a group or agency in Huron"
Bolton said. In July the guests
will be the three members of
parliament having jurisdic-
tion in Huron: Jack Riddell,

tions from those present on
how they can aid council

roadblocks they ,nay en-

government.
"Just about every com-
munity worker will at some
time find themselves caught
up in 'red tape' or encounter
a client who is having some
problem with a government
service" explained Bolton "It
will be valuable to know how
we can use our MP and

others."

Beer and smoking may not
be good for you, but they are
part of the secret recipe by
which Norm Dawe turns fish
and fowl into gourmet treats.
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'

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. The museum
is located five miles south of
(:rand Bend on Hwy. 21
across from the Pinery Pro-
vincial Park. If more infor-
mation Is required, contact
the museum at 243-2600.

turkey on a bun in two hours.
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.
Very Interesting People", he nuine VIPs will be dining very
