We have acted ion all business directed by you through articles at our Town Meeting. Of utmost importance was proposed legislation which would. have put control of Nausea Beach in the hands of he Com- monwealth. We are indebted to the various organizations and many citizens who have joined with us in our successful effort to block this legislation. We received unanimous support from Cape Cod and Island legislators for which we are grateful. We are continuing to watch closely for any attempt to reopen the issue. We are in the process of purchasing four acres of Bog property from Frank Joy which will be dedicated to conserva- tiom We have received and will offer for your acepetance twenty acres of salt marsh given to us to encourage propaga- tion of shellfish, a fine conservation effort. As instructed by the voters at the 1971 annual Town Meeting, the Selectmen have entered into negotiations with the National Park Service to determine the conditions under which the Town.-owned areas of Nauset Beach might be con- veyed to the Park Service. These negotiations are still in the exploration stage. A sub-committee has been appointed to study the feasibility of cooperative management of the area by the Town and the National Park Service. Members of the sub-committee are J. Warren Sampson of Chatham, Paul P. Henson, Jr. of Orleans, and Robert McNeece of the National Seashore Advis- ory Committee and representatives of the Park Service. This committee is to report the initial results of the study to the Selectmen early in 1972. Negotiations will con- tinue and a report with recommendations will be submitted to the voters at a future Town Meeting. We recommend the improvement of bathhouse facilities at Nauset Beach this year as a desirable capital improvement. We anticipate a request next year for substantial investment in the water department for expansion of its facilities as well 13 as additions required by the highway department. We wish to thank the Citizens of Orleans and the various Town departments for their cooperaion and assistance in resolving daily matters. GASTON L. NORGEOT, Chairman DEAN K. HOWERTON PAUL P. HENSON, JR. Report under Article 57 1971 Town Meeting wherein a request was made that the Building Inspector be appointed by the Planning Board. This will necessitate a change in the Building Code By-Law and is not recommended by the Selectmen as the major part of the Building Inspectors duties are not under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board. He is an agent of the Board of Health, is required to make reports to the Board of Assessors, to make inspections in behalf of the Department of Public Safety and make inspections for the Fire Department. We find nowhere in the laws any authority or powers given to the Planning Board to appoint any public official ocher than their own Secretary and therefor doubt that an appointment by the Planning Board would be effective. Also a request was made of the Selectmen to investigate damage to highways by heavy trucks and report on action to prevent future damage. We .found that severest damage was done to older roads especially those of the mixed-in-place type. On newer Type I roads the damage was negligible. Therefor we suggest a continuation of road construction using Type I mix only. Further we have instructed the Police to check that heavy trucks transporting materials of any type are not overloaded. We welcome suggestions to further improve these situations. GASTON L. NORGEOT, Chairman DEAN K. HOWERTON PAUL P. HENSON, JR. 14 Assessors Report Re-evalnation of the Town is proceeding and will be ready by tax billing time in 1972. In 1971 the Town voted funds to put tax bills -on a data processing computer print;-out basis, but the company selected to do the work was going out of business we decided to cancel the contract. The Board of Assessors is most grateful to the Town staff who worked especially hard to get the work done. This also was the reason re-evaluation was not accomplished in 1971 as the coo-ordination of equalized values and billing in the data processing is most important. Essentially reevaluation or "equalized evaluation" is the process of updating assessments to reflect the current market value of real estate. Buildings do not present a particular problem as building costs in 1971 are readily compared to the building costs of 1954. Land values present a more com- plicated problem, however, because land has not increased in market value equally throughout the Town since 1964, the last time land values were equalized. Water front sales indicate value increases of over 400% since 1964. Inland house lots more nearly 100 111o. Business lots 200 to 300%. Building costs only 60%. These values are being determined and entered upron base cards. This is not to say every individual building's assessment is to be increased 60%. Each building is separately assessed, examined, its assessment is refigured and equalized. Those interested persons will like to know that on the basis of building alone their assessments will average 60% higher with a consequent reduction in the tax rate, adjusted to the amount appropriated by Town Meeting action and State and County assessments. Because discrepancy in relative incereases of various types of land values it is impossible to make any flat predictions as to the relative amount of value increase and tax reduction rate on account of land. The tax rate is established as to the relative amount of value increase and tax rate reduction on account of land. The tax rate is established by dividing the total valuation of the Town by the amount of money appropria- ted by the Town to run the Town. Assessment is the process of appraising the real and taxable personal property of the Town in order to establish the tax base. 15 Re-evaluation, the process of equalizing assessments, is meaured, not by opinion, but by the market, by what property is actually selling for, and is required by the constitution of Massachusetts. Full and fair valuation assures that everyone pays his fair share of taxes. No one wants to pay anyone else's taxes, nor will anyone admit he really wants someone else to pay his taxes. Re-evaluation is necessarily