YARMOUTH WATER DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORTS Town of Yarmouth 1974 .Jn J' I' rtnnriam LOUIS J. STARE The people of the Town of Yarmouth acknowledge the services performed for the Town by Louis J. Stare. He gave of his time and knowledge to the Ration Board and then to the Draft Board, serving the Town's interests for some thirty years. May he be remembered as a dedicated public servant. HARMON W. SMITH 1905 - 1975 Yarmouth has lost a friend. A good and gentle man, Harmon W. Smith was known by a generation of Yarmouth and Cape Cod youth while he served as Scout Executive, Cape Cod Council, B.S.A., and Director of Camp Greenough from 1957 until his retirement in 1970. Actively and deeply involved in Rotary, the Historic Society of Old Yarmouth, the Cape Cod Genealogical Association, and the Cape Cod Writer's and Illustrator's Association, he was a past Presi- dent of the Cape Cod Council of Churches and a Corporator of the Bass River Savings Bank. Recently, as its Vice -Chairman, Harmon became the spark behind the Town's Bicentennial Commission, leav- ing us the Liberty Pole on the Town Office green as a permanent re- minder of his efforts. His indefatigable energy, his wit, and his Catholic interests made him a universal man. Harmon Smith's phil- osophy of life is best exemplified in his own poem. "To You With Love In Mind" written in the Spring of 1974. TO YOU WITH LOVE IN MIND To you with love in mind, These herbs, I planted here In memory of you. Recall those priceless days And bring you near to me: And when the morning dew Falls gently on the mint, The savory and the thyme, Oregano and dill, They waken memories Grown dearer through the years, of Garden by the hill Thank you, Harmon. Of treasurer chives and bay, Of parsley, tarragon, And wondrous sage, A world of mystery, Of legendary tales, Of ancient, bygone age. Your culinary arts, Your gardening skills, Your power to cheer The troubled one, learn Again in memory From herbs I planted here. Harmon W.

New programs and opportunities have been added to the present facilities at the West Yarmouth Community Building on Lewis Road in West Yarmouth. Eugene M. Desruisseaux remains as present Coordinator with the addition of Katharine Gray as assistant to the Coordinator. Both have been busy with additional counseling in the areas of school, work, and family. The Youth Commission has become increasingly involved in working with other community agencies such as HELP of Cape Cod and the Office for Children. We have also developed a Youth Association of representatives made up of teenagers elected by their peers. They are involved in making decisions in the administrations of the Youth Commission. They are also important in supervising their fellow teenagers at all functions. Of the seven man board, the officers are Dean Christensen, President, Mark Campbell, Vice -President, Anthony Govoni, Treasurer, and Sheila Slade, Secretary. The center remains open on a frequent basis and new classes are being offered in Batiking and Fencing. Other successful classes have been Silversmithing, Candlemaking, and Copper Enameling. Movies are enjoyed on Wednesday nights and attendance for these is good. The teenagers especially enjoyed the visit by the rock band "Etcetera", from California, who made a stop in Yarmouth while on tour through the country. Repair work was done by the youths and their parents on the Basketball court outside the building, which is a popular spot for youths to meet for basketball games. Extensive remodeling was also done to the upstairs of the bullding by the youths and including teenagers involved in the Neighborhood Youth Corps program. Popular this winter, were the special parties planned for the holidays. Attendance reached maximum capacity for all parties, and these will be continued next year. In an effort to involve the youths in a community effort, Yarmouth Clean -Up Day was held in the Spring, in cooperation with the Park Department. Our Summer program was held at the Mattacheese Middle School and also at Englewood Beach. Sailing was held again this year with a very good attendance and other popular programs included organized Basketball, Fencing, Karate, and other sports. Two camping trips were held, one at Nickerson State Park in Brewster, and the other at Camp Greenough in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America. Another popular event was a 20 bicycle trip to Nantucket Island, with about 24 young people making the trip. All Yarmouth Youth Commission functions are free of charge to Yarmouth youth residents. We anticipate that 1975 will be a year of growth and development and we wish to thank the people of Yarmouth for their continued support. Richard F. Jenney, President Reneau J. Bouchard, Vice -President John A. Baldasaro, Treasurer Doris L. Scott, Secretary Respectfully submitted, Ernest J. LeBlanc Virginia Hollitz Harold M. Gaffney REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT District Board: Carl Hiler, Sandwich Chairman Martin Hoxie, Barnstable Charles Eager, Yarmouth Joseph Merchant, Dennis Frank Hicks, Mashpee I hereby submit my 1974 annual report of the District Department of Veterans' Services. The Veterans' Service Department serves as a ONE STOP CENTER for Veterans, and, in addition to our duties to aid, assist and advise, as stated in Chapter 115 and 48'3 of the Massachusetts General Laws, we counsel, file claims, explore every avenue of resources and revenue available, make them aware of their own assets and treat them as human beings, with dignity and courtesy. 21 A total of 5791 people visited our office for service and assistance. During the year, we handled 6839 incoming telephone calls with all kinds of questions and advice. Included is a report from the Investigator, Sidney L. Chase. The Department wishes to thank the Boards of Selectmen and their various Town Departments for their splendid cooperation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Cross Director and Agent REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICES INVESTIGATOR As Investigator of this Department, I investigate each application. After determining that the Veterans are eligible, I break them into two categories, Permanent and Temporary. Permanent cases are investigated every six months and Temporary cases are investigated each and every month. For the Calendar year 1974, there were a total of 316 investigative reports. I, also, try to keep abreast of all eligible Benefits for Veterans and to inform as many as I can and assist them in obtaining these Benefits. On an Emergency basis, I transfer needy Veterans to the various V. A. Hospitals in our area. Respectfully submitted, Sidney L. Chase Investigator 22 REPORT OF THE TOWN SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: The year 1974 was a productive and highly successful year for the Engineering Department. Seventeen (17) new roads were laid out for acceptance and construction and nine (9) Town roads were reconstructed under departmental supervision, one of which was Old Town House Road from Station Avenue to West Yarmouth Road. Drainage problems in several areas of the Town were solved and work is continuing in this field on a large scale. Twelve new Assessors maps have been completed. Planning Board inspections, site plan reviews, Conservation Commission and Water Department plans for purchase and takings were prepared for public use and water supply. I would like to express my thanks, as well as the thanks of the Engineering Department staff, to the citizens and other Town Departments for their cooperation and support. Respectfully submitted, John L. Newton Town Surveyor REPORT OF YARMOUTH LIBRARY Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: I am happy to submit the following report for the year 1974: 23 STATISTICS Periods Circulation Open Attendance Afternoons 20,155 156 6,685 Evening 1,833 51 649 Friday A.

Being near the Yarmouth Port Depository enables us to borrow, especially the films, on short notice. We are grateful to Frank Finn, Jr. and Shirley Lyons. They are always cheerful, helpful and very co-operative. Mr. Theodore Childs is the newly elected President of the Yarmouth Library Friends organization. He and his loyal staff have contributed a great deal to the continuing success of this group. All joint efforts of Trustees and Friends members have been, as usual, most rewarding, financially and socially. National Library Week opening on Sunday, April 21st and the annual Christmas Wassail party on December 10th were two of the 1974 highlights. Our sincere thanks to all who helped to make these two outstanding events successful and to the members of the Program Committee who furnish excellent programs throughout the year. To me, the most heartwarming of all events is the Saturday morning children's hour. It is well attended and the children's conduct is unbelievably good. Even the periods between film showings find the children normal, healthy and active -no problems! The height of this 24 pleasure is to find so many young fathers driving their children and patiently and happily returning for them. This fact offers hope and dispels the fear that the young couples of today are irresponsible. The ones whom we see are just great! We were very sorry this year to have John Hull resign as Treasurer of the Association, an office which he had- held for thirteen years. The Trustees and Corporation members enjoyed a testimonial luncheon in John's honor on October 15th at the Yarmouth Inn. Mrs. W. Redford Alves, Mrs. John Farmer, Mrs. F. M. meson and Mrs. Hosea Wheeler, members of the Yarmouth Garden Club, have supplied the Library with plants, bouquets and arrangements, also very appropriate Holiday decorations. We extend our thanks to these members and to all of the Garden Club members for donations of money for the purchase of books. These gift books have been greaily enjoyed by the readers. We were fortunate in having two Japanese dolls -a bride and a shell girl -on permanent loan from Mrs. Hazel Bundy. These dolls were given to the then Major Bundy while she was stationed in Japan. They add color and beauty to the Library interior. Due to the generosity of Miss Florence Klose the Library now has several shelves of cook books of all descriptions. What makes these cook books unique is that Miss Klose has tried many of the recipes and has made helpful and amusing marginal comments. To the members of the Board of Trustees, to Mrs. Arthur Smith and Miss Shirley Lyons, assistants, to Mr. Alexander Buchan for reviewing books and for ably and efficiently taking the office of Treasurer, to the Borrowers, to the Selectmen, members of the Finance Committee and the Taxpayers we extend our grateful appreciation for their co-operation and continued support. Respectfully submitted, Martha U. White Librarian Yarmouth Library Association 25 REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen: We are pleased to submit herewith our annual report for the year 1974. This has been another busy year for the South Yarmouth Library. Our total circulation has increased 4,693 volumes over 1973 which is very gratifying. CIRCULATION Adult Juvenile Periodicals Records Pictures Pamphlets Total 39,695 9,013 899 340 8 26 49,981 Number of days open - 252 December 31, 1973 Books added 1974 INVENTORY 16,894 1,263 18,157 Discarded - 1974 267 TOTAL - December 31, 1974 17,890 The South Yarmouth Library has been the recipient of a flag given to us in memory of Miss Florence Miller who lived in our village for many years. A flag pole will be erected in the Spring so that we may use this fine gift. We have added a new service to our patrons. We have purchased some framed reproductions of paintings which we will circulate for four weeks at a time. They are very attractive and we hope that our borrowers will enjoy them. Once again, we are grateful to the South Yarmouth Woman's Club for the gift of books given in memory of members who have passed on. We are also grateful to the Garden Club of Yarmouth for the lovely plants and decorations they have supplied to us throughout the year, as well as for several books they have presented to us. We continue to use the Eastern Regional Depository in Yarmouth Port and appreciate the service we receive from Miss Shirley Lyons and Frank Finn, Jr. Our Story Hour has grown with the years and we now average about thirty children each time. Mrs. Silas Stowe continues as director with the able assistance of Mrs. Jean Bingham. 26 We have recently purchased a copying machine and find it to be a great time saver. As in the past, I have attended many meetings in an effort to keep up with the new books and materials, and the new trends in library service. This year I attended Massachusetts Library Association meetings in Boston and Hyannis, the American Library Association annual conference in New York, the New England Library Association annual conference in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and various area meetings. I feel that these are important in our never ending search for more and better service to the borrowers of the South Yarmouth Library. Space does not permit naming each and every one who have contributed to the successful operation of our library this past year. However, we do wish to thank our staff, Nancy Stewart, Rachel Stowe, Jean Bingham, and Sandra Rogers; our volunteers Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Armin and Susan McNary; our Board of Directors and especially Mrs. Ann Maxtone-Graham for their tireless efforts and interest in our library. And to everyone who has donated money and books, thank you for these things and for your friendship. Respectfully submitted, Virginia M.

A pre-school story time has been held every Tuesday afternoon giving little non-readers an opportunity to enjoy our library. During Children's Book Week we sponsored a book poster contest at the West Yarmouth Elementary School and the prize winning works were put on display at the library. During the year our staff attended workshops sponsored by the Eastern Regional Library System as well as meetings of the Massachusetts Library Association and the Cape Cod Library Club, which proved to be helpful and informative. Through the generosity of the Yarmouth Garden Club we were able to enjoy many seasonal floral displays and wish to thank them for the time and effort given to this project. We wish to thank all the volunteers who gave service to the library, especially Mrs. Louise Lawson for the attention given to the record collection, Mrs. Edith LeBlanc on telephone committee, Mrs. Marilyn Peterson and Mrs. Eugenia Cadman. We also wish to thank our most able staff, Mrs. Edith Cavander, Mrs. Lee Wetjen, and Mrs. Diane Nielsen and our Board of Trustees for the wonderful cooperation and support received this past year.

Robinson Town Collector 32 REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Building Inspector for 1974. A total of 551 Building Permits were applied for and issued for construction estimated to cost $23,426.25. These permits were: 184 residential, 84 non-residential, and 517 for pools, alterations and additions. The department has three full-time men to cover building inspection, sewage inspection, agent for the Board of Health, sign inspector, Sealer of Weights and Measures, Town By Laws enforcement and occupancy permits for all buildings. Occupancy permits total for 1974 amounted to 218 for new residential buildings. Problems and work load have been on the increase, and this year we have new laws changing the building code to a State Code, the passing of Chapter 214, which requires smoke detectors, and Chapter 528 which established an Architectural Barriers Board to make rules to facilitate the use of public buildings by the physically handicapped. The Building Inspector also has to take over all the inspections of public buildings, schools, theaters, nursing homes, etc., that were inspected by the State Inspectors before January 1, 1975. This means an added work load of inspections and responsibility to the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, Howard Spun Building Inspector REPORT OF THE PLUMBING AND GAS INSPECTORS We hereby submit our report as inspectors of Plumbing and Gas for the year 1974. During the year we made a total of 773 Plumbing Inspections and 569 Gas Inspections on permits that were issued. 33 The income from Plumbing permits for the year 1974 was $4,367.00 and from Gas permits for the year 1974 was $2,868.00 The fire department calls on the gas inspector in regards to a fire in a home or place of business that has gas installed on the premises, regardless of time of day or night. Respectfully submitted, James J. McDonald Robert S. Harwood Plumbing and Gas Inspectors REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES The purpose of the Sealer of Weights and Measures is to see that both the Consumer and Merchant are both protected. The following is my report for the year 1974. As the Town grows so do the Mercantile establishments and Gasoline Stations, entailing more checking and testing. The State of Massachusetts has made the Sealer of Weights and Measures responsible for enforcing the unit pricing law for the consumers council.

Respectfully submitted, Emanuel M. Wensley Sealer of Weights REPORT OF WIRING INSPECTOR I hereby sumit my report as inspector of wiring for the year 1974. During the year I made •a total of 722 wiring inspections on permits that were issued. Also I spent 242 hours in the office and covered 2000 miles to make these inspections. I'm also on 24 hour call in case of fire damage which has to be' inspected and tagged for the power company and fire department. Respectfully submitted, John Stever Wiring Inspector 35 REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen: At the Annual Town Meeting in 1974 seventeen new roads were voted and accepted and five roads were voted for reconstruction. Because the new fiscal year did not begin until July 1 we could not start work on these roads until then. Consequently seventeen roads were finished and the remaining five will be done in the spring. On Long Pond Drive fourteen hundred feet of sidewalk with curbing was constructed from Treasure Lane to Route 28. A large amount of drainage was done in the Town using 54 leach basins and 3146 feet of aluminum pipe. Approximately 1000 catch basins were cleaned out in April and September. The painting of the salt shed was completed and is now filled with salt for winter. The two road sweepers, one Town owned and one rented have worked 816 hours since July 1, 1974. Two summer boys worked for ten weeks picking up the litter on the roadsides. The Sign Department employs two men who have made and installed 683 signs this year. These men are continually replacing signs that have been vandalized and this problem is a serious and expensive one. Patching roads is constantly being done to hold our roads and washouts are filled after heavy rains. Also all dirt roads are graded at least once a year. We feel it would be practical and economical to reconstruct more old roads in the Town before we lose them entirely instead of voting so many new roads every year. Respectfully submitted, James C. Marsh Highway Surveyor 36 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL COMMITTEE The year 1974 in the annals of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School will be remembered as the year in which a steel structure at the intersection of Route 6 and Route 124 became a brick building that all citizens in our eleven towns should be very proud of, because your participation as voters made it possible. As of this writing the building should be ready for partial occupancy during the month of February. Concurrently with the development of the building the School Committee, it's sub -committees, and the administrative staff, have been working and meeting in the Gilmore House on staffing, program development, operational and financial policy development and student enrollment. To us, the voter acceptance of a vocational school for Cape Cod was based on the premise that such a facility will have the capacity and expertise to give the knowledge and marketable skills of the faculty to those secondary students who have the desire and attributes of utilizing this knowledge and skill to become wage earners, have the foundation for advanced education, or to become craftsmen in their chosen skill. The capacity factor, so often underestimated in other vocational undertakings, was wisely established in the sizing of the facility by the Committee two years ago and we do expect a student enrollment of 900 students in September 1975. We are now deeply involved in the identification and selection of professional and non-professional staff upon whose shoulders will rest the responsibility of attainment of the voter's objective. However well planned and constructed, the building and it's modern equipment is lifeless - it will be this staff that will justify the investment made toward the primary goal of student training and accomplishment. We enter this crucial period with a firm outline of academic, vocational and administrative organization to be staffed progressively downward from the office of Superintendent -Director to assure the opportunity of selectivity in the staffing by those who have the major responsibility for teaching effectiveness. Now we have under contract Mr. Frank Goodwin, Vocational Coordinator, Mr. Christopher Borden, III, Academic Coordinator, Mr. Orren Bradstreet, Coordinator of Pupil Personnel Services, and Mr. Bernard Holmes, Area Occupational Coordinator. 37 Each of these men have the academic credentials, the experience, as well as state and national recognition for excellence in their fields. These men are reviewing the selecting for interview well over 1300 teaching applications from all over the country to identify and recommend the personnel that will ultimately complete our faculty. Men and women of excellent credentials and experience are applying - we should have a staff second to none. Time together will be required to mold these people into a cohesive, intrasupportive faculty for maximum student benefit. It is for this reason we have budgeted for staff and program development during the summer months of 1975. To promote an early and sincere recognition of the importance of effective education for the least tax dollar, we sought and found an experienced business manager to oversee all financial and non-professional operations of our school. Mr. Harry Gravlin, with a Master's degree in Engineering, brings 30 years of large and small business management to our staff, who will, under the competent advice of our treasurer, Mr. Dean T. Fleming, bring effective financial control . With this key personnel now functioning, the progressive appointment of staff from high level applicants, the eminent completion of our facility and confidence in our program of education, we approach September 1975 with enthusiasm and the determination that we will justify the faith of the voters expressed in 1971 to provide our young men and women the opportunity for exciting and career forming secondary education, - it is the only reason for which we come together. Plans are now being developed to arrange meetings with groups of students, parents, civic organizations, and citizens to describe in detail the programs that will be offered in September 1975. In the Spring we hope to be able to have conducted tours of the building. In conclusion we, the committee, wish to again take this opportunity to thank you for your tremendous support during the year 1974, and we look forward to your continued support in the future. Our Superintendent -Director, Mr. Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., has his office in the house right on Route 124, the telephone number is 432-4500, and if you have any questions he would be glad to discuss them with you. Respectfully submitted, R. Arthur Williams, Chairman Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District School Committee 38 REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission is continuing to make positive progress in its many programs, which are planned with definite goals that will be of the greatest value to the Town. Many of the Conservation areas have been reforested and beautified by members of the Commission with the assistance of a group of students from the Four in One Work Study Program of Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. Two of the girls from this program received National recognition for their efforts. Many Wetland Act hearings were held and order of conditions issued by the Commission. The Commission accepted with regret the resignation of Mr. Raymond Syrjala, who was replaced as Chairman by Mr. Lee Colton. Mr. John Silver Jr. and Mr. Stephen Bik were appointed as new members. Since our last report, we have acquired 390 acres, to make our land area approximately 655 acres. Of this total, approximately 100 acres is marsh land and easements on approximately 216 acres. Your loyal support helps us to succeed in this valuable work. Lee M. Colton, Chairman John L. Newton, Secretary H. Raymond Darling Allen R. Vera Fernand E. Lemay John L. Silver, Jr. Stephen P. Bik REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board started the year 1974 with the adoption.of new Rules and Regulations, which the Board feels will have a major long-term effect on the Town's development. These regulations govern subdivisions from their initial filing, through the actual road constructive and installation of utilities; with the completed subdivision being shown on an "as built" plan before final release. One of the results of these new regulations that will be noticed by the voters at this year's annual meeting is our recommendation for the taking of 32 new roads completed during 39 the last year without necessity of expending money for construction or expensive legal charges. We hope this will help to prolong the life of the roads through proper town maintenance in the coming years. There has been a definite decrease in the number and size of new subdivisions submitted for approval in the last year, especially during the last six months. This is a direct result of the economic slump which is affecting all of us at this time. We have also been receiving a number of requests from developers to postpone construction of previously approved subdivisions. The Board usually acquiesces on these, feeling that we do not want to push development at any faster pace than necessary. The Citizens Participatory Planning Study instituted in late 1973 is proceeding, although at a much slower pace than we had originally anticipated. The Land Use Survey which was compiled from the work of a number of citizens (special thanks to Walter Wilson and Arnold Dill, who gave of their time over and above that expected) is in its final stages, and will be of significant help to the Planning Board in evaluating present uses with future plans. We were very pleased with the voters' acceptance of the zoning articles at the 1974 annual town meeting, which stipulated percentage of lot coverage, reduced lot frontage requirements, site plan review, building setback provisions, emergency fire access lanes, and a zoning height restriction. You can imagine our chagrin when we were advised in the early fall that the Attorney General had disapproved them because of a technicality in publication of the public hearing prior to town meeting. Fortunately we were able to republish, hold another hearing and present them again to the voters at the special fall town meeting; and all articles became effective in late December, 1974. At that time we were already in the midst of preparing articles for this year's annual town meeting; the major ones dealing with a new sign code, upgraded parking and loading restrictions, slope easements and a definition section. We look forward to the voters' support of these articles in April. Respectfully submitted, YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD Sally G. Silver, Chairman C. Florence Daigle Alexander C. Todd, Jr. Edward A. Johnson Allan H. Crosby 40 REPORT OF YARMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT To: Honorable Board of Selectmen and Town of Yarmouth Citizens Signs of "civilization" are becoming more and more prominent on the Cape. This year's arrests show criminal activities that, until now, had not appeared on the scene. Armed robberies, armed burglaries, assaults with dangerous weapons, are but a few of "new" criminal involvements. This year we are presented with an upswing in malicious destruction of property complaints, breaking and entering in both daytime and night, larcenies, receiving stolen property.... Many of the types of arrests listed above fall within the classificated of "crimes of violence". All of them involve an utter disregard for the rights of the law-abiding citizen. Blame some of this on the economic picture; some on the idiosyncrasies of youth; some on the population growth in the Town; some on alcohol and drugs; but blame most of it on a "don't give a damn" attitude of those subjects who are committing these acts. Respect for life and property is not a part of their makeup. They see something they want and they take it, or, attempt to... Add to these problems the leniency of the Courts and the picture that emerges is not a pretty one. Concern for the rights of the citizenry of the Commonwealth is (allegedly) of prime import to the courts of the land. The sad situation is that the vast majority of "concern for rights" lies in the direction of the criminal. Concern that he is not mishandled. Concern that he has been advised of his rights. Concern that he not be "misjudged". It is time that the rights of the law abiding citizen become of some concern to these same courts. The concern for the right for one to be secure in his own home. Concern that he can safely walk from one place to another without fear. Concern that his home will be safe from illegal intruders in his absence. That his property be not thoughtlessly damaged or stolen. Public opinion is the one and only method by which this sinister trend can be reversed. The citizenry must make their opinions known by any and all means at their command. Letters to Representatives, newspaper editors, Senators, Judges and Courts, Selectmen and Town Managers and whomever else is in a position to help in correcting the injustices being inflicted upon society. Attendance at Town Meetings where you can both make known your thoughts by speaking and your inclinations by voting is of great importance to the taxpayer. You are in the position of being capable of helping you if you feel you need it (or if you feel you don't). One tends to wonder what age group is responsible for the escalation of crime. In Yarmouth, and doubtlessly throughout the country, it is our young people. Persons between the ages of fifteen and the early twenties. 41 Both male and female. The problem? Adolescent minds in adult bodies. They have reached their physical maturity but have a long way to go to attain the common sense that often accompanies aging. By asserting themselves in illegal activities it is apparent that they become "important" in their minds. Their attitudes when apprehended reflect this attitude. They tend to remind one of the "puff adder", a snake that, in an effort to cow potential enemies, puffs up its head, assumes (what it feels) is the appearance of a cobra yet is capable of of little else other than a menacing presence. Obviously we deal with only a minority in this age bracket, but isn't it ever the minority that earns the reputation for the majority?.. The great majority of young adults in this community are endowed with a considerable degree of common sense, a respect for others and themselves, and an earnest desire to imporve their lot and that of those with whom they come in contact. Do not make the mistake of painting all with the garbagedipped brush of the few. This year we are asking you to approve more patrolmen for the Department. These officers will be utilized in beefing up our patrols in areas of high crime activities, the theory being that it is better to lock the barn before the horse is stolen than to try to catch him after he's gotten loose. There are those that will tell you that additional patrols will not reduce the crime rate. Common sense will tell you otherwise. Picture yourself as a potential criminal. Would you be more (or less) inclined to break in if you observed patrols constantly in the area in which you contemplated a break-in? Would you be more (or less) inclined to destroy a lamp post or fence if a cruiser was frequently seen around? Would you be more (or less) inclined to hold up a store if cruisers were constantly visible? The answer is obvious. Our primary function is to protect the lives, safety, and property of the public...YOU. To effectively accomplish this we need your help at the Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, Theodore P.

