Cliff Pearce Edith Rogers Dean Howerton 10 Report of the Board of Selectmen This year we received assurance from the Department of Public Works that work would commence on the dredging of Rock Harbor. After many delays the accomplished and we have assurance preliminary ha State monies l s s are available along with Eastham and Orleans and that dredging will start in the spring. We have been investigating the shellfish potential in Or- leans waters. Dr. George Mathieson of the M a r I n e Research Foundation of Edgartown, as Selectmen have made a cursory examination of our existing resources in Pleasant Bay. This indicates that our first step is to determine the extent of the natural beds of quahog seed which we so fortun- ately have in Pleasant Bay. The next step is to discover what is the best use to make of the seed. It is important that we recognize the value of our shellfish industry to the commun- ity. Last year we estimate that our local commercial fisher- men took $30,000.00 from Pleasant Bay in little necks alone. Our concern is to do all in our ability to ensure that we can- not only maintain but improve the resource that adds so much to our economy. Research has been done by government and private foundations that has made great strides in shellfish larvacul- ture. We should continue our endeavor and extend our efforts to use these findings in our development of shellfish. The Selectmen are making attempts to obtain land and build- ings which would be a beginning for the Town of a well managed shellfish industry. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination and the profit to the Town can be an im- portant part of our economic planning. We conducted several meetings with the Principal, Su- perintendent and Science Department of the Nauset Re- gional School and discussed the possibility of instituting courses dealing with our shellfisheries. School authorities expressed an interest and are now developing means of fur- thering this goal. We are prepared to furnish grants and assist the school in every way possible to teach the children the value of our 11 natural resources and the possibility of them making their livelihood on our waters. There will be an article in proprgation of $2,500.00 for a natural seed —the best method ral propagation. the warrant asking for an ap- basic evaluation of available to use it and ensure its natu- Beyond this we will determine the best areas for growth of all types of shellfish. We anticipate that it will be wise for the Town to invest further money in the expansion of the shellfish industry when we realize that from its successful operation we can supply employment to a good number of Orleans citizens. This year your Board took steps to correct false state- ments issued by New England newspapers regarding over- crowded facilities in Orleans. Our letters were printed in the New England papers and resulted in favorable publicity which was helpful to the business community. For the first time the Selectmen appointed an architec- tural advisory committee with which we hope to prevent de- terioration of the business atmosphere of the Town. The committee has done an excellent job and we expect its con- tinued function will help preserve the natural beauty of Or- leans. This has attracted the attention of neighboring towns who wish to copy our example. This year we began having monthly meetings with the heads of departments. This has proven worthwhile in that problems which are common to all are discussed and duplica- tion of effort is avoided. We feel that the attitude shown by all of the officials involved is worthy of appreciation by the Town. In August the Town of Orleans was singled out by the U. S. State Department to host government leaders of Jamaica and the Philippines. The purpose was to explain to these leaders how our government functions. We derived great Pleasure in extending the hospitality of Orleans to these dis- tinguished visitors. After their visit we received the following communication from Mrs. Barbara Doyle, Agency for Inter- national Development, Washington, D. C. "Board of Selectmen: I can't let the season of good will go by without telling You how much good will you created when you took time from your busy schedules last August to discuss the adminis- 12 tration of Town Government with our foreign visitors, Mr. Sharp of Jamaica and Messrs. Lagura and Ranses of the Philippines. They still write me about their heir Visit impressed which they found extremely p with the there, as well as elsewhere in our country, I willing- ness of American officials to share knowledge with them. On their behalf, I wish to thank holiday, you again. My best wishes to you for a very happy Sincerely, BARBARA A. DOYLE" The County Selectmen's Association appointed one of our members to investigate the so- called rowdy problem. The committee's findings were accepted by the association and it is suggested that I� mend tions. We e are following theprecommendat ons.ecom- We put considerable time in investigating the effects of closing the Chatham cut through including sessions with Rep. Keith and General Hyzer of the Corps of Engineers. After careful consideration we asked the Corps of Engineers to give further consideration to their decisions. Our request re- sulted in a study made by the Tidal Hydraulics Committee con- sisting of the leading engineers in the United States. The I study has not been completed at this time. The investigation however proved the wisdom of delaying plans that were in operation and may be very significant to Orleans boat owners in Pleasant Bay in future years. We have asked Congress through Senator Kennedy to provide funds for navigation study of Pleasant Bay authorized in 1960. The Board found it feasible this year to ask for bids for gasoline and oil to operate town owned vehicles. The lowest bid was submitted by Orleans Motors which we anticipate will result in a saving of nearly $1,000.00 to the Town in the first year. In 1964 we plan to study other areas that can reduce costs to the Town. As a result of the conflict of interest law the Park Com- mission was forced to resign. To preserve the continuity of this valuable department the Board appointed themselves as commissioners. In turn the former commissioners were ap- pointed superintendent and deputy superintendents. The de- partment has functioned in a very satisfactory manner and if the voters decide the Selectmen shall act as park commis - sioners we no doubt will carry on as we are at present. 13 Due to the increased work load caused by new functions assigned to the Town accountant we found it necessary to assign Mrs. Smith to assist him. This arrangement has been satisfactory to the Town and will necessitate addition of a new clerk in the Selectmen's office. The Board of Selectmen in cooperation with the Plan- ning Board, the Waterways Improvement Committee and Shellfish Advisory Committee are investigating the need of acquiring additional lands for the benefit of the Town re- garding beaches, Town Landings and roads. A continuing effort will be made to acquire additional land for our future needs. The Board has been closely following the progress of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad property in Or- leans and have requested that -the railroad give us first re- fusal on the purchase of its property in Orleans in the event that it becomes available. We have this year increased the facilities available to the commercial fishing fleet by supplying them with electric out- lets and have plans to supply them with town water. We gave the charter fleet permission to erect a sales booth which enabled them to increase their business considerably this year. We have included in our 1964 budget an amount to speed up the definition of town roads. The reason for this is to lay out all roads possible before land titles become more compli- cated and expensive. The Board reviewed the Town insurance program again this year and you should know that we have a very compre- hensive plan with one hundred per cent replacement cover- age by blanket policies on buildings, equipment and liability. The equipment and building policies require safety inspec- tions four times a year by our fire chief and an annual in- ventory to the Town accountant. These are carried out and result in substantial savings to the Town. We have spent considerable time studying the Evans re- port which proposes rather drastic changes in the operation of the Town. While we realize that changes will occur as the Town grows we do not feel that the present proposal is going to be the best manner to meet our future needs. When we contemplate changing the form of our govern- ment we must take into consideration what we can expect from our government and what the obligations of our elected 14 and appointed servants are. Most important is that our offi- cials respect the rights of each person guaranteed by our chosen form of government, not favoring one group above another and insisting that our laws apply equally to each per- son. The full time Board of Selectmen who are available each day to discuss your problems and resolve them in a fair man- ner is a privilege you have chosen for yourself in past years. It is not prudent to remove the people responsible for ensur- ing your rights by law to a part time basis where your prob- lems are considered once a week. Neither is it wise to sup- pose that a part time board sitting at its weekly meeting should be expected to have the personal knowledge of town affairs that the present full time officers have. As previously mentioned in our report we agree that cer- tain consolidation will be of value to the Town. This year we recommend that the Selectmen acct as Park Commissioners. We also believe that the present Water Commissioners should be allowed to continue in office for the present time. They have had a difficult job to do and we congratulate them for the manner in which they represent the Town —at least allow the present board time to complete their job. As chan- ges occur in the operation of the water department we will propose consolidation for the voters consideration and have some concrete reasons for the same. For the reason that our present Highway Surveyor is a most capable, industrious and dedicated public official we ask you to continue to elect him to his duties. The Board must commend Mr. Mayo for his excellent cooperation with all town departments and we do not believe a change in form will benefit the Town one iota. Again as time goes on and situations arise that indicate the wisdom of having the Board of Selectmen act as Road Commissioners we will propose such changes for your approval. (We wish to commend the Highway Department for the remarkable job done eliminat- ing the snow in the center of Town on the weekend before Christmas. We convey the thanks of the business community.) We believe that our present Tree Warden is well qualified and also a dedicated Town official. The Board of Selectmen in the best interest of the Town would appoint the same man if we are directed by the voters to appoint this office. The proposal that the Board of Selectmen have expan- ded duties and reponsibilities is a clever attempt to make the voter believe that we will continue to have the same 15 form of government. This is not true. The part time Board of Selectmen cannot properly represent their people, cannot participate in group meetings nor can they devote the time necessary to representing their Town at County and State Wide obligations. This is proven by part -time boards in other communities. This is not an assumption made by gazing into the future. Under our present organization decisions affecting your health, your welfare and even picayune problems which are important to you are discussed and solved now and not re- ferred to a meeting " to be held next week ". We again wish to thank all departments and personnel for their cooperation through the year and their continuing efforts to make our Town a model community. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR R.

