In previous years there al- ways seemed to be one girl who stood out more than the others and you could usually predict quite accurately who would win. However, this year it is im- possible to predict and I think there will be a close race among three of the candidates, This past week was filled with campaigning. The school walls were adorned with posters persuading you to vote for someone's favorite candidate. Each Grade 12 and 13 class tried to outdo the other in cam- paigning. The theme of the formal is "Springtime In Paris" and the setting promises to be both ro- mantic and beautiful.

Usborne undertakes I'm his very best friend The Times-Advocate, in co- operation with Canadian Tire Store here, has endorsed the "running-light" campaign now being undertaken by traffic groups across the continent. The device is a small light that's installed on thefront grill of a car which turns on auto- matically with the ignition. It's been endorsed by a number of U.S. and Canadian safety coun- cils. Running-lights were installed on the Times-Advocate cars this week by Canadian Tire , , own centennial plan Will call tenders for 401 stations Ontario Government's deci- sion to call for tenders at an early date for four additional service centres on Highway 401 in Western Ontario has been announced in the legislature by Highways Minister Charles S. MacNaughton. It was also dis- closed that new centres for Eastern Ontario are under con- sideration. It is expected that the new centres will be comparable to the eight already in operation, The four new centres will be built in pairs, approximately facing each other on opposite sides of Highway 401. Two will be located mid-way between Dutton and West Lorne, at a point 30 miles west of London; the other two will be some 47 miles farther west, just east of Tilbury. This wee fellow will have lots of friends when he grows up in a very few years from now. One day he'll enter college and the costs will be paid out of a Special Savings Account his parents have started for him at British Mortgage & Trust. That Savings Account keeps growing as he grows, earning 4% interest each year. Usborne township wants to undertake its own centennial project, council decided at its meeting last week. Council has advised Huron county that the township does not wish to turn its share of federal and provincial centennial grants over to a county project, such as the welfare building suggest- ed at the January session of county council. Among other things discussed by council as centennial projects were ceme- tery cairns and future plans for the war memorial at Hurondale school which will be closed when the new central school is built. LET CONTRACTS Contracts for road gravelling and warble fly spraying were let by council after considering tenders for both services.

The campaign has developed from the experience of the "lights on" program under- taken by bus companies more than a year ago. A 15% reduc- tion in daytime accidents is re- ported since bu sses started driving with their headlights on during the day. The running-light is a 21- candlepower white light, much less expensive than sealed beam lights, simple to install and easy on the battery. It makes a car more clearly visible during daylight hour s and ensures that the vehicle is lighted at dawn, dusk and on cloudy days when a driver may not think to turn on his head- lights. Its use, according to safety experts, is especially import- ant for rural and highway dri- vers. When turning out a side road or passing on a highway, a casual glance may fail to re- veal an approaching car. It may be of a color that blends with the horizon or it may be ob- scured by shadows. The light overcomes this problem. Canadian Tire introduced the lights to Canada only last month.
