XI—HEALTH PROPAGANDA
Health Week was held from 10th to 15th October, and this year included an
Exhibition. The Health Week and Exhibition was organised in collaboration with the
Central Council for Health Education, and was a distinct success, although overshadowed
by the critical events of last September which also caused some delay in the
preparation of the exhibition.
The exhibitors were as follows :—
Trade—
National Milk Publicity Council.
Millers Mutual Association.
Gas Light and Coke Company.
Keen, Robinson & Co., Ltd.
Smith's Potato Crisps (1929), Ltd.
Electricity Department.
Cow & Gate, Ltd.
Non-trading—
Air-Raid Precautions Department.
Public Health Department (including Food & Drugs, sanitation and
infectious diseases).
Works Department.
Libraries Department.
Baths Department.
British Social Hygiene Council.
Dental Board of the United Kingdom.
Eugenics Society.
National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
National Council for Maternity and Child Welfare.
Health and Cleanliness Council.
National Council for Mental Hygiene.
In the mornings parties of school children, accompanied by their teachers, were
conducted round the exhibition by a senior member of the department and also given
a short lecture on health subjects. The exhibition was open to the public daily from
2 to 9 p.m. Lectures, illustrated by films, and cooking demonstrations were also
given throughout the week and proved of considerable success. The Air-Raid
Precautions exhibit, showing a gas-proof room, was one of the more popular stands
and advantage was taken of the opportunity to enrol members for national service.
