"BETTER HEALTH."
During the year a local edition of the monthly
health education periodical " Better Health," published
tunder the auspices of the Central Council for Health
iEducation, was issued for sale through the Welfare
Centres, Public Library and newsagents. Considering
its somewhat limited circulation, a fairly satisfactory
advertisement revenue was obtained for some time, and it
was a useful medium for topical health propaganda, and
in making the Council's health services better known.
The advertisement revenue declining, the local edition
was abandoned in September. Later in the year, the
publishers offered on certain terms to supply 2,000
copies per month of a new local edition for free distribution.
This offer was accepted and it is hoped to
resume circulation in 1930.
