The first contest was heft way back in 1949 at New York's Waldorf Astoria Ho- tel, and since then almost $2 Million in prizes has been awarded for winning re- cipes. In keeping with the times, a new microwave category was added to the 1984 Bake - Off, which was held in San Diego and judged by media food experts. One hundred ten finalists from around the nation competed with origin- al recipes in five categories. Eileen Kotval Thorston, winner of the microwave category, left with $15,000 in prize money and a big smile. Her winning recipe for "Quick Apple Pan Pan- cakes" appears below.

Listowel Christian School KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION May 15 9a1 .®3 p.m At Listowel Christian School RR 1 Listowel 291-3086 .0.$3,000,000.00 of CANADA'S BEST HOME FURNISHINGS! three sizes. Do you have a pattern which gives one size only? A size thirty-eight, and a plain cardigan. Mrs. Dryer, Wallaceburg, Ont. 0-0-0 You are not the only one who has had this problem, Mrs. Dryer, even I at times have made the mistake of following the directions for the wrong size! What I have found to be the best solution to this problem is to outline the size being worked. In other words, circle with a colored pencil or ball point pen, each set of figures or directions that pertain to the size you are knitting. I am sure you will find that this helps' tremend- ously. If . you are" working from a graph style pattern, again just outline the size you are making. The pattern I sent Mrs. -Dryer 4s---nlain..._stocking- stitch V-neck raglan style cardigan, knit with a double knitting weight of wool. Leaflet No. 6804 has instruc- tions for bust sizes thirty-two through to and including size forty-two inches. This is a good basic cardigan pattern, and so often needed in the large sizes. Another cardigan design I have in a size thirty-eight is Leaflet No. 6737. This one calls for a 4 -ply fingering wool and is knitted in the raglan style also, but from the neck down, dividing for the sleeves after the raglan shapings have been com- pleted. The back and fronts are then all knitted in one, and the sleeves are then knitted on four needles, thus eliminating seams. An added touch for a classic cardigan, are the tiny cables that are worked along the raglan shapings. The same leaflet also has the same cardigan in children's sizes six tiro' twelve years. 0-0-0 Sleeveless vests, whether they slipover or button -up are always porular at any time of year. Light knit or crochet provide both warmth and elegance and are quick and easy to make. This week's pattern No. 7207 or any other leaflet mentioned, can be obtained by sending 75 cents PLUS a stamped self addressed re- turn envelope. If you do nom have a stamp or envelope, please enclose an extra 50 cents to coverthe cost of handling and print your name and address.
