the Trophy after a close contest before a large and appreciative
audience, who were able to fully enjoy the proceedings thanks to
the co-operation of Mr. Bond, Visual Aids Officer, of the Education
Department who provided amplification equipment, and
buzzers for the contestants. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Laver
of the Education Department who arranged the incident and
questions for the practical section of the final.
I should also like to record my thanks to Miss E. Thompson of
the Social Services Department for undertaking the organisation
of the Quiz and for all the work she has carried out in connection
with Home Safety including attending meetings of the Greater
London Home Safety Council. Thanks are also recorded to the
members of the Home Safety Advisory Panel under their Chairman,
Miss A.I. Walker, for their continued interest in this important
subject. Whilst fatalities for home accidents have been slightly
reduced, they are still far too high, and only constant care in the
home, particularly where the very young or the very old are concerned,
can bring an improvement. This constant care can only be
obtained by constant vigilance by those who have the opportunity
to point out hazards and make suggestions for their removal, and
by constant propoganda to educate everyone in the need for home
safety.
