Show, ‘‘Where in the World’’,
attracted a larger crowd than
ever this year. There were about _
140 people in the Inn of the
- West banquet room last Thurs-_
day night and they were pleased
with what they saw — probably
one of. the best Miss Terrace
_ Fashion ‘Shows ever,
The evening began with a
showing of casual and business |
attire, followed by displays of.
fun. wear, workout clothing and
swim wear, This was the first
judged event of the Miss Terrace
pageant and following the fash-
ion show each contestant was
' Tequired to go through the or-
deal of presenting a prepared
speech on the theme of the
show, Where in the World —
and they all did it well. “I think
they all did a great job,” said
Miss Terrace 88; Laura Huhn,
following the show. Following is
a-brief summary of each presen-
tation.

Miss AM 59.Lynne Lagace:
“Picture yourself 10,000 feet in
the air and leaping from a per-
fectly safe airplane,”’ she began..
_ Lagace went on to explain how
learning the art of skydiving has
become a dream she one day
* hopes to realize, She described
the feeling she imagined was
waiting in that first jump. The
feeling of freedom as you fall
hundreds of feet in a matter of.
seconds, wind rushing past your
body, and finally, as the chute’
, opens, you relax and enjoy the

scenery.
- Miss Elks Jessie, Carroll said
she dreams of holiday destina-
‘tions like Italy, Spain, Greece.
and Egypt. But these are far
. from her favorite — the moon.
“It would be so exciting to
travel through space and look at
the world from an: outsider’s
view,’? she said. ‘‘Some day: I
hope everybody can travel to the |
moon because | think they
would appreciate Earth and not
take our environment for
granted,”” .

Miss Hairwaves Rhonda But-
ler chose Africa for her destina-
tion. She described the pyramids
of Egypt and the miles-and-
miles of nothing on the Sahara
Desert. Kenya would be the
center of her-dream trip because
it has a mix of large and small
cities, abundant wildlife and an-
cient African tribes. The 8,000
square mile Tsauo National
Park has many animals and over
500 species of birds as well as
Africa's two highest mountains.
— Mount Kilimanjaro and
Mount Kenya. ‘‘Imagine driving
down a bumpy dirt road and an
ostrich comes racing beside your

‘jeep,’? she said. ‘‘Then’ at
dusk,” she added, ‘‘you stop to
watch a group of Samburu danc-
ers doing a very ancient ritual
dance.” .

Miss Kinsmen Pamela Kerr:

“The choice of just one (holiday

destination). was hard but I'd
'fiave to say that New York is the
place for me.’’ Her reasons,
:which she said was only the “‘tip
of the iceberg’, include the
- music world and institutions like

Julliard, . the: Metropolitan |
"Opera House, Carnegie Hall and ©
Broadway. Also, she said,

there’s the United Nations, the
New York Stock Exchange and
the garment district which
creates copies of newly created

French designs at a fraction of - |
‘their cost only 24 hours after.

they are produced.

Miss McDonald’s Laura Ben-. |i

nett said'she would like to travel
to the Shetland Islands in north-.
ern Scotland. She explained that
the Shetlands are the homeland
of her .ancestors and she .has
many relatives still living there..
And there is an annual event
there her granparents have de-

scribed that is a major attraction — at

as well — the Nordic ceremony
of Upallyah (Fire) which takes

carried down the street in dark-
ness accompanyed by thousands

‘of torch bearers. The leader,.
Yarl, rides in the ship to the-

‘waterfront where he gets out
and everyone throws their torch
into the ship. “It’s quite out of
the ordinary,” she saids.

Miss Mohawk Laura Pruner
chose Greece for “its scenery
and landmarks’. She explained
that she has always found Greek
mythology intriguing. ‘It makes
me wonder if these stories were
set>in actual places. Places |
could. go to.” She said she

would also visit some of the

off-shore islands while there.
Crete was mentioned as well as

the small islands of Corfu, Sa- -
mos and Rhodes, ‘‘Which-are
famous for their gorgeous.

beaches and night life.”’ .
said that her eyes were set on the
Orient and India but thinks her
favorite would be India “‘be-
cause of the culture and peo-
ple’. She explained, ‘The cul-
‘ture is one of the oldest and
‘most constant on Earth.”? And
‘while -we ‘think of the past,
present and future, she said,
they believe that ‘‘anything that
has happened will happen again
and anything that hasn’t
won’t’’.
Miss Skeena Mall Tina
Hovenkamp chose: her native
language to greet the crowd.
‘“Goede avond dames en heren
jurieleden, en sponsors,”’ she
‘said. She chose her native
Holland as a holiday destination
in part because it is ‘‘very dif-
ferent from Canada’’. She
described Holland, her
homeland for the first 11 years
of her life, as a setting of tradi-
tional farm houses, .windmills
and colorful arrays. of flowers
where a population about three-
quarters the size of Canada’s
lives in an area about the size of
Vancouver Island. She said that,
“Canada is still the best of all,”’
but added, ‘“While touring there
(in Holland) you should not miss
a thing.” FO
Miss Terrace Shopping Centre
Megan Walker described | one
holiday destination she would
most. like to go to, and why.
Italy was her choice and to meet
‘the people and explore historical
sites first hand was her reason.
“1 feel it is very important for
the people of different cultures
and nations to communicate and
try to understand each other,”’

Don’t let food poisoning spoil your summer holiday

Or any other day. Take these few necessary precautions to en-
sure the food you eat won’t poison you.

At home:
@ Before any food preparation — wash your hands.
@ Keep kitchen towels and wash cloths clean. re
@ Thaw meat, poultry, fish in the fridge or in cold water inthe .
sink, Change the water frequently. (When food is left on the
counter to thaw at room temperature, the outside thaws first, the
center remains frozen — bacteria can grow on the thawed sur-
face.) ,
@ Between each step of food preparation, be sure to wash your
hands, counters, and utensils with detergent or soap and water.
@ After handling raw meats, wash hands or utensils carefully to
prevent transfer of bacteria to raw foods such as salads or cook-
ed foods. ;
@ A separate cutting board for meats will help reduce the risk of. -
bacteria being transferred to other foods.
@ Keep food handling to a minimum. . . 7
@ Be sure to cook foods thoroughly — never partially cook oe
anything and then finish cooking it later. -

e Egg-rich foods should be either served immediately after cook-. : “

ing or be refrigerated until ready to serve.

@ Discard cracked or broken eggs. vn

@ Mayonnaise, because of its acidity, can help food resist
bacteria. aa
@ Unheated cooked foods should not be left out for more than —
two hours, not even foods heated in chafing dishes or on steam
tables — they are not hot enough to inhibit growth of harmful
bacteria. oo , oo
e@ Remove contents from opened cans — foods left in cans can
possibly become contaminated with lead.
@ Store foods carefully and safely, away from pets, pests,
household cleaners, leaky pipes or excess moisture.

At a picnic:

@ Food to be reheated later should be thoroughly cooked, then —
completely cooled in the fridge. And kept cool until ready to

eat, ; a

@ Keep perishable foods either hot (above 140°F/60°C) or cold _
{below 40°F/5*C) until ready to serve.
® Do not leave food out at room temperature for more than two

ours.

Keep this in mind — the two major factors in food poisoning ©

are poor food preparation and storage, and food left out at room
temperature for too long.

Have a summer with safe, healthy, happy outings and picnics.
