Health and Safety Exhibition

A three-day Health and Safety Exhibition, staged in the St. John Ambulance Hall, Girl Guide Hall, and Fire Station, all of Palmerston Road, attracted good crowds of safety-minded citizens last month.

Consisting of displays erected by health and rescue organisations, the exhibition was officially opened by the Mayor, Mr H. H. Barker.
