HEALTH PROPAGANDA.
The borough council did not hold a health week during the year, but health propaganda work
was conducted by the council's health lecturer at the infant welfare centres and Baby Clinic.
Lectures have also been given at Harrow Mission, St. Mary Abbots Girls' Club, the Women's
Co.operative Society and other organisations. The report of the health lecturer's work appears on
page 33.
A special feature of the health lecturer's activities during the year has been instruction in the
importance of ante.natal care. Talks were given on this subject at all the infant welfare centres
and the Baby Clinic.
