Section 6. The Airport Commission and the Board of Selectmen for the Town of Yarmouth is hereby designated as the Administrative Agency charged with the duty of ad- ministering and enforcing the regulations herein prescribed.

The Committee investigated and, after inquiry felt that a minimum of $2.000.00 would be required to meet the re- quirements set forth in numbering the houses in the Town. The Committee recommends that the Article set forth in the 28 Warrant which would allow the expenditure of funds for this purpose be approved. requirement set forth from the In addition to being a req of houses in the Post Office Department, the numbering Town would result in many other obvious advantages.

The numbering of houses being a requirement for house to house mal. f ry service would also benefit the Town in making allproperty more convenient to locate.

(g) '`Tree", means a tree or other object of natural growth. Section 3. It is hereby declared that the existence of any airport hazard endangers the lives and property of the users of the Barnstable Municipal Airport and the occupant.; of the land in its vicinity. and effects a reduction of the 17 area available for the landing, taking off and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to impair the utility of the Airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly, it is neces- sary in the interest of public health, safety and general wel- fare that the creation, establishment or maintenance of air- port hazards be prevented by exercise of police power, with- out compensation to any person, except as herein specifically provided.

Section 5. The limitations prescribed in this by-law shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not con- forming to these regulations as of the effecting date thereof or otherwise interfere with the continuance on any such non- conforming use. Nothing herein contained shall be con- strued to permit any such non -conforming structure or tree to be substantially altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow or replanted so as to become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective date of this by-law. Section 6. The Airport Commission and the Board of Selectmen for the Town of Yarmouth is hereby designated as the Administrative Agency charged with the duty of ad- ministering and enforcing the regulations herein prescribed. The duties of such agency shall include that of hearing and deciding all permits under Section 7.- 18 .- 18 4 Section 7.

The following report was read. Report of the Committee under Article 94 of the 1956 Town Warrant Re: Letter Carrier House to House Delivery To the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth The Selectmen South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: January 31, 1957 Pursuant to an appointment by the Town Moderator, the following Committee was organized under the authority of Article 94 of the 1956 Town Warrant. The following members appointed, accepted and served as this Committee. John D. Healy William P. Frost Edward R. Barnes Henry R. Usher, Jr. Harold L. Hayes, Jr. The Committee organized and appointed John D. Healy as Chairman. Since the Article under which this Committee served had indicated that a petition be sent to the United States Post Office Department for city delivery service, the Committee prepared and submitted this request. Also un- der Article 95. United States Senator Leverett Saltonstall, United States Senator John F. Kennedy, and Congressman Donald W. Nicholson were notified and requested to use their hest efforts in furthering this cause. Meetings were held with representatives of the United State Post Office Department and the Committee was in- formed that it would be necessary to have all of the houses numbered before any further action could be taken by them. The Committee investigated and, after inquiry felt that a minimum of $2.000.00 would be required to meet the re- quirements set forth in numbering the houses in the Town. The Committee recommends that the Article set forth in the 28 Warrant which would allow the expenditure of funds for this purpose be approved. In addition to being a requirement set forth from the Post Office Department, the numbering of houses in the Town would result in many other obvious advantages. At present it is, at times, most difficult to instruct either friends or delivery. men or, in times cf emergency. doctors, as to the location of a particular house. The numbering of all of the houses being a requirement for house to house mail delivery service would also benefit the Town in making all of our property more convenient to locate. This is submitted as an interim since under -the terms of Article 94 it will be necessary for this Committee to function until the matter is successfully concluded. Respectfully submitted John D. Healy, Chairman William P. Frost Edward R. Barnes Henry R. Usher, Jr. Harold L. Hayes, Jr. Upon motion duly made and seconded it was voted to accept this report as a report of progress. • (See following Action on Article 64.) Acting under Article 64.

TAYLOR Town Clerk THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF OLD YARMOUTH The Historical Society of Old Yarmouth started its fourth summer with an open house held in its new home, the Cap- tain Bangs Hallet House on the Common in Yarmouth Port. The ground floor has been re -decorated and beautifully fur- nished with gifts to the Society and some lovely things that were lent to us. From June to September, Mrs. Mary Jackson and Miss Carolyn Couch of Boston were custodians of the house. We are proud to report that our visitors book records 1427 names, visitors who came from all over the United States and also from several foreign countries. All our visitors were much impressed by what had been accomplished in the short space of time and delighted by the efforts of the Society to preserve the treasures of the past. _ We have had three meetings of the Society this year. The first ofthese was held in February in Dennis Port and Mr. Lynwood Robbins spoke on the changes in the town from 1902 to the present day.. Mrs. Caroline Siebens spoke of the Cape Doctors and Miss Val Gendron showed drawings of the Mayflower Second. The second meeting was held in the Congregational Church in Yarmouth Port and Mr. Al- exander Wall spoke on Old Sturbridge and gave us some idea of the work entailed in starting a project of this kind. Miss Harriet Ryder read a paper on the church. The meet- ing was followed by a coffee hour at the Captain Bangs Hallet House. Our last meeting was held in the Methodist Church in South Yarmouth and Prof. Henry Kittredge spoke on the Sea Captains of Old Yarmouth. This was followed by cider and doughnuts served in the Parish House. In September the West Dennis Garden Club was asked if they would appoint a committee to plan and oversee the landscaping of the grounds. 'This they agreed to do and working with three members of. the Historical Society, a good start has already been made, which greatly improves the looks of the house. Great plans have been made for the future and we hope to see some of them take place this summer. On September 28th the West Dennis Garden Club had a beautiful exhibition of Fall flower arrangements at .a silver tea given at the Captain Bangs Hallet House in con- junction with the members of the Historical Society. This, we hope. will become an annual event. We held a most successful tour of old houses on August 9th that ended with open house and a tea at the Society's 63 headquarters. There was also an auction which was held at the Red Cottage to raise much needed funds for our work. We have many plans. Some of them are already taking shape. Mr. Arthur Alvin has formed a group of some thirty young people from the Regional School to dig for artifacts and relics of the Cape -Indians. -These are to be housed in the Red Cottage and willform the nucleus of an Indian Museum. We hope that some day we may be able to build a replica of an Indian Village so that visitors may see just how these earliest of Americans lived. Mr. Matthews Haslet of Yarmouth Port has presented to the Society, in memory of his father, Mr. T. T. Hallet, all the equipment of his old drug -store and this, too, is to beset up in the Red Cottage. We are sure that our visitors will be interested to see this next summer. - - - Last. but not least,- the Centerville Historical Society presented us with an old hearse, which was built about 1800. The difficulties of transportation seemed insurmountable, but were very kindly solved by Mr. John Sears, who not only moved ii to its new home, but enjoyed a ride on the box -seat and caused quite a stir in Yarmouth Port. At the present writing. we have about 350 members and we hope that this coming year will see that number greatly increased. It is vitally necessary for us to grow and to work hard and to work quickly, if we are to save the old, historical and lovely things that are left in our Town. Far too many of them have been sold off the Cape, have been destroyed or have just fallen apart for lack of care. We ask you to help us to preserve what is left and to keep it safe so that visitors to the Cape may see how our ancestors lived and worked in the Town of Old Yarmouth. ANN MAXTONE GRAHAM, President. PARK DEPARTMENT REPORT - 1957 To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: We hereby submit our report for the year 1957. Due to the extremely nice weather and the influx of visitors to this area. the Parks and Beaches enjoyed a very successful season. The following projects were completed during the year;' — comfort station, pavillion and long boardwalk at Center 64 Street, Yarmouth—seats installed on the concrete cap at the ! Town Beach—concrete boat ramp installed at Bay View Street Beach. These are but a few of the improvements which were accomplished in the Park system during the year of 1957. We are requesting funds for 1958 to begin the develop- , ment of Sea Gull. Beach, West Yarmouth. If this beach is 1 to be open for public useit is necessary that a comfort station by and Town water be installed. find As requested in the West us persons we are still trying a loca i Yarmouth area for a playground. We would welcome any suggestions for the betterment of any of our Parks and Beaches. We wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Board and the citizens of the Town fc.r their cooperation and interest in the past year. WILLIAM C. ANGELL - EDWARD A. JOHNSON WILLIAM B. LETTENEY, SR. Chairman 1 • REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMITTEE This past year the Fish and Game Committee with the help of the Junior Rod and Gun Club Members, have raised and liberated in the Town of Yarmouth 19 Cock Pheasant out of 20. Grain is being purchased by the Committee and .is dis- tributed free of charge through the Bass River Rod and Gun Club. This seed is mixed for song bird and the larger gram for the pheasant and quail. Those wanting grain can contact Eric George or Mat- thews C. Hallet of Yarmouthport or grain may be obtained at the Bass River Rod and Gun Club. Respectfully submitted, EDMUND FRUEAN HERMAN G. CURTIS MATTHEWS C. HALLET 65 ,r7 a APPEAL BOARD REPORT The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is my annual report as Chairman of the Board of Appeals. During the year 1957 there were nine matters presented for the consideration of the Board -of Appeals which are analysed as - follows: There were five requests for variances. Of these, three were granted and two were refused. One of the requests that was granted would have been allowed under the pro- visions of the zoning by-law as amended by the Town Meet- ing in 1957. The request was occasioned in order that work could be completed for the 1957 summer season. There were two requests for special permits which are authorized under our zoning by-law with the approval of the Board of Appeals. Both of -these requests were approved. There were also 'tworequests for extension of non- conforming uses. These requests were granted by the Board. I might state that it appears that in recent years the changes in our zoning by-law have been wisely adopted. This conclusion would appear warranted from the activity before the Board of Appeals. Of all of the activity it is most en- couraging to note that there were only five requests for variances. This reflects the adequacy of the present by-law. Respectfully submitted HAROLD L. HAYES, JR.. CHAIRMAN TREE WARDEN'S REPORT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town ,of Yarmouth: It gives me great pleasure to again report to you the results of our year's efforts. May I begin with our report concerning Poison Ivy eradication. Each summer we spend about two weeks 66 . 1 i 1 applying Esteron Brush Killer on. all poison ivy growth along town ways. A special power machine is used, designed and constructed by ourselves. As 50 pounds pressure is ample, a powerful machine is not necessary. The temperature must be above 70 degrees to obtain best results and occasionally a follow-up spray is necessary. Persons having ivy problems near town ways should contact me by letter, requesting that we spray. Our annual survey shows the pines have returned '.to a healthy condition.. after being so hard hit by the pine looper. We are fortunate indeed to have received outside aid, (such as the airplane spray project, carried out on a county -wide basis), in order to exterminate the insect I might state at this time that our hydraulic sprayer is 10 years old, and I have in mind asking for ,a modern mist blower. The hydraulic machine should not be cast aside, but can be used for fertilizing trees, and many small spray jobs throughout the season. We feel that the roadside spraying is giving us good protection in the controlling of the wood tick. It is im- possible to cover the entire town without an annual airplane spraying. but the roadside spraying cuts down any build-up of the insects. In regard to the Japanese BeFtle work, 5% Cblorodane Dust was applied to all town property lawns. Milky Disease Spore was also distributed at various hot -spots within the town. I believe that the decrease in the number of beetles this year can be attributed to the terrific drought that we had this summer. Dutch Elm Disease is our most Serious threat to the beauty of our town. Although we are keeping the loss to less than--2%—per year. we should continue fighting the dreaded disease in every possible way. This percentage is based upon the trees controlled by the town. This year through - the kindness of the Mary Thacher Estate Fund. we were allowed $1000.00 for the purpose of fertilizing. caring for, and replanting of trees, concentration being on the North side. In order to make the money avail- able, the amount was deposited in the Town Treasury, and then transferred into the Dutch Elm Account. A fertilizer known as Rapid -Gro was used, (which is soluable in water) being pumped into the root areas of the elms with the aid of the hydraulic sprayer. using a special rod gun. I believe that this was an excellent project, and greatly strengthened the trees. 67 This year, we catalogued all town -controlled elms, and have them filed as to street, height, and diameter, breast high. As an elm contracts the disease and has been removed, the card is marked with a red tab, and can be readily seen in the file. Now with the Tree Warden Report: As usual, we fer- tilized the small trees and found it necessary to water them during the extended drought. In some cases, no matter how much we watered, we still had losses. Even in the Nursery, with water going almost 24 hours every day, we lost more trees than any previous summer. I wish to thank the people who showed enough interest to water the trees directly in front, or on their property. This fall, through a concentrated appeal to home owners, we planted 126 trees on private property bordering ways within the town. I received 44 letters requesting that trees be planted. I wish to thank the Yarmouth Register for play- ing such a big part in the success of this venture. The Buz- zards Bay Gas Company used their advertising space to bring to your attention the possibility of acquiring the trees. I wish to personally thank them for their interest in the beauty of our town. The owner in each case was allowed to choose the type and specie of tree, and in many cases, it was left to my judgment. These trees were staked and guyed for the winter, and will be fertilized in the Spring. It,. was a most successful and satisfying project, and I hope to continue it in 1958. Again, I wish to thank you for allowing me to be your Tree Warden. I am always open for suggestions, so that we (you and I) will be proud of our town and feel that we are doing everything that we should to make it beautiful, and as free from insects as possible. I choose this type of a report because I feel that I have a story to tell and not just a list of figures to report. I hope _ that you will bear with me each year. Respectfully Submitted, -JOHN G.

BERTRAM KELLEY — Shellfish Constable REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: - In previous Civil Defense department reports, I have commented on the ever changing role Cape Cod, and Yar- mouth in - articular, would play in the event of a thereto - 69 1 nuclear attack on the metropolitan centers of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Once again, in light of the increased expansion and activity of Otis Air Force Base, which makes it a potential target area, plus the increased range, ease of manufacture and ability of assumed enemies to produce and stock -pile nuclear weapons, our primary role as a re- serve reception an a needs revamping. It must be considered and plans made accordingly that our Civil Defense mission will be one of self-preservation of our own community and mutual aid to other Cape Cod communities. This same role is adaptable to disasters caused by nature. Basically, the mission of Civil Defense is the teaching of self-preservation. If the individual knows how to take care of himself, and in turn his family, the problem of mass hysteria; panic and riot is lessened to a great degree: How- ever, and unfortunately, there are those individuals who will not learn or who, having learned, will not apply their knowl- edge. Then too, there is bound to be those who put self interest above the common good of the community. It is these three types of individuals who create a problem which need a trained Civil Defense staff to surmount. Besides the personnel problems. Civil Defense must have the ability to coordinate all activities and to solve or alleviate the many supply. evacuation, medical and rehabilitation problems with which we will be faced in a man made or natural disaster. To be able to surmount these various problems? your CD director this year has concentrated on establishing a trained staff. an Auxiliary police unit, sending some of the staff to training schools, obtaining necessary equipment and stock -piling certain emergency items obtained through the Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency from the State's Surplus Property warehouse. We have received, from the 'MCDA, two sets of radia- tion detection equipment which has been issued to the Police and Fire departments. Certain members of these two de- partments as well as members of the CD staff have gone to, a Radiac training school to learn the use of this equipment. Thcsc men in turn will instruct members of their units. The Police station has been equipped with a 10 KVA auxiliary power plant obtained through the State Surplus Property warehouse. This generator is more than adequate to carry the power load of the station at all times. The smaller portable generator, formerly used in the station, can now be used for flood lighting rescue scenes or for other emergencies where electric power is needed. 70 During 1957, a basic police course for auxiliary police- men ow e men was held with 20 enrolling and 15 graduating. Of 15, ten have been equipped withuniforms and accessories. In October of 1957, another basic course was started as well — £ _ as an intermediate course for those who completed the basic course. These courses are being conducted by the Yarmouth Police . department with_ Patrolman Richard . LaFrance in -- charge. Patrolman LaFrance is a graduate of the police of- ficers course given by the State Police and also attended a short course in Civil Defense police work given by the Mas- sachusetts Civil Defense Agency at its Topsfield Training center. A survey by Chief Herbert J. Jason and myself shows that a minimum of 40 trained auxiliary police would be needed in an emergency to cover just the traffic control points. Each year it has been necessary to report that we have a long way to go before Yarmouth has a completely trained and adequate Civil Defense department, and this year is no exception. However, we can report substantial progress in most phases of .CD work and look forward to 1958 with the knowledge that still more progress will be made in the or- ganizing, training and equipping your Civil Defense depart- ment.

NICKERSON 73 REPORT OF LITTLE LEAGUE Little League is here to stay — the intense popularity of the program has made it necessary to organize another team in our League, so that we now have five teams, giving fifteen more boys the chance to participate in scheduled inter -team games. A total of seventy-five boys lined up on the Little League field in full uniform, presenting a proud and colorful picture for our opening day exercises. The Bears, still under the management of Eldon Abra- hamson, are again the League Champions. This team has been a consistent winner, but the competition was stiff and their title was threatened right down to the final game. We were extremely proud of our All-Star team, who represented us so splendidly, showing what fine ball our boys play, when under the management of Clarence "Tut" Crosby, they took the Lower -Cape Championship, and lost only in the closest of contests in a play-off with Falmouth for the All -Cape Championship. Our Farm Team continues to show progress and gives many more boys the opportunity to get their first taste of organized baseball. Dick Grey did a fine job in this de- partment. = • We, the officers of Little League, wish to thank all who generously gave of their time and efforts in helping to sponsor this program so important to our Youth. As this goes to press we look for:iard to the 1958 Season with the anticipation of another most enjoyable and success- ful year. CHARLES O.

Taylor, and the Junior Rifle Club under the supervision of Sergeant Don- ald R. Flibotte, are proving to be successful and worth -while projects. The Police Athletic League, after approximately one year of existence, boasts a membership of some two hun- dred boys between the ages of eight and eighteen years, and the Junior Rifle Club, active the same period of time has a membership of approximately forty boys and thirty-five girls between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years. The boys of the P. A. L. group have been in competition in basketball, boxing, and weightlifting with boys of similar groups in the Towns of Bourne, Falmouth, and Province - town. and such competition is continuing. The boys and girls of the Rifle Club, after having been thoroughly trained in the handling of firearms are starting competition with similar Clubs in the Towns of Bourne, Sandwich, and Well - fleet. Much credit is due such men as Patrolmen Edwin F. Taylor. Everett W. Hope, Richard O. Marchant, • Richard H. Gray, Richard J. LaFrance, Sergeant Donald R. Flibotte, and 111 6 32 485 88 _266 26 33. 79 Deputy Chief Theodore P. Reynolds for the time and effort they have put into the training and suppervision of these projects, most of it being done on their own time and with- out pay. Patrolman Taylor in particular, since being ap- pointed Juvenile Officer, has done an outstanding job with the young people of th Town. These two projects, using the facilities of the police station practically every night of the week, plus the use of it by the Civil Defense Auxiliary Police group composed of some twenty-five men for training and schooling purposes tax the present available facilities to the utmost. Our gratitude and appreciation goes out to many of the merchants and- people of the town who have contributed money and merchandise to assist the P. A. L. and Junior Rifle Club in their work. I would like, too, to express the gratitude and apprecia- tion of this Department to the other Town Departments for their co-operation and assistance through the year 1957 which has helped immeasurably in making our work easier and more pleasant. and to the people of the Town for their co-operation and support.

This happened when the operator of a motor vehicle, riding alone, on a very hot day in. July, went across the highway to his left and rammedthe concrete abutment of an over- pass foundation. being killed instantly. After investigation it was decided that the operator, having travelled in the heat of the day for a long distance, had fallen asleep. The evidence would indicate that persons operating for long distances on highways such as the Mid -Cape highway on which there are very few obstacles, such as intersections. turns, or curves. and on which continuous speed is held and the same approximate tone of motor drone is experienced would do well to stop occasionally, leave the vehicle and walk around for a few minutes, and then continue, especial- ly during the excessively hot days. While police officers on traffic patrol might be able to spot, and control, excessive speed, cutting in and out of traffic, and other such visible violations it is almost impos- sible for them to spot a tired and drowsing operator who may be_mar the_ dangerous edge of falling asleep. Yearly, too, with motor vehicles being turned out on the roads with steadily increasing power plants officers on patrol see the speeds of operation steadily climbing. The. higher the speeds. along with the habit of following other vehicles at too close a distance, are the cause of a. great many of the accidents, especially during the summer months when traffic is extremely heavy on our Cape roads. No better indication of this is evident than in the fact that approximately one-third of the accidents which happened in this Town were caused by vehicles following too closely other vehicles. 82 I would like, at this time, to express the appreciation of this Department to the Massachusetts State Police per- sonnel of the South Yarmouth Barracks, under Sergeant Charles W. Eager, and the personnel of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, under Mr. Earl H. Whittemore, for their co-operation and assistance in the handling and investigation of accidents, and also in traffic enforcement. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT J. JASON, Chief of Police. REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit my report for the year. 1957.

Respectfully Submitted GORHAM P. HOMER 83 REPORT ' DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN'S SERVICES TOWN OF YARMOUTH District Board: Selectmen - Victor F. Adams, Barnstable - Howard B. Monroe, Yarmouth - Earle M. Davidson, Dennis The following is a report of the Department of Veterans' Services during the year 1957. As this is a District and the only one with a full time office staff on the Cape, we are called on many times during the year for information and procedure in filing claims for direct aid, also Veterans Administration Services, beyond our District. I feel we are obligated to do this as a part of the State organization. Our first duty is to the Veteran and his dependents, and although this aid goes beyond District lines and does add to the District expense: we are glad to aid whenever possible. HOSPITALIZATION As our Veterans' rolls increase, medical costs and care in private hospitals also increase and it becomesapparent that unless the Veterans Administration adds to its facilities for Veterans' care, this cost is going to reflect in the annual budgets of both the Towns and the State. This matter is being given serious consideration by our State Department. through correspondence with the Veterans Administration so that additional beds may become available in the very near future, especially for domiciliary and terminal cases. LOANS AND HOUSING Although the Congress did extend the time for loans to World War II Veterans to July 1958, most banks have already closed down on 41/x%0 loans and unless the Veterans Admin- istration changes its policy and makes loans direct to the veteran as has been suggested by our Commissioner of Vet- erans' Services, the average veteran is going to have little chance of getting a loan to start him toward buying his own home under the present system. As Agent for the Town of Yarmouth, I wish to express my appreciation to the Selectmen and other departments of the Town for their cooperation in securing records and other data when requested. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MILNE Director and Agent 84 REPORT OF THE - BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT January 2, 1958 Board of Health Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: .. . I beg to submit this report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1957. The vaccine program for the prevention of poliomyelitis was continued during the year. The vast majority of chil- dren who had previously received two doses of the vaccine were given a third dose, and by the end of the year, a high proportion of our population under twenty years of age had been vaccinated. Only one mild non -paralytic case of the disease was reported during the year. However, it should be noted that services for crippled persons who suffered the effects of the disease in previous years, chiefly during the year 1955, were continued. This involved additional demands on the Crippled Children's Service and on the funds raised by the local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Services in sanitation, nursing, child guidance and dental hygiene were carried out during the year at about the usual level.

