Miss FLORENCE PETTY: 'Feeding a Family of Four on 12/- a week '
MISS FLORENCE PETTY has had thirty years of experience in teaching people how to cook. Before the war, she used to visit poor families in the St. Pancras district, not in the manner of the district visitor or Lady Bountiful, but simply as a friend, to tell housewives how they could best manage on their meagre incomes. She earned the nickname of ' The Pudding Lady ' from the children in the district. Then during the war she visited military camps and gave the canteen chefs a few tips, until they used to say that they wished their wives could have heard her. She is also a popular Women's Institute lecturer. This talk is especially for the unemployed, and will show how to make the best of a lean and scanty budget.
