    REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE'-YEAR- 1957. A •v W ARE RURAL DISTRICT PREFACE To the Chairman and Councillors, Ware Rural District. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Health of Ware Rural District for the year ending 31st December, 1957. On that date your Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Lohn Wildman, resigned to take up a Public Health appointment in Devon. I was invited by the East Hertfordshire Combined Sanitary Districts Committee to act as Locum Medical Officer of Health until the appointment of a successor. Dr. Wildman has asked me, in presenting this Annual Report, to express his gratitude for the assistance and support he has enjoyed from Members of the Staff of the Health Department, from his colleagues in other Departments and from Members of the Health Committee during the nine years he has been your Medical Officer of Health. At the same time I wish to express my apprecia¬ tion of the invariable kindness and courtesy I have met while acting as your temporary Medical Officer of Health. * . ’.i The vital statistics for the year 1957 do not contain any evidence of unusual sickness or disease, but reflect the high standard of Public Health to be expected in a population so favourably placed as that of the Ware Rural District. I have the honour to be Your obedient Servant, R. P. GARROW.