painful to some, beneficial to others, but it does assure fairness. PAUL P. HENSON, JR., Chairman GASTON L. NORGEOT DEAN K. HOWERTON REPORT OF THE Board. of Health In compliance with the regulations of the State Department of Public Healh for the operation of a sanitary landfill, we have retained the services of a local firm of engineers to carry out the engineering requirements. Their work is now under way and will continue until the requirements are met. The usual inspection of food serving establishments, restau- rants, day care centers and camps was made by Richard M. Sturtevant, the County Sanitarian. There were a few violations of health regulations reported, all of which were investigated and appropriate action taken when such was indicated. Many tests were made by the Barnstable County Health Department of water from from domestic water supplies and various swimming areas in the Town, and all reported to be approved. DEAN K. HOWERTON, Chairman GASTON L. NORGEOT PAUL P. HENSON, JR. 16 REPORT OF THE Recreation Commission The Orleans Recreation Commission added new dimensions with other towns as well as qualified instruction and a sched- John Freeman. The Director's responsibilities included super- vision of personnel in all of the Commission's spon- sored summer activities„ purchasing budget items and in general be available when quick decisions had to be made. Swimming lessons were offered this year from 9 a. m. to 2 p. xn. This shorter but more cincentrated space of time proved to be more productive as shown by an increase in the number of certificates issued — 204 out of 352 total program participants. Policing the dock area at Pilgrim Lake became much easier since the dock was free from after 2 p. m., leaving the facilities for the older youngsters for their fun and games. The success of the Little League program culminated with the League All Stars winning the Cape Championship for the first time. A word of gratitude must be passed on not just to the winning coaches, Dave Willard and Tom Cronin but to everyone who has helped make this program a success, includ- ing Earl Dunham, Jr. the director, all of the coaches, umpires, statisticians, parents, etc. Of course, throughout the year the Saturday morning pro- grams are popular as ever. With the innovation in the Middle School of a well oganized intramural program fulfilling the need that the need that the Saturday morning programs provided the past few years, a shift in emphasis to competition with other towns as well as qualifie dinstruction and a sched- ule of games within the system, was well received by all. The Orleans Recreation Commission continues in its quest for a well-balanced Recreation program for all 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 suggestions from you, who are the reason there is a Recreation Commission. Respectfully submitted, LEO P. MILLER, Chairman Orleans Recreation Commission 17 REPORT OF THE Board of Fire Engineers To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Orleans: The Board of Fire Engineers respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Fire Engineers for the year 1971.

Stray Dogs 73 Stray Dogs Returned to Owners 67 Stray Dogs Placed in Homes 1 Stray Dogs Put to Sleep 4 Stray Dogs on Hand 1 Number of Complaints Handled 45 (From April 1, 1971 to December 31, 1971) Respectfully submitted, DONALD F. WESTOVER, Agent Animal Rescue League of Boston REPORT OF THE Director of Civil Defense To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Orleans Because of excellent weather conditions, this department had only to attend to general business of the Town's fallout shelters and necessary paper work rof Sector 2C and State level agencies. Respectfully submitted, ERNEST C. BORSO Civil Defense Director 26 Insect Pest Control Report To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Orleans, Massachusetts The gypsy moth infestation was very serious in Orleans for 1971, as anticipated. In 1970, 220 acres of woodlands in the Baker Pond area was infested consisting of all woodlands. In the early spring of 1971, 1200 acres of woodlands were infested. After making all the necessary arrangements for sky spraying, the State Pesticide Board saw fit to put a ban on the sky spraying, lifting the ban after the damage was done, leaving the gypsy moth to propagate and spread over most of Orleans. During the winter scouting we found several areas with an egg count of 31,000 egg masses per acre. Other areas some- what less. On one particular tree a count of 1923 egg masses was retarded. Please note each egg mass has from 300 to 450 eggs. All these gypsy moth egg mass countings were conducted with the district official of he Department of Naural Resources, to make the count official that is required. This department had 412 requests for spraying around homes and businesses. We sprayed some places two and three times. 650 acres of roadside areas with over 36 miles of road. side spraying two sides, sometimes three times in Beverly in- fested areas, using 225 gallons of Sevin, 100 galloons of Meth- oxychlor and 200 lbs, of Dylox, all these insecticdse are of ,low toxity, recomended for gypsy moth control. It does not make much sense when sky spraying would have used only one tenth of the insecticides used from the ground. If we had been allowed in 1971 to sky spray all this infestation would have been under control. I anticipate some 4200 acres of heavy infestation for the ,spring of 1972. We cannot depend upon predators and natural enemies to control gypsy moth caterpillar. Quote 1971 report, "Ecological do-gooders may unwittingly be hindering instead of helping the campaign for environ- mental improvement. Spraying with a low toxic insecticide is one phase of conservation. We cannot depend or expect the natural enemies or predators of gypsy moths for control, as M there ire no known predators in the infested area that are effeetipe r: Dutch Elm, Disease has been worse this past year, with over 30 treks diseased and being removed. This due to the restrict- ing he use of DDT for the control of elm bark beetles, carrier8 of Dutch Elm Disease. The insecticide methxychlor reeOM1111,ended in place of DDT is not effective.

