They left very disappointed after seeing a 45 minute parade with only a few decent floats and a skinny little man in a red suit with a little beard (an apparent Santa Claus who couldn't even ho ho ho) I was thrilled to see a parade such as Exeter had. The atmosphere of love, giving and happiness that was within the parade and all around it was the most important part. The floats were fabulous and the Santa Claus was REAL. The children and adults alike enjoyed every minute. I'm proud to have Exeter for my home town and so glad I can go home and find everyone full of Christmas spirit. I thank you, the people of • Exeter, for having such a wonderful parade. Merry Christmas to you all and may you continue your spirit of love throughout the year.

Police — Continued from front page make it impossible for police to find the necessary evidence," he stated. He said such a case would be an indecent assault, and went on to point out that it was not improbable that such an offence could occur during a noon-hour break. "The evidence could easily be destroyed in the time it would take us to contact a student's parent to get a sinature," Chief Day commented, "and the guilty party could never be determined." "Then the police would be criticized for lack of action," he said. The two Huron policemen also noted that the restrictions on searching lockers would seriously hamper drug investigations. 4, The board had recognized that a police officer could search a student's locker without a warrant if he believed it contained liquor, but no mention was made of drugs. "This would be like using the liquor laws of 1920 to combat the drug problem of 1970," Chief Day said. Should discuss Chief Day suggested the board should have talked to a senior police official before approving their recent regulations. He said he certainly would have appreciated an opportunity to present his viewpoint to the board so it could have been taken into consideration. The Exeter Chief said he was at a loss to know what promp ted the board's decision, noting he had never received any complaints regarding the situation from area parents. He said he hoped the matter would be reopened for discussion. BOWLING SCORES aiimilailiatailliiiiiiimaiiiiiiiiitilliiimiiiiiiiiinao LUCAN MEN'S LEAGUE CS (M.
