(B) Sociological-
This subcommittee investigated the relation, if any, between the influence of rents for market stalls on the price of foodstuffs and ancillary matters, such as transport charges, likely to affect the price of food. The subcommittee came to the somewhat surprising conclusion that there was no correlation between the two.
The subcommittee also went into the question of employers of labour providing meals for their employees, and also the conditions under which they are supplied.
(C) Publicity-
The subcommittee arranged for a series of broadcast talks and lectures to clubs, schools and other institutions, and to nurses and midwives.
The following took part in these lectures:
(i) Dr. Au King to University students;
(ii) Dr. S. Y. and H. Y. Cheng over the radio on "What the expectant mother should eat", "Infant feeding" and "The correct diet for children from two to five years of age".
(iii) Mr. Flippance to the Press on "The home cultivation of vegetables".
(iv) Dr. Herklots to the Rotary and Press on "The value of fish as food".
(v) Dr. J. Lanchester over the radio on "What to eat".
(vi) Dr. Li Tsoo-yiu to the Chinese Y.M.C.A. on "Nutrition in relation to health and disease".
(vii) The Chairman to the Press on "Soya bean milk", "Soya bean cake", "Suggestions for home vegetable cultivation in Hong Kong" and "Emergency rations".
(viii) Dr. F. I. Tseung to the Press on "The Nutrition of expectant mothers", "The problem of infant feeding", "Principles of feeding of pre-school child" and "Nutrition of the school child and young adult".
(ix) Dr. Li also prepared a list of vegetables favoured by northern Chinese which was forwarded to the New Territories Agricultural Association and the Hong Kong Refugee and Social Welfare Council for their guidance, and on vitamins for the New Territories Agricultural Association annual show. Pamphlets in Chinese on the feeding of babies, children and expectant mothers were distributed in the New Territories by the District Officers.
9. Summary.
The first full year of the expanded Nutrition Research Committee was characterized by satisfactory progress in and development of the activities of this body. Important investigations were undertaken both from the scientific and sociological standpoint and a considerable amount of useful propaganda was carried out on dietaries suitable for the bulk of the population living near, on or below the poverty line.
