Clinton News-Record, 1974-12-05, Page 11e new Clinton PUS John Wise Hal Hartley 4 Joe Atkinson PERIDOT The term peridot comes directly from the French "peridot", which in old French was "peritot", the origin of the word is uncertain, however. In com- mon with many other gemstones, peridot has an interesting background of legend and super- stition. It was called "the gem of the sun" by the ancients. Their belief that it had the power to dissolve 'enchantments and to put evil spirits to flight was probably due to this association with the sun, before whose life- giving rays darkness and all powers of darkness were driven away. For peridot to exert its full pqwers as a talisman, it had to be set in gold; worn in this way, it was thought to dispell the terrors of the night, Top quality grades of Peridot are medium to dark, slightly yellowish green, which to many gives the impression of a warm, velvety colour. It is never as in- tense in colour as the most ex- pensive grades of emerald or demantoid garnet, but to those who appreciate peridot, this is an important facet of its beauty, There is little doubt that over the years the most important source of gem peridot has been the island in the Red Sea, Zeber- jed. The second major source of peridot is the Mogok area of Up- per Burma. Excellent light green stones are found occasionally on an Indian Reservation in Arizona. Other sources of gem quality peridot in small quan- tities are Brazil, Australia and Czechoslovakia, Gem quality peridot has a unique beauty of its own; a soft velvety texture imparting a "sleepy" appearance of warmth, make an inviting combination, increasingly cherished by its' wearer, Peridot is the birthstone for the month of August, David Anstett.

The pallbearers were Brig. Morgan Smith and Adam Flowers of Bayfield, Frank • Falconer of RR 5, Clinton, former ag. rep. Fred Elliott : James C. Shearer of Bright, a Plazas going up To reduce the price of sugar, R.E. McKinley, MP for Huron- Middlesex, has suggested that the government change Canada's sugar trading pat- terns, or revive the sugar beet industry in southwestern On- tario. In the .House of Commons' last Wednesday, Mr. McKinley, asked Alastair Gillespie, Minister of Industry, Trade and Commerce if he forsees any changes. "Canada's trading patterns with Cuba in particular have already changed very dramatically. I think last year, something like 47,000 tons were imported by Canadian com- panies from Cuba. This year I think the estimate is very close to 97,000 tons," Gillespie said. • He did not mention if these changes would reduce the price. Mr. 'McKinley then asked Minister of Agriculture, Eugene Whelan if he and his "cabinet colleagues" had reached a decision regarding the re- establishment of the sugar beet industry in southwestern On- tario. "If the price of sugar remained at the present' level, at least some of these funds could be left in this country to help the country in his and in my particular district. Could we have a report, on the minister's progress in this regard?" McKinley asked. Whelan replied," We still have ongoing meetings, and a paper is being prepared for my colleagues in government." at tenants secret ConrtruCtan of th; two shop- ping plaza developments is progressing gradually without problems, according to Bert Alexander of Suncoast Estates, and Gord Smith, vice-president of Rockledge Properties Ltd. The septic tank system has been installed and approved at the Rockledge site, on Huron Road, east of the railroad tracks, just outside the town limits. Mr. Smith said the weeping tile bed system was completed Monday, and work is underway to pour 1,000 feet of cement for the plaza walls. He said that work is coming along smoothly, and will con- tinue through the winter. There is no deadline to meet, but he expects construction to be com- pleted for next summer. Tenders are being accepted until December 10, for the next phase of construction, which will include the erection of steel beams and the roof. Three tenants have been signed for the plaza, but Mr. Smith said that the names will not be released until the new year. Suncoast had not picked up their building permit for the construction of footings and foundations at press time, Building Inspector Roy Breckenridge said he expects that Suncoast will get the per- mit by the end of the week.

It was decided to -give some financial help to the Holmesville Hockey Club for sticks. There was a motion made and passed- that ALL PAR- TICIPANTS in Recreation in Goderich Township must pay the requested regulation fee. It was also finalized that the Township skating party will be December 30, 8-10 p.m. in the Goderich Arena. A motion was also made and passed that the adult and children's recreation be divided at the 16 year age (16 and under and 16 and over) so the 16 years old (only) may go to both. It was left to Alison Lobb to investigate into an "All- Seasons Survival Course" speaker for 1975. The participants to date total over seventy who have registered. Among other things, (such as budget) it was discussed and decided the regular meeting would NOT be December 25th but brought back one week to Dec. 18th at 8:30 p.m. at the township shed again. The meeting was then adjourned. It was noted that the round dancing group is well on its way this year. The adult exer- cises and volleyball on Wed- nesday nights is having a better attendance of adults, Perhaps the outdoor farm work is nearing its end. The children's volleyball on Saturday morning is still in full swing with four girls and 17 boys out last Saturday.
