Soup kitchen
Sir, — Your Auckland report of the opening of a soup kitchen for hungry children in the Te Puke-Otara Community Centre (“The Press.” July 4) hardly fits our socalled affluent society. So often many housewives do not get the best value for money when buying food and consequently soon run out of money. On a busy morning mothers so often give way to the plea: “Can I buy today mum?” It is so much easier than making up sandwiches. Fish and chips, pies, etc., bought at the school are high in price and low in nutriment. Soups made on the school premises would be most beneficial with the right co-operation. Nutritious soups can be easily made at a cheap price and help the humble sandwich down nicely. We have a number of relatives in Britain and are told that the schools there provide an appetising full course dinner. The volunteer mothers who- serve up. the meals are quite envious. — Yours, etc., A. DELHANTY. June 9, 1980.