These trees were all staked and guided for protection until a good root growth is established. Many of these trees were replacements for trees that have been lost due to injury and disease. Among varieties planted were Sugar and Norway Maples, Linden, Mountain Ash and Flowering Cherries and Flowering Crab Trees. Throughout the year many dead and dangerous trees along the roadways were cut down and removed. This department also pruned many trees for sidewalk and roadway clearance, and cut back brush at blind corners and intersections where the view was obstructed. It was also necessary to treat several tree wounds with a fresh dressing of tree paint after they had been hit by automobiles. Dutch Elm Department During the past year forty-five samples of suspect Elm trees were taken, and sent to the laboratories at the University of Massachusetts for examination. The results returned to the town showed that twenty-three of these trees were infected with Dutch Elm Disease. Removal of all infected trees was conducted during the year. Most of the trees removed have been replaced with different varieties of new young trees. The foliage spraying of the Elm trees was carried on at intervals from May through September, in an attempt to control the Elm Leaf Beetle. A scouting program was also carried on during the year in an effort to 47 try to keep up with tagging the Elm trees for removal as soon as they were found to have Dutch Elm Disease. Insect Pest Control The results of the Winter scouting program for Gypsy Moth egg clusters showed 1,200 acres throughout the town to be infected. These areas were mapped out and sprayed by helicopter with Sevin -4 oil in June. The results of this program were excellent with no defoliation of the Oak trees in the areas sprayed. A few areas of Tent Caterpillars were found, and sprayed at the proper time. The Pine Tip Moth was once again a big problem to us in certain areas of the town. An extensive roadside spraying program was mapped out and the spraying was carried out at the proper time in an effort to control this pest. Homeowners are once again asked to cooperate in an individual effort to help combat the Pine Tip Moth. Roadsides, Park areas and beach areas were once again sprayed for poison ivy and ticks. In late August and early September two thousand acres were sprayed by helicopter with Sevin -4 Oil in areas in the town that had a bad infestation of Pine Looper. This program proved to be most successful. In closing I would like to thank the many townspeople who have brought to my attention situations pertaining to this department. My thanks to the Highway Department and Police Department for their help on several occasions, and especially to the citizens of the town for their cooperation during our aerial and roadside spray programs. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes, Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH PARK DEPARTMENT During the year Mr. Walter Porter who had been a Park Commissioner and Chairman of the Commissioners resigned because of health reasons. Mr. Warren Prescott was appointed to replace Mr. Porter. Mr. Arthur Dahill, a commissioner for several years, passed away very suddenly the day before Thanksgiving. Mr. George Kanuck was appointed to replace Mr. Dahill. We feel the loss of the advice and the friendship very deeply. We had completed the repairs and restoration of the Windmill in May 48 when someone spilled gasoline all around the bottom of the building and caused about $13,000 in damages. While waiting for settlement of the insurance loss, someone set the building on fire again. Because of the alertness of several people and the quick response of the fire department any further damage was small. The Windmill has now been repaired and is in first class shape. Vandalism has been the word most often used in the Town and elsewhere, and we estimated that just what the Park Department takes care of and is responsible for has cost the Town about $6,000. The Long Pond Pagoda area has been completely brushed out and opened up during the year in the hope that destruction would stop. Thanks to the Water Department, we now have an ample supply of water at Sea Gull Beach. The beach receipts for 1974 amounted to about $58,000, and all of this money is turned in to the general treasury of the Town; not one cent goes to the Park Commissioners to run the Park Department. Cooperation between the many departments of the Town has been wonderful, and we are looking forward to the same cooperation in the future. There have been a number of areas that we would like to have done work in, but because of the small operating budget and inflation, we are doing the best we can. William S. Howard, Chairman REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE The statistical data contained in this report is presented in tabulated form which differs from that of previous years. One basic difference is that there are no projections of estimated tax rates. Several factors were instrumental in prompting this change, which included among others the complexities of the present economic conditions and the local issue involving the public school system. The three tables presented are as follows: Table 1 - Summary of Capital Requests. - This tabulation shows a break down by Departments of the sums of money as requested by the departmental heads, except in certain few instances where modifications have been recommended by this committee. We have indicated suggested borrowing where it appears advantageous for such financing. Table 2 - Estimated Expenditures for Capital Budget Items - Here again 49 the tabulation is broken down by Departments and for each department we have shown the amounts of money recommended for direct financing plus the money required for payment of principal and interest where borrowing has been suggested. Table 3 - Debt and Interest - shows payments due for principal and for interest on existing loans for the Water Department and the Yarmouth Schools. In brief form, listed by respective departments, some of the major items requested are: Fire Department - The construction of a new central station and possible relocation of Station No. 3. The sums of $150,000 and $250,000 have been estimated for this work. It is recommended that construction funds be deferred until fiscal 1976-77 and 1977-78. Police Department - The addition to and the remodeling of the present station. This work is estimated at $350,000 and if approved, work would commence in the fiscal year 1975-76. Water Department - The cost of increasing the number of well fields and requisite pumping stations during the next five year period is estimated at $1,235,000. The schedule submitted by the Department shows the work in stages with starting dates in fiscal 1975-76, 1977-78 and 1979-80. The second largest program is that of extending and replacing existing mains required in order to maintain adequate water services in certain sections of the Town. This work is estimated at a cost of $407,000, and is p:oposed for fiscal 1975-76 and 1976-77. Other items include normal maintenance of tanks and standpipes; fencing of sub -stations; a new building proposed for 1978-79 and a limited program of land acquisitions, No meaningful figures pertaining to the Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School are available at the time of this report.

Our gross income amounted to $202,501.04 as compared with $197,943.98 last year and $181,354.00 for 1972. Memberships also edged ahead to a total of 875. Despite heavy play and a reduction in our requested budget, we were able to continue to make some improvements to our course. The first green was remodeled and enlarged, and we are hopeful that we will be permitted in the near future to fill a portion of our eleventh fairway in order to improve a speed-up of play in this critical area. It is a pleasure to report that two of our long-time building contractor members donated and erected a starter's booth near the first tee. With many "rain of shine" players, this facility is much appreciated. A warm "Thank you" to Charlie Royal and Bobby Kendrick. Your committee along with the many active members and the operating staff have much pride in the golf course. It is therefore appropriate to also thank Mr. Roland Barker for compiling a history of the Bass River Golf Course. Copies of the interesting booklet are available at the Clubhouse. Again --it has been a pleasure to serve you during 1974. Commissioners: Nye Crowell, Chairman Lloyd L. Simmons, Secretary H. Freeman Cash James R. MacNeil Raymond F. Mello REPORT OF THE DENNIS YARMOUTH INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICE The Dennis Yarmouth Information and Referral Center, conducted by the Council On Aging, moved to their new quarters at 58 Long Pond Drive, South Yarmouth on February 1, 1974. This building was built by the Dermis Yarmouth Senior Citizens, Inc. from whom we rent the building. With larger quarters our classes have been increased in size and added to. Our rug hooking, crewel, needlepoint, oil painting quilting, lampshade, bridge and decoupage classes are all well attended. When the regular town sponsored classes were completed for the year The Barnstable Extension Service offered classes in Rush Seating, Furniture Refinishing, Sewing for 55 both beginning and advanced sewers. These classes took us well into the summer season. Thursday afternoons were given over the Bazaar Group which worked hard for the bazaar that was put on in December and was very successful. Along with our regular classes the men have an afternoon for their games, which include bridge, poker and cribbage. Each Wednesday afternoon there is a tournament for the male cribbage players. Friday afternoons the women have their special cribbage game. This year, Duplicate Bridge was very favorably received and each Monday finds the Center busy as can be with these participants. Various club activities have been organized by our members. The "Singles" group have close to 100 members who meet monthly, for a luncheon meeting throughout the Cape area. The Mixed Chorus, now in its fourth year, is expanding and has made some thirty appearances, both on and off Cape. A five piece Orchestra meets for practice each Thursday afternoon at the Center. We expect to hear more from this group. Geriatric counseling has been added to our program. Each Wednesday Blood Pressures are taken. On Mondays legal advice is given free to registrants. Prior to the "Flu" season immunization injections were given to some 950 persons. Our thanks to the School Committee for their invitation to our members to attend the dress rehearsal of the Drama Club, free of charge. Fun luncheons to interesting New England resorts were well attended and enjoyed. The mixed bowling team is in its second year and they meet with the singles group for hotly contested sessions. A telephone reassurance line is maintained on a one to one basis. Registrants to date number some 6,700 - of which Yarmouth has 4,500. Each month an average of 3,800 pieces are mailed to registrants.

This has been a year of transition and change for the Yarmouth School System. All possible data pertaining to future educational plans, space needs, and administrative reorganization has been compiled and thoroughly analyzed to assist the voters in formulating their decision relative to the future direction of our schools. At the time of the writing of this report, your Acting Superintendent of Schools and his administrative staff is totally involved in analyzing the accumulated data in order to make meaningful recommendations to the voters to assist them in reaching a decision. The issue of regionalization vs. de -regionalization is undoubtedly one of the most complex issues which has faced the voters in many years. While the public debates continue, the educational process still goes on. It gives me great satisfaction when I visit the schools and classrooms and witness the teachers carrying on the good work with our students. So that you may have a dear perception of what is happening in each school, I enclose a copy of each school principal's report. I wish to publicly express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to my entire central office staff for their wholehearted support and cooperation during this past year. Each and everyone has given of himself or herself above and beyond the normal call of duty and has put forth that extra effort which makes the difference between success and failure in times of stress. Donald F. Eldredge, Acting Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL JOHN SIMPKINS AND SOUTH YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Dear Mr. Eldredge, It is a pleasure to submit my reports for the South Yarmouth and John Simpkins Schools. The South Yarmouth Elementary School is presently housing: 99 Kindergarten students 120 First Grade students 123 Second Grade students 342 62 We are using all the available space in the building. The John Simpkins Building is presently housing: 119 Third Grade students 138 Fourth Grade students 285 Fifth Grade students 542 I feel compelled to point out, as I have in the past, that the lack of space is interfering with a balanced educational program. In moving the Third grade to the John Simpkins building, we were able to place all classes close together so that they could work effectively together. The Kindergarten is now where it belongs - next to the first grade. All the regular classroom teachers are now working in teams. Building Program In 1969, the Middle School opened and allowed the two schools in South Yarmouth to operate at a normal enrollment. In 1970 the South Yarmouth Kindergarten students were returned to the South Yarmouth school from West Yarmouth. For the last five years, there has been an increasing need for more space. In 1972, a study was made of the educational plan for the town. After many meetings and much discussion, plans were made to :renovate the John Simpkins building and add 12 classrooms plus a gymnasium, cafeteria, library -media center and establish new traffic patterns. The plans went out to bid in October and came back higher than anticipated. The Committee agreed to have the plans changed and re -bid to see if they could obtain a lower price. Team Teaching Never in my experience as a teacher or principal have I been so impressed with a method of organization as team teaching. We have organized all grades into teams of four teachers and approximately 100 children. These people work and plan together all year. Many decisions are made within the team. Many new ideas come about from the interaction between four people. Family. Grouping Family grouping is an approach to education that allows for flexibility in solving some of the basic problems of teaching and learning. It is sometimes called vertical grouping because the children move up through a series of learning experiences. In placing Kindergarten, First and Second Graders together, we can teach the basic skills of reading and math when the child is ready, not when he is in a given grade, or at a certain age that the book says he is ready, but when the teachers see that he can do it. 63 Volunteers The tutoring program with the High School students is of double benefit because it helps both students that are involved. We are looking forward to training some of these students, with the help of the Parents' Council and Mrs. Manchuk in particular. We are indeed fortunate to have a small group of active parents working with and in the South Yarmouth schools. We have a growing number of parent volunteers working in our schools. We are most happy to have their help and welcome as many more as possible. Special Needs The children who need special help in their education have been receiving this in many different ways. This year we are trying to systematize our approach to this problem. In the past, we have left this in the hands of a special teacher. Now we are trying to gather all the information so that everybody on the team knows what is happening. First we make an assessment of the childs needs. We then come up with a written program for the child. After six weeks, we re-evaluate the program to see if we are achieving the desired results. Curriculum Education never has been a simple matter. It has become very complex in the few years that I have been involved. At one time, we taught reading, writing and arithmetic. Then we added social studies, science, language, art and music. Physical education, home economics, and industrial arts were then put into the program. After we had the areas, we developed course guides on plans for what was to happen in a given year. When it was put together, we called it the curriculum. Each year we would study all the new books and programs on the market and buy the ones we liked, hoping that they would do what we said we wanted to accomplish in our plans. The new books and programs were good, but they never really worked for everyone. The material we bought did not work all the time, because it was prepared for the average child in a particular grade. All children are different - they may be in the third grade but working on a first grade or eighth grade level. That is why we are trying to individualize some of each child's work. Teachers have always made a lot of their own material, but it has increased to where whole area of instruction are created by the teacher. It is easier to adult teacher -made material than that which is purchased from a company. While the teacher -made material is superior for the children, the administration must now be alert to problems of co-ordination and continuity of the new material throughout the school. James J.

Small Elementary School Dear Mr. Eldredge: On July 1st, 1974, my family and I crossed the Cape Cod Canal fortified with the excitement of a new home and challenging position and armed with a well-worn copy of Henry Kittridge's classic; Cape Cod Its People and Their History. There was no escaping the self-contained character of the lush peninsula that was to be our home, nor the close individualism for which it was known. We were new citizens in a land threatened by progress, but in planting our roots we did so with the conviction that our feeling for the Cape was as strong as anyones, as was our desire to preserve it. I was the new Principal of the West Yarmouth Elementary School, a school whose reputation for quality education had been recognized since its construction in 1963. The school not only had a new Principal, but also a new name: the Marguerite E. Small School. Seldom has one individual had as overwhelming an influence on the philosophy of a school as did Miss Small. Writing in the 1971 edition of the Yarmouth Annual Report, Miss Small elequently summarized her philosophy of education: "We hope that in the process of helping children to learn, we may help them to find and keep the `wonder and excitement' of discovering the world we live in". With this philosophy as a guide, it is our job to carefully assess the character and makeup of the world our children will live in and then design a curriculum that will ensure success for their future. There is a lot to be said for preserving the uniqueness of Cape Cod living, and therefore, many of our programs are being designed to help children discover their distinctive environment and rich heritage. Under the direction of Miss Malo, the Science Program is showing a continued emphasis on the interdependence of life in the ecology of Cape Cod. Working closely with faculty representatives, Miss Malo is compiling a list of resource persons available in the community and is also developing a program in environmental education at the Small School. Cooperative programs, with Mr. Silverman of Camp Wingate, will be increased and more emphasis is being placed on short field trips to local conservation areas. A new salt water aquarium has recently been establihsed and is completely stocked with marine life from local tidal pools. Another faculty committee is doing extensive work in the area of the Social Studies. Few people living on the Cape at present can claim the distinction of being "Cape Codders" in the traditional sense. Most have arrived in the last three decades. We are therefore, challenged with 68 developing a curriculum that will help children.understand the uniqueness of this historic peninsula, and also prepare them to handle the unpredictable forces that result from an economy dependent on tourism and bombarded with the values of urban societies to the north and west. Our hope is to develop a program that will accurately compare and contrast our community with those of a more urban society, preserving the best from both. With the competition resulting from expansion and progress comes a greater and greater need for educational excellence. Children living on the Cape are applying to major universities at an increasing rate and therefore, must be provided with the basic skills necessary to compete. At the Small School, we are currently allocating just under 60% of our operating budget for instruction in Reading and Mathematics. Under the direction of our town -wide supervisors, Miss Kalli Garoufes in Reading and Lou Drake in Math, we are continuing to emphasize teaching the basic tool skills necessary to read, write and compute. Our test scores in these areas are showing a consistent rise with reading scores currently well above the National Norms. Throughout this year, we will continue to seek out better ways to individualize instruction and provide continuous progress for all children. Physical fitness takes on added importance at the elementary school level with many studies showing a direct correlation between physical and academic development. As directors of the Small Physical Education Program, Miss Hall and Mr. Campbell are helping children discover for themselves what arms, legs, hands and feet can really do. By helping children see how parts of their bodies move in relation to the entire body, creativity, self-discovery and self-direction are enhanced as is general confidence. The music program is headed this year by Mrs. Elizabeth Yargeau, formerly with the North Andover Public Schools. As a core program, Mrs. Yargeau uses the Threshold to Music Experience Charts which emphasize rhythmic development and introduce hand signals related to the musical scale. In addition, the children develop their creativity by playing accompaniments to songs and creating melodies on the Orff xylophones and simple wind like instruments. This year, as in previous years, Mrs. Besse is concentrating her efforts in the Art Program on development creative growth and personal expression in each individual child. Using a variety of materials not ordinarily familiar to the children, she designs her activities to stimulate the child in the awareness of texture, line, form, and color. Our program for children with special needs was expanded considerably this year with the addition of two new staff members. Mrs. Margaret Horan joins Mrs. Marianne Todd and Mrs. Frances Meyer as "special 69 needs" teachers, and Peter Regan was appointed School Psychologist. The Marguerite E. Small School is thus in a better position to evaluate and serve the needs of children with wide range of problems. We can now hope to better develop the competency of our children to fulfill their potentialities by answering their needs in the areas of social and emotional adjustment as well as visual and auditory perception. In addition, individual prescriptive programs can be implemented for remediation of readiness and subject area skills. During the last five months I have spent considerable time assessing the programs and general organization of the school and its community. Clearly, one of the schools greatest assets is the presence of a strong, active parent organization. The Friends of the School have developed an extremely efficient system for recruiting, training and placing volunteers in the school. At. this point over forty parents have volunteered and are being scheduled for work in the school building. A special thanks to Mrs. Houle and other board members for the fine work that has been done. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to Donald Eldredge, George Flanagan, the School Committee, teaching staff, and all other school personnel for their cooperation during my first half year.

