few changea were ..made various
sections.
In regard to the community ex
hibits it was decided to use the
same plan as last year In awarding
$20 bonus to each community scor
ing 66 or better. A partial change
was made on the score card. Last
year 30 per cent was allowed for
diversity; this year only 10 per
cent. 60 per cent was given for
quality and 30 per cent for appear
ance, stressing quality more than
was done a year ago.
