Gone were the Tuesday expletives which usually color the air. Under pressure, perhaps it's the mark of an executive and editor to be able to swear for five minutes and never use the same word twice. + + + Central Huron Secondary School has just cause to be very proud of one of its Grade 11 students. In a news release received at the News -Record office from the University of Waterloo we have been informed that David Leibold placed 56th out of 24,142 students throughout Canada who wrote the 1979 Junior Mathematics Contest for grades 9, 10 and 11 students. David is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Rudy Leifbld of RR 3, Blyth. In placing 56th in all Canada, David also placed first for this western region of Ontario. The field of mathematics and elec- tronics has interested him since he was a small, boy. David's score was 106.25 out of a possible 150. Also trying the contest and placing very well was never ending source of Chris Smith, son of Mr. attraction. Last week I and Mrs. Gord Smith of worked at one during my Mitchell. Chris attends lunch hour. Aside from Mitchell District High the excellent used School, his father is clothing which invariably Guidance Counsellor at CHSS. An interesting note on the press release reads: "The contest was not easy. Any student scoring 60 was in the top nine per cent of the entrants. The contest attracted en- trants from 1,097 high schools across Canada. It is sponsored each year by the University of Waterloo and the Mutual Life Assurance Com- pany. + + + Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cummings, Mary Street, have just returned after a four day visit in Ottawa with their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cummings. From Ottawa they journeyed to Montreal to spend' Easter with their other son, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Cummings and their three daughters. +++ The Easter Egg draw on April 14 at Bartliff's Restaurant was won by Mrs. Donna Wood, Clinton.

Prize of this particular sale must have been a matched set of en- cyclopedias which a young lad of about 10 jubilantly carried away for a nominal sum. What price wisdom!! An avid down-to-earth rug -hooking enthusiast was seen inspecting various articles of clothing looking for the pure wool which provides excellent yarn for her hobby. And then there's the housewares table. A plaque, in excellent condition, cast aside by its owner as no longer interesting, was just the one decoration another person could hardly wait to pick up. But of all who passed through the sale - there was one little upturned face whose owner stole my heart. A little girl of eight or so, clutching a leather purse in good condition, eyes beaming with absolute delight and saying `I'm buying this for my Mummy." Good for a rummage sale.

"It was a decision council made," Mayor Harold Lobb added, "We could only come up with one. I don't think there's anything wrong with you. "Why do you get guys from out of town to do your work. Why didn't you get someone from town to .build the arena and the swimming pool?" Cliff Hallam asked. "Don't use those as examples," Councillor McKay replied. "There were no applications from town."