ARTHUR R. FINLAY RICHARD H. ADAMS GASTON L. NORGEOT Selectmen of Orleans A true copy. Attest: Constable 39 Report of the Assessors The Board of Assessors, realizing that substantial but greatly varied changes had taken place in land values since 1954, the year of the original land revaluation, asked for and received approval of an appropriation to bring these values up to date, this to be done by a private appraisal company. After interviewing a number of representatives of appraisal companies, we contracted with the New England Survey Service, Inc. of Boston to make a completely new study of Orleans land values for the sum of $5,000.00. We are unable to estimate, at this time, the increase in total land values, but it will be substantial and will have the effect of holding down or reducing the tax rate. In addition we anticipate our normal gain in valuation due to new con- struction, which has the effect of offsetting the impact of in- creased appropriations. The appraisal company's work has been completed and we are in the process of preparing the final individual values for 1964. In 1964 we are obligated to pay $63,700.00 interest on the Water Bond Issue, the same as in 1963. The first payment on the bonds is due in 1965. We list below comparative figures, demonstrating the pro- cedure in arriving at the tax rate each year: 1962 1963 Total appropriation to be raised by taxation $716,342.36 $832,129.92 Total appropriation from avail- able funds 39,132.94 49,100.00 $755,475.30 $881,229.92 Deficit Accounts Court Judgments $10,000.00 State Parks and Reservations 2,148.74 1,970.79 Mosquito Control 7,096.28 14,499.85 state Audit 5.76 1,055.08 County Tax 61,867.10 59,825.28 Kunty Retirement 6,487.35 7,643.72 Ir 40 Overlay 8,862.90 4,617.16 Town Group Insurance 5,400.00 6,500.00 93.68 State Assessment System Receipts & Available Funds $275,144.53 Gross Amount to be raised $856,843.43 $977,974.87 Total Estimated Receipts & Available Funds $ 275,147.53 $314,785.92 Net amount to be raised by Tax- Assessed Value of Cars $1,327,320.00 $1,580,820.00 ation on Polls & Property 581,695.90 663,188.95 Assessed Value Real Estate 26,955,735.00 28,557,105.00 Assessed Value Personal Estate 2,043,960.00 2,206,720.00 Total Assessed Valuation $28,999,695.00 $30,763,825.00 School Tax 9.59 per M 9.68 per M All Other 10.41 per M 11.82 per M Total Tax Rate 20.00 per M 21.50 per M School Percentage 42.50% 45% All Other 57.5095 55% ESTIMATED RECEIPTS 1962 1963 Reimbursement Sale of High School Chp. 34, Acts of '59 $6,000.00 $3,515.44 Over Estimate County Tax Corporation Tax 23,755.47 39,173.47 28,075.47 48,954.94 Income Tax Motor Vehicle & Trailer Excise 75,000.00 83,849.97 Licenses 10,000.00 75.00 10,024.00 175.00 Fines 66.00 63.75 Library Health and Sanitation 2,300.00 2,963.53 General Government 1,689.00 1,961.11 Charities 13,647.00 11,448.69 Old Age Assistance 14,567.00 Interest on Taxes & Assessments 2,095.00 16,866.63 2,532.14 Old Age Meal Tax 2,190.18 1,816.45 102.00 Interest on Street Light Fund 116.00 Recreation 13,202.00 4,307.00 17,030.00 5,516.31 Veterans' Services School Transportation 17,400.00 15,672.39 State Assistance on School Con- 5,790.62 struction Protection Persons & Property 6,160.00 2,000.00 2,000.00 26.25 Farm Animal Excise 26.00 41 From Available Funds & Over- estimates 39,132.94 52,805.85 Schools 2,083.00 1,110.58 Total Deductions as Estimated Receipts & Available Funds $275,144.53 $314,785.92 Number of Polls Assessed 851 879 Acres of Land Assessed 6,702 6,291 Numbers of Cars Assessed - Excise 2,620 2,607 Assessed Value of Cars $1,327,320.00 $1,580,820.00 Amount of Tax on Cars 80,326.99 84,036.81 Population 1960 Census 2,342 2,342 Respectfully submitted ARTHUR R.

