this an article was introduced in the 1964 Town Warrant requiring that the street numbers assigned to properties in the Town be displayed. This is of much help to the Fire Departinent in responding to alarms to insure finding the proper location of the house or property involved. 98 As stated in my Annual Report last year, the fire apparatus replacement program was delayed for. a year because of a request of the Board of Selectmen to try to hold down the anticipated increased tax- rate. You will note there is an article in the. Warrant this year to purchase and equip a fire truck. It is anticipated that the entire amount of money needed or a large proportion of it will be taken from the Stabilization Fund which has been an objective of the fire department in planning a fire apparatus replacement program without causing a heavy impact on the tax rate in any one year. It is my desire that this type of program be continued as the next replacement is scheduled for 1968. It is worthy of mention that the finance committee favors this method and has recommended the article this. year for the new fire en-., gine. A survey of the Town which I requested on October 29, 1963 has been made. Although the final results have not been completely tabulated by the New England Fire Insur- ance. Rating Association, I feel confident that there will be a change for the better in our insurance rate and that the rate will be lowered. This new rate will be announced to in- surance companies covering properties in the Town by the Rating Association when they have made their final deter- mination. The co-operation of the residents of the Town and of the various Departments of the Town given the Fire Department has been very much appreciated. I especially acknowledge the support and efforts of the officers and men of the depart- ment and the Fire Belles, the ladies auxiliary. Respectfully Submitted, DANA H. WHITTEMORE _ Chief, . Fire Department ASSESSORS REPORT 1964 As in prior years, we are continuing the policy of inform- ing those interested in Town affairs as to assessments and taxes. We have prepared a chart covering the past ten years, showing the trend of larger appropriations as the population increases proportionately. Naturally, as we grow in numbers the demand for enlarging our services keeps tempo. The chart shows the population at one figure for 1960; but will definitely 99 increase when the 1965 census has been completed. The chart will also show our growth by valuation and the result of appropriations upon the tax levy with the result- ing tax rate. May we touch briefly on the eleven dollar rate increase of 1964. The voters at the Annual Town Meeting of 1962 voted to purchase, or take by eminent domain, a beach area of ten and one half acres situated at the mouth of Bass River; a most beautiful beach and the jury thought so by placing a value of $330,000 on it as an award price. We as Selectmen requested a new trial with the result that the Judge sitting on the case reduced the award figure to $274,500. plus interest from 1962 to 1964, making aand total of $301,260.54. This would not have been such a shock, but the Division of Accounts informed us that as the tax rate had not been set, it would be necessary to pay the entire award out of 1964 taxation. As about every $30,000 spent means one dollar on the tax rate, we can attribute $10 of the $11 increase directly to the beach purchase. We wish to compliment the tax payers as to.their acceptance of this situa- tion. We have heard comments that once a rate goes up it will never go down. May we say at this time, we are working with the Finance Committee and the heads of departments with our goal being to return the tax rate to as near the rate of 1963 as humanly possible.

MARCHANT HENRY R. DARLING JOHN G. SEARS — Board -of Assessors - 5324 REPORT OF THE - - CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission has just completed an- other very busy year. Our work takes a great deal of time in research, contacts, and negotiations and cannot be com- 103 - 9• pleted in a short time. Consequently, many of our projects are in the working stage. In the coming year, we hope to complete many that will be of the greatest importance to the Town. We were very fortunate in being able to acquire the Edward V. Otis land on the South side of Dennis Pond. This land has some very beautiful maples, and the white pines and beech trees reach a height of from thirty to forty feet. We hope that you will take a walk along the trails that will be there next summer. John K. Davenport gave his marshland on the North side of town as a help in our efforts to save the "Big Marsh- es." Other gifts of considerable acreage of these Big Marshes are being anticipated. Our beautiful white cedar swamp in South Yarmouth continues to draw a lot of interest. Dr. Petry has established a trail and will be happy to take you on a tour when the weather gets warm. Numerous meetings were attended, including those at the Hyannis Community College and the meeting in Dennis, where the Conservation Commissions of Dennis, Yarmouth, Brewster and Harwich were guests of the Dennis Police As- sociation. Mr. Thomas Embler, Mr. Loren C. Petry, and Mr. Ray- mond S. Syrjala went to Boston to attend the salt marsh con- ference at the Museum of Science. The conference featured nationally -known Conservation leaders and was called by the Coastal Wetlands Action Committee to kick off a drive to save 45,000 acres of imperiled saltmarsh in Massachusetts. Both Governor Peabody and Governor elect Volpe came to express their views on Conservation. At Town meeting we will present an article, which basi- cally, is to save certain essential areas for conservation at no cost to the taxpayer. With the passage of this . article, we may be able to secure title to a considerable area, perhaps two hundred acres of the Great Marsh. We also have in mind a white cedar swamp and feeding grounds for wild animals and birds. The Conservation Commission wishes to thank the Se- lectmen for their valuable help in our program. Other people are working very hard for Conservation and we hope that in this coming year, they will be recognized for their dedicated efforts.

These permits include all new dwellings, commercial buildings, garages, accessory buildings and alterations. Fees collected and paid to the Town Treasurer from building permits was $3,173.00 Respectfully submitted, Alexander Catto, BUILDING INSPECTOR PLANNING BOARD REPORT FOR 1964 1964 has been a busy year for the Planning Board. The rapid growth of recent years has continued. The Planning Board processed over 91 subdivisions, comprised of a total of 1180 lots, as compared with approximately 600 lots in 1963. This high rate of growth (over 2,000 new homes in the last ten years) importantly underlines the need for the long-range plan which the Board, its consultants and other Town offi- cials have been developing over the past year and a half. The long-range plan which has been distributed in sum- mary form to townspeople and which is available in lengthy study report form at the Town Hall, libraries and schools rep- resents a broad range of goals which the Town should seek to achieve. Like any long-range instrument, the Planning Board views it as a flexible statement of goals, not a hard- and-fast diagram every line of which must be attained and exactly where shown. The Town will have update and in- terpret the plan in light of changing conditions in the years ahead. During 1965 the Planning Board will be working on studies which implement various aspects of the plan. A whol- ly new Zoning By -Law interpreting the land use goals of the long-range plan will be developed and should be ready for review by townspeople during the summer of 1965. Sub- division control powers will be reviewed in light of these goals. 110 The Planning Board will attempt to develop a: priority list of long-range capital improvements required for Yarmouth in coming years. Also, it is hoped that a beginning can be made on some of the major physical improvements reported in the plan, particularly Route 28 traffic improvements. _ t Your Planning Board extends an invitationlong-all range plan s - people to actively participate in shaping g; decisions in the year ahead. Only with your active supporte� land guidance will a ong-term Yarmouth plan be t interests. developed which best exp PLANNING BOARD TOWN OF YARMOUTH REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS & MEASURES December 31, 1964 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, Mass.

