Mary Moore cookbook/recipes from 1970s

Looking for a copy of "The Mary Moore Cookbook". Canadian classic from the 1970s. Would love to have a copy. But would accept a copy to borrow temporarily!
I am particularly looking for a recipe from this book for "Sure-fire, no-fail White Cake". If anyone has this recipe, I'd love a copy!
Thanks.

      That's it! Thanks so much Antilope. You must have better Google skills than I! My mother in law will be pleased to see this recipe again.

        Google's search feature on their archived newspaper pages is real weak and flawed. They had a grand project to archive thousands of newspapers and then abandoned the project halfway through. You have to specifically go to the newspaper search pages to get better results. Even then it's hit and miss.

        Thanks for checking. That will save me a trip to the reference library to check. I thought it might be in that book but wasn't sure. Turns out it was just published in her newspaper column.