STUDLEY, Chairman Finance Committee Report of the Director of Civil Defense The Orleans Civil Defense Agency has, this year, con- tinued its efforts to provide shelter for everyone in the Town, in the event of nuclear disaster and is able to provide shelter or help to anyone in need in the event of natural disaster. Our fallout shelters are continuously improved sf we acquire more communication equipment, bedding, d and supply storage facilities. Intra - departmental communications have been vastly improved by our addition to the rescue truck, of a base sta- tion. By using the base as relay office, all the Civil Defense provided and other portable two -way radios in various Town departments can be in nearly direct contact with each other during any emergency. With the aid of very willing volunteers, the DUWK and other emergency equipment have been kept in excellent working condition and are on a "stand -by" basis. My very special thanks to my,Deputy, Mr. E. B. Richard- son, who by his devotion and capability, has recently re- ceived citations from both State and Federal Civil Defense Agencies. thanks all MY staff w althOugh always readywhencalled, they may and my thanks to all Town departments with which mine works so smoothly.

FRANCIS I. ROGERS Treasurer The town dump has been cared for in a very efficient manner by Mr. Dennison to whom the contract was awarded in May. At the suggestion of the State Board of Health a new disposal system for sewerage was placed in the town dump. We believe that this will satisfy the Town needs for some time. The usual fine cooperation was received from the County Health Department. Regular inspections were made by the county sanitarian and due to good cooperation of food handling establishments there were no problems presented. We wish to acknowledge the retirement of Dr. Fred L. Moore as County Health Officer. Dr. Moore performed inval- uable service to the town and he will be sorely missed. In be- half of the town we extend our best wishes to Dr. Moore for a happy and healthful retirement. The Board of Health has subscribed to the Cape Cod Community Council in order to be more effective in coping with problems dealing with mental health and allied prob- lems. We also have been active in the Cape Cod Committee on Alcoholism. Routine matters were disposed of with dispatch. Next Year we will investigate the sewerage disposal problems in Orleans and look to the future problems which we will be prudent to study. A plumbing code is required by State Law and will be submitted for your approval. We extend special thanks to our Town Nurses whose splendid work has received many commendations.

Our operating expenses came to $8,532.01, while our income remained at $6,000.00, the same as in previous years. This year we used up the bal- ance of what we had in our Reserve Account and were forced to borrow from our Replacement Funds. This, of course, will have to be replaced during the coming year. All donations and interests that we receive are placed in our special fund for the replacement of the ambulance when necessary. Beginning December 1, 1963, it became necessary to en- gage our driver on a full -time basis. This, of course, will in- crease our expenses considerably during the coming year, however, it does assure the area of continued, excellent service. For the year 1964 it has become necessary for our Asso- ciation to increase our request for operating funds, if we are to continue our high standards of service. Your Ambulance Association stands ready to serve the needs of the area, both day and night. We have a well trained driver and assistant. We find that it will be neces- sary to have additional help to serve on the Ambulance, Particularly during the Summer months. Should any one be interested in serving the community, it is our suggestion that they contact Mr. Urban Livingston or Mr. Robley Fulcher, Sr. These persons will have to be trained in First Aid. Your 56 help is vitally nee ardperformed an excellent job and deserve during the past y a vote of thanks from the communities served. Respectfully submitted, President URBAN S.

This is the function of this Commission but the interest must be expressed in writing to the Commis- sion for action. This year some young women requested softball. They were allowed the use of equipment already owned and granted the use of the Little League Field. When weather became too cold this group requested volley ball and are playing regularly at Nauset Regional High School (janitor's fee being only expense). The men's basketball program came under our juris- diction this Winter —their expenses include referees, jani- tors' fees and insurance. There is also a men's volley ball group meeting weekly with several teams participating. All programs are open to anyone in this area. The other Winter programs for the children include the basketball program for boys at Nauset on Saturday mornings with the girls at the Orleans Elementary School. The group is smaller this year due to other activity Saturday mornings. This Fall soccer was introduced as a Saturday morning Program with Mr. John Donahue and proved popular.

Respectfully submitted, LUCY K. HOPKINS, Secretary Report of the Highway Surveyor To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Highway Department for the year 1983. After the routine early Spring maintenance the first project undertaken by the Highway Department along with the Park Department was the improving of the parking and bathing area at Pilgrim Lake, which helped to eliminate the unsatisfactory condition at Crystal Lake. New signs and posts were erected in the various parts of Town. Under the sealcoating program the following roads were treated: Beach Road, Barley Neck Road, Monument Road, Defiance Lane, Bridge Road, Portanimicut Road and part of hock Harbor parking area. year Eldredge Circle was added to our Highway System this Drainage problems were corrected on Locust Road, Duck Hole Road and at the Rock Harbor parking area. Due to the early snow, Pine Ridge Road and Briar Spring Road will be corrected in the early Spring. Resurfacing was accomplished on a section of Main Street, Samoset Road, Duck Hole Road, Nauset Heights Road and around the Bulkhead at Rock Harbor. Now that most Of the water mains are laid, the resurfacing program should be greatly increased. In closing I wish to thank the various Town Officials and the voters for the many courtesies extended me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, 6. FREDERICK G.

All buoys, docks and floats were taken in last fall and will be painted and reconditioned for use this spring. It is hoped that the River Landing dock and float set -up will be improved in 1964 also it is in the plan to relocate the Town Cove dock to the area adjacent to the Orleans Inn property. And to alleviate the growing cngestion at the River possibly a dock and float at the Barley Neck Road Landing on Meetinghouse Pond.

