CONGRATULATIONS to John Brigham. Today he took delivery of a brand new smart forfour car, the prize in our competition to launch the compact Evening Press.

Many readers will be disappointed their name wasn't drawn out. But we are sure they will agree that the car could not have gone to a more deserving winner.

John's wife Pauline, who received a new heart nine years ago, struggles to get about because of ill health. Today she has won more than a car - she's won her independence too.
