In one, a charge of making unnecessary noise was dismissed against Ronald R. Cole, Staffa.

Judges took much time and careful consideration in choosing the winners in three categories .. religious, overall effect and best decorated door. In view of the fact so many houses were decorated they found their task difficult. They reported that, "the whole town is beautiful and it gave us a warm, wonderful feeling to drive through it. We hope the pyoole whc' didn't win prizes or honorable mention will feel compensated by the fact they all contributed to produce such a lovely overall effect." Two streets Anne Street and Pryde Boulevard were mentioned as being particularly well decorated. Three winners were picked and each received a turkey as a prize. Mr. and Mrs. David Cross, Hillcrest, were the winners for the religious theme. The homes of Art Frayne and Tony Relouw received honorable mention in this class. The dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. Reg McDonald, Anne Street, took the prize for overall effect. Honorable mention went to Robert Southcott, Robert Russell, Ron Bogart and Harry Van Bergen and Russ Broderick. For the best decorated door, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Gould were the winners with Harold Taylor receiving honorable mention along with Vincent Edwards and Roy Hunter. the left: Doug Parker, Dean McKnight, Jane Turkey, Bob Russell, Bob Pooley, Glenda Fisher and Bob Coates, TA photo 4 AUTHENTIC PRODUCTION — Live sheep from the farm of Dick Etherington provided authenticity to the Christmas pageant at the Exeter United Church.
