to be given the opportunity of guiding this new Department into sound and progressive
ways, but as this opportunity has not been granted to me I have given the best advice I
can in this limited preamble, and I wish the Department success in prevention of disease
and promotion of health in body and mind for everybody.
My last word is of gratitude for the wonderful and loyal officers of the Public Health
Department, past and present, who have helped me in our work through the years. I have
been indeed fortunate in them, and do thank them here and now with great sincerity, and
will always be thankful that we worked together.
I am particularly grateful to my colleague, the Chief Public Health Inspector, Mr.
R. W. McDonald, who has been with me during the whole of my time in the Borough;
his exceptional ability and knowledge of sanitary law have enabled us to perform miracles
with our tiny staff; and to the Chief Clerk, Mrs. Jones, who has never rebelled even when
driven, at the last, almost beyond the point of exhaustion in assisting me to get this Report
ready for the printers.
I am, Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Margreat a. Glass
Medical Officer of Health.
Manor House, Southall.
