Progress towards combined area
dumps would be slow. "It may
take two or three years."

Very Sincerely,
Clare McGowan
Dear Editor:
About two weeks ago my
family came to Kitchener to visit
• me and see what Kitchener called
the 'Santa Claus Parade.
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.
Sincerely,
Gail Shipman.

Dear Sir:
May I, through your
newspaper, express my gratitude
to the many foster parents of
the Children's Aid Society of
Huron County, who, last week
presented me with a very
beautiful clock.
I am overwhelmed by their
generosity and loving kindness.
It has been a joy for me, over
the years, to work with them.
They are doing a wonderful
work.
I pray that God will richly
bless them and that they will
continue to bless the young lives
entrusted to their care,
Words fail to express
adequately my appreciation. I
can only say to all foster
parents, I thank you with all my
heart.

the lowest amount in the history
of the arena, about $20.
An estimate was received for

Diary of a Man in Despair, by

Macmillan, 1970. A Prussian
aristocrat's journal is a unique
and prophetic history of the rise

Nazis made him a marked man
and his journal which began in
1936 with the death of Spengler
ends in 1944 when the Gestapo
had him imprisoned in Dachau
where he died shortly after. He
wrote in 1941: "I do not know if
the end of the world is at hand, as
Dostoyevsky said. But this I do

turning in human affairs which
can never be changed again and

Handel's Messiah

George Frederick Handel's
composing, will .be performed

direction of Mrs. R. J. McCaffrey.
The twenty-one voice men's
chorus has been augmented by 19
women singers for the occasion.
The choir members come from
the surrounding districts and Mrs.
McCaffrey says their enthusiasm
is boundless.
"They sing for the pure joy of
singing and came out in the worst
weather for practises."
Rehearsals have been going on

p.m.

and Mrs. J. Coates and organist

immediately won huge success,
During the singing of the
Hallelujah Chorus, King George
II, was so inspired that he rose to
hit feet. The rest of the audience
steed up, too, and remained
standing until the chorus ended.
Wife —"Oh, yOu needn't think
you're so wonderful. The night
you proposed to ine you looked
absolutely silly!"
Husband — "A coincidence.

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.
