of stressing the fact that public health is very largely a matter
of teamwork. Unless every section of the team plays its part,

that the community is willing, indeed eager, to co-operate. This
affords us very great satisfaction, and encourages us to continue

health programme during the past years.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without thanking the
burgesses for the support they have given to our health education
programme. I would equally be failing in my duty if I did not
express my personal thanks to the members of the Public Health
Committee, and to the Council as a whole, for similar encouragement
and support.
