Health Education.
It was at one time hoped that it would be possible to hold a Health
Week in the district during 1935, and a sum of money had been included in the
estimates for this purpose. A detailed survey of the district however failed to
find a suitable place in which to hold exhibitions, lectures, etc., and the scheme
was therefore abandoned.
A short series of lectures to mothers attending the Infant Welfare
sessions was given in the autumn of 1935 by Miss V. Lake, B.Sc., of the National
Milk Publicity Council. These included practical demonstrations and they
were greatly appreciated.
During the year the Council approved a scheme of setting up Mothercraft
sessions at the Manor House, and these were in fact started in March, 1936.
Apart from this, individual advice and instruction is given to mothers attending
the health centres, and it is hoped shortly to issue a brochure on Maternity and
Child Welfare work.
