HEALTH PUBLICITY
During the year various activities were undertaken in the field of Health
Publicity.
Exhibitions
Food Hygiene.
This Exhibition and associated demonstrations, constituting the first of their
kind in the Borough, were held during February at a large Restaurant—and the
success of this venture was made possible in no small measure by the generous
co-operation and free facilities provided by the firm concerned. The demonstrations,
which included a food hygiene talk, illustrated by filmstrips, followed by invited
questions to a Question Panel, and then a tour of the Exhibition and of the Restaurant's
kitchens and bakery, took place on the afternoons of 24th and 26th February.
Those invited to the demonstrations consisted in the main of invited staffs and
management of those concerned with catering and food preparation in restaurants,
canteens, etc. Personnel included restaurant and canteen staffs of hospitals, London
County Council Meals Services, including School Meals Service, and commercial
establishments. Also present at the demonstrations were members of the Council,
representatives of the Ministry of Food and Central Council for Health Education
and some Medical Officers, Sanitary Inspectors and other senior staff of adjacent
Borough Councils and the London County Council.
The proceeding at each of the afternoon demonstrations were opened
respectively by His Worship the Mayor of Islington, and by Dr. Eric Fletcher, M.P.
The hall was filled on each occasion and it is estimated that approximately four
hundred people attended the demonstrations. In addition, some five hundred school
children in organised parties visited the Exhibition and large numbers of the general
public were also attracted.
