co-operation of the Oil Heater Manufacturers Association was obtained, and an excellent
display stand was borrowed from them. New and old type heaters were borrowed
from manufacturers together with conversion kits where appropriate. At intervals during
the show home safety films were shown in the tent and fair sized audiences were obtained.
Miscellaneous
Progress on the Health Department film was unfortunately held up due to difficulties
within the Film Society and although the film was actually completed in 1961 it will be
some time before the finished print with sound track will be available.
Messrs Camera Talks Ltd., requested permission to prepare a film strip for Food
Hints for the Over Sixties at the Oxlow Lane Clinic and assistance was given in the
production of the strip, which, when completed, received favourable comment from
many quarters.
In conjunction with the Commonwealth Technical Training work a careers exhibition
was held in Leys Hall. The Council had one stand on which the Health Department
was represented.
