Further talks have been given to the Electrical Association
for Women at Electric House, Wellesley Road, Croydon on this
subject and also at three Infant Welfare Centres.
Proban and Bri-Nylon display boards were on show at all
Infant Welfare Centres during last autumn. At present research
and processing on these materials is costly and only constant
demand will reduce the price.
It is hoped that a wider variety of flare-free materials
will be available within the next two years.
Housework with Ease
Although R. So. P. A. arranged courses at their London headquarters
to train local instructors it would have meant releasing
a number of the Corporation's staff, and a more convenient
and economical method was to arrange training sessions for
Health Visitors in Croydon.
Following the procedure adopted by the Royal Society, a
teacher-organiser of the Women's League of Health and Beauty,
Mrs. W. R. Elliott, was asked to give two sessions in one afternoon
in Croydon for the Corporation's Health Visitors. These
were most useful and were followed up by demonstrations at two
Infant Welfare Centres and a Toddlers' Club. Three other sessions
were given by health visitors and the health education officers.
