Changes in the personnel of the Committee have taken
place. On appointment as Medical Officer of Health to the
Camberwell Borough Council, Dr. H. D. Chalke, O.B.E. ceased
to represent the Public Health Committee, London County
Council, Division 7, but was elected as an ex-officio member in
place of Dr. H. W. Barnes.
Dr. Ann Mower-White, Medical Officer, London County
Council, Division 7, was elected to fill the vacancy created.
Mr. L. Perry, Area Officer, National Assistance Board for
Camberwell (South) resigned on his appointment as the Lewisham
Area Officer and his place was taken by Mr. W. Henderson.
In September, the Chest Clinic moved to more suitable
accommodation in St. Giles' Hospital. As a result of this move
No. 23 Brunswick Park was taken over by the Camberwell
Borough Council for conversion into housing accommodation,
but the Committee was offered and gratefully accepted the use
of the basement for storage purposes, for meetings of the handicraft
class and for work arising out of the Christmas Seal Sale.
Pending the conversion work the Committee are in occupation
of their original accommodation on a caretaker basis, and no
rent is charged. When the conversion work is completed,
however, the Committee will transfer to the basement and a
rent will be fixed. Thanks are due to the Camberwell Borough
Council for their co-operation and assistance.
The Committee are pleased to report that their work has
continued with the same success as in former years despite rising
costs. That they are able to do this is due mainly to the generosity
