The lady has had a busy. few weeks for she has baked for fairs in Zurich, BaYfield and Seaforth as well as Exeter. She told me she baked one item fOr each class to show at Exeter. She won first prize for her orange chiffon cake, raspberry cake, angel cake, cocoanut tarts, peanut butter cookies and fruit cakes. I asked her to send the recipes for all of these. Along with the recipes came this note. "For angel cake I use the recipe on the cake flour package. I had first for both fruit cakes but I change the recipes considerably so I can't just tell exactly what I do put in. Hope this is PK." I'm sure it is OK, Mrs, McLaren. I think it is just the mark of a baking champ. * * ORANGE CHIFFON CAKE 11/2 cups all purpose flour 11/2 cups sugar 3 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 cup vegetable oil 7 egg yolks unbeaten 0/4 cup cold water 1 tsp. vanilla 2 tbsp. grated orange rind 1 cup egg whites 1/2 tsp, cream of tartar Method: Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, salt into a large bowl.

Forrest, Rft 1, Zurich, Friday evening talent show in the arena.. Last year I remember hove boring and tedious the evening became while the audience was forced to sit quietly (?) by as the judges in the baby contest made their choices, This year all that was changed. The baby classes were judged in another room and the audience was entertained by some top-flight local talent while the babies and their mothers were impressing the judges. Among the local talent was a young man by the name of Vincent Glaab. It isn't my business to pass judgement on the performers at the show Friday evening but I'm sure many local people will agree with me that this youngster is something very special. He plays an accordion as though the instrument was a functioning part of his body. Few professionals have the style and flare of young Glaab. I suggest you watch this boy. He's going places. * * * Just another little reminder to the ladies of the district to send us the accounts of their organizations, The women's page of this newspaper should be a mirror of the happenings in the ladies' world, but there just isn't time or opportunity to follow up every meeting notice. I depend on you girls to send us the reports from your church groups, the WI's, the lodges, the social clubs, the service clubs, Plynoutli 0 PARAPALEfi NI1 etc. etc, FXOTII time to time there May be mistakes. EverybodY makes them, But for the most, part, your contribution to the women's page will be well worth any effort we spend. Let's get toge * ther this fall, I had some rather surprising reaction from my little tale about the squash which exploded in my kitchen last week. My mother-in-law read the little blurb in the paper and said she almost went into convulsions at the thought of me wiping roasted squash off my pew kitchen ceiling. She thought my disaster was too bad but so-o-o funny. Oddly enough that seemed to be the reaction I got from most everyone: They thought I must have been really stupid not to have known enough to poke a few holes in the squash before beginning the baking. One friend told me to try again. He said (with a bit of a glint in his eye) that his mother always baked squash whole. I wonder Miss Mary Van Camp visited recently with her sister, Mr. & Mrs. Harold Yates and family and attended the Western Fair. Dr. William Weekes, Vancouver, B.C., visited this week with Maurice Quance and Mrs. May Beer, e,e4 eete4 The Exeter Times-.Advocate takes eat pleasure to extend ppiest birthday greetings to the following new .members of the Over 80 Club: E, (Barber) Wenzel, Crediton, who will mark his 82nd birthday Monday, September 29; Mrs, Alice Campbell, Exeter, who was 90 years young September 23; Mrs. Frank Bean, 83 Queen Street, Hensall, who will celebrate her 87th birthday September 27; Miss Jane Lamont, Blue Water Rest Home, who will be 81 years old Friday, September 26.
