"If we knew you were coming..."

The best part of 300 lb of sultana cake - all of it baked with loving care - was donated to Braemar Hospital last month. But before it got that far, it was closely inspected by Miss G. E. Gane, cookery teacher at the Nelson Technical School. Object of the inspection, of course, was to ascertain who, among the 96 contestants, had baked the best cake. And the answer was Miss Janet Sannazzaro, 56 Grove Street. As a reward, she received from Odlins, sponsors of the contest, a new electric fry pan
