With more than fifty outstanding displays of the yuletide season, one can readily understand the difficult job facing the judges in their final decision. The beauty and simplicity of the nativity scene at the Dr. B. N. Corrin family residence captured first place. TheJack ( Ace) Bateson residence, beauti- fully eautyfully lighted and displaying the "Old St. Nick" theme and the star on the chimney con- taining almost 50 lights captur- ed a close second place. The Frank Hopper residence which made use of the beauty of na- tural surroundings both front and back, took third prize. Honourable mention should be tendered to many home owners whose displays came within a point or two of the three winners and are as follows Harry McArthur, Roy Bennett, George Galbraith, Wilber Tif- fin, Harold Taylor, Bert Ma- thers, Allan Buntstead, Dr. W. A. McKibbon, Frank Howson, Percy Clark, Scott Reid, Char- lie Davidson, Bill Harris, Cam McTavish, Jim Lee, Bud Cruick- shank, Bob Chettleburgh, Dave Burgess, Roy Manuel and many others. The nativity display at the Roman Catholic church is very beautiful. The Royal Canadian Legion sincerely thanks the citizens of Wingham who have co-operated in making Wingham one of the most beautifully decorated towns in Ontario for this happy Christmas season.
