Members of the staff also lectured regularly to courses in
training establishments of all kinds both in Croydon and London.
Home Safety
Lectures and demonstrations in clinics, schools and other
organisations continued steadily.
The work by Croydon Fire Prevention Officers in giving over
forty talks in clinics was greatly appreciated and also considered
by them to be useful.
A Home Safety Exhibition was arranged at Croydon Central
Fire Station on the occasion of a St. John Ambulance Association
First Aid Competition.
A Croydon Ambulance Service Officer gave many demonstrations
on "Mouth to Mouth Resuscitation", during afternoon and evening
health education sessions run by the health visitors.
Because of the increase in the number of children under five
years of age taken to hospital following accidental poisoning,
greater emphasis was given to warning about poisoning hazards
and these formed the theme for the Home Safety Stand at the
Ashburton Flower Show.
