CLEAN FOOD CAMPAIGN
Early in the year it was decided to hold a Clean Food Exhibition
in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries and the
Central Council for Health Education.
However, as it was decided to hold a Civic Exhibition in the
large hall at the Public Baths from October 28th to November 4th, as part
of the Council's celebrations in connection with the Metropolitan Boroughs'
Golden Jubilee, the Clean Food Exhibition became part of this larger
exhibition.
The Public Health Department had 10 stands, 8 of which had
Clean Food as their subject, the others being devoted to the general work
of the Department and Smoke Pollution.
The exhibition was well attended by some 13,000 people, the
Public Health Section being one of the outstanding features.
Film Shows were given, and a competition was run in connection
with the film "Another Case of Food Poisoning", the public being invited
to spot the food handling faults. Six prizes of £1. were awarded to
the six persons listing most faults. The winners were presented with their
prizes at a meeting of the Public Health Committee.