Beauregard Executive Director District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis • 113 • REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT • January 20, 1965 To: The Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth Sixteen Road Layouts were prepared for Town Meeting, of which fiflea were accepted and constructed during the spring and summer. The department is in the process of preparing a road inventory which will show the number of roads which are: 1. Unimproved or dirt surface, 2. Town roads in the system and being maintained, and 3. Private ways paved under the Planning Board regulations since 1959. •• To give an idea of the number of dirt ways existent in the Town, there are 235 of these unimproved, unsurfaced roads varying in length from a few hundred feet to a half mile. Most of these roads were laid out in the time of the real estate boom of the late 1920's or in the late 1940's and •are just now being opened up and built upon. In most cases these are the roads which are being laid out currently in order to try to eliminate this backlog. The rapid growth of the Town is also reflected in the increase in property trans- fers and subdivision plans to be plotted on Assessors Maps. In the month of December, alone. sixteen subdivision plans were in the Planning Board's current files. Three new as- sessors maps were drawn increasing the area now covered and making easier the assessment of properties shown thereon. Again, this year, we wish to thank all other department heads and the general public for their cooperation. Respectfully Submitted John L. Newton Engineering Department REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER October 23 1964 40 Arrowhead Drive Hyannis, Mass. Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. TO: Office of the Selectmen Dear Sirs: Due to the increase in the dog work• in the Town of Yarmouth I feel it necessary to make the following report and recommendations. 114 . • 1. At this writing we are just over 900 on the Dog Lie., As of April this year, which was the end of last years dog year our total was only 823, as you can see at only the mid -year point we are well over last year's total. 2. I received up to this time a total of 297 dog complaints, of which 293 were taken care of and 4 were found to be unfounded. 3. A total of 141 dogs were taken to the Dog pound for either running loose or being untagged, from May 1st to Oct. 21st. 4. We had an increase of 19% of Dog bites during this six months period. • 5. A total of five dogs ordered destroyed or disposed of as mean or vicious. 6. An over all total increase of 31% It is therefore recommended, 1. The Lease law run a full year 2. That the office of Dog officer be a dept. by its self as in all other towns, working under police dept. but budgeted separate. 3. The following recommended budget be allowed A. $3500. yearly salary B. $1200. Yearly Veh. allowance C. $ 250. Dog Pound Allowance D. $ 50. for adver. - C. $ 50. For Office supplies and Postage for a Grand total of $5050.00. The following Towns on the Cape have found it neces- sary to follow a like plan. Falmouth, Bourne, Mashpee, Barn- stable, Dennis, Brewster, Harwich, Orleans, Wellfleet, P - Town all these towns found -it necessary to follow a plan much like the above in all cases their problems started when they reached about 800 lic. dogs and we are well over that. From the facts that I have presented to you in the last year and the opinion of a cross section of the -townspeople, I feel that the larger percentage of the people are in favor of the year round dog law. I would be happy to appear before you or the Finance Committee anytime to explain any of the above. Orth plain in more detail my plans for the above. I believe you will find that the Chief of Police will ap- prove this plan and recommend that it be excepted. • Yours Truly Charles P. Ward Dog Officer Town of Yarmouth 115 COCO Joseph H.

To The Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth. Gentlemen: - During the year 1964 under the Shade Tree program one - hundred and twenty-seven (127)\requests were received for trees, doubling the requests of previous years. Ninety-two (92) trees were planted. It is becoming more difficult to keep up with the demand for shade trees with so many new housing developments in the Town. Most developments are lacking any type of shade tree at all. Will be Fall planting from now on as I find that trees planted in the Fall survive better than ones planted in the Spring. Requests received in 1964 and not taken care of will be done in the Fall of 1965. INSECT PEST CONTROL In 1964 there were several areas in West Yarmouth in- fested with tent caterpillar. They were sprayed immediately and brought under control before they could spread to other parts of the Town. With so many part of the Cape badly infested with the Gypsy Moth we made a thorough check of the Town and found no traces as yet in this Town. • With the spraying of the entire Capeanticipated, for the Gypsy Moth, in 1965 it is possible we will be spared the nuisance of this troublesome pest. The spraying for Poison Ivy was continued as usual this year. If there are any areas in the Town that were overlooked and can be reached by roadside spraying a call would be ap- preciated before spraying time. (July and August.) DUTCH ELM DISEASE CONTROL Dormant spraying of the Elm trees this Spring was very difficult due to the misty, rain weather. It was finally com- pleted by helicopter in April. Eleven samples of questionable elms were taken. The results from the Shade Tree Laboratory at the University of Mass. concluded none had_ Dutch Elm disease. Two had wood decay and were removed. The remaining trees had apparently defoliated early due to the drought and it is hoped they will come back this Spring. We pruned some Elms in the Spring, on the North side, and plan on doing more this coming year. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden. 119 31 REPORT OF YARMOUTH INDIANS (TOWN TEAM - 1964) January 9, 1965 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: This will include a report of how the money in amount of $900.00 appropriated by the town was spent: League Entrance Fee $500.00 Insurance $173.00 Cape Cod $227.00 Total Sports Center $900.00 Respectfully submitted Richard T. Welch - Secretary -Treasurer May I take this opportunity, through the medium of the town report, to talk of sports. Yarmouth Town Team under the management of Charles Duchesney ended the season in third place. We need a Town Baseball Team and we do need your support. The question is asked, " WHY f " The reasons are many and varied. But, the one big reason is the part it takes in ad- vertising the town. Of course there are many arguments pro and con on this subject. I am very pleased with the formation of the new recrea- tion commission voted at our last town meeting. As I have said before, and I repeat, monies spent on sports are monies well spent. I am working for town baseball, but this does not mean I am not interested in the other sports. I do feel there should be an equalization point not as it seems a sur- vival of the fittest. We should support, cooperate and make sports a part of our everyday life. A time for relaxation. Let's make sports the password. I do not have the time necessary to do what should be done with the baseball team. But, what time I do have I am very happy to give that we will have a town baseball team. Last season we attempted something different. This in the form of a sticker campaign. This did not work as well as was expected. So, therefore we did not end the season as well as other years. But, this will be taken care of and come the 120 a new season we shall make a different approach. We will make the return to our