SHORTBREAD FOR THE TROOPS
OME stay-at-homes may tend to forget, and none of us can be reminded too often, that hostilities are still going on in Korea, and that a large number of New Zealanders are involved in them. Molly McNab, of 3ZB, recently hit on an essentially womanly, and practical, way of reminding listeners of the men overseas and the small pleasures that mean much to them. She arranged a baking contest in an -effort to inspire other housewives to patriotic cooking. Shortbread, Miss McNab decided, was a sensible and tasty kind of stuff to give the troops, and on May 1, the 3ZB Women’s Hour announcer will preside over the judging of her Shortbread Cooking Contest. Some women may then be surprised at thé adeptness of some men at turning out a batch of prize-winning shortbread. It is rumoured that professional chefs are among the entrants, and a trio of 3ZB announcers hope to prove the versatility of the male and, as a side issue, of course, take home the £10 offered in prizes. The value of the contest will, however, be determined by quantity as well as quality, since the principal intention is to provide more food parcels for troops in Korea.
