Doesn't go to your head... well, At last, finally, I'm a winner! All my life I've been competing ... all my life I've been coming in second, or third, or fourth, or not at all. As a very young child I earnestly competed in every verse speaking contest in the country. My poor, pa- tient mother sat up with me into the night, advising and listening to the careful intonation of every vowel. She was even persuaded to shell out for elocution lessons, but all to no avail. Invariably, I'd make it to the finals, only to be knocked out by some prissy boy in knickers, or some silly girl in frills. One of my problems was that I could never choose a poem that suited the judges. The year I recited the four and a half pages of Pauline Johnson's, "The Cattle Thief," with all the dramatics of Sarah Bernhardt, they demeritted mefor the length of the poem, and gave the cup to the fellow who nonchalantly got up and rambl- ed off 14 lines of a Tennyson sonnet. The following year, different judges chose the contestant who memorized Johnsdn's, "Wolverine," (five pages) over me chanting R.L. Stevenson's short piece, "Who Has Seen the Wind?" And so it always was, and has been, with every kind of competition. Later, no matter how hard I worked there was always someone smarter who headed the class, always some girl prettier who snagged the boy I liked, always somebody who got the job I conveted. I might come close, mind you, but never quite make it. Well, that's all changed now. Last week, at the local fair, 1 garnered first prize. With my strong competetive streak, whenever I enter a competition, I go all out, no holds barred. This year, t MR. AND MRS. JIM KIRKLAND Ann -Marie Brand, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hank Brand and Jim Kirkland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Kirkland, were united in marriage on August 31, 1985 at Bethel Reformed Church, Exeter.

Since the entry fee was the same for second; that is, until I noticed there It Seems to me... one exhibit as for two dozen, when the day came, I cruised around the house looking for other things I could show. I pulled the dead plants out of the ter- rarium, and grabbed two jars of pickles off the shelf... making five en- tries in all. That evening, when the judging was completed, Valerie, my daughter-in- law, and I rushed to town to see how I'd fared. I suppose you've already guessed.

I knew there was no sense looking at the pickles since I could never com- pete with all the great cooks in the area, and when we finally did drift over to them we couldn't even find my jars. I supposed the judges had thought them so inferior they'd push- ed them out of sight, until Valerie whispered, "Mom, you got third for your beet relish." "You're kidding?"

There is was, at the very top of the shelf, with a bold "First" stamped on it. I went so dizzy I thought Id faint. It's ironic. This is the relish I just threw together, and because I didn't have half the ingredients and didn't want to make a special trip to town, I simply dumped in everything I found in the fridge drawer. Wouldn't you know? I will never be able to duplicate that prize winning recipe. I'm not sure where it is, but it seems to me there must be a moral here someplace. I suppose we could say that "winning isn't everything", but, personally, I think that's a lot of rot. Or, we could say that "not winn- ing keeps you humble",.but that's not true, either. I'm living proof that you can win and still be humble. Why, so far, I'll bet I haven't told more than 200 people about my triumphant first prize win for hot dog relish (yellow variety1!
