The Canadian National Exhibition prize lists of 1963 and 1964 give a third prize to “Mrs. J. Hilder, Oxford Jct. Nova Scotia”. Gertrude Hilder is the Society’s Nova Scotia member of Oxford Junction, who contributed articles to the Society’s sale at the C.N.E. in 1963, 1964 and 1969 and demonstrated there, and whose own prizes are printed from Oxford Jct. N.S. No second Hilder appears anywhere in the archive, so the initial J. is probably a misreading — but it is what the pages print, and the 1963 and 1964 entries are kept as printed.
