The winner was Central School Waverley Gardens, not Central Public School and Waverley Gardens. We misinterpreted the listing on the program. There are still quite a few floats and other pictures that haven't appeared, mainly because they,,were crowded out by election advertisements and other material, but there are three more editions before Christmas and the elections will be over next week, so there should be more space for them to appear., GREAT SHOW - If you enjoy skilledartistry and prof essional presentations, The Civie Auditorium in Oshawa on Saturday night was the place to be when Tolier Cranston and his company of top figure skaters put on a truly magnificent and beautiful performance. The skating was superb and the lighting magnifi- cent.