Dur- ing the period from May to November many communities, in Mass; including some on the cape, placed restrictions on the use of water. We were forced. for a period of approximately one month. to place restrictions on the use of water because the water pressure had dropped from a normal 70 lbs. to about 50 lbs. These restrictions were accepted by the public general- ly, and as a result. the strain on our pumping facilities were greatly. reduced. We wish to recognize the splendid cooperation of the water consuming public in the matter of these restrictions, and we want you to know we are grateful. There are two problems confronting the department at this time. One is the unexplained difference in the work- ing time of the two pumping stations. The pumping station at Union Street pumps 24 hours some days while the pumps at Abel's Road will only work 8 to 10 hours. We have engaged the firm of Whitman and Howard to make a pre- liminary study of this problem and develop a solution. Our second problem is the deterioration of our water pipe that lies under the marsh between Crowell Road and South Sea Ave.. in West Yarmouth. Some chemical in the marsh ap- parently is corroding the pipe. This deterioration has caused many breaks in the pipe and according to our maintenance charts is costing us a good sum of money each year. On advice of our consultants, we are . abandoning the pipe of water main across the marsh. It will be necessary to.. place some 8" pipe in another location to minimize the 87 effect of the two dead ends which will result in the aban- donment of this line. The $15,000.00 which the town voted for water mains under a 10% guarantee of revenue some two years ago has been used. This year we are asking for a similar amount for the same purpose. Our operating and maintenance budget this year is some $3,000.00 less than last year. It includes a 5% cost of living increase in salary for our permanent personnel. We are asking for $9,000.00 to be used to drive test wells and acquire land when a good source of water is found. We are going to ask the Engineers to look particul- arly in the area of North Main Street and Great Western Road for this water. This area is in the preliminary stage of development, and realizing the need of our people in the Knob Hill and Driftwood sections, we feel strongly that any new water supply should be in this area so that it could serve some of our people who now do not have town water. - In closing, the Commissioners want you to know that we will continually endeavor to give you a good water de- partment, and we welcome your constructive .:riticism of our stewardship.

Gratitude for the new room. and_book— shelves that was completed in July when the rest rooms were brought from the basement to the first floor of the Community Building dividing the space that had previously been used by the American Legion Yarmouth Post #197 and the Boy Scout Troop. Pride, that we can report a con- tinued growth to warrant the need of the new room. Circulation totaled 11,684, an increase of 1008 over 1958. Adult total 5292. Junior total 3955. Magazines and paper covers 2437. The Library was open 104 days averaging a daily cir- culation of 112. The Book Committee purchased 253 volumes. We added 89 113 gift books and we have a number more to be added when time permits. We greatly appreciate 40 volumes of non-fiction which Yarmouth Library has again generously loaned to us. Our Ways and Means Committee had two Bridge Par- ties, a Trash and Treasure Sale and a Book Review combined with a Silver Tea which added considerably to our Treasury. Coffee was served on several evening . Library hours during the winter which offered warmth and friendliness. The book chute has been very popular and a great con- venience to our borrowers. It is interesting to note that it has not cut our overdues as was expected. Our sincere thanks to the Selectmen for their kind con- sideration and to the taxpayers for their support. Respectfully submitted MAE A. ROBINSON Librarian and Treasurer. REPORT OF SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth, Mass: Gentlemen: At the end of ten years as librarian of the South Yar- mouth Library, I am happy to report for 1957 another year of growth in the circulation of books and magazines, in num- bers of borrowers, and in expansion of services to the com- munity. Ttal circulation of books and magazines Gain Magazines circulated Gain Adult circulation Adult non-fiction — Gain . Juvenile circulation Average daily circulation New borrowers - Adult Juvenile 18,420 520 1,190 121 12,135 4,252 486 6,285 122 268 186 82 regular Latest card number was 2,338. New services or continuations by the library include 90 i book circulationto nursing home and other shut-ins; gift of duplicate books to Nantucket Lightship, and to the Coast Guard. 672 books were added to the library and 317 were with- drawn. 268 books were given to the library, including a set of the Harvard Classics'. 485 adult books were added and 187 juvenile ; of these 345 were fiction and 327 non- fiction. Books in library on Jan. 1, 1958 are 11,261. 50 books were borrowed from Brookline, Division of Library Extension in Boston, and from Newton. We spent on books and magazines $887.81. Average expense of a book was $1.21 or 50 cents less than the average cost in 1956, rather amazing considering the constantly increasing cost of books. Most of the juvenile non-fiction was ordered by subscription to Landmark Books, All About Books, and to the Wilson Co. series "Reference Shelf" of .books on current problems. These have proven very useful in the work with young people of high school age. Subscriptions to the Literary Guild, Junior Literary Guild, and the Young People's Div- ision of the Literary Guild have also helped to keep down cost of books. Members of the Library Association number 234. All Cape Cod activities realize that the unusually fine vacation weather of last summer resulted in increased num- bers of visitors. Libraries benefitted as did the Cape Cod economy in general. About 200 visitors signed our guest book from all parts of the United States and Canada. Many summer visitors took out library cards and joined the Library Association. Because of our well-rounded book collection we were able to fill requests for books on reading lists from private schools and colleges. Story hours for children have included those for Cub Scouts. Brownies, Grades 1-4, and for pre-school children. The librarian has given radio talks, book talks, and has been actively identified with the Council of Historical So- cieties of the Cape and Islands. and with Historical Society of Old Yarmouth. We celebrated in the library the ob- servance of the Spring Book Festival and of Book Week in November. The library and its visitors have much appreciated the extra land given by the Town, which has made possible the' further beautification of the grounds and gardens. During the summer the Old Mill was open once a week for a library benefit. An outstanding event of the year was the presen- tation to the library of the portrait of Dr. George Tupper, so 91 mil long a friend and worker in the library. The artist was Mr. . Roy Best. Friends of the Library made the presentation at a tea in the library in October. Our chief prubiem is the crowded condition of the build- ing. We hope to relieve this temporarily by shelves in the former Museum Room on the second floor. ANN MAXTONE GRAHAM Chairman of the Library Board. Signed. CAROLINE R. SIEBENS Librarian REPORT OF YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth, Mass. - Gentlemen: One of the two major projects being planned by the Trustees of the Yarmouth Library Association is the micro- filming of the volumes of the Yarmouth Register. The Library owns one hundred twenty bound volumes of this local paper. The housing of these large books has always been a serious and worrisome problem. They should be kept in a dry, fireproof room equipped with a humidifier in order to properly preserve the printed pages. Each volume should be placed on an individual shelf to prevent warping of the hard covers. The shelves should be roller -type to make these over -sized volumes more accessible. The Trustees feel that these Registers contain very valuable records and historic information interesting to peo- ple of our Town and of the Cape. They do not feel, how- ever. that they can afford such an e_vpensive addition. Our wonderfully active group • Friends of the Yar- mouth Library - is interested in assisting the Trustees in this project. At one of their meetings they invited repre- sentatives from the Companies of Remington Rand and Recordak to explain microfilming to us. We were given to understand, by each Representative that the rolls of films, covering one hundred twenty years. would require a very_ small space for storage. The Recordak • Company would send the positive film to us and the negative film would be stored in a vault in an 92 old iron mine in New York State. '1 his vault .is fully pro- tected from fire, flood, hurricane and earthquake. Even, as far as possiule, it is bomb -proof. This would assure us of having a permanent record in case our films were destroyed by fire or the elements. " If the other two Libraries wished, they could purchase, at a lower cost, duplicate prints from the negative. With viewers in each Library the people of the entire Town would then have access to the information contained in the Registers. The second project at the Yarmouth Port Library is the addition of a Mary Thacher Memorial Wing. This room is to house books for children and young adults and to pro- vide a more adequate area in which to hold meetings, chil- dren's story hours and parties. Included in the Architect's plans is space for office for the Librarian, public lavatory and storage. There is, also, we think, an excellent plan for future expansion. For the time when there will not be a resident Librarian, it- pro- vides for razing of the dwelling and in its place the build ng of stack rooms. Then. too. room will probably be reserved for the storage of the original volumes of the Yarmouth Register. The children's story hours; held on alternate Saturday afternoons, have been increasingly successful. The Holiday parties, when Miss Small has been assisted by mothers of the children, have been happy occasions. Miss Marguerite Small is doing outstanding work with the children and as a result there has been a marked increase in juvenile circulation. Having the Library open on one evening a week is final- ly rewarding with a satisfactory gain in attendance. Again we are grateful to the taxpayers for their support of the Library Articles and to the Selectmen for their con- tinued interest in Library problems. Because of this we are able to make needed repairs and improvements and offer better service to the borrowers. - Respectfully submitted, MARTHA WHITE, Librarian 93 REPORT OF COLLECTOR 1955 Real Estate Commitments $ 1263.60 Refunds 71.76 $ 812.24 71.76 451.36 $ Real Estate Collections $ Abatements Tax Titles _ Outstanding December 31, 1957 1955 Personal Property Commitments $ Rescinded Personal Property Collections Abatements 1335.36 1335.36 000.00 246.48 23.92 $ 270.40 $ 90.48 179.92 1955 Moor Vehicle and TraDecember iler 1957 Excise Commitments Rescinded Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Collections Abatements $ 180.13 4.67 • $ 4.67 180.13 Outstanding December 31, 1957 1956 Real Estate Commitments $ 37752.44 Refunds 324.52 • Real Estate Collections $ 33084.41 Abatements 470.92 Tax Titles 4521.63 Outstanding December 31, 1957 1956 Personal Property Commitments $ Refunds Rescinded Personal Property, Collections Abatements $ 270.40 000.00 .$ 184.80 $ 184.80 000.00 $ 38076.96 $ 38076.96 • 000.00 7028.42 163.48 43.92 $ 7235.82. _ $ 6486.74 623.10 $ 7109.84 Outstanding December 31, 1957 94 1956 Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Commitments Refunds Rescinded Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Collections Abatements $ 16093.99 1255.94 43.89 $ 14454.92 2938.90 Outstanding December 31, 1957 1956 Poll Tax Commitments $ Refunds Rescinded Poll Tax Collections Abatements Auditor's adjustment Outstanding December 31, 1957 1957 Real Estate Commitments $819517.30 1799.28 122.00 4.00 2.00 62.00 62.00 4.00 Refunds Real Estate Collections Abatements Tax Titles $785336.18 7111.44 1120.98 Outstanding December 3, 1957 1957 Personal Property Commitments Refunds Personal Property Collections Abatements $ 93048.59 213.01 $ 85773.64 1157.87 Outstanding December 31, 1957 1957 Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Commitments Refunds $ 69395.19 2642.87 Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Collections $ 61016.19 Abatements 5078.86 $ 125.98 f Outstanding December 31, 1957 95. $ 17393.82 $ 17393.82 000.00 $ 128.00 $ 128.00 000.00 $821316.58 $793568.60 27747.98 $ 93261.60 $ 86931.51 $ 6330.09 $ 72038.06 $ 66095.05 $ 5943.01 1 1957 Poll Tax Commitments Refunds Rescinded $ 3326.00 12.00 4.00 Poll Tax Collections $ 2690.00 Abated 642.00 Outstanding December 31, 1957 HARRY M.

A: HAROLD CASTONGUAY Chairman 96 PLANNING BOARD REPORT FOR 1957 It is the policy of the Planning Board to enforce without deviation all Zoning By -Laws which come under its juris- diction. To do otherwise would be a breach of faith with the voters of Yarmouth and might infringe on the functions of other departments concerned with ' zoning. The Board feels that strict enforcement shows the value of our Zoning By -Laws and, if. changes are necessary, they should be made in the By -Law by the voters and not in the Planning Board's interpretation. The Planning Board shall continue to examine our Zoning By -Laws in this light and from time to time shall recommend changes needed to keep our By= Laws up to .date. - - – The rules and regulations of the Planning Board are another subject entirely. A brief explanation might be help- ful. They are .not By -Laws of the Town. but are adopted- by the Planning Board according to law. It is our policy to insist that - sub -dividers comply where possible, but the Planning Board may waive a regulation if it is a physical impossibility or imposes hardship beyond intention. In all such cases. however, substitute corrective conditions have been agreed to between the Planning Board and the sub- divider. Although your Planning Board wishes to be helpful and co-operative, it is the responsibility of the sub -divider applicant to inform himself fully of applicable By -Law's --- and Planning Board regulations andconform to them when submitting plans for the Board's approval. This would help all concerned in getting quicker action. Copies of the Plan- ning Board's rules and regulations and of the Zoning By -Laws are available at the Town, Clerk's office. This marks the first full year of the new road rules and regulations. It is with some satisfaction that we can report no evidence of a slow -down in sub -divisions attributable to these regulations. Developers. builders and engineers have shown their co-operation in ironing: out the details of thi' _program. It is still too early to evaluate the effectiveness of these regulations in producing better roads at less ex- pense to the Town, but at year's end your Board is more firmly convinced they will in the long run help our Town greatly without causing undue hardship to anyone. The Planning Board attended the organizational meet- ing of the Cape Cod Planning Board Association. Since the Town of Yarmouth has voted to join a regional planning unit should one be set up on Cape Cod, the Planning Boatel made it clear to those present that as a town, we are still 97 in favor of Regional Planning as -originally proposed, but because key towns required for this regional unit had not seen fit to participate, it appears a forlorn hope for the present. However, your Planning Board felt the Association is a good step in the right direction and voted to join and participate in the Cape Cod Association of Planning Boards. In regard to the new Industrial Zones established last year, we are encouraged to see that some activity is taking place in the form of small industries setting up for produc- tion. It was apparent that Yarmouth's Zoning filled a need which neighboring towns could not. We do not expect a great boom of industrial growth in these areas bqt as stated before, we believe they are necessary to the good planning and growth of Yarmouth and Cape Cod as a whole. Most of what we read and hear of industrial zoning on Cape Cod makes apparent the wisdom of this early move in Yarmouth. Your Planning Board hopes to see a steady, healthy growth in these areas in the future to benefit the Town's economy while protecting our present and future residential areas. During this past year the Planning Board has approved 12 sub -divisions, denied 2 sub -divisions, and acted on 31 "approvals not required." These actions are more than enough to absorb the regular Planning Board meeting on the 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings of each month. Each sub -division requires a preliminary and final hearing and each "approval not required" requires study to be sure that Zoning By -Laws and regulations are not being abused unintentionally. The Planning Board has held many extra meetings with Selectmen, Park Commissioners, Road Surveyor, etc., to in- sure co-operation between departments which affect the manner and direction in which our Town is growing. These meetings have done much to advance ideas from one depart- ment to another for joint consider'.tion and action. Such sub- jects as marinas and maritime development of our natural water facilities, locations of proposed new parks and recrea- tion areas, and proposed road taking for future town use are some of the subjects of these joint meetings. The Planning Board has made a start on the problem of residential district zoning. We feel that as a Board we are more familiar with the Town's problems than any out- side professionalgroup that we might employ to do this job. We are of the opinion that our first-hand knowledge of the Town's growth and direction will make up for what we might -lack in professional training and save taxpayers' money. 98 Using such departments as the town engineer, building in- spector, etc., we hope to present a workable plan of resi- dential district zoning for your consideration during the next year. These new residential districts would differ in lot sizes, set -backs, restrictions, etc. to maintain and up -grade the existing character of residential districts and protect home owners' real estate value whether\ it be large or small. In the coming year we shall try to clarify by new laws the position of home businesses in residential districts. This is an acute problem facing all persons doing business from or at their homes. It would seem at the present time that the main protection a homeowner has against expanding home business is complaint to the. authorities. This places the bur- den of enforcing protective zoning on you or your neighbor which. in the opinion of the Planning Board,is unjust The Planning Board extends an invitation to all those with ideas about changes or additions to our Protective Zoning By -Laws to come and discuss their ideas with us to avoid duplication of effort and to keep your Planning Board informed on the voters' thinking on the subject of zoning. In this way, we can be of help to each other. RICHARD K. JOHNSON, Chairman For the Planning Board REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31. 1957 Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: I hereby submit my report as Inspector of \Vires for the Town of Yarmouth for the year 1957. Approximately 510 inspections were made, for which I traveled about 4,100 miles. . Respectfully yours, EDMUND FRUEAN, JR. Inspector of Wires 99 1,1 1 REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSION Once again we are happy to report that the 1957 income from the Bass River Golf Course substantially exceeded pre- vious earnings as indicated in the following schedule: 1957 $42,224.00 1956 38,083.00 1955 29,877.50 We are conscious that the major portion of our annual income must be obtained during July and August. A cold, wet summer could spoil our earning record. On the other hand, last summer's drought permitted near maximum use of `':c course and also presented maintenance problems great- er reater than previous years. This latter item prompted our present plans for completing our basic irrigation system during the coming year. On November 25th, 1957 a fire of undetermined origin completely destroyed our clubhouse. This disaster made the formulating of replacement plans a matter of immediate concern. It also presented an opportunity to consider a dif- ferent clubhouse location. After a great deal of research and advice, professional and otherwise, it was decided to build on the bluff near the present 17th green. It is our belief that this change will help modernize. our layout, enable us to load up our course more quickly during peak periods and, at the same time, reduce some present and future maintenance costs. Because of our recent fire experience, we are very con- scious of a potential fire loss in connection with valuable equipment stored in our present maintenance shed. This building must be replaced some time soon and voters of our Town will be given an opportunity at the 1958 Town Meeting to determine whether this should be done now or later. Articles filed in the 1958 Town Warrant have been touched on in the above report with the exception of our usual request for funds for ordinary operating expenses. More information on all of these articles will be avail- able at the Town Meeting. - NYE CROWELL, Chairman OSCAR W. DOANE. JR. DARRELL R. SHEPHERD LLOYD L. SIMMONS . PETER M.

MONROE WILLIAM P. FROST HENRY R. DARLING Board of Assessors BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE There were again many changes in the 1957 laws, rules and regulations which affected the Public Assistance pro- gram. The majority of these revisions benefited the recipients, thereby increasing the expenditures of this Department. Among these were: _ _ _ _ Hospital rates Basic items in the State Standard Budget Cost of living adjustment Funeral and Burial expenses Dental services Prosthetic appliances Nursing Home Rates A change in the Social Security law relative to Federal Reimbursements resulted in an immediate revision of the State Plan which, in order to obtain the maximum amount of Federal monies, created a tremendous amount of additional paper work at the local level of administering Public As- sistance. - The following tables give you financial information in regard to each category of assistance.

This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz. Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, HERMAN B. DINE Director of Accounts Mr. Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town collector of .the_ town of Yarmouth for the period from December 1, 1956, the date of the pre- vious examination to- June 25, 1957, preparatory to the trans- fer of the books and accounts to the newly elected collector, and report thereon as follows: The books and accounts in the office of the town col- lector were examined. and checked in detail. The taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise. departmental, and water accounts outstanding according to the previous audit, as well. as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved with the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant such credits, the transfers to the tax title accounts were checked, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved. The outstanding accounts were verified by ' sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are substantially correct. The total amounts outstanding were given to the de- partments concerned for use in preparing the recommit- ments for the new collector, and detailed lists of all the outstanding accounts were prepared for the new collector's use. The surety bonds furnished by the new collector for the faithful performance of his duties were examined and found to be in proper form. There are appended to this report tables. showing a re- conciliation of the collector's cash and summaries of the 107 1 -z, 1 ftJ tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, departmental, and water accounts. During the progress of the audit 'cooperation was ex- tended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