No person is known to have died from DDT moths,t'�r insects, Japanese beetles, tent caterpillars, pine tip were kept under control during gypsy moth spraying, Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLI'VI!ER Insect Pest Superintendent 1 Highway Department To tho "citizens of the Town of Orleans: I Ilex-,eby submit my report of the Highway Department for the year 1971. The 'winter of 1971 started out with much un-needed ice and sn ,w. We :nstalled drainage on Nauset, brick. Hill, 'Snow Shore Roads 4and Doane Way. The following roads were regraded and resurfaced Capt. Linnell, Champlain, "Willie Atwood, Snow gym, ore, Monument and Pine Ridge Lane. Dram gage was installed and the road widened and resurfaced on Ila Wich Road (Rte. 39) uner Chapter 90 Construction. We pla k,1 to complete the job next year with a better approach at the i , tersection of Rte, 39 and 28. Undue x the seal coating program, Greak. flak Rd., Cedar Lane Road a d Doane 'Way were treated. In c1 sing I wish to thank all town officials for their help and co- ., peration, Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G. MAYO Surveyor of Highways 28 REPORT OF THE 'Free Warden. To the Citizens of Orleans: This past year can be recaorded as one of severe draught. At the peak of gypsy moth spraying this department had to apply water artificially to the newly planted young trees. Also watered with liquid fertilizer those larger trees needing a boost against insects and drought. Roadside clearing of interfering trees and brush is being done as time and budget will allow. The most necessary spots are corrected first, step by step as a traffic safety precaution. Vandalism, and car accidents are causing some concern in our tree planting program, but we must keep planting trees. The Town tree department averages about forty tree re- movals consisting of locusts, oaks, and diseased elms. The tree planting program averages about sixty young trees planted. We try to vary the species planted, namely Japanese Zelkova that I believe is the most suitable substitute for the American elm. Highly resistant to Dutch Elm disease, is Hof rapid growth and exceptional hardiness. Also we are planting flowering trees, European lindens and some maples. Any dangerous limbs of trees along road sides were ,removed. All mechanical and other injuries to trees were corrected. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER Tree Warden REPORT OF THE Park. Commission. I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Park Depart- ment for the year of 1971. This year improvements were made at Eldredge Field and Pilgrim Lake with the installation of Rest Room Facilities at both areas, those at Eldredge Field being made possible with matching funds from public-spirited citizens. 29 At both Nauset and Skaket Beaches proper facilities are still not available to meet public demand. The Tennis Courts at Eldredge Field were seal coated and painted this year. We will endeavor to apply another coating in 1972. Income at Nauset and Skaket Beaches were as follows: Parking and Surf tickets and stickers $39,177.00. Concessions $2,700.00. Telephone Commissions $169.62. Beach Buggy per- mits $8,889.00, for a total of $51,330.09. Beach Buggy use report for the season from May 28, to October 12, 8,239 Vehicles. 29,485 persons were checked through the area. Parking areas were filled on nine days. Signs have been posted at these areas; Information Booth, Main Street and Academy Place, Junction of Main Street and Barley Neck Road and Mayo's Farm, to notify persons when areas are filled. Any help or suggestions to improve and beautify our areas from interested Citizens will be greatly appreciated, within the limits of our budgets. Respectfully submitted CLARENCE L. VANASSE Superintendent REPORT OF THE Conservation Commission No additional land was acquired in 1971 for conservation purposes. We are however submitting to the 1972 Annual Town Meeting a request to authorize the purchase of an additional 1.38 acre parcel of land adjacent to conservation land owned by the Town on Pilgrim Lake. The state legislature strengthened the Hatch Act in 1971. The revised Act now will require the Conservation Commis- sion to hold hearings where filling or dredging of inland swamps or waterways is contemplated. The restrictions of the Coastal Wetlands Act have not as yet been applied but the state expects the order protec- ting the coastal wetlands of Orleans to be issued in the spring of 1972. 30 Nineteen .seventy-one was a year of several interesting hearings. Among the most important, were the hearings in Boston on legislation proposed by the Massachusetts Beach Buggy Association for the state to take over Nauset Beach, and the hearing in Orleans held by the Department of Natural Resources in connection with protection of coastal wetlands in Orleans under the Coastal Wetlands Act. The Beach Buggy bill was placed in a study csnvmittee but must be carefully watched. Its passage would mean the ulti- mate destruction of Nauset Beach. We feel that strong protective measures should be taken py the Town to preserve and protect Nauset Beach against damage by over-use and damaging uses of all kinds. Evidence is mounting to prove that land kept in open space �s one -of the best ways to keep local taxes from rising so steeply. MALCOLM M. DIC'KINSON Chairman REPORT OF THE Shellfish Warden and Harbor Master At Rock Harbor the repair work on the docks is progressing very well and will be completed before boating season starts in the spring. Boating this year got off to a good start beginning in late May to July, but fell uff about 35 to 40°/a in August and September. About the only thing that was running in August and September were the Bass and Flounder fishermen. The bull rakers in Big Pleasant Bay had a good year. Prices were up and the weather was good all season. Scallop season started out very poor due to the hot summer, but got better as the season moved on. Scallops were dis- covered in Cape Cod Bay in late November. Something that has not happened in many years. The commercial fishermen enjoyed the bonanza due to stock, prices and weather, which were all good. Soft shell clasps held up good in Robert's Cove and Asa's Landing for the family permits. Next year will not be as good as the young clams will be a little late getting to legal size. 31 There was no mussel fishing this fall and winter and very few eels taken.