advertising booklet. Making some changes so that it become a benefit to you the advertisers. May I take this opportunity to expressmy appreciation and "THANKS" to all whc in any way gave a helping hand either small or large. Looking forward to a year of success for all sports in the town. Make them a part of your life for relaxation ani enjoyment. Your "Support". Your "Cooperation". Both requisites to the success or failure of any and all sports. _ -__ _ YOURS FOR BETTER SPORTS. Respectfully submitted RICHARD T. WELCH Secretary -Treasurer REPORT OF. THE VETERANS' AGENT December 31, 1964 District Board: • Raymond Darling - Yarmouth Victor F. Adams - Barnstable Earle •M. Davidson - Dennis A. John McQuade - Sandwich Board of Selectmen - Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: As Veterans' Agent and Director of Veterans' Services for the Town of Yarmouth, which is a member of the District named above, I hereby submit the following report for the year 1964. This department aided 30 cases, which consisted of 75 individuals on a financial basis, such as ordinary living ex- penses and emergency medical aid. At the present time there are 15 permanent cases on the veterans' benefit program Considerable time is given to the many services that we render to the veteran, such as filing compensation or pension claims; assisting, on the V.A. Income questionaire, filing ap- plications for admission into the V.A. Hospitals. Every city or town in the Commonwealth is required by lav to aid and assist the veteran if he is in need and if he is worthy, this department does such as the law requires and investigates each and every case, under the supervision of Mr. Leonard J. McManus, State Investigator for this area. 121 1 1,4 This Department has had the complete cooperation from the Selectmen and every agency of our Town. It is with much satisfaction and appreciation that I may continue to serve this District as Veterans' Agent. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross, Agent REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES 1964 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: January 21, 196.5 During the year 1964, I checked 1235 electrical installa- tions in the performance of my duties as Inspector of Wires. In the course of above I travelled approximately 9,000 miles. I am available in my office at the Town Hall every morn- ing, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. to assist anyone who might have any question regarding the installation or modification of wiring. Respectfully submitted, Edmund Fruean, Jr. Inspector of Wires REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR December 31, 1964 Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: I hereby submit the following report of Plumbing In- spector for the year ending December 31,. 1964 I have inspected 1190 plumbing installations and covered approximately 6975 miles. We regret the passing of one of our well known plumb- ers Mr. Roy A. Whitehead, who received his Journeyman Plumber's License about one year ago, and who was a very . active plumber in the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully Submitted, . Albert Smith Plumbing Inspector 122 REPORT OF THE TRUST FUND COMMISSION TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN IN AND FOR THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH: We have not made any changes in the investments of the various trust funds. As a result, however, of our investigation and research into the various trust funds, we have come up with the fact that there are about $10,000.00 accumulated income from the various trust funds which should have been turned over to and really belong to the scholarship funds or other benefits of the Town, as set forth in each will. We have taken steps this year to have such funds turned. over to the School Department to its scholarship fund, or to those uses to which the original wills so designated. This has taken some time, but I think we are finally on the right road and the Town School Department will benefit greatly thereby. . . A. Harold Castonguay, Chairman REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass.: Gentlemen: The year 1964 has shown another increase in boating on the waters of the town. The increase has been well over 200% in the past eight years. Mooring space in Bass River has become limited and new areas must be added. Dredging at the river should take place as soon as possible to alleviate an extreme problem. Boats above above a certain draft cannot navigate in the river at low tide thus limiting our resources. No immediate problems have arisen in the Lewis Bay or Bass Hole areas. I am pleased to state that once again Yarmouth has been free of boating accidents and personal injuries due to mis- haps on the water. It would be wise for boat owners of the town to take advantage of getting good mooring areas, early in the spring. Respectfully submitted, John L. Silver, Jr.. Harbor Master. 123 REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HISTORIC COMMISSION TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN IN AND FOR THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH: The mouthgrund ancient and soldcalled abouth100 e ,Baxter pounds of corn m� in the past fiscal year. There were about 250 visitors from all parts of the coun- try, but only about 3 visitors from the Town of Yarmouth. We are returning to the Town, from the proceeds of the sale of meal, and contributions, the sum of $55.17. The rea- son that this is all profit to the Town is because of the good volunteer work by Joseph Cunningham and his friends in keeping the mill open Saturdays and once in a while on a Sunday. To Mr. Cunningham and his friends I extend the thanks of the Town. _ To other people who live in the Town, I would suggest that if you have some time on your hands you might be will- ing to give a day or so during the summer toward keeping the mill open. All repairs and upkeep of the mill have been and will be done gratuitously, without expense to the Town. The spreading and growth of the motels along West Main Street in West Yarmouth only prove the wisdom of the Town in obtaining the mill and the land next to it, to keep this area open and add to the beauty and aesthetic value of this area.

Its members, under the excellent leadership of its President, Donald Maynard, contribute great- ly to the financial, social and literary success of the Library. The programs, under the joint -chairmanship of Carl H. Bus- sey and Fred W. Winters, have been most enthusiastically received by from fifty to seventy members who have attended each month. The members have set aside Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) to be given to the Trustees toward renova- tions which are to be made inside of the Library building. Twoof the friends members, Mrs. Fred W. Winters and Mrs. Arthur Smith, with two of the Trustees, Mrs. William G. McRee and Mrs. Francis Goodell were in charge of the exceptionally well-planned and enjoyable National Library Week program. Mrs. Crittenden Adams gave the wrought -iron rails which help patrons to more easily ascend the front steps. We are grateful to Mrs. Adams for this long -needed improvement. The plan for the construction of . the Mary Rousmaniere Memorial stack room is being drawn by Albert Niemi of West Yarmouth. W 7e hope to build in the Spring. We were all shocked and saddened by the sudden death of our assistant Librarian, Mrs. Walter Jalicki. It will be dif- ficult to find a person as devoted, conscientious and trust- worthy. We thank the members of the Board of Selectmen, the members of the Finance Committee and the taxpayers for their continued interest, understanding and generosity. Respectfully submitted, Martha U.

