HEALTH PROPAGANDA.
The usual continuous and detailed advice on health
matters, which forms part of the daily duty for Doctors, Health
Visitors, Midwives, Mental Health Workers and other Officers
of the Department and certain general health propaganda features
were continued. A well-constructed and attractive display panel
continued on loan from the Central Council for Health Education,
together with a series of topics dealing with such subjects as
" Food Hygiene," " Diphtheria Immunisation," " Dental
Hygiene," " Work of the Health Visitor," etc.
The Chief Sanitary Inspector and his staff have devoted
much time to education on clean food handling to those concerned
in canteens and the food trade, using material also prepared by
the Central Council for Health Education. Two poster sites are
retained in the Borough on which the Central Council's posters
are also displayed.
Posters and pamphlets supplied by the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Accidents, have been displayed in Infant Welfare
Centres, emphasising the dangers from which babies and small
children should be protected in the home.
The monthly journal, " Better Health," continued to be distributed
and in great demand at Welfare Centres. Booklets and
pamphlets on ante-natal care and parentcraft are supplied at the
Ante-Natal Clinics.
