Sorry Dani, I was busy doing an assignment for work and din’t have time to mess round saving to HDD, then uploading to a hosting site, then linking to here - I was relying on people having the integrity not to cheat 
Cheats happened before . I thought (like on Hosenfield’s questions) that is better to do myself this cheating instead of other ( ) and asking for another quiz.
Thanks pdf27. In that very moment I haven’t any clue and I just wanted to embold that is very easy to cheat.
BDL, it is your turn! 
Ok-
We all know the gold ‘oscar’ statues that are given out every year at the Academy Awards. What were they from during the war?
Plaster of Paris.
(Well possibly Plaster of Pittsburg !)
Nope, not plaster
Brass?
Due to the metals shortage during World War II, Oscars were made of
painted plaster for three years. Following the war, all of the awarded plaster figures were redeemed for gold-plated metal ones.
Not brass or plaster
The site I got if off said something else Tsolias. Suppose we’ll have to go with the official site though.
Cuts - your question
I’ve tried Google but could only come up with this:

Ninth paragraph.
Not all Oscars look alike! In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas of the statuette; ventriloquist Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honoured with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes for his animated feature Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. During the II World War the Oscar statuettes were made of plaster in support of the war effort. After the war, winners exchanged their plaster Oscars for golden ones.

Fifth paragraph.
Parer said Australia’s first Oscar was made in plaster because there was an acute metal shortage in the United States during the war. Plaster was used to make all Academy Award statuettes presented in 1943, 1944 and 1945, but only as a temporary measure. At war’s end all recipients, including legendary stars such as Greer Garson and James Cagney, were instructed to return the plaster statuettes so that they could be replaced with normal Oscars.

Fifth line down; composition.
Britannia alloy, copper plate, nickel plate, gold plate (during the World War II years the Academy awarded plaster Oscars; win ners were later presented with the real thing)

Academy Awards, March 25 - second paragraph.
The Oscar, formally known as the Award of Merit of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was designed by sculptor George Standly. It depicts a man standing on a film reel and clutching a sword before him. The first Oscars were made of bronze but are now made of gold-plated britannium.

Tenth Paragraph, on the left of the second photograph.
The statuette itself is very vulnerable and prone to breaking off above the feet if not held properly at the base, as the proud mesomorph Oscar© is top-heavy and tapers down sharply at his ankles. There once was a vulnerability of another kind, when the Oscar© was made from plaster due to the shortage of metals caused by World War II. Bing Crosby, winner for 1944’s “Going My Way,” was practicing his golf swing in his living room when he clipped his plaster Best Actor award on the mantle-piece and decapitated it. He, and all other winners of plaster Oscars©, was given metal awards after the wartime shortages were eliminated.

- During WWII, to conserve on materials, Oscar statuettes were made of plaster rather than tin, copper and gold plate. When the war was over, recipients of the plaster Oscars, including Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman, were belatedly given the real thing.

A look at Oscar: War-time -
During World War II, Oscars were made of plaster because metals were scarce. After the war ended and there was no longer a metal shortage, the plaster Oscars could be redeemed for a gold plated one.

Halfway down:
TUCKER: And to view some of your fabulous photos! I can’t help noticing you look just as shiny and solid in person. Gold is definitely your color. Have the statuettes always been made out of that precious metal?
OSCAR: Not during World War II. I did my part for the war effort then. All winners received plaster Oscars – which they exchanged for the real thing after the war.
I don’t often use Google, are these answers any good ?
Git, just post your question
I obviously should have checked more than one site :oops:
Who was ‘Babs,’ what did ‘Babs’ write and why was the subject, (and the author,) so important ?
Any additional gen you can come up with earns you Brownie point.
And points means prizes !
Any additional clues, maybe…?
‘Babs’ had… err, well babs.
barbara cartland character in Little Britain wrote terrible Schmaltzy romantic bollocks, like wilbur smith but without guns or africa!
Nice try, but get closer to WWII in Britain.
As a complete shot in the dark is Babs the compiler of the times crossword who inadvertently use key codewords from D-Day in one of the cross words. Pluto, Overlord, Juno I think appeared in the work.

or was it the cook book?
