After several years, they hit on the idea of setting up the booth about two weeks ,before the Ploughing Matclywas to begin. In this way, they provided lunches for the many people who were working on the site in- stalling hydro and water, setting up tents and booths and buildings, EventuallY, there came to be about fifty foodoutlets Making it necessary to do a good public relations job as well as providing a deliuse product. '— There was the day when the judge fell in the mud at Kingston, another very ;,wet Ploughing Match. Of course, the ploughing judges dressed well, befitting their position but on this morning, they happened 'to be watching from the booth when this fellow slipped and fell into the sloppy mud. By the time he was mobile again, he was- pretty well covered with, mud, his hands, and much worse, his trousers. Raynard, always wan- ting to be helpful, provided paper towels and lots of clean water, but what to do aboutthe trotsers: • Raynard took him over to the traler, presented him with a pair of his own parts, •and he was on his way. Meanwhile, the ladies washed the muddy pants and had the] dry the next day for A grateful gentleman. • One of the exciting parts of the day was when the Health. Inspectors came by. It was a very difficult task to come up to all the standards they set, unmindful of the fact that the operation was being conducted out in a hay field. As well, there were different rules for each location'. However, those stan- dards were always met because all knew that it was most important, since all involv- ed knew they had • a reputation for cleanliness and must maintain that reputa- tion. Always, hats were to be worn, with the result that many a hair -do was ruined and the counter girls became very proficient at badgering representatives from the various companies for some of the hats they were prepared to give out during the match. It took lots of sleight-of-hand to make a quick change in order to wear the appropriate hat hen someone spotted these good fellows allting towards the booth, expecting to see he girl wearing the hat he had provided. By he end szq the rnatch,•niost of the girls had impressive collection of new hats and am. • It wastratifying to see new ladies join our • group of workers and gradually become •'staunchly loyal to Hilray Farms. Over the • years, there were always two or three of the new help continued to work in the booth at • other sites. They loved,to,report that a • customer had said he had just enjoyed the best harnburger he had ever had. Actually, Raynard and Ernest provided from Hilray • Farms the highest quality of beef that it was Pos4ihle to butcher; making it easier for them to be sure of their quality, compared to the operator down the street who was at the mercy of the person who provided the meat. One evening towards the end of the busy week, all the help was rewarded for their loyalty by being entertained at dinner in a • near -by restaurant, giving allthe opportuni- • ty to relax after the hectic day and take time to really .get. acquainted with their co- workers. During the evenhig's fun, it wasn't • unusual for the gang to break into the song they had been *right& all -day, "Hilray for meat", causing much consternation among thefellow diners. The menu list was kept as simple as possi- ble, due to the circumstances of operating • under difficult conditions. The main product • wAs, of cours, barbecued hamburgers, served with all the tit -innings, including freshly sliced onions and tomatoes. One morning about 8:00 a.m,, one customer an- nounced that he just didn't care for a ham- burger at that time of the day and wasn't there something else to go with his coffee. Raynard, true to form, dashed over to the trailer and presented him with a pumpkin muffin. Well, he enjoyed it so much that he kept asking for more and that day, it was decided to add one more item to the menu, "Aunt Hilda's Pumpkin Muffins" and from' then on, they were baked by the hundreds and many a recipe was handed out • So much more could be recounted - the jokes exchanged across the counter, the tricks played on the occupants of the trailers, the card games in the evening, the mad dash for additional supplies, the bank- • ing, experiences, many having to do with a Turn to page 16• Count on the Classifieds to Do the Job imiiimmoommissomi cent issues of magazines which are in good ' Physical condition (Clear), attractive, easy to use).
