It was felt that the advent of the new Pood Hygiene Regulations made under the Food
and Drugs Act, 1955, provided an excellent opportunity to further the Council's constant
endeavours to make both food handlers and the general public "clean food conscious".
The activities pursued were as follows:-
The slogan "Lend us a Hand" and symbol "Hands being Scrubbed" were combined to form
a badge which was reproduced on all the Council's envelopes, literature and posters.
Display cards with the slogan and symbol were also designed for use with window displays.
Press Publicity:
To obtain this a meeting was held with reporters from the local papers to explain
how and why it was intended to run the campaign
Posters:
Double Crown two colour Posters bearing a different message were issued every two
weeks and displayed at shops, Council sites, schools and premises of local organisations etc.
Window Displays:
Were used - one large and two small. The large one consisted of three pegboard
panels on which were mounted Clean Food Cut-Out exhibits. This display was circulated
between premises where there was room to show the display to advantage. The smaller
displays were on show at shops.
Literature:
The following was purchased and used throughout the campaign:-
5,000 Shop Quiz (Leaflets)
5, 000 Cafe Quiz (Leaflets)
4,000 Sticker Stamps - used on Public Health Department's
outgoing correspondence.

Following a meeting with the local Schools Headmasters , Committee, permission was
given to circularise all Fulham Schools and invite them to apply for campaign material
(literature, films film strips) and speakers. Nine schools took advantage of this
offer and two of them had a series of talks and films
