Im ANNUAL REPORTS of the im TOWN OFFICERS amof the Town of go ORLEANS NO Im so Doi NEI 0 For the Year Ending December 31, 1968 INQUIRER AND MIRROR, INC. NANTUCKET, MASS. iii Memoriam - I After 22 years of public service, during which he rolled up an enviable record of ,a;_ accomplishment for the Town of Orleans, Chairman of Selectmen Arthur Rupert Finlay, ` Sr. died on June 9, 1968, at the age of 74. He moved to Orleans originally in 1926, ,,�, and spent the next 14 years as a commercial . I., fisherman, leaving this occupation to become 1 the field representative of the Cape Cod _. (-hamher of Commerce. During the War, Mr. he Hingham Shipyard as and then returned to its long public career as the combined posts of q and member of the and Welfare an unusual D work for the Forbes y as a Pittman shorthand this skill as a tool, he ;ame best known to the is publication, from which of affairs. entually found his unique ,hen, in 1954, he became e Board of Assessors, he i the help of professionals. and he went far toward State, in balance, equity, of state law. )rleans prompted him to campaign for zoning, for the acquisition of Nauset Beach and the large water- shed properties of the Town, and for such other causes and changes as he was convinced would serve Orleans best. In an area where citizens have little difficulty getting face to face with their town officials, Arthur Finlay made almost a cult of availability. Anyone could see him, and he would listen to anyone. But he not only listened, he talked. Completely unconcerned with re- election, (which became automatic for him), he told protesting or complaining residents precisely what he thought, and quite often in terms that drew much of their vigor from his previous occupations. It became a generally understood thing that you didn't ask Arthur Finlay for his opinion unless you were prepared to hear it. The edge of this almost legendary bluntness was turned by two facts, the first that there was never the slightest doubt that Mr. Finlay's only concern was the health of Orleans, and the second that to all but the most insensate it became obvious that Arthur Finlay loved people and a good lusty exchange of views in almost equal measure. Born in Millis on August 23, 1893, Arthur Finlay is survived by his wife, Ruth G. Finlay, two sons, Arthur Finlay, Jr. and Donald Stuart Finlay, two brothers, Harold Finlay and Edward Finlay, both of Florida, and eight grand- children. Arthur R.

Hockenbury (Nov. 14, 1968) 0; id 0 f� an W4 iff Report of Boards of Selectmen, Welfare and Assessors After the 1968 Annual Election, Arthur R. Finlay was elected Chairman of the Board of Selectmen and Assessors' - Gaston L. Norgeot Chairman of the Nauset Beach Com- mission, Department of Public Welfare, and the Park Commission; and Dean K. Howerton Chairman of the Board of Health. After the death of Mr. Finlay, a special election was held on August 5, 1968, and Paul P. Henson, Jr. was elected to fill the unexpired term. The Board was reorganized with Mr. Norgeot as Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Howerton as Chairman of the Board of Health, and Mr. Henson as Chairman of the Board of Assessors. Of significance this year was the State take -over of Public Welfare. Under the new arrangement, State funds will pay for welfare administration, and to the surprise of many, the Towns will still indirectly pay welfare re- cipients by assessment from the Local Aid Fund. The effect will be that as State welfare costs rise, the Town's share of income from the Local Aid Fund will lower, thus increasing amounts of money to be raised by local taxation. The problem of assessment inequities has been closely examined this year and this Board will recommend a re- assessment of land and updating of building values. Recent court decisions indicate it would be prudent to constantly maintain a full and fair cash value. Time has been spent representing the Town's interests at legislative hearings and other meetings concerning local taxation and legislation which has a direct effect on our local life. As an example, our efforts combined with other Boards of Selectmen, were instrumental in achieving con- siderable revisions of the State Sanitary Code which have had great effect on the cost potential of our public beaches, also, the Study by the Corps of Engineers of Pleasant Bay was completed this year. For several years, we have spent many hours and days working with the Engineers to develop this Study to ensure Orleans interests were fully considered. We are responsive to a widely -held feeling of the citizens of Orleans that all necessary precautions be taken to prevent excessive governmental spending. We are con- 12 stantly on the alert to achieve savings where possible in every area of Town Government. As shown in the following Graph, this task is an extremely difficult one which best can be demonstrated by the fact that less than 21 percent of the $1,619,435.00 1969 Budget is subject to our scrutiny as a discretionary expense. Included in the 21 percent in 1968 were such things as fire trucks, conservation mea- sures, stabilization fund, new roads, and new water mains. The shaded area which indicates 21 percent of the total Budget is that part of which you have an option to spend.

This is the lack of call men for day time fire and rescue calls. Nights do not raise a problem Orleans Board of Fire Engineers as most of the men are at home from their other jobs.