Bids for construction were advertised and the contract was awarded to Bryan H. Reed, Inc., of Hanover, Mass. in the amount of $638,764.00 on July 29th and work was started on August 9th. Mr. Ralph Swift of Orleans was appointed Clerk of the Works., With the help of the mild weather during the early winter construction has been on schedule and all buildings were closed in before February. The contract calls for completion by the first week in August but it is hoped that the buildings will be ready for occupancy by early summer. The Appeals Board granted a variance to reduce the number of parking spaces from the 80 required by the By-Laws to 41. The Department of Community Affairs announced that the maximum income for qualifying has been increased to $4,000 per year for a couple and $3,500 for an individual. The method of establishing rents was also changed and the amount of rent paid by the tenant is now 25% of income from all sources and includes the cost of utilities. A new contract for financial assistance was financed in September for $735,000 and a second series of one-year notes was sold to cover this indebtedness. Interest for the new notes is 4%. Plans are being made for furnishing the community build- ing which will be the social center. The Authority is asking community organizatons for help in this project as it has a limited budget for this purpose. The 707 Rental Assistance Program, was activated during the year and 3 families are currently participating. Orleans has a quota of 5 families and the Authority is actively working to fill this quota, The Authority is grateful for the volunteer help on this program of Miss Jean Gordon and Miss Doris Bates of Orleans and Mrs. Herbert Whitlock of Eastham. Respectfully submitted, DONALD B. FORESMAN, Chairman Orleans Housing Authority 34 REPORT OF THE Town Nursing Service Town Nursing Service renders service to the community through home nursing visits, clinics, Head Start and the school health program. Service is available to all, and the nurse can be reached by calling 255-2561 or by leaving a message at 255-0050. In September I assumed the duties of the school nurse at the Orleans Elementary School on a part time basis. This necessitated the hiring rof Mrs. Margaret Bunzick, L. P N., to assist with home visits and free me to be at the school morn- ings. This has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Four clinics were held this past year; a Rubella Clinic in February, a Mumps Clinic and a Tetanus Clinic in May. In each Clinic vaccine was administered by Dr. William Whitelaw. A Fluoride Clinic was held in July for children entering kinder- garten. This was conducted by Mrs. Alice Dalzell, dental technician for Barnstable County. Christmas dinners were arranged for several shut ins through the generosity of a local citizen. The salvation Army service unit provided funds for food baskets for needy families and also purchased several pairs of crutches, a bath stool, two walkers and a wheelchair for the Town. These and other sick room supplies are available on loan at the Orleans Fire Station. I wish to thank the Board of Health, Medical Advislory Board, the Orleans Police and Fire Departments, my clerk, Mrs. Walter Wilcox, and my new assistant for their thoughtful cooperation. Sincerely, ANN L. PHILLIPS, R. N. REPORT OF THE Barnstable County Health Department This has been a year. of self evaluation, proposals, growth and change as well as involvement in community planning groups. Each department worker is reviewing accomplish- ments, has expressed the need for unification of county-wide 35 services in his own field; there continues to be duplication, fragmentation, and unequal distribution of services. This is based on the variety of authority and structure of public and private agencies in the 15 towns. In Environmental Health, Medical Social Work, Nursing and Dental Health all have outlined an upper, mid and lower cape staffing pattern using experienced staff and junior workers. These areas would have planned supervision, clerical service, personnel and service policies and provision for substitute coverage during absences. Priority in planning will be given the following: strengthening of staff and services in Environmental Health, Medical Social Work, and the reclassification of staff positions. Environmental Health: More requests are being made for water chemistry because of the public's awareness of ecological and pollution prob- lems; more inspection of food establishments, and of day care centers, continue to be needed. Workshops on a regular basis have been begun so that Health Agents and Department Staff can share problems and can jointly engage other consultant help. Nursing, Dental and Medical Social Work: Again the number of workers in school health services has increased as school populatifon increased. Consultation has increased to schools and home health agencies where new nurses and health aides have been employed.The state clinic program for handicapped children has been transferred to the county for full management, and three new positions are state funded: that of physical herapist, developmental thera- pist and head clerk. Their talents and time are also offered to licensed day care centers in a consultant capacity and to schools. The County Health Officer, Miss Mary Susich, announced her retirement as of the end of the year. Because of her planning and because of motivation of staff and associates, the department will continue to work toward the improve- ment of services throughout the county. Respectfully submitted, ESTH'ER G. HOWES, R. N. Acting County Health Officer 3;9 REPORT OF THE Information Booth To The Board of Selectmen: By the time this is read the summer of 1971 will be remem- bered dimly by many. However those covering the Information Booth will recall it as a busy, hot, exasperating season. Where do you place people when nothing is available? Inability to find accomodations started a week earlier in July and lasted until that sudden shut off date — August 27th. The weep before Labor Day everybody was asking, "What hap- pened? Why haven't you sent us people? Thus learning the importance of the vacationer to our economy. Memorial Day week-end was very busy, in fact we had no listings to give out. This led to criticism when mentioned over the radio. It was true, inasmuch as many of these renting had not notified us that they were ready for tourists. People with rentals, whether cottages, motels or camp sites, should notify the Booth when they are open and what units are available. Also please call back when they are filled. This will avoid false encouragement to the tourist. It is hoped that this wil be the year for the inspection team to be set up, i.e, rating places 1 star, 2 star, etc. Tihs year we had more and varied complaints than ever covering every phase of the tourist's life. To whom do we refer these com- plaints? It is hoped that the information booklet will be revised. It lacks many important items. Historical tours should be included or a separate leaflet should be made. The