Wilbur, Chairman Mrs. Marjorie B. Kelly, Secretary Edward W. Ambrose Wallace C. Liberty 130 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee of 'Yarmouth: . I herewith submit my twelfth report as Superintendent of Schools and the sixty-sixth report in the series of annual reports of the Union Superintendent of Schools in Brewster, Yarmouth and Dennis. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. In the elementary school basic or tool subjects are as much of concern today as they were in the past. The kinder- garten isthat part of our educational program that provides for the transition of children from the home into school life. Here. children learn to adjust themselves socially with other. children, work and play become a cooperative effort, and the realization of responsibility becomes evident. There is no doubt as to the importance of kindergarten in a well rounded educational program. In grades one through eight the acquisition of thefun- damental processes for each individual takesplaces with the objective of success to the limit of a pupil's ability and capacity. Elementary education is inclusive of reading; writ- ing, arithmetic, social studies and science. Emphasis should also be given to physical education, health, safety and the cultural subjects art and music. The need of acquiring good work habits at this level is also recognized.. HIGH SCHOOL Yarmouth students in grades nine through twelve are now attending the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. The Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is. one of the most modern in the country and has fulfilled all expecta- tions as far as housing an adequate program of secondary education is concerned. The physical aspects of the plant and grounds speak for themselves. The auditorium with adequate stage facilities. the gymnasium, the cafeteria, meet- ing rooms, athletic and recreational areas have already been used by community organizations. The educational program. on this level, offered to the young people of Dennis, Yarmouth, Brewster is extensive. Subject matter fields made permissible by law are offered; in fact, it may be said that each subject and co -curricula ac- tivity are available to all pupils. However, the actual path followed by a pupil throughout his high school career de- pends on his capacity, ability, need, his interest, and his willingness to accomplish the task. -131 The • guidance program is under The .direction -of a well qualified; experienced, understanding director. Excellent work- is being done with pupils in helping them to chart their course not only in high school but in future fields of work or higher education after graduation. With reference to the high school curriculum, it is well to mention that not only are the so called basic or constant subject matter fields such as English, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign languages offered but programs in the field of business, industrial arts, homemaking, physical education art and music are available. Participation in many co -curricular subjects known as clubs, musical and art organ- izations, athletics and numerous other activities during and after regular school hours is possible. A course offering classroom and on the road driving is included. The school program of each pupil is an individual mat- ter. Cooperative effort on the part of the pupil, the home, and the school is essential. - NO SCHOOL SIGNAL It is the policy of the School Committee to close school only in cases of extreme weather conditions. Many pupils are transported to school and conditions in the several parts of the town may vary so that it may be difficult to reach a decision that is equally fair to all pupils. -- Therefore, when it has been decided to keep the schools open on stormy days, parents are urged to . exercise-their-- personal xercise-their---personal judgment as to the wisdom of sending their chil- dren 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 the day in question. EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATE 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. Education certificates for boys and girls between the age of sixteen and eighteen may be issued at the Regional High School. Personal application must be made and evidence of date and place of birth and grade of school last completed must be presented. CONCLUSION The past year has been one of accomplishment and satis- faction. We have been fortunate in obtaining and maintain- ing an excelleirt staff - outstanding teaching prevails in our 132 class rooms ; attention to many . details associated with the safety and health of our children has . been of conceit a ; the care of the buildings and grounds by persons interested in their work is gratifying. I wish to express my appreciation to the School Com- mittee for its sincere concern and understanding of the prob- lems confronting public school education. No individual or one department may progress successfully alone. Ours is a common task. Respectfully submitted, ALFRtD R. KENYON Superintendent of Schools 133 Name YARMOUTH EL. SCHOOL Osborne W.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I herewith submit my first annual report as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary School. I would like first to acknowledge the assistance given to me by my predecessor, Mr. Robert Bragg, who, during his eight years at Yarmouth, had organized and directed a very fine school program. My thanks are extended to the people of Yarmouth, the school personnel, and others who expressed their good wishes on my election as the new principal of the Yarmouth Ele- mentary School. Many changes have taken place during this first year. Withthe opening of the new Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School, the overcrowding of the elementary school was eliminated. The kindergarten, with an enrollment of seven- ty-eight, and grades one through four, with an enrollment of three hundred seventy-eight, are in the new elementary school building. Grades five through eight, with an en- rollment of three hundred fifty-two, are attending their classes at the John Simpkins building. The new kindergar- ten. under the direction of Mrs. Delight Engleman assisted by Miss Eliz:.beth Spencer, has proved very successful. 1 am sure the children attending it will have accomplished many objectives by the end of the school year. A special class for pupils in the upper -grade levels was started in September to give pupils with handicaps a better opportunity to learn by offering them more individual attention and such activities as are adapted to their needs. Mr. George Armeson has been directing this program. Each building now has an auditorium for assemblies, 141 vocal and instrumental music programs. and social events. In the past it has been necessary to use these areas as class- rooms. The gymnasium, athletic fields. and fine shop at the John Simpkins building are being put to good use in physical education and industrial arts for grades five through eight. Grades seven and eight are departmentalized with four divisions in the eighth grade and two in the seventh grade. The curriculum and program are designed to give each pupil a chance to acquire the necessary tools of learning to achieve success both in high school and as members of the community. For the coming year plans are being made to improve the testing and guidance program for the elementary grades. to expand the library facilities,. to increase the number of visual aids. and to amplify the course of study in industrial arts. Eighth grade activities have included a class election, which followed the democratic procedure used by towns in voting. and a very successful social dance. Mr. John Lucey, social studies teacher, is faculty advisor. This year has been one of almost complete reorganiza- tion for the elementary school. New facilities have been made available in many areas of activity and learning; new teachers have been added to the staff; the curriculum has been enriched. I feel that much has been accomplished in .a short space of time. The future of the Yarmouth Ele- mentary School should be one of great progress. I would like to express my thanks to the members of the teaching staff; to Mrs. William Chapman. the school nurse; to Mr. Gregory Drake, the assistant principal; to the cafeteria managers, Mrs. Howard Garton and Mrs. William Keveney, and their assistants; also to the custodians for their cooperationand assistance during the school year. The per- sonnel of the Yarmouth Elementary School certainly inspires one, as each in his own way gives of his talents to make a splendid Yarmouth Elementary School. In closing, may, I express to you as superintendent and to the school committee my thanks for the cooperation and support I have received during my first year as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary School. Respectfully submitted, OSBORNE W. BEARSE, Principal 142 - REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ART Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon:. From one central school system in New York State to a system in Macsachusetts which overs five schools has, a hus far, been a very stimulating and challenging experience. va been not e school superintendent, principals. and faculty have only co-operative but friendly and courteous above and be- yond the call of duty. Fortunately. for the children of the Town of Yarmouth, Mr. Blanchard, my predecessor, set up an excellent program which had as its primary objective the creative urge of the child. This is the objective of your present art department as well, and the task is clearly one of continuing along these lines. It does, however, seem indicated that the use of. more crafts at the junior and senior high school level would be of much benefit. Psychologists have found that the satis- faction resulting from the creationat that age, d aucutifurs ull objects is particularly gratifying g have been quick to grasp the fact and inculcate these pro- cesses in the curriculum. It could be iggnn�fof iccant orkhere oe that 'we might find a ready outlet for this type Cape Cod. The financial outlay for such items s as kilnmiger working tools. a copper enameling kiln, 'a pottery prove to be small in proportion to the return it might bring the community. It is the intention of the art supervisor to hold an art exhibit in the spring when you may see what we have done and are doing. Our warm invitation will be extended to you at the appropriate time. Sometimes we, as parents,are inclined to look upon art in the school as one of the extras, onefrills. io. study in when we think that art is one of very few fields in which our child may be completely himself—entirelyoppon individual; that in his art workhis fears he has the asp tions we express his hopes, his joys. wonder if it should really be a minor and incidental part of the curriculum t In conclusion, my sincere appreciation goes . to each and 143 all for your interest and co-operation in regard to the art department. Respectfully submitted, PAULINE L. HOPKINS Supervisor of Art REPORT 'OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred: R. Kenyon • Superintendent of . Schools' Bass River Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: Band work is started at the fourth grade level. The pupils receive two lessons a week during school time. In- struction is given in the use of the tongue, breathing, and - manipulating the fingers to produce a tone. The pupilisalso taught the names of the lines, spaces, and note values. After a period of study a band group is formed. With time and practice the group reaches a proficiency where it can make public appearances. I wish to thank all for the fine cooperation that I have received during the past year. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. LaPORTE, JR. Supervisor of Instrumental Music REPORT OF VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred: R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Sir: It is very gratifying to start the school year each Sep- tember, andsee how much each class has retained through the summer. Especially so, because of the amount of time I . have to spend in each room is so limited. Last year, separate grades put on programs in their respective rooms. .In March. Grades. 4, 5, and 8 presented their annual operetta, "Rip Van Winkle". This year, with 144 the additional room, both auditoriums are used, and all classes in both schools participated in singing in the Thanks- giving Assemblies. Throughout . the grades I try to strive for the "keeping together" in -. music. In the lower grades it is keeping to- gether in unison—at the same level or pitch. At this age, "togetherness" •is also accomplished through the rhythm band or folk dancing—or choric reading, which is used to develop rhythm in speaking. Third grade continues unison singing. Flutophone classes give the basic band elements for playing together. To further this idea, I combine the Rhythm Band and the flutophones, which was_ done at the May Concert. The fourth and fifth grades start with musical rounds and chords to build up the idea of singing together in 2 parts, which leads to part singing. At the Junior High level, I am most interested in the changing voice, for which we use the Italian word .` `cambiata", which means changing voice. It is still the singing_ together that counts. Adding this idea of singing together with other subjects offers many natural and effective opportunities of correla- tion. For example, a third grade was reading their text- book. "If I Were Going", in which' they visited several countries. For their Christmas program, "If I Were Going At Christmas", using carols of the different countries, broad- ened both the reading and music, and they learned more - about the countries as well. Music can be integrated with any subject as long as it preserves its own standards of taste and aesthetic values. Areas of easiest integration are with: - • A. Physical Education ani Music - 1. Folk dancing 2. Rhythm training 3. Interpretive dancing 4. Operetta projects - - B. Science and Music _ .. 1. Birds 2. Animals . 3. Insects 4. Circus projects • C. Geography and Music 1. Folk songs of other countries 2. Countries of various composers 3. Countries of various instruments 4. Countries of different dances 5. Songs about mountains in Switzerland, and other geographical elements. 145 6. Anything that brings music and geography closertogether, and integrates both into life, and makes the children feel they are . studying about something real. D. Music and History 1. Holidays 2. Patriotic songs—our own and other coun- tries 3. Indian songs and dances 4. Historical pageants 5. Folk songs and Work songs E. Music and Literature 1. Creating melodies for poems. 2. Creating poems for melodies 3. Reading music and language is similiar. The following was found in a fourth grade music book in Yarmouth. and I thought it so exemplified what the teach- ers and I are trying to teach in the way of music apprecia- tion. that I think it worthwhile to quote here: "Music is built on notes like a ladder. We climb the scale to reach the home of the spirit. The human voice has given people pleasure for centuries. Long ago only those near by heard a singer. Today through radio and television we can hear singers who are far away, even though we are in our homes. Everyone likes a band because it is jolly and fills us with pep. A famous or- chestra makes our hearts beat with glory. The song of the birds, the `wisper' of falling leaves, the tinkle of. brooks and the clashing cymbals of the sea are the music of nature. Whatever the kind, music has sounds that fascinate." Perhaps one of the most important ways to help our chil- dren prepare forthe future is through this type of appre- ciation. We can also give them "Appreciation through par- ticipation." Through techniques and singing we give them the ability to participate. My thanks to Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, and to each teacher, who, in her own specialway, broadens the music program. Respectfully submitted, EUNICE M. SHERMAN Elementary Vocal Supervisor 146 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear. Mr. Kenyon: The aims and objectives of the physical education de- partment are to develop physical fitness, social competence, and mental alertness. Keeping these .aims in mind we ar- range our program to include the physical conditioning ex- ercises in our daily physical education. classes. With the Amateur Athletic Union Physical Fitness Tests given every spring we measure the progress and condition of the students. Our program includes an extensive after school athletic program in soccer, basketball, and baseball, 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 attributes, sportsmanship, teamwork. etc. • We also provide in the daily physical education program units of game fundamentals, gymnastic exercises, and recrea- tional activities with the hope that we are presenting a situa- tion for the development of the whole person to operate at an optimum level through all phases of life. At this time we would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation of the parents, teachers, and school of- ficials. . . Respectfully submitted, DANIEL M.

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE To the- Voters and Residents: The cost of the rapid growth of the Town hasnever been so evident as reflected in the proposed expenditures in this year's Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting. At first glance it would appear that the recommenda- tions of this committee seem to be rather alarming, but it should be borne in :nind that the major reason for the in- crease in expenditures is due to -the cost of educating our children. This is the first year that we have felt the impact of the cost of operating the Regional School for a full year without the benefit of any State operation reimbursements. <_ The Finance Committee has recommended 21.5% more than the recommendations of last year of which 15.5% is due to the cost of education in all of our schools and 6.0% for all other appropriations. It is estimated that the valuation of the Town has increased 4% as of January 1, 1958, over Jan- uary 1, 1957. At this writing it is impossible to estimate the tax rate because there are too many unknown factors in the revenue and expense estimates (Cherry Sheet) the Town will receive from County. State and Federal agencies. Although we expect a rise in the tax rate, it should be remembered that this fact was pointed out at the Town Meet- ing wherein it was voted to build the Regional School. Respectfully submitted, BRADFORD L. TALLMAN, Chairman JOHN- M: -NEWKIRK Vice -Chairman and Secretary CARLTON E. BROWN ARTHUR A. RISTAU WILLIAM D. KELLY EDMUND FRUEAN, JR. ROBERT J.

This work consisted of regular meetings with the architect and in some cases discussion with the contractors relative to completion and requests for changes in their contracts. Also a great deal of time was spent in the selection of the furnishings and the equipment for the new school. During the month of July the Committee arranged to have exhibited items to be considered in furnishing the school. Manu- facturers' representatives displayed desks and chairs, and shop equipment for the benefit of the committee. Based upon the presentation made to the Committee and the recommendations of Mr. Kenyon, Superintendent, specifications were written and bids were placed for the furnishings. On August 25th of this year an open house was held at the Regional High School and the response by the public was most gratifying to the Committee. It was estimated that approximate- ly 2,000 people inspected the school on- this date and were able to see the completed building. At this time a brochure was pre- pared and distributed setting forth- the -specifications of the structure with illustrations. - On Sunday, January 12th of 1958 the school was formally dedicated. The Committee prepared a brochure which was pre- sented to the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth as a final report on the completion of the new school. This report included a re- port from the Chairman of the Committee and from the Treasurer of the Committee, together with messages from Mr. Kenyon, the Superintendent and Mr. Daggett, the Principal. Copies of this report have been available to the two Towns and further copies will be available at the Town Meeting forany who may not have received them. At the end of the year 1957 the Districthad retained the sum of $15,000.00 from the general contractor to secure work that remained. The bulk of this work has been completed and at present there is a very small amount of work that is to be completed on the general contract. The athletic facilities, in- cluding the tennis courts and track, are in the process of com- pletion and this work will be completed as soon as the weather will permit. Relative to financing during the year 1957 the final bond issue in the amount of $100,000.00 was marketed on September 1, 1957. This loan was previously authorized in August of 19.55 and the issuance was postponed until 1957 to eliminate the in- terest charges during the period of construction. Also during the year 1957 $75,000.00 was transferred from the District's excess and deficiency account in order to eliminate further borrowing. This amount represented for the most part interest that was earned by the District investing in United States Treasury notes during the period of construction. The District Committee consulted Second Bank State Street Trust Company concerning the term of the bond issue that was issued September 1, 1957 and was advised to have the term as short as possible on this issue in order to keep the interest to a minimum. After this recommendation the District Committee met with the Selectmen from the Towns of Dennis and Yarmouth and on August 6, 1957 it was decided that because of the sub- stantial interest savings to market this borrowing over a five year term. In adopting the 1958 budget the Committee voted to credit— the sum of $31,678.18 to the annual loan costs assessed against the member Towns. This amount is equal to the annual reim- bursement that is received from the State for construction costs. During the year 1957 the school was in operation from Sep- tember to December and the expenses as set forth in the budget for 1957 for the operation of the school showed a deficit of $4,521.46. This amount was transferred from the excess and de- ficiency account. It should be noted that the receipts for 1957 did not include receipts from the Town of Brewster for tuition for their students and this sum will be received _ in 1958. Likewise the District did not receive in 1957 the reimbursement for transportation which likewise will be received in 1958. 4 H I NI 111111 The breakdown of students in relation to Towns for the year 1957-1958 is as follows: Brewster 33 • Dennis 152 Yarmouth 273 Total 458 For the year 1957 the following is an analysis of the receipts and expenditures: Cash on hand Receipts, 1957 Expenditures Balance to 1958 Expenditures: Operation Construction Loan Costs $784,607.56 274,880.68 $1,059,488.24 982,319.37 $76,868.87 $ 99,198.89 153,950.48 129,170.00 $982,319.37 Respectfully submitted, DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS Wallace C.

Yarmouth and Dennis students in grades nine through twelve are now attending the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School.. This school is one of the most modern in the country and has fulfilled all expectations as far as housing an adequate program of secondary education is concerned.. The physical aspects of the plant and grounds speak for themselves. The auditorium with adequate stage facilities, the gymnasium, the cafeteria, meeting rooms, athletic. and recreational areas have already been used by community orgnizations. The educational program, on this level, offered to the young people of Dennis. Yarmouth, and Brewster is extensive. Subject matter fields made permissible by law are offered; in fact, it may be said that each subject and co -curricular activity are avail- able to all pupils. However, the actual path followed by a pupil throughout his high school career depends on his capacity, ability, need, his interest, and his willingness - to accomplish the task. The guidance program is under the direction of a well qualified. experienced, understanding director. Excellent work is being done with pupils in helping them to chart their course not only in high school but in future fields of work or higher _ education after graduation. - Y With reference to the high school curriculum, it is well to mention that not only are the so called basic or constant subject matter fields such as English, mathematics, science, social studies, and foreign languages offered but programs in the field of business, industrial arts, homemaking, physical education, art and music are available. Participation in many co -curricular sub- jects known as clubs, musical and art organizations, athletics and numerous other activities during and after regular school hours is possible. A course offering classroom and on the road driving is included. Definite plans are now being made to offer an advanced placement program in the interest of able students, to' enable these students to undertake work commensurate with their abilities. Courses under consideration are English Composition, Literature. European History, American History, French, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. 8 Students will be chosen for these courses on the basis of teacher recommendation, ' demonstrated superior achievement and high intellectual ability. The experience that a student will gain from participating in this program should be stimulating not only to the student but to the entire school. The school program of each pupil is an individual matter. Cooperative effort on the part of the pupil, the home, and the school is essentiaL PROGRAM Every pupil carries a minimum of four full-time prepared subjects, plus physical education. The maximum class load per mitted is five full-time prepared subjects, or their equivalent, plus physical education. Pupils should avail themselves of the wide variety of full- and part-time elective subjects, with- and without required home preparation, for these electives offer both cultural and vocational advantages. CREDITS FOR GRADUATION Five credits are given for the satisfactory completion of a full-time subject requiring four hours of prepared work a week throughout the school year. Other subjects are evaluated on a proportional basis. All subjects must be completed before any credit is given for them, A minimum of eighty credits is required for graduation from all curricula. CLASSIFICATION Pupils are classified in high school according to the number of credits toward graduation they have received. Pupils successfully completing four or more major subjects of Grade IX will receive a maximum of twenty credits in the Senior High SchooL Grade X: fifteen to thirty-five credits. 'Grade XI: thirty-five to fifty-five credits. Grade XII fifty-five or more credits. A pupil will not be classified as a senior unless he is a candi- date for graduation the following June. UNITS FOR COLLEGE ADMISSION A wait for entrance to college is granted for a year's success- ful work in full-time prepared subject. Most colleges require sixteen units for admission. To meet this requirement, a candi- date for a school of higher learning should complete four full - 9 • 4 • . _ time subjects in each grade: IX, XI; and XII. Because cAleges differ in their schedule of acceptable units, the candidate should consult his guidance counselor for the detailed requirements of a particular institution . . An early decision regarding plans for college, vocational schools, nurse's training, etc., following graduation is advisable.

It is with deep appreciation and pride that this report on the Commercial Department of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School is submitted. The heights of educational achievement seem limitless in their scope with the refinement, physical facilities, and spiritual motivation that this beautiful building provides. Students electing the Commercial Course may avail them- selves of subjects to meet their needs, to stimulate their interests and desires. Four classrooms, carefully organized, planned and constructed are used by these students. A personal wish that all may learn to type will become a reality, for there are sixty type- writers for the use of students. Many of these typewriters are electric, and advanced students are encouraged and requested to use them. We are happy that post -graduate students are enrolled. in the Commercial Course. Our Commercial Course program will be- -- strengthened by additional subjects; Penmanship, for example. This year, two half-year. half -credit Business English subjects are being studied by all Commercial students at the Sophomore and Senior level. and a half-year of the study of Business Law and Refresher Arithmetic will be continued. At the Sophomore level. for the first time, a half-year of Business Mathematics is being taught to all Commercial students. We do not wish the program of the Commercial Department to become inflexible; it must and it will meet the requirements of business: - - Our goal is to establish two courses of training; namely, Clerical and Secretarial. Physical facilities now make this pos- sible, and opportunity to enroll in these programs will be care- fully guided to best meet the ability and interest of each student. At present, the following subjects are taught: Typewriting I to all Commercial students and to any Senior desiring to learn typewriting; Typewriting II, Shorthand I and II, Bookkeeping I, Office Practice. Business English, Business Mathematics, Busi- ness Law, Refresher Arithmetic, and Junior Business Training.

Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts • Dear Sir: The band has indeed progressed satisfactorily from the four- teen brave individuals who participated in September's first foot- ball game to the present roster of thirty-two. We were in"atteiid- ance at all Saturday home and away games and each week•saw a few new members and experienced progressive gains in March- ing ability. The pre -game Friday rallies gave us as chance to enter the spirit of the fall season and to contribute to the Sat- urday afternoon (cause). After the Provincetown game at home. South Yarmouth Center saw its first victory parade with' band, cheerleaders. majorettes, student body and parents all marching from the John Simpkins High School through South Yarmouth. The Falmouth victory gave us cause for another South. Yar- mouth parade in honor of our Cape Schoolboy Champions. To finish out the .year in good style the band participated in a Christmas caroling hayride by truck throughout the villages, culminating in Hyannis. Our most recent endeavor was the January 12, 1958 dedica- tion of the New Regional High School. Chorus was started in the late Fall of 1957 and has improved to its present membership of forty-five. The chorus year ended with a Christmas hayride over the same route followed by the 22 band, We . were proud to participate in the January 12, 1958 dedication of the new Regional High School and are looking forward to much improvement and refinement in the very near future. • The chorus has been rehearsing every Thursday evening from 7:15-9:00 and is approaching good musical ability. Band rehearsals have been held every Wednesday evening 7:15-9:00 since early Fall 1957 and the results have been grati- fying. The orchestra will get under way 'shortly and because of the everpresent lack of violin players, will see the use of ac- cordians to represent the missing violins, oboes, English horn, bassoons and the typical orchestral instruments not found in small school groups. - - There are eventual; mhos for a dance band and other choral groups. • All of the success of the music program to date must be attributed to many sources. The original sources, of course, being the elementary and junior high music training received by my musicians from Mrs. Eunice Sherman and Mr. Richard LaPorte. Without the cooperation and free hand given by Mr. Alfred Ken- von and Mr. Asa P. Daggett, the_program couldn't have started. I must thank the Yarmouth Police for their spontaneous co- operation- in allowing the victory parades and actively serving as escorts and traffic dire tors at these parades. Lastly, who' re- mains but the band and chorus musicians ? None of the programs we have done to date would have been possible without their attendance and enthusiasm at daily and evening rehearsals, games, rallies, parades and social occasions. No one can do it alone. I found this to be true and am grate- ful for my progress to date. -• Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. TOURJE E Music- Director BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts - Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I herewith submit my first Annual Report as Physical Education Director of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School: During the past year with the completion of the Regional School, the Boys' Physical Education Program has become even larger ; not only in the number of boys participating, but in ac- tivities offered. More and better facilities, and a larger enroll- ment have all made this growth possible. In an age where we are continually being reminded of the failure of our schools to provide ample and adequate time, stress, and encouragement in the Physical Education Program and its outgrowths, we in the Dennis -Yarmouth area should feel proud of the program that is offered and accepted by such a large percentage of our young boys. Below, I would like to summarize the activities offered for the past year. I hope it will be noted that the program is bal- anced as much as possible throughout each season of the school - year, and a boy is now actually able to make a choice of the activity he would like to engage in. Other activities will only be offered and encouraged when we feel that they have a definite place in the program, and will not take away from some activity which already exists. BASKETBALL: Merrill Wilson, Coach Walter Hewins, Assistant Coach Gregory Drake, Junior High Coach For the first time, Yarmouth High School was represented during the 1956-57 Basketball Season by three teams: Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman. In addition to these, the 7th and 8th grades were represented with their own team throughout the year and completed their season by taking part in the Cape Junior High School Basketball Tournament. BASEBALL: Merrill Wilson, Coach The 1957 Baseball Season can be termed a successful one. m,t only in the large number of boys comprising the squad, but in the winning of the All -Cape Championship. The team reached the quarter -finals of the Eastern Massachusetts Playoffs. A Junior varsity schedule was carried on in conjunction with the varsity, and games were played against other Cape teams. 24 uN • GOLF: Walter Hewins, Coach. An eleven match golf schedule was engaged in by the 19! Yarmouth golf team. It is afforded the use of the Bass River Go Course for both its practice sessions and matches. The :earn wi undefeated in Cape competition. TRACK: Allan Carisen, Coach. Track, for the first time, became a major sport at Yarmoutl The team, comprised of nineteen' boys, participated in two dui meets, two triangular meets and took part in the Weymout Interscholastics at Weymouth, Mass. - SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM: Merrill Wilson, Ii structor. Again, a seven week program for boys was held during the summer at the John Simpkins School and fields. The tots enrollment almost doubled that of the previous year. Possibl; the biggest feature of this years program was outside competitioi in basketball, baseball, track and swimming. FOOTBALL: Walter Hewins, Coach Merrill Wilson, Assistant Coach The 1957 football team was the first to represent the nevi Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. The season was the best in recent years with a record of five wins and two losses, high. lighted by victories over all three Cape opponents. Inclement weather curtailed much of the Junior Varsity program, but three games were played against neighboring schools. SOCCER: Thomas Embler, Coach. Twenty-one boys were members of the 1957 Dennis -Yar- mouth Soccer Team. Taking part in the Cape Soccer League -for the second year, the team finished with an impressive six win, four loss record. Included also in their schedule was an off -Cape trip to Norwell, Massachusetts. PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Merrill Wilson, Instructor. Now that one gymnasium is available for boys at all times. it is possible for all boys to take part in compulsory Physical Education. The program consists of calisthenics, individual and team games, self -testing activities and gymnastics. An additional objective this past year has been. the promotion of leadership by the students themselves. 25 I a GYMNASTICS: Merrill Wilson, Instructor, , The formation of the Gymnastic Club was initiated this year with meetings being held twice a week in the evenings. The purpose of this club is to encourage and promote .interest in all phases of gymnastics. • Probably in no one department has the opening of. the:Re- •gional School been so welcomed as it has been by the Physical Education Department. The largeness of .the gymnasium .has enabled boys Physical Education classes to be held tluiroghout the day, five days per week. Thus, enabling all boys ..to take part, and small, mere workable classes possible. -The equipping of the gymnasium with the latest and best physical education equipment has made it possible for a more diversified program, and, consequently, a more interesting one. The locker and shower room area has encouraged neatness and cleanliness, a vital part of our program; and the storage areas available have made the task of storing and maintaining equipment an easier one. I know I can speak on behalf of all the Coaches and boys When I say we wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, member S of the Regional School Committee, and townspeople for the fine fa- cilities and equipment you—have afforded—us.----- Respectfully submitted, - MERRILL D.