It was a very busy year for the Highway Department. After the spring cleaning and preparing for summer, the first project was to replace damaged curbing, resurface the sidewalk and road on Main Street, which due to unforeseen difficulties was not completed, but will be completed this year. Drainage was installed on Brick Hill Road, Gibson Road, Mill Pond Road, and 4500 feet on Barley Neck Road. There are many other drainage problems on our roads which I am aware of and hope to correct in time. Resurfacing was done on Gibson Road, School Road and Portanimicut Road. Under the seal coating program the following roads were treated: Meeting House Road, Ruggles Road, Gibson Road and Herring Brook Way. In closing I wish to thank all town officials for their help and co- operation. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G. MAYO Surveyor of Highways am 23 Report of the Water Commissioners The Water Commissioners held 20 regular meetings during 1968 and, in their seventh annual report, recorded 128 new installations for the year, bringing to 1594 the number of water services installed since the establishment of the Department. About one and one half miles of new water mains were laid in 1968 for a total of nearly 50 miles. In on addition 13,395 feet of service pipe and thirteen new hydrants were installed during the year, giving the system a total of 384 such outlets. The three pumping stations produced 127,927,150 gallons of water with July, 21,686,160 gallons — account- ing for the largest monthly consumption. Since July 1, 1963, the Department has issued water bills totaling $267,983.15. Total billing for 1968 for metered usage was $63,452.28 up $4,389.97 over the 1967 figure. In addition $422.75 was billed for additional water usage. The grand total for 1968 was $63,875.03. We wish to express our appreciation to the takers, who were inconvenienced when it was necessary to turn the water off for a period of time when repairing mains, or cutting in for additional services. We also wish to take this opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation to the other Cape Cod Water Departments, to all of the Town Departments and to Town Personnel, and to the residents of the Town for their continued cooperation and help. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT F. WILCOX, Chairman RAYMOND E. NEWTON, Clerk ROGER F. SMITH Board of Water Commissioners 24 Orleans Recreation Commission Report for 1968 The Orleans Recreation Commission added new dimen- sions with its Summer program. Proving more popular than ever were the swimming classes at Pilgrim Lake. The addition of a male swimming instructor to assist the two girls meant the whole scope of the swimming training was broadened. The Commission also installed a new dock at Pilgrim Lake which increased the safety at the classes. With the success of these fresh water courses, many parents have approached the Commission on the feasibility of salt water instruction, which its members are now looking into. The boys' and girls' programs ran very smoothly this year with attendance up over 35 percent. With John Freeman, Boys' Director, also serving as co- ordinator and publicity director for all the Recreation Commission's programs, this gave the whole Summer's activities more recognition and organization than they have ever enjoyed before. Tennis instruction proved quite popular as another Recreation Commission sponsored activity while the Little League once again flourished under the fine leadership of Whitey Dunham. Thanks to Mr. Freeman's efforts, the Pony League had its best participation of local boys ever, and seems to have finally established itself as an integral and necessary part of the Commission's program. Of course, throughout the year, the Saturday morning programs are becoming more popular than ever, as the local instructors co- ordinate their tutelage with that of the high school's in order to form a systematic and orderly development right on through the athletic program in the town. Soccer and basketball for the boys and field hockey and basketball for the girls keep several instructors busy on a Saturday morning. Offering these programs to the fourth grade boys was another first this year for the Commission. The Commission continued its sponsorship of the Orleans Cardinals in both the Cape Cod Baseball League and Basketball League. The Orleans Recreation Commission continues in its quest for a well - balanced Recreation program for all 25 members of the town at all ages and in all phases of popular activities. The commission is only five people, however, and is always eager to hear any and all suggestions from you, who are the reason there is a Recreation Commission. Respectfully submitted, DAVID B. WILLARD Orleans Recreation Commission Secretary 1968 Harbormaster Report I am pleased to report that boating is still on the increase. All of the boat ramps and docks were used to capacity. Many lost skiffs, rowboats, and small sailboats were reported as stolen. If everyone put their name and address inside all boats before putting them into the water this Spring, it would make returning them more expedient. If you wish to moor your boat in the same area each year, please advise me in the Spring. Due to the increasing numbers of moorings each year, more permanent arrange- ments will have to be worked out in the very near future, and such plans are being formulated. We now have a new permanent dock, and have extended and surfaced the parking lot at the head of the Town Cove. We hope to expand at least one Town Landing each year. Respectfully yours, ALBERT J. NORGEOT Harbormaster eay Reports of the Bath House Needs Committee And of the Bath House Building Committee To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: Your Bath House Needs Committee has studied, at length, the various feasible locations for a toilet facility in the Center of Town, but can make no recommendations until Section 7 of the New Sanitary Code has been clarified by the State Board of Health. The size and complexity of the disposal field which may be required by this Code governs the location of a proposed facility. Your Bath_ House Building Committee had preliminary test borings made at Nauset Beach prior to planning a new bath house. It contracted for and received construction plans for a new bath house building facility. Competitive bids were let and when returned, were rejected as too expensive. New construction plans for a more economical building were well under way when the writing of the above- mentioned Code change made it advisable to wait again. Your committees, if re- appointed, will continue their endeavor to provide better facilities at the beaches, and to provide more facts and recommendations leading to the construction of a rest station in, or near, the Center of Town.

U v d r'r. 0 x o- 0 0 H L 27 1968 Shellfish Report I am pleased to report that this year was another good year for little necks. Most areas in Orleans grew shellfish exceedingly slowly this Spring due to the cold water, but this Summer made up for the slow Spring. This year, 1968, is the first good sign that Orleans may have natural oysters in years to come. Small amounts of natural oyster spat have been found from Meeting House Pond to Big Pleasant Bay. I believe that the spat came from the Round Cove area in Harwich. The Town of Harwich has planted a large concentration of parent stock in that area. Quanset Pond in South Orleans is the area which is being used by the Shellfish Department to farm oysters. At the present time, we have approximately 30,000 oyster seed in this area which came from the Town of Orleans Oyster Raft that was placed in Wellfleet Harbor this past Summer. The oyster spat was caught on strings of shells called "cultch ". The cultch strings were made up at the Nauset Workshop. It was their labor that made the oyster project such a success this year. Scallops this year started off well, but ended up rather poorly. The average catch per man was about 3 bushels a day. However, if the Winter is mild and the bottom doesn't fall out of Pleasant Bay, we have a good chance for a crop of Scallops in 1969. Soft Shell Clams this year did quite well, but not as well as in the past two or three years. Clams were every- where, but the concentration was low, making a poor year for the Commercial Clammers. Heavy concentration of seed Clams are present at this time in the Town Cove area and some areas of Pleasant Bay. I believe that large amounts of the seed will be destroyed by the flock of Geese which have already worked over some of these areas, so we'll leave it up to the Birds.

