Health Hints:
These consisted of brief articles of some 100 - 120 words on a
variety of topics, such as Immunization, Burns, etc., and were written
by Dr. Meade, Deputy Medical Officer of Health. They were published
weekly in two of the local papers urrier the title 'Health Hints - by a
Doctor', and were very well received.
Schoolboys' Essays:
After a party of schoolboys had visited the Department and given an
insight into its workings they were invited to write an essay on their
visit. Four prizes were given for the best entries and the boys were
presented with these at a meeting of the Public Health Committee.
Altogether it has been a year in which progress has been made in Health
Education. This would not have been possible without the willing help
and co-operation of the Public Healtti Committee, whose members have
taken the Chair at all the Film Shows, members of the Department and the
Borough Librarian and his staff at the Central Library. In an endeavour
to reach a wider audience it is hoped to take the film shows to suitable
halls in the Borough in addition to showing them at the Library.
