| Editorial comments: | 1200-1300 MT opened Friern Barnet Lawrence Camp Almshouses. The Barnet Press (17 December 1982) has an account of her speech. "There is a very deep and fundamental strain in the British character which wishes not only to talk about our concern for our fellow men and women but wishes to do something practical as well. These houses have been provided in beautiful form and have given us pleasure for many years. If you’re really interested in the future you’re interested in keeping our history so it may be alive for future generations". She gave a surgery (1300-1400) then distributed fuel vouchers to the elderly at the Finchley Old People’s Welfare Committee (1430-1630) before attending the Grange Estate Old People’s Christmas Party (1730-2030) - both annual engagements. |
