A DAMAGE LIGHT -- The firemen were called to - the residence of Bob Irvine at the Royal T during the supper. hour Sunday evening. A. hold had to be chopped in the outer wall of the building to reach the source of smoke which was issuing from beneath the sink. Damage was not extensive. 0--0-,0 HARD WORK -- Bob Crawford, the chairman of the snowmobile events for , the Winter Carnival, found that it can be a strenuous sport. The warming February sun had played such havoc with the snow coverage on the high school football field that he and his committee members were forced to truck in several loads to form the race track. Who would have believed that in January? 0--0.-0 BRIEF VISIT.- ' Murray Fridenburg, f,ormer- ly of the OPP staff here, was • one of the visitipg, Masons at Tuesday evening's meeting.

If it is between 1 and 2947, read the following in- structions very carefully, be- cause youcould be holding the winning number for an electric razor, a movie camera, or any one of the prizes not yet claim- ed. Step Three: Sharpen your pencil, find a scrap of paper and hope you haven't forgotten all you ever knew about math- ematics. Step Four: (A) Write your number at the top of your work sheet. (5) Add 93 ( nu mber of prizes). (C) Multiply your total by 10. (D) Divkie by 5. Subtract 186 (Wine the number of prizes). (F) Divide by 2. Step Five: If you have fol- lowed all directions carefully you shcruld also now have your original number at the bottom of your work sheet, a dull pen- cil and a red face. - Step. Six: The only way to find that prize is by hunting for it --that is why we called it "treasure hunt". Step .Seven: If you do not see the numbers on display in a participating store, ask your merchant where they are. He'll be happy to show you and if You can match that number he will give you the prize --no strings attached (unless your prize was a yo-yo). Remember:. Treasure Hunt Is not a gimmick game. The prizes are in the stores. 'Just prove you have the matching l'umber and take a prize home. There have been many winners already. You could be the next.

The contestants were lined up at the blueline with their tricycles located at the centre line. they were instructed to run to their vehiclet, pedal to the back of the arena and return to the front. The srarter was about to say "Go" when "Homo" th re w his arms forth, wildly chanting "Just a minute, I'm not yet dressed. " With all eyes ontim he shed his long coat which re- vealed a pair of short shorts, long legs, bare boney knees, ankle socks and a light T-shirt. He dug into the salt sack to don his elbow pads and. a heavy steel helmet. Then. he opened his suitcase, just wide enough to withdraw a bottle of tonic of the 40 oz. variety and tried . without success,to tempt "Bomb- er" Bennett to partake of his t good liquids. Was the race about to begin? No, "Homo" had one more duty -to perform as he brought fcirth an oil can to lubricate his • tri- cycle. ' On the word go, they headed to their vehicles and "Beep - Beep" Alexander jumped into an early lead, hotly persued by the others. "Homo" Bateson was watching "Wee Willie" Walden very closely, expecting him to lose a wheel as the pin which held one of the back wl)eels had been removed by omo" or ''''Beep -Beep", but "Wee Willie" put so much weight on that axle that there was no way the wheel could get off. ,The planned sabotage had failed. With a commanding lead "Beep -Beep" went out of his way to crash into "Homo" and this gave "Bomber" the chance to sneak into the lead. Noticing he had lost his lead "Beep - Beep" made a real strong chal- lenge but was beaten to the wire by three tricycle lengths by "Bomber", who. walked off, with the trophy. It was a real fast race and good entertainment by a fine group of great sports.

The first match saw the Le- gion meeting the Firemen. The Legion team was pretty tricky. They sneaked an anchor hook over the top of the net and loop ed its rope end through their NOS end of the tug-of-war rs4e. There was no way theinremen would budge themwithout pan. Ing over that net. However, the Legion really didn't need the extra assistance.

County board of education decides on Clinton offices BY SHIRLEY J. KELLEp. By a vote of eight to six, Huron County Board of Educa- tion decided, Monday evening to locate their offices in the town of cllnton. One wing of Central Huron Sectindary School will be reno- vated as quickly as possible to house the director of education, John D. Cochrane and his staff. Until the premisesare readied for occupancy, temporary ac- commodation will be found in Clinton, probably at theschool or in the former nurses'• resi- dence at Clinton Public Hospi- tal. Deliberations 'concerning the question lasted about two hours during which time principal speakers were Robert Elliott, vice-chairman of the board whb originally outlined the proposal at last month's Goderich meet- ing, and Dan Murphy, Goder- ich, who went on record also at the previous meeting that he would oppose the suggestion. The meeting, held in CHSS ' board room to permit the board an opportunity to view the ac- commodation, heardthe pros and cons of locating in Clinton versus Goderich.' • In a prepared report; Mr. Elliott estimated the cost of renovations for the CHSS site at approximately $17, 500. Actual bestimate submitted by the con- tractor to the board was $22, - 300 based on the instructions given the contractor by Mr. Cochrane had rearranged Mr. Elliott's initial plans for the suite of offices t� better suit his needs. This price includes moving a science lab to another loca- tion in the school to make way for a board room in conjunction with the offices. Actual square footage available is 3500 as compared to accommodation in the assessment building amount- ing to 2280 square feet.. In his report, Mr. Elliott estimated the board would save about $25,200 (minimum) in a period of five years with savings increasing at a rate of approxi- mately $8, 500 on the sixth year and every year thereafter. (The five year figure was used for comparison because it is esti- mated that regional govern- ment will make its entry with- in five years and because the county was asking $1000 each year for five years in addition to the rent of $5000 ann ually, to pay for furnishings, etc.) Dan Murphy told the board there were "too many intangi- bles" in Mr. Elliott's report. He criticized the suggestion to spend about $25,000 at this time because it is still.not known exactly where the new board is headed. Murphy advo- cated "temporary location" in the assessment building where it would be possible to work ef- ficiently until a clearer picture of the overall situation was re- vealed. Wingham board member, Norman Shepherd said he was not in favor•of temporary loca- tion anywhere because "tempor- ary things tend to become per- manent". He said that once Please Turn to Page Seven •