Several trees either dead or so in a weakened condition were removed. These trees were of little or no value and traffic safety was improved by their re- moval This Tree Department is planting a number of young trees, more than are being removed. These young trees will some day play an important part in keeping Orleans a notable beauty spot. Healthy, well fed trees are stronger and more re- sistant to many insects and diseases. Shade trees receiving greater benefits from systematic fertilizing than from almost any other single help can give them. Both liquid and dry fertilizers have been applied to the trees in Orleans as part of our tree care program. Excessive drought, especially if they are accompanied by high temperatures may result in the sudden drying of leaves and the withdrawal of so much sap from the twigs that eventually they die. This condition was very marked last year. Your Tree Warden did a good deal of watering artificially to trees -most needing such care. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A.

Town Nurse W W all Fi l 911 Report of the Personnel Board The Moderator The Board of Selectmen The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Town of Orleans The Board met each month during the year and in addition held two hearings in connection with proposed amendments to the Personnel By -Law. The Board passed upon 71 different recommendations concerning positions in the Town with respect to individuals already in the Town employ as well as new employees. The Board recommended, and the. March 1968 Town Meeting approved, the following: Reclassification of the position of Fire and Police Dispatcher Combination of the positions of Shellfish Constable and Harbor Master Reclassification of the position of Public Health Nurse Supervisor Change in the anniversary date of annual step raises for Town employees from April to January. At a Special Town Meeting, July 8, 1968 the Board proposed substantial changes in salaries and hourly rates for most positions in the Town for which the Board has responsibility. These changes were estimated to increase wage costs about $15,000 annually. These costs were further raised by an increase in the wage scales of the Labor Group proposed and approved by the Town Meeting. In August 1968, the Board of Selectmen appointed Edward G. Benz to the Personnel Board, filling the va- cancy existing from the expiration of the term of Eric W. Fisher. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD F. F.

Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH L. ROGERS, JR. Building Inspector 1 i on 33 1968 Report of the Park Commission To the Honorable Board of Park Commissioners: I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Park Department for the Year of 1968. This was the largest year in both attendance and receipts that this Department has ever experienced. Income from Nauset Beach is as follows: Parking Tickets, Stickers, and Surfboard Admissions — $36,053.00; Concession — $2,000.00; Telephone Commissions — $103.28; and Concession at Skaket Beach — $350.00, for a Total of $38,506.28. Beach Buggies checked during the Season amounted to 7,842, an average of about 70 cars per day. We are maintaining all Park Areas to the best of our ability, and any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. To date, nothing further has been done in regards to Facilities at Nauset Beach, Pilgrim Lake, and Skaket Beach. Until the final decision of the Sanitary Code of the State Board of Health has been finalized, we cannot know what will be required in these areas. Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE L. VANASSE, Superintendent 34 Annual Report of the Barnstable County Health Department 1968 Barnstable County Commissioners MIII Gentlemen: I am pleased to submit this report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1968. Public Law 89 -749, the Comprehensive Health Plan- ning and Public Health Service Act of 1966, more com- monly known as the "Partnership for Health Act of 1966" has stimulated action in Massachusetts. The United States Congress declared "that fulfillment of our national purpose depends on promoting and assuring the highest level of health attainable for every person, in an environment which contributes positively to healthful individual and family living. Federal financial assistance must be directed to support the marshalling of all health resources — National, State, and Local — to assure comprehensive health services of high quality for every person." A State Comprehensive Health Planning Program for Massachusetts was established within the Executive Office for Administration and Finance on June 23, 1967 and began functioning with the appointment of a Director on April 28, 1968. The Director of this department has the privilege of being appointed to the Governor's Council on Comprehensive Health and looks forward to serving on this important council. For this planning Barnstable County is in Region 7 and in the `Barnstable" area, which is composed of Barn- stable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties, and the Town of Wareham. This department's personnel have always devoted a great proportion of their time in helping to establish health needs, helping to initiate programs when needed, coordin- ating services, and serving as advisors and consultants in their specialty. The staff continues to take an active part in many community health activities and in their profes- sional organizations. The social worker vacancy was filled at the end of this year. After a period of orientation and review a 35 statement of her services will be made available to appro- priate agencies in the County. On September 10, 1968, the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health made available mumps vaccine to immunize students in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades who have no history of mumps or receiving mumps vaccine. The junior high school group was selected for the initial phase of the program because the incidence of compli- cations from mumps is highest in adolescents and adults. Five towns in Barnstable County have completed a program for this age group. Dental Health — Alice Dalzell Dental hygiene service in Barnstable County in 1968 was a combination of direct service to pre- school programs and schools, educational programs to communities and schools, consultation and research. Every town on the Cape was covered with some kind of dental program or consultation. Two schools, Nazareth and Holy Trinity, which had never received service before, were added to the list. Much work was done at the pre- school level. During the summer, topical fluoride treatments were given to children entering the Orleans School System. The Dental Hygienist was a member of the team consultation group to Head Start groups and programs, both summer and year- round, and gave direct service to these programs. All children were screened and some fluoride treatments were given if the child had not had the treatment previously. Many parent classes were held which gave an excellent opportunity for dental health education. An Epidemiological Study to determine the fluoride content of tooth enamel was conducted in the Barnstable School System. This study was a co- operative effort with the Forsyth Dental Research Center, Massachusetts Division of Dental Health, Barnstable County Health Department, and the School System, and financed through a research grant to Forsyth. Children in grades 4 and 5 of the Hyannis East Elementary took part in the study and the County Hygienist was the clinician. Results of this study have not as yet been compiled. During Dental Health Week, February 4 -11, a poster contest was held in conjunction with the Cape Cod Dental Society and the Council in Dental Health. All sixth grades on the Cape were invited to participate. Winners were presented water -pies and electric toothbrushes. There were radio interviews, TV spot announcements, and many articles on dental health in the newspapers. Many edu- 36 cational programs such as assemblies and classroom talks were held in the schools as special programs during Dental Health Week. However, much of this dental education is carried on through the school year. The new Fluoridation Law, which passed the 1968 Legislature, has demanded much attention. Under the new law, local Boards of Health, with the approval of the State Health Commissioner, have the authority and responsibility for recommending fluoridation if they deem it in the public interest. As with many new laws, people are not always sure how to proceed properly under tha statute, and calls for advice and assistance, speakers, etc., have been numerous. The cost of dental care makes fluoridation of water supplies a must for the prevention of tooth decay. Water fluoridation is a controversial matter and much needs to be done to inform the communities that the benefits far out -weigh the fears. The new law assures healthier teeth for growing children with benefits extending into later life — stronger bones for adults is one such benefit. Environmental Sanitation — Richard Sturtevant All inspectional programs were performed according to the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code which included eating and drinking establishments, recreational camps, family type camp grounds, public and semi - public swim- ming pools, and sewage disposal inspections. Local Boards of Health were assisted in sewage disposal approval where special problems existed. Other activities included approval of day care centers, public and private school inspections, sub - division approvals, bathing beach approvals, shellfish control, field investiga- tions for tick control, and epidemiological investigations. We are pleased to note that some towns have proceeded to acquire public lands for futue In the near waste disposal and public water supplies. future a study will have been completed by the Cape Cod Economic and Development Advisory Commission relative to water supply, solid waste disposal for Barnstable County. Members of this department are working with the Com- mission in making this study. Nursing — Esther G. Howes One of the major goals for 1968 had been "to provide more direct supervision for each public health nurse." Because continued "certification" for Medicare coverage requires the provision of supervision, written agreements were drawn up between six towns and the Barnstable County Health Department. These agreements 'p 37 meant a new relationship with the public health nurses, beyond that of answering requests for help and imparting information on new programs. Direct supervision includes knowledge of cases and case management, of the behavior and performance of nurses, and includes a commitment to the employers of nurses. This means a periodic evaluation and report to the employer as to the nurse's professional growth and her ability to maintain standards of public health practice. There are 52 public health nurses employed now in the County, 17 are prepared, and all of the agency nurses now have nursing supervision. The school nurses continue to be pre - occupied with personnel policies; however, there is need for many to demonstrate their ability in curriculum planning and health education, and to propose new ways of using non - professional helpers. Annual Report of Veterans' Agent The Honorable Board of Selectmen: Your Veterans' Agent would like to take this oppor- tunity to inform all veterans and their dependents that a representative of the U. S. Veterans Administration travels from Providence, R. I. to the Town Office Building, Main Street, Hyannis, the second Thursday of each month (holidays excepted). He is there to answer your questions and to assist you in obtaining any and all benefits to which you may be entitled.