In spite of concentrated and co-ordinated efforts of Town police, State police, and Registry of Motor Vehicle officers on the road night and day the traffic fatalities con- tinue to increase. Increasing speeds, negligence, and dis- regard of motor vehicle laws, traffic control signs, and plain common sense operation of their vehicles steadily lead motor vehicle operators into greater numbers of serious accidents. While many thousands of man-hours and many more thousands of dollars are expended in attempts to educate the motoring public to operate their vehicles in a manner that will protect themselves and the rest of the motorists it 40/45 - 10 45/50 - 4 50/55 - 5 55/60 - 2 70 appears that the increasing number of automobiles driven -- on our highways, yearly, and the increasing disregard of so many .of the motorists for their own safety and that of others is counter -balancing and nullifying the efforts and money expended in their behalf. Of the two fatalities noted above it is the opinion of this Department that one was caused by a disregard of traf- fic control signs and regulations, and the other by excessive speed for the conditions existing at the -time of the accident. Two of the best rules I know of for SAFE DRIVING ARE "SLOW DOWN AND LIVE" and "DRIVE SANE- LY". Don't cause the money and time expended by your Police Department for traffic enforcement to be spent in vain. And let us not blame our visiting operators for causing the accidents. As this report shows, of all operators involved in accidents in Yarmouth alone, 152 were citizens of this County, 84 were from other parts of this State, and 48 were from out of state. We of the community have a responsibility to, ourselves as well as others. Let us accept it. Respectfully Submitted, HERBERT .J. JASON, Chief of Police. December 31, 1958 To the Honorable Board . of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I herein submit my Report of Activities of the Yarmouth Police Department for the year 1958: Total Arrests Made _ (Breakdown as shown on Report of Arrests) Total Accidents Reported and Investigated (Breakdown as shown on Report of M.

Dog Bites Reported & Investigated As is evident by the Arrest figures there were some 116 less arrests made by this Department during 1958 than during 1957. This does not mean a letdown in the efficiency of the Department. Rather, we feel, it is caused by a stronger patrol and better method of handling complaints. Particular- ly does this apply to the summer months, when the cruiser car personnel was doubled. It will be noted on the Arrest Report that in 1958 -there were no arrests made for Disturb, ing the Peace as against 88 arrests in 1957. Of these 88 practically all were the result of complaints of "noisy par- ties" by summer visitors. While some complaints of "noisy parties" were received in 1958 the method of handling these complaints was to serve a notice, in writing, that any further complaints other than the first. would result in arrest and prosecution for the of- fenders. This written warning was taken to the house in question and the person or persons renting and/or occupying the house were asked to read and sign the notice as receiving same. If anyone refused to sign they were told that arrests would result from any further complaints, regardless. In very few cases were more than one complaint received, and in no case more than two. - The restraint of dogs by either muzzling, or keeping them on a leash, resulted in a large decrease in the number of dog bites during the period this restraint order was in effect. This order was issued by the Selectmen at the re- quest of the Police Department, the same order being used to good effect in several other towns in the County. 110 5 1,046 33 231 29 45 • • 72 May I in closing thank all other Town Departments and personnel for the co-operation and assistance extended by them to the Police Department, also the- State Police otor Vehiclesn er Sergeant Charles W.

Present number of services Services Vacant Gallons of water pumped Stock on hand estimated value Number of services installed For this year's report your Water Commissioners have concerned themselves with a statistical report based on the records of the last ten years of our operation. A study and review of these records are most interesting and of deep concern to every taxpayer. Here are some of the facts which our records point out. 1. The number of consumers has in- creased by 187 percent. 2. Revenue has increased approxi- mately 150 percent. 3. The amount of water consumed has increased about 125 percent. 4, Maintenance and operation costs have increased 50 percent which is due to the increase 3080 106 232,603,134 $7,425.30-- 228 7,42530= 228 80 in labor and material . costs. 5. The average consumer is us— ing 70,000 gallons of water per year. Now, what do all these statistics mean to you, the home owner, the voter,- and the taxpayer fust this. Projecting these statistical facts into the future forftwenty years, we --- can expect that. 1. The number of consumers will double. 2. The revenue from water rates will double. 3. The amount of water needed to satisfy our consumers will reach 450,= 000,000 gallons; more or less. 4. The maintenance and op- eration costs of the department will reach $100,000.00. How will all this affect our needs for expansion of plant and pump - facilities, mains, and water producing capacity; and how much is it going to cost the taxpayer? It is the considered opinion of your Water Commissioners that you will have to spend from $1,500.000 to $2,000,000 for your water depart- ment in the next twenty years if the public is to be served properly and adequately. This money would be spent for new plant facilities, extensions of water mains into develop- ing areas. new well fields, storage tanks, etc. The above figures are not firm but, we feel they are close. We expect that they will be proven true by a. complete study of the Water Department and its every phase which we hope can be made by our consulting Engineers, Whitman & Howard, during the year 1959. This firm has been consultants to the Water Department since its inception in 1931 and we have found" it to be most reliable. We are asking you to_raise and appropriate $15,000.00 for this study. As most of you — know, we asked $9,000.00 in 1958 to locate an additional well - field, for the future use of the department. We are happy to report that we have found an excellent source of water on North Main St. in South Yarmouth some 1500 ft. south of the railroad crossing. A large tract of land needed for this well -field has been surveyed. and after appraisal by local real estate men, 'it is our intent to place an article in the warrantfor sufficient --- ----- - funds to acquire this property either by negotiation or by eminent domain. To help counteract -the impact of the costs of engineer- ing study and the acquisition of land for our new well -field on the taxpayer we are reducing the amount of money usual- ly requested for . extensions of Water Mains by $12,000.00. This amount of money, together with $12,000.00 more revenue received this year as compared to last year, should offset the cost of the engineering study and land to be acquired. We appreciate the fact that this report is long. statisti- 81 cally dry, and perhaps uninteresting; but herein are the facts, based on records, that none of us can afford to ignore. One thing we hope you will remember if you read this report,, is that you are going to spend a large sum of money for the Water Department in the next twenty years. We will be able to tell you better what the amount will be in another year. It could be $2,000,000.00.

Distribution of , polio vaccine by the State Department of Public Health has, this year, been limited to a supply for infants and pregnant women. Clinics organized for the vaccination of persons between the ages of 20 and 40 years, were, for the most part, not well attended. and this age group has not been as well protected as the childhood group. With financial assistance provided by the Barnstable County Public Health Association, educational classes were 83 organized for the benefit of all Public Health Nurses in the County. Six sessions were held and all were well attended by the nurses. Topics covered were: Priorities in Public Health Nursing Service, Methods of Developing A Communi- ty Safety Education Program, Functions of a Public Health Nurse in a School Health Program, Planning a Program, and Tuberculosis Control. During the year, a team, consisting of personnel and students from the Harvard University School of Public Health, has made a survey of Public Health practices in this county. Final reports of this study are now being distributed to your Board.

Davidson - Dennis Gentlemen: The following is a report of the Department of Veterans' Services during the year 1958 - Town of Yarmouth. I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Thomas Milne of Marstons Mills who passed away this year. He was a friend of our Veterans and indeed respected the interest of his District. An indication of his efficiency can best be shown by the kind words of the recipients of Veterans' Bene- fits. All have praised him as a gentleman and man of honor, - no greater tribute can be paid. The majority of our time is spent on services known as Veterans' Benefits. We interview and investigate each ap- plicant. After a thorough examination and if need is deter- mined, said worthy veteran, widow or dependent is aided as. per rules and regulations set forth by the Commissioner of Veterans' Services. As a matter of record our case load has increased 50% over last year. This• year on July 24th, our General. Court enacted a Veterans' Benefits Lien Law which says in brief that a lien shall be placed on real estate of a DEPENDENT of a vet- eran, but NOT on the property of a VETERAN or HIS WIDOW, for money expended by the State, cities or towns for aid. Mr. Ezra J. Swift, the Veterans Administration Contact Officer is available to all Cape veterans in this office from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the first, second and third Thursdays of each month. Mr. Swift aids and assists on problems of service -connected compensation, non -service pensions, - hos- pitalization, loans, education and insurance. This Department has received splendid cooperation from all the Selectmen and other departments of the Town. I wish to publicly thank my Deputy Agent, Mrs. Lillian R. Doane. whose splendid cooperation and dedicated work has made my assignment. a pleasant one. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H. CROSS Director and Agent 86 I I.

We feel that new members are most important and take this opportunity to suggest that if you do not belong to the Society and wish to do so, you contact Mr. Howard Jackson of Yarmouth Port and join at once. - We have had two meetings this year and a Christmas Party at the Captain Bangs Hallet House. Our first meeting was held in the West . Dennis Com- munity Church on March 17th. Mr. Harrie S. Bickford gave a short talk on the history of the Church and Mr. Arthur Al- vin spoke on Indian artifacts found on Cape Cod. Following this Mrs. Maxtone Graham read excerpts from the diary of her great-aunt, Fannie Howes Bartow, which told of early days in South Yarmouth. Punch and cookies were served in the Parish House after the meeting. The Annual Meeting was held on August 6th in the Baptist Church in Bass River. The pastor, Mr. Ostergren welcomed us and Mrs. Carlton Chase gave us a brief history of the church. Colonel Eugene S. Clarke of Sandwich spoke to us about museums and illustrated his talk with colored slides of Old Sturbridge Village and Mystic, Conn. Punch and cookies were served after the meeting. Our _summer activities started with a Silver Tea at the Bangs Hallet House, at which the members of the West Den- nis Garden Club showed many beautiful flower arrange- ments. On August 14th we had our Annual House Tour and thanks to members and friends who kindly allowed their houses to be open to the public, it was a great success. The tour ended with a tea at the Bangs Hallet House. We held a two day Antique Show at the West Dennis Community Hall on August 17th and 18th. Collections of glass, china,__ silver, pewter, dolls, buttons, fans and snuff-boxes, sam- plers. quilts and oriental and maritime objects were shown. Owing to the fact that we had two days of beautiful weather, we did not have as many visitors as we had hoped, but those that did attend were much impressed with our exhibits. On Sunday, September 28th we had a Small House Tour and a tea at the Bangs Hallet House, at which the West Dennis Garden Club again showed arrangements of flowers. Mrs. Maxtone Graham showed her Doll's House every Thursday afternoon during the summer for the benefit of the Society. 89 Miss Eleanor Lay, a former resident of Bass River, was our Custodian for the summer months and her interest in the House and the Historical Society proved to be a great asset to our work. In the spring we set up a Children's Room which con- tains dolls, games and toys of a bygone era. We have re= arranged two upstairs - rooms to show an exhibition of old tools and imnlPn.ents and a collection of old costumes. Both these rooms have been very popular and of great interest to our visitors. On the ground floor, we removed an unused staircase and obtained room for a small library, which houses our collection of books on old Cape Cod and genealogical records of Cape families. We have a set of Joseph Lincoln's books and his manuscript of "Rugged Waters" which have been loaned to us by the South Yarmouth Library Association. In March we leased apiece of land facing the King's Highway to Mr. John Crawfrd, upon which he has erected the new Post Office for Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port. This winter we are restoring the old kitchen on the ground floor and it will be on view during the coming sum- mer. Through the courtesy and co-operation of several kind friends, we have been able to run a road from the King's Highway, across the meadow and up to a small parking lot in the rear of the Bangs Hallet House. May I take this opportunity to thank all our members and friends for the help they have given us and also to again thank the kind people who have given us objects of interest and beauty. It is through their help that the Historical So- ciety of Old Yarmouth has grown and will continue to grow and to become a living history of Old Cape Cod.

Vineyard Haven and planted in Follins Pond near the Town Landing. 60 wire baskets of one inch mesh were filled with scal- lopshells and taken to Vineyard Haven by the State to be put in a salt pond. These were returned to us in November and planted in Follins Pond. The catch of small oyster spawn on the shells was good and should help to build up our oyster supply. During 1959 we will make up 200 wire • baskets for the same purpose. - H. BERTRAM KELLEY Shellfish Constable FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT January 16, 1959 Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth, Mass.

To the Officers and men of the Department I express my appreciation for their support and efforts. Deputy Chief Lloyd H.

Johnson for the way he performed with the Fire Department Rescue Boat underthe extreme weather and 92 rough water conditions as they existed at Cray's Beach dur- ing a successful rescue of a man stranded on the marsh in the icy water. The $900.00 voted in 1954 :to purchase this boat for the Fire Department was money well spent as this incident has so well shown. To Lieutenant George E: Killen of the Fire Marshal's Office I express my thanks_ for the as- sistance rendered during the year. ` Respectfully submitted, DANA H. WHITTEMORE Chief, Fire Department REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR . To the Honorable Board of Sele:tmen - and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: With the completion of "Project Survival" by the Mas- sachusetts Civil Defense Agency, the several Towns and Cities of this state now have a coordinated overall Civil De- fense plan for the state with which the local Civil Defense Directors can coordinate their local plans. Yarmouth's disaster plan is at present undergoing re- vision to comply with new MCDA directives and to coordin- ate it with the Sector 2C plan. Upon completion, certain parts will be published and sent to each home in the Town. It may be of interest for the citizens of Yarmouth to know that the MCDA plan calls for Yarmouth to be the reception area for 25,000 persons from the Fall River area. During the past year, your Civil Defense department has- continued a modest program of stock -piling equipment and other items which will be needed in time of emergency. Many of these items have been received from the State Sur- plus Property warehouse at little .cost to the Town. The program of equipping and training an auxiliary Police Force has progressed very well with 17 men complet- ing an advanced course in Police work under the direction of Patrolman Richard -LaFrance or the Yarmouth Police de- partment. During 1959 a new basic police course will be started with the hope that eventually we may have 40 well trained auxiliary police officers ready for any emergency dutyIt is hoped that during 1959, with the aid of the Fire Chief. that a training program for auxiliary firemen can be 93 started as well as a Civil Defense Rescue Squad training course. Our communications section has been expanded .by the addition of two more transmitter -receiver portable radios with several members of the communications section graduat- ing from a communications course conducted by the Barn- stable. Radio club. With the aid of Miss Myrtis E. Beecher, County Ex- tension Agent in Home Economics, several demonstrations in emergency feeding were held with groups of women of the Town. Plans are that this program of training will be expanded in 1959. An emergency seven day menu card has been made available to Yarmouth citizens, as well as other CD literature, through distribution boxes in the several Post Offices of the Town. With the "cold war" continuing "hot", it behooves each and every citizen to take an active interest in Civil Defense and to become intimately familiar with the basic concepts of survival during a nuclear attack and the work that will have to be done after such an attack. As in past years, it is necessary to report that Yarmouth still has a long way to go before it will have an adequately trained and staffed Civil Defense department. However, I am happy to report that we continue to make substantial progress and know that we shall continue to do so in 1959. Sincerely, WALLACE C. LIBERTY Director REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMITTEE Under Article 55 in the last Town Meeting $300 was raised and appropriated to be spent by the committee. Grain was purchased for the feeding of song birds and upland game. Money was also spent for 30 hares to be liberated in the Town. For more information on this matter, contact Dick Sullivan in West Yarmouth. Fish liberation is expensive so we have not stocked any ponds. More grain for feeding the'birds will be purchased after Town Meeting. MATTHEWS C. HALLET .EDMUND FRUEAN JR. 94 u gar., SIM PARK DEPARTMENT REPORT 1958 To the Board of Selectmen and T Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: We hereby submit our report for the year 1958. Due to a greater influx of visitors to our Town we have opened up a parking lot and improved our beach on the south shore, known as Sea View Beach. We have installed playground equipment such as slides and merry-go-rounds for the children at the various play- grounds and plan to install more equipment this year in vari= ous sections of the Town. We have installed a boat ramp at Englewood Beach.. which has proven to be a great help to the boaters in that section. We would and do welcome suggestions for the improve- ment of our parks and beaches. With the help of the State this year we are looking for- ward to some vast improvements. WILLIAM C. ANGELL EDWARD A. JOHNSON WILLIAM B. LETTENEY, SR. Chairman - SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION REPORT FOR 1958 ' Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth. Mass.

Our service to patients at Nursing Home and to other shut-ins continued under the charge of Miss Aletta Horn, who also supervised the opening of the Old Mill for_library benefit one afternoon each week during the summer. .479 books were added to the library and 100 were with- drawn. Books in Library now number 11,640. During the Fall Mrs. Gorham Homer has joined the Book Committee and has made a complete inventory of library books, so that we can now report that we own 8,912 adult books—Fiction 5,497 and non-fiction 3,415. Juvenile books amount to 2,728: Fiction -1,874 and non fiction --854. New borrowers were 270: 191 adult and 79 juvenile. Members of the Library Association were 369, of whom 137 were new members. Again we were visited during the year by guests from all over the United States as well as several foreign countries. Our guest book was signed by 140 individuals as well as by 147 children who attended the monthly story hours held dur- ing the Fall, Winter, and Spring. In appreciation of these story hours Brownies and Cub Scouts gave *money to the library which was used in purchase of nature and science books, especially. astronomy. 'The library observed the first National Library Week last March. There were exhibits of books in the two banks in the village, as well as new books and a story hour in the library. The Yarmouth Register had editorials on Books and Libraries, as well as a fine article from the pen of Mr. Haydn Mason in his column, "From where I sit." The local radio station had an editorial of the air by Mr. Edward Semprini. As usual Spring Book Festival and Book Week, as well as Education Week, were observed. Among the gifts during the year were two in memory of the late Mr. Herman Curtis, for several years treasurer of the Association ; these were a desk chair and a globe. The First National Bank of Yarmouth gave a supply of plastic bags to protect books taken out on stormy days. The former museum on the second floor has been made into a stack room for storage of files of magazines and of books not in constant use. The living room in the apart- ment and the upper hall have been papered and painted for the first time in many years. A new light has been purchased for the library desk. The Book Committee has continued its 96 weekly work and are now concentrating on the revision and arrangement of the picture collection and the pamphlet file. These contain valuable material that can be borrowed the same as books. There has been a marked increase in reference work with the school particularly in American History and outside read- ing in English. The library plans to increase its efficiency in these fields. Book selection includes not only purchase of popular books of the day but also filling in classes of books needed for reference work. The library is happy to report that it has passed the library standards set up for libraries of this size in communities of our population; as to educa- tion of librarian, number of hours open to the public, and in - book selection. Our greatest problem is still the crowded condition of our shelves especially in the fiction section. Last summer the library partonage increased so much in June and Septem- ber that we shall need extra help evenings in those months as well as in July and August. We hope in 1959 to expand further our services to the community. which has been so generous in its support. CAROLINE R. SIEBENS Librarian ANN MAXTONE GRAHAM Chairman of Library Board REPORT OF WEST YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: It is with a feeling of gratitude and pride that we submit this Annual Report. Circulation totaled 12,704, an increase of 1,020 over 1957. Adult total 7,541. Junior total 5.163. Magazines and paper covers 2,522. The Library was open 98 days averaging a daily cir- culation of 97.7. The Book Committee purchased 213 volumes. We added 215 gift books and we have a number more to be added when time permits. Our Ways and Means Committee had Bridge Parties, 97 .!. _ . ,4!.do Trash and Treasure Sales and a Book Review combined with a Silver Tea which added considerably to our Treasury. - We are still very grateful .for the new room and book shelves that were completed over a year ago when the rest rooms were brought from the basement to the first floor. -- Coffee was served on several evening Library hours during the winter which offered warmth and friendli- ness. The Book Chute is still very popular and a great con- venience to our borrowers. - Our sincere thanks to the Selectmen for their kind con- sideration and to the taxpayers for their support. Respectfully submitted ELEANOR_ E. FINN Librarian and Treasurer PORT YARMOUTH LIBRARYOF SSOCIATION Board of Selectmen - South Yarmouth; Mass. Gentlemen There has been a great deal of activity at the Yarmouth Library this past year. In March 1958 the members of the Friends of the Yar- mouth Library took charge of National Library Week.- Mrs. Francis Goodell was Chairman and the exhibits, which she planned to tie in with the subject matter contained in our Library books, were outstanding. To Mrs. Goodell and d her co-operative Committee we owe a debt of gratitude. After research on my part. I feel that, for a Library of our size, we excelled in our active observance of National Library Week. After many weeks of planning, the Mary Thacher Me- morial Wing has been completed. We are very proud of this addition. Our one regret is that Miss Mary Thacher could not have lived to enjoy the room. Other new additions include: public lavatory, one hot water heating system to take care of the Library and the apartment and to furnish domestic hot water for both, a work room, better kitchen working area for the Friends and a 98 wardrobe closet which also serves as a storage place for our folding chairs. Miss Mary Thacher's generosity made possible, also, the completion of a large part of this work. The Librarian's apartment has been rearranged and newly decorated. Due to lack of funds one room bad to be omitted from the plans for a trial period of one year. During the weeks when the Library was closed I had so many desperate calls for books that I made my car into a Bookmobile and served the borrowers. This experience made me realize very keenly how essential a Public Library is to a small village. The trips were most heartwarmingly rewarding. We wish to thank the Trustees of the South Yarmouth Library for offering the use of their Library to our borrowers while our Library was closed. We deeply appreciate their thoughtfulness. Miss Marguerite Small's Saturday story hour continues to be very popular. Miss Small and the children enjoy the new room which offers light, space and a friendly atmosphere. Our Friends organization is still very much alive and the attendance is gratifying. There has been a committee ap- pointed from the members to seriously and immediately con- tinue investigation of the Register microfilming project. The Trustees approve of the project and it is hoped, if prices are within reason, that 1959 will show definite progress toward a planned program to complete the microfilming in the near future. Each year I try to express a series of hopes for the fu- ture. In my 1956 report to the Town one of the hopes which I expressed was to increase the numbers of hours which the Library would be open to the public. Other hopes on this list took precedence and have either been realized or are in the process. My one hope for this year still is that we might increase the number of hours which the Library will be open to the Public. This would accommodate students and working people and in general offer better service. Again we are grateful to the taxpayers for their gen- erosity and to the Selectmen for their patient understanding of Library problems. Respectfully submitted, MARTHA WHITE. Librarian Yarmouth Library Association 1 i REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit my report for the year 1958. The Highway Department has sealcoated 3.0 miles of road and has mixed and placed 4.4 miles of road. The Department purchased 95,000 gallons of different types of asphalt from Trimount Bituminous Products Co. and 5,120 feet of various sized pipe from New England Concrete Pipe Co. which was laid throughout the Town. Thirty-six catch basins were installed. Last year eight new streets were accepted by the Town. Chapter 90 maintenance money was awarded to W. A. Jones Co. for Station Ave., South Yarmouth, Arlington St. and Columbus Ave. in West Yarmouth and Pleasant St., South Yarmouth was resurfaced with Hot Mix. Sidewalks were laid in South Yarmouth along Main St. and Yarmouthport along Route 6. Respectfully submitted JAMES C. MARSH • ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth. Massachusetts Subject: Annual Report of the Board of Appeals Gentlemen: The following is analysis of the requests that were acted upon in the year 1958 by the Board of Appeals. Number of matters filed thirty-seven. Variances granted 4 Variances denied 6 Special permits (as provided in our zoning by-law, which allows the Board of Appeals to grant special permits at their Approval on route 28) Special permits granted - . 6 Special permits denied 1 Approvals granted 11 Approvals 100 Approvals denied 4 Extension of existing non -conforming uses - Approved 3 Matters withdrawn by request of the Petitioner 2 The above information indicates the Board of Appeals had a considerable busy schedule during the year 1958. However, the above figures also indicate that during the en- tire year, there were ten requests for Variances or deviations from the zoning by-law of the Town, and of these ten re- quests six were denied. In each instance the Board analyti- cally deliberated and -where they were granted we found each and every one covered the statutory requirements as set forth by Chapter 40-A of the Commonwealth. It is also interesting to note, and I call your attention to the fact, that the majority of the petitions were for special permits, approvals, or for extension of non -conforming uses, which are provided for in our zoning by-law. One additional comment that I would like to - call to your attention is that during the year there was only one petition concerning signs. I believe that this, after two years of experience, is due to the recent approval of Mr. Mason's sign code, which was incorporated in our zoning by- law about hvo years ago. Prior to the adoption of the Sign Code a large percentage of the hearings before the Board of Appeals involved this area of our zoning by-law and it would appear now that the sign code has met existing con- ditions. Respectfully submitted, •HAROLD'L. HAYES, Chairman REPORT OF LITTLE LEAGUE The 1958 season was one of our Banner years, thanks to the earnest and untiring devotion of our managers and umpires. Through their efforts and hard work we believe more boys participated in this wholesome and active sport than in any other youth program in our community. Trained and professional leadership would help to make the program more successful no doubt, but the men who work to keep this going are fathers whose chief interest is giving their own and other boys a healthy atmosphere - boys must be kept busy. This year Brewster has endeavored to establish its own 101 Little League but some of the, boys who have been with us for a long time, and with a loyal team spirit, requested to continue with their teams and we were happy to include them. Brewster will have a stronger organization going into - _ its second year and probably none of their boys will partici- pate in our program. Our associations have been most pleasant and we wish them success in their venture. The League will continue to function representing Yarmouth and Dennis. This brings us to the matter of finance since we have in the past received financial aid from Brewster. The best way I know of to make up for this is a stronger parent par- ticipation from our own town, as in the past Brewster par- ents have been faithful supporters and spectators. The Boys need this support morally and the organization needs the collections taken at the games, which play a vital part in our economy. - - - Last Spring we erected a new fence enclosing the entire field and this makes the game . more interesting from the spectator's viewpoint. CHARLES O. WILKINS II President, Little League January 22, 1959 Mr. Charles O. Wilkins, President Mid -Cape Little League Bass. River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Wilkins: - - -- The following is a financial report for Mid -Cape Little League, covering the year 1958. Receipts: Town Of Yarmouth ($500 Appropriation). $476.15 Town Of Dennis ($400 Appropriation) _ -. 397.20 Town Of Brewster. ($100 Appropriation) 100.00 Hyannis Kiwanis 100.00 Spectator Donations_ _ 100.63 Cash On Hand At Beginning Of Year 294.72 Total Disbursements: Uniforms And Supplies Insurance Fence Construction (Materials Only) Field Maintenance 102 $1468.70 $509.50 90.00 183.02 4.18 Registrations Schedules Trophies And Awards Cash On Hand At _End Of Year 50.25 2.50 166.40 462.85 Total $1468.70 It should be noted that the cost_ of a banquet is not in- eluded in the above, since the banquet has not yet been held. Approximately $390.00 is being reserved for this purpose. The Town of Dennis appropriation declined from $600 to $400 last year, while that of the Town of Brewster de- clined from $200 to $100. It is my understanding that we will have no receipts from either of these towns in 1959. Al- so, contributions from spectators dropped about thirty per cent. last year. All in all, it is ev_'dent that we must either find new sources of revenue or effect economy in our opera- tions.. Respectfully submitted, ,JOHN A.