There was no disruption of service to the community with the change of librarians in September. Since then every effort has been made to sustain the needs of library patrons and expand services to all of them, from reference work with students, to requests for material from the general public including the small children first experiencing the satisfaction and delight of library membership. The following statistics are taken from the records for 1964: CIRCULATION Adult 17.900 Juvenile 7,196 25,096 1,252 28,348 - January 1965 Total Periodicals Grand Total VOLUMES IN LIBRARY 1963 Added - 1964 11,288 481 Total 11,769 Discarded & lost 424 Total 11,345 243 472 I wish to thank the Board of Directors of the South Yar- mouth Library Association and the Chairman, Mrs. Ann Max - tone -Graham for inspired leadership and cooperation, and the Town for their encouragement and support.

Mrs. William M. Turner gives up her job as Secretary and to her also my appreciation for all the `extras'. NUMBER OF DAYS OPEN NEW MEMBERS 128 To our new Secretary, Mrs. Jones W. Mersereau and to our new Treasurer, Mr. Rufus Shaw, a warm welcome. Mary Egan continues her commendable work as Page. She is reliable and efficient. The library parlor receives a great many compliments from our patrons and visitors, and the happy selection of the new sofa covering by Mrs. John Forsythe is much admired. Physical equipment of the library is in good order, and attention can now be focused on expansion of library facilities by increasing the volume and quality of the book collection, the reference materials and periodicals, and to continuing to serve the needs of the community and extend these services to the highest possible degree. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. Frances Rousseff Librarian REPORT OF THE WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND CITIZENS WEST YARMOUTH. MASSACHUSETTS Gentlemen: 1964 — a year the Trustees of the West Yarmouth Library Association will never forget — was a very exciting and hectic year. As you all know, they started working on the West Yar- mouth Community Building late in March to prepare it for moving to the new location on Lewis Road, next to the Fire Station. On April 1, 1964 the heat was disconnected and because of "cool" weather, the Library was only open after- noons. On May 18, 1964 the lights were turned off and al- though the weather was much warmer we had to continue operations only in the afternoons. On June 29, 1964 the Library closed not to be open again until August 26, 1964. For three months we were open only afternoons; closed the month of July and open only three days in August. At this time our new building is nearly finished and we expect to "take occupancy" very shortly. As in past year, we wish to thank all who donated -books to our library and thank the contributors to our ever-growing and much-needed Furnishings Fund. From all connected with the Library, we extend a very special "Thank You" to the Selectmen, especially Mr. How - 127 Li and Marchant, who did everything in their power to make conditions at the Library a bit more comfortable. Their kind and generous consideration was greatly appreciated. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED Eleanor E. Finn, Librarian West Yarmouth Library Association January 12, 1965 REPORT OF THE RECREATION ACTIVITIES COMMISSION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen This is the first report of this new Commission which was appointed and organized this past summer as authorized by the 1964 Annual Town Meeting. The Commission consists of the following members as designated and appointed. Mr. Joseph Curtis designated by the School Committee Mr. Darrell Sheppard designated by the Recreation Commis- sion Mr. Merrill Wilson designated by the Planning Board Mr. Edward Johnson designated by the Park Department Mr. Raymond Mello, at large, appointed by the Selectmen Mr. Robert Wood, at large, appointed by the Selectmen Mr. Richard K. Johnson, at large, appointed by the Selectmen The first meetings this fall were spent in organizing the Commission with Richard K. Johnson being elected Chairman and Robert Wood elected Secretary for the coming year. Also, several projects were discussed for the Commission to investi- gate, inventory and recommend action for the Town to take in the near future. These projects were divided among the mem- bers in the following manner : Sports programs - Merrill Willson West Yarmouth Community Building - Robert Wood Public Access to Water - Edward Johnson Public Lands for Recreational Purposes - Darrell Sheppard Recreational Activities Other Than Sports - Joseph Curtis Civic Skating Rink - Raymond Mello. In each case the members will inventory existing programs and facilities and bring in a report to the full Commission complete with recommendations for Commission action. From 128 this we expect to cover most fields of recreational activities in our Town and make recommendations for strengthening exist- ing programs, as well as instigating new ones., As an example of these projects, the Commission will ask the Town this year to turn over the operation of the West Yar- mouth Community Building to itscontrol for the purposes of promoting recreational activities there when the library moves to its new building. We are in hopes of establishing a teen- age age community center which would open its doors to the youth of our community as well as providing a facility for clubs and adult groups to use for meetings and organized activities. Wi feel that this fine old building which willcontain a full three floors (including the basement) of usable space can be used more fully under the Recreation Activities Commission control than it is now. This project is still in its planning stages and the Commission welcomes any help and suggestions fromany- one interested in its possibilities. We shall also be looking for volunteer help in refurbishing and furnishing it for the pro- posed teen-age center. \Ve hope it can become a community project under our guidance. Concrete proposals in this regard will be forthcoming this year starting with Town Meeting...` The other projects listed above are in their initial stage of investigation and anyone wishing to help with information.gr suggestions are welcome to attend any of our regular meetings which are held every third Monday of every month at 7:39 iE the Town Office Building -Or contactthe member in charge. of the project. We also welcome any suggestions for new prof: ects which we might or should be concerned with. We shall undertake ainbitious programs for our Town to consider. \Ve shall work with the thought in mind that it -is our duty to present programs for the Town's consideration in the field of recreational activities. If accepted, we shall do our best to carry these programs out with' the cooperation .of other Town departments and/or private individuals or clubs, or directly by your Recreation Activities Commission, which- ever is more effective or applicable. Weshall do our best to be an active, working Commis- sion for the benefit of our Town. Respectfully submitted, . Richard K. Johnson, Chairman 129 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT - .1964 Board of Selectmen Town Hall- -Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I wish to submit this report of the Barnstable. County Health Department for the year 1964. The routine work of the Department has been carried out as usual, however, some special activities are worthy of Comment. Poliovirus vaccine, Oral Trivalent (Sabin- strains types 1, 2, and 3 in one dose) is available to all citizens in Barn- stable County through the purchase by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. This department is storing the vaccine in 10 dose vials and it is available at all boards of health and doctors on request. - The part-time child psychiatric clinic was transferred to the Barnstable County Hospital grounds and under the direc- tion of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health on July 6, 1964..