The Wartime Economy Book of Recipes for 1945 was published on April 10, 1945. The recipes were “selected from more than 8000 Maritime recipes” submitted for consideration. Over three hundred different communities from the three Maritime Provinces participated.
On pages 21 and 24 are recipes submitted by Mrs. Ronald Fleet of Ecum Secum. I believe this was Myrtle Alice Snow who married Ronald Murray Laird Fleet.
According to his birth record, Ronald Fleet was born November 25, 1911 at Ecum Secum, Guysborough County, NS, the son of Margaret Publicover and Jeffrey Fleet. He and Myrtle Alice Snow wed August 13, 1936 at St. Barnabas Rectory, Ecum Secum.
According to their marriage record, Myrtle was 22 years old, the daughter of Kathryn ‘Kate’ Fleet and Joseph Snow. She was born in Ecum Secum. Ronald was 24 years old.
