IS MODERN ADAM TO WIN APPLE PIE CONTEST?
\ } ] ITH 136 "Modern Eves" cooking in competition with him, a "Modern Adam," Mr. McAuslan, _ has been fortunate enough to get into the finals of the Dunedin Contest. At the time of writing it was not possible to ascertain who is the final winner. of the contest in Dunedin. The five winnets of the local contest competed at the St. James Theatre during the Community Sing. When Aunt Daisy arrived at 4ZB recently there were 137 apple pies con-
fronting her, all shapes and sizes, These were the entries in the contest, and later the pies were displayed in the window of a prominent city store. There .were hundreds of housewives looking at- the pies, and probably they: picked up a few hints. It would be interesting to know how many Dunedin husbands have had lunch in town recently, and how many will have to have lunch in town during the final contest. Also how many husbands have had to eat trial pies!
The pies were judged by Misses McGibbon and Vernon, of the Home Science School, of the Otago University, and Miss Finlay, formerly a demonstrator of the Corporation Gas Dept. These judges selected the best five pies, which were made by: Mrs. Allen, 11 Terrace Ave., Dunedin. Mr. McAuslan, 76 Matyhill Terrace, Mornington, Dunedin. Miss M. Catchpole, Port Chalmers. Mrs. Scoons, 91 Oxford Street, South Dunedin. Mrs. Paterson, 19 West Avenue. The Dunedin Gas Company had generously installed five bright and shiny. new stoves ready for the final cooking contest. They were placed on the stage of St. James Theatre, in full view of the public. A local contest has also been held in Christchurch, the five preliminary winpners being: Mrs. A. Thomas, Wildbery Street, Christchurch. Mrs. D. G. Dalley, 14 Westhoven Street, Papanui. Mrs. Green, 4 St. James Avenue, Christchurch. Mrs. M. C. Branch, Mayfield. Mrs. W. Ford, 10 Kerr Street, Ashburton. There has been great excitement in both centres, while the choice of local winners has been going on. The pies have been sent to orphanages and children’s homes in both Christchurch and Dunedin, so that many childdren have enjoyed delicious apple pies for dinner on several days.
