Letters to editor Disagrees with good pie: What to do'! ---Finally she putts a second prize ribbon on it and continues with other classes. .Now the judge is definitely in er- • ror. As any family man knows, there can be a first without a •sec- ond, but its absolutely impossible to have a second without a first.. To be correct and t� get her point across, the judge might better:have written a note which would read as follows: • Dear Nancy: 1 thinks your pie is pretty awful. If there was any com- petition 1 douht if it would place. I lowever as compensation. for your - effort in putting it in the show, we will award the cash for second prize.- - Signed the judge. • P.S. When you learn to .cook, 1'11. he glad to evaluate your product. I ask you Mr. President; since this is the message conveyed by that second prize. How would you feel if you were in Nancy's place? - As I see it the fair board has two choices. ft I. fl there is only one entry in a To the Exeter Fair Board -Dear Mr. President: 1 congratulate -Yon and your staff and all the other people who worked so strenuously to organize and carry out the activities that must be effi- ciently executed to makea success- ful exhibition. . • Such an event is a very unifying experience and builds up a pride in the community that we- would be unfortunate to lose. 1 hope that the community will .continue to find citizens who will carryon. - lowever ane other group shduld be thanked and that is the exhibi- tors. Without them there would be no show. • So it was with surprise and disap- pointment that 1 learned you are continuing a policy with which I • most strongly disagree. In fact I think you'd -find it difficult to dream up a better means Of humiliating an exhibitor, arousing his resentment and making sure that he's neer en- teranotherexhibit. - . 1 refer to- your practice of often when .there is only one entry in a class awarding it second prize: Let's dream • up . a hypothetical case. Nancy; a new bride, has been learning the art -of housekeeping and has been feeding the delicacies that she has concocted to her husband. Elated with his praise, she -decides to enter an apple pie in the Exeter Fair. So flushed with pride and excite- ment she gladly pays her entry fees and places her pic.in the designated place.- With anticipation mixed with trepidation she awaits the re- sult. Unfortunately there arc. no other entries in the class and the Judge looks at Nancy's entry with a jaun- diced attitude. It really isn't avery "We have found in the-Geograpli- ic's archives some extraordinary and very rare footage that remains aS - fresh today as • it was when -it was shot. The Geographic's explorers • were filming on location long be- fore -, anyone began dreaming about television." The special will showcase some of the world's great explorers and •expeditions, weaving new. material with archives footage: Robert E. Peary's trip .to the North Pole;. Richard Byrd's historic flight to the. South Pole; Georges -Marie Haardt'y grueling motorized expedition across Asia; Orvil A. Anderson and Albert W. Stevens' pioneering voy- ' age by balloon into the strato- sphere; Hiram Bingham's discovery of thc.ancicnt Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru; Joseph Rock's har- rowing years of exploration in the Far East; and the first American as- cent of Mount--Evcre The Explorers: A Century of Discovery also looks to the future and highlights more recent research projects supported by the National I Geographic Society. The special is produced by Nico- las•Noxon, who produced eight Na tional Geographic specials in the past, including "The Sharks" and "Secrets of the Titanic".
