Her stepfather raises them on his farm in Gates ville. “Roasted soybeans are de licious,” she exclaimed enthu siastically. “They are just as good as peanuts. Did. you know there is even soybean ice cream?” Adair quickly pointed out that soybeans contain two times more proteins than meat, three times more pro teins than cheese and 11 times more protein than milk. that, it’s the No. 1 export in the *J. 5.,” she add ed. Adair was sponsored in the national competition by the N. C. Soybean Producers As sociation, which selected her as the state “Princess Soya” in Raleigh last January.

"As far as I was concern ed, I thought if I went up there and did my best I be lieved I could win,” she ex plained. “They wanted some one who could travel around the country and speak about nutrition, and that sounded just right.” Adair even admitted that before leaving for Minneapo lis she gave her roommate a list of people to telephone if she did win. Despite such planning, however, she re members being stunned when they told her she had won the pageant “It’s just unbelievable,” she exclaimed. ‘II am still so thrilled with the whole ex perience.” The day after winning, she gave three breakfast speeches, two luncheon talks, sat through radio and TV inter views and that night was a special guest at the Minnesota Twins - New York Yankees baseball game.
