Mr. STANLEY

The ordinary methods of publicity have been by means of posters and leaflets and by arranging for stands at the Industries Fairs and the various national and local shows. Steps have recently been taken with the object of making this publicity more effective, and in particular to provide one or two films for public exhibition illustrating the work of the Department. I am arranging for a few of the more recent posters and leaflets to be shown in the Tea Room.
