    called for, and apparatus to determine noise levels will be required for this work in the next year, and staff have been seconded for training in its use. It gives considerable pleasure to be able to record that during the year the following successes were obtained : Miss Giles.—Health Visitors’ Certificate. Miss Halsall.—Psychiatric Social Worker. Miss Parr.—Diploma of the National Association of Mental Health. Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Dobson.—The Queen’s Institute of District Nurses1' examination. Mr. Cobb.—The Public Health Inspector’s Qualifying Certificate. Mr. Wright.—The Smoke Inspectors’ Certificate of the Royal Society of Health, and The Certificate for Boilerhouse Practice of the City and Guilds Institute. In addition, two pupil Public Health Inspectors were successful in obtaining the Fourth Year Examination of the Public Health Inspectors’ Certificate. Whilst these members of the staff are to be congratulated on their attainments,.- all the staff are deserving of the highest praise in their untiring efforts in this most- worth-while work. The training of staff must be extended in the future if an adequate number of qualified staff is to be available to meet the changing needs of the Health Service. It is fortunate to have staff who have shown such enthusiasm and loyalty. Their devotion to the service to the community of Blackpool deserves full recognition. The success of the public health programme is dependent to a large extent on family doctors, and I should like to thank them for their wholehearted support. It is again a pleasure to record the appreciation of the Health Department for the help received from other Corporation departments, and the close liaison which has been maintained with the Director of Education and the Chairmen and members' of the Education Committees. It is hoped that the close links with the Hospital, service have been maintained and strengthened during the past year. To the Chairmen and members of the various Committees I wish to tender m> thanks for their continued support throughout the year. D. W. WAUCHOB.