STOWE, Chairman 65 Report of the ' Town Counsel To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of my activities as Town Counsel for the year 1963. I have been consulted by and have advised virtually all Town department officers and committees during the course of the year. I have appeared in the Superior Court and the District Court and attended meetings and hearings in connection with the National Park in behalf of the Town. I wish to take this opportunity to suggest that the citi- zens of the Town consider most carefully all the ramifica- tions of the proposed changes in the form of Town govern- ment. I do not believe that the legal position of any citizen will be affected to any significant degree if such changes are adopted. The rights, duties and privileges of the citizens will not be altered as regards their individual capacities. How- ever the proposed system does constitute a delegation of au- thority and the concentration of power in an individual. This amounts to an abdication, in part, of the duty that every citizen has under our form of government, to control our government. If our present government is inefficient, and that has yet to be shown, the decision will have to be made as to whether, greater efficiency is desirable for effi- ciency's sake—is it worth while to give up a measure of control for a promise of efficiency? There are once again numerous changes in the Town zoning code that merit careful consideration. MY activities in behalf of the Water Commissioners are covered by their report.

This Committee, though functioning only during the latter part of the year, has achieved much success from their early efforts. Primarily concerned in the guidance of architectural standards in the business areas of the town, their suggestions have been well accepted by the town as a whole and readily adopted in actual new construc- tion in most every instance. We wish to take this opportunity to congratulate them on the fine work which they are do- ing to make the Orleans business community more attractive. We solicit your consideration of the By -Law amendments which have been proposed and which will be submitted for adoption at our Annual Town Meeting in 1964. We seek in 1964 your support of our proposal that a Com- prehensive Planning Study be initiated forthwith. The Plan- ning Board has enjoyed the cooperation of other town offi- cials and boards for many years. This has resulted in actions taken by these groups and our voters which have successfully stemmed the tide of destructive development trends appar- ent in many resort communities today. We submit that growing influences beyond our control now lead us to recom- mend a general comprehensive study of the economic, social and cultural climate and prospects of our town on which to base the goals we set for our future development. We are anxious to learn of suggestions which you may have and welcome you at our meetings which are now held every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30 P.

As the season opened, there were some scallops, but the drags filled up so fast with the wool grass that it was not practical to fish commercially. yetiClam propagation continued this year with good sets of in 11108t areas. While most of our residents can harvest bucket of clams as desired, there are not the areas of 72 concentrated legal size clams that appeared three years ago, but we also note that the number of permits have in- creased about 50 17o. In 1960 a total of 1,082 permits were sold, in 1963 a total of 1,566 permits were issued. This year, a 150 foot of boil- dozing was accomplished also about 100 cu. Yards of just to the north of Asa' Landing, coarse sand was spread at Asa's Landing over a soft unpro- ductive area. It is Pleasing to note that this area caught a set of clams this season. A total of 520 bushels of Quah.aug seed was transplanted from the deep waters of Pleasant Bay to the shallow areas of the Town. Two closed areas were opened this year where quahaug seed from past years had been planted. One area was at Meetinghouse Pond, which would be classified as a knee -deep scratching area, and the other area was at Asa's Landing which was dry digging. Both .areas had a heavy concentra- tion of quahaugs as well as an amazing number of permit holders arriving to harvest their quotas. The largest crowd, at one time, at Asa's Landing was 83. Propogation and patroling are becoming a bigger prob- lem each year. It is just not possible for one Constable to do a complete job of patroling every productive area we have, and still carry out a Propogation program. For example last Spring, at Snow Shore landing, there was a good supply of diamet seed quahaugs between one and two inches This Fall er, and a while this area was checked almost daily, small percentage remain. The shellfish industry of our town plays a very important part, to both our Summer visitors and ourselves, and serious thought should be given to its management and future ex- pansion. We wish to express our thanks to the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens and visitors for their cooperation this past year.

This is that report. The approach to the problem was based on a step by step procedure as follows: 1. What function should the Police and Fire facility fill? 2. Does the present facility fill these needs? 3. If not adequate, what is the advisability of remodel- ling, do we need new facilities, what are the pro - jected future needs? At present the town has the following fire and rescue equipment: one "F.W.D." Pumper one boat and trailer one "Buffalo" Pumper one Rescue Truck one patrol truck County Brush Breaker one jeep A future consideration is the housing of the three town ambulance. This department .anticipates that beyond this ma- jor equipment no new pieces should have to be provided for in a central station. As the town grows, future requirements would be met by sub - stations. A station should house this equipment with adequate provision for rapid access; it should provide for space in which to repair it and provide storage for attendant accessories, as First Aid supplies, cloth- ing, spare parts, hose drying, etc. Within the station, office space for records and administration is a necessity.

NORGEOT 77 Report of the Communication Center To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: We hereby submit our report for the Communication Center for the year ending December 31, 1963. The Communication Center has been operating since April 1, 1963 on a basis of three eight hour shifts, twenty -four hours a day as provided by a vote of the town during our Iast town meeting Mrs. Lillian C. Stewart and Mrs. Mildred M. Kingley are dividing the 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. or day shift, Mr. George R. Bridgewood is working the 4 P.M. to 12 Midnight or middle shift and Mr. James E. Nickerson is working the 12 Midnight to 8 A.M. or late shift. Mr. Edward C. Pike is working the day off, holiday and vacation coverage. In March of 1964, the Communication Center will be faced with the problems created by the new dialing system. In an effort to help facilitate this change, we intend to in- stall an "emergency" telephone at the Communication Cen- ter which is to be used for "in- coming" emergency calls only. In fact, it is so arranged that it isn't possible to use this tele- phone to make an "out- going" call from the Communication Center. When the time comes and -this telephone is put into service, you will be given exact instructions as to its use. An- other facility which will aid the dispatcher with the new telephone dial service is a "card caller" index where all im- portant telephone numbers are kept on pre- punched cards. With this index on hand, a dispatcher, instead of dialing a number by hand, will insert the pre - punched card, which is Identified as the telephone number of the person wanted, such as a doctor, and the mechanism contained in the tele- phone will automatically dial the number, eliminating hu- man error. This will prove invaluable during the time of an ernergency, We wish to thank the dispatchers, the Board of Select- men and the citizens of the town for the cooperation exten- ded to the Carnrnunication Center during the past year.

