This event was organized some months ago to give the local Deb - U Ton majorettes an opportunity to compete. on a national twirling level against each other and to eliminate the high cost of travel- ling out of town for competition. More than 125 trophies, 30 baton pins and 100 certificates were awarded to the various. winners of the march and twirling categories. Everyone who enter- ed a class won some kind of an award. The daytime spectators were treated to dance and twirling, flag baton solos and, of course, The ever -popular fire baton twirl- ing, besides basic and fancy marching classes. A group of 44 contestants re- turned Saturday evening to take part in a large pageant, all ung their best to capture the title of the division in which they were entered. To qualify for the titles each contestant had to perform various majorette routines, a routine other than a standard majorette act (which proved .delightful and humorous) and model some type of party attire. Five-year-old Belly Anderson. captured the title_of Baton Sweet- heart. Julie McDonald, 9, won the Princess of Hearts class.. Lori Thompson, 13, took the Queen of Hearts category and Lori Biggin, who had to compete with twirlers from the Hanover and Walkerton areas, won the title of Tri -County Baton Queen. A large audience watched the crowning of the various winners who also . received trophies, ban- ners, corsages and certificates. Trophies were presented to all those involved and dresser dolls to the top four models, Trophies were also awarded the - best speaker and those giving best un- usual routine and majorette per- formance. Master of ceremonies for the occasion was Ward Robertson and judges for the daytime event were Mrs, Patti Robertson, Margaret Webb of Cargill and Lori Biggin of Clinton. Evening pageant judges were Mr. and Mrs. Don Vair, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Cowls and Mrs. Patti Robertson, director of the local majorettes. At the conclusion of the pag- eant, the majorettes presented Mrs. Robertson with a large, bou- quet of roses and a silver bracelet charm, as a thank -you for her ef- forts in organizing and hosting this large event.

The minutes of the January meeting were read and approved and Mrs. E. Saxton gave the 'treasurer's report. It was noted that Pattison Electric had donated a used refrigerator for use in the booth; members of the auxiliary expressed their thanks to Mr. Pattison for his kind gesture.

Additional outlets have been installed in the booth for the ovens. A vote was carried in favor of the group contributing toward the expence of a new sports timer.