The year 1968 was very active politically. There were three State Elections and two Town Elections. This, plus the population growth of Orleans in 1968, contributed to a large increase in voter registration. The total regis- tration at the end of 1968 was 2175. There were 1263 Republicans, 171 Democrats and 741 Independents. There were 109 names removed from the Voting List, for cause, as required by law. There were 307 new voters registered. This resulted in a net gain of 198 registered voters in 1968. As required by law, the Board of Registrars con- ducted the annual listing of all residents 20 years of age and older. The count in this age group as of January 1, 1968 was 2418 residents. Listing of dogs and their owners was conducted at the same time for the Board of Assessors. There were 465 dogs declared by residents. The Board of Registrars are charged with the responsibility of conducting recount of votes in contested elections. There were two such recounts carried out in 1968. Respectfully submitted, IRA O. DENMAN, Chairman HELENE B. FINN IRENE M. McCOUBREY 41 Conservation Commission This Commission has been meeting regularly and the following has been accomplished: 1. Soil plan map, for which the Town appropri- ated funds at the March 1968 Town Meeting, was ordered and we are informed will be com- pleted this Spring. 2. We have as yet been unsuccessful in ac- quiring any marsh land so the $15,000 appro- printed for this purpose and expenses in con- nection with such acquisition, remains unexpended at this time. This money will be used in the future for this special purpose. 3. In cooperation with the Recreation Com- mission, arrangements were made in relation to the Pilgrim Lake property that was acquired at the request of the Recreation Commission, where- by the State has assured us that under the "Self Help" program, the Town will be reim- bursed for 50 percent or about $8,750 if the Town will vote affirmatively in connection with the transfer of control of the property to the Conservation Commission. This Commission will turn back to the Recreation Commission sufficient area of the property so that the needs of the Recreation Commission will be amply taken care Of. 4. We appeared at hearings, attended State and County meetings, and generally have increased our knowledge of conservation problems. Upon receipt of the Soil plan maps and completion of the inventory of the Town's natural recourses, we propose to draft an over all plan for conservation as an objective for future effort. This will require cooperation with the Planning Board and Selectmen, as well as the interested County organization. At the 1969 Town Meeting, we were requesting an appropriation of $7,500 to be used to establish a Con- servation Fund, as provided by State Law. Money in such a fund can be accumulated from year to year, and can be used for any form of conservation work. 42 Brewster - Orleans - Eastham Ambulance Association, Inc.

