Workers at Export Packing Services, Ltd., Chipping Warden, receive flu injections from the factory nurse, Miss Delia Peasnell. – Vintage Photograph

This week, workers at Export Packing Services, Ltd., Chipping Warden, received flu injections from the factory nurse, Miss Delia Peasnell, of Woodford Halse. The factory, which employs nearly 900 people, was able to provide injections to 500 after obtaining anti-flu serum from Crookes Laboratories, Ltd., of Basingstoke, Hants. The company also offered free injections during the last flu outbreak and around 350 employees took advantage of the offer. Despite the 10% absence of total labour force and office staff, which is twice as much as usual at this time of the year, personnel manager Mr. Colin Rickwood assured that the company is managing to hold its own and has enough serum for another 150 people, should anyone change their mind.This week, workers at Export Packing Services, Ltd., Chipping Warden, received flu injections from the factory nurse, Miss Delia Peasnell, of Woodford Halse.

The factory, which em- ploys nearly 900 people, ob- tained enough anti-flu serum from Crookes Laboratories, JUOD NO 2 JAM 1970 ma Ltd., of Basingstoke, Hants, to give injections to 500. “We realised that not everyone would volunteer. so it was not necesary to get any more,” explained Mr. Colin Rickwood, the person- nel manager. The company gave free in- jections during last year’s big flu outbreak and about 350 employgar cama for- ward. “There is still enough serum for another 150 people if anyone changes their mind,” said Mr. Rick- wood. MERE The factory is without 10 per cent of its total labour force and office staff, twice as many as is usual at this time of the year. Mr. Rickwood added: “We are managing to hold our own at the moment, but it could be serious if we were really hammered hu the flu.