Eldredge Acting Superintendent of Schools South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Eldredge: It is with a greal deal of pleasure that I submit to you my first Annual Report as Acting Principal of the Mattacheese Middle School. In a world constantly undergoing change I feel that Mattacheese is successfully adapting its curriculum to prepare its students for their future. Working toward this end curricular and faculty changes have been made. The following teachers have joined our staff since the previous school year: Teacher Grade Subject Mr. Robert Baker 7 • Science Mrs. Faith Bearor 6-7-8 Home Economics: Foods Mr. Bruce Hill 6-7-8 Vocal Music Mrs. Barbara Kimball 8 Reading Mrs. Ann Murphy 6-7-8 Home Economics: Clothing Miss Virginia Nelson 6-7-8 library -Media Miss Karen O'Connor 8 Reading Mr. J. Peter Regan 6-7-8 Psychologist On October 1, 1974, the Mattacheese Middle School had the following number of pupils enrolled: Grade 6 140 153 293 Grade 7 124 122 246 Grade 8 156 133 289 Totals 420 408 828 This is an increase of 14 pupils over October 1, 1973 figures. The academic program at Mattacheese has been refined to the point where we now operate totally under a team teaching situation where individual faculty members are divided into six academic (2 sixth, 2 seventh, 2 eighth) and oen Related Arts team. Each academic team consists of five educators (one each in reading, English, mathematics, social studies and science) together with, on the seventh and eighth grade levels, the shared services of a French or Spanish instructor. These teams meet each day with the same segment of the student population. Thus, one half of each grade is assigned to the same academic team and is 73 instructed by the same teachers. The related arts team is made up of teachers in the following areas: Art, Crafts, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Industrial Design, Industrial Arts, Home Economics: Foods, Home Economics: Clothing, Guidance (2) and Physical Education (4). These fourteen educators meet each grade for 90 minutes daily with one cycle of related arts experiences being completed every six days. The giant leap forward into total team teaching was not one taken without a great deal of forethought and planning. Guest lecturers, in-service workshops, visits to successful team -teaching schools by faculty members, and the like began two years ago and accelerated last year to the extent that the faculty as a whole was aware of the team teaching concept and capable of adapting individual teaching styles to fit into it. Last year it was cautiously begun on a sixth grade level only. Its success prompted development of 7th and 8th grade teaming this year. As with any new and innovative program, its development at Mattacheese was not, and is not, without its problems (making scheduling adequately flexible, organizing interdisciplinary instructional units, etc.) but both teaching faculty and administration are drawing upon their growing experience in team -teaching to provide solutions. Team teaching focuses itself upon the pupils, the philosophy being that the greater knowledge a teacher, or team of teachers, has about an individual student's needs the better the educational plan can be to meet those needs. Variable pupil grouping becomes easy with this framework. The pupil -teacher ratio can extend from one-to-one to 140 -to -one dependent upon the needs of the pupil and the content area under study. Grouping is a changing, dynamic activity where groups are planned to create for each student the best learning atmosphere. Varied groupings are possible from subject -to -subject according to readiness, maturity, skills, interest, achievement, and need. The following is an academic and related arts overview of what is happening here at Mattacheese. By its very nature it can only superficially touch upon the dynamic programs currently going on. In depth knowledge may be gained through conferences, personal visits, and the like. Citizens are invited to visit the school by calling for an appointment. Also, a newly formed parents group is looking for interested, willing -to -work members. Further information regarding this may be obtained by calling the school. Communicative Arts The communicative arts program integrates reading, English, and spelling skills into a developmental program tailored to the individual pupil's needs and achievement level. Communicative arts teachers meet 74 daily to assess effectiveness of the program with specific students and to discuss varied methods of approaches and of material presented so as to reach all pupils. Teamed instruction provides for varying degrees of openness within the classroom from a one teacher - 60 pupil lecture -type • instructional period to a one teacher -one pupil learning situation. Purchasing greater varieties of materials but in lesser quantities allows for greater individualization of the program to reach the varying levels and needed skills of each child. Mathematics An orderly, sequential program of mathematics has been developed for grade six, seven and eight students, which allows each student to proceed at an individual rate of learning. Each pupil is picked up where he or she left off in grade five. Through lectures, demonstrations, manipulatory mathematical tools, worksheets increasing in order of difficulty, quizzes. tests, examinations, and reteaching in areas where mastery is minimal the student progresses through the grades developing proficiency in basic mathematics with enrichment in applied areas. This "back to the basics" approach is bearing fruit with students learning their facts, memorizing their times tables, and developing proficiency in the four fundamental processes (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) when dealing with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions; plus percent. Students who, through testing and teacher evaluation, are felt to be capable of handling more difficult material terminate general mathematics in grade seven and are enrolled in an Introduction to Algebra course in grade eight. Social Studies The general objective of the social studies program is to develop within each pupil a respect and understanding for peoples' heritage and way of life. To accomplish this end pupils are shown how geographical factors have influenced history, how knowledge of the past helps us participate intelligently in the solutions of present day problems, how to respect honest differences of opinion, and how an inquiring mind may be deemed a proper attribute of each citizen in a democracy. All grades teach both content (subject matter) and skills (map reading, charts and graphs, latitude and longitude, etc.). The sixth grade concentrates upon that period of history which traces early exploration of our continent and continues in the settlement and development of our nation through colonial times up to and including the American Revolution. An interdisciplinary approach is used within the sixth grade curriculum where reading, English, and mathematics activities are set up which encompass this period of our history. 75 Seventh graders delve into world history and geography emphasizing Asia, Africa, and Europe with particular emphasis placed upon the cultural aspects of these continents and the many nations they contain. The eighth grade program begins with a review of early American history and specializes in that portion of our background from Revolution through the Civil War. Textbooks are liberally supplemented with workbooks, films, slides, filmstrips, cassette tapes, newspapers and periodicals and the like to enable students to absorb knowledge from a variety of sources. Science Grade six pupils participate in a laboratory oriented science program entitled Science Improvement Curriculum Study (SCIS). In general, students stay together doing the same type of lecture - experiment activity. Activities vary each day and are essentially self -learning experiences. Pupils are given the instructional tools with which to perform the experiments and then utilize these tools to carry each experiment through from its given hypothesis to its conclusion. Electric and magnetic interaction and ecosystems make up the grade six science curriculum. The Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS) is the basis of the science curriculum for grades seven and eight. This program uses a problem centered and activities oriented approach to individualized science instruction. Students work at their own rate, spending more time in areas requiring remedial help and branching out into additional investigations of an enrichment nature under the guidance of and at the discretion of the teacher. French and Spanish Introductory courses are offered (in French and Spanish) to 7th and 8th grade pupils who through testing and teacher evaluation exhibit a high degree of proficiency in reading and language skills. The majority of pupils who successfully complete two years of either of these foreign languages are able to enter French II or Spanish II at the high school in September. Plans for next year include scheduling classes so that eighth graders may begin French or Spanish. Presently, only seventh graders participate in the first year of these courses on a regular basis. Art The current art program is divided into two half year segments where Mr. John Lynch meets for 18 weeks with one half of the student body to offer instruction in the development of skills in silk-screening, block printing, water colors, use of 3 primary colors to make secondary colors, pencil sketching for depth awareness and Mr. Randall Wallin instructs for 1,8 weeks in crafts areas of ceramics, macrame, pottery and metal 76 enameling, collage assemblage depicting individual likes, plaster and sand casting. At the end of 18 weeks the entire student body changes art teachers so that all pupils are exposed to all areas of Arts and Crafts taught at Mattacheese. Music Vocal music stresses the developmental process of music throughout history beginning with basic rhythm in primitive times and extending through the complex variations of the current day. Films, film strips, records, pamphlets and worksheets bring to each student an awareness of musical history. Instrumental music is both educational and recreational. Individual and group instruction is given during the school day in the basic areas of the orchestra: brass, woodwinds, strings, percussion. Since the amount of acquired skills and instrumental proficiency differs tremendously at the middle school level (some pupils have had lessons since fourth grade, others are just beginning) a "people helping people" approach is utilized with musically -proficient pupils—in most cases, students from D -Y High School—assisting Miss Bauer in basic instrumentation. A band, a clarinet group, and a stringed ensemble (under the tutelage of Mr. Frank Cornwell) have been organized to put together the fruits of each student's individual labor into a recreational as well as instructional experience. Industrial Arts The two segments of this area are industrial design and industrial science. Each 6th, 7th and 8th grade boy spends 18 weeks in each course, meeting for one 90 minute time block every 6 days. Industrial Science (woodworking) teaches layout; cutting processes; assembling techniques; finishing, the proper use and care of hand tools; and, as the student progresses through grades 6,7 and 8, more sophisticated power machinery. Safety and working together are primary goals in the program. Industrial Design teaches students the construction of various shapes and projects on paper through the use of mechanical drawing equipment. Instruction and class discussion relate proper drawing techniques, reproduction processes, and principles of basic design. Both courses are of an exploratory nature and give each student a basic knowledge of the materials, tools, processes, and techniques of industry, and an appreciation of the industrial society in which he lives. Home Economics This instructional area is divided into two parts: foods and clothing. Girls experience 18 weeks in each course. However, many aspects of home 77 economics overlap and are incorporated into both curriculums. Family relationships; self-concepts and image; setting future goals; home management; managing resources; effectively utilizing time, money and energy; and making consumer decisions are integral parts of both courses. For the first time sixth graders have been incorporated into the home economic classes and meet for one 45 minute block every six days. Seventh and eighth grade girls meet for 90 minutes per 6 -day cycle. "Clothing" instructs girls in selecting appropriate clothes for activities, buying and maintaining these clothes, planning projects that match levels of ability, and creating clothes to wear and buy from selecting a pattern, choosing fabric to suit that pattern, preparing for sewing, through the actual assembling of a garment. "Foods" covers areas from the selection of food for nutrition and vitality through buying for economy; managing meals; and preparation of protein foods, milk -rich foods, fruits and vegetables, cereal products and energy foods. In addition, a Future Homemakers of America (FHA) club has recently been formed which meets after school to further develop home economics skills. One of the first activities of this club has been to develop from initial food selection, cost analysis, and preparation, through actual setting up, serving, and clean-up a 70 person luncheon on January 18th for participants and parents of the State Junior Miss Finals held on that day at the school. Guidance In addition to individual pupil counseling, guidance has been expanded into the classroom by having group guidance activities for each student for 45 minutes during each 6 day schedule. Group guidance activities center upon career counseling in grade eight where students are exposed to current opportunities in consumer and home making, construction, fine arts and humanities, environmental, marketing and distribution, manufacturing, communications and media; transportation, personal service, public service, business and office, marine science, natural resources, recreation and health careers. Grade seven pupils work in vocabulary enrichment areas to be better able to verbalize feelings. This course is centered upon the emerging adolescent's development of awareness of himself and others around him. Through discussions, personality self -inventories, films, and filmstrips, common areas of student interest and concern are covered. The sixth grade course covers orientation to Mattacheese; how to study; introduction to understanding of self; and a unit, developed with the library media department and Mr. Herbert H. McSorley of the Marine and Recreational Vehicles Department of the State Registry of Motor Vehicles, 78 on water and boating safety. Individual counseling covers educational, personal, social . and occupational areas with particular educational and occupational emphasis upon the opportunities afforded at the new Cape Cod Tech. Through the guidance and special needs departments group tests are administered to all pupils to determine academic proficiency and individual testing is done to determine (1) if remediation is necessary in an academic area and (2) the degree of remediation necessary in each individual skill within this academic area. Physical Education Each Mattacheese Middle School pupil is assinged to two 90 -minute physical education classes each six-day cycle. In these instructional program primary emphasis is on the acquisition of basic fundamentals of various team sports and individual activities. This program not only focuses on the development of basic motor skills and coordination but also stresses proper attitude of self-discipline, good sportsmanship and social. Boys and girls are taught the basic skills of soccer, flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, gymnastics, track and field, folk dance, tennis and archery. All students are involved in individual physical fitness testing in the fall and in the spring. After school activities offer intramural competition in soccer, field hockey (girls), flag football (grade 6 boys), football (grade 7 and 8 boys), basketball, softball and track and field; gymnastics for both boys and girls; and an interscholastic program . of soccer, football, basketball, softball, baseball and track and field with other local junior high and middle schools. It is not at all uncommon to visit the physical education area of the school anytime from 2:15 until 4:00 p.m. and see 100 - 200 pupils engaged in one of these aforementioned activities. A culmination of the physical education year takes place with our annual Mattacheese Olympic Day each June where every pupil participates in track and field events with others in his grade and competes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place individual and team ribbons.

Needs Counselor 1974 DENNIS-YARMOUTH COMMUNITY SCHOOLS Dear Mr. Eldredge: Itis with pleasure that I submit this annual report to you as Director of Dennis -Yarmouth Community Schools. The concept of Community Education as we view it in our two towns entails not only a greater use of school facilities but also a greater involvement of citizens in the schools themselves. The major portion of our tax dollar is earmarked for the education of our children and school plant operation and maintenance; however, the school facilities remain unused for a large percentage of the clock hours during the calendar year. It is for this reason that communities throughout the nation are capitalizing on the concept of greater utilization of existing school facilities by initiating and supporting the community school concept. Greater utilization of what already exists in turn means greater savings and less waste. The office of your Community Schools has been involved in many different programs during the past year; the largest and most comprehensive being the Adult Education Program. The afternoon and evening Adult Program registered over 2,300 citizens from Dennis and Yarmouth. The program opened this past Fall with 108 courses being offered in three different schools: Wixon Middle School, Mattacheese Middle School and D -Y Regional High School. The initial registration period was held during the week of September 17, 1974; however, continuous registration is in effect as long as there is available room in any of the courses. The annual Adult Education Exhibit which was held in the Spring at Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School was the culmination of many hours of painstaking effort on the part of the adult students. I believe the exhibit was very successful and it was especially gratifying to me to see for the first time the combined talents of the citizens of Dennis and Yarmouth displayed in our program. A Sight and Hearing Clinic was administered in January 1974 by the school nurse using school equipment. As a result of the screening, a number of adults were adivsed to seek further professional help. This clinic exemplified the true nature of the Community School concept; that being the full utilization of the facilities, equipment and talent the schools possess for the benefit of all the citizenry. The children of Dennis and Yarmouth were offered an Afternoon Enrichment Program in theatrical and dramatic skills under the direction of Mr. Irwin Bierhans. The culmination of this effort was a series of short 84 skits presented for the parents at the Wixon Middle School during the Winter session. The children of Yarmouth in grades 4-8 were offered a variety of recreational and enrichment programs similar to those offered to the adults in the evening program. The response to this Saturday Morning Program was very gratifying. The success of this continuing program is due in large measure to the enthusiasm and direction of Mr. George Streeter. The children in Dennis were given a unique opportunity last summer to participate in a Summer Band. This instrumental instruction program was under the direction of Mr. John Todd. A program of Tennis instruction, organized by Mr. Richard Hart, was offered to the Dennis youngsters also. As these two programs were received with much enthusiasm it is hoped that they will be continued during the coming year. Currently, a program of Dance Instruction for children in Yarmouth in grade levels K-3 is being offered on Saturday mornings at the Margaret E. Small School. This program was very well received by the younger set and is under the direction of Mrs. Lillian Roma. Swimming instruction is also being offered to the children in grades 3-8 in Dennis. We are most fortunate to obtain the pool facilities at the Bayside Condominiums. I wish to thank Mr. MacAbee, Mr. Bova and the residents of the Bayside Condominiums for their concern and interest in permitting the children in Dennis the use of their pool. This program is under the able direction of Mr. Thomas Griffin. Our high school students are not being forgotten. Instruction in Folk and Square Dancing is currently being offered on Tuesday evenings under the direction of Mr. Dudley Briggs. The Dennis -Yarmouth Community Schools are offering to both the children in Dennis and Yarmouth, instruction in Baton Twirling on Saturday mornings at D -Y Regional. Instruction is given by Miss Ann Bohlin assisted by our own D -Y majorettes. Last summer I was happy to assist the schools in directing the renovation of the Administration Center on Station Avenue. Those of us who are associated with the administering of the Dennis -Yarmouth Community School Program appreciate the support and interest shown by our citizens in our programs. I wish to thank you, Mr. Eldredge, and Mr. Liberty for your concern and support of the Community School Program. I would also like to express my appreciation to the School Committees of our two towns for their continued interest in their Community School Program and their understanding of the problem inherent in my serving two communities under the direction of three committees. Thank you. James R. Davis 85 Grade John Simpkins School ENROLLMENT - October 1, 1974 .K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Total 117 131 282 530 South Yarmouth 96 120 123 339 Elementary School M. E.

The records for the boats are as follows: Bass River Patrol Boat: Log Entries 196 Dollar Value of Boats Assisted $411,616 Lewis Bay Patrol Boat: Log entries 484 Dollar Value of Boats Assisted $703,877 Total Log Entries 680 Total Dollar Value of Boats Assisted $1,115,493 Maintenance dredging isneeded in Parkers River and Bass River, as shoaling of these channels prevents some boats from enter- ing or leaving except at high tide. A county dredge has been suggested by this department, and I hope a study is implemented into the feasibility of the county pur- 89 chasing a dredge for the use of Yarmouth and other towns in Barn- stable County. Any new boaters should feel free to call on their Harbor- master's Department for assistance on handling of new boats or help in understanding the local waters. Townspeople should set their moorings in as early as possible. Notification to the Harbormaster's Department should be made so that in case of an emergency the boat owner can be notified. Respectfully submitted, John L. Silver, Jr. Harbormaster IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Your committee has worked on a number of projects during 1974 to preserve and enhance the appearance of our town. A few of the projects undertaken include new plantings of shrubbery at the entrance of the Town Offices, and an extensive beautification effort at the entrance to the Town Disposal Area. Many plantings and landscaping were completed at the new relocated gate. The large flag pole at the Village Green in Yarmouth Port has been removed, courtesy of the Park Department, and will be reinstalled shortly with a new concrete base. Additional evergreen trees will be planted this year which will greatly improve the year round appearance of conspicuous areas of town as well as serve as Christmas Trees during the Holidays. A large effort is planned to make the town as attractive as possible for the upcoming Bicentennial Celebration. Your committee thanks the many citizens who have helped to make their neighborhoods attractive to others, and to the many town employees who have helped this committee in their efforts.

Spurr 90 REPORT OF THE HISTORIC YARMOUTH PORT COMMISSION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: During 1974, 16 meetings were held, 59 applications were submitted of which 57 were approved. The two not approved were one for design, arrangement and setting and the second one for lack of plans and no representative at the hearing. It is very important that it is brought to the attention of all builders and contractors of Cape Cod that as of November 27, 1974, that the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District came into being as it was voted in the affirmative to establish this Historic District in the referendum ballot of November 5, 1974. This District encompasses the nine towns, Bourne through Eastham, all land laying north of Route 6 or the Mid -Cape Highway. On November 27, 1974 the Historic Yarmouth Port Commission ceased to exist. The Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Commission came into existence on that date. The selectmen on that date appointed the following to the Town of Yarmouth Committee: John E. Harris, Chairman, Trenor F. Goodell, Secretary, Alexander Catto, Frederick C. Schauwacker, Jr., and George E. Plugge, Architect. It should be kept in mind by all persons residing north of the Mid -Cape Highway that they are now in a Historic District and that all new buildings, additions, fences, etc., have to have a `Certificate of Appropriateness' before the building inspector will issue a permit. Copies of this new act are available at the Town Office or from members of the Historic Committee. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month in Lyceum Hall in Yarmouth Port at 7:30 p.m. Special meetings will be called when necessary so that applicants will not be delayed unnecessarily in starting construc- tion. Respectfully submitted, John E. Harris Chairman 91 REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass.

With money appropriated at last year's Town meet- ing we received delivery of a new van -type ambulance -rescue unit identical to the one purchased in 1973. A rotation system is being used to assure us -that one of these vehicles will be replaced on a scheduled basis for capital outlay planning every sixth year. An article in the Warrant asks for a sum of money to replace a 21 -year old fire engine. Since our last purchase in 1970, prices of fire apparatus have doubled due to material and labor cost in- creases. Delivery of a new engine takes from ten to twelve months after the signing of a contract. It is imperative that we try to keep within the timetable of our capital outlay program as any delay de- creases the spacing between planned replacement of these expensive outlays. It has also been the general trend that costs increase from year to year making delays more expensive. An article to purchase or take by eminent domain a piece of property on Higgins Crowell Road will appear as a result of a survey and study for the future site of relocation of fire station #3, West Yarmouth, presently located on Lewis Road behind the library. 94 An article regarding the prohibition of installing a mechanical protection device that is automatically keyed to and/or activates the telephone lines listed to the fire department has been inserted. Due to emergency lines to fire departments being unavailable to the gen- eral public because of malfunctions and other problems the mech- anical devices cause at times, it has been necessary to take this action to assure our emergency telephones are always available when needed. This action has already been taken in the Towns of Fal- mouth and Bourne and is now in effect._ Because of the present recession I have delayed a budget request this year for additional firemen. However, I feel that by this time next year I will have to include this request for more men in the 1976-1977 budget. In addition to this will be a request for 3 civilian dispatchers. At present we are utilizing funds under the C.E.T.A. program to employ three civilian dispatchers and a junior clerk typist. I wish to acknowledge with thanks the cooperation this de- partment has received from the various departments of the Town. To the officers and men of the department I extend my sincere appreciation for their support and efforts and to the Yarmouth Fire Belles (the fire department ladies auxiliary) we are eternally grate- ful. Respectfully submitted, Dana H. Whittemore Chief of Department BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT 1974 ANNUAL REPORT ``a{ The Barnstable County Health Department has continued to provide services in the areas of environmental health, dental health, medical social work, nursing consultation and supervision, and con- trol of communicable diseases. The staff of eight professional con- sultants, three laboratory and clerical workers, and one summer in- spector is augmented by five staff working with the Handicapped Children's Clinic of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Division of Family Health, and by one worker from the Di- vision of Communicable Diseases -Venereal Diseases. 95 We believe that local services should be strengthened and sup- plemented, hence priority is given to the development of better health delivery patterns, to the orientation of new town, school, and agency workers in the field of human services, and to some evalua- tion of proposed health services. Department staff are working co- operatively with Comprehensive Health Planning, and with many state agencies and local health organizations. We also feel that the provision of in-service education, and undergraduate and graduate educational experiences, contribute to better health services. In order to broaden the understanding of public health practice and of the scope, power and responsibility of a health department, we have had students as follows: a senior student of Public Health from the University of Massachusetts, as a summer sanitary inspector; three senior students in Physical Therapy from Boston University who worked with the Handi- capped Children's Services; a graduate student from Boston Uni- versity in nursing administration; two students from the University of Massachusetts Medical School; and from the Upper Cape Cod Vocational -Technical School, the practical nursing students have all had an observation experience; a second year student in Hotel Management from Cape Cod Community College. In-service pro- grams and conferences are held monthly for the nurses working in Home Health Agencies, and periodically for school nurses and for health agents. The Cape Cod Community College has been willing to offer a one semester course in Public Health Law which attracted a small group of health workers. Our dental hygienist has been working with the college in the development of the clinical exper- iences for the new program for Dental Hygienists and was on an ad- visory committee of the Lower Cape Cod Vocational School. The inspection, consultation and recommendation of day care centers for licensure by the individual towns continues to require much skill. Increasingly stringent and necessary regulations affect established centers as well as newer ones. There are now 49 licensed centers, five of these were new this year. Once a year each of the nine Home Health Agencies is sur- veyed for re -certification, in order to provide nursing, physical ther- apy, and other therapeutic services under Medicare. The nurse directors of this department assist in the preparation for these evaluations, and provide supervision by agreement to seven of these agencies. The schools are now responsible for providing evaluation and education for children from 3-21 years for those with special needs. Because of our contacts with many children, families and house- holds, we are spending a great deal of time working with parent groups, school groups, and physicians, clinical nurseries and day care centers, in coordinating and approving certain plans. 96 Continued pressure from the 15 towns will require us to pro- vide more laboratory services for the analysis of water samples and monitoring of shore and pond areas. We must enlarge the labora- tory work area and obtain more time -saving equipment. The sani- tarians have provided more analysis of paint chips for lead content, and they have participated in more conferences. The medical social worker has served as supervisor and con- sultant to two departments of social service and one Home Health Agency. She has been instrumental in planning for regular meetings of the medical social work staff of eight hospitals in the area, and has established contacts with many agencies providing funds and services for those with developmental disabilities. We appreciate suggestions and requests for different or addi- tional services and plan to adapt to meet needs when possible. 1974 Department personnel included: Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S.

