The Ascot soup kitchen was a success.
The following report has been received from the Teachers who have organised the Soup Kitchen with so much energy and success.
“This attempt to cope with the food difficulty has now been at work for about a month, and owing to the kindness of many friends has met with considerable success. In spite of the fact that on four occasions one school has had to stand out because of the small capacity of our boiler, the average number of children partaking of the soup is 140. Our sincere thanks are due to those who have made this effort possible, to those who have given help by sending vegetables, cereals, etc., those who give of time and labour in making and preparing for the soup, and in serving it. The appreciation of the children, and the knowledge that it is a little portion of ‘our bit’ will repay our efforts.”
