reports for the Home Safety Committee. All the members of my
staff have been very willing to assist voluntary organisations who
wish to include prevention of accidents in their training programmes.
During December, 1962 and January, 1963 a Home Safety
Exhibition was held in the foyer of the Council Offices following
which the Exhibition was displayed at the Council Libraries and
the Clinics of the County Council. From the various comments
received it was obvious that this Exhibition proved very successful.
I should like to thank all the members of my staff who have
participated in this very important aspect of preventive medicine
under the general direction of the Divisional Health Visitor.
