Nevertheless impartial observers have remarked on the smartness
and clean appearance of the food shops during the Campaign
Week, and subsequently.
It is felt that the Campaign has achieved its main objective in
bringing to the notice of the public and the food trade the idea of
Clean and Safe Food, but its success depends on maintaining this
interest indefinitely by publicity, education and example by all
those who appreciate the importance of the subject.
As far as the Health Department is concerned, the Clean Food
Campaign Week was only the beginning of our efforts to establish
and maintain a high degree of food hygiene by the housewife, the
trade and the public generally. Every opportunity will be taken
by the Health Department to achieve this result not only by education
and persuasion, but through legislation.
