Clean Air and Clean Food Exhibition
A combined Clean Air and Clean Food Exhibition was
held at the Town Hall from 27th September to the 4th
October. It is twelve years since Ealing's Clean Food
campaign was launched with an Exhibition. and although a
Clean Air Exhibition was held in the Northolt area at the
time this was declared a smoke control area, the public
in the Borough as a whole have not had an opportunity to
learn about this important subject. It therefore seemed
appropriate that a combined exhibition should be held.
The Victoria Hall, the Queens Hall and the Princes
Room were all used for the purpose. The Clean Air section
was in the Victoria Hall, the various exhibitors con
structing their own stands, subject to the Public Health
Department's overall approval. A large number of concerns
exhibited including the National Coal Board, the Coal
Utilisation Council, the North Thames Gas Board, the
Southern Electricity Board and the Esso Petroleum Co. The
Public Health Departmens s stand included an automatic
Question and Answer device which proved particularly
effective in providing the public with information. Pre
recorded replies by the Medical Officer of Health were
given to twenty questions relating to atmospheric pollution
and its prevention. In addition full details of the
Council's smoke control programme were available, together
with examples of the way routine pollution measurements
are taken regularly in the Borough.
The Clean Food Exhibition was held in the Queens Hall
where it was decided that a more effective lay out could
be achieved by a single co-ordinated plan by a firm of
Exhibition Fitters. The result I think, justified this
decision. The firms which exhibited were J.Lyons and Co.,
the Southern Electricity Board, Prestcold,Benham & Sons,
