the year. Displays were erected for the Health Committee
showing:-
1. The visual aids used for the lung cancer campaign.
2. Methods and media used in health education.
Help was also given towards a display used for the Home
Safety Conference and another depicting simple health education
aids for use in Infant Welfare Centres was shown at the Infant
Welfare Centre Voluntary Helpers' Conference.
A display, showing the health education materials used in
an English Local Authority, was shown at the same time as a talk
was given during an Overseas Seminar at the London University
Institute of Education.
The two bigger exhibitions were the result of the combined
efforts of the department and showed some of its work. They
formed part of the "Welcome to Citizenship" and Local Government
Exhibitions held in the Town Hall during the year.
There is also a constant demand for the making, maintenance
and ordering of notices, illustrations and other visual aids.
A small reference library has been started for the use of
members of the department. A few books, unlikely to date, form
the basis at present and we subscribe to the current medical,
nursing, public health and health education journals, in order
to keep our information as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
Finally, useful information about the town is also obtained
by compiling the local weekly vital statistics and helping to
assemble this Annual Report.