Howes County Health Officer CAPE COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMEN-T COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT The past year has been one of serious difficulties and momentous decisions for our nation. These events have touched us all and their effects have been echoed in the Cape Cod community. The Cape's thriving building industry slowed to a grinding pace. Yet, our tourist industry, threatened by gas shortages, managed to exceed previous revenues. Land use legislation continued on its road toward greater management of our nation's resources. The people of Cape Cod decided to take the first step in protecting one of our most vital resources by voting for an inventory of the Cape's groundwater resource. Charges of unfair state policies spread talk of a "State of Cape Cod" and public utility rates raised organized public protests. While unemployment on the Cape and throughout the state continued to rise, a new Governor pledged accelerated economic development efforts. Referendum Question #7 While times are troubled, the Cape Cod Planning and Eco- nomic Development Commission has seen a year of progress in a number of significant areas. Three years of Commission effort cul- minated this year in the passage of Water Inventory Referendum Question #7. The overwhelming three -to -one vote for the Refer- endum Question indicates a new spirit of regional concern for the protection of the Cape's vital resources. The success of the question also confirmed the Commission's long -held view that the Cape's water supply is of deep concern to the people of Cape Cod. Passage of the Referendum Question authorized the Barnstable County Commissioners to borrow money for the "inventory, measuring and researching of the groundwater resources of Barnstable County". The United States Geological Survey's proposed water invent- ory estimates the County's share of the project at $152,700 of the total $512,000 study. The remaining cost of the work is to be contri- buted by the USGS, the National Park Service and the Massachu- setts Water Resources Commission. To assist the County Commis- sioners in the administration of the USGS proposal, the Commision proposed the establishment of a broadly based Task Force on Water Resources. The County Commissioners supported the concept of such a Task Force and the Commission launched a major public in- formation program to clarify the issues involved in the Referendum Question. Some 31 informational meetings were held between September 15 and Election Day, November 5. Many of the meet- ings, held throughout the Cape, were open public meetings and 98 many were conducted at the request of public officials and local community groups. Cape newspapers and radio stations provided outstanding coverage of the issue as it developed and of the Commi- sion's informational activities. Many newspapers and radio stations offered their editorial support for the Referendum Question as well. The Association for the Preservation of Cape Cod provided volunteer support and the assistance of its staff. The Barnstable County Selectmen's Association offered its valuable vote of support early in the Commission's community effort. The Cape Cod League of Women Voters, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and a number of other community groups added to this unified positive position. The Commission is most g-ateful for the assistance of the news- papers and the many community groups that helped in bringing the facts to the voters. The success of the Referendum Question is just the beginning in this important program. The four-year project will provide a comprehensive view of the Cape's groundwater resources. This comprehensive inventory can provide the basis for the coordinated management of this most critical resource --our only fresh water supply. Wastewater Management Planning While the Water Inventory will give us a great deal of infor- mation about our groundwater resource, it is up to us to decide what actions are needed to protect this resource. As we utilize our groundwater resource by taking water from the ground we also put our wastewater back into the ground. Wastewater is one of the major threats to the purity of our groundwater resource. Thus, the Commission welcomed the opportunity to apply for designation as a Section "208" Wastewater Management Planning Area this year. This designation could provide substantial federal funds for a co- ordinated areawide wastewater management planning program. Such a program coordinated with the information developed in the USGS inventory is the foundation for a uniquely sound water management program. At the present time, the Cape has been designated as a Section "208" planning area and is awaiting notice of funding level from the Environmental Protection Agency. The program grants 100 percent federal funds for the two year planning stage and 75 percent funding for the implementation of the plan. Community Involvement The Commission initiated a program to establish increased communication with the Cape Cod towns and their residents during the past year. A major part of this effort was a program of munici- 99 pal assistance. Members of the Commission staff provided profes- sional guidance to a number of Cape Cod towns at their request. Preparation of subdivision regulations and revisions of zoning by-laws, advice on comprehensive master plans and transportation projects were some of the services that were very well received by the towns that took advantage of this program. Two evening seminars were held to acquaint Cape Cod citi- zens and their elected officians with two important programs, the State Coastal Zone Management Program and the Federal Flood Insurance Program. Both meetings were well attended and offered interested citizens an opportunity to learn how these programs may affect the future of Cape Cod. A ten week seminar series entitled "Community Planning" was also held this fall with fifty students primarily representatives of local planning boards or local engineers and land surveyors. The seminar covered a wide range of local planning matters from the handling of subdivision plans and pro- posed changes in the state zoning enabling act to the impact of Fed- eral and State land use programs on local planning. A public opinion survey was designed to provide the Commis- sion and its staff with a better perspective on citizen concerns and interests. The survey will be conducted in 1975 and it is hoped that the information gained from the responses will serve as a basis for responsive and effective Commission action in years to come. Economic Development The Commission's Economic Development Committee reor- ganized this year and under new leadership, it has been actively ex- ploring possible approaches to the Cape's economic ills. Coopera- tive activities have been underway with the Overall Economic De- velopment Planning Committees in the designated economic development areas of Provincetown-Truro and Bourne. The Pro- vincetown-Truro OEDP Committee has been investigating several potential public works projects eligible for federal assistance funds including a new well field and water distribution system, renewal of storm drains, installation of a sewer system and reconstruction of an area parking lot. The Bourne OEDP Committee was also reor- ganized this year and plans to work cooperatively with the nonCape towns of Rochester and Wareham that make up the Economic Development Area. Economic Development Administration funds have assisted in a study of a potential use of Otis for a Cape -wide Visitors Center and a Center of Arts and Crafts. This study, when completed, will supplement the original Bourne tourism study. Potential expansion of the Cape shellfish industry was the continuing concern of the Commission's Shellfish Advisory Committee. The Committee has developed a proposal for regional utilization of dredging equipment 100 for (1) . acquisition of contaminated shellstock from polluted areas off -Cape for transplanting and depuration in Cape waters, and (2) reclamation of nonproductive shellfish beds in Cape Cod towns. The Committee will be seeking funding sources for this project in the coming year. Transportation Planning The Cape Cod Joint Transportation Committee, responsible for coordinating citizen concerns in the transportation planning process, pursued a number of important issues throughout the year. In 1973, the General Court authorized the creation of ten regional transit authorities in the state and Cape Cod was designated as one of the ten possible authority areas. The CCJTC has conducted a thorough study of the legislation and has recommended to the 15 Boards of Selectmen, the creation of a Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority's Advisory Board in January 1975. A Regional Transit Authority is authorized by the General Court to issue bonds for the implementation of transportation services on the Cape with one-half of the deficit of this service to be paid by the state. It is up to the Advisory Board, comprised of the Chairman of the Boards of Selectmen in each town or their designee, to determine the need for such an authority. The gas shortages in early 1974 renewed interest in the possi- bility of rail passenger service to the Cape. The CCJTC will con- tinue to pursue the feasibility and practicality of reinstituting rail passenger service as an alternative solution to the Cape's transportation needs. The retention of rail freight service has also been a subject of concern with the Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 threatening the Cape's present rail service. Efforts to protect this service will be ongoing as the rail system for the Northeast is reor- ganized. The CCJTC also monitors and reviews highway improvement and the construction projects such as Rte 25/28 and the double -barreling of Route 6. Community concerns and comments are voiced in the coordinated planning process between the CCJTC, CCPEDC the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the Secretary of Transportation and Construction. Solid Waste Planning In cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, the Commission sponsored a study of Regional Solid Waste Management for Barnstable County. The study conducted by C.E. Maguire, Inc. proposed three possible sites for a regional disposal fa - 101 cilities. The three towns, named as possible site locations, Bourne, Dennis, Yarmouth, have participated in meetings to discuss the pro- posal. Funds for further implementation of the plan are not avail- able at this time but the Commission hopes to pursue the recom- mendations of the study as local interest and funding develops. Fiscal and Governmental Analysis Working with town boards and elected officials has become a major emphasis of the Commission's activities. A close working re- lationship has developed with a number of Cape -wide groups and most notably the Barnstable County Selectmen's Association. Early in the year the BCSA requested that the Commission intensify its ef- forts in analyzing the formulas that determine state aid to the towns. This in-depth analysis has produced a comprehensive review of current state aid formulas and recent trends in the distribution of state funds. The recommendations of this report may prove a valuable aid to the Selectmen and the Cape's Delegation to the Gen- eral Colurt in assessing the Cape's interests in future state aid mea- sures. Concurrently the Commission has published a "Legislative Review '74" outlining legislation of interest to the people of Cape Cod. This booklet can be a helpful guide to upcoming legislative efforts and the potential impacts on the Cape. What Next? The Commission's work provides a balanced program of ex- amining the needs of Barnstable County. Funds for this balanced approach are provided by the County and are supplemented by special federal and state funding programs. During the past year approximately $24,000 was granted to the Commission by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and an- other $25,000 in Economic Development Administration (EDA) funds were utilized to support the Commission's economic develop- ment activities. The state made available $20,000 for transporta- tion planning and an additional $9,000 for cooperative solid waste management planning. The Commission expects continued funding from HUD and EDA in the coming year. Additional transportation planning funds totalling $32,000 and some $9,000 to initiate the Coastal Zone Management Program on Cape Cod are also expected from the State. The work supported by these funds has stimulated new ideas and approaches to both regional and local problems. While many of the Commission's recommendations have not found immediate 102 acceptance from county and town leaders, many have gained growing support over time. In recent months new interest in es- tablishing a County data processing center, a County purchasing department and a Barnstable County Jobs Development Corpora tion has been voiced by locally elected officials. These proposals, suggeested by the Commission in past years, may prove of great value in the future. The fruits of cooperative efforts are not always concrete and quantifiable. By coming together and providing a forum for regional concerns, a new strength and a new potential for the betterment of all can be realized. While the Commission has made great strides, the many areas of its activity require an ongoing program. In December 1974, a meeting was held to give Cape Cod citizens an opportunity to com- ment on the Commission's program and its direction. Economic concerns were voiced and a desire for expanding citizen participa- tion programs was evident. While this was just a small group of citi- zens their concerns have been heard throughout the Cape. The Commission's efforts to involve residents have been rewarded by ac- ceptance of one of its major priorities- the groundwater inventory - by increasing awareness of Commission activities, and a deepening interest in regional approaches to common problems. These pro- ductive directions will be followed as the Commission continues to play an active role in the Cape Cod community. Respectfully submitted, Thomas E. Kelley Charles W. Eager Commissioners REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. The Yarmouth Housing Authority planned and completed painting of all hallways, installed new drainage for all sump pumps and repaired sink drainage in buildings One and Two. Also due to change of tenants, three apartments were completely refurbished. 103 Again, a request to the Department of Community Affairs to build two units on existing land to house the elderly received a negative answer. We now have 52 applicants for elderly housing. At present 40 units are completely occupied. Briefly, eligibility requirements are that a person must be 62 years of age or over (single persons living alone or couples are eligible) and of low income. The average monthly rent is $50.00 per month and includes heat, electricity and water. Financial statement of operation as of December 1974 is: Income including State Aid Expenses $41,621.62 38,820.88 2,800.74 Respectfully submitted, Emanuel M. Wensley, Chairman Spear T. Holway, Treasurer Francis Richard Ann DaLuz REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: The Department of Natural Resources was formed by the Se- lectmen in order to use man -power and equipment in the Town more efficiently. This department's function is to resolve many of the natural resource projects and problems. CONSERVATION Trails are being established, with small parking areas from Higgins Crowell Road east and along the north side of Horse Pond; and from Willow Street on the south side of Dennis Road. These trails are for public use; and have benches and various types of bird houses and duck nesting areas placed at proper locations. It is my hope to ex- pand these trails and planned nature walks. 104 The Herring Run is being brushed, cleaned and dug for the Spring run. The largest Run (between Swan Lake and Long Pond) shows greater amounts of fish every year. The Department hopes to be able to work on some of the other Runs (if time and money allow). This Department investigated 53 calls for Wetlands Altera- tions; such as Piers, Seawalls and Land Clearing. There were 7 "Cease & Desist" orders served for Wetland Filling without having a proper permit. , One (1) such violation incurred court procedures. There is constant pressure for filling wetlands, increasing every year. SHELLFISH PERMITS: Resident 2,022 at $ 3.00 $6,066.00 Non-Resident—Year Round 4 at $25.00 $ 100.00 Non-Resident—Per/Day 28 at $ 5.00 $ 140.00 Commercial 20 at $25.00 $ 500.00 2,074 $6,806.00 Clams show a slow, but steady increase in small areas of the Town. Commerical clamming (in deep water, using the Hy- draulic method) held good in the Spring and Fall months. Quahogs, (the more plentiful shellfish) are holding their own; due to the scientific planting program of the department. A machine was placed in various areas of Lewis Bay, to search for new grounds and stock. Quahogs were found 18" to 24" deep and meas- uring 5" to 7" lengthwise and approximately 25 years old. No new seed Quahogs were found. Oysters will continue to be harvested during festive holidays (on a limited basis). Scallops in BassRiver were plentiful for about three weeks. A count, (of persons taking scallops), was taken for a few days and averaged approximately 400 persons/per day. Lewis Bay had another lean year in scallops. This again was due to the heavy sea- weed (Codium Fragile). Our predator control program is now running about the same from year to year. Our Water Sampling Stations were checked weekly. Tests were taken by our Biologist, through our own new Field Labora- tory. Three areas were found with sewage leaking into the shellfish areas. These were tracked down and corrected. Immediate action, 105 concerning polution of our waters, is the foremost concern of the Department. I wish to thank the Citizens and Personnel of the Town of Yar- mouth and the State and County Departments, for their coopera- tion during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Morris I. Johnson, Jr. Supervisor REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1974. Miles of Main added to system 3.88 Services installed during 1974 283 Gallons of water pumped 825,416,000 Present number of active services 10,284 Approximate miles of main 238.63 Total Hydrants (Approximate) 1,300 Water mains by sizes installed as of December 31, 1974 16" 12" 10" 8" 6" 2" Hydrants 2239' 270' 3155' 8071.5' 6484.5' 318' 27 During the calendar year 1974 the Yarmouth Water Department installed Two hundred and eighty three (283) new ser- vices. Water Department revenue for the fiscal year 1974 was Five hundred seventy-two thousand, sixty five dollars and fifty-one cents. (572,065.51), an increase of Twenty one thousand eight hun- dred sixty two dollars and fifty one cents ($21,862.51) over 1973. The gallonage pumped for 1974 was up fifty nine million, two hundred and ninety thousand, five hundred and fifty two gallons (59,290,552) or an increase of almost seven and three quarters per cent. On two consecutive days during the past summer, pumping exceeded six million gallons per day. Rainfall for the calendar year as measured at the Union Street pumping station, was forty point sixteen inches (40.16). 106 Completion of the overhauling of the two wells at Long Pond Drive (sub -stations #4 & 5), and the four wells at the main station (Union Street) was accomplished in early 1974. This work has made it possible for these wells to be used far more efficiently, and has in- creased the amount of water that can be drawn from them. Acting under the authority of Article #35 of 1974 the Board of Water Commissioners completed a taking of 8.25 plus or minus acres of land west of West Yarmouth Road. This is an addition to wellfield #6, and this taking will enable the Department to protect present well sites, and other well sites in the future as water usage demands. Also, the Board of Water Commissioners acting under the authority of Article #39, 1974 have started proceedings to obtain 31.3 plus or minus acres west of North Dennis Road, and north of Great Western Road. A hearing was requested of, and granted by, the Department of Public Health. The results of this hearing are ex- pected in January 1975. Preliminary test well work in this area in- dicates that approximately one and one half million gallons per day could be available. The Town Meeting of 1975 will be asked to appropriate monies to construct two wells, and pumping stations, complete with pumping equipment at this site, and for monies to complete the pumping station, and pumping equipment at the well site west of Higgins Crowell Road (#14). The pumping station located at Chickadee Lane, behind the Middle School property, was operated for the first time this summer, and provided a substantial amount of water during it's operation last summer and fall. In the same vein, it is expected that the department will be able to pump water from well site #14 on the west side of Higgins Crowell Road during the summer and fall of this year. Contracts for an access road, power line, and water main were awarded, and work has been started on the access road, and water main. The power line, and final grading of the access road are expected in the spring. Contracts were also awarded, and work completed on new water mains on Old Towne House Road, from Station Avenue to West Yarmouth Road, and on Willow Street from Railroad Avenue to the State Department of Public Works yard at Higgins Crowell Road. This work completes a very badly needed link between West Yarmouth, and Yarmouthport, as well as providing a link up be- tween the Higgins Crowell Road wellfield, and the new standpipe at Prospect Hill. The contracts for the water main and appurtenances, access road and power line, and the foundation, and the steel standpipe have been awarded, and work is expected to start on these projects in early 1975. Total completion of these projects is expected to take eighteen months. 107 A digital and analog computer is expected to be ready by the end of January and with the computer's help, the test well and water inventory is expected to be finished this year. Along with the computer program, it is hoped that monies will be appropriated to revise the 1959 Master Plan of the Water Department Distribution System. The Board of Water Commissioners are also submitting an ar- ticle for the reinforcing of the present water main along Route 6A, in the north-easterly section of town. This reinforcement will also help loop the North Main Street Wells and the proposed wells at North Dennis Road with the north side of town, and the rest of the distribution system. During the year, the Department was able to re-establish a series of programs of needed repairs to the system. Priority was given to the nearly 1300 fire hydrants in the Town, also the oper- ating and checking of the nearly 6300 gate valves in the system by means of an air driven gate wrench was initiated in the late spring. Repairs to the valves were made as needed. With the Chickadee Lane substation and #14 expected on the line in a year's time, our preventitive maintenance program is more important than ever. By locating and repairing minor problems we helped eliminate more costly and time consuming repairs. In looking at the long range goals of the Water Department, the completion of the Prospect Hill standpipe, and subsequent boosting of pressure and water supply to parts of Yarmouthport and West Yarmouth will greatly help meet the demands on the system from these sections of town. The application of the com- puter model program should help the Department in the locating of weak points in the system and also help show where additional supplies of potable water might be found. It is hoped that the Townspeople will look favorably on the requests of the Board of Water Commissioners for monies to fund the projects that will let the Department keep pace with the growth of the Town, and the demand for water. The Board of Water Commissioners wish to express their thanks to all those who have lent their support to the Department and its functions, and they continue to look forward to their support and guidance in the coming years.

To either of the Constables of the Town of Yarmouth Greetings: In the name of the Commonwealth you are hereby required to notify and warn the inhabitants of said Town, Tuesday the Fifth day of November, 1974 at 10:00 o'clock A.M. for the following pur- poses: 163 To bring in their votes to the election officers for the Election of the following officers: Governor Lieutenant Governor Attorney General Secretary Treasurer Auditor Congressman, Twelfth District Councillor, First District Senator, Cape, Plymouth and Islands District Representative in General Court, Fourth Barnstable District District Attorney, Cape and Island District County Commissioner, Barnstable County Sheriff, Barnstable County County Commissioner, Barnstable County (To fill vacancy) Also to vote on the following questions: QUESTION NO. 1 Do you approve of the adoption of an amendment to the con- stitution summarized below, which was approved by the General Court in a joint session of the two branches held August 25, 1971, received 212 votes in the affirmative and 39 in the negative, and in a joint session of the two branches held June 6, 1973, received 235 votes in the affirmative and 19 in the negative? SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment, if approved, would replace the present Article 52 of the Articles of Amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth and would empower the General Court, by concurrent vote of the two houses, to take a re- cess or recesses amounting to not more than thirty days. The present Article 52 permits such recesses but provides that "no such recess shall extend beyond the sixieth day" from the beginning of the legis- lative session. QUESTION NO. 2 Do you approve of the adoption of an amendment to the con- stitution summarized below, which was approved by the General Court in a joint session of the two branches held August 25, 1971. 164 received 177 votes in the affirmative and 65 in the negative, and in a joint session of the two branches held June 6, 1973, received 166 votes in the affirmative and 93 in the negative? SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment, if approved, would provide for a census in the year 1975 and every tenth year thereafter of the inhabitants of each city and town as a basis for determining the representative, senatorial and councillor districts for the ten year period beginning with the first Wednesday in the fourth January following the taking of the census, provided that the districts as es- tablished based on the 1971 census shall terminate on the first Wednesday in January, 1979. The census shall specify the number of inhabitants residing in each precinct of a town and each precinct and ward of a city. Under the proposed amendment, the House of Representa- tives would consist of 160 members, in contrast to the present membership of 240, and the Senate of 40 members. The General Court would, at its first regular session after the year in which the census is taken, divide the Commonwealth into 160 representative districts and 40 senatorial districts of contiguous territory so that each representative and each senator will represent an equal num- ber of inhabitants as nearly as may be; and such districts shall be formed, as nearly as may be, without uniting two counties or parts of two or more counties and, with respect to representative districts, without uniting as nearly as may be, two towns or parts of two or more towns, two cities or parts of two or more cities, or a city and a town, or parts of cities and towns, into one district, and without di- viding any town containing less than 2500 inhabitants. The General Court would be permitted to pass laws to limit the time within which judicial proceedings may be instituted calling in ques- tion any such division. The proposed amendment further provides that every representative, for one year at least immediately preced- ing his election, shall have been an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen, and every senator shall be an inhabitant of this Commonwealth for five years at least preceding his election and at the time of his election shall be an inhabitant of the district for which he is chosen. Every representative and senator shall cease to represent his district when he shall cease to be an inhabitant of the Commonwealth. The manner of calling and conducting the elec- tions for representatives and for senators and councillors, and of ascertaining their election, shall be prescribed by law. The amend- ment vests original jurisdiction in the Supreme Judicial Court, upon petition of any voter of the Commonwealth, filed with the clerk of 165 said court, for judicial relief relative to the establishment of House of Representatives, councillor and senatorial districts. QUESTION NO. 3 Do you approve of the adoption of an amendment to the con- stitution summarized below, which was approved by the General Court in a joint session of the two branches held June 7, 1972, re- ceived 250 votes in the affirmative and 3 in the negative, and in a joint session of the two branches held June 6, 1973, received 253 votes in the affirmative and 0 in the negative? SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would repeal Section 2 of Article 46 of the Articles of Amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth (the "anti -aid amendment", so-called), and re- place it with a new Section 2, for the purpose of allowing grants in aid to private higher educational institutions or to students, or parents or guardians of students attending such institutions. The proposed amend would delete the first clause of the present Section 2, which requires that all moneys raised by taxation in the towns and cities for the support of public schools, and all moneys appropriated by the Commonwealth for the support of common schools shall be applied to or expended in only those schools conducted according to law under the order and superin- tendence of the authorities of the town or city in which the money is expended. The effect of the deletion of the first clause of Section 2 would be to remove the constitutional prohibition against the use of public moneys, which have been raised by taxation or appropriated for support of public schools, for grants in aid to private higher edu- cational institutions or to students, or parents or guardians of students, attending such institutions. The proposed amendment would also alter the second clause of the present Section 2 by removing the prohibition against a grant, appropriation or use of public money or property or loan of public credit by the Commonwealth or any political subdivision for the purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding any school or institution of learning, whether under public control or otherwise, wherein any denominational doctrine is inculcated, or any other school or any college which is not publicly owned and under the exclusive control, order and superintendence of public officers or public agents. In place of the foregoing, the proposed amendment would prohibit the grant, appropriation or use of public money or pro - 166 perty or loan of credit by the Commonwealth of any political subdi- vision for the purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding any prim- ary or secondary school which is not publicly owned and under the exclusive control, order and superintendence of public officers or public agents. The proposed amendment would also add to the present Sec- tion 2 a provision that nothing therein shall be construed to prohibit grants in aid to private higher educational institution or to students or guardians of students, attending such institutions. QUESTION NO. 4 Do you approve of the adoption of an amendment to the con- stitution summarized below, which was approved by the General Court in a joint session of the two branches held May 17, 1972, re- ceived 131 votes in the affirmative and 121 in the negative, and in a joint session of the two branches held May 8, 1974, received 139 votes in the affirmative and 119 in the negative? SUMMARY The proposed constitutional amendment would revise Article 78 of the Articles of Amendment to the Constitution to permit the expenditure of money from the highway fund for mass transporta- tion lines and other mass transportation purposes in such manner as the Legislature may direct. The highway fund includes receipts from fees, duties, excises and license taxes relating to registration, operation or use of motor vehicles and taxes from the sale of motor vehicle fuels. The expenditure of money from such fund is presently restricted to highway and bridge construction, reconstruction, maintenance and repair, enforcement of state traffic laws, and ad- ministration of the tax statutes which provide highway fund re- ceipts. QUESTION NO. 5 Do you approve of a law summarized below which was disap- proved in the House of Representatives by a vote of 73 in the affirm- ative and 150 in the negative and was disapproved in the Senate by a vote of 16 in the affirmative and 22 in the negative? SUMMARY Provisions of the act establish an independent Corrupt Prac- tices Commission, with five members to be appointed by the Gover- 167 nor to staggered five year terms. The Commission has subpoena powers and is to investigate, by means of secret hearings, candi- dates' compliance with all state and federal laws relating to political campaign contributions and expenditures and corrupt. practices. If probable cause is shown, the Commission is required to direct the Attorney General to take further action in the proper form and is re- quired to make public a report of such action. In cases involving the campaign practices of the Attorney General himself, a special attor- ney is to be appointed. If no probable cause is shown, the Commis- sion is to state so publicly. Further, the proposed act extends the application of the current statute regarding the disclosure of campaign expenditures and contributions, to all candidates for office above the town and city level, with the exception of President and Vice President of the United States. The act requires all such candidates to receive and disburse all amounts greater than $25.00 by check, and makes it a crime to knowingly receive cash payment from a candidate or his committee for a service costing more than $25.00. The act also re- quires candidates to designate a single bank as depository of funds and as recordkeeper, with records of receipts and expenditures to be open to public scrutiny. Provisions of the act extend present campaign spending limits to cover all media expenses and require all media firms (including: television, radio, newspaper, billboard, magazine, advertising, public relations, printing, opinion polling, computer, telephone, telegraph) to report the purchase of media services by candidates. Media expenses of candidates for the offices of district attorney, clerk of court, register of probate and insolvency, register of deeds, county commissioner, county treasurer and sheriff are limited to $.07 for each resident of the respective electoral district. Other pro- visions of the act require candidates, upon offical announcement or filing of nomination papers, to report all political receipts and ex- penditures since the date of the last general election for the office sought, and count such expenditures toward spending limits. The act also limits candidates to one political committee. The act establishes a maximum penalty of one year imprison- ment and/or $10,000. fine for individuals engaged in corrupt prac- tices, and a $50,000. fine for corporations so involved. In addition, the Attorney General is permitted to bring an action for the removal of a candidate whose election was materially aided by corrupt prac- tices on the part of the candidiate or one acting in his behalf, where such removal is otherwise authorized by law. 168 QUESTION NO. 6 Should the General Court enact legislation during the nine- teen hundred and seventy-five session reorganizing state govern- ment by creating a Department of Health Systems Regulation which shall have the power to administer the medicaid program, control and set rates for nursing homes, hospitals, and other health provi- ders under medicaid, license and inspect health facilities, and regulate private health insurance policies, medical and hospital ser- vice plans? QUESTION NO. 7 "Shall an act passed by the General Court in the current year entitled 'An Act providing for the inventory, measuring and re- searching of the quality and quantity of the ground water of Barn- stable County, and authorizing the county commissioners of said county to borrow money therefor, be accepted? QUESTION NO. 8 "Shall an act passed by the General Court in the year nineteen hundred and seventy-three, entitled 'An Act establishing the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District and the Old King's High- way Regional Historic District Commission in Barnstable County', be accepted? The polls will be open at 10:00 o'clock A.M., to 8:00 o'clock P.M. Hereof fail not and make return of the Warrant with your do- ings thereon at the time and place of said meeting to the Town Clerk.

Sincere best wishes of the administration are publicly extended to: Mrs. Pauline L. Hopkins, Related Arts Department Head and Art Teacher, after fifteen years of service. 297 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Committee Report -1974 January 1, 1974, brought with it the resignation of Harold L. Hayes, Jr., who had been a member of the Planning Committee for the Dennis - Yarmouth Regional School District and had served as a Committee member and Secretary -Treasurer of the District since its inception. As the last remaining member of the original Committee, he will be missed not only by his colleagues, but also by Administrators and staff. His faithful service to the communities of Dennis and Yarmouth will be long remembered. The Committee appointed Elinor Slade and Frederick Small as Temporary District Secretary and Temporary District Treasurer, respectively, and Leah Magurn as assistant in both capacities. At the Annual Meeting of the District in May, Col. Yount was elected Chairman and Mrs. Hofmann, Vice Chairman. Mrs. Slade was appointed District Secretary and Mr. Small, District Treasurer. At the annual town elections, four new members were elected -to replace Mr. Hayes, Mr. Whipple, Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Hodsdon. Richard Ernst, James Mc Vey and Russell Wilkins were elected in the Town of Yarmouth; Warren Nelson in the Town of Dennis. In October, Mr. Small resigned as Committee member and as Treasurer of the District. Robert Saben, Jr., was appointed by the Selectmen of the Town of Yarmouth to serve as Committee member until the next annual election, and the Committee appointed Margaret Mathews as Temporary Treasurer until the next Annual District election in May, 1975. The dedication and conscientiousness of those who have given of themselves for the past several years have left an indelible mark. The inevitability of change is a pattern in all governmental affairs, and working together for the welfare of all concerned has been recognized as the paramount consideration. Early in the year, the firm of LYONS MATHER AND LECHNER began working on plans for new construction. In conjunction with a subcommittee designated for this purpose, drawings have been developed for the review of the Committee at regular meetings. Townspeople have shown their interest in designs, through suggestions made at well - attended sessions. Preliminary plans have been submitted to the School Building Assistance Bureau for approval. The beginning of the school year saw a new administrative concept. Dr. John Murphy and Dr. Robert Kessler had left their posts as Super- intendent and Director of Secondary Education for employment' in other Districts. It was the decision of the Committee to hire a Superintendent/Principal for the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. After an intensive search, a subcommittee interviewed selected candidates for recommendation to the Committee. In September, Charles P. Liberty was appointed Superintendent/Principal for the school year. Mr. Liberty has had experience as Assistant Principal for a number of years and is cognizant of the D -Y school situation. He has shown remarkable adaptability to the problem of double sessions, with which we are wrestling. He has also devoted much time to fiscal matters, in close cooperation with the Budget Subcommittee. 298 In August, initial steps for preparation of a proposed amendment to the Agreement, which would permit K-12 regionalization, were taken. With the assistance of Legal Counsel, the Committee has been working diligently to draft an amendment which will incorporate the thinking of members and concerned citizens, as well. A Future Planning Sub- committee was appointed in October to study all facets of K-12 regionali- zation, dissolution of the region, and a status quo organization. It was voted that the selectmen be requested to hold special town meetings to allow the voters to make a determination concerning the issue. The Committee, as Trustee of the Dennis—Yarmouth Regional School District Scholarship Fund, has been privileged to award $4,200 in additional scholarships this year. We have been grateful to receive during the year $4,400 in donations and loan repayments. Payments on awards to students granted in previous years have continued. The financial report of the District reflects transactions in this area, as in all fiscal matters, for the period July 1, 1974, through December 31, 1974. As is the custom of the District, excess funds have been fully in- vested. The income derived from Certificates of Deposit and savings deposits has totaled nearly $42,800, due—in large part—to an unprece- dentedly high yield on Certificates of Deposit during the mid-portion of 1974. The overriding purpose of the Committee remains, as always, to provide the best possible education for the students of the District, recognizing — in the words of Aristotle — that "The fate of empires depends on the education of youth."

