Voluntary Organisations
44 talks on all aspects of health were also given by Health Education
staff during the year and included 7 on drug-taking and 9 on accident
prevention.
Exhibitions
Once again a forty foot marquee at the Ashburton Flower Show was
devoted to topics such as accident prevention, smoking, cervical cytology,
dental and other health services. All exhibits were new and involved the
participation of the-public.
A small stand was also designed for part of the Local Government
Display at the Whitsun New Addington Show.
Knowledge constitutes, partially at least, the foundation of health
education and research has already shown that well-informed people are
most likely to practice healthful living.