The successes gained are attributed mainly to the dedication toward duty, of concientious officers, applying intelligent police practices. As the town grows, the problems dealt with by the police department grow, too A few years ago, two officers and one cruiser handled almost any situation that arose in the town. Last summer, it was necessary to use three and four officers with two -cars most of the time, and on one isolated occasion, it took twenty -five officers, five cruisers and a school bus to relieve a situation. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." An investment in a few officers to police an organized beach Party is worth the saving of twenty -five officers and a cost in an excess of $300.00 for one incident. This statement is in support of the proposals and plans to participate in pro- grams directed at the hours, during the summer, when trouble, in the form of disturbances usually occur. All these efforts should be explored to the utmost. I also urge the adoption of a number of by -laws at our next annual town meeting directed at the disturbances caused by a mis -use of 80 liquor by both adults and persons under twenty -one yea rs in reg- public places around the town. We are also planning ister all transient help this summer in an affort to identify these people for many reasons. All these preventative meas- ures are good and must be taken in order to prevent the cost- ly police investigations and resultant unfavorable publicity which is certainly not in the best interest of the town. During the past year, I have been a member of a com- mittee that has been studying the future housing revealed ments of the Police Department. This study has how very inadequate the present facilities are and how important it ;is to arrive at a solution that will adequately satisfy the present and future needs of the department but will also keep the expense to establish .a suitable facility within reason. Over the years, the Police Department has been opera- ting with one cruiser and when the occasion called for it, the Chief's car was used as a cruiser for which the Chief was paid a car allowance. Situations that would make it neces- sary to place the Chief's car into service as a cruiser would be: (a)period when equipment from a last year's i cruise was being changed over to a new cruiser (b) cruiser lettered (c) cruiser out of service for repairs (d) cruiser radio failure (e) cruiser out of town for invest cruiseio r rranspo k up a prisoner in another town or state cruiser )transporting prisoner arrested person to lock -up (g) to court or to other institutions such arisporta lone of female tion or State Institutions, (11) transportation osite sex or prisoners or juveniles separate from the opp adults (i) routine summer patrols. In the beginning, this system was adequate in that a computation of figures derived from mileages expense, ate el %a it was found that the department needed app to 11/2 cruisers and the Chief's car filled the need. However, after the last two years, and due to an increase in summer night activities when Chief's car was used at least eight hours each night for the ten week period which is in additi °!1 to the increase of all the other conditions under which the Chief's car is used, has made it impractical for the Chef nd any other Officer to provide a car to be used as a s Chief cruiser. It is basically the above facts that caused the to discuss the matter in detail with the Selectmen 1 aeta e decision made after investigation of the matter to op lee de• article in our next town meeting to provide the p partment with two cruisers. 81 I wish to thank the members of my department, the Board of Selectmen, all the department heads and the citi- zens of the town for the cooperation extended to my depart- ment during the year. Respectfully submitted, CHESTER A. LANDERS Chief of Police Report of the Board of .Appeals To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: The Orleans Board of Appeals held a total of twenty -five public hearings for the year 1963. Nine hearings were held under the Orleans Protective By- Laws for variances with seven being granted and two being denied. Sixteen hearings were held under the permissive use with thirteen being granted and three being denied. This has been a comparatively quiet year for the Board of Appeals.

SPARROW Report of the Registrars of Voters To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Orleans: The year ending December 31, 1963 once again proved that the greatest single task for the Registrars was the an- nual listing of all persons, 20 years of age or older, who claimed their legal residence January 1, 1963 in Orleans. The Registrars were assisted in this listing by Mrs. Ruth E. Ire- land and Mrs. Helen B. Toomey. So many persons were away from their homes during January, February and March that many revisits were necessary. Such absence made it neces- sary to write 166 letters, containing 253 forms, requesting the required information. Replies were received from many states and a few foreign countries —from persons who wished to continue their residences in Orleans, or had taken them elsewhere. Final tabulation by the Registrars listed 889 men and 1,060 women for a total of 1949 legal residents 20 years of age or snore. Other letters and notices —about new or for- mer residents of Orleans —were sent to officials of other towns, or to questionable voters. The Registrars must again call attention to savings in time and money which could be made if persons, planning to be out of town during January and February, would notify the > vegist ars of Voters before leaving town or after their arrival at winter vacation spots. Also, it would help the Reg- istrars if residents would give notice in writing when taking ()rlealls as their new residence or when moving to take resi- de"Ce elsewhere. .r - - - -1 - - - .. . - + 84 Several sessions were held during 1963 —to certify names on nomination papers —in February, for the March Election; to register voters, February 9 and 19, p receding the Town Meeting and Election; for certifying names on appli- cations for absentee ballots, in February and March, prior tno the Town Election. Also, a hearing was held May sider some questionable voters and the Registrars voted to remove 4 men and 3 women voters and two non - registered, but previously listed, persons as they had taken residence elsewhere. Because of several petitions for referendums cir- culated, the Registrars were -called to certify names of signers 8 times in August, September, October and November. Listing for the Board of Assessors, the Registrars found a total of 382 dogs owned by 342 Orleans residents. females• Be- sides included 203 males, 56 females and 123 spayed sides these, two residents had kennel licenses. The Board of Assessors and Chief of Police were furnished lists of the dogs and their owners, prepared by the Registrars. Being an off -year, only 6 men and one woman voter changed their political party designations during 1963. There were 45 men and 52 women added to the voting list. Card notices were sent to the Registrars of Voters of 32 towns where 50 of the new Orleans voters were previously regis- tered. Because of marriage, 8 women were removed from the voting list at the end of the year. Death took 15 men and 14 women, 19 men and 13 women took their residences else- where and 4 men and 3 women were removed for other reasons. Total registration, as of December 31,1963 was as follows: Republicans Democrats Undecl red Total 771 Men 492 41 918 Women 612 47 259 1 1,104 8g 497 1,689 The Registrars wish to thank the Town Clerk for his year -round assistance, and all other town officials whose co- operation with the registrars' work is instrumental in help- ing Orleans to operate effeiently. Respectfully submitted, ADELBERT A. CHILDS, Ch airm�t' IRENE M. MCCOUBREY LLOYD E. STJCKNEY [.IV Report of Waterways Improvement Committee Mr. Howard Rogers and Mr. Philip Deschamps were ap- pointed to the committee to bring the committee to full strength and the following actions undertaken. During the past year there has been installed a boat launching ramp at the Town Cove at Jeremiah's Gutter and with the cooperation of the Highway Department the park- ing area has been improved at that location. A new bulkhead has been installed at the end of Port - animicut Road on Eli's Creek. At this writing work on the bulkhead has not been completed but will be ready for early spring use. The parking Jot will be filled and facilities at this location will be complete. Once again there has been a remarkable increase in the use of our waterways and there is consequently a continued need for improvement of the facilities to allow our citizens access to the water. Therefore our committee has recom- mended that the selectmen lay out as town landings in- creased areas at River Road and Kescayogansett Pond (Lon - nie's Pond). The Committee also has inserted articles in the warrant to rebuild the pier at River Road and to install a new pier at the Jeremiah's Gutter Town Landing. We urge all of the boating public to increase their at- tention to the safety rules and regulations for the opera- tion of boats upon our waterways. Boating accidents are be- Coming more frequent. Do not spoil your recreation by care- lessness. Do not spoil anybody else's by thoughtlessness. Par - ticularly attention to motor boat speed in restricted areas Is a necessity. Excessive wake not only causes injury to others and their property but damage to shoreline bank and ac- celerates the shoaling of channels. As a result of extensive negotiations between the Board of selectmen, the Corps of Engineers and our congressional delegates, the committee is pleased to advise the town that the President's 1965 fiscal year budget includes $21 00o.00 for the survey Of pleasant Bay by the Array Engineers.