Saben, Jr. Russell N. Wilkins 299 DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Annual Report Superintendent/Principal The year 1974 has been one of transition, challenges, and ac- complishments for Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. In the Spring of the year, a 50% change in the Regional School Committee occurred. In late Summer, the Superintendent, Dr. John A. Murphy, resigned to take a position in New Jersey and the Principal, Dr. Robert E. Kessler, resigned to accept a position in Ohio, leaving a void that was very difficult to fill. With the help of the administrators, the faculty, the staff, and the student body we have successfully continued the education of the grade nine through twelve students of Dennis and Yarmouth under extremely adverse conditions -namely, double sessions. I believe an accurate description of our current situation can best be illustrated by quoting my annual yearbook message to the class of 1975: As your secondary education comes to an end, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your inspirational help and interest in making Dennis -Yarmouth a school we can all be proud of. In the last four years, you have faced a multitude of changes in curriculum, leisure time activities, school day sessions, and overall community philosophy toward education, and you seem to have borne up well under the strain. My sincere wish is that you gain the success in the future you desire as an individual and that, collectively,.you become a constructive element of our member communities. My hope is that you will not forget us as you leave, but will continue to help in any way you can to improve the educational situation in Dennis and Yarmouth to. 'benefit the students of the future. Again, my thanks to all of you. It has been an honor to know and work with you. In conclusion, may I state that our space needs at the high school are acute, and positive action must be taken as soon as possible. I thank the School Committee, the Community, the Parents, and, most of all, the students for their support during this transitional period. It has been a truly rewarding experience. Charles P.

Through this continuing generosity, we have paid to students or colleges a total of over $3,500.00 - on current awards arid balan- ces due for previous pledges. Contributors during the past year have been: "The Sharon Callachan Fund," Yarmouth Trust Fund Commissioners, Memorials for William P. Frost, Howard B. Munroe and Peter Maxtone-Graham, Yarmouth Police Assn., Young Couples' Club, the Castonguay Memorial and the Friday Club. At Awards Night in 1973, $4,300.00 in scholarships and outright awards were presented. While the majority of monies for these purposes have been taken from the General Fund, many have been made possible through memorial funds and the Drama Fund, as well as donations from the Art De- partment. Because of our firm belief in the philosophy expressed by Diogenes - "The foundation of every state is the education of its youth" - the Trustees have been honored to be the conduit of the beneficence of all donors_ 313 DENNIS — YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE OFFICE SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTS AND BALANCES DECEMBER 31, 1974 Monthly Cumulative Unencumbered Appropriation Transfers Expense Expense Balance Balance Administration School Committee Professional Salaries Clerical Salaries Contracted Services Supplies & Materials Other Expenses (Travel, Dinners, etc.) Other Expenses (Planning) Superintendent's Office Professional Salaries Clerical Salaries Supplies & Materials Other Expenses Instruction Supervision Professional Salaries—Study Hall Professional Salaries—Dept.

Other Commissioners were drawn from a cross section of Yar- mouth citizens and organizations. The first meetings were held in August, 1974. Out of these exploratory sessions came the ideas and programs that were responsible for Yarmouth's receiving national recognition and a Charter from the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration in Washington, D.C. The Charter, together with an ARBA Flag, was pre- sented at the Annual Town Meeting, April 8, 1975. As a nationally recognized community, Yarmouth is making a valid and sustained effort to fulfill the requirements incorporated into the National theme: "A past to remember, a future to mold." It is a multiple theme involving the categories of Heritage '76, Festival USA, and Horizon '76. Suitable programs have been planned and implemented for each category. In the area of public events, the Bicentennial Commission presented the Community Raising and Dedication of the Liberty Pole, November 3, 1974, on the Town Office green. Liberty Poles, two of which were known to be found in Yarmouth 200 years ago, were raised prior to the Revolution by patriots who gathered at them to hear news of dissent with English rule. Discussions of events which led to open rebellion and to the War of Inde- pendence also took place at the Liberty Poles. On May 17, 1975, Yarmouth's Colonial Cotillion was presented at the Mattacheesse School. For several weeks prior to the Ball, Yarmouth sponsored sewing labs at the school to assist those who wished to make period dress. With the music of Russ Kelsey, an appearance by the Cape Cod Barnstable County Militia, a prominent Dance Caller, a Flag procession, and fine refreshments, the Cotillion was a success. The Memorial Day Parade, sponsored by Yarmouth Post # 197m American Legion, saw the participation of the Yarmouth Bicentennial Commission with the entrance of a Heritage float. Independence Day, 1975, was celebrated with a Marine parade on Bass River with the Town of Dennis, a part of Yarmouth until 1793. Involvement was extensive with patriotically decorated crafts stretching a mile upriver. On August 1, 1975, Yarmouth, in co-operation with the Towns of Barnstable, Brewster and Dennis sponsored the musical "1776" by the Patriot Players. Projects for 1975 were varied. Some are ongoing throughout the two-year Bicentennial period; others were completed. The design of a Heritage Quilt portraying various scenes in Yarmouth surrounding the Town Seal was undertaken. The work was done by a group of talented and dedicated Yarmouth women. The quilt will be placed on permanent display sometime after its completion. "Living History," tape recorded remin- iscenses with Senior Yarmouth natives has been instituted. When corn - 20. pleted, the tapes will be placed in libraries and schools. Collection of data for an anecdotal pamphlet "Little Known Facts About Yarmouth" was begun. Slide lectures accompanied by taped dialog presenting the history of Yarmouth have been under preparation to Town schools and libraries. Markings of old homes by date and the preservation of an old scrapbook of Yarmouth dating from the 1800's were planned. A collection of replicas of Revolutionary period flags to be used by schools and Town organizations was begun. A pictorial record of Bicentennial events was started. Although the Commission abjures the ordinary "buycentennial" con- cept, we purchased a delightful watercolor montage of the Town by Cape artist Karen Rinaldo. From the original painting 500 full-sized prints have been made. In August, to fulfull popular request, the Commission desig- nated a Commemorative Medallion. The 10 guage bronze medallion features the Seal of the Town of Yarmouth on the obverse and the Bass River Windmill on the reverse. Only 1000 were struck and numbered in series. Both prints and medallions are available at low cost at the Town Office and at the Yarmouth libraries. On a lesser scale the Bicentennial Commission has aided local organ- izations and schools with period dress information, research, and general encouragement. Several out -of -Town requests for assistance were received and satisfied. The Commission has been fortunate in having the excellent cooper- ation of many Town departments, officials, organizations, and individuals. From research to rock -hunting they have been of invaluable assistance. Notably the Clerk -Treasurer's and Selectmen's offices and the departments of Engineering, Highway and Sanitation, as well as the Libraries have been particularly helpful. The Joshua Gray Chapter of the D.A.R. is commended for its generous gift of an ARBA flag to the Town. Miss Ann Treat Reynolds, Chairman of the Dennis Bicentennial Commission, is thanked for her vigorous effort with Colonial Cotillion preparations. Mr. Walter Gaffney of Centerville receives our sincere gratitude for his time and expertise in the designing of the Heritage Quilt. The Commission's composite aim is that our underlying themes be community education, cooperation, and a sharing of ourselves. We be- lieve we made a good beginning in 1975 and hope that our performance during the Bicentennial year will be the proof. Marilyn E. Tanner, Chairman Yarmouth Bicentennial Commission 21. REPORT OF THE VETERAN'S AGENT Herewith is the 1975 Annual Report of the District Department of Veterans Services: Again, like in all years past, we have tried to make the Veterans Service Department a one-stop center for veterans and their dependents. Under Chapter 115 and 483 of the Mass. General Laws, we aid, assist, advise, file claims and explore each avenue of resource and re- venue for these veterans and dependents. The Department of Veterans Services during 1975 handled 6,645 visits to our office and 6,759 incoming telephone calls. In each case, our personnel have tried to treat them with courtesy and dignity as human beings. Enclosed is a report from the Investigator, Sidney L. Chase. Respectfully, Charles H. Cross Director and Veterans Agent District Board: Carl Hiler, Sandwich, Chairman Paul Brown, Barnstable Charles Eager, Yarmouth Henry Kelley, II, Dennis Kevin O'Connell, Mashpee REPORT OF THE VETERAN'S SERVICES INVESTIGATOR As Investigator of this Department, it is my responsibility to estab- lish eligibility on each case through investigation. During these investigations, I also try to find avenues that the veterans can follow to receive the means of support through: Employment, Un- employment Compensation, Workmen's Compensation, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security, Veteran's Compensation, Veteran's Pension or Widow's Pension. Therefore, I must keep abreast of all laws govering these agencies and the changes in said laws. Respectfully, Sidney L. Chase Investigator 22. REPORT OF THE TOWN SURVEYOR To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: I am pleased to report some of the achievements of the Engineering Department during the year 1975. Eleven (11) new roads were laid out for acceptance and construction and eight (8) Town roads were accepted for reconstruction under depart- ment supervision. Due to heavy rainfall and extremely high water table, drainage has been a major concern of the department throughout the year. Several of the problems have been solved and work in this field is a priority. Plans were drawn for the Water Department, Conservation Commission and several other departments for purchase and takings, for public use, water supply and Town building expansion. Fourteen (14) new Assessors maps were completed, leaving only a few remaining to be drawn to complete the set of 135, covering the entire area of the Town. Mr. Ian Jenike began employment with the department on May 12, 1975 as Assistant Town Surveyor and together with the other employees of the department and myself, wishes to thank the citizens and other de- partments for their cooperation and help. Respectfully submitted, John L. Newton TOWN SURVEYOR 23. Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: I am happy Afternoons Evenings Friday A.M. Saturday A.M.

One is the Friday morning coffee hours which are very nearly self-sufforting due to the generosity of the participants. This service offers comradeship, exchange of ideas, discus- sion of books and really creates good will. The Saturday morning film showing for the children is also most rewarding and the Friends of the Yarmouth Library meetings which are still ably presided over by Theodore Childs, President, and supported by his loyal staff and members. Reference work is so important --yet shows no figures. We try very hard to fill this need by answers given over the phone, by mail or in person. We still feel so fortunate that we are able to borrow books and films from the Eastern Regional. Frank Finn and Shirley Lyons and the pers9ns in charge at Falmouth and Boston Public are all cooperative and deserve our highest praise. 24. National Library Week started with open house held on Sunday after- noon, April 13, 1975. This event heralded a successful week due to the joint efforts of members of the Friends and members of the Board of Trustees. We are all grateful to the members of the Women's Fellowship and to the Meeteneets of the First Congregational Church of Yarmouth for not only furnishing a delightful food exhibit but giving the proceeds from the sale of the food to the Library toward the purchase of a much-needed 16 mm film projector. To the many, especially the children, who gave money toward the projector we extend thanks and a very special thanks to the anonymous donor who contributed the large balance needed to make the purchase pos- sible sooner than otherwise would have been possible. We also appreciate having the use of a projector from the Depository until we could purchase. This saved us quite a bit of money. Mrs. Walter Porter and Mrs. Hosea Wheeler, members of the Yar- mouth Garden Club, have been most generous with their contributions of flower arrangements, plants and Holiday decorations. The books purchases with money given by the Garden Club are widely read and enjoyed. To this Club we are grateful. In August we were all saddened by the death of our loyal President, Thomas R. Nunan. Mr. Nunan was an unusually dedicated official who gave willingly and tirelessly of his time for the Library. Mr. Frank Ryder is the newly -elected President of the Corporation and Board of Trustees. He is most helpful and cooperative. Mr. Hosea Wheeler was appointed a Trustee in July. Mr. Wheeler is outstandingly active. He is a welcome member. To the members of the Board of Trustees, to Mrs. Arthur M. Smith and Miss Shirley Lyons, Assistants, to the borrowers, to the Selectmen, members of the Finance Committee, to the Taxpayers and to Mrs. Lawrence Sibley and her musicians for furnishing beautiful music at the Christman Wassail party, we extend our deepest appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Martha U. White, Librarian Yarmouth Library Association 25. REPORT OF THE SOUTH YARMOUTH LIBRARY ASSOCIATION To the Board of Selectmen: After 26 years as a member of the Board of Directors of the South Yarmouth Library, 20 of them as President, Mrs. Ann Maxtone-Graham has retired. Her interest and devotion to our library has always been above and beyond the call of duty and she will be sorely missed by everyone. Under her able leadership, two additions to our facilities have been built and our circulation has increased from 14,455 in 1954 to 55,165 in 1975, an increase of 40,710 volumes. We know she wil always be interested in our welfare and we wish her the best of everything. 1975 has been another busy year for us and we show an increase of 5,184 volumes over the 1974 figures as follows: CIRCULATION Adult Juvenile Periodicals Records Pictures Pamohlets Total 1974 39,695 9,013 899 340 8 26 49,981 1975 43,718 9,885 1,184 342 35 1 55,165 Number of days open — 253.

In August, we had our third annual outdoor book sale which was very successful. Our pre-school Story Hour with Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Bingham con- tinues to grow and is enjoyed by the childrenl. We continue to use the Eastern Massachusetts Regional Library System Depository for additional books and for films and records. We appreciate the cooperation of Ms. Shirley Lyons and Mr. Frank Finn, Jr. We wish to express our thanks to the Yarmouth Woman's Club and the Yarmouth Garden Club for their gifts of books and plants and decor - 26. ations throughout the year. These are always enjoyed by•our patrons. Once again I have attended several meetings and workshops during the year. These included the New England Library Association annual conference, Massachusetts Library Association meetings, the Cape Cod Library Club meetings, as well as several local and state meetings and workshops. These are always helpful and informative. And now, as always, it is my pleasure to thank everyone who has helped us in so many ways, either by gifts of books, money, or their time. To Mrs. Betty Keary for our lovely front gardens; to our staff, Nancy Stewart, Rachel Stowe, Jean Bingham, and Sandra Rogers, and Pamela Fernald, our CETA worker, our thanks for a job well done. To Mr. Thomas Annin for generously volunteering one afternoon a week --our thanks. And finally, to our entire Board of Directors, thank you for your continued interest and support.

To facilitate the checking out of books we have installed a mechanical charging system, which provides speed and accuracy. We are also in the process of reregis- tering all our cardholders in order to update our records. Again we have benefited greatly from the services of the Boston Regional Library system, especially in the areas of interlibrary loan and the book borrowing facilities of the Yarmouthport Depository. By attend- ing a series of workshops we were able to receive $350.00 worth of cur- rent reference books of our choice. In the spring we began to circulate games and puzzles donated by our patrons and these proved to be popular with our many summer visitors. Our pre-school story time held on Thursday afternoons continues to attract the youngest members of our library. 28. Information concerning the borrowing of a talking book machine from the Library of Congress is available to anyone unable to read regu- lar books. Our large print book collection continues to be popular and helpful to our patrons with limited vision. We wish to thank the Yarmouth Garden Club for the many seasonal floral displays they have given to us over the past year. We would also like to thank our library volunteers, especially Mrs. Herbert Lawson for the time and effort she gives to our record col- lection, Mrs. Joseph Loughlin and Mrs. Norman MacKay on the tele- phone committee, Mrs. Larry Cadman and Mrs. Warren Peterson. Our able staff, Mrs. Edith Cavander, Mrs. Lee Wetjen and Mrs. Diane Nielsen helped to make our year such a successful one and we wish to thank them and our Board of Trustees for their cooperation and support.

A total of 539 Building Permits were applied for and issued for con- struction estimated to cost $21,536.48. These permits were: 142 residential, 75 non-residential, and 322 for pools, alterations and additions. The department has four full-time men to cover building inspection, sewage inspection, agent for the Board of Health, sign inspector, Seal- er of Weights and Measures, Town By -Laws enforcement and occu- pancy permits for all buildings. Occupancy permits total for 1975 amounted to 274 for new residen- tial buildings. Problems and work load have been on the increase, and this year we have new laws due to the State Building Code. The Building Inspection Department which requires smoke detectors also had to take over all the inspections of Public Schools, Theaters, Nur- sing Homes, and all Buildings that are used by the public, etc., were in- spected by this department during 1975. This means an added work load on all personel in this department with regards to inspections and paper work; it means a lot bigger respon- sibility to this department and the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, Howard Spurr Building Inspector REPORT OF WIRING INSPECTOR I hereby submit my report as inspector of wiring for the year 1975. During the year I made a total of 668 wiring inspections on permits thatwere issued. Also I spent 242 hours in the office and covered 1900 miles to make these inspections. I'm also on 24 hour call in case of fire damage which has to be inspec- ted and tagged for the power company and fire department. Respectfully submitted, John Stever Wiring Inspector 34. REPORT OF THE PLUMBING AND GAS INSPECTOR I hereby submit my report as inspector of Plumbing and Gas for the year 1975. During the year I made a total of 397 Plumbing Inspections and 447 Gas Inspections on permits that were issued. The income from Plumbing permits for the year 1975 was $3,695.50 and from Gas permits for the year 1975 was $2,970.50. The fire department calls on the gas inspector in regards to a fire in a home or place of business that has gas installed on the premises, regard- less of time of day or night. Respectfully submitted, James J. McDonald,' Plumbing and Gas Inspector 35.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Town of Yarmouth Citizens: The 1975 fiscal year at the Highway Department has been a fairly prosperous year. At the Annual Town Meeting in 1975, the following new roads were voted and accepted for construction, re -construction, and main- tenance: Ancient Rd., (Wendward Way), Cygnet Rd., Forest Rd., (portion), Kerry Court, Lorena & Andrina Rds., Mayflower Rd., Oval Drive, Violet Glen Rd., Williams Rd., (Misty Ln.), Wilson Rd., Woodbine Ave., Follins Pd. Rd., High Bank Rd., (portion), Long Pong Dr., (portion), Ocean Ave., Old Town House Rd., Sea Gull Rd., Summer St., West Yarmouth Rd., (portion), and ninety percent of these roads have been completed and the remaining roads will be done in the spring. Also, (13) Carryover Roads have been completed. A total of 1807.47 L.F. of curbing was installed for sidewalks on Long Pond Drive, South of Yarmouth. Installation of (46) Leach Basins, and 1240 feet of pipe were used for Drainage. Approximately (1187) Catch Basins were cleaned in April and September. Several of the same basins are cleaned twice a year and most of our problems are on private roads. The Grader Machine is in use approximately (10) months of the year, weather permitting, and each and every dirt road is graded at least once a year, additional request are made twice on certain roads. Our two Sweepers, one town owned, one rented, are in use (10) months of the year, weather permitting, and of course when in work- ing condition. With an estimated (261) miles of road throughout the Town of Yarmouth, town and private, two sweepers are unable to handle all these roads yearly. Maintenance and Repairs to Highway Roads is one of the main factors of the department. Roads are always in need of attention for repairs, especially due to heavy traffic wear and tear, after heavy rains, and snow and ice removal. In addition to our (12) permanent employees, we also employ (2) summer helpers for ten weeks a year. They mainly handle the large litter problem and miscellaneous duties during the summer months which proves to be an asset to the town at this time. The Sign Department works out of the Highway Headquarters and employs one permanent man for all installations of signs throughout the town. It is quite a work load for one man who continuously re- places damaged signs, missing signs, and including sign post. It is especially busy and costly during our tourist season, May through 37. October. Signs are a very serious problem, especially Stop Signs, which may cause unnecessary accidents; Caution Signs and Speed Limit, and missing Street Signs. A total of (773) signs, new and old, were placed and replaced, with (400) posts installed which (370) were replacements. Appreciation is extended to our sign man. Snow and Ice Removal proved to be very successful this year with the exceptional work done by our Highway Crew and Hired Plows, considering the continuous storms unexpected, and which, fortunately, we were prepared for by having been equipped with mat- erials and equipment. We would like to extend our appreciation for the assistance and cooperation from our Selectmens' Office, Sanitation Dept., Engineer- ing Dept., Town Clerk -Treasurer, Water Dept., and other Town Officials throughout the year. Thank you also to the Town of Yar- mouth Residents for their patience and understanding during the year. Last, but not least, special thanks to Peter G. Homer, for his time and attention in helping out the Department in time of need. Respectfully submitted, James C. Marsh Surveyor of Highways 38. NATURAL RESOURCES DATA COMMITTEE In July of 1975, the Board of Selectmen, under the chair- manship of Charles W. Eager, realized the importance of a nat- ural resources data bank and formedthis committee to gather information concerning Yarmouth's natural resources. All town departments have been helpfully involved, especially the Conservation Commission, Engineering Department, Harbormaster, Park Department, Planning Board, Police Department, Resource Officer and the Girls at the Town Hall. Their dedication of time and energy along with the outstanding efforts of two private citi- zens, Carl Baker and Curtiss Noyes, have been invaluable. With the technical assistance received from the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service, maps have been compiled for: Urban Land; Agricultural Land; Municipal Water; Wildlife Land/Wildlife Wetland/Woodland; Dedicated Land; and the Future Development Areas (land commit- ted to urban development). The map remaining is for Recreation Land/Recreation Water, which is expected to be completed by early summer. The finished composite map with mylar overlays will be designed to enable future adjustments to be made. Data inventory sheets will be completed and then the town will be able to tabulate by percentages the ratio rating of its natural resources. A Natural Resources Data Bank will enable the various town agencies concerned with these resources, and the resulting impact on our town, to formulate and implement decisions based upon this quality index.

