The Health Exhibition was declared open by the Countess Baldwin
of Bewdley, G.B.E., and during the ensuing week lectures were
held twice daily, dealing with the different aspects of Public Health
work.
Other activities were talks given to various organisations in the
town, and during the mornings school children were conducted in
parties round the stands of the Exhibition, and taken to two cinemas
where Health films were shown.
Advantage was taken of the week for the distribution of leaflets,
posters, etc., in connection with the National Health Campaign.

On February 1st we were honoured by the visit of Sir Kingsley
Wood, Minister of Health, who came to Romford in connection with
Milk Week. During his visit, the Minister took the opportunity of
inspecting the Clinic at Marks Road, and afterwards expressed his
appreciation of the services which the Romford Council had available
for the supervision of the Health of Nursing and Expectant Mothers,
and Children under school age.
