PUBLICITY AND PROPAGANDA.
In connection with the exhibition of the interest film "Young and
Healthy" to a child audience at a local cinema, the Chairman of the Public
Health Committee and myself made a short introductory talk stressing the
importance of personal hygiene.
The Ministry of Information films, entitled "Blood Transfusion,"
"Scabies" and "Scabies Mite," were shown in the Lecture Room at the
Isolation Hospital on 18th January, 1946, to the Nursing Staff, Sanitary
Inspectors and Health Visitors.
