Health Propaganda.
The Council's propaganda activities in 1936 were as follows:—
a poster display, the distribution of a health handbook, and the
issue of leaflets on the subjects of Diphtheria Prevention, Tuberculosis,
Cancer, Influenza, Measles, Whooping Cough, Dietary and
Cooking, and Rat repression. The Council's health handbook
contains a synopsis of the health services of the Borough and
general information on health matters with references of particular
interest to mothers.
It is interesting to record that the acknowledgments received
at the Public Health Department from inhabitants of the Borough
from time to time is conclusive of the value of the information
provided in this booklet.
Better Health, the official monthly journal of the Central Council
for Health Education, was also distributed to the ratepayers
through the medium of the Public Libraries, Baths, Infant Welfare
Centres, Schools and the various industrial undertakings in the
Borough.
Short talks to mothers on health matters were also given by
the Health Visitors at certain of the Infant Welfare Centres in the
Borough.
