membership of eight with an average attendance of six and a half over the
last three months.
Gloves to the value of £36 4s. 2d. were sold through the Committee,
the remainder being disposed of through the Central Fund, which is responsible
for the Class.
Gloves made by the class were exhibited at County Hall during the
Annual Conference of the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis
and received favourable comments.
Through the agency of the Central Fund, gloves were also on sale at
an Exhibition of Work done by physically handicapped workers held at Bristol
in the autumn. One member of the Fulham class gained a first class certificate
and two other members were awarded second class certificates.
In conclusion the Tuberculosis Officer wishes to tender his sincere
thanks to all the members of the Dispensary Staff for their help and efficient
service during the year. He also desires to express his thanks and appreciation
to the Secretary and members of the Care Committee, who by means of their
personal efforts and through the medium of their Associations have been
instrumental in doing so much to further the campaign against Tuberculosis.
Many families and individuals have been helped in the most suitable manner,
and children have derived the great benefit of convalescent holidays—in the
Country, or at the Seaside, through the efforts of the Associations represented
on the Tuberculosis Care Committee.