The greater part of the laying of the mains, under the original contract, was completed around the first of March, When the house services installations began The mains were chlorinated in May, and after a three - day minimum period of retention, they were samples of the water sent to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for testing. On June 18 the report came back, stating that the water was . . . "in each case, free of bacteria characteristic of pollution and safe for drinking.- ... Then began the mass installation of meters in the Boo homes where water was desired, and the meter installations were completed about July 25th. On February 13 a special meeting was held at the Water Dept. Office for all plumbers and interested persons. This gave those who had questions, concerning the installations, connections and general water system, an opportunity to bring them out in the open and discuss them. It was well at- tended and, we believe, a help to all concerned. On April 15 the temporary turbine pump was removed and the Water Department was operating on its own pumps. On May I Richard W. J. L,apre was employed on a full - time basis to help Mr. Peterson. Mr. Joseph Hayes, of the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association of Boston, was in town on August 19 and 20, making fire flow tests and general survey of the system, copies of the results having been left at the Water Dept.

People with any interest in land now in the Watershed Area are here reminded that the deadline for asking for jury assessment of their damages on account of the taking is August 1, 1964. If you have any questions please contact the Water Department before that time." Special thanks and appreciation is extended to Mr. Jack Mahoney, Resident Engineer for Whitman & Howard of Boston, for his untiring efforts to see that we had the best possible water system for our money, and for his instruc- tion to our personnel who would have the responsibility for the operation of this system after he was no longer in town. We wish to extend our appreciation for the help and cooperation given by other Water Departments on the Cape, and especially to Messrs, Barker and Gardner, Superintend- ents of the Dennis and Harwich Water Departments, for their continued help to us in getting our department on an operating basis. Many telephone calls for advice or informa- tion have been made, and such help given with courtesy and genuine concern. We are grateful to all of them. Appreciation is also• extended to the Fire, Highway, Police and Park Departments, to the Tree Warden, the Massa - cilusetts Department of Public Works, the Orleans Com- munication Center, all personnel at the Town Office Build- ing, and all others who have been so cooperative in time of need. This is your Water Department and we are partic- ularly grateful for this display of cooperation when emer- gencies have occurred and all pitched in to help, We wish to take this opportunity to thank all citizens for their patience and cooperation, during the installation Of this water system, and for their promptness in reporting leaks or dangers. Your Commissioners and employees of the Water De- Prtalent are very proud to have had a part in the establish- ing of this water system in the Town of Orleans, and we Pledge our best to you in efficiency, courtesy and concern.

The sum of Two Hundred thirty - one ($231.00) dollars was spent for this purpose and resulted in many inquiries. We answered all inquiries by sending bro- chures and a personal letter. Seven dollars was spent to buy material for a new town flag. We have a handsome flag made possible by the efforts of Elizabeth Smith, Mary Lou Delano, Edward J. Smith and Richard Fulcher. Fifty dollars was spent on telephone calls to a Boston weather station from which the town receives its reward in television advertising.

First was the re- tirement after seventeen years of dedicated service of Miss Ruth Barnard, the librarian. There ensued p ess onal librarian. intensive search for a new, full -time, p ointment of The search culminated successfully in the app Mrs. Sylvia Jacobs who came to us in September after a number of years of successful librarianship in several small Massachusetts communities. Second was the resignation of Mr. Harry Snow as a trus- tee and chairman of the Board of the library for over forty years. Mr. Snow gave unstintingly of his time, his labor, and his love to the library which bears his family name. Such devotion will not soon be forgotten. The library has embarked on a stepped up program of book selection and buying. The goal of the Trustees is the establishment of Snow Library in the forefront of small pub- lic libraries in Massachusetts. Orleans is not only an ex- panding community; it is one of extraordinary intellectual interest. It must be the prime purpose of the library to be able to satisfy the intellectual needs of the entire com- munity from the youngest to the oldest. It is the belief of the Trustees that before we can demand the fullest measure of support from the community, we must give ample evidence of policies and programs which will invite that support. As evidence that the community is looking to the library is the fact that during the last four months of the year 37% of the town's population availed itself of the library facili- ties. Only recently, the Cape Codder commended the library for "the great job" it is doing. We will strive to be worthy! MARY LOU DELANO S.

This was necessary to meet the demands of certain wage earners of the Town that they be paid weekly. Weekly payment of wages, when so requested, is mandatory under Section 148 of Chapter 149 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth. To meet the requirements of this law, we have set the work week as ending at midnight each Saturday. The hours worked by each employee are reported to us on Mondays and the workers receive their pay each Thursday for the previous week. Current bills, if approved and presented on Mondays, are paid on Thursdays, also. We are continuing to put out a warrant on the 15th and last day of each month. This is to cover the school payrolls, charity and Veterans Benefits payrolls and other payments required to be made on those dates. This means that we now are putting out six or seven pay warrants each month com- pared to two each month prior to 1961. The new Personnel By -Law, with its many different rates of pay for workers and varied provisions concerning overtime, vacations and holidays has made the preparation of payrolls much more complex. The responsibility for preparing these; payrolls in conformance with the provisions of the By -Law has been delegated to the Accounting Department. It can be easily understood that the adoption of the weekly pay schedule and the preparation of the payrolls, coupled with other added accounting procedures recently . delegated to us, has greatly increased the work load in this department. Your Accountant, who had been working to the limit of his ability, was unable to absorb these added duties and it became necessary for him to have a full -time helper' to assist him in carrying out the duties of his office.

