Th`e Rosie family have lived in Crediton for the past year and we wish them well as they return to New Zealand. Members were full of questions about life in New Zealand and their problems in the field of agriculture, comparing them with our own.

Winners of the float judging were the Sunshine Kids Nursery School, Exeter Kinsmen, and a float entitled Toyland that parade chairman Mike Williamson was having trouble finding out who sponsored it. •Exeter council endorsed the idea for redeveloping the community park at an estimated cost of $54,100. •Hensall councillor Harry Klungel was given until spring to move a storage shed that was built in violation of village bylaws and without a building permit. Klungel said he was told buildings under 100 square feet did not require permits. •The Exeter Hawks came up with three straight wins to move to the top of the Junior D league. Jeff Caldwell scored four goals in one game alone against Bothwell. 20 years ago •Emie Pym recalled the Christmas of 1904: "We were up at daylight to find our stockings. Oh yes, they were the kind that came above the knee. They were filled with homemade candy, the never tribe forgotten maple sugar, and one toy....When supper time came we thought we couldn't eat another thing more until we saw those pies, cakes, home canned fuit and cookies that only grandmother could make." •Fred Howe was shown in a picture with one of the giant lemons he was growing in his Centralia greenhouse. •Exeter Public School students, during the height of the Apollo program, gave their rendition of Christmas on the moon for their annual Christmas concert. 100 years ago •A letter from Bill Nye appeared in the Times on the question of whether women may propose marriage: "I do n why woman should not propose if she so elect, and then s fcr the bitter, bitter consequence. Many men who now live on un ved and in a hand-to- mouth manner might be, oh, so happy if the o us of popping did not weigh them down like a large three -cornered i cubus. I am acquainted with several husbands who h ve been thus acquired, and 1 am happy to say they are turnm ou l." '•South Huron was still little mote than a frontier settlement in 1888, thus the Times was filled with very little to mark the holiday season. Christmas would have been a one -day luxury, with matters of adequate food, and warm shelter through the winter months foremost in people's minds and foremost in their newspaper. aintsburY by Mrs. Heber Davis SAINTSBURY - Rev.