Heide Smith Bruce W. Thompson Alexander C. Todd, Jr. Paul A. Wilson REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH CEMETERY DEPARTMENT To the Board of Selectmen: During the past year the Cemetery Department ,,,ice v IC hundred five (105) lots and this amounted to $10,037.50 for the sale of lots, out of this figure, $6,671.00 went into the Per- petual Care Fund. The Department has been growing in the last two years and a Working Foreman has been added plus a pick-up truck for the department use in the care and maintenance of 32.382 acres of Town Cemeteries. Extra part-time labor is added during the spring and summer season.' Projects in Ancient Cemetery underway were clearing over seven (7) acres of land, surveying and plot -planning this new section. Water pipes were replaced in the old section and thanks to the Water Department we have a new service off Ancient Way. Plans are being made for water in the new section. Because of the in- creasing amount of burials, we have concentrated on the above cemetery this past year. We have also completed roughing 2400 feet of road in the new cemetery area off Higgins -Crowell Road. Slashed and trimmed back boundaries on the 33.70 acres in this new cemetery area. This part year we were hit by a terrific amount of vandal- ism in which the department repaired without the need of out- side help and saved the Town an estimated $5000.00. During the winter months research, remapping and recharting of the whole area of Woodside, West Yarmouth and Pine Grove Cemetery, South Yarmouth were completed with both the cooper- ation of the Chairman and the Working Foreman. Our thanks and appreciation go to the Highway and Sanitation Departments for their help during this past year. Respectfully submitted. CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS Gordon Clark Jr. Chairman William Poole Albert Whitehead Jr. 40. REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth South Yarmouth, Mass. 02664 Gentlemen, I hereby submit my annual report of the Sanitation Department for the year 1974-75. The open hours of the landfill area at the junction of Forest Road & Old Town House Road, South Yarmouth are 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Our summer hours, July 01, through September 01, at 8:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. The landfill area was opened (362) days this year, and closed only (3) days, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. The Finance Committee has recommended that the Landfill .be closed all holidays except July 04, and Labor Day for economy reasons. Our first year of town operations, $20,167 was taken in for the sale of Dump Coupons, and $3983.50 for the sale of Scrap Metal. Total income was $24,140.50. During the year the Sanitation Department was able to help or assist the Park Department, Cemetery Department, Conservation Com- mission, and Highway Department for a savings of $11,160 to the taxpayers. Our biggest problem in the Landfill area is the handling of our sewage. We received 5,081,700 gals. from our licensed haulers. We have plans for a Sewage treatment Plant for septics. However, State and Federal Funds are not available at this time for assisting. We received 59,223 cubic yards of refuse from licensed haulers, and we estimate that 122,000 vehicles pass through our gates per year. I would also like to extend my gratitude for all your assistance for a very successful year. Respectfully submitted, Peter G. Homer Superintendant of Sanitation 41. REPORT OF THE CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE On January 1, 1975 fourteen people were industriously work- ing in the Gilmore House to get the school ready for opening in September, 1975, for 900 pupils. It had been hoped that the school itself would be ready for partial occupancy early in 1975 but that was not to work out—the date of acceptance of the building turned out to be July 28, 1975. The delay in the acceptance of the building did hamper the physical development of the program, including sup- plies and materials, and equipment installation, but it in no way dimmed the enthusiasm of the fourteen people working at the task of devel- oping the educatiorfal program that was the real reason for the devel- opment of this vocational facility which was a dream back in 1969. One of the most important activities that took place during the Spring of 1975 was in the screening, interviewing and selection of a staff that grew from fourteen in January to 155 in December of 1975— this includes professional and non-professional employees. Develop- ment of the vocational staff was accomplished by finding the best posible teacher for the work stations that make up the vocational areas. of the school. In all vocational high schools fifty per cent of the student's time is spent in shop or laboratory and the remainder of the time is spent in theory directly related to his occupational choice, and an academic program that will enable our students to receive a high school diploma. Those of you who have visited Cape Cod Tech know that our academic classroom area on the third floor is an open area which nec- essitates the creation of an academic program that will work in that environment. The Committee chose to pursue differentiated staffing, which includes team leaders, staff teachers, and paraprofessionals. The most exciting activity during the Spring months on 1975 was the tremendous response we received from the students in the send- ing schools after they had an opportunity to tour our building during the month of May. We wish to publicly thank J. L. Marshall & Sons, Inc., the general contractor, for allowing these tours to take place, even though the construction was not fully completed. We also thank the students and the teachers who accompanied them for the assistance they gave in making these tours successful. The months of July and August were action -packed with the installation of equipment, the ordering of supplies and materials and moveable equipment, and the conducting of a staff development pro- gram for the vocational and the academic teachers. On August 26th an Open House was held for parents of students who had elected to attend Cape Cod Tech, which was well attended and seemed to be appreciated by all. 42. September 3rd was the big day in the history of Cape Cod Tech for the 979 students who had signed up to go to the school for its first year. Unfortunately some of the students who signed up in the previous Spring decided not to come, and our student census of October 1st was 957 students. Due to the fact that we did have this large turnout of students the Committee had to add more staff mem- bers to operate the program, and fortunately, due to the expert in- vestment of our construction monies by our District Treasurer, Dean T. Fleming, the earned interest was sufficient to fund the neces- sary positions. An Open House was held on October 19, 1975 and some 3,000 people toured the building. Senator Edward M. Kennedy was the keynote speaker for the formal dedication ceremony, and the keys to the building were turned over by Richard C. Rosane,of the architec- tural firm of Drummey Rosane Anderson; William Mangiante, the vice- president of J. L. Marshall & Sons, Inc.; to chairman R. Arthur Williams, and vice-chairman, Oscar W. Doane, Jr., two gentlemen who had been on the Committee from its inception. Past and present members of the Committee were at the dedication ceremonies and we wish to publicly thank the people who made it so enjoyable. There have been changes in the membership of the Cape Cod Tech committee during the year. In Brewster, Paul P. Sullivan re- placed William Ramsey, who resigned; in Chatham Phyllis S. Thompson and Henry J. Marcks replaced Joan Goodwin and William Wescott, who resigned; in Eastham Thomas Collins replaced Edith Meyers who resigned, and Thomas Galligan replaced Emery S. Loud, who passed away, and in Harwich Jesse J. Morgan replaced Fred- erick Dunford, who resigned. Jean Weinig of Truro has resigned and a replacement has not been named to date. We are pleased to report that the program is going according to plans,—some changes are going to be made in the presentation of the academic program. The exploratory program in the vocational areas for freshmen and sophomore students has been completed and the assignment of students to mutually acceptable departments will be accomplished when the students return on January 5, 1976. Our athletic program has been extremely successful and we are most proud of the sportsmanship and the accomplishments of our soccer team, our field hockey team, our cross country team, fresh- man, J.V. and varsity basketball teams, J.V. and varsity girls' basketball teams, varsity and J.V. hockey teams, and last, but not least, our cheerleaders. Congratulations to the Athletic Department, the coaches, and students for a job well done. I would like to mention each and every shop in this report, but in the interest of space I would invite you, the public, to come and see our Cape Tech facility and become acquainted with the school in operation. 43. Special thanks go to a group of people on Cape Cod called the Retired Senior Volunteer Program for the excellent job they have done in making our operation run smoother. We welcome citizen participation, and we look forward to the calendar year 1976 as a year in which Cape Cod Tech can better meet the needs of the students that are presently enrolled, the future students who will be coming in the years to come, and also to the development of an aduldt educa- tion program to meet the needs of all those people who have so pat- iently waited for the opening of Cape Cod Tech, you—the taxpayers. A special thanks go to all the citizens who made up the numerous Advisory Committees that were so helpful in the development of Cape Cod Tech, and to give you fair warning that we also need your assistance and you support now that the school is in operation, and that meetings will be called in the very near future. Thanks again for your support. Our Superintendent -Director, Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., may be reached at the school, or by calling one of the following numbers: 349-6767, 432-4500, or 776-2600. R. Arthur Williams, Chairman Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District Committee 44. REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR 1975 Iiisofar as new subdivisions were concerned, this was a somewhat quiet year for the Town of Yarmouth. Sixty-four building lots were created, thirty-seven Approval Not Required plans were endorsed, showing approximately seventy-five new lots. Although a great deal of time has been spent on proposed zoning amendments for this years' Annual Town Meeting, they have had to be postponed because of the New Zoning Act (Chapter 808), January 1, 1976. Most planners had eagerly awaited this replacement of the Enabling Act in effect since 1953, but find the new law to be ambiguous and confusing. Upon advice of the Town Counsel, we are waiting for action on the Legis- lator's "Clean-up Bill;" but in the meantime, we will study the new law in detail and make plans for the revamping of the entire Zoning By -Law to conform with this new law. Hopefully we will be able to present the same to the voters at a Special Town Meeting early this summer. Respectfully submitted, YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD Mrs. Sally Silver, Chairman C. Florence Daigle Allan H. Crosby Edward A. Johnson Alexander C. Todd, Jr. 45.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: During the past year this department planted sixty flowering and shade trees along the town roadways. Included in these plantings were, Norway Maple, Sugar Maple, Flowering Cherry, Linden and Pin Oak trees. These trees were all staked and guyed for protection. Many dead and dangerous trees along the town roads were cut down and removed. Several tree wounds caused by motor vehicles and many limbs broken off of young trees by vandals were all treated with fresh dressing paint in an attempt to save them. This department also pruned away many trees and bushes at intersec- tions and blind corners where the view was obstructed. DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT The work of the Dutch Elm Department started at the first of the year with the removal of diseased trees. This work continued throughout the year. Samples of these trees had been taken, and the results sent back from the laboratory at the University of Massachusetts showed that it was neces- sary to remove twenty-six trees. Dormant spray was applied to all town Elm trees by helicopter in April. The chemical applied was Methoxychlor. The Dormand spray is applied in an attempt to control the Elm Bark Beetle, carrier of Dutch Elm Disease.Foliage Spray was applied to the Elms during the Summer months in an effort to control the Elm Leaf Beetle. Many of the removed Elm trees have been replaced with other varieties of shade trees. INSECT PEST CONTROL The infestation of Gypsy Moth, which has been such a problem the last few years is under control now with only a few isolated areas in the town requiring spraying. There were also a few areas in the town where there were some Tent Catarpillers. All were sprayed at the proper time. The Pine Tip Moth continues to be the largest problem in this depart- ment. We are continuing our roadside spray program in an effort to control this bothersome pest. Spraying the Pine trees by helicopter would give the ideal coverage, but this is impossible, as the insecticide recommended by the State to control the Pine Tip Moth cannot be applied in this manner. Once again we are recommending that people who have Pine trees infested with Pine Tip Moth have them spayed privately if at all possible, to save as many Pine trees as we can. 50. The Pine Looper is under control now, indicating that the aerial spray program undertaken the previous year was most successful. Park and Beach areas and many roadside areas were once again sprayed for Poison Ivy and Ticks. A few Fall Webworms were found and cut from the trees and the trees were sprayed. Once again I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Highway and Police Departments for their help on several occasions, and I would also like to thank the citizens of the town for their co-operation during our aerial and roadside spray programs. Respectfully submitted, Jon L. Holmes Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent 51. REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT This was a busy year for the Park Department, and one that brought about improvements in many different areas of the Town. With the addi- tional help of people on the C.E.T.A. program a variety of projects were undertaken. Several corners in town where visibility was impaired by dense growth were cleared of underbrush and bushes cut back. Pine Grove Road was one such area that was vastly improved by this type of clearing. The Garden Club planned all of the gardens in the islands this year, and their help was greatly appreciated. The land at Pa4wood Road which was cleared for a playground has been planted in grass. Another potential playground has been cleared on Autumn Drive. Both of these areas will be developed as the need arises. Further work and equipment will be added only if the young people in the area use it and express a desire for such improvements. At Bay View Beach, after many attempts to repair, a new sewage system was built which should last many years. Paving was started on the parking lot at Sea Gull Beach following extensive grading. Due to the expense, this project will be completed in stages over the next couple of years. The Windmill and the Grist Mill have now been equipped with fire alarms connected directly to the Fire Department. The building at Long Pond was removed as it had been heavily dam- aged by vandals. Repairing it would only invite further vandalism. Beach sand was spread on both Dennis Pond Beach and Englewood Beach, thus improving those areas. The colorfully decorated trash barrels on our beaches last summer were the work of many artful students of the Mattacheese Middle School. The young people thoroughly enjoyed the project and, hopefully, will have a greater sense of pride in their town's public areas. Again last summer the receipts from beach parking tickets and stick- ers sold at the beaches were up about $6000 over the previous year. This includes an increase in week -end rates from $2 to $3. Also of interest is the fact that each year the percentage of cars with resident stickers in- creases. With the continued interest and help from the community, we are looking forward to another successful and productive year. Park Commissioners William S. Howard, Chairman David E. Wood James Pazakis Warren L. Prescott George Kanuck 52. REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE The data presented in this report follows in general the form that was used last year. However, the tabulation of requests from the various departments has been expanded and now includes an itemized break- down of the work to be accomplished. Last year's report showed only the total amounts of money requested. The Committee believes that this provides worthwhile information. The statiscal data is made up of four tables: Table 1 — Summary of Capital Requests - As explained above this tabulation now shows a breakdown by items of the money requested. Table 2 — Suggested borrowing - New loans - This table shows the amounts of money, listed by departments, for which the Committee suggests financing by borrowing. Table 3 — Debt and interest - Existing loans - Shown here are the amounts of money which must be paid for the reduction of principal and for interest on outstanding loans over each of the next five years. A summary which shows the combined totals is included. Table 4 — Estimated Expenditures - This table shows the total appropriations necessary to meet the estimated and the fixed expenditures. Where pertinent the totals have been broken down to show non -borrowing amounts; combined amounts of principal and interest on existing loans and estimated combined amounts for principal and interest payments on suggested borrowing. The Fire Department has renewed its request for funds for the construction of a new Station Building at an estimated cost of $250,000.00, starting in fiscal 1978. The Water Department has submitted an up -dated report covering proposed projects. Major items include new wells and pumping stations. test wells; cleaning and repairing existing wells; a new administration building in fiscal 1979 and continued land acquisition. All tabulations include projections through fiscal 1981. This report has omitted reference to the capital budgets of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District and the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District. The reports of the respective Districts will contain this information. C. Florence Daigle Irving C. Ellis, Secretary E. Arnold Dill Martin J. O'Malley Bradford L. Tallman Raymond O.

This year for the firsrt time we are reporting on a fiscal rather than a calendar year basis. For the period July 1974 through June 1975 the town's income from the Golf Course, after deducting golf cart rental and Massachu- setts Sales Tax payments, amounted to $197,506.29. For the same period our operating expenses amounted to $167,040.00. Although we have a very large membership we have been able, through efficient handling, to accomodate a substantial num- ber of day guests. Since the fmancial health of Cape Cod de- pends to a large extent on attracting the tourist trade we have tried very hard, and believe we have been quite successful, in full - filling this responsibility without appreciable restriction of member activity. We also believe that we have, at the same time, ful- filled our obligation to conduct this operation in the best interest of all of the Yarmouth tax payers. Despite the usual busy summer conditions our course never looked better and the smoothness of the operation was particu- larly pleasing. We would again like to express our thanks to Pro - Manager Walter Hewins and Superindtendant John Morse, and their able assistants. We all recognize that the job would have been more difficult except for an active, interested and cooperative Bass River Golf Association. Our thanks to their membership also.

REPORT OF THE DENNIS YARMOUTH INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICE The Dennis Yarmouth Information and Referral Center, con- ducted by the Council on Aging, have completed their first year in the building at 58 Long Pond Drive, South Yarmouth, rented from the Dennis Yarmouth Senior Citizens, Inc. Our classes have increased in size and number. Classes in Crewel, Needlepoint, Oil Painting, Quilting, Lampshades, Rug Hooking, Quilling, Bridge, Backgammon, Decoupage, Spanish, and a Golf Clinic have all been most favorably received. When the regular town sponsored classes were completed, the Barnstable Extension Service offered classes in Rush Seating and Sewing. These classes finished our summer season in great fashion. Along with our regular scheduled classes the men have a day for their `playing' which includes bridge, poker, cribbage, and chess. Pool is holding forth each day in the basement of the building. Women's cribbage playing has been of interest this year also, meeting on Friday afternoons. Duplicate Bridge has been very well received and each Monday afternoon finds the Center "buzzing" with some 18 or 20 tables set up for this challenging game. Square dancing takes place every Monday afternoon at the Congregational Church in Yarmouthport. The Mixed Bowling Teams are in their third year and they meet with the Singles group in a hotly contested session each Wednesday. The demands for Blue Cross, Blue Shield consultations were so great that a group of our retirees were trained by a Blue Cross repre- sentative, so weare now in a position to have consultations on a weekly basis. A Telephone Reassurance Line is maintained for the elderly living alone on a one to one basis. Older persons in this class are urged to contact the Center for assistance. Programs pertaining to subjects of interest to the elderly such as medical, legislative, town policies and others are arranged for the third Tuesday of each month. During the summer season two trips were arranged to 'Tangle- wood' in the Berkshires for our music lovers. Various interclub activities have been organized by our members. The `Singles' group with close to 100 members, meets each month for a luncheon at different Cape Restaurants. The Mixed Chorus, num- bering 60 of our members, has become very well known through- out the Cape area, making personal appearances to the number of fifty. The D. Y. Orchestra meets each Thursday afternoon for rehear- sals at the Center—they too—have played at Nursing Homes through- out the area. 63. Each Wednesday under the supervision of a retired Boston Doctor, blood pressures are taken at the Center. He is assisted by two re- tired R.N.'s. Monday afternoons finds our volunteer Legal Advisor booked solid. Financial Advice given by the Vice President of a Boston Bank is a busy schedule for alternate Thursday afternoons. Prior to the Flu Season immunization injections were given to the Yarmouth Registrants totaling some 750. Glaucoma tests were • given during the Month of April to 400 people from Dennis and Yarmouth. Audio tests for hearing defects were conducted for some 300 people during the month of May. The grass roots were layed for a "Meals on Wheels" program which hopefully will reach fruition the first part of '76. Registra- tion to date is 7400, Dennis has 2507 and Yarmouth 4893. Each month an average of 4,000 pieces of mail are handled at the Center. Miss Selma Ludwig Mr. Frederick A. Small Rev. Carlton T.

Beauregard, Executive Director 65 REPORT OF THE HARBORMASTER Board of Selectmen Gentlemen, Mooring space in Lower Bass River has been limited. Townspeople should place their moorings as early as possible to insure a favorable location. The Harbormaster Department this year will assign a numbering system to each boat owner, so that in case of emergency, the boat owner can be notified without delay. These numbers will be given after placement of the mooring by the owner and will show on the mooring buoy. Dredging of Parkers River entrance and Bass River shoal at #9 Buoy should be done this year, as accessibility to these areas is limited. New boat owners should feel free to call on their Harbormaster De- partment for assistance on handling new boats, or help in understanding the local waters. Respectfully submitted, John L. Silver, Jr. Harbormaster 66. IMPROVEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REPORT To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: The Beautification Committee, on behalf of the Town of Yarmouth, would like to express their appreciation to the Garden Club of Yarmouth for all their efforts in helping to beautify our town. We also wish to express our thanks to the Park Department for their continued support. Plans are being made with the Park Department, Garden Club and our Committee to continue the planting of the squares throughout the town in 1976, with the Bicentennial theme. Respectfully submitted, Elva M. Tallman, Chairman John L. Marchildon Howard C. Doane, Jr. Irma M. Spurr John G. Sears, 3rd REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY The Yarmouth Housing Authority applied for and received permis- sion to install a fence around the property. Due to change of tenants, two apartments were completely refur- bished. The 707 program has completely stopped and no new tenants will be added under this program. Section 8, a Federal Housing Aid Plan, is now in effect with an allotment of 50 units to be filled. Eligibility for the complex at Long Pond Plaza remains the same for persons over 65 years of age. Financial statement as of December 1975 is: Income including State Aid- $43,687.94 Expenses- 39,458.16 4,229.78 Respectfully submitted, Emanuel M. Wensley, Chairman Spear T.

Due to the high number of rescue runs the on -duty manpower of the fire department is severly taxed and due to this I recommend that four more men be added to the department as I specified in prior years' reports. I feel this is necessary to maintain the standards reached in manpower on -duty as a Task Force for fire protection prior to the rescue service becoming a division of the fire department. In order to maintain this standard up to now it has been necessary to call in off-duty men each time a rescue run was made in order to fill in the position of the engine company vacated by the firefighter used for one of the two men required for a rescue response. With a shift strength of six men instead of the present five, fire protection and rescue standards would better be maintained. In conjunction with the above it becomes necessary to consider the hiring of three civilian fire dispatchers so that firefighters are performing the duties as firefighters and rescue men most of the time instead of serving as dispatchers. For the last few months we have been using civilian dispatchers hired under the C.E.T.A. program and this has helped this situation. 70. There are two items that should be considered this year for the fire department. One is to provide each ambulance with a radio operated traffic controlling device for the traffic lights at the intersection of Route 28 and East Main Street at the Yarmouth -Hyannis line. This has the effect of giving the ambulance total use of the necessary lane of traffic to the hos- pital at its command. This has been developed in conjunction with the changes of traffic patterns recommended under the TOPICS program. Another item for consideration in the addition of a two-way radio for use only for ambulance -to -hospital communications providing a method of transmitting vital signs of a victim in the ambulance to a monitor in the hospital as well as direct doctor -to -ambulance personnel instructions and action. Part of this system is presently in use in the form of the Life Pac IV machines now in both ambulances thanks to private and various organ- izations' donations. When considering the requests for manpower and equipment for the fire department and rescue service it cannot be stressed enough how very vital these services are for the people in the town. The rescue service provides immediate aid to the sick and injured in an emergency and the subsequent treatment and care and preparation while enroute to the hospital. I wish to thank those people and organizations who so generously donated for the purposse of the two Life Pac IV units for the ambulances. As this will be my last report as Chief of the Fire Department I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank so many people and organizations who have been so kind and helpful over these past 23 years. I thank all of the departments of the town for their help. To the officers and men of the fire department, the retired members, and to the Fire Belles I can only say that for your support and efforts I shall be eternally grateful. Respectfully submitted, Dana H. Whittemore Chief of Department 71. BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT A. The provision of leadership and technical skills is one of the stated purposes of the Barnstable County Health Department. This report demon- strates the efforts of the staff to improve and update their skills, to impart these skills to health workers, and to develop or augment local program activities based on staff skills. We have agency membership in the Massachusetts Public Health Association, the Massachusetts League for Nursing, Council of Public Health Agencies, the American School Health Association and the Cape Cod Community Council. This provides us with current data on trends in public health practice, reports of health department services elsewhere, in- formation about new resources for care. The professional staff maintain individual memberships in their re- spective professional organizations and in related organizations, which provides access to a widespread source of scientific information. This is not a one-way flow of data, since some of the staff hold an office in these organizations or are members of the Boards of Directors. In these situa- tions staff contribute to others from their own experience and knowledge and they strengthen their abilities in leadership, group dynamics and public speaking. Some of these organizations are listed: American Public Health Association, New England Public Health Association, Massachusetts Public Health Association -nominating committee Massachusetts Health Officers Association -executive committee Massachusetts Environmental Health Association -Board of Directors National League for Nursing, Massachussetts League for Nursing American Nurses Association, Massachusetts Nurses Association National Association of Social Workers American Association of Hospital Social Work Directors, Massachu- setts Chapter American Dental Hygiene Association, Massachusetts Dental Hygiene Association -Treasurer, Registration Chairman, Workshop Leader American Physical Therapy Association -pediatric section American Academy of Cerebral Palsy American Occupational Therapy Association Massachusetts Association of Occupational Therapy 72. On a local level, and related to the aims and programs of the Barn- stable County Health Department, the staff are active in a more visible way: workshops for health agents, workshops for daycare operators, con- tinuing education programs and staff meetings for public health nurses (visiting nurses, town nurses, school nurses). Staff have provided exper- tise, information, coordination, and served as members of the following local organizations and committees: Cape Cod Collaborative Committee on Implementation of Chapter 766 Cape Cod Community College, Health Resource Center, Co-chair- man Advisory Committee of Community Services. Advisory Committee of Dental Hygiene Program, Advisory Commit- tee of School Nursing Cape Cod Homemaker -Home Health Aid Service, Board of Direc- tors, class instructors in orientation courses Cape Cod Medical Social Workers Cape Cod Mental Health Association, nominating committee Cape Cod National Seashore, committee on water quality/pond pol- lution Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission -Tech- nical Advisory Committee of the 208 Water Quality Study Cape Cod School Nurses Association Cape Cod Therapeutic Riding Clinic Cape -Islands Home Care -Social Services Advisory Committee Comprehensive Health Planning, Area Council -Chairman of Com- mittee on Community Health Clinics, Nominating Committee, Pri- mary Care Committee Family and Childrens Services -Professional Advisory Committee, Nominating Committee Kelley Foundation -Scholarship Committee Nurse Directors Committee of Cape Cod Office for Children -Area Policy Council Parents of Multipy Handicapped Children -advisor Parent to Parent (March of Dimes), Board of Directors Professional Advisory Committees of Home Health Agencies (visit- ing nurses, town nurses) member in Sandwich and Falmouth Nursing Association -ex -officio member in Chatham, Eastham, Harwich, Orleans, Provincetown, Wellfleet Project for Hospital Alcoholism Coordinators -Professional Advisory Committee Sandwich Community School Committee: committee on Handicapped Task Force on Special Needs for Children and Adults with Physical Handicaps United Cerebral Palsy of Cape Cod -Professional Advisory Committee And in addition to these "health-related responsibilities," staff have also been involved as concerned, civic -minded citizens on the Appeals Board, Land Committee and Chairman of the Personnel Committee in 73. Wellfleet, and on the Appeals Board in Harwich. Some staff have active- ly enrolled in educational courses for their own advancement: Bridgewater State College: -Physical Education for Exceptional Chil- dren Cape Cod Community College: -Pre-calculus, chemistry of the environment, sociology, psychology of personality, water bacteriol- ogy Harvard School of Public Health: -Management Skills for the Pro- fessional Nurse in Primary Health Care Massachusetts Maritime Academy -Advanced calculus B. This year 47 day-care centers/pre-schools/nurseries have been recom- mended for licensure to the Towns Boards of Health. For the first time in many years we have recommended revocation of a license and recommended no -renewal of a license. These actions were based on the strict safety requirements of the new State Building Code, and have led to a better understanding of the requirements, better working relationships with Day Care operators, Fire Chiefs and Building Inspectors, and greater pro- tection for young children. Both situations have been resolved and are now licensed. The public health laboratory has ben expanded in size and additional equipment obtained. Although the construction of cabinets is not complete yet, and the water still, water bath, and spectrophotometer are not operable, we have begun to do additional water samples under an agree- ment with the "Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commis- sion 208 Waste Water Study," and will be able to do more accurate and in- volved chemical studies for towns and individuals and will have space to do more salt -water samples next year. The offices of the Handicapped Childrens Clinic were moved to the southwest corner of the lower floor, the area was remodelled and redecor- ated, and a sizable storage area was made available to us. We appreciate the support and confidence placed in us by the County Commissioners and the other County and Town Departments. 1975 Department personnel included: Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S.

