A series of lectures and practical demonstrations were organised under the
direction of Mr. A. W. Moore, a member of the Port Health Staff, who is officially
recognised under the Home Office Scheme as an Instructor in Air-raid Precautions.
By noon on Saturday, 1st October, all members of the staff had been through a
course. Their attendance, which was most regular and conscientious, often involved
considerable inconvenience to themselves and interference with their leisure hours.
Your Medical Officer, in reporting the success of the course to the Committee, drew
attention to the fine spirit which had been displayed by the staff, and to the devotion
and indefatigable energy of Mr. Moore, to whose efforts the success of the course
was so largely due.
Considerable progress has been made since the September crisis in developing
the scheme of co-operation between the Port Health Authority and the Port of London
Authority, and numerous and fruitful consultations have taken place between the
two bodies and their Officers.
The completion of the scheme in all its details has not yet been possible, since
much delay has unavoidably occurred from consultations with the Government
Departments concerned.
A full account of the scheme must, therefore, necessarily be deferred until the
Report for 1939.
