Rushden Echo, Friday 19th October 1917, transcribed by Kay Collins
Soldiers’ JamThe scholars of the Newton-road and North-end day schools at Rushden so far have been out on four occasions, and the total weight of the blackberries gathered for soldiers’ jam and dispatched to the collecting centre is just over 1,200lbs. The last picking yielded 2cwts., compared with 3½cwts. for the first picking.
