    large stalls have been set up illustrating the work of the Public Health Department and Maternity and Child Welfare Section of the Area Health Dept. Visits have been made to schools, training colleges, various societies and organisations. The welfare of old people has received considerable attention throughout the country in the last few years, and Sutton Coldfield has been no exception. The Old People’s Welfare Committee, on which are two members of the Public Health Committee, has continued its excellent work in co-ordinating and encouraging the work for old people in the town. Much has been done by the various societies and voluntary organisations, and the old people of Sutton Coldfield can be sure that their needs will continue to be catered and provided for in every possible way. During the year 1951 there has been a steady improvement in the sanitary conditions in the Borough, and I can only express how much pleasure it has given me to advise and co-operate with you in the public health work of the Council. I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to all the members of the Public Health Staff, both sanitary and clerical, for their loyal and unstinted effort. JAMES R. PRESTON, Medical Officer of Health.
