The Exhibition, which was held in the Large Hall
from Tuesday 8th to Saturday 12th May, was fitted up
with stands which were let to various firms who were
asked to assist in the work of health propaganda. Several
stands were also lent to Voluntary Associations including
the following:—
The Institute of Hygiene,
The Metropolitan Water Board,
The Dental Board of the United Kingdom,
The Health and Cleanliness Council,
The British Social Hygiene Council,
The National Milk Publicity Council,
The National Baby Week Council,
The Public Health and Maternity and Child Welfare
Departments had stands of their own.
In addition to the lectures and cinemas there were
demonstrations in the side rooms on infant and child
welfare, cooking, red cross work and various other
matters. Demonstrations were also given at the stands.
A competition was arranged for school children in order
to promote their interest in "Health Week."
Leaflets were available for free distribution for those
who were interested in any special subject such as
mothercraft, dietetics, cleanliness, the danger of flies and
other pests, the care of the teeth, rheumatism, cancer,
the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, influenza
and measles.
As on the last occasion when "Health Week " was
held I circularised various organisations in order to
request them to use their influence to make the Week
a success.
Approximately ten thousand persons attended the
Exhibition which was reserved for school children in the
mornings. Health Week was most successful and was
especially appreciated by the school teachers and their
pupils.
