Exhibitors were the North Thames Gas Board, London Electricity
Board, Solid Smkeles's Fuels Federation, Green & London Ltd.,
the National Society for Clean Air and the Public Health
Department. The films shown were "Guilty Chimneys" and
"Window to the Sky", and questions were answered by a panel
consisting of the Chairman of the Public Health Committee,
the Deputy Medical Officer of Health, Clean Air Officer and
representatives of the North Thames Gas Board and London
Electricity Board.
The attendance for a one day show was considered to be very
satisfactory and all the exhibitors expressed themselves
pleased with the arrangements There is no doubt that people
will come to exhibitions if they feel there is something
to be gained. The timing of the invitation is most
important, and it is felt that, as in this case, it is best
if it can be arranged to coincide with the announcement of
confirmation of Orders and instructions on the action to take.
A photograph of part of the Exhibition is reproduced on
centre page.
