Switzerland :
In reply to our questionnaire, the Hygiene office of the Federal Public Health Department^ states that propaganda in matters of Hygiene and Social Welfare is not centralized in any single government office, nor is it the subject of any special legislation.
Such propaganda is, however, effectively carried on by private organizations which are responsible both for the production and appropriate distribution of films on the subject. A number of associations concerned with preventive medicine and social welfare organize public cinema shows accompanied by popular lectures, while films bearing on hygiene and of a kind to diffuse its essential rules in everyday life are regularly shown in the cinema theatres.
Special mention should be made of the following organizations as responsible for the production and distribution of Films on Social Health questions : —
The Swiss School and People's Cinematograph of Berne ; The Swiss Red Cross Society, at Berne ; The Central Swiss Health Office.
Luxemburg :
The Hygiene Service of the Grand Duchy informs us that Social and Welfare Propaganda by means of the film is entirely in the hands of the Ministry of Health, which places its cinema material at the disposal of private and official organizations interested in public health questions.
These organizations carry on an active propaganda by the regular public exhibition of appropriate films accompanied by popular lectures.
Special meetings with projections and lectures are organized for the students of primary and secondary schools.
Luxemburg does not produce its own cinematographic material and all its requirements are supplied from abroad.
Jugoslavia :
The Ministry of Public Health in Belgrade informs us that the several Jugoslavian Hygiene Institutes, of which there are nine in all, are entrusted with the task of hygiene propaganda by means of the film ; apart from this, however, private associations interested in questions of public health carry on similar propaganda in the same field, the requisite films being placed at their disposal by the said Institutes.
