BRUSSELS 887-6273 A beautiful dark-haired East Wawanosh township girl has been crowned Huron County Dairy Princess for 1986-87, to reign over the dairy industry and act as goodwill ambassador for the next twelve months. Seventeen-year-old Angela Nethery, daughter of Alex and Jean Nethery of RR 4, Brussels, was chosen over seven other contestants for the prestigious title, while a Blyth-area girl was chosen runner-up. Anita Bos, also 17, daughter of Art and Corrie Bos of Bellestein Farms, RR 3, Blyth, came in a very close second, in the opinion of the judges Shirley and Ken Underwood of Port Elgin, and Wendy Anderson of Tavistock, who admitted it was “very difficult indeed to select the winners.’’ The contest to choose the annual Dairy Princess for the county began last Friday afternoon at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Com­ munity Centre, when the judges held an informal interview with each of the contestants, on subjects ranging from their knowledge of the dairy industry to their personal aspirations. Later, the girls, their escorts and parents were guests at a dinner hosted by the Huron County Milk Committee, then each Surprise Dave and bring this ad into Brussels Agromart. He will give you one dollar [$1.00] off every litre of Frigate purchased. OFFER EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 30,1986 Give Roundup that extra boost with Frigate. By helping it penetrate the leaf’s waxy surfaces more easily, FRIGATE surfactant gives ROUNDUP added power when it comes to zapping quackgrass; more ROUNDUP gets into the weed so control is enhanced. Use the low rate of ROUNDUP plus FRIGATE in 200L of water or more, the best combination for quackgrass control. Chipman A Business Unit of C I L Inc Sh.nrvtiwk. Onl.itu» I.W. 1/1 l.onguriul.

The crowded dance hall was tense with anticipation by the first intermission, then thunderous ap­ plause broke out in approval of the judges’ choices as first the runner- upwasannou need,and then the winner. Reigning Huron Dairy Princess Liz Stewart presented Miss Nethery with a bouquet of roses, then placed the diamond tiara on her head, symbolizing the beginning of a new reign, before the girls began receiving a vast array, of gifts and awards from groups and businessmen associat­ ed with the dairy industry. Miss Nethery is in Gr. 13 at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wing­ ham, and hopes to train as a dental assistant next year, although she has not yet chosen a college. During the past summer she worked as a baby sitter, as well as working on the family dairy farm; her interests include figure skat­ ing, singing in her church choir, the4-H Homemaking Club, and participation in her school’s Effec­ tive Speaking Club. Her skating awards include the Gold Dance award, the Fourth Figure, and the Sr. Bronze Freestyle, and she would some day like to become a skating pro. She is the youngest of six children, and her sister Denise, now 20, reigned as Huron Dairy Princess in 1984-85, a rare accom­ plishment for one family. The runner-up, Anita Bos, is in Gr. 12 at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, and hasn’t yet decided whether to begin a career in agriculture or in recreation when she graduates. She has been very active in swimming for many years, and taught at the Vanastra Pool this past summer as a full-time instructor, where she will continue part time during the school year. As well, Miss Bos is involved with the Hallrice 4-H Dairy Club, the Huron Dairy Management Club, and the North Huron Veterinary Club and has shown a keen interest in exhibiting the family ’ s cattle at local fairs over the past five years. The new Princess will work on behalf of the Huron County Milk Committee for the next year, representing the group to schools, fairs and business groups, then will proceed to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto next August, to compete with other cou nty winners for the coveted title of Ontario Dairy Princess. Miss Bos will take over these duties in the event that Miss Nethery becomes ill or is otherwise unable to fulfill her duties.
