This was the 50s/ early 60s NS comp anthology. There was also one called Salome Dear Not In The Porcupine, which was a pick of two volumes.
There are also three earlier competition anthologies:
New Statesman Competitions ed GF Stonier (1946)
New Statesman Competitions (original thinking!) ed Arthur Marshall (1955)
and also - from the start of the competitions in The Week-end Review -
The Week-end Calendar ed Gerald Barry (1932) - originally intended to be just competitions, but changed to include W-eR articles from 1930-1932 as well
At the time of writing you can see the first 240 or so comps on my OU research website,
https://nscompsandpoets.wordpress.com/ - it's a bit raggedy but the material is there along with some solecisms and typos, for which apologies.
