The stalls devoted to trades and other concerns which have a bearing
on health and comfort were:—
(1) Electricity. (Borough Electrical Engineer and Manager.)
(2) Foam Baths. (Central Baths Superintendent.)
(3) Milk. (National Milk Publicity Council.)
(4) Dried Milk. (Cow and Gate, Ltd.)
(5) Dried Milk. (Ambrosia, Ltd.)
(6) Gas. (Commercial Gas Company.)
(7) Ovaltine. (A. Wander, Ltd.)
(8) Fumigants. (British Fumigants Company, Ltd.)
(9) Brown bread. (Hovis, Ltd.)
(10) Tower Hill Improvement Scheme.
These stalls comprised a good selection of such concerns for a health
exhibition.
There was one other stall—exhibits of work done by the Borough Handicraft
Class, the exhibits being for sale. This was presided over by the Care
Committee Secretary, helped by the Tuberculosis Visitors and voluntary
workers.
The Exhibition was attractively laid out and there was plenty of room for
those who came to see and learn.
I am confident that good value was obtained from this Exhibition, and
it would be invidious for me to pick out any particular stall. I would like
to mention, however, that the pestology stall, together with the Chairman's
remarks at the opening, must have helped in no small way to a production of
" bug-mindedness " in the Borough.
All the stalls were well patronised and the supervisors were kept busy
throughout the whole week.
B.—Health Lectures.
The following lectures were given in the upper hall of the Art Gallery:—
" Happy Childhood " by Dr. Browne Kutschbach.
" Nutrition " by Dr. Sloan Chesser.
" Cancer " by Dr. Cramer.
" Tuberculosis " by Dr. Harley Williams.
" Venereal Disease " by Dr. Forgan.
These lectures were well attended by very attentive audiences who
showed by their questions and their applause their keenness to learn and
their appreciation of the lectures. After each lecture a cinema film was shown
indicating some public health activity.
