Sickness and Invalidity.
There have been no causes of sickness or invalidity which have been specially
noteworthy in the area during the year. I am unacquainted with any conditions
of occupation which appear to have had a prejudicial effect on health and I have
no evidence, statistically or otherwise, that unemployment has exercised any significant
influence on the health or physique of children or adults.
