The promotion of milk in Huron County
will be Muriel Huth's main activity in the
corning year as the county dairy princess.
Recently chosen over five other con-
testants for the title, 18 -year-old Muriel has
a lot of ideas for her task.
"I thought if I did become the dairy
princess, I have a lot of ideas for promoting
milk," responded Miss Huth when asked
why she entered the dairy princess competi-
tion.
The daughter of Percy and Janet Huth of
R.R. 2, Clifford, Muriel is presently in her
first year at Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology where she is
enrolled in the food service management
course. She chose to attend Centralia over
other city colleges.
"I like to look out of my window and see a
corn field," she enthused.
Interviewed at the college- between
classes, Muriel has qualities that are
sometimes hard to find in her peer group.
She is articulate, not afraid to speak up
about her ideas and immersed in enough ac-
tivities to keep several people busy.
The 1983-84 dairy princess does keep her
schedule running smoothly. She is on cam-
pus from Sunday night to Friday afternoon.
Late Friday afternoon she heads for home,
the family farm in Howick Township.. Fri-
day night she works at a well-known
restaurant in Clifford, Saturday she leaves
open for dairy princess duties and Sunday,
after church, her time is devoted to
homework.
As dairy princess, Muriel's goals are to
expand the role of milk promoter from
visiting classrooms and attending Women's
Institutes to visiting malls, Brownie, Guides
and Scouting groups, nursing home and
hospitals.
Muriel's ideas for promotion include
displays of milk labelled items such as oven
mitts, aprons, buttons, etc. which may also
be sold. Other ideas include demonstraing
milk recipes and holding draws.
Since being crowned dairy princess,
Muriel has attended several functions.
These include handing out 4-H ribbons at the
Howick Fall Fair.
The Howick native has hobbies which
range from singing to travelling. Last year
she completed her Grade eight singing and
now can teach the art to others. Muriel has
taken 13 4-H homemaking clubs and one 4-H
dairy calf club. She also enjoys waitressing,
including it among her hobbies.
Other interests are stamp collecting,
sy s e .
fitness an travelling. Recently she visited
the Poconos and New York City and
Canada's own capital, Ottawa.
The new dairy princess has won two
scholarships in two very different areas.
Muriel won the Huron County senior
vocalist scholarship at the Walkerton Music
Festival held earlier this year.
At the F.E. Madill Secondary School
graduation ceremonies to be held Nov. 4,
Muriel will receive a scholarship for receiv-
ing the highest marks in home economics.
June is dairy month and while Muriel will
have many activities between now and then,
it will be her busiest month. Most of the
school visits are done at that time.
In order to know exactly what dairy
princesses do, Muriel will be attending a
workshop in Stratford on Nov. 26. This is the
first of several to be held throughout the
year.
When crowned, Muriel received a bouquet
of red roses, a set of luggage and many
other gifts.
The runner-up in the recent dairy princess
competition was Diane VanOsch of R.R. 3,
Lucknow. Other contestants were Brenda
Bos of R.R. 3, Auburn, Denise Brand of R.R.
2, Bayfield, Denise Nethery of R.R. 4,
Brussels and Kim Pfeffer of R.R. 1, Clifford.
