UNSTATELY HOME
Old Couple To Admit Public
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, March 17.
An 80-year-old couple, Mr and Mrs Jack Nash, are to open their “unstately” home a converted stable—to the public at 2s 6d a head to draw attention to the problems of old age, says the “Guardian.” They will give all the money they receive to a group of boys who try to help old persons. Among the guests invited to the opening are three other home owners who also charge the public to see where they live—the Marquis of Bath, the Duke of Bedford, and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. Lord Bath has already accepted the invitation. Mr and Mrs Nash live on a pension of £5 a week. “I shall offer people a cup of tea and point out our black oak dresser,” said Mrs Nash. “We want the public to realise the problems of old age.”
