Talks by experts to help the housewife
' How to distinguish mushrooms and edible berries'
This is the first of four talks in which various experts from the Natural History Museum are going to advise the housewife on difficulties she may be encountering at the present time. The second talk in the group will be broadcast on Saturday at 10.0 p.m., and there will be two further talks next week.
Tonight's broadcast should be of particular help to both adults and children evacuated from large towns into country districts, and faced, often for the first time, with the problem of what is or is not safe to eat from field and hedgerow.