-. This program continues to be a cooperative project of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, County Commissioners through the Barnstable County Hos- pital and the Barnstable County Health Department, and the Barnstable County Mental Health Association. It is hoped the community will request services for our adult population and additional services for children. April 14, 1964 the Massachusetts Department of Public Health under provision of Section 59 of Chapter 111 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts dele- gated the authority to license Day Care services to Town Board of Health . with "the proviso that the Health Officer . (or his duly authorized representative) shall in all cases have the authority to act as the agent in conducting the program." This . department is responsible for the complete evaluating of each known Day Care service and makes the necessary recommendations in writing to Town Boards of Health, who in turn collect the fee and issue the license to the applicant. This summer we participated in a special Massachusetts Department of Public Health Migrant Labor project. The project did draw to our attention the number of camps, the 130 needs of the workers (and some with families) and gave some direct service to these workers. Members of the staff continue to take an active part in community health activities. Mr. Decoteau and Mr. Sturte- vant are secretary and treasurer respectively of the Associated Board of Health. Mr. Tateosian has given leadership to a' successful Yankee Conference, plannedfor the New England States Sanitarians. Mrs. Dalzell is providing leadership is getting the dental hygienists in Barnstable County together. Miss Susich has been especially active on - the new Home- maker Service and Alcoholism- Clinic programs. These two programs have become a reality late in this year and we look forward to badly needed assistance for the many families requiring this kind of help. _ The staff program committee has planned educational programs for the monthly staff meetings. Special films were shared with the staffs of our three hospitals. September 16, 1964 Miss Anne P. Halliday retired as psy- chiatric social worker after 10 years and 8 months of devoted service. December 1, 1964 Miss Ether G. Howes joined the staff as Director of Nursing. Personnel as of December 31, 1964 Mary Susich, R.N., B.S., M.P.H.—County Health Officer Ruth Alvezi, Junior Clerk and Stenographer Alice Dalzell, Public Health Dental Hygienist Leo Decoteau, B.A., R.S.—Public Health Sanitarian Rita DeSiata, Senior Clerk and Stenographer Ruth C. Giovanazi, Principal Clerk (on 1 year leave of ab- sence) Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S., B.A.—Nursing Educa- tion Director Gerhsen Rosenblum, Ph.D.—Clinical Psychologist (part time) Richard Sturtevant, B.S., R.S., M.Sc.—Public Health Sani- tarian Edward H. Tateosian, B.S., R.S.—Public Health Sanitarian ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION During 1964 the department continued the inspection of all eating and drinking establishments and carried out labora- tory tests in conjunction with the inspections. The number of establishments continue to increase along with the growth of this resort area. Three more Articles of the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code have become effective, i.e., Swimming Pools, Family 131 Type Camp Grounds, and Rules and Regulations Relative to Eating and Drinking Eestablishments, all enforceable by the local Boards of Health. The Towns of Sandwich, Harwich, Dennis, Yarmouth and Chatham are in various phases of making studies for munici- pal sewage treatment systems. In towns where the problem is not immediate, consideration should be given to sites and land acquisition for future use for sewage treatment facilities. The Town of Wellfleet has completed a water source sur- vey under a federal loan program. Two or more sites were located producing water of excellent quality. Towns should be aware that legislation has been filed for the elimination of open face dumps. If it is passed it will require towns to use the sanitaryland fill method which is of course more costly. However, the land fill method reduces fire hazards, use of the fire department, eliminates the rat problem, also air pollution, and is highly recommended by all official health agencies. Other activities in environmental sanitation included su- pervision of Day Care Centers for children, inspection of all public schools, conducting sanitary surveys of harbors, rivers, and shellfish areas. NURSING SERVICE The Cape Cod Nursing Service directors committee has planned and carried out educational programs for the pro- fessional graduate and licensed practical nurses throughout the year. This is for nurses wherever they may be employed. The quality of the programs has been remarkable and the attendance exceptionally good. The Associated Boards of Health has appointed a special committee to study and present a procedure of recording and reporting the various health activities within their towns. DENTAL HYGIENE SERVICE This year the topical fluoride program was carried out in the elementary schools in the Towns of Truro, Mashpee, East Falmouth, Wellfleet, and Eastham. During the summer topical fluoride clinics for children entering kindergarten were held in Orleans and Eastham. A screening was done in Mashpee for all grades and an Oral Hygiene Index and screen- ing was completed in Sandwich. The O.H.I. is a new method of examination for the purpose of classifying the oral hygiene status of the mouth. It is useful when assessing tooth brush- ing efficiency and when evaluating the dental health practices of a community. 132 Much more educational work was done in school systems this year emphasizing the importance of a clean mouth and trying to motivate children to good dental health practices., Frequent and proper brushing, well balanced diets exclusive of sugar as much as possible, visits to the dentist at least twice a year, are still the three basic practices for good dental health. Preventive methods such as topical fluoride treat- ments and the taking of fluoride tablets are excellent, but as they do not reach all our children, education and motivation of the three basics still remain our most important concern.