TAYLOR Town Clerk REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES December 31, 1958 Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Gentlemen: The year 1958 was a normal one in the Department of Inspector of Wires. There were no ice storms, hurricanes, or other acts of Nature to disrupt a normal course of events. Consequently, a total of 534 inspections were made, and a mileage of approximately 4400 miles were covered in per- formance of duties. Very truly yours E. FRUEAN JR. Inspector of Wires. 104 BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE Major changeswhich affected the Public Assistance pro- gram rogram again in 1958 resulted in increased expenditures by this department. Among these were hospital rates and nursing home rates which are subject to yearly change as established by the Commissioner of Administration. A new and more simple method of claiming Federal re- imbursements became effective on October 1st. We now re- ceive $41.50 a month in Federal monies for each person re- ceiving Old Age Assistance, and Disability Assistance, and $20.50 a month for each eligible member in an Aid to De- pendent Children family.

I feel that the most of you know the workings of my departments, but the new citizens or taxpayers possibly do not. If those of you who are acquainted with our general work will bear with me, I will try to bring the new residents and the unin- formed up to date. In the Tree Warden Department, 94 trees were planted, they being a mixture of ornamental and shade trees. The largest percentage were planted on private property, ap- proximately 3 feet from the Town boundary line. For the large part, the property owners made the request for them, and chose the variety or specie. Each spring these small trees are fertilized and during the 'winter, they are staked and guyed. To the surprise of many, all of this is done at no expense to the property owner. We find that the tree planting project is very much of a suc- cess, and we are proud to be a part of it. As to the Moth or Insect Pest Control work, we are happy and satisfied with the new mist blower type sprayer. After Town Meeting bids were called for, and the successful bidder was the Hartley Spray Corporation, of Dedham, Mas- sachusetts for the sum of $2975.00, the machine was delivered within a week's time and was accompanied by an instructor. After receiving the machine, the Deputy Tree Warden, John G. Sears III and myself travelled to Plymouth and re- ceived pointers on its operation from a veteran operator, Mr. John Kennedy, the Tree Warden of that town. At this writ- ing. with a year of experience, we feel better qualified to do the job in 1959. In regard to the Dutch Elm Disease work, 41 trees were sampled. (after theyshowed signs of wilt or discoloration of the foliage) and 19 were found to have the disease. These have all been removed. Out of this number, 5 were on town property and 14 were privately owned. In some cases where 129 i A -a vdd 130 v •- be J V7 0 a O rn cc Cad -7 Q 0 .a CD M 0 r'a 0 a I- C, c C) v r h` U, .0 0 0 0 it was deemed wise, the town assisted in part of- the cost of the removal of those trees on private property. ,. The per- centage of loss of town owned trees was approximately 1.1%. We will do our utmost to keep that loss to below 1% in 1959. - - As a side note of information, your Tree Warden de- signed a form letter of notification to private owners of dis- eased trees. This form has been accepted by the Massachu- setts Bureau of Insect Pest Control as the ideal type of notice, and they have recommended its use throughout the Common- wealth. We are aiming to keep our work on a high level, and with your cooperation and suggestions, I believe that we will. Again. I wish to thank you for allowing me to be your Tree \Warden, and, if at any time, I may be of assistance to you, please feel free to call upon me. Respectfully .submitted, - JOHN G. SEARS Tree Warden Superintendent of Insect Pest Control Town of Yarmouth REPORT OF RECREATION COMMITTEE Nye Crowell, Oscar W. Doane Jr., Peter M. Sykes, Darrell A. Shepherd, Lloyd L. Simmons The year 1958 saw two major changes at the Bass River Golf Course. A new clubhouse of contemporary design was built and the course was rearranged to accommodate the new location. We think the new facilities were favorably received despite a rather cool summer. The following comparative income figures . seem to_ support this contention. 1958 $50,520.00 1957 /0,224.00 - 1956 38,083.00 1955 29,877.00 Work toward the completion cf our basic irrigation sys- tem is progressing slowly. The early arrival of winter weath- er has interrupted the work but we are still hopeful that the remainder of the pipe can be installed this Spring. Funds provided at the 1958 Town Meeting are still considered ade- quate. We are happy to report that our capable greenskeeper, 131 David Barry, is back on the job. He was taken seriously ill late last summer and was forced to recuperate slowly. We wish to thank his. competent maintenance crew for above average efforts which managed to minimize Dave's tem- porary loss. Our 1959 plans include the moving of the practice put- ting green to a location just East of the new clubhouse, the replacing of our 1952 Dodge truck, the enlarging, grading and improving of the present parking area, and plans for the gradual improvement of badly needed housing for our valu- able maintenance equipment. This committee would also like to thank publicly Mr. William Meyer. Yarmouth resident and general contractor on the Clubhouse job for a job well done. The golfcourse itself has been materially improved over the past several years. Now that the irrigation system has been replaced and extended, the Commission can attend to the job of building up the fairways and tees, a task which will to some extent increase future outlays for seed and fer- tilizer. The budget for 1959 reflects these additional costs and the expenses involved to carry out the balance of our plans for the year. Total contemplated costs for the year, however, are considerably under expected income. Other recreational activities on the area under the super; vision of this Committee have been considered from time to time. The difficulty is that the land area is, for all practical purposes. fully used in the operation of the golf course. The only other facility currently being considered is the redevelop- ment of the pond for sport fishing. REPORT OF TOWN BASEBALL TEAM Yarmouth's Town Team finally brought a championship team to the Cape. Under the leadership of Coach John Halunen the Yarmouth boys won both the lower and Cape League titles. The following is a fina,icial report covering the 1958 season: Receipts: Town of Yarmouth $750.00 Ads in Schedule Book 190.00 Contributions 426.52 1 132 $1366.52 Disbursements: Insurance Uniforms & Supplies Schedules Umpires League Fee Baseballs 75.00 599.02 52.50 455.00 -- 25.00 160.00-___ $1366.52 We, the team, and management wish to thank the people of Yarmouth for their support in 1958. Respectfully submitted, MATTHEW J. STEELE Secretary & Treasurer REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board has approved 14 subdivisions and -- denied 2 while acting on 49 • plans for which approval was not required. This is 2 more subdivisions than in 1957 and 18 more "approvals not required." . Since subdivisions re- quire a preliminary hearing as well as a definitive hearing, these figures mean the Planning Board considered 1.25 sub- divisions and 2 "approvals not required" at each meeting. The regular meetings of the Planning Board are held in the Town Office Building on the second and fourth Thurs- days of each month at 8:00 P. M. These meetings are open to the public. As a point of information, the Planning Board notes that - according to Chapter 584, Acts of 1958, no plan can be ac- cepted by the Registry of Deeds or Land Court that does not bear the seal of a Massachusetts Registered Land Surveyor after July 1. 1959. Therefore, plans presented to the Plan- ning Board after that date should bear such a seal. This past year your Planning Board has spent as much time as possible on the re -zoning of residential districts. Pre lirninary sketches of proposed districts were drawn up with lot sizes from 8500 square feet to 20,000 square feet. Two basic rules were followedf designating ial 8buie various- lding g anddistricts:ot si one, the existing type ze within the area; and, two, the suitability and tendency of growth within a given residential area. Working from our zoning maps, the Planning Board had 133 the Town engineer draw a visual sketch of- the different pro- posed residential sections. For purposes of identification we labeled them A. B, C and D, which are listed below as ten-• tatively proposed Residential A " B 20,000 sq. ft. ?.900 15.000 " " 3,900 C 10,000 '' " 5.100 D 8.500 " " 3.200 Seeking the thoughts of the townspeople on these pro- posed zoning changes. the Planning Board held two public hearings. one in Lyceum Hall. Yarmouthport, and one in the Town Office Building, South Yarmouth. Both meetings were helpful and some suggestions were offered which were in- corporated in our thinking, but the number of people attend- ing these hearings was disappointingly small. Although gen- eral approval of residential zoning was given, the Planning Board feels that in such an important proposed change in zoning we would like to first have a more representative ex- pression of opinion on the basic idea before going further with more thoughtful and detailed work and before present- ing any proposed changes to the voters at a Town Meeting. If this opinion is favorable, we would spend this next year in perfecting as far as possible what we feel is the best way to reclassify residential districts within our town and submit articles dealing with these changes to the next annual Town Meeting. The Planning Board feels that classified residential zon- • ing is a desirable thing for a town of our size with our rapid growth but we also feel it is too important to rush into with- out first sampling public opinion by all means available so as not to waste our time and your money on a project that is by its basic purpose not acceptable to the residents. The members of the Planning Board were deeply sad- dened at the untimely death of our esteemed fellow member, Mr. Richard Taylor. We will miss him as a friend and as one whom we all respected for his public service despite great physical handicaps. acres )) )) For the Planning Board RICHARD K. -JOHNSON, Chairman 134 BIRTHS Births recorded in the Town of Yarmouth for the year 1958 with the names. parents' residence and Christian name of parents. - August 27/1887 May Russell Howes, Yarmouth,.

ATTENDANCE AND MEMBERSHIP 1954-55 1955-56 1956=57 1957-58 Average membership 609 675 700 780 Average daily attendance 559 624 652 732 Further information concerning enrollment by grade, and age may be found in the accompanying tables. ORGANIZATION OF SUPERVISION During the past few years the Superintendent's time has been more and more taken up with duties which could not be delegated to' others because there were no others to whom delegation could be made. This situation has, to too large an extent, kept him away from the principal purpose of his office. It is fortunate for the Town that we have a fine staff of teachers. Even so, in a Union now of this size,_ a new organization is necessary tc provide the proper super-' vision and improvement of instruction. The addition of an elementary supervisor is a beginning toward the realization of the needed reorganization. MAINTENANCE Major repairs and alterations consisted of the installa- tion of a new sink in the cafeteria of the Yarmouth Elemen- tary School. The sewage system at the Yarmouth Elemen- tary School was enlarged. Routine maintenance was carried out as necessary in both school buildings. 147 FACILITIES The facilities available in the Yarmouth Elementary Schools are now inadequate for the present and predicted enrollment. This statement is in no way, a criticism of the buildings that have been built in the past as I believe that the people that were instrumental in providing them did an excellent job on the buildings at the time that they were built. However, we are approaching the twenty-first century and the last few years have brought about tremendous changes and the demands placed upon education in the pub- lic schools. The John Simpkins School Building is now obsolete as to both the size of the rooms and the facilities that can be developed within it. Children learn by doing and the build- ings of the future must be provided with rooms. of adequate classroom size and adequate laboratory space for the de- velopment of a scientific interest in children. All of our children do not have the potential capacity to take advantage of a stepped-up academic course, there- for, in addition to providing the facilities for the stepped-up courses in education that are bound to come additional fa- cilities must be provided for the youngster that will be the average citizen upon which the strength of our country is founded. With these thoughts in mind it behooves the citizens of . Yarmouth to establish a building needs committee that will provide the facilities to meet the new demands placed on education at the present time. CONCLUSION I am including herewith the reports of the Principal, Doctor and School Nurse. Supervisors, and a number of statis- tical reports of general interest. The cooperation of members of this and previous school committees since my coming here in 1946 has been greatly appreciated. My appreciation extends also to the many fine teachers whose united effort has maintained a fine school system. `,, Respectfully submitted; ALFRED R.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools - Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: I herewith submit my second annual report as principal of the Yarmouth Elementary School. Through the combined efforts of the administrative staffs, 0 new elementary curriculum has been written cover- ing the aims, objectives, procedures, and subject -matter fields for all grades. This is important m our effort to coordinate and improve the teaching from kindergarten through grade eight, to evaluate our work, and to make the necessary changes from year to year in keeping with good educational standards. The enrollment continues to increase each year. It was necessary to start the fourth division of the first grade, as well as to divide the seventh grade into four departmental divisions. Consideration of additional space for the ele- mentary school would seem to be a necessity -in -the --near future. The administrative and teaching staff needs have been met by several important changes. Mr. Gregory Drake, as- sistant principal. has been relieved of his -teaching duties to direct and assist with many phases of the school program. Mrs. Ellen Gott was elected to the position of coordinator and supervisor of elementary education, and Mrs. Florence Wilson was appointed secretary for the school. Mr. Daniel Campbell is now full-time physical educational director at the elementary school. Mr. James Davis directs the expanded shop activities, replacing Mr. Andrew Miller who formerly came from the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School one day a week for shop work. Miss Mary Goodnow is the new language arts teacher, added to meet the need of the de- partmental changes in grades seven and eight. The added faculty, with the accompanying program expansion, gives to each pupil better educational opportunities. An important phase of school work is the selection of textbooks. At each grade level, with the assistance of the teachers, a study was made and many books reviewed for the purpose of obtaining for the Yarmouth Elementary School the best educational texts available. I feel that this need has been overcome with the purchase of new basic books in all subjects taught. Science continues to give more assistance to the schools 151 S. 1 each year in the way of new teaching aids. During the past year, the "Controlled Reader" was used for the first time. This machine is not a method of teaching reading but rather a technique for better eye movement, concentration on sub- ject matter with a resultant increase in the number of words. one can read in a minute, and greater comprehension of what has been read. Some of the outstanding events of the school year were the science Fair, the operetta, "Make -Believe Magic," the Musical Jamboree, the assembly programs for parents, the class trip and the graduation held at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. To the faculty members and students who made these events possible, I extend my congratulations and appreciation. - The guidance program for all pupils has been improved by giving the California Achievement Tests in all grades and the Mental Maturity Test to grades one, four, and eight. In addition. the eighth -grade class received the S. R. A. Test along with the Orleans Algebra Test. Individual confer- ences were held with each of the graduates to assist them in making out courses of study to be taken as freshmen at the Regional High School. Mr. Asa Daggett, Principal, and Mr. Henry Levinson, Guidance Director at the Regional High School, held several conferences with Mr. Drake and me to assist in deciding the procedures needed to coordinate the. guidance program of the two schools. I am happy to welcome as new members of the Ele- mentary School Staff Miss Margaret Anderson, Grade I; Mrs. Frances Grander. Grade I: Mrs. Joan Ferguson, Grade IV; and Miss Cynthia Baker, Grade IV. I feel that much has been accomplished in many fields - of endeavor at the Yarmouth Elementary School. This has been the result of all .the school personnel working together as a unit with the benefit of the pupils as the main objective. I takethis opportunity to thank them for their aid to me and— -- to the school. The assistance given to the school by the parents. the Parent-Teacher Association, and other civic organizations within the Town of Yarmouth has been an important factor in the progress of the school. In closing.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I report to the Town of Yar- mouth in regard to the art work in the school. The primary objective this year has been to keep all work entirely creative acquiring a knowledge of such fun- damentals as color theory, composition, perspective, prin- ciples of design and lettering. We are also using more varied materials to an extent greater than ever before. A work shop was held this fall for elementary teachers which covered the following techniques; finger painting, simple silk screen, bulletin boards and uses of natural mate- rials. This project was well received and will be repeated in the spring.. Back drops for school productions have been designed and executed by the children. These stage sets have been helpful in teaching the children to work together as a group and the results have been very -satisfactory. Poster technique is being stressed to bring about the creation of more and better posters from an art point of view. In closing. I wish to thank those who have made my work a real pleasure in the Town of Yarmouth, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake, fellow teachers and the School Com- mittee. Respectfully submitted, PAULINE L. HOPKINS Supervisor of Art REPORT OF THE - SUPERVISOR -OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: When school starts in September, demonstrations are given on the popular band and orchestral instruments. The 153 student rents the instrument of his choice, or uses a school instrument. Two weeks 'are given for the students to obtain instruments, after which time classes are scheduled and in- struction begins. Late -comers are put into a separate class until they have mastered the fundamentals necessary to join the regular class. • The homogeneous class instruction method is used. In- dividual attention is given to correct any faults as far as blow- • ing the instrument is concerned, or holding it. After the first four or five lessons, the youngster can play a simple tune. When each class can do this, a band is formed. The first few minutes of band is spent reviewing fundamentals, then we proceed to read and play from a band book. • Grades four through eight participate in the instrumental music yprogram. - Bthe n of the school School B ndcompares very fa orablyear theY witharmou othermschth o bands. The cooperation of all with whom I have come in con- tact in my school work is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD G. LaPORTE. JR. Supervisor of Instrumental Music REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: One hundred and twenty years ago, Lowell Mason, the so-called Father of Public School Music, presented a report to the school directors of Boston in which he outlined the reasons for including music as a regular part of the school curriculum. He said if children learned to read music and sing well in school, music in the communities would be much improved. Such an objective carried considerable—weight --- then. and since no school subject remains static, through the years other goals and standards have been added to this main objective. There are some ideas on the value of music in- struction which I try to consider as I plan each lesson. 154 Most people think of music as a means of relaxation. Whether listening alone or with others to .a recording,,of a great symphony, or joining with others in a choral group, or just strumming away at the piano, or guitar, music provides an emotional outlet not found in any other activity. In the schoolroom; children should look forward to the music pe- riod as one they enjoy. The lilt of a melody, rhythm, or text all combine to give the lift needed after work that de- mands concentration. School music of today is so varied that every child may have fun in his own way. It may be tieing together a catchy rhythm with words they'll enjoy: Often a discussion of the words will make the song more meaning- ful. Flutophones may be added for variety, as they were used in the Grade III performance of "If I Were Going", presented last February with all three rooms participating. It might be a drum used'in a soldier song; or the tom toms for an Indian or Pilgrim song, or a song with a rhythm they can skip to—anything that will help create the mood -for the song. Rhythm bands, records, autoharp—whatever we can do to the song to make it more meaningful, makes it more fun! The greater the variety of activity the more fun; the more fun, the more valuable the lesson. If children like a song, it gives them a lift that is a re- sult of their singing it. Many times a folk song will do this. The fifth grade spends quite a few weeks singing American Folk Music, and included in this discussion is the American Folk Song Composer, Stephen Foster. The entire fifth grade gave the performance "30 Minutes with Stephen Foster" for the P.T.A. I am sure anyone listening would say their singing was genuine. The contribution made by music to the child's spiritual needs cannot be minimized. In con- nection with Education Week, which coincided with Armi- stice Day, the Junior High students had an assembly, at which they sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". When they reached the chorus. part of the group sang the familiar melo- dy. and another group sang the descant. There were about 150 singing. and you could tell by the way they were singing, they were proud to be Americans. The experience had been a moving one for all who .participated. In creating music, the 'class can make up the tune, the words, or both. Many times a technical problem is drilled in creating. Much creative activity is also recreative. The melodic or rhythmic line may not be entirely original, but the classes really enjoy the creative part of music. Music can be made an interesting adjunct to other school studies. The great number and variety of folk songs from 155 our own and other lands enables the. teacher to reinforce facts presented in geography and history lessons with music. This was done in November when the entire sixth . grade presented "21 Good Neighbors", a musical play about our South American neighbors. They learned many geographic and historical facts from singing the interesting songs. They enjoyed singing in Spanish and doing the dances from these countries. They also learn about many of the men who helped make their country great. and many of the legendary characters, likeDaniel Boone. and Paul Bunyan; places like the Erie Canal and Oregon Trail become real to them; this strengthens their history learning, and serves to create an interest in these different places. As for Music Reading. I try to take a "middle of the road" course, and give them enough reading of notes to give an added interest for those who have that interest. Much time has been spent in organizing a Course of Study to include the eight grades. It covers the Silver Bur- dett series as well as the Ginn series for Grades I-IV, and sheet music is used for Grades VII and VIII as well as class discussion on different phases of music. with recordings about our discussions. Preparation for assembly singing. using the Antericana Collection added this year. is carried on in music classes. This collection is also used by the band. and is used not only for vocal groups. but with combinations of vocal and instrumental groups. The operetta is given by volunteers from the seventh and eighth grade groups. "Make Believe Magic" was performed during March, pro- ceeds going to the eighth grade class. In April. the music supervisors combined efforts, and presented a Music Festival for the towns of Yarmouth, Den- nis and Brewster. The seventh and eighth grades from the 3 towns performed in this group, and it is planned that' an- other be given this April. As I plan for the music program. I try to keep all these ideas in mind; fun and variety in singing and creating, great er spiritual enrichment, a proper approach to music as a language. and using music as a means of knowing and un- derstanding other lands and people. In carrying out this type of music program, the cooperation of Mr. Bearse, Mr. Drake. and all the teachers makes my work very enjoyable. Respectfully submitted EUNICE M.