LIVINGSTON, President WARRENTON A. WILLIAMS, Clerk- Secretary 44 Report of the Study Committee For Housing for the Elderly In the Town of Orleans The Selectmen of the Town of Orleans, in accordance with the instructions in Article 50 approved by the voters at the Annual Town Meeting held on March 11, 1968, appointed the following persons to serve on a committee to "study the need for housing for the elderly of low income." Donald B. Foresman, Chairman Linnell E. Studley, Co- Chairman Miss Doris Bates, Secretary- Treasurer Captain Kenneth G. Crosby Mrs. Alberta M. deRonge Stuart E. Hockenbury David E. Johnson Mrs. Janet G. Manson Reverend G. David White This committee, known as "The Study Committee for Housing for the Elderly ", has met regularly throughout the year. It has sought the advice of the clergy and others in the town who are especially aware of the situations of low income persons. It has visited retirement housing in towns and .cities both on and off the Cape (always at the members' expense) . It has had speakers at various town organization meetings to acquaint the public in general with the image of what modern retirement housing can offer in better living. It has circulated questionnaires to the elderly through the press to give them an oppor- tunity to express their needs. It has made an exhaustive study of the records of the town to determine how many people of retirement age are residents of the town, whether they are home - owners or not, and in what age groups these people are. The committee has also surveyed the activities of neighboring towns in the retirement housing field. The committee wishes to acknowledge the help given it by the Selectmen, the Town Clerk, the Collector of Taxes, and other town officials, and to Mrs. Eleanor Blake of the Town Welfare Department, who met often with the committee; to Norman P. Mason, former U.S. Housing Administrator and currently an advisor on retire- ment housing, who met regularly with the committee and has freely contributed many hours of his time, and to 45 Mr. Christopher J. McCarthy of the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Commerce and Development's Elderly Housing Division who met with the committee and gave it much practical help. Purpose of the Study The committee established the following purposes of its study: 1. To determine the need, if any, for special housing for elderly people whose incomes fall within a low income range. 2. To evaluate the various types of retirement housing now in use around the country and see which would best meet the needs of the elderly of low income in Orleans and vicinity. 3. To determine, as far as possible, whether or not such housing would be acceptable to the people of Orleans. Types of Housing Available There are a number of programs which provide housing for the elderly, including: I. Privately financed "residence clubs." II. Federally assisted programs such as: A. FHA's Section 231 which provides housing for middle income people and which provides small apartments and three meals a day for about $275 per month. B. FHA's Section 221 D -3 which provides apart - ments at lower rents for people of low income, regardless of age. III. Federally sponsored public housing for the elderly (not considered suitable for Orleans because of the requirements). IV. Program of the Federal Farmers Home Administra- tion (no funds currently available). The committee feels that none of the above is the answer to problems under study and that the two pro- grams which would best fit the needs of Orleans, once those needs are established, are: I. The Massachusetts program of State assisted housing for the elderly of low income. II. The Federal Housing Administration Section 202 program of housing for elderly of lower middle income. M Orleans Residents 62 and over. Using the standards set by Federal and Massachusetts housing programs for the elderly, the committee has accepted as elderly those people 62 years of age and older regularly residing in the Town of Orleans. Age groups are shown in the following table: Age Males Females Total Under 62* 8 53 61 62-64 62 82 144 65-69 106 155 261 70-74 91 112 203 75-79 62 86 149 80-84 28 33 61 85-89 6 15 21 90 and older 4 5 9 All Ages Total 367 541 908 Age 65 and Older 297 406 703 * These people are spouses where the husband or wife is 62 or older. Family Makeup Number of Couples 298 596 people Number of Single Women 249 249 people Number of Single Men 63 63 people Families 610 908 people The number of people 65 and over (703) represents about one out of five, compared to the national average of one out of ten. It is the expectation of the committee that the number of retired people will increase each year. Better health facilities have increased the age span of older folk, and the attractions of Cape Cod bring more and more people to live here during their retirement years. What is Low Income? Factual information as to relative income levels is not available in Orleans. The Federal census establishes such figures for standard metropolitan statistical areas but not for the Cape. The house a man lives in or the car he drives does not denote his income level in New England and especially on Cape Cod. We have a few facts, however, about low incomes in Orleans. 80 families have tax abatements up to $350 per year under Chapter 41 of the laws of the Commonwealth. To qualify people must be over 70 and have incomes The two types of housing for the elderly explained at these meetings were: 1. Apartments built under the Massachusetts Hous- ing Authority Laws. The Massachusetts Housing Authority law was estab- lished over 15 years ago. There are 183 projects in the State, comprising 8,8,00 individual apartment units. There are 63 more under construction and about 100 in the planning stage. Waiting lists are long in almost every location and some 47 not over $5,000 for a couple or $4,000 for an individual (not including Social Security). They cannot own homes valued over $20,000. 30 families are receiving old age assistance. 146 single people and 33 couples over 62 years old own no real estate. Clergy of two of our churches told the committee that they personally know of 35 elderly families with very small incomes who are in urgent need of apartment housing, either because their present homes are too costly to main- tain or because they cannot afford present rents. "Low income" is a relative term. The committee, after much deliberation, established "low income" to mean the incomes of couples having $5,400 or less per year; and of single persons with incomes of $4,800 or less. These are figures used in Federal programs for housing for the elderly in the so-called "lower middle income" group. At the same time the committee established a "low -low income" level at $3,000, for a couple, and $2,500 for a single person, as these are the standards set up under the Massachusetts housing laws. Informing the Public Realizing that there might be misconceptions as to what "housing for the elderly" might be, and because the committee felt that some direct expression of interest on the part of the older people to be served by housing for the elderly was essential, the committee arranged for Chairman Foresman and Mr. Mason to speak at meetings of several groups such as the Orleans Rotary Club, the Forty Plus Club of the Federated Church, a special group of elderly at the Methodist Church and the like. The press cooperated in reporting on these talks and the committee wishes to express its appreciation to the Cape Codder, the Oracle and the Cape Cod Standard Times for this support of their work. The two types of housing for the elderly explained at these meetings were: 1. Apartments built under the Massachusetts Hous- ing Authority Laws. The Massachusetts Housing Authority law was estab- lished over 15 years ago. There are 183 projects in the State, comprising 8,8,00 individual apartment units. There are 63 more under construction and about 100 in the planning stage. Waiting lists are long in almost every location and some M towns have added twice or three times to their original buildings. The committee has either visited or seen pictures of apartment units in such towns as Falmouth and Yar- mouth on the Cape and in Plymouth, Wareham, Lexington, Needham