“SHUNNED" AFTER BROADCAST
MEALS TALK SEQUEL Mrs Edward Yates, of Driver’s Buildings, Mile End., E., who broadcast on ‘ How I Feed My Family,’ says that the publicity given to her has caused her and her husband to be shunned by her neighbours. Mrs Yates had also told Lord Border and other guests at a five-pence-a-head luncheon of her task of providing meals for herself, her husband, and two-year-old son on 10s 2id a week. ' “ The change in the attitude of our neighbours to my husband and myself has been surprising,” she said. “ They seem to think that what I have done will worsen conditions, and that I have made capital out of our poverty. I thought it would be helpful.” The customary payment for a broadcast of the type given by Mrs Yates is 3gs. When she called at the Labour Exchange for the 18s a week which she usually draws she was told that it was being withheld.
