Board, the Surrey Fire Brigade and the Metropolitan Police
have also appointed representatives.
The policy at present is to concentrate propaganda to
one particular subject each month. The campaign opened in
November, during which month the subject was " Fireguards,"
whilst December was confined to the dangers of poisoning.
Propaganda took the form of leaflets and posters mainly, at
the outset, facilities at the Welfare Centres, Council Offices
and the offices and showrooms of the Gas and Electricity
Undertakings being used. Circulars were sent to all schools
in the area giving facts and figures and head teachers were
asked to associate themselves with the Council's efforts and
to press home the campaign to the children by any means
which were considered appropriate. Response from the schools
was very good indeed and some schools, which expressed a
desire for film strips to show to the children, were supplied with
films by the Central Council for Health Education.
The work of the Home Safety Council received good
publicity from articles in the local Press and at the end of
the year arrangements were well in hand for an enthusiastic
campaign for 1954.
