residents get
into the spirit
HURONVIEW-On December 8 residents
had the good fortune of hearing the
Spaforth-Dashwood Community Band with
Dr. Toll, Harry Hoffman and guest per-
formers. 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.

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.
