THIS MONTH in 1951

A sweet illustration on the cover of our May 12, 1951 issue kicked off Mother’s Day celebrations. Inside we mixed royal news with local reporting, including an invitation to compete in the Jubilee Square Dance competition and share in £6000 of prize money. There was fiction to read, evening gowns from Paris to admire and news of the latest films. Readers could also create sweet recipes using apples and knit a boy’s sweater.
