I have real admiration for the commun- ities which have sponsored fafl fairs this year. At the exhibitions where I have had the honor to judge (naturally the cooking) the competitions have been keen and the prizes worthy. It is evident that homemakers believe in mak- ing one reci ribbon product instead of two or three inferior dishes. This resulted in a wide distribu- tion of prizes among the exhibi- tors, and friendly community nyv- alry. How are awards in prize cook- ing -made? Good characteristics and "melting" taste win honors. Here are a tew descriptions. Tea Biscuits: Good biscuits are very light and symmetrical, the outside surface is a fairly smooth tender, golden-brown crust. The inside is creamy white, perfectly free from brown or yellow spots, and contains small holes, evenly distributed. It appears light and flaky, that is, thin sheets may be peeled off. In fiavour, the pro- duct has a cooked taste but is nei- ther salty for sweet. pPie Crust: Good pie crust is fiaky. Its surface has a rough, -blistered appearance rather than a smooth firm one. Moreover, it is tender enougli to eut easily with a fork, but not so tender that it crumbles. It is a golden-brown color around the edges, some- what lighter brown on the bottom and must be crisp throughout. Muffins: To be good, muffins should be very light, so light in fact that when one picks them up one is surpnised that anything of their size should weigh 50 ittle. The outside should be baked to a golden-brown shade. They shouid be symmetrical with. no tendency to form peaks and have a somewhat pebbled surface. The inside should show round holes of fairly uniform size, but there should be no long, narrow ones called "tunnels." Cooked fiavor is desired with not too much or foo little sait and sugar. Buter-Cake: Prize winning but- ter-cake has the feeling of sof t velvet. Cakes which have this characteristic are always very light and of a fine, even grain with small hoies, evenly distrib- uted. But these qualities of light- ness and evenness do flot instire the velvety feeling. Ideal cake must be moist, but not soggy; soft edges and crusts are admirable. Even, honey-colored crusts are a must to score for appearance. Taste should be velvety-melloW with a little more sweetness than tea biscuits. Extract and spice must be faint and added only if the classification is vanilla or spice cake. Experienced judges help to maintain the high standard of community fairs and their sug- gestions should be sfibmitted in writing in order that the new board of directors will benefit by this assistance the following year. Standard recipes should be sup- plied for the exhibitors. These may be changed from year to Popular October Bride Guest of Honor At Many Functions St. Paul's United Church choir of which Miss Helen Williams, A.T.C.M., has been a valuable member for some time made a presentation of a beautiful silver tray and cream and sugar set on Sept. 28th. A social hour was en- joyed after the practice. Last Wednesday afternoon about 30 friends of Miss Ilelen Williams, popular October bride, gathered to honor her with a bathroom shower, at the home of Mrs. A. Northcutt given by Mis- ses Arlene Northcutt and Madlyn Wilcox. Mrs. Northcutt and Mrs. H. Wilcox, Hampton, were hos- tesses. When Helen arrived she was led to the seat of honor and had a corsage of 'mums presented to her. She opened her many beautiful and useful gifts and thanked the girls in her usual gracious manner. Several con- tests and games were enjoyed and a dainty lunch was served by the hostesses. Saturday evening Mrs. Byron Vanstone was hostess to an acces- sories shower in her home when 20 were present. Helen was sur- prised upon entering the living room and was presented with a corsage of Talisman roses. After the gifts had been opened and Helen had thanked everybody, lunch was served. Mrs. H. Lew- is poured tea, and Mrs. M. Van- stone, Mrs. W. Rudeli and Miss Roma McCready, sister of Mrs. B. Vanstone, from Lethbridge, served the lunch. The tea table was decorated with pink carna- tions and pink tapers and vani- colored 'mums graced the living room. A mîscellaneous shower was tendered Helen on Monday even- ing at the home of Mrs. K. Cox,E Kingston Road, when Misses Hel-t en Cox and Mary McAllister were1 hostesses.

YOUR GENERAL ELECTRIC APPLIANCE DEALER Higgon Electrie PHONE 438 42 KING ST., E. 'q With the western section of re- pairs to King St. already excava- ted, work was commenced on the eastern section early this week. Pavement of the entire surface from Scugog intersection to, a point even with the former Bow- man Hotel, together with subsoil to a considerable depth has been carted away. The same operation now proceeds on a King St. stretch from near Liberty St. beyond erown St. The work is being done by the Toronto Construction Co. under contract at slightly in excess of $2 1,000. At the moment the dif- ficulty is to secure water pipe and tule of suitable sizes for un- derdlrainages. It was expected that the old pavement would be broken up to, use as filler but it is under- stood stone will be hauled in for that purpose. Some of the soul carted away is being used to widen Rotary Park in which ft is hoped a rink will be erected some time in the future. A present survey indicat- es that sufficient depth of excava- tions w-ill permît a real job of [aying pavement to carry the heavy traffic formerly slowed iown at these soft spots. iMeantime highway tr affi c through town is routed via Church St. which is found to be a nar- 1 - 1 THE Anne Allan invites you to write to her cane of The Statesman.
