The response to this was excellent and the winners were
awarded their prizes during the opening ceremony. All entries
were displayed at the Exhibition.
The Exhibition itself attracted large attendances, many
schools and local organisations attending in organised parties.
Support in exhibiting was given by the South Eastern Gas Board,
the London Electricity Board, the St. John's Ambulance Brigade,
the British Red Cross Society, and the London County Council
Division 6 of the Health Department.
Much of the material was loaned from a variety of sources.
Thanks are due to all those who took active part in or readily
loaned material for the Exhibition and thus helped to ensure its
success. It can be reasonably said that the Exhibition was
effective in placing the problems of safety before the residents
of the Borough in spectacular form.
