Pickett, of the Health Department, Wellington, gave a most interesting address on sanitation, hygiene and personal preparedness in the event of an air raid. She stressed the necessity of chewing a piece of rubber should a bombing raid occur, and putting cotton wool smeared with vaseline, paraffin, melted beeswax or melted candle grease in the ears to protect the eardrums. Children should be kept well under control and not allowed to wander away from home and be provided with identification discs.