and Concord. Tenants must be 65 years old or more and have incomes of not more than $2,500 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple. For Orleans such an apartment complex would probably consist of 40 units plus a Community Center on a minimum of about 4 acres, plus land for expansion. It would be built campus style — probably one story shingled buildings, certainly not more than two stories. Each unit would consist of a living room with a dining area, a complete bath, a kitchenette and a bedroom. The cost per unit, including the land, would probably be around $12,000 to $13,500. There would be outdoor parking for autos. Rents would approximate $58 to $60 per month, including all utilities. There would be ample green space around the units, which would be suitably landscaped and there would be room for expansion. This housing would be administered by an Orleans Housing Authority made up of five persons. Four of these would be appointed by the Selectmen the first year and subsequently would be elected at the annual town elections. The fifth member would be a local man but he would be appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts. All would serve without pay. This program would cost the town nothing. The Housing Authority borrows the money to pay for the housing through notes guaranteed by the State but without any obligation to the community. It in no way reflects upon the borrowing power of the town. Each year the State reimburses the local housing authority with a sum not greater than 4 percent of the original cost of the project, and not less than 21/.> percent. This helps to reduce the rentals required. The housing does not pay taxes; it does not add to the school load. The committee has visited the apartments for the elderly on the Cape established under the Massachusetts Housing laws. Falmouth has two such projects with a total of 54 units and is starting a third with 60 units. The experience has been most satisfactory. Practically all of the tenants are from the Falmouth area or have family connections there. More than 75 percent of the IN P■1 16■1 Al 49 tenants are women. Problems are minimal and mostly minor ones associated with advancing age. Yarmouth also has a Housing Authority, established in 1963. It is a two story building with 40 units with only 5 men in the entire building. Yarmouth has a waiting list of about 60. The town is proud of its apartment project which has had the backing of town officials and community leaders since its inception. II. Federally Financed Apartments (under Section (202) Under Private Sponsorship. The second kind of housing for the elderly discussed was that built by a private, non -profit sponsoring organi- zation interested in helping older people live fuller lives. The housing itself would be quite similar in appearance to that built under a Housing Authority, except that it would have more space for activities. It would be built by a private organization and would operate on a non- profit concept. The money to finance this would be borrowed directly from the Federal government at a subsidized interest rate of 3 percent. This would permit rents to be lower than if the money was borrowed at market rates, currently about 71/2 percent here. Rents would run from $90 to $135 depending upon the size of the units. This would include all utilities. The housing would either pay regular taxes or make a payment in lieu of taxes. In such a unit single people would be eligible for admission if their incomes were no more than $4,800 and couples if their incomes did not exceed $5,400. The committee visited two projects financed under Section 202 in Quincy and Melrose. They have talked to the sponsors of such apartments for the elderly in Falmouth where an 80 unit building is under way. They have had extensive correspondence with Mr. John Tillson of the North Side Housing Corporation — a non - profit corporation sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. The corporation is building four Section 202 projects on the North Shore. These apartments fill a real need for housing for the elderly in the low- middle income group. Chief advantage compared with the State Housing Authority projects is that they provide for a sponsor interested in the social well being of the tenants and the buildings are better equipped for social and educational work. What the Elderly Wash In order to obtain specific data on the interest of the elderly in specially designed housing, and .to. determine 50 their wishes and needs as to housing, the committee placed an advertisement in the form of a questionnaire in the two local newspapers, the Oracle and the Cape Codder. This ran on June 13th and July 4th. The questionnaire was also distributed through the churches. In the questionnaire, three different types of apart- ment housing were listed including the two programs mentioned above and more luxurious apartments where there would be no maximum income limitation on ad- mission. 140 replies were received including Orleans and nearby Cape towns. 62 (40.4 %) checked apartments renting at about $50 per month (The Massachusetts housing program described above). 66 (40.7 %) checked apartments renting at $75 to $135 per month. (The Federal Section 202 program described above). 32 (20.2 17o) checked apartments with no limit on rents or income of resident. (Some cen ge o addchecked s up more than 1007o). typ so the per - a60.3% were from single people. 39.77c were from couples. 667o own their own homes now. 26% pay rent. 87o live with others. Average age of those replying was 70.3 years. Orleans Residents. 71 replies were received from residents of Orleans. 35 (49.2 %) checked the lowest cost apartments. (Max- imum incomes $2,500 and $3,000). 33 (46.4 %) checked the medium rent apartments. (Maximum incomes $4,800 and $5,400). 17 (23.9 %) checked apartments without income limi- tation or rents mentioned. 62.9% were individuals. 38.1% were couples. 66.6% own their own homes. 29.69'o pay rent. 3.8910 live with others. The average age of those from Orleans replying was 70.1 years. gol gin 51 The committee has also received about 20 letters applying for admission to housing and has had numerous phone calls asking how soon the units would be ready for occupancy; this in spite of the fact that the committee has taken pains to explain that it was only a study group and not an action one. Recommendations of the Committee The committee finds strong evidence of the need for apartment housing for the elderly in the Town of Orleans —both at the very low and middle income levels. The committee recommends that an Article be placed in the Town Warrant for the next Annual Meeting of the Town of Orleans providing for the establishment of a Housing Authority in the Town of Orleans, as described on pages 7 and 8 of this report, and empower- ing the Selectmen to appoint four of the five members of the Authority, and to request the Governor to appoint the fifth member — all in accordance with the general laws of the Commonwealth; and that the Selectmen suggest to the Housing Authority that it give serious consideration to the advice of the committee and proceed at once to apply for the State's guarantee of funds to be borrowed by the Authority, and that it seek out a competent architect, preferably a local resident, and use all diligence to secure a proper site and get the housing built and operating. The committee also found that a need exists for housing for the elderly in the Orleans and Lower Cape area for people of higher incomes than those in the low income bracket. Hence they recommend that some group continue the search for a non - profit organization — a church or a service club for example — to sponsor a retirement housing project somewhere in this vicinity to be financed under the Federal Government's Section 202 program. The committee found evidence of the need for subsidized housing for younger families and respectfully suggests that the town may wish to have some committee explore this matter. The committee feels that it has herewith discharged the responsibility given it in Article 50 of the Annual 1968 Town Meeting and asks to be discharged. Respectfully submitted, Study Committee for Housing for the Elderly DONALD B.

