    URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL OF ADWICK-LE-STREET. PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT9 COUNCIL OFFICES 9 ADWICK- LE-STREETy NR. DONCASTER. JULY 1942. To the Chairman and Members of the Adwick-le-Street Urban District Council. Mr. Chairman* Lady and Gentlemen3 I have pleasure in submitting herewith my Annual Report on the health of the inhabitants of the district for the year 1941. The report has been compiled on the lines indicated by the Ministry of Health and has been kept as brief as possible. The' Vital Statistics show that the health of the inhabitants continues to be satisfactory and there have been no serious outbreaks of infectious disease. The Birth and Death Rate compare favourably with the rate for the whole of England and Wales. Rationing of food and the limitation of certain foodstuffs have not caused any signs of malnutrition amongst the school children of the area but an extension of the school meals scheme would ensure that the standard of nutrition was maintained. My thanks are due to the Chairman and Members of the various committees and to the Officials for their support and co-operation throughout the year. I am particularly indebted to the Sanitary Inspector and the Public Health Staff for their valued help. I have the honour to be, Lady and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants J. FERGUSON. Medical Officer of Health