CAPE COD PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION IN 1975: AN ANNUAL REPORT Two hundred years ago, Cape Codders were trying to decide whether they should continue their loyalty to the King or join a rebellion to gain freedom for the Colonies. While revolutionary fervor ran high, many were reluctant to turn their backs to the mother country, remaining staunch loy- alists. Cape Cod towns continue to reserve the right to individually main- taining the Cape as a stronghold of home rule. Yet, the concept of home rule is expanding towards a regional meaning in response to growing pres- sures of Federal and State authority as well as increasing demands on lim- ited local services. A Quiet Revolution This past year, the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission has received funds for two federally funded programs of con- siderable potential impact on the Cape as a region --the 208 Wastewater Management Planning Program and the Coastal Zone Management Pro- gram. The Commission has stressed the importance of citizen participa- tion in these two programs. Other far-reaching programs are now under consideration by the State and Federal government geared to establish- ing growth policies and land use planning on the regional and local level. All of these programs are seeking a local consensus that will determine the future growth and development of Cape Cod. Cape residents and public officials have begun to sense the importance of these programs and their cumulative effects. A growing number of citizens are attending public meetings on regional issues and of- ficials have responded promptly to requests for appointments to citizen ad- visory committees. The Commission has established a series of citizen committees during the past year which are dealing effectively with the requirements of these programs and, more importantly, are beginning to approach the development of a public consensus on basic regional priorities. The growing awareness of citizens and public officials has begun a quiet revolution of regional concerns. This awareness and willingness to participate in the planning and decision making process will provide a basis for shaping the Cape's future as new programs and new demands arise. 208 Program: Developing Water Quality Guidelines Clean water for drinking and for recreation is a resource vital to the Cape's economy and quality of life. The 208 Wastewater Management 76. Planning Program on Cape Cod is designed to involve the public in deter- mining the most acceptable means of protecting our water resources. The progiain will develop guidelines for water quality management based on the limitations of our water resources and citizen priorities. Means of implementing these guidelines will also be determined by the planning - citizen participation process. The Amendments to the Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 provide for area -wide planning programs designed to broaden the approach to wastewater management problems from a local to a regional level. At the present time water quality problems are addressed on a town -by -town basis on Cape Cod. With the designation of Cape Cod as a 208 planning area last spring, towns agreed to cooperate in developing an areawide approach to the Cape's wastewater management problems. The Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission was granted $350,000 by the Environmental Protection Agency in June and the two-year plan- ning program is now in its beginning stages. A 208 Citizens Advisory Committee composed of locally appointed representatives and interested citizen groups has been formed to provide citizen ,guidance in the development of the program. Technical advice will be offered throughout the program by a Technical Advisory Com- mittee made up of specialists in the water quality field representing involved agencies at the federal, state, regional and local level, as well as from private educational and research institutions. In addition, active public participation is sought through public meetings held on a quarterly basis. There are four major aspects of the 208 program that will be conduc- ted concurrently by the program consultants and planning staff. Informa- tion and alternatives generated will be reviewed by the Citizens and Tech- nical Advisory Committees and interested citizens. The response and prior- ities of these groups will thus shape the continued work in these areas. Defining water quality problem areas and determining what areas may develop water quality problems will be one of the first major tasks of the 208 program. This data base will indicate the water quality constraints that must be considered in developing an approach to wastewater manage- ment. How we use our land on Cape Cod is particularly important to the quality of our groundwater resource and also has significant impacts on our recreational waters. Alternative land use plans geared particularly to water quality -related problems will be developed. As the 208 program defines existing and potential water quality prob- lems, it must explore how these problems should be managed. Altema- 77. tive methods of control for each of the defined problems will be presen- ted and evaluated. The major pollution problem on Cape Cod is the disposal of waste- water from houses, business and public facilities. The problems of sewage treatment facilities and of septic tank disposal will be studied intensively in the 208 program. Both structural alternatives such as constructing sew- age treatment facilities, and nonstructural alternatives, such as zoning charges will be offered for public consideration. The importance of the 208 program cannot be over -emphasized. Barnstable voters overwhelmingly demonstrated their concern for the Cape's water resources with support of the USGS Water Inventory ques- tion in the 1974 referendum. The USGS study (which is progressing as scheduled) will provide us with critical information on the dynamics of the Cape's groundwater system. The 208 program will develop a means of protecting that system and our recreational waters from pollution, These two complimentary programs will provide us with a uniquely unproved capability to prevent future water quality and quantity problems before they develop. 701 Program: Continuing a Comprehensive Approach The Commission, since its inception in 1965, has been the recipient of an annual Housing and Urban Development Comprehensive Planning grant designed to coordinate all functional planning areas such as trans- portation, land use, economic development, water resources and open space. Providing information to the public and its elected officials is one of the Commission's major community services under this program. The Commission's information efforts include: a bi-weekly Newsbriefs to CCPEDC members, County Commission- ers, Cape legislators, Selectmen, newspapers, and radio stations. news releases on Commission activities "Information Resources Guide" identifying CCPEDC data resources available to the public. Statistical data series and other information resources utilized to pro- vide information to the public on request. "Legislative Summary" outlining legislation of special importance to the Cape 78. Information papers on issues of regional concern such as historic pre- servation funds and the Federal Flood Insurance Program The Commission through its staff provides professional planning assistance on request to town officials and boards. Nearly all 15 Cape Towns have utilized this service since the program began in 1974. During this past year the Commission has: assisted the Town of Wellfleet in a complete revision of its zoning by-law developed applications for the Towns of Harwich and Mashpee which resulted in $50,000 to each town from HUD for community development projects assisted many towns in applying for funding under a number of Fed- eral and State programs. prepared amendments to town zoning, subdivision regulations, by- laws and other regulations created "Planning Reports," an information newsletter circulated to all local planning board members addressing Cape Cod planning issues To better involve citizens in planning and to further expand the: re- sources of the Commission in carrying out the 701 related activities, cit- izen advisory committees have been created in the areas of transportation planning, environment, Coastal Zone Management and economic devel- opment. The committees, comprised of individuals with special interest or expertise, many appointed by Town Selectman and Planning Boards, de- velop policy recommendations and provide guidance to the Commission. The Commission has also prepared under the guidance of a consul- tant, a public opinion survey that will soon be administered to a random- ly selected sample of Cape Cod voters. The survey will help the Commission gain insight into popular priorities on regional issues and the major areas of citizen concern. Economic Development: Finding Ways to Deal with the Problem The nation's economic ills have seriously affected the economy of Cape Cod which has traditionally suffered the problem of unemployment and, underemployment. Unemployment has remained high throughout the past year with traditional improvement during the summer tourist sea- son. Given the complexities and immensely adverse economic condidtions, the Commission concluded this year, that considerable re- gional resources must be rallied to even begin to approach the problem. "19. The Commission in conjunction with the Boards of Selectmen formed the Cape Cod Joint Committee on Economic Development, a group of action -oriented Cape Cod businessmen. The Committee which is in the early stages of development has enthusiastically begun a series of projects including: an inventory of land zoned for light industry to assist businessmen considering locating on Cape Cod an off -Cape business sub -group to determine means of attracting business to Cape Cod a transportation sub -group to find ways of insuring adequate access to maintain business on Cape Cod a communication sub -group to provide information to the public on the importance of economic development and what it can mean to the Cape Through the efforts of the Commission, Barnstable County has been designated as an economic redevelopment area making all Cape towns eligible for Economic Development Administration funds. These funds are designed to develop local community projects that will provide local jobs. The Commission continues to provide under its Economic Develop- ment Administration grant: technical assistance to town economic development committees assistance to businessmen in marketing and expansion studies economic data maintained for public use Transportation Planning: Making it Easier to Get Around The Commission is participating in a cooperative transportation plan- ning process with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation and Construction and the Department of Public Works. All Cape towns participate in the planning process through representation on the Cape Cod Joinst Transportation Committee. One of the major activities of the CCJTC and transportation planning staff this past year was pursuing means of maintaining rail freight service to Cape Cod. This service is a vital factor in the Cape's economy, ease and safety of matenal access and environment. A rail use survey was con- ducted in cooperation with the State Office of Transportation and Con - 80. struction and the information obtained was helpful in illustrating the Cape's needs to the General Court and to the Governor. In the last week of the year, the General Court passed a Transportation Bond Issue which insures the subsidy of the Cape's rail lines for two years, purchase of the rail rights of way and upgrading of the track from 10 mph currently to a 25 mph service level. Other important issues addressed by the CCJTC in 1975 were: Highways and Roads Successful restoration of four lanes on Rt. 6 in Eastham with reduced speed limit Provision for an interchange at the intersection of Freeman's Way and Rt. 6 in Brewster now under construction Extension of Old Town House Road which would provide an East- West connector between Rt. 132 in Hyannis and Rt. 134 in Dennis Public Transportation The CCPEDC and Cape -Islands Home Care Inc. worked together to prepare a successful application securing funds from the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation for transporting elderly and handicapped residents to medical facilities and doctor's offices throughout the County. The CCPEDC is presently analyzing whether increased public trans- portation is a practical possibility for Barnstable County under a grant from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. Upon approval of a feasible five-year program by the U.S. Department of Transportation, towns will become eligible for 80% Federal funding for capital equipment such as buses or vans. The program is examining the following areas: a. new or improved public transportation services with special em- phasis on the needs of elderly and handicapped b. capital equipment required to provide new and improved services c. how new and improved services could be provided d. Five -Year Financial Plan indentifying town, State and Federal shares for operating costs incurred in providing the services iden- tified in the program Coastal Zone Management: Taking part in planning The Commission receives funds from the State Office of Coastal Zone Management to provide technical planning information on Cape 81. Cod and to coordinate public participation in the development of the State management plan. A CZM Advisory Committee made up of represent- tatives from each town is providing guidance to the Commission's citizen participation efforts. The Commission has emphasized the importance of local participa- tion in the program which may encompass the entire Cape Cod area. In coordinating this participation, the Commission hopes, in particular, to encourage State responsiveness to the special needs and concerns of Cape Cod residents. A Revolution of Regionalism While each Cape Cod town has its unique problems and assets, there are considerable opportunities for sharing common experience and devel- oping unified approaches. The Cape Cod Planning and Economic Devel- opment Commission is the forum for this process and is an increasingly effective tool for community and regional problem solving. The Commis- sion and the regional concept can open new opportunities for town govern- ments and for citizens in setting the course of Cape Cod's future. 82. REPORT OF THE YARMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY The Yarmouth Housing Authority applied for and received permission to install a fence around the property. Due to change of tenants, two apartments were completely refur- bished. The 707 program has completely stopped and no new tenants will be added under this program. Section 8, a Federal Housing Aid Plan, is now in effect with an allot- ment of 50 units to be filled. Eligibility for the complex at Long Pond Plaza remains the same for persons over 65 years of age. Financial statement as of December 1975 is: Income including State Aid $43,687.94 Expenses 39 458.16 4,229.78 Respectfully submitted, Emanuel M. Wensley, Chairman Spear T. Holway Francis Richard Kenneth Allen Ann Daluz 83. REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: Conservation The Nature Trails at Dennis Pond and Horse Pong showed signs of much use and also a little misuse. New trails are being cut in the Winslow Gray area. For the enjoyment of all, please respect the Conservation rules and regulations posted in these areas. The Herring Run between Swan Lake and Long Pond had one of the best run of herring and alewives ever. It was certainly one of the longest time -wise since the reclamation of the run. The Department investigated 74 calls for Wetlands alterations under Chapter 131, Section 40. Shellfish Clams on the north side show problems due to the predator increase; especially with the return of the Green Crab. Newly designated traps are now made up and will be put to use the summer of '76 to control the Green Crab. Lost in the ice were some of our experimental stations. However, these losses are expected from time to time in sea farming. Clams else- where in town are holding their own. Planting of Clams in two areas was successful with about 80% survival. This type of planting is time con- suming and requires much man power. Quahogs in Georgetown Flats area proved to be a better year than anticipated. Here again, we ran short of our replanting program due to the increase in cost for Quahogs and the cutback of budgets. Oysters remain stable in limited supply. Scallops in Bass River proved to be one of the best years in many. The quality of the Scallops was of the best to come out of the River yet. Scallops in Lewis Bay were not plentiful enough to harvest. Also, the codium (seaweed) still hampers the harvesting. Our Biologist, again doing an excellant job in water sampling, found two major leaks of pollution. One has been corrected; the other is being re- solved in cooperation with the State. This is most important not only in shellfishing, but in all aspects of water recreation. This Department was blessed with four CETA workers this past year and was able to do a lot of projects that would never have been done. They will certainly be missed. As of April 1st, '76, I will be functioning again with a few part time Deputies. 84.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Calendar—January 1, 1975 to December 31, 1976 Fiscal—July 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975 The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the Calendar year 1975. Present number active services 10,477 Services .installed— 1975 193 Gallons of water pumped 830,321,000 Miles of Main added to system 3.44 Approximate miles of Main—System 242.07 Water Mains, by size, installed as of December 31, 1975: 6" 2158.5' 8" 9155.5' 12" 2300.0' 16" 4200.0' 18,168.0' + 31 hydrants During Calendar year 1975, the Water Department or its agents in- stalled 193 new services. Revenue for the fiscal year 1975 was $579,616.66, an increase of $7,551.15 over 1974. The total gallonage pumped for the calendar year 1975 was up 5 million gallons. The small increase was due in a large part to the water restrictions that were in force for most of the summer. The peak pumping day for the year was August 2nd when 6,039,000 gallons were pumped. It must be remembered that this figure was pumped even though there were restrictions in effect at this time. The restrictions were placed in effect on 1 July 1975 by the Board of Water Commissioners on the advice and counsel of the State Department of Public Health. The Water Department, Massachusetts Department of Public Health and our Engineers (Whitman & Howard) have been working continuously since 1 July 1975 to have the problem corrected so that the wellfield will be back in use by the Summer of 1976. Completion of work authorized by the Board of Water Commissioners for the access road, water main and power line to the well site at #14, on the west side of Higgins Crowell Road, was completed in the Spring of 1975, and the well was able to be pumped during the critical months of July and August this past summer. During the Summer of 1976, con- struction of the station and installation of the pumping equipment will take place. Work was also completed on the 16" water main on Summer Street 86. from Willow Street to the Prospect Hill Standpipe. Erection of the 4 million gallon storage facility was completed during December 1975. All that remains to be done before the tank can be put into service, is final testing and painting. This will take place during the Spring of 1976. The preliminary engineering work and the obtaining of the necessary road crossing permits as well as easements for the installation of water mains to reinforce the existing distribution system in the North East portion of Town, has been completed and the awarding of contracts, and the starting of this work is expected during February or March of 1976. In addition to the pumping station work for Well #14 off Higgins Crowell Road, work on the two gravel packed wells, two pumping stations and pumping equipments, access road and water mains for sites #15 and #16 located in the Old Crosby Sand Pit off North Dennis Road have gone to bid, and work is expected to start during the late winter or early Spring of this year. The Department's continuing program of maintenance and repairs to the system continued this year. Theoperation and checking of all hydrants and gate valves in the system was continued, and repairs to any hydrants or valves were made as needed. Also, in certain sections of Town, where little or no control over the distribution system existed, new gate valves were cut in to afford the Department control over these . sections. The Department's outlook on the future is concerned with having adequate wells and pumping facilities to supply the Town's ever-increas- ing demand for water, and how best the Department can meet these demands. At the 1976 Town Meeting, the Department will be seeking funds to continue test -well work to locate and conduct pumping tests required before the Department of Environmental Engineering will approve well sites, and for funds to construct additional gravel packed wells and pumping stations. Through the use of our computer, our con- sulting engineers (Whitman & Howard) have located points in the system where the water mains should be replaced or strengthened. Plans are being formulated to do this work over the next three or four years. Also, in this year's warrant, the Department has made requests for monies to replace the flow meters at the three oldest pumping stations in the system, for lighting and security fencing as recommended by the Yarmouth Police Department, and for monies to relocate the existing waste disposal area at the Main Station located at 102 Union Street to meet the Department of Environmental Engineering's requirements for waste disposal. 87. The Board of Water Commissioners again wish to thank all those who have given their time and talent in support of the Department's effort to supply water to the Town of Yarmouth. A special thanks to those people who helped the Department during the water -restriction portion . of last Summer by observing the restrictions on water use. Roger G.

TOWN OF YARMOUTH SPECIAL TOWN MEETING The Special Town Meeting of the Town of Yarmouth convened in the Mattacheese Middle School, Higgins Crowell Road, West Yarmouth, on Thursday, February 27, 1975 at 7:45 o'clock P.M., Mr. Thomas N. George, Moderator, presiding. Officials were introduced by the Moderator, Bradford L. Tallman, Howard W. Marchant and Charles W. Eager, Board of Selectmen and James MvVey, Robert W. Saben, Jr., Richard Ernest, Jr., members of the School Committee and Charles PL Liberty, Superintendent -Principal of Dennis Yarmouth High School; Town Counsel representative William F. Butler. The Warrant was read by the Moderator with the exception of the three-part article. Article #1: To see if the Town will vote: A. To adopt the following resolution: RESOLVED, That it is the consensus of the Town that the present struc- ture of the public school system in the town, namely, a local school com- mittee having charge of the grades from kindergarten through eight, and a regional district school committee having charge of the grades from nine through twelve, be retained; And further, that the town believes that the educational process in the public schools could be improved by greater co-operation and coordina- tion among the Dennis and Yarmouth School Committees and the regional district school committee; Now, therefore, the town expresses its desire that said committees confer, study, propose, and implement a policy to assure a coordinated and unified curriculum for the grades from kindergarten through twelve of the public schools.

Dorothy P.

At this time we have 10,997 regis- tered voters in the town of Yarmouth, of a population of 17,427. This year wer had 5140 votes cast at election time, which is sur- prising for the number of voters in the Town. We utilized our new voting machines for the third time in April; this systsem appears to be working much better than the old, inasmuch as the results of the election were tallied in a little more than an hour. We have held eight (8) meetings this year, reviewing our new updated election laws and gathering information for our new voting lists, which now are computerized. We feel that this new voting list set-up by streets makes it quicker and easier for you, the voter, and for us as checkers at Town Meeting. We are pleased to note more young people are interested in the voting process. For those who are new -comers to Yarmouth, and have not regis- tered to vote and wish to do so, may register at special registra- tion sessions as advertised at appropriate times or at any time during office hours at the Town Clerk's office.

B. Buildings, structures and land uses in existence on the effective date of these provisions are not subject to these off- street parking requirements and may be rebuilt, altered or repaired, but not enlarged or changed in use, without becoming subject to these requirements. 151. C. In applying for building or occupancy permits, the applicant must demonstrate that the minimum parking requirements set forth below will be met for the new demand without counting existing parking. D. The minimums of Sec. 18.11 (2) may be reduced on special permit for an exception from the Board of Appeals, upon the Board's determination that special circumstances render a lesser provision adequate for all parking needs. Examples of special circumstances include: 1. (1) Use of common parking lot for different uses having peak de- mands occurring at different times: (2) Age or other characteristics of occupants which reduce their auto usage; (3) Peculiarities of use which render usual measurements of demand invalid. 2.

McGill Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from January 1, 1973 to October 15, 1974, and report thereon as follows: The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several de- partments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records of the accounting officer and treasurer. The books and accounts in the office of the accounting officer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's books and with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, while the payments, as entered, were checked with the treasurer's books and with the treasury warrants authorizing the dis- bursement of town funds. The appropriations, transfers, and loan authori- zations were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund. The general and appropriation ledger accounts were analyzed, the many necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on October 15, 1974 was prepared and is appended to this report. The balance sheet shows an overdraft in the water extension and im- provements account amounting to $164,956.52, contrary to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws, which could have been avoided if the treasurer had issued a loan prior to the expenditure of these funds. Considerable time was spent in order to properly adjust the accounting officer's ledger accounts, and it is recommended that a monthly trial bal- ance be taken of the ledger accounts, and, further, that statements showing the conditions of appropriations be furnished all department heads at the close of each month. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, with other sources from which the town received money, and with the accounting officer's books. The payments were compared with the warrants approved by the selectmen and with the accounting officer's books. The cash balance on October 15, 1974 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements received from the banks in which town funds are deposited. 182. The Federal Revenue Sharing Funds were examined and checked. The funds received from the Federal Government were listed, and the pay- ments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the dis- bursement of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and with the accounting officer's records. The cash balance on October 15, 1974 was proved by ex- amination of the savings bank account. As of the audit date October 15, 1974, the sum of $256,974.87 was due to the Federal Revenue Sharing Cash Account from the general cash account. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were proved with the accounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file. The outstanding coupons on October 15, 1974 were listed and recon- ciled with the balance in the bond and coupon account as shown by a state- ment received from the bank of deposit. The records of payroll deductions during the period of the audit were examined and checked. The deductions were proved and the payments to the proper agencies were verified. It was noted that receipts from payroll deductions were not entered in the cash book, the payments to the various agencies being made directly from payroll vouchers. It is recommended that entries be made in the cash receipts book recording the aggregates of the various types of deductions, and that the payments to the proper agencies be included on the treasury warrants, so that the accounting officer's ledger will show all the financial transactions as well as all cash balances. The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved, withdrawals were verified, and all balances were reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger accounts. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The transfers and disclaimers to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the foreclosures were verified, the tax titles redeemed were compared with the receipts as recor- ded in the town treasurer's books, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The- tax and excise accounts outstanding January 1, 1973, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, as shown by the treasurer's cash book, the abatements, as entered, were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accounting officer's ledger. 183. The records of water and departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the recorded col- lections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were checked with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling ledger accounts. Further verification of the outstanding tax, excise, departmental and water accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The collector's cash balance on October 15, 1974, including the petty cash advance, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank of deposit. Attention is called to the fact that taxes and excise are outstanding back to 1969, and it is recommended that action be taken to effect a complete settlement of all delinquent accounts. Considerable difficulty was encountered in order to properly reconcile the accounts of the town treasurer and the town collector, which materially added to the time consumed in making the audit. The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, and from miscellaneous charges, were verified and compared with the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game, and the cash balance on October 15, 1974 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office. It was voted at the annual town meetings that the town clerk should pay into the town treasury all fees collected by virtue of his office. How- ever, attention is directed to the balance sheet, which shows that town clerk's miscellaneous fees are due from the former town clerk, Gerald F. Guilfoyle, Jr., in the account of $3,606.50, and from the temporary town clerk, Dorothy P. Wildey, in the amount of $1,581.50. Although these miscellaneous fees were paid into the town treasury, as voted at the annual town meetings, they were at a later date reimbursed to the former and temporary town clerks. The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, as well as by the police and fire departments, were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified. The surety bonds on file for the several town officials required by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form. The records of departmental cash collections of the sealer of weights and measures and of the municipal golf course, as well as of the school, park, and cemetery departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The cash books were added, the payments to the treasurer were checked with the 184. treasurer's recorded receipts, and the cash balances, including petty cash advances, were verified. It is recommended that the municipal golf course and the school lunch departments deposit receipts directly to the treasurer's bank account, as there is no statutory authority for such departments to establish an account to serve as a depository for collections prior to a turnover to the town treasurer. In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report, tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax possession, departmental, and water accounts, together with schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.

