One large Marquee was allocated for this purpose, and in view
of the topical interest of Clean Air, and the proposals for a Smoke
Control Area, the theme of the Exhibit was restricted this year
to Clean Air.
Whilst bearing in mind the fact that people attending the Show
are seeking entertainment rather than education, previous success
had led us to believe that many people would be interested, and our
hopes were fully justified.
In the selection and arrangement of material for display, the
need for attractive and interesting material was borne in mind,
and this no doubt, contributed to its success.
The exhibits included displays of electric, gas, oil, and solid
smokeless fuel appliances, some of which were in operation.
Other stands demonstrated the dangers, and harmful effects
on health and property, of air pollution, and how the problem is
being tackled locally, with special emphasis on the first Smoke
Control Area proposed in the Borough.
In conclusion I would like to express my appreciation of the
services of the Staff of the Health Department during the year
and to record the promotion of Mr. S. N. Dance, Senior Clerk, to
the position of Chief Clerk.
William D. Hyde,
Medical Officer of Health.
