![MEALS ON WHEELS SERVICE The Council's scheme, which is operated by the Health Department, began on the 1st March, 1966, the County Council sharing the cost. A small van was purchased and two female part-time Driver/Helpers appointed. Until mid-year 196? the meals were obtained from a National Coal Board Canteen, but later arrangements v;ere made with the County Council to supply all the meals from their Hostel at Merthyr Road, Pontypridd. This has proved a most amicable arrangement and I am grateful to the Warden for his assistance. In September, 1967, it was decided to transfer the Monday meals to Fridays, thus giving a better *’rnid-week'’ service. Meals are now served to recipients on Tuesday and Thursday or Wednesday and Friday. The following table shews the growth of the service during 196?!