countless inquiries handled by phone and personally makes a very busy day and it would be helpful if requests for telephone numbers were eliminated. The telephone book and directory service should be consulted first. Several local businesses asked why we didn't open earlier in the season as there were so many people here for weekends. If this is desirable more money will be needed for personnel and heating. This has to be requested in November to be included in the budget. It seemed there were more people looking for work and accomodations than ever. We need more help from local people with this problem as there are more owners refusing 3'7 rentals tro summer help. Whose responsibility is this? The businesses can't operate without these people but where are they going to live? The paint job on the interior by the Board of Trade volun- teers made the Booth much more pleasant for workers and vaoationers. Our sincere thanks to them. Also the Park Department and all who helped toward a more efficient pleasant reception to the tourist. The 1971 staff was Helen Toomey, Josephine Young and Chief Aide Lucy Hopkins. Having 3 workers available reduced the time to 4 hour shifts. Sometimes this seemed too long a stretch, In closing PLEASE notify of cancellations, etc. The Booth is the first place they gall for verification of events. Respectfully submitted, LUCY K. HOPKINS Chief Information Aide REPORT OF THE Snow Library In the annals of Snow Library, 1971 may very well go down as "The Year of the Flood." Torrential rains during the weekend of February 6th caused the basement to flood, re- sulting in damage nrot only to hooks and to other effects stored there but to the library furnace. It was necessary to replace the furnace, and funds to provide for payment of this vital item were voted at a special mid-summer Town Meeting. During the year, the library continued to reflect the steady gain in acceptance that has been so evident in recent years. Our circulation went up from 52,000 to 58,000 -' up 12% over 1970's 28% gain. But circulation in no way gives an accurate picture of the way the library facilities are presently being used. The simple fact is that the more we have to offer, the more our library is used by a wide variety of our citizens. Students, writers, researchers, spend hours on the premises, and it was in part with them in mind that we initiated an "open door" policy on Sunday afternoons starting last fall, that has proved to be very popular. As the result of a federal grant— acceptance of which was 3 U voted upon favorably at last year's Town. Meeting — 1972 reflected an increased area of co-operation between local schools and the library, and a number of new and very useful items in the library itself. Among these are a coin-operated copy machine, a microfilm reader, and an extensive backlog of magazines on microfilm. We also very much appreciated the Friends' gift of an electric typewriter. During the year, our staff was increased by an "Operation Mainstream" employee, who worked under a federally-funded training program, with us for 26 weeks. Had it not been for this staff addition and for the help and suipport of many volunteers, it would have been virtually impossible to main- tain our standard of service at Snow Library during the past year. With the growth of the Cape, our Library is definitely suffering "growing pains." Those who have used the Library in 1971 — and we are happy to report that they represent an unusually large proportion of the town's population — well know how crowded we are. Thus, last fall, the Trustees voted to establish a building committee, which will investigate our future needs and, at a proper tithe, bring them to the attention of the voters. Respectfully submitted, TRUSTEES OF SNOW LIBRARY by Margaret H. Koehler, Chairman REPORT OF THE Department ®f Veteran's Services To The Honorable Board of Selectmen The objective of the Department of Veterans Services is to secure for the wartime veteran and his dependents all the benefits which they may need and to which they are entitled by state or federal law or regulations. Failure to preserve vital records is a frequent cause of delay in the obtaining of these benefits. Prompt submission of an honorable discharge, certificate (of marriage, birth, death, divorce, or medical records will substantially assist this office in its work of aiding veterans and their dependents, Such records should be care- fully kept, preferably in the safe deposit box of a bank. This office will be glad to make copies (particularly of the dis- charge or DD 214 form) to be kept in our files for use at any 39 time they are needed. There is no charge for this service. The number of veterans is now over 28.2 million and is increasing at the rate of about 80,000 each month while older veterans have been dying at the rate of about 26,000 a month. The number of those involved in the Viet Nam conflict is exceeded only by the number of those who served in World War II. It is encouraging to note the increasing percentage of Viet Nam veterans making use of the educational benefits available to them under recent legislation. Indications are that the monthly dollar payments to students may be increased by the Congress, thus giving added impetus to this worthwhile program. Information and application forms are available at this office. Widows who remarried'and whose second marriages have been dissolved by death or divorce may return to the pension, compensation or DIC rolls and receive benefits based on the service of the first veteran husband. Another important change is that veterans 6'5 ur older are all entitled to VA hospitaliza- tion and need not sign a statement of inability to pay. FRANCIS P. BURLING Veterans' Agent REPORT OF THE Registrars of Voters To The Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen: The Board of Registrars of Voters submit their report for the year 1971. The year 1971 was very active die to State and Federal amendments and Supreme Court action at the end of 1970 and early 1971 which resulted in many more registrations. There was the Town's Annual Election and the Election on the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District. The total number of voters at the end of the year was 2,476. There were 1396 Republicans, 201 Democrats, and 879 Inde- pendents. There were 314 new registrations. 113 were re- moved as required by law due to death or having moved away. The result is a net gain of 201 more registrations. As required by law and amended, the Board of Registrars 40 conducted the annual listing of all residents 17 years of age and older together with the listing for the State Decennial Census and a recheck of the Federal census number of all ages in residence. The new total rcorded was 3,539 residents of which 506 claimed to have not been recorded by the Federal census of 1970. Listing of dogs, three months and older, and their owners was conducted for the Town Clerk. There were 479 dogs declared by their owners. Respectfully submitted, LEO H. CUMMINGS, Chairman HELENE B. FINN IRENE M. McCOUBREY RUTH G. NELSON Superintendent's Deport ORLEANS ELEMENTARY ,SCHOOL Orleans, Massachusetts The Orleans Elementary ,School, the largest in Union 54, has in the past year been able to move much more rapidly toward a program of continuous progress which recognizes and respects the individual needs of each child. With strong and capable leadership from the Principal and with the sup- port and guidance of a responsive and dedicated school com- mittee, a high quality of instruction has been maintained at the lowest possible cost. I have been particularly impressed by the interest of parents in the school program and by the close school-commu- nity relationships. in the Orleans Elementary School. When important issues are discussed, parents do turn out. Also of note is the deep interest of the Orleans Finance Committee demonstrated by its faithful attendance at all School Commit- tee meetings. Old cliches may be tiresome, but they are often very true. Good schools make good communities.

