Lack Clues In Slaying ROME 'Rome police reported no new leads Monday in the stabbing death of a Rome liquor store owner. Detective Francis Uhl, who is heading the investigation into the weekend killing of Stanley E. Gryziec, 59, of 608 S. James reported Monday that the descriptions of the two assailants, who handcuffed Gryziec's wife before binding and stabbing Gryziec, are vague since the two were wearing ski masks. Uhl said it is known only that both are male, one of average height and stocky build, the other tall and slim.

The two assailants broke into the Gryziec home late Saturday night and made off with about $100 in cash, Uhl said. He said the couple's 6 year oid grandson was asleep upstairs during the break in, and was unharmed. Gryziec's home is next door to the liquor store he has operated for 30 years, and police believe the two men were looking for liquor store revenues when they broke into Gryziec's house. Anyone who was in the S. James Street area late Saturday night or early Sunday morning is requested to contact the police department.

Peter Kachris, assistant superintendent of administration, told the board that the Auburn Teachers Association (ATA) contract specifically requires that initial contract negotiations be conducted in private. Should the board, pass the resolution, he said, it would be a violation of that contract. However, Kachris said, it "would not be out of order for the board to go on record as approving of such a resolution." Board Member Roger Basha suggested that since John McCarthy, who submitted the resolution, was not present, the board should table the motion until the next session "out of courtesy to a fellow board member." McCarthy was unable to attend becausehe was stranded in Marcellus by the unexpected snowfall, according to Board President James Cranfield. Another McCarthy resolution requiring all applicants for employment by the school district to "identify their relationship, by blood or to any administrator employed currently by the district," or to "incumbent board members" was also tabled. The resolution comes on the heels of some controversy in the district concerning alleged nepotism.

In other action, the board approved payment of all school district bills for the month of October. The board also moved to a accept a bid of $1,920 by the Automatic Letter Service for the. purchase of new typewriters fro Auburn High School. On behalf of the board, Father James Enright congratulated the Auburn High School Model United Nations Club for winning the "Outstanding Individual Delegation" awared award at last weekend's Model United Nations. The event was conducted at Cayuga County Community College.

The board approved a motion by Cranfield to move December's board meeting from Dec. 6 to Dec. 13, because "The 13th is the only date we can find for the board Christmas party." Cranfield reminded the board that a work session is scheduled for Nov. 15. Schools to Close Two Days AUBURN All Cayuga County school districts, including the Auburn district, will be closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of the traditional Veterans' Day, according to Paul Haley, county superintendent of schools.

Deaths Great 'A peeV Kathy Waller is happily holding her tinuous apple peel, 2,068 inches in engraved plaque and a gift certifi length.

Working at a table surrounded by mall shoppers, Miss Wafler displayed poise, patience, stamina and a steady hand as she scored the entire apple with her budding knife and then lifted the threadlike strip of apple peel from the apple. Eleven and a half hours of precise, concentrated work left the champion with tired eyes and a sore back. She had been practicing in odd moments' for about two weeks before the contest and says that her father gave her some useful tips. She advises future apple peeling competitors to choose their contest apple1, carefully, as a fruit that is two mature becomes waxy and hard to hold, while the skin of an immature apple is tough and difficult to cut.
