Officials preparing for a banquet on July 4 for His Royal Highness Prince Philip and 650 other guests at Toron- to's Royal York Hotel to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh awards in Canada have plac- ed an order for 375 trout weighing approximately 10 to 12 ounces each with Norm's Bluewater Smoked Fish Loft Ltd. at St. Joseph. Dawe began smoking fish 20 years ago. By the time he retired from a factory job in London in February of 1980, he had built such a large business his hobby became a second career. When Dawe began, very lit- tle information on how to smoke fish was obtainable. He has perfected the process the hardest but best way, through trial and error. He recalls taking some of his pro- duct to garden parties and other events and watching diners' reactions. "I relied on women's judg- ment", Dawe revealed. "They would put a little bit on their plate and go away and eat it. If they came back to fill up with my smoked fish, I knew f had a product." A keen sports fisherman, Dawe has smoked many a fish he has caught himself. He now works with white fish, local and BC salmon, rainbow and lake trout and eels, the latter in great demand by customers from Europe. The rainbow trout come from a fish farm near Toron- to. The one requirement is a fat fish. "You can't smoke a lean fish", he explained. Two years ago, while holidaying in Florida, Dawe read an article by Linda LE n - vin, from the TV series Alice, describing her method of smoking turkeys. Deciding he could certainly improve on what seemed in his opinion an inferior recipe, he began ex- perimenting with chickens and turkeys. The process is shrouded in mystery, but the stuffing con- tains apples, celery, onions and carrots, Dawe admitted. To test his product in the marketplace, Dawe set up a booth at this ear' BOOK FOR EPS LIBRARY Lauretta Siegner, educa- tion chairman of the Exeter branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, presented a copy of the book The Terry Fox Story to Exeter Public School.

Quilting show open Friday The origin of quilts and quilt making can be traced centuries back in Canada to the well-known pioneer "Crazy Quilts" which were made for warmth rather than decoration. This week the art of quilting will make a revival at the third Annual Quilt Sale and Competition at the Lamb - ton Heritage Museum. With an expected 100 quilts on display, there will be more than enough to satisfy both buyers and viewers. The splendid collection of com- petition quills will be judged by the public nn the first weekend of the show. The winning heritage and com- tempoi ary quilts will together receive over $500.00 in cash and prizes. Sale quilts will range in price from $55.o0 - $700.00. In addition to the quilts, a calico shop will be stuffed full with handwoven coverlets, quilted place mats • and cushions, baby buntings and numerous other articles. The tea room will feature hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, and home -baked strawberry tarts. An expected 6,000 people will visit the museum's Quilt ' Show which runs from .July 1 through to the tenth from 10 til 5 on weekdays and from 11 til 6 on weekends.

His smokey turkeyburgers can be purchased at the week- ly Pinery Flea Market throughout the summer, and Dawe is considering a booth at Grand Bend for the 1984 season. The reputation of Norm's smoked fish has spread, and people from near and far turn west off highway 21 to visit his premises. A quick glance through the guest book reveals addresses from the Ascension Islands to Zambia, with Germany, Thailand and Australia in between, as well as Canadian locales from coast to coast. Besides learning to smoke meat, Dawe has learned to meet the public. Though it seems hard to believe, the ebullient entrepreneur con- fesses that at one time he was quite shy. "I was not used to rubbing elbows with some of the customers we get here - doc- tors, lawyers - local people were my kind of people. Now I realize people are just peo- ple. And they are all VIPs.
