of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925, which give power to prohibit

Tuberculosis Care Committee. This Committee continues
its valuable work in supplementing the provision of care and
after care for the victims of this disease, which so often carries
with it distressing economic and social penalties. The Tuberculosis
Care Committee mitigates these in numerous ways and
takes into consideration the special needs of individual patients
and their families, albeit in the strictest possible confidence. I
am indebted to the Secretary for details of the work done in
Merton and Morden and if space permitted I would like to
have reproduced this admirable report in full. For any who
would like detailed information, a copy of the report can
readily be obtained from the Chairman, Secretary or other
officers of the Committee, whose names appear on the fly-leaf
of this report.
The sources of income available to this Committee are
limited, and drawn from the Sunday Cinema Fund, grants
from the Surrey County Council and donations from charities,
guilds, churches, charitable firms and individuals, and the
annual sale of Christmas seals this year raised £146 18s. 3d.
