While everything wasý well organized and wvent well, there were many who missed the presence and inspiration of Carson Elliott who started the parades here several years ago. Unfortunately, due ta illness he had to remain aloof this year. But his past efforts were woII1 remembered and appreciated. FUMBLE - There won't be quite as rnany paraùý pictures as usual, and other photos planned foi this issue will not appear because The Statesman photographer tried out a new developing tank over the weekend and some of his pictures turnedl eut blank. The situation is now corrected, but, unfortunately, there is ne way ofl retaking somc of the pictures. That's the xvay the cookie crurn- bles, as they say. ATTRACTIVE - Bowmanville stores are exce1- tionally attractive this year and merchants appear te have gone al eut with Christmas decorations. There are also several new signs over store fronts that add considerably ta the improved appearance.
