etc, are carrying out to the best of their ability the
message conveyed by clean food campaigners:—Geanliness

ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION.
For some years Crayford and its adjoining districts have
been concerned at the excessive amount of atmospheric pollution
caused by industrial plants in the surrounding neighbourhood,
particularly that of cement dust
As a result of an inaugural meeting of representatives of
several districts held at Dartford in July of 1952, it was resolved
to form "The Thameside Advisory Committee for the
Abatement of Atmospheric Pollution".
The objects of the Committee are as follows:—
(a) The prevention and abatement of atmospheric pollution
in the area from time to time covered by the Committee.
(b) The collection, consideration and dissemination of information
with regard to atmospheric pollution.
(c) The stimulation of action by local authorities, Government
Departments, industrial and commercial undertakings
and factories, and others, to bring about the
prevention and abatement of atmospheric pollution.
/
(d) The making of representations with regard to atmospheric
pollution to local authorities, Government Departments,
industrial and commercial undertakings and factories,
and others.
(e) To expend monies in connection with any purpose concerning
atmospheric pollution and its prevention, or
abatement or control.
