Vie For Math Contest Honors In the Christian year, no day has more significance than Easter Sunday, with its affirmation of rebirth. Easter also symbolizes a fresh reawakening of Spring in a rainbow of colors. Most customs observed on Easter, including sunrise services, new clothes, and the Easter rabbit and egg, are based on historical legends or facts. A relatively new tradition, however, is exchanging greeting cards. Expressing sentiments at Easter is a growing custom. In fact, the occasion is now the fourth largest card- sending holiday. According to a greeting card assistant vice-president of marketing, approximately 150 million Easter cards are expected to be mailed or hand-delivered on or before April 11. Several factors are cited for this rising popularity. "Easter is a pleasant holiday to remember friends and relatives, particularly in a mobile society," he said. "In addition, Easter is usually associated with the end of winter and a resurgence of religious awareness." He added that a greater diversity of cards is also available, which enables people with varying levels of religious conviction to still celebrate the holiday and season with others." "This year, Easter cards are more colorful than ever, with over half including color-coordinated envelopes to enhance the Spring hues of the designs. Shoppers will find such fashionable colors as forsythia yellow, corn­ flower blue, thistle lavendar, and hyacinth and peony pink. The influence and techniques of French painters, such as Monet's garden colors and Renoir's gusty, full-bodied pastels also set a theme for greeting card offerings." He advised shoppers to watch for butterflies, which provide a refreshing new look. Tulip designs are also expected to enjoy large popularity as the Spring fashion flower. For con­ temporary tastes, gold and silver foil paper with metallic lettering has been added for 1982. "Shoppers, however, will still find an abundance of such traditional themes as eggs, chicks, ducklings, bunnies and still-life florals," he assured. According to him, all Easter cards specifically W BROWN HAS JOINED OUR STAFF IT ONLY HURTS TO LEAVE IT ON.

Nearly 4,000 students representing over 200 high schools statewide will participate in the 1982 Illinois math contest regionals Saturday, March 27. The contest, which is the largest of its kind in the country, was created by the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Last year, in its first year, the contest drew 3,000 students, frehmen through seniors, in regional and final competitions. This year they will compete for top honors in algebra, geometry, trigonometry,, pre-calculus and math analysis. Winners of the regionals will go on to the ICTM\ math finals in Normal, Illinois, in May. Students compete in­ dividually or in teams at 15 locations statewide, to determine who is tops in written, oral and calculator competions and 10 and two- person relays. Contest questions, developed by college and university professors working with math experts throughout the state, demand strategy and skill in factoring, equations, logarithms, inequalities, logical reasoning and creative analysis. The math contest was conceived a year ago to supplement the traditional written math exams offered by national testing services.

"What should I invest in, Gold or Silver?" Without losing customers, I try to lay the hard focts on them gently. Neither Gold nor Silver is an investment. What you have there is a hedge. I'm sure most of you know what a hedge is, but for those who don't, I'll explain briefly. As interpreted by Funk and Wagnall's International Dictionary it means: "to try to compensate for possible loss (from a bet or investment) by making off-setting bets or investments". Basically, what is being said is by you purchasing Gold or Silver, you are trying to protect your investments that you now have from losing value against inflation. If you think the world and the U.S. will never have inflatior again, then don't bother yourself by looking into this aspect of hedging, However, if-you feel, as I do, that this deflation-down economy will not last forever, then start looking to buy now1 For as inflation goes, so do the precious metals. Historically, Gold. Silver and Platinum have always been r the front line against the battle of inflation. If you want tc hedge, we at Old World Coins offer a complete line of Silver and Platinum.
