the Dental Service and the Physiotherapy Service. Considerable
interest was shown in the Spirometer on the Physiotherapy stand
and Councillors and Officers had a friendly competition as to who
could blow the greatest amount of air into this piece of apparatus.
No one actually blew the cylinder off its stand but one or two
members of the staff very nearly did !
There was also a Home Safety Section dealing with all aspects
of home safety with particular reference to the prevention of
accidents by burns.
This exhibition was given good publicity in the Press and
many members of the public came to see it. The photograph, published
by the kind permission of the Editor of the Croydon Times,
shows the Chairman of the Council, Councillor H. W. Hayden, J.P.,
and Mr. H. L. W. Cherry, President of the Coulsdon and Purley
Branch of N.A.L.G.O. at the opening of the Exhibition.