As a result, the Board is making this recommendation and is requesting an appropriation of money to put it into effect. A program of registration of retail food establishments was initiated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health requiring inspection of all such stores in the town. Inspection was carried out by the County sanitarian as the agent of the Board of Health, and thirteen establishments were licensed. an Various violations were investigated and appropriate action was taken where necessary. Marion I. Chace, R.N., the Public Health Nurse, has continued her usual excellent service, supplemented by Eleanor M. Higgins, R.N., her very competent assistant and by the services of Mary D. Chambers, L.P.N., the Licensed Practical Nurse. The Homemaker Service is continuing as in the past.

Gray, Jr. who served twelve years on the Planning Board, six of them as Chairman, and later our Secretary, Mrs. Ralph Hunter who served six years, is a great loss to the Town. The dedicated service of these two will be missed for many years to come. Too much of the planning function was forced into the background by the routine duties required of the Board, an all too common occurrence with Planning Boards. Members of the Board attended ten evening Seminars on Community Planning held at the Cape Cod Community College. In addition, the Board held twenty -t O regular meetings, and eight special meetings. There were eleven legal hearings, resulting in the approval of forty lots, thin Approval Not Required Plans signed, and an undetermined number of Preliminary Plans viewed and advisory opinions given. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM C. SNOW, Chairman Orleans Planning Board Report of Snow Library The 1968 Board of Trustees was composed of six members instead of three. With the dedicated work of Mrs. Robert Nickerson and Mrs. Maude Peers the Board has increased the Library hours from 19 to 23 per week. These increased hours have included two evening hours which have attracted students as a place for study and show a need for more evening hours. The Library has also been open from 12 to 1:00 P.M. one day a week to give working people a chance to drop in during the lunch hour. In 1968 the highest circulation ever was made with 34,262 volumes circulated and nearly 2,000 families are served summer and winter. CONSTANCE M.

We have voted a resolution to aim toward more individualized instruction for the chil- dren of the Town of Orleans. With thirty children per classroom, this is hard, if not impossible, to accomplish. In order to achieve this aim, we are investigating additional space possibilities at the Elementary School. It is our hope that this will be accomplished through the building of a new school and the implementation of the 4 -4 -4 plan, voted in June of 1966. This new school would make the 5th and 6th grade rooms available for use in our Elementary School by the first four grades. However, if some solution along these lines is not soon found, we shall have to appoint a building committee and consider an addition, to the Ele- mentary School. We have had a number of staff changes during this past year. Mrs. Cora Mayo retired as Principal in June when a :, 17$ 179 number of townspeople turned out at a public reception to show their appreciation of her years of service.

Miss Bowler has done a fine job in picking up the reins.

WINSLOW, Jr. from the same environment. 180 Unfortunately, we were the first school department in the Cape area to bring a high school building Bond Issue to the voters in the past half decade. In this same. period and more so lately, we are in a period of extremely accelerating inflation. In August and September of 1968, it evidently appeared to many that a cost of $29 per square foot was excessive. Since this time, the citizens have been able to read about other building programs being contemplated, particularly at Barnstable, ($36 per square foot estimate), and more recently New Bedford. I refer you to part of a quote from an editorial of the Cape Cod Standard Times, printed in the January 2, 1969 issue and, referring to the new high school proposed for the city of New Bedford: .There is, for instance, the question of ultimate expense. In March, the estimated construction cost was house $13,312,000, schoolb containing preliminary drawings 440,000 square feet, at a at $30 a square foot. Using calculations based on this cost, the city auditor's office announced that the proposed building would in- crease the New Bedford tax rate to $7 for 19 years. This would drop to about $4 in the 20th and final year of bond payments. Final drawings now place the estimated cost in excess of $15 million, increasing the tax rate to about $8 a year. The City Council already has voted to construct the new school, and has agreed on the site. It should ap- prove the order coming from Mayor Harrington to "preload" the site. This would be an important shot in the arm for a school system that is operating with outmoded facilities for new schooltm s h t be teen-agers and e lsooner,gh a scheaperThe Let me strongly recommend: 1. That we put our children's educational welfare FIRST on our list of priorities. 2. That we approve in February a Bond Issue for a new high school facility and prevent the cost of this facility from increasing even more. 3. That we put aside our fears and move for- ward on a base of faith in our community, state, and federal governments and the organizations and committees within each level.

Annual Report of the Clinic 1968 Orleans Elementary School A new immunization law went into effect on 4 December 1967 requiring all pupils from Grades Kinder- garten through Eight to have been successfully vaccinated against small pox and immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, poliomyelitis, and all such other communicable diseases as may be specified from time to time by the Department of Public Health. Cross check of health records revealed the majority of pupils as having received the required immunizations. Parents have been most cooperative in submitting up dated information through letters which have been drafted for them. A minority is exempt from compliance because of medical or religious reasons. This year's health program was accelerated by Dr. Whitelaw with the addition of two new clinics. A measles immunization clinic was launched in February 1968 to help eradicate measles. Live attenuated measles vaccine, Schwartz strain, was administered to fifty one (51) 183 students in Grades Kindergarten through Six. This group has never had measles or been previously immunized. A crash Tuberculin Testing Program was, also, instituted by Dr. Whitelaw for the entire student body and available to faculty members. On 27 March 1968 the Mantoux method of testing was used on (305) students and (12) staff members. Test reading forty eight hours after the injections produced (9) positive reactors. The importance of the tuberculin test is that it warns of infection which could come active in the future. X -Ray arrangements for positive reactors are made through Pocasset Hospital with the necessary follow -up by family physicians and Boards of Health. The annual Diphtheria- Tetanus Clinic was held on 15 February 1968. Thirty five (35) students at fifth grade level benefited by this program. Fourth grade physicals which were started by Dr. Kelley were completed by Dr. Whitelaw in February 1968. Absenteeism once again was due to the usual upper respiratory and viral infections. Mumps which were prevalent in surrounding schools were sporadic here. Impetigo was common this year. Other body rashes were attributed to poison ivy and poison oak exposure. Health inspections showed the need for improving hygiene habits. A series of Thirteen (13) Health and Hygiene films were shown at various grade levels. The routine menstrual hygiene film was shown to girls in the fifth and sixth grades with orientation classes for both students and parents. The pre - school children were offered a dental floride application in July to children entering school in September. A dental screening program checked the dental care and needs of Grade 1- 6 with the results sent home. The physical examinations of Grade 4 and newly transferred students were completed by Dr. Whitelaw in October. The Eye and Ear Testing Programs in the Elementary School were completed on three hundred and twenty eight (328) children. The remaining twenty five (25) children comprise the afternoon Kindergarten session which will be done after January when the sessions change, as the nursing service is available in the building only in the morning. Referrals for fifteen (15) students failing the Massachusetts Vision test. Audiometic Screening revealed sixteen (16) failures. Respectfully Submitted, SOPHIE MARTIN, R.N. ROSE P. WILLETT, R.N.

