In keeping with the traditional festive season, many exciting events will be taking place during the month of December. Christmas music lasts such a short time, residents want to make use of every oppor- tunity to sing the carols. This past week has been a busy one. On December 2 some of the ladies got to work, baking cookies with the help of staff. Ceramic class was held on December 3, and also at that time, ladies from unit three were busy with their baking. At noon on December 15 residents and staff from the Huron Heights wing sat down to a Christmas dinner. It was an excellent meal with turkey and trimmings, topped off with plum pudding. The food was cooked to perfection, and enjoyed by everyone. Prior to the meal, Frank Bissett played Christmas carols on the organ. During the morning of December 5, residents had the teachers and pupils from HUG (Help Us Grow) for their weekly visit. (In last week's edition of the Clinton News - Record, it was explained what HUG is all about.) After playing some games, the children made Christmas trees with the help of the adopted "grandparents". The trees were left at Huronview and are now hanging on the doors. The residents are enjoying this hour of getting together, and look forward to the visits with these young people. Mrs. M. Prouty opened the mid -week chapel service with prayer, followed by repeating the Lord's Prayer. A deOtional reading entitled When Someone Does You Wrong was given by Marjorie Herdman. A Bible quiz was led by. Mrs. Prouty. The hymn Blessed Assurance was sung. flThe composer was Fanny Crosby, a blind lady, who had a sweet assurance of salva- tion. A reading He Does` Care was given by Mabel Scott. A solo Be More for the Master was sung by Mrs. Prouty and accompanied by Elsie Henderson. On December 6, the roman Catholic Mass was conducted by Rev. John Pluta. Residents from the Sumner Hill wing en- joyed their Christmas dinner at the noon hour. Staff members who were working on that floor joined with them to partake of this traditional meal. • The Christmas bazaar at ARC Industries, Dashwood, took place on the weekend. Several Huronview residents attended: By all reports, it wa8 quite successful. For the past few weeks, the choir with organist Frank Bissett has been busy prac- tising Christmas music. As a prelude to the festive season, carols are already being sung at Sunday morning worship. Huronview welcomes Jessie Jones from Clinton,' Margaret McBride of Brucefield, Margeueite Walden and Clarence Walden from Sea forth. Jewelry Fashions, Facts, Fiction GEMWISE • by David Anstett () ML.MBE:R AMERICAN ()EM SOCIETY DIAMOND, SIMPLY ELEGANT One diamond of a carat or more. What could be simpler for a fine holiday present? No question about it, a diamond is an elegant gift. Why is a diamond measured in carats? Long before weights could be determined as precisely as we deter- mine them now, diamond dealers determined weights by balancing the diamond in a scale and then seeing how many carob beans it took to balance the weight of the diamond. Recently, some advertisers have of- fered watches set with a diamond for only $3.00. Three dollars for a diamond watch! What's the catch ? The watch does contain a very small diamond which they list as being ".25 pt." A very small diamond indeed! The measure is' pt. (or point), not ct. (or' carat). So the . diamond in the watch is tiny, just bigger than a grain of sand. Beautiful diamonds of a carat or more are substantial gifts. To get just one carat of gem quality diamonds, thirty-five tons of diamond bearing blue ground• must be processed. From that source, perhaps 4.5 carats of diamond rough are found. From those 4.5 carats, one diamond of gemstone quality may be recovered. The stone is simple, look elegant. The human effort rc aim diamonds is impressive. No wonder diamond is valued so highly. We value diamond most of all for how briefly we capture beauty in its brilliance, its fire. What better symbol of the miracle of your love than a diamond? Come by today and we'll help you make that miracle he realized.