Teachers Marie Jones Richard Porter Phyllis White Albert Kolodzik Roderick Hagenbuckle James Yeutter Janet La Tanzi Nurse Rose P. Willett, R. N. Aides Susan Gillis M. Kay Ozon Lois Canfield Custodian. Leighton Card Cafeteria Grace Fulcher Each of these persons has made significant contributions to the program here and we wish them well in their new endeavors. 1971 has been a year of marred change for the school system. At the elementary school level, many hours of plan- ning have been devoted to making the change to a K-4 school not only a smooth one, but one which would provide improved educational offerings to the youngest children in the district. Active participation of the entire staff over the past sev- eral years has been the major factor in the achievements which have been made. In an era where labels, acronyms, and organization blueprints too often become the end rather than the beginning of meaningful educational change, the staff at the Orleans Elementary School has taken a guarded view with respect to jumping on any bandwagon. We believe that the key to education lies, not in a name or a promise, but in the interrelationship of the teacher and the child. Although the direction of our instructional program is pane of continuous progress for each child, we are seeking to achieve this by strengthening the diversity of talents rather than attempting to pour all children and adults into a single mold. In reviewing the year 1971, certain highlights come to mind: 1. Following a two-year faculty study, we implemented a comprehensive program of evaluating pupil progress. Major features of this program include: a. Selected screening and diagnostic tests, administered by the counsellor, the reading co-ordinator, the reading tutors, and the classroom teachers, specifically to assist in early 43 detection of potential learning problems. b. A minimum of two parent-teacher conferences annually in the Primary Units. Preparation for these conferences re- quires thorough preparation, and precise knowledge of what each child has accomplished in academic areas as well as his strengths and weaknesses in social and behavioral devleop- ment. c. For the Middle School Transition Unit, a detailed prog- ress report which is discussed in an individual pupil-teacher conference in the late fall, the second report is discussed in a parent-teacher conference in late winter or early spring. d. interim progress reports and additional parent and/or pupil conferences whenever any concerned party desires. e. Professional case conferences involving any or all of the following personnel: Principal, teacher, counsellor, reading tutor, reading coordinator, nurse, parent. 2. The monthly publication through June 1971 of "The Fisherman's Net," a school news magazine written by fifth and sixth graders; and the new newspaper, "The Sandpiper," prepared by the Middle School Transition Unit this fall. 3. "Bright and Early," a printed booklet of highly imagina- tive poetry which marked the culmination of a rare happening; the close assDeiation of the noted children's poet David McCord with a group of our fifth and sixth graders. Citizens who have not seen this unusual product of superior teaching and careful organization are invited to request a copy from the school office. 4. A major thrust in improving reading and the associated language skills. Among the results of this concentrated effort are these: a. The development of teacher-made materials to substanti- ate with a high degree of accuracy levels of skill mastery. b. The preparation and use of a working teachers' guide to reading instructiun to insure consistency in the teaching of phonics and other skills. c. Several faculty meetings devoted exclusively to ways of improving instruction and making fuller use of available materials and talents. d. Organization of all reading materials by level in a central location to assist teachers in selecting appropriate instruc- tional materials for each child and to promote the sharing of available materials. 5. The introduction of a new science program which re- quires active pupil involvement with materials and promotes skill in observation; and the addition of the excellent program 44 In the natural sciences under the auspices of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. 6. The growth of the adult volunteer program which has begun to extend beyond service to the school library into a variety of other areas. Based on the responses to a fall com- munity�resources survey, we plan to develop this program further in 1972. 7. Increased flexibility of the program made possible by the decreased enrollment. Temporary classrooms, used to meet increased enrollment when St. Joan of Are School closed have been adapted for a variety of purposes. including: a. Central art room in what was formerly a stockroom and had been used as a classroom. b. A staff workroom where all working materials, files equipment, and the professional library are housed in the area partitioned off in the main lobby. c. Centers for science, music, drama, blockbuilding, wood- working, educational films, small group and tutorial instruc- tion in the classrooms not presently required to house home- rooms. 8. The growth and quality of service of the Clinical Teach- ing Center which provides a total-intervention program in small-group instruction for children wih learning and/or emo- tional needs which the local school is not equipped to meet with the efficiency and effectiveness of this center. 9. Three brief informal all-school assemblies each week at which children and adults share activities and projects, related to their classwork or special interests, with each other. Music plays an important role in these assemblies, with one assembly each week entirely devoted to group singing and other musical activities. The assemblies have contributed to the development of a school spirit and a feeling that we are all a part of the community. 