PROPO.gING the toast " Government" at the Conference Luncheon of the Institute of Public Cleansing last Friday, Aid, G. Dixon, J.P., of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, suggested that in building up statistics on health, the • Minister of Health, Mr. Ernest Brown, M.C., should not forget public cleansing. He also suggested a mandate that no officer of public cleansing should be appointed unless he had passed the examination of the Institute. There should be no, collection or disposal of refuse by rule of thumb.

Mr. Ernest Brown, in his response, said that an enormous amount of work had been performed in salvage by the members of the Institute. Referring to after-war planning, he said: Dream your dream and draw your 'blueprint,' but you must also draw consistent and reasoned public support." The danger hour would be after the military victory, for we should all want to relax.

Giving the toast of " The Institute," Ald, R. C. Morrison, M.P., J.P., of Tottenham., said that the Institute had carried out fine work over a long period of years. It was an uphill fight against older methods. Some parts of the country were still 50 years behind the -times in respect of cleansing. Referring to'Tottenham's arrangements, this now had a fleet of dustless vehicles and many dustless bins, whilst cleansing was carried out at half the cost of a few years ago.

The President, Mr. A. L. Thomson, in his reply, mentioned that sometimes a material is described as " waste " because 'We do not understand its properties.' In the post-war period we may have to be far more careful in salvage than we were in pre-war days.
