CAMPAIGN ADVERTISING THE HEALTH SERVICES.
As part of the National Campaign for the advertisement of the
health services, arrangements were made for the exhibition of
posters giving publicity to the local health services, fifteen 16-sheet
D.C. and 500 D.C. posters being exhibited each month. A further
150 D.C. posters were supplied to local organisations and for
exhibition at local cinemas, while 10,000 folders were distributed
monthly. Articles dealing with the health services appropriate to
the particular services on which attention was being concentrated
appeared in the journals of local organisations, while at the meetings
of local organisations reference was made to the health services.
