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,

Obituary
CLINTON NEWS RECORD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1974--'PAGE 11
In, an obituary of Mrs.
Stewart (Grace) Middleton in
last week's paper, the names of
pallbearers and flowerbearers
were left out.
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.
Bert Alexander said that soil
tests have been completed on

JOIN THE CROWD
Rec. News
The regular meeting which is
always open, was last Wed-
nesday evening at the Town-
ship shed with 6 members in at-
tendance and four guests, Bill
Hoggarth, Len Wilson, Mr,
Steignstra, and Helen Hoggart.
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. Thanks
to Martie Lobb, Millie Lobb
and Mrs. Jantzi, who took over
last Saturday while the
Hoggart's arranged to get the
township Rec float to Goderich
for the Santa Clause Parade.
Surprise, yes there was a
float! With Helen Westbrook
thinking of such and Jean Ginn
to remind us of the PIONEER
THEME, the workshop at the
Hoggart's was very busy last
Friday night. Fran Powell cua.,
afi'd donated a couple evergreen,,,
trees and Marion Powell and
Doug Yeo and the Hoggart's
worked like elves, with pioneer
rec ideas, pencil, paper, paint,
staples etc,
The last minute rush must
have been like Santas work
shop, but we were very pleased
to have lunch at midnight or
so, made and donated by
Luella Yea. Thanks to Frank
De Jong for the use of his flat-
rack truck which was used for
the Goderich Township Rec
Float.
There were about 20 who
were on the float including
Jake and Elsie Reder and
Doris Shilbee, Pioneer Rec, in-
cludes hunting and crocheting,
There was Jake in a cutter with
a double-barrel shot-gun and
the ladies in Pioneer clothes,

ment, skates, and an old radio