Gentlemen; I hereby submit the report of the Inspector of Gas and Gas Piping for the year ending December 31, 1964. During the year 773 gas inspections were completed, of which 85% covered three or more appliances as well as meters and piping. Effective July 23, 1964 under Chapter 312 of the Acts of 1964, the Massachusetts Regulatory Board adopted all sections of Pamphlet 58 pertaining to the installation of Liquified Petroleum Gas. The new Code books covering the above Acts are in the process of being printed. Also during the month of October 1964, a new organiza- tion known as The Cape Cod Gas Inspectors Association was formed to bring about closer cooperation between the towns in the interpretation of the Massachusetts Gas Code.. I would again like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the personnel of The Yarmouth Town Office, The Fire Department, and the installers of gas working in the town for the wonderful help and cooperation received during the past year. Respectfully Submitted CHARLES A. VAN DUSEN Inspector of Gas and Gas Piping REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Commission in charge of the Bass River Golf Course are pleased to report that the gross income from the 1964 operation of the Course was $97,164.12 as compared to $101,049.50 for the year 1963. Operating expenses were $60,551.46 and special charges were $2,198.00; resulting in a net of $34,414.66 for the year. The problem ofcharges for playing arose again and after consideration of all factors, the members of the Commission revised the schedule of fees to reflect more fairly the interest of the Townspeople and the players. 135 Of vital importance, in the opinion of the Commission, is the maintenance of the Golf Course in its present excellent state and the improvement of the facilities to keep pace with the increasing number of other courses in the area. To this end, the Commission proposes to start this year a program of automation of the watering system, which will help to cut down the number of employees and to make more efficient use of fertilizer. This project will be the subject of a Special Article. Also the need for more supervision of the players has led the Commission to propose the employment of a ranger who can help in the management of the players and keep the course running smoothly. The Commission wishes to thank the employees of the Course through whose efforts a magnificent recreational fa- cility is kept running so well. Nye Crowell, Chairman Oscar W.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is again a pleasure to submit to you my annual report as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. Mr. James Clarke's promotion to assistant principal in charge of the South Yarmouth Elementary School has pro- vided constant leadership needed there in the expanding school situation. Mr. John Meehan is now lecturing in science, has charge of the library facilities, is co-ordinating the audio-visual mate- rials of the schools, and is available for a variety of other duties, all of educational value in building a stronger program. The school curriculum at Yarmouth has been modernized in all of the subject areas during the past few years. The teachers have joined with the administrators and superintend- ent of schools in a team approach to the needs of the school. The self-contained classroom plan has changed to a laboratory technique with specialization on the part of the teachers, who are now instructing in not over two basic subjects even at the first -grade level. In the first three years of schooling the memory approach to subject matter has been superseded by one of basic concepts requiring sound thinking on the part of the pupils. These changes in school facilities and program have resulted in a better learning situation for all students. The need to keep parents informed concerning the prog- ress of their children is decidedly important. I feel that in this respect the teachers in our schools are increasingly effec- tive. The open house during National Education Week, the assembly programs planned for parents by the pupils in vari- ous arious grades, as well as individual conferences between parent and teacher, are examples of programs designed to help bring the home and school closer for the benefit of the pupil. Sound education includes attention to special subjects: physical education, art, vocal and instrumental music. I should like to commend the teachers of these subjects for providing motivation calculated to develop such skills in pu- pils at the ages of those in our elementary schools. The rapidly expanding school population at Yarmouth again points to the need of more school facilities for the mid- dle -school-age pupil. Studies are now being formulated to 168 achieve a solution of the problem, but in the interim it will - again be necessary to enlarge classes and use specialized areas as classrooms. Mrs. Elizabeth Keveney, associated with the school cafe- terias for twenty-seven years and manager at the 'Vest Yar- mouth School from the opening of the new facility, has re- signed due to ill health. Her many school friends join me in wishing her a rapid return to good health and increasing activity. Without the aid of my administrative associates and the teaching custodial, cafeteria, and secretarial staff, it ould be impossible to provide for. the education of the pupils the school plants. I- want to thank them for this cooperation and assistance. To you, Mr. Kenyon, as Superintendent of Schools, and to the Yarmouth School Committee I express for the adminis- tration, the faculty, and all other school personnel our appre- ciation for the help and encouragement extended to us during the past year.Respectfully submitted, - Osborne W. Bearse - Principal REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: The level system of teaching introduced six years ago in Yarmouth, has now been expanded to include all grades from one through eight. Increased pupil participation, interest, and achievement, and enhanced teacher control of the educational environment, have been rewarding. Principal and supervis- ors of surrounding towns have become genuinely interested. At a recent meeting of our association, Mr. Osborne Bearse, principal of Yarmouth schools, Mr. J. Robert Dunn, principal of the Ezra H. Baker School in Dennis, and I were invited to . Mr. Shoinr, Senior Supervisor ofanel discussion gthe1ng this Elementaiy Department of 169 the State Department of Education was a special guest. He expressed interest in and enthusiasm for our work. The orientation of new teachers to our teaching proced- ure is necessary each year. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the principals for their assistance and the experienced teachers for their outstanding team effort, which have -helped to make our system the success it is. We cannot rest assured that our boys and girls are re- ceiving the best training possible without constant study and evaluation of texts and course content. As I have mentioned in previous reports, we have worked, during the past five years, in the fields of mathematics,language arts, reading and science. For the present we are relatively satisfied with these areas. Our goal this year is to review new texts and attempt to find even more satisfactory methods of teaching social studies, phonics, and spelling. The influx of new pupils necessitated the spending of much time in testing this year. There has been a great deal of controversy regarding testing; however, we feel that what we do is necessary in order to place these people in the proper levels. To keep pace with new trends and philosophies of edu- cation, it is necessary to attend meetings and conventions, to hear qualified speakers, and to meet and talk with specialists. I am grateful to the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis for per- mitting Miss Marguerite Small, assistant principal of the West Yarmouth School, and me to attend, this past spring, the Prin- cipals' and Supervisors' Convention at Amherst. The meetings of the International Reading Association afford an opportuni- ty to compare our reading program with that of other towns in the area and occasionally to hear from outstanding cities and towns beyond Cape Cod. Many of our teachers attend these meetings and this, I feel, results in improved instruc- tion. Your cooperation, Mr. Kenyon, and that of the School Committee, principals, teachers, and other school personnel is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Ellen Gott, • Supervisor of Elementary Education 170 REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISORS Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon, Supt. of Schools Main Street South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: The most important part of the art program is what is accomplished—not