education•
In Paragraph E (Pages 27 - 41) the

year's work in environmental hygiene, food
and water was detailed. Short observation
is made regarding housing including overcrowding,
food premises and milk.
In Paragraph G (Pages 48 - 54) some
observations were made regarding the successful
work at the Day Nurseries.
In Paragraph H (Pages 54 - 56) the
notes indicated that continuous adaptation
and adjustment is required in the Casualty
Medical Services. But Civil Defence filters

Environmental Hygiene, and Civil Defence).
This review of the achievement in 1943
could not have been recorded had not the staff
of the Public Health Department all individually
worked very hard throughout, and as a team
worked as a co-operative whole in complete
harmony.