Baker School 29 years Mr. Kenneth Creighton.... Mattacheese Middle School 6 years Mrs. Esther Murchison .... South Yarmouth Elementary 16 years Mrs. Esther Adams Marguerite E. Small School 25 years COMMITTEE REPORT —1975 February 27, 1975, will be remembered as the most significant date since the District was established in 1955, because it was on that date that the residents of the member towns voted in special town meetings to expand the scope of the District. An Amended Agreement, providing that the District would assume jurisdiction over all grades from kindergarten to grade twelve in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1975, was accepted at these special town meetings. There would be ten members elected to the Regional School Committee in the annual Town Elections in 1976, with the number of members from each town to be determined by the ratio which each town's population would bear to the total population of the two towns, according to state census figures certified on or before January 1, 1976. Following the acceptance of the amended agreement, the members of the Regional School Committee and the members of the Dennis and Yarmouth School Committees–eighteen in all—would constitute an Interim Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School Committee. At the election of officers held on March 25, the following slate was voted: Elizabeth A. Eager, Chairperson Richard Ernst, Jr., Vice Chairman Elinor E. Slade, Secretary Margaret M. Mathews, Treasurer 242 On May 20, the date of the reorganizational meeting, the same officers were chosen to serve until the Annual District Meeting in 1976. It was agreed that one of the most important duties of the Interim Committee would be the selection of a District Superintendent. a Subcommittee, with Mrs. Slade as Chairperson, began an extensive search for qualified candidates. It was further decided that, because of the greatly -increased fiscal burdens resulting from the enlarged District, a Comptroller should be sought. In June, the Committee—by unanimous vote—appointed Joseph E. Killory to be the first Superintendent of the fully -regionalized district, in which capacity he has shown himself to be a true educational leader. Also, in June, the Committee voted unanimously to hire James B. Johnston as Comptroller, a position in which he has displayed much competence. The loss, through resignation, of Dean B. Yount, after ten years of dedicated service as a member and officer of the District Committee and Chairman of the Citizens' Task Force, was officially recognized at Commencement exercises. Phebe Carey was appointed to fill this vacancy and Edward Hayes became the appointed member to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Russell Wilkins. As Trustees of the Scholarship Fund, we have been gratified to receive donations and loan repayments amounting to nearly $7,300.00 and have granted awards to deserving graduates in the amount of $3,900.00, while continuing to make disbursements on previously - awarded scholarships. During 1975, our investment gains through Certificates of Deposit and savings have totaled $42,900.00. The reorganizational process continues, as does the concentration on space needs. The Committee is most appreciative of the enthusiasm of townspeople who have voluntarily accepted various responsibilities. Thus, is the spirit of the "community and the school working together for the good of the child" being manifested. Elizabeth A. Eager, Chairperson 243 REPORT OF JOSEPH E. KILLORY, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS It is with pleasure and optimism that we present to you the first annual report of the K-12 Regional School District. The melding of three separate, related school districts into a single cohesive one has required considerable effort, compromise, dedication, and work by both the School Committee and staff. It is pleasing to note that, with rare exceptions, debate and discussion center on how best to make regionalization achieve its full potential rather than whether or not it should have happened. Significant steps have been taken in (1) the coordination of curricula which draw_upon the best of each system; (2) the development of single contracts with each of our employee groups which will equalize salaries and benefits while_ minimizing jealousies, divisiveness, and inconsistencies; and (3) the establishment of single cost accounting, budgeting, and payroll systems which will make the actual cost of our educational program subject to accurate, businesslike measurement and analysis. Almost all disbursements and receipts will now flow through one office rather than an office and two Town Halls. Our primary responsibility must be to improve both the intellectual and attitudinal strengths and skills of our children and youth in order that they may function successfully in a complex society. In addition, we can, for very little extra cost, provide ways to improve the quality of life for all citizens through maximum use of our resources. To this end we shall be increasing the opportunities for adults to take courses for credit and/or the pleasure of learning and for citizens of all ages to have more recreational opportunities in our several communities. As we extend the schools to the community, we shall expand the opportunity for the community to participate in volunteer programs which will help our students and reward the volunteer through a sense of accomplishment. We are grateful to the many who have helped us this year. We all know that good education requires more than good buildings, but they are necessary and it is my responsibility to keep you informed of their status. The High School has a rated capacity of 1,100 and presently houses 1,450 with double sessions. Our present enrollment projections show about 1,700 students in 1982 and more after that. Because of the uncertainties involved in long-range pre- dictions, the School Committee and administration are advocating an addition to the High School which will increase the capacity only to 1,700 at this time. By the time this is distributed, we shall have been given direction by special Town Meetings in each community. The Middle Schools are sufficiently large to handle the grades 6-8 enrollments for the foreseeable future. 244. The Elementary Schools in Yarmouth have sufficient capacity to handle our projected enrollments. This is not the case in Dennis where we can "hold the line" by placing some fifth grade students in Wixon from 1977-1980 when we shall need another solution. All of the buildings are either relatively new or in quite good repair except Simpkins, which is more attractive now because of fresh paint, but in need of considerable renovation if we are to properly protect our investment in it. I should like to close on a personal note by saying that I am happy that I decided to take the position, am convinced that we can develop creative programs and still be frugal, and am gtateful to the School Committee and staff for their continuingECrco rgt c, rI help. February 12, 1976 70WN CLEKK CLERK& TREASURER (S0.) YAR4MU T U, MASS. REPORT OF THOMAS M. LA GRASTA, COORDINATOR, SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES In September 1974 Chapter 766 was enacted throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Act requires local school districts to identify, evaluate, and provide a publicly supported education for all students in need of special education services from the ages of three to twenty-one. Students who require these services are unable to progress in the school program without additional specialized training as a result of a physical disability, emotional problems, intellectual handicaps, visual handicaps, speech impairment, hearing handicaps, or a specific learning disability. Programs range from specific small group instruction by a trained special education teacher to placement within a residential school for students who cannot be provided special education services within the public school setting. The following describes how the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District has implemented Chapter 766. Each year school systems are mandated to conduct a screening program for pre-school children to identify those children who are in need of special education services. At the beginning of the school year, all children in Kindergarten are evaluated by the special education and classroom teachers, the speech therapist and the school nurse. In addition, at the conclusion of the Kindergarten year, all of the children are reevaluated in preparation for the first grade. Any parent of a three or four year old child who suspects that their child requires special education services may request an evaluation by the school staff by contacting the Coordinator of Special Education. 24.5. Chapter 766 requires school systems to develop an evaluation team to identify students referred for special education services. At each school within the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District, a Diagnostic Team has been established which is comprised of the building principal, special needs counselor, special education and classroom teachers, the school nurse, the school doctor, speech therapist, Coordinator of Special Education, and parent. Before the student can be evaluated by the Diagnostic Team, the parent must be informed and give consent for the evaluation to be undertaken. Upon the completion of the evaluation, the Diagnostic Team meets to determine if the student is in need of special education services and, if so, which special education program either within or outside of the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District can best meet the needs of the student. Before the student can receive special education services, the parent must give approval of the program. Special education teachers have been assigned to each school within the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. In addition, there are special education programs located at the Marguerite E. Small Elementary School, the Mattacheese Middle School and the Administration Center, which serve children throughout the District. Four special needs counselors and three speech therapists divide their time at each of the schools. For those students who require more specialized education, the District is fortunate to have the resources of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School and the Cape Cod Collaborative, which provide special education programs on a regionalized basis. During the first year of Chapter 766, special education services were provided to six hundred (600) students by the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. Almosi all of these students were provided special education services within the public schools. The benefits and gains that these students receive from special education services during the school years will result in more productive and contributing members of society. February 12, 1976 246. REPORT OF CURRICULUM SUPPERVISORS DANIEL NICHOLSON Regional Supervisor of Mathematics THERESE J. D'ABRE Regional Supervisor of Communicative Arts Regional supervision of the curriculum areas from Kindergarten through Grade Twelve was established in September 1975. Since that time, the curriculum supervisors have been involved in a many faceted program for developing and implementing curricula in these two basic skills areas. A vital component of the program has been the establishment of lines of communication for principals and teachers in Dennis and Yarmouth. These lines allow for the discussion of educational objectives for particular grades and provide a forum forthe development of a sequence of instruction in mathematics and communicative arts. Attempts to bring about an equalization of materials and services and to provide a critical review of the new curricula has led to the establishment of a system of regional testing of basic skills in Grades One through Eight. These tests are designed by teachers under the direction of the curriculum supervisors and represent a concerted effort to upgrade student achievement by providing a continual check of strengths and weaknesses in the core learning process. The tests also provide information for use by supervisors and teachers, who meet regularly on a regional basis, to keep the existing curricula viable by making necessary additions or deletions. Attention to basic skills areas in all the grades has brought about an interest in using methods and materials which directly involve our young people in learning. The evaluation of personnel, materials, and techniques has been ongoing. The curriculum supervisors have worked closely with the principals and secondary department heads in evaluating staff. Teacher conferences follow all evaluation sessions and provide the teachers with suggestions for possible improvement in instruction. When needed, the supervisors become personally involved with individual children during demonstration lessons and diagnostic work. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction provides consultant services to teachers and principals. A degree of intra- as well as inter -school sharing of ideas and resources has begun. The opening of communication between schools is making a reality of the concept of regionalization. February 12, 1976 247. REPORT OF CHARLES P. LIBERTY, PRINCIPAL, DENNIS-YARMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL The year 1975 has witnessed a continuation of the exemplary effort by the student body and staff to successfully function under the less than ideal conditions of double sessions. More importantly, improvements in student achievement and services available to students must be noted. Our Guidance Department has established a resource area with a part-time resource person available to provide college admission materials plus career awareness information for all students. This has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of students interested and applying to institutions of higher learning. In addition, the entire school curriculum has been restructured into Honors, Standard and Basic courses to allow students improved placement within the different subject areas. The English Department, in line with the aforementioned reorganization, has returned to seventy percent (70%) required courses to insure that the basic skills have been mastered to the individual student's ability and the Foreign Language Department has added Latin to the list of languages available to the student body. Coupled with this renewed academic interest is a substantial increase in the number of volumes available in our Central Libraryand various academic resource centers. Generally, I feel we should all be very pleased with the excellent attendance record of our students which rates as one of the best in this area, the increased circulation of our school newspaper, The Bowsprit, and the outstanding achievements of our athletic teams, which include two State Champions, Golf and Cross -Country. The normal withdrawal from participation in activities observed in most schools which have been placed on double sessions has not occurred at your High School. In conclusion, may I state that our space needs at the High School continue to be a major obstacle that must be alleviated as soon as possible. I wish to thank the new Regional School Committee, our new Superintendent, Mr. Joseph E. Killory, our new Comptroller, Mr. James B. Johnston, the people of the community, the parents, and most of all, the students for their continued interest and support in our school during the last year. My position continues to be a truly rewarding one. February 12, 1976 248. Name Charles P. Liberty Richard B. Colby J. David Crawford Merrill D. Wilson Joseph W. Aldridge, Jr. Nancy M.

DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOLARSHIP FUND TRUSTEES Donations and loan repayments since graduation, 1974, have in- creased the Scholarship Fund by nearly $3,000.00 Such civic participation, particularly during a period of straitened circumstances, has been most sincerely appreciated. The Trustees have thus been enabled to continue the rewarding privilege of disbursing funds amounting to $3,400.00 to students and to colleges during the past year. Our benefactors include: The Castonguay Memorial, Yarmouth Trust Commissioners, The Friday Club, William P. Frost Memorial, Howard Barnes Memorial, Peter Maxtone-Graham Memorial and the Sharon Callachan Fund. In addition to the outright awards given to the valedictorian and salutatorian of the graduating class, other students were presented a total of $2,400.00 at the Awards Night ceremony in 1974. These awards were made possible only through the kindness of thoughtful donors. Once again, the Trustees express deep appreciation to those who have contributed so generously to the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District Scholarship Fund — in order that deserving students might be assisted in their pursuit of higher education.

REPORT OF GARY A. GETCHELL, PRINCIPAL, MATTACHEESE MIDDLE SCHOOL The Mattacheese Middle School is continuing to provide for the intellectual, physical, and social needs of the 855 emerging adolescents who pass through its doors each day. This number represents an increase of 27 pupils over the October 1, 1974 figures. Mattacheese operates under a modified team -teaching "school - within -a -school" concept. Individual faculty members are divided into six academic teams (2 sixth, 2 seventh, and 2 eighth grade) and one related arts team. Academic teams consist of five educators (one each in reading, English, mathematics, social studies, and science) together with, on the seventh and eighth grade levels, the shared services of a French or Spanish instructor. Pupil -wise, one-half of each grade is matched with one academic team. The related arts team is made up of teachers in the following areas: art, crafts, music (2), industrial arts (2), home economics (2), library science, and physical education (4). Pupils meet each academic teacher once daily and spend a double period each day in one related arts class. Team -teaching, as it functions at Mattacheese, focuses itself totally upon the pupils. The philosophy is that the more knowledge a team of teachers can amass about an individual student's needs, the better the educational plan can be to meet those needs. Variable pupil grouping becomes easy within this framework. Pupil -teacher ratio may extend from one-to-one to 150 -to -one dependent upon the needs of the pupil and the content area under study. Grouping is a changing, dynamic activity planned to create for each student the optimum learning atmosphere. Varied groupings are possible from subject to subject according to readiness, maturity, skills, interest, achievement, and need. The end of the regular school day usually finds upwards of 150 pupils engaged in co -curricular activities until 4:26 p.m. and beyond. Tennis, soccer, field hockey, flag football, football, basketball, softball, baseball, track and field, and gymnastics provide for the athletic needs of the student body while our highly successful Mattacheese Players allow our budding thespians an opportunity for other types of self-expression in the theater arts.

GRIFFITH, PRINCIPAL, NATHANIEL H. WIXON MIDDLE SCHOOL Besides a basic education, the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School strives to offer experiences in the fine arts, practical arts, athletics, and a wide variety of school activities. One such experience enjoyed by many participants was the splendid performance of the musical Oliver. The two performances, played to S.R.O. audiences, were a tribute to both students and teachers at our school. The class of 1975 had a busy May and June preparing forms for Dennis -Yarmouth High School and the new Cape Cod Regional Technical School. Thirty-two eighth graders applied for and were accepted to the Cape Cod Regional Technical School after consultations with teachers, guidance counselor, parents and representatives of the new school. The closing of school in June also saw the completion of two new programs at the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School, the interdisciplinary team -teaching program in grade six and SAIL, our student assistance and independent learning program in grades seven and eight. All seventh and eighth grade students participated in the SAIL program. These courses varied from remediation and enrichment in the academics to special interest courses such as Vocational Awareness, which proved to be very successful, dramatics, arts, and chorus. In its second year of operation, the sixth grade team -teaching program has made substantial progress toward its many goals. Parent- Teacher interaction has been increased by adding an orientation program to. its regular first report card, parent conference. This interaction is also increased by use of contracts and check off sheets. These instruments inform parents of the student's work and progress. Meeting the academic needs of students has been achieved by supplementing manufactured materials with teacher prepared materials. The sixth grade team has individualized instruction by offering multi -sensory materials and materials on several reading levels. With the opening of school in September we welcomed a new Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Joseph Killory. Mr Killory came to us with an extensive background in public school education at both the community and State level. Regionalization, now firmly established, brought much activity in the direction of blending the educational practices and procedures of both communities. Under the guidance and direction of our new Superintendent this reorganization is proceeding in a positive manner. In the fall the Nathaniel H. Wixon Middle School took a more active role in the use of community volunteers. Under the direction of Mrs. Judith Dubin, Wixon School volunteer coordinator, community volunteers have been assigned to various academic areas. Their attendance and interest has been most encouraging. 266. Name William F. Griffith Michael J.

CLERICAL STAFF Mrs. Shirley Shea Mrs. Dolores Collette Mrs. Lorraine Hamilton Mrs. Kathleen Norton Mrs. Barbara Perry Secretary Teacher Aide Teacher Aide Library Aide Teacher Aide REPORT OF WALTER S. MORLEY, PRINCIPAL, EZRA H. BAKER SCHOOL Considering the conditions under which we are forced to operate, I am pleased to report that the educational programs of the Ezra H. Baker School are holding at a notable level of efficiency. This is more a tribute to the constancy of the school staff than to the concern of the majority of the citizens of Dennis. For the overcrowding in the Ezra H. Baker School has not gone away as people hoped it would. It is very much with us and increasing every year. On October 1, 1972, the school's enrollment was 771; on October 1, 1975, it was 854. This surpasses the 831 pupils reported on October 1, 1968, the last year this school housed all pupils, kindergarten through grade eight. Only our ability to place the Kindergarten in the Wixon School, whatever the shortcomings of that arrangement, has permitted us to carry on within present buildings. However, with its population increasing by a classroom every year, it is merely a matter of time before the school reaches the limit of its remarkable elasticity. I trust that the School Committee is aware of this condition and that it plans proper corrective action before something snaps. Meanwhile, by extending our Title I schedule to operate year round, it has become possible to offer remedial instruction in reading and arithmetic to children who need it but who do not qualify for special services under Chapter 766. When we are able to provide similar accommodations for the gifted children in our midst, we shall have completed the circle of our responsibility, and every child will be receiving the attention he deserves. I wish at this time to congratulate Mrs. Mae Freeman on the completion of her professional career and to commend her for her long service to the children of Dennis. I am sure that the many children who were members of her classes since 1946 join me in wishing Mrs. Freeman health and happiness in her retirement. Best wishes to you, too, Mr. Killory, for success and happiness and longevity as our Superintendent of Schools. February 12, 1976 269. Teacher Walter S.

CROSS, PRINCIPAL, JOHN SIMPKINS SCHOOL On September 1, 1975, I became Principal of the John Simpkins School. I am extremely pleased to serve the community in this position. The John Simpkins School, in spite of its age and physical limitations, has a faculty which possess a real feeling of spirit. This faculty dedicates itself exclusively toward making the educational experiences of its student body both rich and rewarding. The John Simpkins building is part of the South Yarmouth School Complex and houses 446 students, grades 3,4 and 5. The philosophy, I believe, strives to help every child discover the excitement and wonder of learning. To accomplish this goal, I have developed alternative environments in programming and grouping in order to meet individual needs of all of my students. Team teaching is the organization used to provide an educational program for the student body. Teams vary in size. Two teams in Grade 3 are responsible for fifty-five students. Two teams of four teachers in Grades 4 and 5 are responsible for one hundred and ten students. The teams work and plan together for the total development of all the student programs. The interaction of teacher and student helps develop many new exciting ideas. Two alternatives to the learning teams have been developed to further provide for flexibility in student learning styles. These two programs are the Family and the Self-Contained Class. The Family is a heterogenous group of third and fourth graders located in one large area, the auditorium. The programs for these students include cross grading for creative arts and social skills. The academic programs are segregated and no cross grading exists. This group of students and teachers work together to plan all programs. This Family group is an extremely active one in which the students are highly motivated. The second alternative program is the Self-Contained Class. This class was developed for the average and above average student that was not functioning in the large group programs. The emphasis in this class is structure, with students spending the major portion of their day with one teacher and group of students. Their program gives them flexibility to move out of this grouping if the teacher, core, and parents judge the student ready. Two programs which have been very positive as extensions of the academic disciplines are the "Mini-Farm" which saw a sheep lamb in January, and the "Seashore Park" which takes grade 5 students away from school for a five day, four night environment experience with their class and teachers. The programs in John Simpkins have been developed to meet the goals of the curriculum. Teachers provide for the individual needs of all \students within our school. The doors are always open at John Simpkins School. Parents and visitors are WELCOME. 273. REPORT OF CHARLES T. ORLOFF, PRINCIPAL, MARGUERITE E. SMALL SCHOOL Filing an annual report is a requirement of every Principal in the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional School District. It is also an important opportunity to communicate with the public, and at the Margurite E. Small School, this objective is paramount. For us, communication begins with children, for in Yarmouth as elsewhere, children cry out physically and emotionally to be heard. They offer us their feelings and wants, they lay before us their hopes and aspirations, they voice their fears and convictions. Our goal is to listen intently. Listening to, and helping to educate over six hundred boys and girls in an atmosphere of intimacy and closeness, is a difficult challenge. We hope that the title of our parent newsletter, Small World, will continually remind us of this ultimate goal. The school organization, however, is complex. At present, we employ a teaching staff of thirty-eight. Beyond the fundamental classroom program, we offer separate programs in art, music, instrumental music, and physical education. For children with special needs, supportive help is available at all levels. Our school psychologist coordinates the program and, depending on the recommendations, specific help is available in speech therapy, learning disabilities, and adjustment counseling. In addition, this winter, we have the services of a Title I teacher and aide available for children needing remediation in math and reading. The Marguerite E. Small School is financed at public expense with the expectation that certain goals and objectives will be achieved. While accepting the responsibility for social, emotional, and physical development of children, our primary goal must focus on intellectual development. Based on nationally standardized tests, our children continue to rank in the upper third of the country. Academic excellence begins with consistency and follow-through. The School Committee's decision to redistrict the Town of Yarmouth, therefore adding a fifth grade to the Small School, has greatly enhanced the coordination of our curriculum. Consistent follow-through with individualized programs can now be achieved and the transition from elementary to middle school should offer far fewer problems than in the past. Taking advantage of a building designed to promote teacher and student interaction, we have continued to develop the concept of team -teaching. Using newly designed criteria for grouping, children of all ability levels have been placed in each homeroom. Teachers working in teams can then divide their youngsters into specific skill groups for more meaningful instruction. The program in the schools must always be a reasonably accurate reflection of what the community wants, and is willing to supply for its young people. We are grateful for the consistent support that we have received. 274. MARGUERITE E. SMALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Teacher College Position Year Appointed Charles T. Orloff Boston University — B.S. in Ed.

CLARKE, JR., PRINCIPAL SOUTH YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL It is a pleasure to submit my report for the South Yarmouth Elementary School. At South Yarmouth we are presently housing: Kindergarten, 130; Grade 1, 145; Grade 2, 145; Total 420 students. Although it was a difficult change for some, the redistricting of the Town provided an educational balance in both the John Simpkins and Marguerite Small Schools, giving both a complete elementary unit of Grades 3, 4 and 5. It also helped to relieve some of our overcrowding and, at the same time, gave us the opportunity to streamline our bus routes. It is important to point out that at this time of a return to basic education and more conservative methods, we don't eliminate all of the good things that we have accomplished. Education tends to go in a circle and it seems to me that we have just completed a cycle. Modern math is a good example. It was developed by mathematicians to stimulate the minds of young people who had a mathematical sense. While the "new" math makes learning more exciting, we all still need traditional math skills to live in this world. Now we should be working on a blending of the two approaches—not saying one is better than the other, but taking the best from both. We also have been able to use team -teaching, family grouping, volunteers, open education and learning centers as different ap- proaches to problems in education. I hope we don't close our eyes to the advantages for some children to these less conventional types of education. We must also strive to teach children in large groups, small groups, and one-to-one, when the need is present. In looking ahead, it is often good to stop and look back as well. I would like to share with you my thoughts as printed in our Parents' Council newsletter "Scrimshaw II" of November 1975: "It is hard to believe that two hundred years ago there was no United States of America! This should be a year of great celebration—a time when we should study in detail the events that led to the birth of this great country. It can be a year of opportunity: ...to reaffirm our own commitment to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These documents are as meaningful today as when they were written. ...to look again at the leaders of those days, two hundred year ago—men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams who led the fight for independence. ...to study the words these men used ana what they mean to us today. 277. ...to education in general and the public school in particular, to assume the responsibility to educate citizens who are willing to take up the burden of a free and democratic society as the foundation of our being. ...to make our school an integral part of the community and to make the community a part of the school. Together we can achieve the common goals that we have from the children of Yarmouth." I would like to thank the teaching staff and the secretarial, cafeteria, and custodial staffs, who with the assistance of countless community helpers, have made this a successful year.
