Home Safety Week.
A campaign similar to that carried out in 1954 was organised by the London
County Council for the first week of November and the co'operation of Borough
Councils throughout London was requested. As before, arrangements were made
for publicity material such as bookmarks and leaflets to be distributed through the
Islington Borough Council's various Departments, mainly the Public Libraries,
posters were also displayed, and adhesive publicity stamps were affixed to envelopes.
All the necessary material was provided by the London County Council.
Posters, leaflets and publications.
Distribution of leaflets, purchased mostly from the Central Council for Health
Education and the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents, and dealing with
various subjects according to season and circumstances, continued to be made from
the counters of the Public Health Department, and also occasionally through other
Departments of the Council. The monthly journal of the Central Council for
Health Education, " Better Health," was also distributed, at the rate of 1,000 copies
a month, from the Public Libraries, and Town Hall counters.

distributed. In addition, two forms of notice, dealing separately with the prohibition
of smoking and the washing of hands, are being issued to occupiers of food premises
as required.
