of our activities will be discussed in next year's Annual Report.
We have taken the opportunity during the year to stress the

poisoning was reported in Southgate during 1952. There is none

our work, having regard to the outcome of our Clean Food
Month, together with suggestions relating to the education of food
handlers and the raising of present standards. Meantime, we await
amendments to the present Food and Drugs legislation, now long
overdue.
