It is desirable that as many members as possible of the public health and works committees of the emergency precautions scheme should attend these talks which will be essentially of a practical nature. It is intended that members from Carterton. Grey town. Featherston and Martinborough should meet in Greytown as you will no doubt realise that it would be almost a physical impossibility for me to conduct a separate course in each centre."