10. Reflected in the above, and in other ways too numerous to cite, the daily observable evidence that the staff has a high degree of commitment and imaginative approaches to meeting its responsibilities which we see as the following: a. Providing each child with a level of mastery, consistent with his ability, in the arts and skills of his language and of mathematics. b. Providing an atmosphere conducive to the development of attitudes toward self and others which reflect a commit- ment to the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual, child and adult, with whom one is associated. c. Assisting children to think critically, to make responsible 45 choices and decisions, and to establish realistic standards and values with respect to their academic performance and their behavior. The local staff and administration are endeavoring to pro- vide the best possible program which the community desires and can afford. We are cognizant, in our efforts, of the options as well as the limitations which accompany the total reorgani- zation of the school district, the decreased pupil enrollment in -the elementary schools, and the burden on the taxpayers of escalating costs of education. As one who has taught at the elementary, secondary, and college levels, it is my deep conviction that we must exercise great care in our thinking, and our actions relating to early childhood education. The first years of formal education can, and often do, influence the direction a child's life will take. The importance and complexity of the task of the elementary teacher deserve thoughtful consideration and sufficient support to insure that every child will have more than a token opportu- nity to achieve the three goals stated above. Many years ago, on a radio panel, Irene Dunne, in referring to the future of our nation said, "If we don't stand for something, we will fall for anything." The staff of the Orleans Elementary School, while facing the challenges of the future and while continuing to be receptive to change, stands for certain basic principles: a. The right of each child to a carefully-planned instruc- tional program. b. Insistance of those standards of achievement and behavior which each child is capable of achieving. e. Guiding the child toward freedom with responsibility without expecting them to achieve these goals by having adults abdicate their responsibilities. We stand for some values, not universally popular, such as courtesy, self-respect, and respect for the rights of Fathers. We believe that it is possible to ,stand for such values in an atmosphere of humane understanding and that we can promote these standards without being "grim, joyless, and oppressive." All of us are keenly aware that in an endeavor such as ours, every tomorrow brings new challenges; that we cannot stand still; and that we must continually subject our efforts to critical review. We invite interested citizens to visit the school and to share with us their questions and concerns. Respectfully submitted, ROSEMARY F. BOWLER, Principal 46 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE of the CAPE COD REGIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT During its first full year of operation, the School Committee charged with the development of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School has moved the project ahead in a number of important ways. Of these, perhaps the most sig- nificant was the final determination of a site on which to build the new school. Following this decision, made in the early fall, the Committee's legal counsel set in motion the legal proceedings through which the several parcels making up the 64-acre tract will be acquired for educational purposes. The Committee was very pleased that conditilons made it possible to obtain a site at the spot that had earlier been identified -as the center of population of the newly formed school district. Before this or any other site could be purchased, it was necessary for the School Committee to secure the approval of the voters of the District to borrow funds for this purpose. Voter approval to borrow $424,000 for land acquisition and other uses was given in a special election held on May 20. This was a yo-called Clause (n) election wherein the decision is made by a majority of the voters in the District as a whole rather than town by town. The affirmative action of the voters on May 20 also permitted the borrowing of funds to cover initial architectural fees. It thus became possible to sign a contract with the firm of Drum- mey, Rosane and Anderson, who now are working on prelimi- nary sketches of the new school complex. The past year also saw a change in the educational leader- ship of the District. The School Committee undertook a nation- wide search for a new Superintendent-Director, which culmi- nated with the appointment of Robert A. Campbell to the post. Campbell, who left a professorship in vocational educa- tion at the University of Illinois to move to Cape Cod, took up his duties on September 1. With these fundamental steps taken, the Committee was freed to devote a large part of its energies to designing an educational program that not only will serve the needs of our young people and of other adults when the school opens, but will also have the flexibility that will permit it to change as times change. To speed the planning process and to obtain the advice of other experienced vocational educators, the School Committee employed the firm of Educational Con- 47 sultants Council, Inc. to assist it in developing educational specifications to guide the architect in designing housing and other facilities for the program. The School Committee from the ver beginning has been determined to keep the school close to the people who support it and who are to be served by it. One consequence of this determination has been the new superintendent's efforts to meet and consult with teachers, administrators, and students in the general school systems the Technical School is related to. The Committee is also pleased to note the contacts he is making with various citizens groups throughout the District, and the Committee hopes that civic and other organizations in 'the eleven towns will feel free to call on him. We anticipate that the Advisory Boards, which are now being set up and shortly will be activated, will be especially helpful in bringing a wide range of community knowedge and experience to bear on the design and conduct of vocational education here on the Outer Cape. Each of the major voca- tional areas in the school's curriculums will have its own board of advisors made up of men and women who are experts in that particular occupational field. These advisory groups will not only assist with the planning of the curriculum in the course of the next few months but will also continue on as consultants to the school's faculty and the School Committee. I know I speak for all 22 members of the School Committee when I say that serving on the Committee has been a challeng- ing and rewarding experience. We shall continue to do our best to be worthy of the confidence placed in us by appoint- ment to this important civic post. JOEL M. WOLFSON, Chairman REPORT OF THE School.