HOWES, M.D. School Physician - REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (BOYS) - - Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon ' Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: The results of the physical fitness tests were very en- lightening. They showed a general weakness in upper arm strength and shoulder development in a large percentage of our students. Steps are being taken to remedy this condi- tion with the proper conditioning exercises in the daily pro- gram. The junior high after school athletic program has been very successful (soccer, basketball, and baseball)._ Thirty- three hi ty- _ three youngsters participated in the soccer program, twenty- two in basketball, and thirty-one in baseball. Eighty-nine boys enrolled in the Saturday morning basketball program offered to the boys of grades four through eight. In the past year a Cape Cod Junior High School League was organized in soccer, basketball, and baseball and Yar- mouth junior High School participated; equipped in new uni- forms, and brought great pride to their school by displaying good conduct, sportsmanship, and skills in all . the: interschool contests. We also provide in the daily physical education pro- gram units of game fundamentals, gymnastic exercises; and recreational activities with the hope that we are presenting a situation for the development of the whole person to oper- ate at an optimum level through all phases of life. At this time I would like to express the appreciation of the physical education department for the cooperation of the parents. teachers and all school officials. Respectfully submitted, DANIEL M. CAMPBELL Supervisor of Physical Education 159 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (GIRLS) Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools. Bass River, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Kenyon: Physical education contributes to health, strength, and physical fitness ; to social education and to the development of enduring interests and skills. With these aims in view, the program for the primary . grades (boys and girls) and elementary through junior high (girls) provided the follow- ing. Primary : Rhythms—through singing games and exercise. Folk dances—social etiquette, boy asking girl to dance—her acceptance, proper sitting position, etc. Games—simple relays. ball handling (pass and catch) leading up to competitive games. Elementary through junior high: Rhythms --exercise and dance. Skills—for basketball, hockey, softball, etc. Games—those played under supervision of instruct=.--- or nstruct - or and those played at recess periods (free play). The game program provided the children with a con- structive activity for recess period and also a carry-ovcr play for after school. After school activity gives opportunity for the pupil to develop socially in that they are meeting with other pupils from surrounding schools. Spirit of competition, coopera- tion and sportsmanship evolves from this activity.

GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT High school placement tests and Orleans Algebra Prog- nostic tests were given to the eighth grades for class place- ment. These tests give an overall picture of the student's ability and achievement. After conferences with the junior high school principals and parents, recommendations are made as to the assignment of students to, classes. In Octo- ber, all students are given the Iowa Tets of Educational Development which in general indicates the level of their accomplishments. In February the Science Research Asso- ciates Teats of Educational Ability are given to all ninth graders and the eleventh graders are given the Otis Tests of Mental Ability which gives their Intelligent Quotient (I. Q.). the results of the foregoing tests, along with the junior high school results gives a rather comprehensive educational picture of each student. Kuder Occupational Tests are ad- ministered during the junior year. This battery of tests is designed for specific occupations such as, architect, chemist, engineer, teacher, etc., these interest scores serve as valuable aids in counseling the students. • 168 -- 0101 e II i ..

The Warrant was read by the Moderator with the ex- ception of the articles. The articles were read as they were taken up to be acted upon. Acting under Article A, the Temporary Town -Clerk -read — – the results of the Election of Town Officers on the Official Ballot, Monday.

I IiI, I a,...........+.. 11 Finance Committee to authorize the Town Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen to borrow money in anticipa- tion of the revenue of the current financial year, and to issue note or notes therefor payable within one year and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year in accordance with Section 4, Chapter 44 of the General Laws. Acting under Article C on motion duly made and sec- onded it was unanimously voted as recommended by the Finance Committee to assume liability in the manner pro- vided by Section 29 .of Chapter 91 of the General Laws, as amended by Chapters 516 and 524, Acts of 1950, for all dam- ages that may be incurred by work to be performed by the Department of Public Works of Massachusetts for the im- provement, development, maintenance and protection of tid- al and non -tidal rivers and streams, harbors, tidewaters, fore- shores and shores along a public beach outside of Boston Harbor, in accordance with Section 11 of Chapter 91 of the General Laws, and authorize the Selectmen to execute and deliver a bond of indemnity therefor to the Commonwealth. Acting under Article D on motion duly made and sec- onded _it was unanimously voted as recommended by the Finance Committee to authorize the Selectmen to sell at pub- lic sale any real estate the Town may acquire by Tax Title Foreclosures and Takings. Acting under Article E. Indefinitely postponed. Acting under Article F. Mr. Hervey L. Small reported for the Fire Department Needs Committee, appointed at the Annual Town Meeting of 1958 as follows :- The Building Needs Committee of the Fire Department met regularly throughout the year. During its last several meetings it did not function at full strength due to the un- fortunate illness of Mr. Newell. Early it was recognized that the present Headquarters Station in Bass River was inadequate. Recent and future apparatus must be squeezed into stalls lacking clearances both at sides and overhead and leaving little tolerance for loading and unloading operations. In addition, call firemen, on whom the town depends in emergency, were denied suit- able meeting quarters. Although the Committee realized that the need was not immediate. nevertheless it was of sufficient importance to proceed now or in the near future to plan either an addition to the present station or else a new Headquarters Station. The Committee then explored the possibility of reloca- 12 tion, giving particular thought to coverage of the growing Knob Hill section and proximity to the congested South Yar- mouth mercantile area. Dwelling insurance rates are higher in areas both without water and more than three miles from a fire station, and the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association recommended, but did not require that the sta- tion be within three-quarters miie of the most congested sec- tion. After very thorough examination the Committee decided that for the following reasons, relocation was not a compell- ing factor : 1. If and when Knob Hillis served by town water, sta- tion location would be immaterial as regards dwelling in- surance rates and as the town is presently graded by insur- ance companies. - 2. Present location is only one-quarter mile beyond three-quarter mile recommendations for service to South Yarmouth center.. 3. Location and cost of buying necessary thoroughfare - frontage for an acceptable new location might prove difficult and -expensive. -- 4. Present alarm service as long as it can be maintained is economical, and a relocated fire station might precipitate its abandonment. The Committee then analyzed the effect of a new station at present location and concluded that this approach might result in uneconomical waste of existing facilities. The conclusion then was to recommend an adequate addition to the present station at an estimated cost of $40,- 000.00. Although the Committee discussed at length various structural and equipment considerations in order to determine adequacy and expense, it felt that such details should be better handled by a succeeding Building Committee should the town elect to proceed.

Marchant Bradford L. Tallman Marjorie B. Kelly John E. Harris 13 William Bernard Letteney Elwin W. Coombs David L. Barnicoat Frank W. Richards Carlton E. Brown, Sydney. K. Horton and Gordon Clark.

December 31, 1959 BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1959 There were no major changes in legislation during the year which had a direct bearing on Public Assistance expen- ditures. Last year. as in other years, the medical expenditures on behalf of our clients comprised a large proportion of our costs. The reimbursements for categorical assistance were un- changed from 1958, Federal reimbursements of $41.50 having been received for each person receiving Old Age Assistance and Disability Assistance, and $20.50 per month for each per- son receiving Aid to Dependent Children.

With an approximate increase of 34% in arrests, an approxi- mate increase of 19% in accidents reported and investigated, and an approximate increase of 36% in the number of com- plaints received and investigated it gives a very good indica- tion of the constant growth of the town, and the increased I am proud and pleased to say that the town went influx during the summer months. - through the year 1959 without. a fatal accident on its high ways. nor was . there a fatal accident off the highways. Tins I feel is the . result of constant traffic patrols and of actions taken against motor vehicle .operators observed in violations. With two police cruisers, plus the chief's car, constantly pa- trolling the highways some 94 violations of the motor vehicle laws were prosecuted in the courts, in addition to many, 205 to be exact, violations being reported to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for their action. The officers of this Department, I feel, have done an outstanding job in keeping things under control, and while I do not feel I should single out any one man or men, several of them have been particularly outstanding. Particularly do I have -in mind officers who have investigated juvenile com- plaints. Damage by juveniles in the town amounts to several hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars, by the use of BB guns. bows and arrows, and stones. Practically all of this damage has been cleared up by these officers. In some cases court action was found to be necessary, in others -restitution was made to the damaged parties by parents of the children involved. I would like at this time to express my appreciation to the parents of children involved in these actions for their co-operation and assistance in clearing up many incidents. I would also like to express my appreciation to all the other town departments for their assistance and co-operation with this department. It has been invaluable. Respectfully Submitted, HERBERT J.

Present number of services 3353 Services installed 273 Services vacant 131 Number of feet of 1" service pipe installed 17264 Number of feet of 2" service pipe installed 11407 Gallons of water pumped 243,810,817 Stock on hand, estimated value $7,402.50 1959 was another big year for the water department as may be noted by the number of services installed. (273). The large number of services installed will accentuate our prob- lems of supply which has, in the last few years, become in- creasingly critical. This problem of supply which. was first noticed by the Commissioners during the exceptionally dry year of 1957 has worsened under the impact of increased building during the last two years. At the last annual Town Meeting, the Com- missioners asked for and received $15,000.00 from the Town for a complete study of the Water System. The consulting firm of Whitman 8c Howard was retained by the Board to make an exhaustive study of the system with projections made for a minimum of 25 years. This study was to include the following: 1. A record plan of the system as built. 2. A design of the required water main extensions. with costs, to serve the vicinity of Knob Hill with water. 3. Location by well test of areas that should be taken or acquired by the Town for future development of water supply. 4. To determine the locations and sizes of principal water mains, water—supplies, and standpipes that should be built in the near future, and estimate the cost of constructing these improvements. 72 5. To determine the locations and sizes of principal water mains that will be required in the future as the Town develops: 6. To prepare a plan showing the proposed improve, ments so that as each water main, water supply, standpipe etc., is constructed it will fit appropriately into a system that will adequately serve the town in the future. - 7. To determine the effect upon the tax rate and water rates of constructing the improvements that will be needed in the near future. The Whitman & Howard report which is some fifty. pages in length is too long to include herein. Suffice it to say that the report, which is based on statistics of past growth and development with projections of 30 years into the future and with due consideration made for areas of greatest de- velopment, indicates that we will have to have available wells capable of producing 620,000,000 gallons of water a year. The development of this water supply together with the pumping stations, water mains, and a standpipe with a capacity of 3,750,000 gallons will cost about $1,400,000. The Howard report spells out the order in which this work should be done, and why. It is the intent of the water commissioners to proceed at once in the matter of seeking a large sum of money from the town to initiate action' for increasing our supply of water. It is hoped that much of the work can be done by stage construction so that undue stress on the tax may be avoided. As a result of our meeting with Mr. Howard and the Fin- ance Committee we were asked to make a report to the com- mittee relative to our immediate needs. We are taking the liberty of including our report for your enlightenment and consideration. THE REPORT FOLLOWS. We are submitting herewith a report which may be con- sidered supplementary to the report of Whitman & Howard and which is the unanimous opinion of the board as to our immediate needs. There is no question in our minds as to the fact that the immediate construction of two gravel -packed wells and pump- ing stations (Phase 1, Part 2) must be undertaken as soon as possible to provide an additional 1,000,000 gallons of water per day into the Bass River area (South Yarmouth). As you know, this area represents our most critical and vulnerable position. The reasons for this situation are twofold. The So. Yar- mouth and Bass River areas have .probably had 70% of the total new development of our town "during the last five years. 73 This area is the farthest from our two sources of supply which are located on Union St. in Yarmouth and at the northerly end of Abel's Road in West Yarmouth. The demand on sup- ply lines from our wellfields to the Bass River tank plus the friction head that develops in pushing water through long • pipe lines has resulted in an insufficient water supply to the. area where the demand is the .greatest. Therefor, if we are to avoid trouble during the summer seasons and if we are to maintain sufficient water and pres- sure at all times for firefighting purposes, it is imperative that the aforesaid work be undertaken at once. The cost of this work, as estimated by our consulting engineers, is $210,- 000. There is very little of the needed. work proposed in the Whitman & Howard report which will generate any consid- erable amount of revenue that might be construed as offset- ting from the financial angle. However, there is one area that will provide some revenue, and we refer to the Knob Hill section. We are sure that your committee is familiar with the water problems of the people in this area. Included in these problems are offensive smelling water, discoloration of water and associated corruption of sinks, bathtubs, and toilets, and exceedingly high maintenance costs for the individual wells. Year after year the people of Knob Hill have sent dele- gations to the water commissioners imploring us to - grant thein some relief. We cannot ignore them any longer. To do so would be a great injustice. Therefor, we are including in the proposed essential work to be undertaken at this time, the necessary pipe lines to provide relief to these people in their distress. This work is included in the consulting engineers report as Alternate to Phase 1 and entails an estimated expenditure of $194,000. It should be pointed out that this cost of $194,- 000. should not be considered as a cost of supplying water to Knob Hill. since about $100,000. of this amount will be used to construct pipelines which will become an integral part of our greater water system. We believe that the cost of supplying Knob Hill would be between $90,000. and $100,000. We are very hopeful that your group. in your deliberations, and the people assembled at Town Meeting in March will agree to the expenditure of this amount (194,000.) for the re- lief of the people of Knob Hill. Before closing this phase of the report. it should benoted that some 4000 feet of water mains will be laid along No. Main St. thru an area which is 74 a14 iibl+lMPS rP'ULI i.IdI- , Ii,,iii1.� becoming sensitive to development, a fact that might provide revenue which would be helpful in offsetting some of the cost of this installation. Now we come to that part of our report which most peo- ple will be interested in. How much is this proposed work which entails the expenditure of $425,000. to $450,000. going to raise the tax rate? The water commissioners are of the opinion that this expenditure, financed as- a bond issue, will not increasethe tax rate. We base our "belief for this state- ment for the following reasons. . . . 1. We propose to increase the water rates -from. $25. per year to $30. per year. This will: bring into the town treasury about $15,000. in new money each year in the future. Rela- tive to this increase it should be pointed out that there has been no increase in water rates for 29 years. This is in spite of the fact our costs have quadrupled, and we have increased the basic allowance from 40,000 to 50,000 gallons per year to the consumer. We believe this increase to be fair and equitable and long overdue. 2. The Bond issue of 1946 for water purposes will be re- tired in 1960 making available $36,000. to be used as partial. payment of the new bonds. 3. The yearly increase in water department revenue over operation and maintenance costs is about $5,000.. Adding these sums of money together indicates that there, will be available $58,000. to spay off a bond issue of fifteen' years amounting to $450.000 assuming an interest rate of 4%. Ac- tually, a check with Mr. Guinan of the Second Bank State Street Trust Co. indicates that the first payment of' a bond issue of this amount at 4% interest would be about $48,000 and the last Payment about $31.,000. This statement from Mr. Guinan plus the fact that there will be some $58,000 available for payments each year is conclusive proof; we feel, that this work can be financed without having any impact on the tax rate. Summarizing our report to this point, we feel -that a ff--- teen year bond issue for $450.000. to provide an additional water supply to Bass River and So. Yarmouth together with the necessary construction of water lines to supply Knob Hill and adjacent areas with water is absolutely essential to the best interests of the town. Proceeding to other considerations, we feel that once the proposed work outlined here is completed, we should take a few years to evaluate its effect on the water system. The remainder of the work to be done under the Whitman 75 i & Howard report will proceed as the needs arise and in that sequence of order that will be dictated by the aforesaid evalu- ation and the developing areas of the town. It is our sincere hope that circumstances will allow us to proceed at a . pace that will be compatible with the town's ability to meet finan- cial requirements without any rise in the tax rate. The water commissioners suspect that, with the reading of this report, there will be some criticism made of the ac- quisition of the land on North Main St. for the purpose of a source of water supply. We do not and will not apologize for our action in this matter. This land, in the near future, will provide the water department with 2,000,000 gallons of water per day for the greatly expanded water system. The taking of this land during the first stage of development in this area by the real estate people is, in our opinion, sound business, and in the long run will be less expensive to the town. During the years immediately ahead we intend to ask the town to acquire other tracts of land in those places where our test wells have shown us that a good source of water is available. There has been two changes in the personnel of the de- partment. Gorham Clift, who has been with us since 1946, resigned to enter private industry. Gerald O. Cash, Chair- man of the board for the past twenty years, will not run for reelection. Mr. Cash was elected Town Clerk and Treasurer. this year and intends to devote all his time to these offices. Influenced by the town's action in reducing the work week of the police department from forty eight to forty hours, the board of water commissioners met with their employees and subsequently made adjustments in their workweek and salaries in order to bring the department into line with the forty hour week of other town departments. Our maintenance and operation budget of approximately $65.000. for 1960 is the same as it has been for the last two years. GERALD O. CASH EUGENE: HOMER ELWIN W.

Cliief, -Fire Department REPORT OF RECREATION COMMISSION We are again happy to report that the Bass River Golf Course has completed another successful season. Our gross income increased from $50,520.00 last year to $59,416.83 for the year 1959. Operating costs for 1958 and 1959 totaled respectively $35,610.91 and $38,647.80, although approximate- ly $3.200.00 of the latter was used toward construction of a new maintenance shed. In addition we purchased in 1959 a new truck at a cost of $2,697.80 and made improvements to the clubhouse and parking area that amounted to $2,500.00. With major expenditures for our irrigation system and the clubhouse behind us, we anticipate that. an expected excess of income over expense in the next few years will help the town treasury defray the cost of interestandamortization on bond- ed debt that now amounts to about $12,000.00 annually. You are probably aware that we started an intensive fertilization program during the past year. Many favorable comments concerning improved turf and playing conditions have been received despite serious overcrowding during the summer. We propose to continue this program and to make additional improvements to the course in the more congested areas. Our 1960 budget of approximately $44,000.00 includes such items as well as the usual operating costs. In June of 1959, our manager and Golf Professional, Frank Sheehy, retired as Headmaster of Waltham Senior High School. With a new clubhouse and an improved course, we hope to offer the Bass River golfers an enlarged activity schedule including the "snowless" portion of the winter sea- son. We believe that it is appropriate to mention in this report = some convictions that we have developed in the course of our duties. It is apparent that most, if not all, of the private- ly owned golf courses on Cape Cod are gradually restricting guest play during the summer season in order to keep their regular members reasonably contented: We believe that ad - 83 3 ditional golf facilities for the ordinary summer visitor will soon be a necessity, even here in our town. However, tenta- tive inquiries as to -the cost of obtaining an adequate tract of land and construction costs on a "now or later" basis are so high that we feel the Town would not considersuch an ex- penditure. We therefore hope that private enterprise will provide the answer to this growing recreational need. We would again like to thank our employees for their conscientious efforts. Their obvious pride in their work con- tributes much to the pleasure of our golfers and the success of our course. THE RECREATION COMMISSION. NYE CROWELL, Chairman OSCAR W.

SIMMONS REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I hereby submit my report for the year 1959. The Highway Department seal coated 3.0 miles of road and has mixed and placed 3.05 miles of road. One and one- half miles of road have been resurfaced. .. . The Department purchased 91,667 gallons of different types.. of asphalt from Trimount Bituminous Products Co. and 4000 feet of various sized pipe from New England Concrete Pipe Co. which was laid throughout the Town. Thirty-four catch basins were installed. Thirteen new roads were accepted by the Town.--' - - Chapter 90 maintenance money was awarded to Cam- panella and Cardi for Station Ave. in South Yarmouth. Pleas- ant St. and River St. in South Yarmouth were also resurfaced _ with Hot Mix. Sidewalks were laid in South Yarmouth along Main Street and in Yarmouth along Route 6. Respectfully submitted, JAMES C. MARSH Highway Surveyor 84 tid REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS COMMITTEE December, 1959 To, the Taxpayers of the Town of Yarmouth: We hereby submit the report of the School Building Needs Committee: During 1958 the Yarmouth School Committee became increasingly aware that the tremendous growth in school population of the Town called for immediate action. There- fore. a School Building Needs Committee was appointed by the Moderator after a favorable vote was taken at the Town meeting in March, 1959 - the following is their findings: PRESENT SITUATION As of December 31st. 1958 there were 351 building per- mits issued and this does not state how many were dwellings: As of November, 1959. there have been 271 dwelling permits issued. We can only guess at the number of below school age children who have moved into town this year until we have the 1960 census Retires. Our present enrollment of puails in the two school build- ings is as follows: Grade So. Yar. W. Yar. K 45 37 1 38 57 2 45 49 3 36 38 4 39 33 5 46 30 6 39 31 7 36 47 8 28 31 Sp.

As of this year, we have enrolled an additional 194 pupils. All pupils in the grades are seated in the classrooms in groups of 30 or over. The approved number to a room is 25. 25 children get more personal attention from one teacher and do not return home as tired. Five or ten more children in one classroom cause 85 more noise and confusion; overcrowding of desk space and wardrobes and add more children to reading classes. We are now using two of the basement classrooms and will have to use the other next year. The kindergarten has an enrollment of 101 and is using the multi-purpose room. This means -no rainy day use, no plays. and no gym work in there for grade children. Last year there were 95 enrolled in kindergarten - this fall we have 129 enrolled in first grade - a jump of 34 pupils or over a classroom - we should have five first grade rooms instead of four but no room. 97 fourth graders will leave this building in June. - this year we have 101 kindergarten pupils - how many will en- roll in next fall's kindergarten and first grade? JOHN SIMPKINS SCHOOL John Simpkins has an enrollment of 400 children with 13 full size classrooms and one small one. It was built to hold 350 children back in 1931 - incidentally, all the chil- dren in Town and Dennis High School pupils. So, we are already over the quota by 50. This June we will graduate around 85 pupils. Next September 97 new fifth graders will come over : 97 - 85 = 12 more pupils 50 — 62 + extra children who move in over the summer vacation. It won't be long before we are back to using the auditorium as a classroom! These figures all add up to the fact that the rate of growth in pupil entry into the Yarmouth Elementary School System each year is two classrooms over the number of pupils leaving the two buildings and the rate of growth is increasing steadily. THE NEEDS A minimum of 50 regular classrooms plus auxiliary rooms. We now have 25 regular classrooms, we need a minimum of 25 more classrooms. We need, at least, 5 rooms to each grade *from one through five plus auxiliary rooms such as a multipurpose room. a sound -proof room for band practice, an art room and a library. We need 10 more classrooms for the Junior High, an- other cafeteria, and a combined auditorium -gymnasium. We need a kindergarten suite, and a remedial type class suite. SUGGESTIONS The Committee offers the following complete plan : That -the Town build an elementary school of 15 regular. 86 Mfr classrooms plus auxiliary rooms in 'Vest Yarmouth, which would house pupils in grades one throughfive from West Yarmouth and part of the North Side; and That the Town do either of hvo things with the present Yarmouth Elementary School which would make it more usable for. pupils in grades one through five from South Yar- mouth, Bass River. and part of the North Side: 1. That the Town add on three more regular class- rooms, thus making this a fifteen classroom building, and that the Town build a separate building in back of the present Yarmouth Elementary School which would house the kindergarten classes and remedial type classes. • 2. That the Town add on a separate wing to house the kindergarten, remedial type classes, the extra three regular classrooms and. a -multipurpose room; and that the Town add ten more classrooms to the John Simp- kins School. a cafeteria and a combined auditorium -gym- nasium. The Committee recommends for future planning a new elementary school on the North Side. Respectfully submitted MARJORIE B. KELLY, Chairman EDWARD W. AMBROSE WILLIAM D. BOYNE ANTHONY J.

