During the year voluntary help was again generously given by many
ladies in the district, in assisting in the operation of the infant welfare
centres. Among these, special mention should be made of the members
of the British Red Cross Society, who continued to supply the great
majority of the voluntary help given.
The ladies of the W.V.S. continued to organize the sales and distribution
of the Welfare Foods, previously administered by the Ministry
of National Insurance.
