Local young people deserve our pride
"The Talk of the Town"
Did you read the article on the back page
of "Around Town Wingham" last week? It
stated that "Winning essay now faces in-
ternational competition" and was headed
by a picture of three essay winners.
"Jennifer Hunter is the winner at the
local and district levels of the Optimists In-
ternational Writing Competition and now
advances to the international level in the
competition.
The Grade 11 student at F.E. Madill
Secondary School will also attend a leader-
ship seminar this summer in Valley Forge,
Pa."

Congratulations to these young people on
this achievement.

vices were held in Lucknow on Thursday.
Grace Gammie accompanied her sister
Ina Harlton of St. Marys on a bus trip with
a circle tour of Florida and enjoyed herself
thoroughly.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence MacDonald of
Brantford visited three clays last week
with his sister, Rena McNab, and other
members of the MacDonald family. They
got a ride to Lucknow with Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard McLeod who were visiting his
sister.
The first group that went on a bus trip to
Arizona returned on Friday. Ruth
Mathers, Doris Culbert, Tena Gardner and
Jean Conley report a wonderful trip after a
bad beginning as their bus had an accident
the first morning in the fog and they had to
switch to another bus.
The highlight of their trip was flying
over the Grand Canyon. They also visited
Graceland, the home of Elvis Presleytand
Southfork where "Dallas" is filmed.
Sympathy is extended to Marg and Paul
Finlay and Sandra and Graham Ruther-
ford in the passing of a husband and
father, Bob Finlay. He was well-known in
the area as the owner of Finlay Decorators
for many years.

travellers experienced an earthquake

away and measured 5.1 on the Richter
scale.
We are all anxiously waiting to see what

avid basketball player. He is also one Of
the c)17,000 adults in Ontario with some
form of disability. Les, like many disabled
persons, often finds that people arc so
concerned with what he can't do,
