from the London markets.
5. Nutrition.
A combined Milk Week for Bomford and Hornchurch was held
in February, during which by means of lectures, film displays, and
public meetings, which were well attended, the importance of a
pure milk supply and the necessity of increasing the amount consumed
were brought to the notice of the public.