By the end of the year the Department was fully equipped - and except for normal replacements should be in good condi- • tion for some time to come. The personnel of the Department consists of two men. A Town Engineer and Assistant who perform the duties with occasional aid fromother departments in thieavier physical part of the work. The work performed by the Department may be divided roughly into six main groups. __ 1. Road layouts . and bound setting. 2. Road construction, grades and drainage. 3.

We are pleased to report the completion of the Foot - Bridge at Colonial Acres. The Parking Lot at Seaview Beach is completed .and has ' - relieved the parking on the South Shore beaches""a lot. The beach at Grays Beach has been completed by the State and we are asking for a boat Ramp there this . year: We are going to install seats on the beach and the enlarged parking lot should improve that area greatly. Shore erosion has been a problem the last few years on our South Shore, especially at our Town Beaches. The re- building of jetties and pumping of sand will have to be done soon or we will have no beaches. We are hoping for the development of Sea Gull Beach this year. If this is completed as planned it would give our Town one of the best beaches on the Cape and relieve the rest of our beaches greatly. We welcome suggestions for the improvement of our Parks and Beaches. Thanking the Towns People, Finance Board . and Select- men fortheir support in what we are trying to accomplish.

LETTENEY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN AND SUPERINTENDENT OF INSECT PEST CONTROL Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens and Taxpayers of the Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: It is my pleasure to submit my 18th annual report as tree warden and superintendent of insect pest control. We have been working on a tree planting program for the last few years. following the disasterous hurricane of 89 1 1944. This particular hurricane- almost denuded the street trees in .the -Bass River and _ South Yarmouth section of the town.: . Since then, we- have been continually planting shade trees. Under the utility wires, we are using ornamental trees with very satisfactory comments from both townspeople and visitors. The north- side of the town has suffered great losses as the result of the Dutch Elm Disease and here again we are replanting to cope with that situation. We are also planting at the property owners request, many trees along ways within the town. These trees are placed approximately three (3) feet back from the street line on the owners property. The owner has the privilege of choosing the variety, and by this method he has interest in them and proper care is given. . In 1959, we planted forty-six (46) trees and at this writ- ing, we have a nursery of one hundred twenty-two (122) frees of various species ready to be planted in 1960. We will be happy to plant on private property, bordering ways within the town, and those wishing to take advantage of this unusual opportunity may write a post card or letter to the Tree War- den. Town of Yarmouth. South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, and the trees will be planted at no cost to them, providing they allow us to prime, fertilize; and -care -for -them: ---- My report to you in regards to the Dutch Elni Disease . program is that samples were taken from thirty-one (31) sus- pected trees. Thirty-one (31) trees were verified by the shade tree laboratories at the University of Massachusetts as having the disease. At this writing twenty-five (25) of them have been removed and the wood either burned or buried. The remaining six (6) will be removed within a few days. Fifteen (15) of the condemned trees bordered town ways. while the remaining sixteen (16) were on private property. We find that the elm leaf beetle did his damage in areas off Route 6A out of reach of the mist blower. This coming year. I would like to make use of a _belicgvter, and. cover a band of approximately two hundred (200) feet either side of the highway. While attending the annual convention in Boston, I will plan to make such arrangements. I would like to point out to all concerned, that it is un- lawful to remove any elm wood from the town dump. Also, the storing of elm wood as firewood is not allowed. During our annual survey of the town, we are looking for just this. sort of violation. Stock piles of this wood are only breeding areas for the beetle. 90 As to my report, of the Moth Department: We sprayed the roadsides of town ways for the various insects. We found that the control was satisfactory with the exception of the worm attacking the oaks. This worm is not on the list of insects that are governed by state control. Wedid however, spot spray in some cases when requests were made to us by those suffering from a severe infestation. The gypsy moth trapping program was carried on as usual this year, but with an increasing number of catches. I am informed by the state department of natural resources that the program will not be carried on in 1960, but we will have routine cheeks from the air for any defoliation. I am quite satisfied with the method we have been using, but will re- serve my opinion of the aerial survey until I have lived with it for a year. Again, I wish to thank you -for allowing me to serve you, as I do enjoy the work. The town work coincides beautifully with my private business. and also gives me a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to be of service to you. Respectfully submitted, JOHN G.

VERA EDMUND ,FRUEAN, JR. 91 3 REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: As reported last year. the completion of "Project Sur- vival" by the Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency (MCDA) gave this state a coordinated plan to counteract the effects of an enemy attack or a natural disaster. In light of the above mentioned plan and in order to ef- fect coordination, the Yarmouth Civil Defense plan was com- pletely revised and is at present awaiting state approval prior to publication. It is your Director's opinion, that Civil Defense, in this state. suffered a severe blow, this past year, when the Massa- chusetts General Court failed to provide sufficient funds to permit continued operation of both the Area and Sector of- fices of Civil Defense. This is especially true of the Sector offices for it was the Sector Directors who provided easy ac- cess for overburdened local Directors to Civil Defense mate- rial, publications, equipment counsel and, above all, coordina- tion and direction. It is hoped that the General Court will, this year. provide the necessary funds to restore both the Area and Sector offices to full time operating headquarters so that local Directors -can receive the help they so badly need. Your Civil Defense department has continued a modest program of stock -piling equipment and other items which would be needed in any type of emergency. The Yarmouth Auxiliary Police force now numbers 20 men who are all volunteers and who have completed the advanced course in police work and allied subjects. More volunteers are needed as it is hoped to have a minimum of 40 men who would be available in time of emergency. A new basic training course will be started in the Fall of this year. The auxiliary force is under the direction of regular Police Sergeant Richard La France. Assistant Fire Chief Morris Johnson attended the Fire and Rescue course given by MCDA at its training school in Topsfield. Mass. and is now an accredited instructor in this type of work. Under the direction of Fire Chief Dana Whit- temore, an auxiliary Fire and Rescue group has been organ- ized.' Assistant Chief Johnson is directly in charge of the training of this group which now numbers eight men. It is hoped ed to increase this group to 20 trained men before too g. 92 • - Due to lick of by the discontinua ce of coordinating efforts he SectorCD offices, mst local irection caused departments have been on a "status quo" during 1959. This is true of your own department except for the Police, Fire and Communications sections which have all continued to progress in training and readiness. Funds made available at the last Town meeting to aug- ment the fire alarm and air raid warning system were not used and have been turned back to the Town's General Fund. The funds asked for. and received; were based on "cost of installation figures" provided by an outside source which proved inaccurate due to different electric phase and voltage in the area where additional installations were -planned... - No funds for this type of installation are being requested this year as it is felt a more complete survey of the Town's needs for alarms is necessary. 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 WALLACE C. LIBERTY Director APPEAL BOARD REPORT The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth • South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The year 1959 was a rather busy one for the Yarmouth Board of Appeals and during the year the Board considered and disposed of thirty six different matters. The board considered twenty two requests for variances from the provisions of the By -Laws. Of these requests, four- teen were granted at least in part. many with restrictions and conditions. and eight were denied. The remaining business of the Board of Appeals con- sisted of petitions or requests for approval as are provided for in the By -Law. These are matters in which the By -Law provides that the Board of Appeals shall have the right to approve certain specified types of business in defined areas. Many of these matters were concerned with additions to exist - 93 ing. motels and several .had to, do with the construction of new motels. These requests were all disposed of and many of the decisions imposed conditions upon the petitioner. During the year there were statutory changes which are worthy of notation in this report. The first has to do with the recent change in the pro- visions of the General Laws Chapter 40A Section 15 which was amended during the year 1958 in that section of the Statute which. in speaking of the powers of the Board of Appeals to grant variances, states that the Board has the right to grant variances where there are "conditions especially affecting such parcel or such building but not affecting gen- erally the zoning district in which it is located, a literal en- forcement of the provisions of the ordinance or by-law would involve substantial hardship. financial or otherwise to the appellant, and where desirable relief may be granted with- out substantial detriment to the public good and without nul- lifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such ordinance or by-law, but not otherwise." The im- portant change by Chapter 381 of the Statutes of 1958 was the addition of the words "financial or otherwise" which fur- ther defined the intent of the Legislature when they mention substantial hardship. This Statute was in effect for the full year 1959 and was of benefit to the Board in considering the disposition of requests for. variances. The change in Chapter 40A Section 17 which was ef- fective late in the year 1959 i.s also of significance and there- fore called to your attention in this report. This section per- tains to the notice of Board of Appeals hearings_ and now re- quires that the notice of the time and place of such hearing is "to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city or town once in each of two successive weeks, the first publication to be not less than twenty-one days before the day of the hearing." As a.result of this change. it will take approximately thirty days from the date of filing a pe- . tition in the Town Hall to the date of the hearing before the Board of Appeals. I call this to your attention and to the attention of the residents of the Town in order to eliminate any misunderstanding relative to the time involved in pro- cessing a request for a hearing. During the year it appeared that there was a limited area in the Town of Yarmouth for small construction businesses under the present zoning by-law, which from the evidence that was presented to the Board of Appeals seemed to indi- cate a shortage of this type of business area which appears to be needed. It is hoped that during the ensuing year meet - 94 ings will be held with the Planning Board to further consider this need. if any. and in the event that it is determined that a need does exist that provisions be made to meet this need. Respectfully submitted; HAROLD L. HAYES.. JR.. Chairman REPORT OF ,THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board has approved 16 sub -divisions, denied 9 sub -divisions. and acted upon 59 plans which were determined not to require approval. Of the 9 sub -divisions denied, some were taken to the Board of Appeals and some will be resubmitted in correct form at a later date. The above figures represent 9 more sub -divisions and 10 more approvals not required acted upon by the Planning Board in 1959 than in 1958. This fall the Planning Board was approached by our Se- lectmen with a serious problem in regard to Town accept- ance of new roads. Figures compiled -by -the Town Engineer and Highway Surveyor showed that the 23 road acceptance articles submitted for the annual Town Warrant would cost the Town about $130,000 if all were voted in. It was clear what this' would mean to an already strained tax rate. Con- ferences with the Finance Cominittee.- Building. Inspector, Highway Surveyor.. Town Engineer and Selectmen pointed up the fact that the annual increases in taxes from new real estate could not keep pace. with Town expenditure require- ments especially those funds required to accept and improve all these new roads. Studies of future road needs showed a still greater need to try to maintain an even balance of new • taxes to the amount of funds spent on new roads each year. New taxes must also meet higher school budgets. school build- ing needs and increased cost of government without appreci- ably changing the tax rate, The only question. then, was how to keep our road sys- tem in balance with other Town needs so that road funds would not be getting more than their share of new tax rev- enue at the expense of other Town departments or at the ex- pense of the tax rate itself. The Planning Board road rules and regulations .are an answer. It is necessary to place more of the burden of road construction on individuals buying new houses and land with- in the new sub -divisions, a sort of pay-as-you-go program that 95 we hope will benefit all taxpayers by stabilizing the tax rate a little. It was this decision which lead to the adoption of new road rules and regulations which are much more stringent than those of last year. It is not the intention of the Plan- ning Board to stop development and building in our Town. Your Planning Board is fully aware that the construction in- dustry is one of our main sources of economic growth. These regulations are designed to be as lenient and workable as possible and at the same time to get the job -done. Our hope is that developments in Yarmouth will be noted as some of the better ones on the Cape and, with a stabilized tax rate, will prove an attraction for the prospective homeowner to build or buy in our town. In closing this report, a word of thanks to Mr. Elwin Coombs who for five years has contributed his technical knowledge and sound judgment, always with the best inter- ests of the general public in mind. Whether we agree with him or not, we always know where "Babe" stands and why. This in itself is a great attribute. For the Planning Board RICHARD K. JOHNSON. Chairman REPORT OF MID -CAPE LITTLE LEAGUE The Mid -Cape Little League enjoyed a highly success- ful season in 1959. The pennant race between the five teams was most exciting and it is noteworthy to mention that the team known as the Foxes were victorious at long last. -The Foxes were under the guiding hand of Mr. Roger Edwards Jr., a most sincerely dedicated manager of some_six_years of untiring work. The men, who give of their time and effort to guide our young men along the paths of good sportsman- ship, coordination, and a general healthy environment. are certainly deserving of the good wishes of their fellow towns= men. The spectator interest increased in 1959, but manager and league officials are still hopeful that they may see the day when each one of the participating boys (75 in number) may average one parent per boy at each game played. Dennis will no longer be with us as they have formed their own league. Therefore, at a meeting of officials, it was decided to change the name of the league to Yarmouth Little 96 J ...=w.VW11,„ League. Our new fence suffered considerable damage during a high wind in the fall of 1959 and will require repair. Our playing field and facilities were in excellent condition this season and we are certain they will be again in 1960. In closing, may I once more appeal to all parents and friends of the boys to really turn out in 1960 and see that our boys receive the moral support they deserve. . Respectfully submitted, HAROLD A. ERWIN, President Mid Cape Little League To the Honorable Board of Selectmen The following financial report of the Mid -Cape Little League is submitted for the year 1959.

HASTINGS, Treasurer Mid -Cape Little League 97 REPORT OF YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Board of Selectmen South Yarmouth, Mass - -_ Gentlemen:- - - In my 1956 report to the Town I expressed the hope that we might be able to increase the number of hours which the Library would be open to the public. I repeated this hope in my report submitted in January 1959. Last Spring the Trustees voted to increase the number of. Library hours from eight to thirteen every week and fif- teen every other week. Miss Marguerite Small reports an average attendance- of twenty-two at . the story hours which are held on every other Saturday afternoon. She is most grateful to the mothers who have so willingly given their time to help and have furnished refreshments. Our nonfiction wing was beginning to reach the satura- tion point this year and classifications were divided. To re- lieve this situation. on April 27th, with excellent assistance, I started weeding the entire Library Book Collection. We are still working an average of five hours a day on this proj- ect. Books which seem worth keeping, yet have not circulated for a number of years, have been placed on shelves in the cellar. This cellar annex will have its own catalog file. The Friends of the Yarmouth Library is still a very ac- tive organization. This past year the members purchased a Reader to be used to view the microfilmed pages of the Yar- mouth Register. At the moment . the Registers dating from 1836-1907 are being microfilmed. The largest part of this expense also will be met by the Friends members. The Program committee has planned very interesting en- tertainment. one of the most pleasant and informative being a talk given by Mr. Channing L. Bete. member of the Board of Library Commissioners. - Recently. in going over old records. I was attracted to the following portion of a report which I made to the Trus- tees of the Library in January 1942. It follows: "Often I dream of additions to the Library building - one wing pro- viding space for reference books, historical items and a home for the Yarmouth Registers; in the other wing an ideal chil- dren's room - I should hesitate to present this as a sugges- tion at such a critical time, but I do wish to offer it as a 98 -- s Librarian's ever-present dream for the future when peace is restored and we live normally again." It took seventeen years for my dream to come true but due to the generosity of Mrs. George R. Agassiz and Miss Mary Thacher the wings have been added and more and more appreciated with each passing day. Credit is also due to the tax -payers whose financial assist- ance helps us, to a great extent; to maintain and staff this Library. With the exception of a few changes within the building to insure better supervision, my greatest hope for 1960 is for successful progress, through co-operation, in all phases of Library work. Respectfully submitted, MARTHA WHITE, Librarian SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION REPORT FOR 1959 Board of Selectmen - South Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: In submitting my annual report for the year 1959, it is with regret that I note that this is my final report as librarian of the South Yarmouth Library. I have spent twelve happy; and. I hope. useful years in this friendly village, following my retirement from Brookline in 1947 after twenty-five years of service. I plan to retire on May 1, 1960, after my 79th birthday. Because of the crowded conditions and the great amount of work carried on in our library, the Directors have concen- trated their attention in 1959 on making plans for an addition to the library, which will include additional space for books, a young people's room, and an auditorium for meetings and gatherings, with a kitchen and facilities for serving refresh- ments. The architect's plans are printed following this re- port. A fund raising campaign has been carried on, starting with a band concert in July, letters to members and friends, _ and a house to house canvas in the Fall which has resulted in contributions of over $5.000 being given toward the goal of $35.000. Many memorial gifts have been received. 1960 opens with a series of book reviews by Mrs. Helen Beals. Steps are being taken to obtain the services • of a trained and experienced person to serve as librarian. 99 The year just closed has been a busy one as shown by the statistics given below: Circulation Adult juvenile Average circulation daily ' Adult Juvenile Magazines circulated Books added Gifts Purchase Adult. Juvenile Books withdrawn Books in library Adult Juvenile New borrowers Adult Juvenile Visitors Attendance at story hours Average In purchasing books we have given special atten tion le in to filling in books that will be useful to our young P P their reference work and for, their outside reading. Every evening and most afternoons pupils from the Junior High and Regional High School use our library facilities so_ that sometimes they have to sit on the stepladder, when all seats are filled. Last year we purchased aenew set Comp on's e Encyclopedia and this coming ygettingthat pte st Americana Encyclopedia. so that we may be full . equipped d for this work. The largest circulation of books was on a summer day. when 397 books were taken out. Our circulation in winter even is usually over 100. Our visitors . came from all over the United States and from foreign countries including Can- ada. England, Egypt, and New Zealand. Story hours were held for pre-school children. Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, with valued help from parents and leaders. Our bor- rowers include permanent residents, members of old families. retired professional and business people, families with chil- dren:. summer visitors, regular and transient; pupils and teachers, and residents of other towns, who pay a nominal 21,401 14,421 6.980 14a 4B 1,371 470 68 402 326 144 116 Mostly out-of-date fiction 11,994 9,140 2,854 266 191 75 126 160 10 during year 16 100 1' fee for use of the library.

For Library Week held in April of 1959 we emphasized the list of "Significant Books" prepared by the Milwaukee Public Library. These consisted ofd important books from Homer to Faulkner and O'Neill. This collection proved so popular that it was con- tinued during the summer. As before Mr. Haydn Mason wrote (for The Register) an article in honor of the library, books, and the librarian. Part of his tribute was quoted in the November number of the Wellesley Alumnae Magazine, when her class of 1902 presented an account of the librarian with a picture taken at a story hour. It ended with the ques- tion, "Retiring into what Y'' A comparison of the library in 1949 and 1959 will be of interest to the townspeople: the circulation has grown from - 8.820 to 21.402; the daily circulation from 93 to 141; borrow- ers from 1140 to 2875; new borrowers from 35 to 266; visit- ors from 30 to 220; story hours from 3 to 10; rooms used for library purposes from 3 to 6. with 12 additional book cases; Town appropriation from $400.00 plus the dog tax to $3.000.00 plus the dog tax. It will be remembered that the funds formerly had to be "supplemented by money raised from dinners. street fairs, auctions, etc.. The growth of the town. nearly doubled. is reflected in the growth of the library, as in that of schools and churches. In closing I would like to pay tribute to some of our Directors. who welcomed me in 1947 and have continued their active interest and work for the library during the whole time. Among these are Miss Elizabeth M. Hussey, Chairman of the Board for 1960; Miss Helen Mackenzie. secretary of the Board. for 1960, and Mrs. Ellen Maxtone-Graham. still a member of the Board. Dr. George Tupper, whose portrait is in the library and who gave so freely for many years to the garden and grounds. is honored by the Tupper Garden Fund. Miss Aletta Horn still carries on the taking of books to shut- ins and is chairman of the opening in the summer of the Old Mill for the library benefit. All members of the Board 'have helped in upkeep of grounds and house. My grateful thanks go to the people and officers of the town for their loyal sup- port over the years. Hail and farewell. (MRS.)

We are indebted to the many patrons who donated books during the year. There were so many that it would be im- possible to list all the names at this time. There are two, we feel, that should be mentioned - The First National Store in South Yarmouth and the City of Boston School Committee. Their contributions deserve a special note of gratitude and thanks. The Library. observed National Library week last March with an exhibit of books and dolls. A book, donated by the Association, was awarded to Mrs. Henry Lambert. A coffee hour was held and we were pleasedwith the attendance. Our sincere thanks to the Selectmen for their kind con- sideration and to the Taxpayers for their support. Respectfully Submitted, ELEANOR E. FINN - LIBRARIAN • West Yarmouth Library Assoc. 103 REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES District Board Victor F. Adams - Barnstable Earle M. Davidson - Dennis William P. Frost - Yarmouth Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the report of the activities of your Department of Veterans' Services - Town of Yarmouth for the year 1959. This Department has a two -fold purpose : it has a VET- ERANS' BENEFITS section created by Chapter 115• of our General Laws, which says in brief, that each city or town with- in our Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall aid and assist any worthy veteran or his dependents (including dependent parents) in case of need. In 1959 this Department handled 21 cases for the Town of Yarmouth and aided 47 persons. The persons aided are given allowances, for ordinary liv- ing expenses, plus hospital, medical, dental, nursing home care expenses as the needrequires. The Commonwealth re- imburses the Town of Yarmouth one half of each dollar spent for these purposes. Each case is thoroughly investigated by this Department, and the Commonwealth, through its investi- gator, re-examines the case and checks each 'and every one in our file. The secondary purpose of this Department is VETER- ANS' SERVICES. Many veterans from all over the Cape take advantage of these services because this Department is the only one on a full time basis serving them. We answer inquiries in person and by telephone, also type appropriate V.A. forms for the following categories : Education and Training. Insurance, Compensation and Pensions, Loans, Hos- pitalization. Tax Abatements, Housing, Employment, Burial, Bonus and other miscellaneous items. A total of 350 persons were given these services. Your Department wishes at this time to publicly acknowl- edge the splendid cooperation given it by the Selectmen "and every agency of our town. I would be remiss if I did not say that Chief Jason and his staff have been most helpful in transporting sick veterans to our government hospital in Prov- idence, R. I. on many occasions and we are deeply grateful. CHARLES H. CROSS Director and Agent 104 REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES_ January 4, 1960 To the Board of Selectmen, South Yarmouth, Mass.