TOWN OF ORLEANS,MASSACHUSETTS MARGARET FERNALD DOLE MEMORIAL EXHIBITIONS FUND At the present time,which is so full of acrimonious controversies about all manner of things,causes and policies,it seems desirable to devote more attention to the permanent and enduring values of life,one of the chief of which is the creation and appreciation of beauty as expressed by various artists in various ways through painting,drawings and sculptures, The late MARGARET FERNALD DOLE devoted her entire life to the creation of beauty as she saw it through her paintings and drawings,and it seems appropriate to set up a fund in her name which can be used to hold occasional exhibitions where the public may see and appreciate works of art. go Short exhibitions of various art organizations have drawn substantial public attendance in increasing numbers and their educational nature is so great that the Internal Revenue Service has granted several of them the broadest type of tax exemption as public charities or as private MUD- dations.Permanent museums,unless located in major population centers, cannot possibly compete on a dollar cost per viewer basis with the oc- casional show simply because their capital investment and operating costs are so much higher.The occasional exhibit does require some expenditure for rent,preparation of exhibiting space,handling of art objects,catalogs, advertising notices, postage and other minor expenses (not including in- surance as exhibiting artists are advised their works are shown at their own risk and tht they must carry their own insurance).Most of the labor of the occasional exhibit is usually furnished on a voluntarybasis.Thiscould. be by the members of an art organization or the local Council of the Arts- where one exists, The proposal is that donations be made to the Town of Orleans to create a municipal fund to be known as the MARGARET FERNALD DOLE Memorial Exhibitions Fund, the income to be used from time to time to defray the cost of an occasional short exhibition.The donations will be tax deductible to the maximum of 50 per cent of the taxpayer's contribution base because made to a political subdivision of a State for an exclusively public purpose,i.e.,education. (Internal Revenue Code Section 170 (b) (1) (A) (v) and (c). (0.) Orleans seems a desirable location for this project because it is located at the intersection of the three major Cape Cod Highways and also because MARGARET FERNALD DOLE did much of her work in her studio there over a period of years. Specifically, it is proposed that: 1. The Fund be known as the Town of Orleans Margaret Fernald Dole Memorial Exhibitions Fund and that each exhibition be known as a Margaret Fernald Dole Memorial Exhibition; 2,The Fund be held by the Town of Orleans and only the income be used for the cost of exhibitions from time to time; 3.The management and control of the exhibitions be in the hands of some local group such as the local Council of the Arts,or such other group as the Board of Selectmen shall determine from time to time; 4. There be no restrictions on the type of art to be exhibited other than that traditional,representational art be accorded at least equal treatment with so-called modern art,abstract art and the like; 5. The works to be exhibited be original paintings, drawings and sculp- tures; 6. The works exhibited not be propaganda for political or ideological causes; 125 7. Artists be encouraged to give demonstrations and lectures during exhibitions; 6. The exhibits be for the purpose of education;and possible sales of exhibited works, while not prohibited, not be stressed by the inclusion of selling prices in the catalogs, posting of prices on exhibited works, or by any other means. The reason for making this Fund a municipal one is that private foun- dations as defined in the Tax Reform Act of 1969 are subject to income taxes on their income,are obliged to make reports,and are subject to other requirements which might hamper their operations.It is important that the Fund be used"for exclusively public purposes i.e.,education, in order to maintain its tax deductible feature to the fullest extent. Voted, voice vote, unanimous that the Town adopt the following resolution; Be it resolved that the Selectmen investigate the recent damage to Town Highways.by heavy trucking and report at next town meeting any action that can be taken to prevent future damage. Voted,standing vote, Yes 137;No 53, that the.Town adopt the following resolution: RESOLVED; at the next Town Meeting to be held in Orleans, an Article be inserted which would put the Building Inspector's appointment and responsibility to the Planning Board. Also under Article 57 it was voted, rising vote, that a vote of thanks be given"to the Planning Board_ On a motion duly made and seconded,voted, voice vote, unanimous, to adjourn.
