CLEAN AIR WEEK BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING ROOM If you survive - people under 30 yrs. of age have a pretty good chance of being normal again. Some older people would be affected and never quite be back to normal. Dr. Cosgrove knew of someone that had encephalitis. They survived and some days seem normal but gets so he does not know his relatives. He has now started to slip and going down -hill. He is loosing his coordination to the point of senility. Dr. Erdos said we should keep an eye on any cases of encephalitis in the State. Dr. Erdos asked if the Board received an invitation to go tonight to the human services meeting (C.M.A.R.C. & M.V.M.H.A.)with the Human Services Council. Mr. Smith said, "No", we never do. Dr. Erdos said they get their money budgeted from this department. Apparently they didn't want us even though we pay their bills. George said the Selectmen use to pay all of it and one day they gave it all to us. Mr. Smith reported that Randy Rice of the E.P.A. came over on the Saturday of Clean Air Week and tested emissions of cars. Approximately 50-60 cars were tested. There was about a 30% failure of cars. Mr. Smith said it was a good day but we could have done better. Mrs. Gabriel, Health Intern, came down also and helped record results. People came with screw drivers to make adjustments if the testing showed that they need any adjustment. Dr. Cosgrove: "We were ordered out of our Meeting Room. I have been waiting two weeks to tell the Town Manager that I do not like it. I don't like to be pushed around." Dr. Erdos asked who is taking over? Dr. Cosgrove said - the Planning Board, Look at the space they have. They carry down their maps, etc. They have one of the biggest offices around. Dr. Erdos said our room is only big enough for our meeting. There is no room for us to have people in for a meeting. We do have groups in at certain times. Where will we put them? Dr. Cosgrove said I am still waiting for an appointment. We have to pick up all our meeting stuff and go down the other end of the hall. Why can't we meet in the planning office? Mr. Smith said the Planning Director doesn't want meeting held in there. MRS. Mr. Smith reported to the Board that Mrs. Gabriel has been busy chasing GABRIEL down stores and restaurants that have been slack about renewing their permits.