NEW PERSONNEL A number of new administrative personnel have joined the School District. Miss Rosemary Bowler, Principal, Orleans Elemen- tary School Mr. William Cooper, Principal, Wellfleet Elementary School Mr. Thomas Mohan, Principal, Nauset Regional High School Mr. John Manwaring, Business Manager -- Union No. 54 and E. 0. W. Regional School District Additional personnel in Art, Music and Physical Education shared within Union No. 54 and Nauset Regional High School, plus realignment of assignments in relation to the 4 -4 -4 plan has resulted in approximately 35 percent more teaching time in Physical Education, 60 percent more in Art, and 25 percent more in Music for Union No. 54 schools. Expansion of elementary school library programs resulted in provisions of part -time school librarians for the towns of Brewster, Eastham, and Wellfleet. Mrs. John Hay is the new librarian in Brewster and Mrs. Elizabeth Rattle serves the Eastham and Wellfleet Elementary School libraries. Forward looking school committees are to be com- mended for their continued support of the school libraries which play a vital role in the elementary school curriculum. CURRICULUM COORDINATION Grass roots responsibility for the development of curriculum K -12 has taken hold in the form of curriculum coordinating committees in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. These 4- member com- mittees are composed of classroom teachers from Union No. 54 and Nauset Regional Nigh School. The committees function under the leadership and guidance of a steering committee whose membership consists of the chairman of each committee plus the 5 principals, chaired by the elementary supervisor. Minimum work load of committees involves approxi- mately 20 after school meetings per school year, plus 5 full work days beyond stated contract assignment. The philosophy of these committees is continual investigation and evaluation of the curriculum programs in "I 189 terms of content, method, materials, techniques, organi- zational patterns, community resources, together with assessment of needs of student population to provide a flexible, balanced, viable curriculum designed to affect individual growth of all children in our schools. Under study at present is an Environmental Awareness Program, offered by the National Park Service, designed to provide schools with resource materials, in- service education, and facilities to promote an understanding of the importance of the effect man's decisions play in relation to his environment. SUMMARY --Curriculum Directions In evaluating our curriculum needs, the following procedures appear to be directions toward which we are moving: 1. Grass roots responsibility for curriculum de- velopment K -12 2. Prevention versus remediation 3. Individualized instruction 4. Appropriate pupil placement 5. Use of community resources 6. Use of teacher aides 7. Increased services for the educationally handi- capped The addition to the Eastham Elementary School and the renovation of the Wellfleet Elementary School are now both in the final stages of completion. Both projects have thrust upon us some tortuous days; however, without these projects, both Eastham and Wellfleet would be offering an inadequate educational program. The Administrators, Elementary Supervisor, and faculty join with me in extending our appreciation to the School Committees of this District for their support in the year, 1968. PAUL N. ELLIS Superintendent of Schools 191 lit the following pages of the 1968 Orleans Finance Committee To the Voters of the Town of Orleans OORLEANS There seems to be no doubt that Orleans faces a tax L increase this year. The extent of the increase depends upon the voters at the Annual Town Meeting, March 10, 1969. TOWN REPORTS ... there are included -- 1. The 1969 Finance Committee Report. 2. 1969 Departmental Budgets, with: A. 1967 and 1968 Expenditures B. 1969 Requested Budgets C. Finance Committee Recommendations on 1969 Budget Requests 3. The 1969 Town Warrant 4. Finance Committee Recommendations on Articles of the Warrant. Departmental budget increases in Article 2, due pri- marily to salary increases in the schools and under the on Personnel By -Law amendments voted last year, will not be offset entirely by the expected increase in assessed valuation. ON Monies requested under other Warrant articles total $228,917.04, of which the Finance Committee disapproved $70,866.00, for a net recommended sum of $158,031.04, im excluding Article 2. This compares with $130,790.02 recom- mended last year (1968) to be raised and appropriated to which voters added $35,000 for a total of $166,290.03. In order to keep the tax rate at $23.00 last year, ON approximately $32,500.00 was taken from Available Funds to reduce the amount to be raised by taxation. Amount of Available Funds to be used this year is tied to the Regional School building program and a figure will be established by Selectmen by Town Meeting date. The Town has been informed that it can expect to receive $90,000.00 less from the State administered Local Aid Fund. In addition, another $24,000 received last year for Welfare reimbursement will not be received this year. These sums cannot be added this year to estimated receipts which help reduce the tax rate. The Finance Committee, in view of these facts, urges voters to exercise restraint in their decisions on the Warrant. ORLEANS FINANCE COMMITTEE so., C. Francis Richardson, Chairman Paul E.