The Historical Society of Old Yarmouth began its 1959 activities with a Silver Tea and Spring flower exhibition by the West Dennis Garden Cub on June 26th. We hada good attendance as many people were anxious to see the restored' old kitchen. This proved to be very popular and we are proud of it. Some of our visitors were so enchanted with it, that they came again with gifts to be placed there to add to its authenticity and interest. On June 21st. our Society was host for the Spring Meet- ing of the Council of Historical Societies of the Cape and Islands. We met in the Universalist Church in Yanmouthport and afterwards, tea was served at the Captain Bangs Hallet House. September 2nd. saw us meeting again at the Universalist Church. this time to hear Mr. Walter Babbitt of Brewster give a report on a meeting xvhich he attended at Old Stur- bridge on Historical Restoration., This report was most in- teresting and inspired us all to work with renewed vigor. Re- freshments were served in the Parish House after the meeting. Our Annual Meeting was held on October 26th. in the Parish House of the Dennis Union Church. Mrs. C. A. Water- house of Centerville gave a most interesting talk on Old Wall Papers and punch and doughnuts were served by the refresh- ment committee. • Our Sunday Fall House Tour, Flower Show and Tea,. held on September 27th. proved that this Indian Summer activity is most popular. Over 100 visitors attended and en- joyed the houses and the beautiful flower arrangements by the West Dennis Garden Club. We are much indebted to the members of the Garden Club who gave so generously of their time and talent towards making both the Spring and Fall Teas so outstandingly successful. As our last year's Christmas Tea was so popular. we had another one this year on Sunday. December 20th. Again more than 100 guests came to see the old house trimmed with greens and lit with many candles, to listen to the lovely carols sung by the Mid -Cape Singers and to enjoy the punch sand- wiches and cakes which were served. We have had many beautiful :and interesting gifts this year. so many that it is impossible to list them all. Two that must be mentioned are the portraits of Captain and Mrs. Bangs Hallet which were given to us by their granddaughter, 107 -t Miss Anna 'Plummer of New Bedford. We are delighted to have these and they hang in the parlor of the old home. We hope that they approve of what we have done to it. Mrs. Theodore Smith of Bronxville, New York, was our custodian for the summer and was an interesting and gracious hostess. We hope that she will return to us for the summer of 1960. In March two groups of Brownies with their leaders visited the house and in May. wehad the pleasure of showing it to groups of Boy Scouts from the Cape and Islands who were meeting at Camp. Greenough. \Ve have acquired the old Kelley Chapel from South Yar- mouth and have been given the Little Old Blacksmith's Shop which stands on Strawberry Lane in Yarmouthport. The lat- lel was ilie gift of Mrs. Louis Thacher and her children. The new foundations for these are ready and we are waiting for the great day when they are moved to their .new homes. Due to a generous gift from one of our members, we were able to do some much needed painting of the Captain Bangs Hallet House and to do some very necessary repairs. The House Committee listed and numbered all the fur- nishings on the ground floor and had a small catalogue printed with photographs of the portraits of Captain and Mrs. Bangs Hallet on the cover. These have proved to be very popular with our visitors. It may be of interest to our members and friends to know that the Historical Society has been able to help the Town with research on the precise location of White's and Baker's Paths. Also Mrs. Perkins has done an excellent job of re- search on Baxter's Mill in West Yarmouth both for the Town and for the Society. \Ve have had leters from about a dozen people from as far away as Florida and California asking for information on various subjects and in all cases we have been able to help them. This winter we are doing over two of the upstairs rooms and will furnish one as a bedroom and the other one as a children's nursery. \Ve hope that these will prove an attrac- tion to next summer's visitors. I take this opportunity to thank all the kind people who have helped us and who have given us the lovely and inter- esting things which make the Historical Society of Old Yar- n -1611th a living and a vital thing. Don't forget that we want more members. as many as we can get and if you wish to join the Society. send $1.00 to Mr. Howard Jackson, in Yar- mouthport and he will send you a membership card.

There were two cases of paralytic poliomyelitis reported, both cases being over 20 years of age. Since this disease is commonly more prevalent during child- hood. we may assume that the high protection by means of vaccine among the younger age groups was, at least in some part, responsible for this record. The report of the survey on Health Needs in Barnstable County has been distributed to all Boards of Health in this county. Through the courtesy of the Editor of the Cape Cod Standard Tinges, this report was published in full by that news- paper. A long range program of development is contained in the recommendations of the survey team. This department has already carried out some of the recommendations, and efforts will be made to implement others. Staff of the Department as of December .31, 1959: Fred L.

CRISIS IN EDUCATION The first crisis in education brought about the adoption of a universal elementary school. The second crisis resulted in the establishment of universal secondary education. To- day education is again going through a period of crisis. 147 6j Space does not permit going into this important subject at any great length in a report of this type, however, I will bring into focus a few items for thought and consideration. Scanning the history of education we find where in the beginning knowledge was passed from the teacher to the pupil by word. Then followed the passing on of knowledge by the written word. To -day we are living in the age of elec- tronics a new era, but why the reluctance on the part of the majority to make this new medium available to the schools! Another look at education and we find knowledge being disseminated by the teacher, an older experienced person, to the pupil. Knowledge that was known and tested through a vertical processof learning. This method while still having a place is outmoded to -day in our exploding world of prog- ress. What was new this morning is old by night. The verti- cal process of education has got to be supplemented with lateral learning. In many instances to -day the pupil can teach the teacher. Keeping pupils longer in school and giving -them larger doses of this and that according to which pressure group has the public ear will accomplish nothing. Education from an elementary through a college level should be made available to all according to their capabili- ties and desire to learn. The word all includes all age groups from six upwards for in this day and age the potentialities of all.must be developed to survive in the present world com- petition for power. - FACILITIES The school year 1958-59 shows a growth of 89 pupils in average membership over the year 1957-58. The school year 1959-60 will show an equal or greater growth of the school population. # With this continued growth from year to year it becomes imperative that an active building program be started in the very near future. Experience has shown that the time ele- ment involved in the construction of a new plant involves from eighteen to twenty-four months. Considering the rate of growth of the school population and the time involved in the planning and construction of a new plant it isevident that the present facilities will be required to house well in excess of 1000 pupils before relief can be expected spacewise. MAINTENANCE The household arts department was redecorated and a new foods laboratory was completed. III I I I i..:.-ei .1 148 Two new stoves were installed in the cafeteria kitchen. Routine maintenance was carried out as necessary in both 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 send- _ ing 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 the day 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 betweenthe 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 application must be made by the student. and evidence of date of birth must be pre- sented. CONCLUSION I am including herewith the reports of the Principal, School Doctor and Nurse, Supervisors, and a number of statis- tical reports of general interest. The continued cooperation of all members of the School Committee. teaching staff and other school department em- ployees is greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED R.

Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: -- To the pupils, the most vital consideration of a school is the curriculum. Results of the standardized testing program show that our teaching staff provides excellent instruction in the basic subjects. To enrich the curriculum of department- alized grades, new areas of learning now provide the sixth grade girls with sewing, the sixth -grade boys with woodwork- ing, and the eighth -grade boys with mechanical drawing, as a part of their industrial arts program. Plans for further ex- tension of the curriculum include offering a course in one foreign language and revising somewhat the programs in both science and mathematics. For elementary school pupils studying foreign languages, markedly improved textbooks. and other special devices are available now to make such courses practical. Then, to maintain the quality we enjoy in our basic subjects, revision of the science and arithmetic pro- grams will be necessary to include in science such concepts as atomic energy and outer space discoveries, and to provide more complete mathematical concepts for effective co-ordina- tion of arithmetic and science. It is important to direct cur- riculum so that pupils may assimilate ideas to furnish them with background to understand the world of their own day. The new foods laboratory in the John Simpkins building is completed. With the installment of modern equipment, now on order, this facility will give the girls an opportunity to learn and practice up-to-date techniques in preparing and serving food. This study of foods, together with the present, sewing instruction, balances the home economics program. Reports of the supervisors cover in detail the work in their fields. Activities described in these reports are well directed; unquestionably, they are important to the total edu- cational growth of children. Instructors for Saturday -morn- ing basketball at the Ezra H. Baker School in Dennis, coaches for after-school basketball groups of boys and girls, class advisors, and directors of club activities provide additional social, physical, and academic education for the pupils. May I offer theseleaders commendation for cheerful, unselfish, enthusiastic devotion to the extra duties they are assuming? The . principal's problem of providing high educational standards, offering varied activities. and maintaining good 152 discipline would be impossible to solve without considerable help from all school personnel. I am indebted to my assist- ant. Mr. Gregory Drake; to Mrs. Ellen Gott, the supervisor of elementary education ; and to the teaching staff for time- consuming effort to give the pupils of Yarmouth the kind of school all pupils deserve. Resignations and increased enrollment have brought about many changes in the school staff this. year. Several of the teachers involved have been connected with the Yar- mouth schools for a considerable period of time. I thank them for their co-operation in making the changed situation effective and wish them continued success. It is pleasant, also, to welcome those teachers who are newcomers to the school this year. Cleanliness and upkeep of the two elementary school buildings are assigned largely to our custodial staff and to one -maintenance man. I should like to thank .them for co- operation with other members of the staff and to pass on to them compliments given to me by visitors to the school on the appearance of the buildings. Such praise justly belongs to them. In the face of current costs of food. to supply nourishing lunches at reasonable prices requires annually more and more ingenuity and thoughtful study. As the overall director of the school lunch program, I appreciate greatly the helpful advice and assistance given me by Mrs. Elizabeth Keveney and Mrs. Viola Garton. The salary program for teachers, adopted by the Yar- mouth School Committee. displays outstanding comprehen- sion of the factor long recognized as most vital in education: offering children good instructors. Adequate salaries for the present teaching staff and a salary program attractive to out- standing candidates for future positions which will be open here will go far to get and keep good teachers. In closing. I wish to express my appreciation to the par- ents. to the School Committee, and to you. Mr. Kenyon. as Superintendent of Schools for assistance and co-operation dur- ing the past year. Very truly yours, OSBORNE W. BEARSE Principal . 153 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Superintendent of Schools Mr. Alfred R:` Kenyon Yarmouth, Mask.: Dear Mr. Kenyon: I herewith submit my first report as Supervisor of Ele- mentary Education in the Yarmouth Schools. An elementary supervisor is concerned with the educa- tional growth of all children in the first eight grades and kindergarten. Such a purpose implies concern. too, with ev- eryone who helps these children grow. In a constant attempt to improve instruction, the supervisor acts. as a co-ordinator, a consultant. and a helping teacher; offering assistance m research as to methods. materials, and content of courses. With co-ordination of subject matter and exchange of ideas as a goal. seventh -grade, eighth -grade and senior high school teachers of this union have held a series of grout) meet- ings according to subject areas : mathematics,, science: social subjects. and language. Meetings were held for all the first - grade teachers of the three towns to co-ordinate curriculum. Similar meetings will be carried on at other grade levels. Expressions of interest in such meetings have been gratifying. Certainly it is encouraging that so many teachers are eager to know what children have been doing before they reach each grade, and what they will be expected to do as they progress in school. Consultations, to be effective. are based on objective appraisal of ability and achievement. Consequently, as in - the past, California Achievement Tests were given last spring in all grades and California Mental Maturity Tests in grades one. four. six and eight. This fall a new series, the-Sciencc Research Associates testing program. was administered. The achievement tests were given in all grades and the educa- tional ability tests in grades one, three, four, six and eight." Because this testing program is a new one, a workshop was held for all principals, supervisors and teachers so that the New England Director of the Science Research Associates might explain how the results can be interpreted for strength- ening individual and group teaching. In both series, the Yarmouth Elementary Schools scored well above the national norm. The supervisor is responsible for distributing test mate- rials. instructing teachers in the proper procedure of admin- istering tests. assisting with grade one educational ability 154 tests, graphing, and making an intensive study of all final results. Occasionally a child or a group of children needs extra or individual help. The supervisor then assumes the role of - "helping teacher", taking these children from the classroom for special training. Improvement of instruction includes observation -of classes in progress and subsequent discussions with teachers. With new fields in education opening so rapidly and with change of stress in traditional areas, methods of instruction change. too. Keeping abreast with these developments, The Elementary Supervisors' Organization of Massachusetts holds discussion meetings frequently. Because science and mathe- matics are probably the two most controversial subjects at -- the moment, certainly two areas where course content and methods are being examined, Miss Ann McKeon, Mr. Louis Drake. science and mathematics teachers in grades seven and eight. and the supervisor attended a Science and Mathematics Institute at Salem Teachers' College: Last spring the prin- cipal and supervisor attended the Massachusetts Principals' and Supervisors' Association Meet=ng at Amherst. These dis- cussions and meetings result in improved instruction for the children of Yarmouth. - \ly sincere appreciation is extended to the members of the school committee. to you. Mr. Kenyon, to Mr. Bearse. to \Ir. Drake. and to the teachers for the kind of co -operation -7 ---- which has made it possible to carry out our program of better education for the boys and girls of Yarmouth. • Respectfully submitted. - ELLEN F: GOTT . Supervisor of Elementary Education REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: It is with pleasure that I herewith submit my first annual report as Art Supervisor of Yarmouth Elementary School. Three main objectives of the art program being stressed this .year are: 155 1. The creative growth.of each child's imagination and his ability to express himself through the art mediums. 2. The use of a variety of mediums in each grade from first through eighth. This would include painting, e use of clay. 3. Al backgroer undintthe vocabulary crayon work dand history of art. In the lower grades. through use, they learn the mean- ing of words such as mosaic, stencil, dimension. the shape of cones and cylinders, and other words con- nected with art. In the upper grades, particularly seventh and eighth. I have stressed the history of art. We have studied some of the modern masters such as Raoul Dufy, Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin. The scenery for the Christmas Play was done under the supervision of the art department assisted by the seventh and eighth grades. who gave most generously of their time and _ talent. I would like to thank everyone for their kind help and interest in the. art program. . Respectfully submitted, ANDREA M. CAIN Art Supervisor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. -Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River. Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: - I herewith submit my annual report as Instrumental Music Supervisor of the Yarmouth Elementary School. Band work is started at the fourth grade level. The pupils receive two lessons a week during school time. In- struction is given in the mechanics of producing a tone, the manipulation of the fingers. the rudiments of music. and read- ing music. After a period of study, a band group is formed, and soon makes a public appearance. Our fourth grade band consists of seven clarinetists, five saxaphonists. three trumpeters, two trombonists, and three drummers. 156 The fifth and sixth grades have one band period a week, and one lesson a week. This band consists of six clarinetists, three saxaphonists, six trumpeters, two trombonists, one ac- cordian, three drummers, and three flutists. The seventh and eighth grades have one band period and one lesson a week. This band consists of seven trumpeters, three saxaphonists, four trombonists, ten clarinetists, one flue, four violins, and seven drummers. I wish to thank all for the fine cooperation that I ha received during the past year. Respectfully submitted. RICHARD G. LaPORTE, JR. Supervisor of Instrumental Music REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF VOCAL MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. - Dear Mr. Kenyon I submit the following report for 1959: Weekly, I visit each elementary classroom, leaving with the room teacher some music instruction to be carried out during the week. Treatment of the "uncertain singers", or those who cannot match a tone, is given in grades one through three where it is vitally needed. This should be treated in the child's early learning stages so it will not extend to higher grades where it can cause the child an inferiority complex, and a dislike for music. This year. emphasis has been stressed on note -reading with rote teaching being left as supplementary in some cases. In January, grade one will begin the primary steps in music reading. followed later by the first steps in rhythm. In the intermediate grades. staff dictation and rhythm drill from the blackboard is presented. This is then applied to a melodic exercise or a song from the music book. The latter depends on the grade level and the difficulty of the song: Only in this way can a good foundation toward independent singing be accomplished. 157 Song experiences in the first three grades consists of rote songs. some being expressed through various actions. Rhythm band is part of the curriculum. for the first grade, as there° is an available piano. This tends to give the child a more varied musical experience with the advantage of the child develop- ing better rhythm. Since seventh and eighth grade music classes are held one day a week, time is allotted only for singing. Before the Christmas vacation. much time was spent on preparation for a Christmas assembly in which the parents were invited. Ex- tra rehearsals were given for the selected students who .par- ticipated in the program. In January. preparation will be made for the seventh and eighth grade operetta. "Steamboat A-Comin' ". This will be presented by the early spring. When this is completed, there will be rehearsals for -the combined spring concert which will be held at the. Regional High School. This will include all of the seventh and eighth grades in the union: Dennis. Yarmouth and Brewster. Following this. graduation • practice will begin. In conclusion. I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to the administration and teaching staff for their cooperation, and for making my' first year in Yarmouth a .pleasant one. Respectfully submitted. NELLIE MAY PEIRCE Vocal Music Supervisor REPORT OF . THE _ SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Boys) Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with pleasure I submit my annual report as In- structor of Bovs Physical Education for the Yarmouth Ele-. . mentary School. In keeping with the aims and objectives of our program, we are gratified to report a continuing growth in all phases of activity. Activities and participations are as follows : 158 .Physical Education: • Boys Physical Education is offered to and required of all boys in the Yarmouth Elementary School. The third grade to the sixth grade boys have one period a week. The seventh and eighth grade boys have two periods a week. The program consists of calisthenics, individual and team games with emphasis on fundamentals and rules, gymnastics and self -testing activities which include tumbling and fundamental work on the apparatus. The value of sportsmanship. fair play. fitness and healthful living are paramount in the mind of the instructor in all his classes. Soccer: Forty-three boys- answered the call for soccer this past fall and were instructed in the fundamentals of the game_ . They have developed a very high team spirit and competed - in the Cape Cod Junior High Soccer League. Basketball : The 1959-60 Basketball season is in progress with our seventh and eighth grade team participating in the Cape Cod Junior High Basketball League. I would like to express my thanks to Mr. James Clarke, Jr. for coaching the sixth grade boys .in basketball. Saturday Morning Basketball:: . Every Saturday morning. 160 boys participate in our basketball program at the Ezra Baker School.

Mr. William Chap- man of Dennis, and I wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Louis Drake and Mr. James Clarke. Jr. for their invaluable help in assisting us in carrying out our program. Baseball: Very high interest in Baseball is shown by the boys of grades seven and eight of the Yarmouth Elementary School. A large number of boys eagerly await the good weather which brings competition with the boys of the other Junior High Schools. • • At this time 1 wish to. express :my appreciation to the par- ents. teachers and school officials for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, DANIEL M. CAMPBELL Supervisor of Physical Education • 159 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Girls) Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon : It is with great pleasure that I herewith submit my first report as Supervisor of Girls' Physical Education in the Yar- m_ outh Elementary Schools. In educating children, we are concerned with all facets of their development. Thus, in our physical education pro- gram. we strive to aid in the exploration and development of physical and mental fitness. We seek to cultivate thechild's latent potentialities as well as his obvious potentialities. We hope that through our program we may contribute to the coordination of the child's physical, emotional, and social being. There can be no hard and fast rules, no one set system or method of teaching physical education to insure the suc- cess of the program. Instead, the teacher must select and adjust her program and materials to the needs of the partic- ular group. She must allow for individual differences. for it is a known fact that learning is accelerated if the experience is satisfying. Thus, the instructor must find a way of�presen-- tation which will consider the ages and capacities of the group. She must stimulate development by -use of methods which are motivated by encouragement and achievement. These latter two words are very important in the speed of the response and development, because children love to be successful. Whether a child's achievement is great or small, with a little encouragement, he will almost always try to outdo that which he has already done. It is my privilege to have both boys and girls in grades one and two: This is a mostrewarding age, because the pu- pils are always enthusiastic, eager and abounding with en- ergy_ Their limitless energy spills over into such activities as dancing. singing games, finger plays, mimetics, games of low organization. simple exercises, drills and posture control. In grades threeand four, skills are reviewed and de- veloped into more advanced skills. Rhythm is stressed through various kinds of dancing and rhythmical exercises. Contests and relays are an integral part of'the program at this level. These are used for introducing, acquiring and perfect- ing the basic skills of ballhandling, the elements of move - 160 ment,- and other fundamentals of coordination. These es- sentials are importantin preparedness for competitive play, which is started at this level with such games as Prisoner's Ball, End Ball, Goal Ball and various others. In the fourth grade, special emphasis is put on lead -up games, utilizing elements and skills of Basketball, Newcomb, Softball, Volleyball,. Soccer, and Kickball. On the fifth and sixth grade level, there is a continuation and progression of the rhythms, dancing, rope jumping, ball games, and the constantly emphasized posture control. Sev- eral new activities are introduced. Mat work, individual stunts, team stunts and pyramids are among the favorite new activities. The use of Indian Clubs and wands is initiated and enthusiastically received, as each student is eager to demonstrate his prowess in a new endeavor. The seventh and eighth grade program is the culmina tion of all the elementary training. Intensified programs in all phases of individual and team sports are stressed. Special attention is given to basketball, volleyball, softball, hockey and soccer. Many new activities.are initiated into this pro- gram. Each activity is preceded by a brief warm-up period, consisting .of exercises selected in accordance with the ac- tivity in which they are about to participate. The complexi- ties of the new activities of badminton, trampoline, modified wrestling. springhands, ballroom dancing, and use of the buck and horse require mental and physical dexterity. Thus, at this level we hope that we have achieved our goal of "total fitness". - An afternoon activity program, initiated by Mrs. Hill last year. has been continued and tie response has been most gratifying. This activity program gives the pupil a chance to apply those skills that he has learned in class and to gain new skills and understandings. Thus. in closing, may I say that throughout the elemen- tary grades we strive to progressively develop step by step, the qualities of agility, balance, rhythm, speed, strength and endurance. As the cliild matures, we hope that these quali- ties will have a lasting and rewarding effect. I sincerely wish to thank you, Mr. Kenyon, Mr. Osborne W. Bearse. Mr. Gregory Drake, the entire faculty and per- sonnel of the Yarmouth Elementary School, the School Com- mittee, and the Parents for their support and cooperation. I especially wish to offer my grattude to Mrs. Geraldine Hill for her advice and assistance in making the physical educa- tion program a success. Most of all, I wish to thankthe stu- 161 dents for their interest, enthusiasm and loyalty; for our pro- gram is only as successful as .the students make it. Respectfully submitted, MADELYN C. ELDREDGE Supervisor of Girls' Physical Education REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon' Superintendent of Schools 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. The most common de- fect has been dental caries. There has been a good deal of improvement in dental care noted in the past few years but there is room for further improvement. 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. School bus drivers have been examined regarding physi- cal disability and contagious disease. First-aid has been given as required in cooperation with the nurse and the students family physician. Cooperation on the. part of the School Nurse. Superin- tendent of Schools. Principal. -teachers and parents has this year as in the past been excellent. Respectfully submitted, H. E. HOWES, M.D. - School Physician REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE Mr.. Alfred R. Kenyon Surerintendent of Schools Bass River, Mass. Dear Mr. Kenyon: I am pleased to submit my third annual report as School 162 1 Nurse of Yarmouth Elementary School. My time is divided: between two schools, the John Simpkins Building and the Yarmouth Elementary School. Annual physical examinations, as required by law, were given to all children by the school physician, Dr. Hermon Howes, assisted by the nurse. : Physical defects discovered during the examinations are reported to the parents, and health observations for each child are kept on a cumulative health card recorded by the nurse. Early in the school year,• all students are weighed and measured and these are recorded. on their health cards. The Massachusetts Vision Test was . given to 788 Yar- mouth students. After vision rechecks, 23 students were found to have impaired vision. Those who appeared to need treatment were referred to an occulist, others were taken care of privately. In March. the annual Eye Clinic, sponsored by the Barn- stable. Yarmouth and Dennis District Nursing Association, was held at the Cape Cod Hospital. Six students from the Yarmouth Elementary School attended this clinic. The Maico Audiometer is used to test the hearing of all Yarmouth students. Seven children were found to have a hearing loss. Parents were notified, and in most instances they sought medical advice. A few requests that a hearing test be given children already being treated by their family physician were granted. and an audiogram was sent to them by the nurse. Six Yarmouth students regularly attended the Crippled Children's Clinic held monthly at the Cape Cod Hospital. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Public Health, had a survey on the Epidemiological study of accidents among public elementary school children in Massa- chusetts. This. program started in October and finished in May. Monthly reports were sent in from the Yarmouth Ele- mentary School, reporting twelve accidents. Kindergarten and First Grade registration took place in May at the Yarmouth Elementary School auditorium. An in- teresting talk was given to the parents by the Principal, Mr. Osborne W. Bearse. September 13 a clinic was held at the Yarmouth Ele- mentary School. Kindergarten, first and fifth grade students; who had their parent's consent. had booster immunizations for diphtheria and tetanus. Dr. Moore, of the County Health Department. administered to 178 children, assisted by the nurse. At the same time, fourth doses of poliomyelitis vac- cine was offered and given. to 117 children in kindergarten 163 and first grades only, whoalso had the consent of their par- ents. During the year, accidents occur on the playground. First Aid treatment is given. and if of a serious nature, the parents are notified. Every possible care is taken to see that a pupil receives prompt treatment for any injury. This past year, . due to consultations with the Principal and teachers. many social service visits to the home have been made. making close contact between the home and the school program. I wish to thank everyone for the cooperation and courtesy given me as the School Nurse. Respectfully submitted, MARION E. CHAPMAN, R.N. School Nurse ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT Mr. Alfred R.
