At home, a woman's house becomes. a living monument to her own. epecial . interests. what's what causes a house .to become A borne, I think, * Fair officials must ,have been PleaSed by the number of entries in the baby show, It was very likely the baby .show which helped to swell the crowd at the fair on Wednesday .evening.. As I. looked around me, recognized several grandmothers, uncles, cousins, aunts, grandfathers and family friends waiting for their own favorite tykes to be chosen as winners. Unfortunately, only a first, second and third prize could be offered in each :CILAAA. As one lady put it, "What a shame? Every -baby is a winner as far as I'm concerned." Talking with some of the mothers, they were disappointed that the baby show became so lengthy. At least one mother was unable to keep her child entertained until the last class began. She had to give in and take the baby home to bed. Most mothers agree that the afternoon is the ideal time for a baby show — or the very early evening. Perhaps additional judges should be engaged so that classes could run simultaneously and. keep the time element more in line with babies' schedules. * *• * Speaking of contests, I was one of many who was struck by poise and grace of the young girls in the beauty contest. Each of the girls who took part represented her sponsor in the very nicest fashion. Sitting in the audience, it was difficult to choose a trio of winners. I suppose the key to success in that contest was the interview which took place long before the girls made their way to the platform. Judges were looking for a gal with beauty — both outward loveliness and inner charm. This latter quality is often the deciding factor although I have no way of knowing whether this was the case Wednesday evening. In my opinion, young ladies in the Exeter district are among the prettiest to be found anywhere. special went, to Mrs. Dave Cross with Mrs. Keith McLaren runner-up. Mrs. McLaren had the best jams and jellies at the fair and Mrs. Carrie Russell had the finest home canned products. LIQUID PAINTING Liquid painting top awards went to Mrs. F. Kipper, Zurich, who tallied six firsts and one third. Other noteworthy exhibitors were Miss Kay Gackstetter, RR 1 Exeter; Mrs. Hugh Morenz; Barbara Dougall; and Mrs. Frank Lostell, RR 3 Exeter. FLOWERS Mrs. Dave Cross exhibited the greatest number of winning flowers at the fair. She had six firsts, five seconds and five thirds. Close behind was Mrs. F. Kipper, Zurich, with four firsts, three seconds and two thirds. Mrs. Bert Selves had four firsts. of Exeter Fall Fair for the second year in a row! This year, Mrs, Toornstra had 30 entries in the domestic class. At the fair and Won Prizes with 28 of them.. Inclass 50, Mrs, Toornstra, entered all 2 2 items. She won first for her homemade brown bread, homemade rolls, homemade Chelsea buns, shortbread, plain 'oatmeal cookies, date squares, cherry tarts, white cake, chiffon cake, apple pie and lemon pie. She got seconds for her coffee cake, plain bran muffins, tea biscuits, banana loaf, raspberry cake and angel cake. Butter tarts, banana cake and light fruit cake earned her three third prizes. In this class, it was the first time that Mrs. Toornstra had ever baked Chelsea buns or coffee cake with yeast. The most difficult part of the coffee cake baking was finding a recipe. "I finally got one from a neighbour," she confided. Mrs. Toornstra also entered the birthday cake Domestic special, the Canadian Canners specials and two chocolate cake specials, and won firsts for all eight entries. The two-time winner says this will be her last year as domestic champ. She has no designs on the crown for next year although she will be exhibiting in some classes. A woman of many talents, Mrs. Toornstra plans to enter more flowers, vegetables and hand SeWn articles ,another year, For those contemplating the baking crown next year, Mrs. Toornstra has .some hints. "The. plainer the recipes the better," she has learned, "Stick to the recipe, measure carefully, use the correct pan, don't give up too easily, use good quality ingredients and remember that taste, looks and arrangement are what the judges watch for." For fair officials, Mrs. Toornstra would suggest a few more changes each year in the items to be baked for class 50. She would also add her voice to the many who are asking that prize list books be mailed out earlier. The following recipes are three prize winners from Mrs. Toornstra's files.