Miss Hebden's 218 curriculum in the elementary school "is based upon the assumption that art at this level is merely a means of ex- pression." Each child creates and expresses himself in his work. Miss Hebden's Art classes are very happy periods. Our school library now has over 2,000 volumes and it is growing each year. We gratefully acknowledge the gift from the Citizens for Public Schools of approximately $135.00 worth of books for the Orleans School Library. Mrs. Quinn, our part -time librarian, who was on duty last Summer for two hours on two days each week, reported an increase in Summer borrowing over previous years. Orleans children with possible speech problems were screened this year and parents were notified of the results. Children with reading difficulties were tested and materials were made available to parents who requested them. School field trips in 1963 visited locally the Telephone Company, the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank and the Eastham Forge and Old Mill. Other classes journeyed to the Plimouth Plantation in Plymouth, the Walter P. Chryslei Art Gallery in Provincetown, and the Science Museum and Planetarium and Arnold Arboretum in Boston. We are continuing our policy of making available to our teaching staff study courses that particularly fill the needs of our own school system. In June, 1963, our teachers were offered a one week's Art work shop led by Miss Hebden. It was enthusiastically received. At the end of August we co- sponsored with the Science Research Associates, Inc., a five -day Reading In- stitute given by Miss Gwen Horsman, Supervisor of Read- ing in the Detroit Public Schools. Miss Horsman, served on the Conant Committee for Reading and has conducted many Reading Institutes throughout the nation. This Institute was open to educators outside of our own school system. It was extremely well attended and the consensus of opinion was that it was most worthwhile. This Fall our teachers have been attending an inservice training program on the "New Math." They are using up to date text and work books and viewing a television program on Channel 2 which supplements the text material. In- formation and skills thus learned are being used in the classroom, and the results are most gratifying to teacher and pupil. The Committee working on the formation of School Board policies has been busy this year. Five of its proposed 219 Policies have been tee.

I consider that significant steps toward the improve- ment of education in our school are the result of the plan- ning and arranging of these activities by Barbara Wright, the support and encouragement of them by the Committee, and the enthusiastic participation in them by the Principal and teachers. This was the year the United States Supreme Court ruled that it is contrary to the Constitution to use prayers or the Bible for devotional purposes in the public schools. Whether or not we agree with the Court's decisin, we have accepted its authority. And, lest anyone fear that God has left the classroom, let me hasten to point out that, there as�ye Land and His spirit is revealed in human values, always will be time and place for God in the classrooms of our schools. We still have a few minutes at the beginning of the day to use ever greater engefupongour teacher than is in the use made of this opportunity to to och e h hers Of love, integrity, brotherhood and the many human literature art) and found ages.

The opening exercises have be- come less routine and much more varied with the readings from many types of literature and a silent seconds when everyone thinks his own though s. E en before lunch many classes pause while each is thankful in his own sixty heart for his daily bread. So when one door is closed another is opened. Ten members of the teaching staff were participants in the reading workshop abI conducted by man during the last week in August. We receive d e courage and strength from Miss Horsman's philosophy of life as well as reassurance that our efforts exemplify our philosophy to a high degree, then we gleaned many practical ideas to fur- ther implement present practices. This gave us a feeling of happy anticipation for the school year ahead. On September fourth 282 children greeted a faculty of v een. Every classroom seventeen more is now occupied. At this writing seven pupils have come to us. Forty_nine of our total number are in the kindergarten. Mr Jones moved to Holbrook Junior High School so Mr. Hagenbuckle moved into a fifth grade class. Mrs. Jones moved into grade six to work With Mr. Kolodzik and Mrs. Edith Stephanz came to teach the other fifth grade class. Mrs. 'Virginia Lennox came to teach the fourth grade made vacant when Mr. le moved. We now have two teachers at each grade level, with an average teacher load of twenty -one this is ideal in the sense that each student lrece`ved instth t tion at his ability IeveI and moves at a speed which meets 224 his needs. Let us not forget that the speed will vary with a child's readiness, interest, and drive for each experience. The groupings are very flexible. In order to better service the individual child an attempt to departmentalize the social studies and science classes has been made in grades four, five, and six. In this kind of s ell ganizatiOn Specifically in grade four, swhi of hl is the first t ol e can make f the inter- mediate grades, we have departmentalized in science, hand- writing, and music. Mrs. Skinner who finds musi fi c and hand- writing enjoyable teaches both groups in those areas while Mrs. Lennox teaches the science to both groups. All teachers teach the reading and arithmetic skills, but exchange groups. That is each teacher teaches reading to her home room group then the two groups within the grade change rooms for arithmetic instruction. This allows ability grouping within the grade which means that every child re- ceives instruction where he can perform according to his ability to grasp the material, in grades five and six the language arts, social studies, science, and art classes anelae- partmentalized. The lady teacher instructs a group guage arts while the man teacher instructs the other group in social studies and science. The rigidity of schedule as compared to he flat most flex- ibility of the self- contained classroom is probably objectionable aspect of departmentalization from a teacher's point of view. Both pupils and teachers are pleased with the changing of classes. This type of organization gives the stu- 1 responsibility in learning dent an awareness of his persona to organize himself. It gives the teacher a guide for balance in the various aspects of the curriculum as an equal amount be of time is scheduled ea�hisfelt we have taken step in the taught. At this writing the way l right direction and ironed out on the spot as they have occurred. have been In the spring of 1963 the American Book Company held s workshop in i HYThQ e materials seemedlto revised what we series in reading• had been looking for.

