HEALTH EDUCATION.
The National Campaign to secure a wider use of the health
services continued during the early months of the year and the
co-operation of the Council in this effort was continued. Posters
were exhibited in the Centres, on the Cleansing Department's
vehicles, etc., leaflets were distributed through the schools and
at the centres, and appropriate articles were included month by
month in the local edition of " Better Health." This journal has
now been distributed in the Borough for ten years, during which
period 2,000 copies have been issued each month
