Illustrated talks will be given on hygiene, tuberculosis, nutrition, and infant welfare at Mt. Paran Baptist Church and in the colored public schools. Helpful health programs will also be carried out by school pupils. Representatives from the Council of Federated Colored Clubs will distribute posters and literature about the events which include lectures on home gardening and beautifying the home.