so much from the standpoint_of great art- istic creations but particularly in the growth of the pupil's . personality. Creativity, interest, stimulation of thought are all important in the spontaneous artistic production. This year we made every effort to tie in our own pro- - gram with community needs and other class subjects, using our general broad art background and a wide variety of media and experiences. We painted scenery, decorated classrooms, entered the humane Education Association Poster Contest (with phe- nomenal results) and also made posters for Fire Prevention Week which were displayed in the local shopping area. All this we did in addition to carrying on a general basic program in art, its functions and its history. It is with complete sincerity andonly after diligent•search- ing of all avenues of thought that I make the following rec- ommendations: Classes should be small enough to permit individual as- sistance and help and the area sufficiently clear to permit the passage of the teacher between the desks to observe .and help the child in his work. -. There should be at least a double period of art weekly in grades seven and eight and all other classes should have art weekly or more frequently. It should not be necessary for a class to have art only every two weeks because of the lack of teaching, staff. I should lice at this time, to thank all those who have shown a genuine interest in the "child and the art program Respectfully submitted, Marion H. Eckhardt, Art Supervisor Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon Art is an important part of the current school curriculum. 171 It encourages free expression, experimentation and explora- tion of the various media. It is a stimulant in the creative growth of a child. At an early age much emphasis is placed on originality, the basic fundamentals of color, perspective and composition. Children are very observant and are aware of the influence art has on everyday life, at home and in school. I believe, with this knowledge of the fundamentals they are further inspired to use it in their picture making, for art is a means of true expression for- the child. I thank the School Committee, Administrative personnel, teaching staff, office and custodians for their thoughtful co- operation. . Respectfully submitted, Barbara Demas, Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools . South Yarmouth, Massachusetts _ • Dear Mr. Kenyon : In these days of push-button living music ranks as a most effective way of training the child to be a doer instead of a watcher. Apart from its cultural benefit, music helps the child to develop the discipline, poise, and self-confidence necessary to grow emotionally, mentally, and socially. Here in Yarmouth. we have what is almost an ideal program. Beginners start in the fourth grade, continue thru the fifth grade in homogeneous classes, and rive two peri- ods of instruction per week, plus one period of band. Grades six, seven, and eight are combined into brass class, woodwind class and percussion class, and meet for one period of instruc- tion, plus one period of band. The band performs at school functions, spring festival, and graduation. I wish to thank all concerned for the co-operation this program has received. Respectfully submitted, Richard G. LaPorte Supervisor of Instrumental Music 172 REPORT OF THE VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent. of Schools Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: In making my fifth annual report as vocal music super- visor I should like to emphasize the continuity in growth we have achieved by the adherence to the idea that today is im- portant to children. Children learn for now. With this in mind the music program has provided the opportunity for every child to express himself in as many ways as possible in accord with his interests. "The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best". The textbooks Music For Young American are being used successfully in all grades. together with the accompanying records and manuals for teachers. I have used the material to help every child to sing well with good tonal quality and with clear diction. To read music skillfully requires time and practice. In grades five and six I have tried to develope rec- ognition of certain basic music figures or patterns both tonal and rhythmic which may be used in approaching an unfamiliar song. The children are led to discover how harmony parts blend, to sense the way music moves in 2, 3, 4, and 6 counts. Rhythm band instrumental classes are most popular since the children can respond easily with body movement. We learn to recognize instruments in their family groups in music listening; to know a few facts about the lives of famous com- posers; to appreciate how music developes its building blocks —rhythm, melody and harmony. In grades seven and eight I have given additional atten- tion to the historical background of song material. Traveling display boards with current events news worthy in the music world are in use. This year our junior high level has been equipped with junior high rhythm band instruments of a semi-professional variety. It has been interesting to note that the hitherto non -participating vocal student, when lured by the desire to respond rhythmically, eventually sings. Mu- sic in all grades includes good voice production, music for listening, basic music theory, the study of 1, 2 and 3 partsongs and good diction. Through our songs we get to understand more about our country and the people of other countries; their history, festivals, heroes, environment, experiences and beliefs. • 173 I visit four elementary schools in the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis reaching approximately 670 pupas. Due to the excellent cooperation of the administration personnel and the vigorous enthusiasm of all our teachers we have participated in Thanksgiving assemblies and operettas, caroling for Christ- mas exercises, music programs for the Yarmouth P.T.A., the annual Spring Festival of Music, Memorial Day Observances and Graduations. May I take this opportunity to thank the parents, teach- ers and the administration for their support of the music pro- gram/ Respectfully submitted, Beverly S. Counsell. Vocal Music Supervisor Grades V--- VIII Mr. Alfred Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear -Mr. Kenyon, Since acquiring the position as vocal supervisor from pre-primary to 4th grade I have tried to give my pupils the enjoyment of all musical experiences as well as the fundamen- tal theory of music. Singing, rhythms, creative response, listening and playing rhythm band instruments are the areas of musical experience around which each lesson is built. The children are prompted to express themselves either vocally or instrumentally and learn to interpret music through the art of conducting. The autoharp, as well as the piano, is used as an accompaniment. As an added musical experience the children are taught to play the autoharp which provides for them a pleasurable ex- perience and also gives a feeling of accompaniment Music has become an integral part of the elementary school program.. This program should guide and inspire as well as become a potent influence in the every day lives o£ our young people. I wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon. the principals and facul- ty of the Yarmouth schools for the cooperation I have received - in carrying out my vocal music program. Respectfully submitted, Drusilla Lumenello Vocal Music Supervisor Kindergarten through Gr. 4 174 REPORT OF THE FRENCH SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I submit my first report as French Supervisor for grades seven and eight. The program of French I feel is mainly to give the student a working knowledge of a foreign language, that is, the ability to converse as freely as is possible for each individual child I am sure the immediate benefit of the course is not real- ized by every student. However the course's advantage as a foundation for futur language study should be realized. The ability to excel in a foreign language is, I believe, a talent. Therefore I do not feel it should be expected that every child do well. I do feel that every childderives some benefit even if it be merely that of mental discipline. The course is geared sa that the emphasis be on con- versation, or the ability to converse. It is for this I strive. However I do feel a solid foundation in grammar is absolute- ly necessary in the study of any foreign language. Aside from conversation the student becomes familiar with composition, translation, dictation, oral presentations and pronunciation exercises which are on record and present- ed with filmstrips. It is not always possible to have each child recite daily, especially in classes of thirty or more. At this point how- ever, results appear to be satisfactory. