information regarding home safety and an exhibition was prepared. It was decided to ask
outside organisations to contribute towards this and several agreed to present a display.

The Health Education Section arranged a display on water safety and outdoor hazards.
The total exhibition covered 800 sq. ft.
To add interest and draw attention to the need for care at home a children's competition
on "Spot the Hazard" was run with a total number of 550 children entering. A further feature
was a demonstration of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, give n by members of the British Red
Cross Society and the St. John Ambulance Brigade.
Many booklets and leaflets on Home Safety were distributed and it was felt that this had
been a successful means of promoting Home Safety.