The possibility of a Pilot Program in that grade was carefully explored and finally ac- cepted for the school Year 1963 - This ati ee and Chet ad- agreement between the company representloan of te ministration ete set of books from Septembers first toe the followhngculy p 225 first when the books will either be returned or purchased. It has now been recommended that we purchase the program for grade six then to purchase the same program for grade five to begin in September 1964. This program is planned with practical ways for helping poor, average, and fast readers within a grade. The material helps a child develop interests which are satisfied through the use of his developing reading - study skills. It helps the student acquire needed phonic and other word - learning skills then to use them automatically as well as helping the child mature in his use of thinking and comprehension abilities needed to solve problems and gain satisfaction from reading -study activities. Skills are intro- duced one at a time and there is provision for gradual growth. The ultimate goal as in any reading program is for indepen- dent reading with all the skills necessary to solve life's prob- lems and to read for pleasure. Illness caused us to postpone open house in our cafeteria until the first week in November. One hundred fifty parents responded. This made all the extra work worthwhile. National Education Week was observed at the Elementary Building with a special invitation to parents to visit their child's class on Wednesday, November 13th. Again the re- sponse was rewarding. There seems to be a sad note to the open houses. There are too often a few pupils in our classes Who are wistful and crestfallen because no one cared enough to -visit them. The visit means a great deal to the primary child and all children are winners when the home and school are in harmony which means a parent will get to school without being called by the school. It always has been the Policy of our public schools to invite parents to visit sessions and we trust it always will be even though the policy may be spelled out in writing in the near future. One thing we must bear in mind, namely: that education is big business. Whenever a cIass is disturbed by a visitor the situation be- comes an audience situation and children learn best in the routine and normalcy of a school day. We aim for a mini- mum of one visit by every parent in our school population. In order to maintain a well- balanced curriculum, it seems that our elementary schools in this union should have the services of a vocal music teacher. Presently we share a teacher with the regional school. She is able to meet each class in Orleans Elementary School once in two weeks rather than weekly. It seems that vocal music is as important as art or physical education in the curriculum. We are trusting that a vocal teacher for the elementary children, will become a reality by September 1964. 226 This writer envisions a cafeteria separate from the audi- ortunity to torium which will in turn provide needed library space in the not too distant future. This would give equal Opportunity edu- allchildren.

The necessity for providing 227 space is immediate and it is satisfying to know that a com- mittee is being formed to take a serious look at the needs. It is my hope, also, that Eastham will give consideration to planning space for a more functional kindergarten and central library. An evaluation of the effectiveness of participating in 21" Classroom was made at the close of the school year. The teachers throughout the system felt that the programs pro- vided enrichment which could only be obtained through this media, and were unanimous in their desire to continue our membership another year. The broadcast schedule this year has been augmented by the addition of three new programs of particular value. Places in the News, a weekly current events series, highlights important news events and makes more meaningful to intermediate grade children the major issues that shape the news. Wonder of Words — Grades 3 & 4, is a weekly language arts series designed to stimulate the child's interest in the English language, to extend his appre- ciation of its development, beauty, functions, and significance as a tool of learning and a median of communication. Visit- ing New England takes intermediate grade children on field trips of historical and cultural value to places they are cur- rently studying in the social studies program. In addition to the broadcast schedule for pupils an in- service course entitled, Mathematics for Elementary Teach- ers, is being viewed by all but two elementary teachers thru- out the system. Several teachers from Nauset Regional High School are joining us in this course. These half -hour pro- grams are broadcast for a period of sixteen weeks from October through May. Teachers are provided with guides in- cluding reinforcement and follow -up materials which are studied and discussed after each viewing. Each teacher has also subscribed to a Mathematics Ex- tension Course published by Science Research Associates, Inc. This project involved eight monthly units which dovetail in content with the TV course. Both programs are centered around the same key topics which form the core common to all the major modern mathematics programs. Both programs require careful study and preparation for bi- monthly meetings in which the material is discussed and considered. This opportunity to learn through a variety of approaches should prepare us with a qualified background to evaluate materials for adoption of a mathematics program for next year. 228 Teachers who participated Der the M6Ke by Phillips have o in Mathematics conducted by a background which is of great help to those who are being exposed to the new concepts for the first time. in the The folly of adopting a mathematics program elementary grades without a full understanding the teach- elementary of the structure over- o ma mathematics and its inherent relation- ships cannot b teachers have been required to For the past two years of the spend threes days beyond ithes involving cumulative erecords, forming closing time at the registers, report oom teacher for fulleteaching resulted in e freeing the class ravided the time for a close of the school year, and has p more orderly, systematic and accurate ill b pletio u f ainrthe ords.

We are especially pleased to have Mrs. Florence Noyes working on a part -time basis as remedial reading instructor in the WeIlfleet Elementary School. Mrs. Noyes comes to us with years of successful experience in this field and we only regret that the time she has to offer is limited. The Art Workshop conducted by Miss Dorothy Hebden, Art Supervisor for School Union #54, was held the last week in Tune at the Orleans Elementary School. This experience presented an excellent opportunity to gain insight in, and appreciation of, the art work of the elementary school child. The areas covered in the workshop were: I. Characteristics and evaluation of child's art work in re- lation to his growth. 2. Experience in use of all media through participation. 3. Evaluation of the use of materials at grade levels. 4. Figure, space and color concepts. 5. Topics which stimulate creativity at particular grade levels; methods of motivation. It is regrettable that only fourteen teachers from the school system participated, for this was indeed an excellent course. We must not neglect to recognize and foster creative thinking in our youth. Too many of us connect creativity with the arts alone, not realizing that creative thinking has influenced every forward movement of our society. To quote Dr. Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." The Reading Institute conducted by Miss Gwen Horsnlan, Supervisor of Reading in the Detroit Public School System, was held the last week in August at the Nauset Regional School. This institute, co- sponsored by Science Research As- sociate Inc., drew sixty -two participants from all over the United. States, and two teachers travelled from Newfound- land, Canada, to attend. The Lectures presented by Miss Horsman included: 1. Techniques in the Teaching of Reading. 2. Fundamental Principles in the Teaching of Reading. 3. Reading Readiness. 4. Teaching the Basic Reading Skills. 230 5. Basic Reading in the Primary Grades. 6. Ability Grouping. 7. The Place of Reading in the language Arts Program. 3.

Working Massachusetts on March 25, period of projects the twenty -five members of the committee over a months was enlightening as we discussed current p and practices throughout the state. 231 As a member of the General Supervisors of Public Edu- cation of Massachusetts it has been profitable to attend quarterly meetings throughout the State. This is a stimu- lating group whose programs are planned around new fron- tiers in education. The New England Reading Association Conference held at Bretton Woods this fall was a particularly valuable ex- perience. Noted persons who addressed the group included Bennett Cerf, Drew Pearson and John Ciardi. It is a privilege to represent the schools at so many splendid conferences.

During the school year all clinics and tests were carried out. Reports on physical defects were sent home to parents and interviews given to those wishing advice about cor- rections of defects in their children. We wish at this time to thank all who participated in the Orleans Public Health program, for the year 1963.