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at The John Simpkins School, facultyy and personnel, for their cooperation and help. Respectfully submitted, ERNE;T A. DENEAULT Supervisor of French REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. - Dear Mr. Kenyon: - It is with pleasure I submit my eighth annual report as Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education in the Yarmouth Ele- 175 mentary Schools. The physical well being and health of our young people is the primary concern of our physical educa- tion program. Physical fitness is but one aspect of fitness; however, it is a very significant aspect and one which is basic to other forms of excellence. Efforts to improve physical fitness should be carried on which full regard for all fitness Tali - ties - spiritual, mental, ernotional and social. Our school program emphasizes the physical aspect of fitness as part of total fitness. It consists of the following activities and parti- cipations. Boys' Physical Education is offered and required of all boys in the Yarmouth Elementary School. The third to sixth grade boys have one period a week and the seventh and eighth grade boys have two periods a week. The program consists of calesthenics, individual and team games with emphasis on fundamentals and rules, gymnastics and self -testing activities which include tumbling and fundamental work on the ap- paratus. Our programalso includes an extensive after school ath- letic program in soccer, basketball, baseball and informal track, to provide a situation for the students to acquire and display fundamental skills developed in our program and further provide an area where they can display the social at- tributes, sportsmanship, teamwork, etc. Again this year our Saturday Morning Basketball has grown. We now have 160 boys in grades four, five and six participating at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School gymnasium and 110 boys in grades seven and eight participat- ing at the Ezra H. Baker School gymnasium. Mr. William Chapman, Mr. Stephen Howes, Mr. Merrill Wilson and Mr. Louis Drake are the instructors at the Ezra H. Baker School. Mr. Freeman Cash, Mr. James Clarke, Mr. Richard Maxwell, Mi. Joseph Aldridge and Mr. Daniel Campbell are instructors at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Again I would like to thank Mr. Freeman Cash for his able assistance in helping to carry out the athletic program. Also I would like to express my appreciation to you Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Gregory Drake, Miss Marguerite Small, Mr. James Clarke, Jr., teachers and parents for your cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Daniel Campbell Supervisor of Boys' Physical Education 176 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR. OF GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: — - In the girls' physical education program we teach sports lead -ups and skills, games of high and low organization, stunts, tumbling, rhythmic activities, self -testing activities, and body mechanics. The aims of physical education programs are to develop physical, mental, social, and emotional growth and well-being. The boys and girls in grades one and two meet once every other week for physical education in the two elementary schools, as do the girls in grades three, four and five.- In the Junior High the sixth grades meet once a week and the -seventh and eighth twice a week. In addition to our regular class periods, we have an Intra- mural Basketball Program for the seventh and eighth grade girls, one afternoon a week during the winter, and plan to have a similar softball program in the spring. Regardless of experience or skill any girl who is interested is made to feel welcome to be a part of this program. Each member will be able to play in one game weekly. in the tournament that is planned for the four teams into which the large group has been divided. From the . intramural teams :a group will be . selected to represent the school in a limited extra mural program. We feel that the skills they learn thru a varied program will remain through their lives as "Safety -valves" for reliev- ing tensions and as valuable tools for their use of leisure time and keeping themselves fit enough to maintain good posture and to do with ease the tasks of each day. The facilities in the new school are a delight to the chil- dren and me. Last spring I spent two profitable days at the Convention of the Massachusetts Association for Health, Physical Educa- tion and Recreation in Boston. It gave me an opportunity to exchange ideas with other Physical Education teachers and to keep up with current trends as well as to acquire new mate- rials and methods and theories. This report affords me a very welcome opportunity to express thanks to you, Mr. Kenyon, and to Mr. Osborne Bearse, for your help and guidance. 177 All the personnel in the three schools have been most co- operative and pleasant to work with. Respectfully submitted, Anne S. Emery Supervisor of Girls' Physical Education REPORT OF THE SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT-- Mr. EPARTMENT-Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of. Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon I am pleased to submit my annual report as school nurse for the Yarmouth Elementary Schools. My time is divided among the John Simpkins, South Yarmouth and West Yar- mouth Elementary Schools. Early in the school year students were weighed and measured. Annual physical examinations, as required by law, were given to children in Grades one, four and seven by the school physician Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse. Students in. Grades six and eight participating in physical fitness program were also examined by Dr. Howes. All health observations were recorded on cumulative health cards, by the nurse. Physical defects discovered during the examina- tions were reported to the parents. Routine eye and ear examinations were given to all stu- dents. Parents were notified of any defects found and most of them received prompt attention. Four Yarmouth students attended the Eye Clinic in Hy- annis, sponsored by the Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis Dis- trict Nursing Association. During the school year a f. -w requests from the family physicians of students for hearing tests to be given, were ful- filled and audio -grams with results were sent to the assigned. At this time I want to express my appreciation for the prompt and willing assistance given to worthy students by the Yarmouth Unit of the Lions Club. In closing, may I extend a sincere thank you to the School Committee, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, and all other school per- sonnel for the thoughtful consideration, received during my illness. Respectfully submitted, Marion E. Chapman, R.N. School Nur 178 ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: For the year ending December 31, 1964, I have investi- gated eleven (11) cases of truancy and made reports to the proper authorities in each case. Respectfully submitted, Marion E. Chapman, R.N. Supervisor of Attendance ' REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ADULT EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts . Dear Mr. Kenyon It is my pleasure to submit my fourth annual report of the Adult Education Program in the Town of Yarmouth. Registration, held on September 22, 23, and 24 from 7:00- 8:30 p.m. at the John Simpkins School was well attended this year as in the past, resulting in a total of 327 students en- 'l1ed — down from last year's all time high of 398. The adult education program in the Town of Yarmouth had, each year, continually experienced a high percentage of enrollment in- crease. Classes begin the week following registration, meet once a week, continue for 20 weeks, interrupted only by school vacations, and concluding approximatly on March 15th with an "open house exhibit". This year's open house was held for one full week in the student's respective classrooms allow- ing visitors an opportunity to not only view the results of the students' efforts but concomitantly to see the students at work on similar projects. I wish to welcome to our staff Mrs. Madelyn C. Eldredge who is the new physical fitness for women instructor, Mrs. Melva Clift our new beginning sewing teacher and Mrs. Betsy Hammond the new beginning oil painting instructor. Again this year I wish to extend thanks to my teaching staff, the custodians, and the secretary for their cooperation, to you, Mr. Kenyon as superintendent of the Yarmouth Schools for your thoughtfulness and sincere understanding of the adult program, and to the Yarmouth School Committee for 179 their belief and recognition of adult education as the fourth member of the public school family.
