competition held early in 1976.

submissions had won the three
prizes offered; however, nothing
had been done with them and just
recently a design appeared on the
village envelopes that in no way
resembled the winning entries.
Mrs. Potter felt that it was an
insult to the integrity of the

had been wasted in sponsoring
the contest. The reeve took . ex-

as far as he was concerned the
village could wait two years for a
Crest. Clerk Gordon Graham
refused to read Mr. Sturgeon's
letter and he called it "in-
sulting".
