Hammersmith Clean Food Traders Guild.
On June 21st the Advisory committee considered the future functions
and activities of the guild having regard to the rood and Drugs
Amendment Act 1954, and it was decided that owing to this new legislation
and the meagre support given to the Guild by the majority of
rood Traders in the Borough, no useful purpose would be served by
continuing Its existence.
Much good work was achieved by the Guild since its inception in
1949, and at the time of its dissolvement, 185 applications had been
received for Trader Membership. Arrangements were made for talks on
"rood Hygiene" to be given to employees in the foods trades. The talks
were Illustrated by films strips shown by a portable diascope and
screen at the Traders' own premises. A number of talks along similar
lines were also given to school children, women's Institutes, Church
Guilds and other similar organisations.
