"The price of wisdom is
above rubles," so said Job
In the Bible, implying that
even this variety of the
corundum species was ex-
traordinarily valuable and
highly esteemed. The
superlatives that have been
used to describe ruby and
to pialse its virtues are
seemingly without end. In
Sanakirt this stone was
more valued than any other:
"ratnaraf" (king of precious
stones) and "ratnanayaka"
(leader of precious etones).
In obr contemporary
society, Ruby still holds a
position of pre-eminence
and finds wide use as the
July birthstone, as it has for
many generations.
A multitude of legends
and strings beliefs
surrounded the ruby In an-
tient times. Among other
things, It was thought that
the wearer of a ruby was
biassed with health, wealth,
Wisdom, and outstanding
success In affairs of the

Lions Club hears of Russia Home to be restored
ItY DICK ATOM
Local lawyer F,, Beecher
Menzies QC was quite iron,
pressed with some areas of
progress in the Soviet Union
but not so much with others as
a result of his October Bar
Association safari to that vast
country, principally the great
cities of Leningrad and
MOSCOW.
But his wife Peggy, •thinks
the shopping facilities right
here at home are vastly
superior to those encountered
in these two cities, That
Russian stores, with a show of
modernization, probably are
similar to those existing in
rural Ontario 40 or 50 years
ago, might be an assessment.
The Town Solicitor, Lions
Club president 1959-60,' gave
an "in-depth" opinion talk to
Lions at their dinner meeting
in St. Paul's Pariah Hall
Tuesday evening. He was in-
troduced by Hugh Flynn,
second vice-president, and
thanked by Walter J, Palmer.
"By our standards, there
seemed to be very little crime
in Russia," he declared. "I at-
tribute this to the controlled
press and media if you like, tur-
ning out only what the govern-
ment sees fit to publicize.
Perhaps we in Canada, pay a
price for a free press and com-
munications system."
Elaborating, he pointed out
that in Canada, information is
distributed immediately to all
parts of the country, whereas in
Russia not a word comes out.
As a result, he thought, there
were not as much 'unrest or
related problems to contend
with.
"How would you like to live
in Russia with a universal cur-
few at 11 p.m.?" Mr. Menzies
asked. "After that hour you are
on the streets at your peril!
This indicates that the
authorities are very worried
about unrest and crowd con-
trol.
The speaker felt that the
seeming lack of unemployment
in the Soviet Union was due
partly, at least, to compulsory
military service. But the
soldiers are expected to work at
civilian jobs; he had seen them
digging ditches.
From his inquiries, Mr. Men-,, ,
zies had found that salaries
and wages ranged far below
Canadian standards. For exam-
ple, on a comparative basis,
average wage of workers is
$150 per month; graduate nur-
ses, $70 per month; doctors,
$150 per month; lawyers, $210
per month; engineers and con-
struction superintendents, the
highest level of workers, $400
to $500 per month.
Pointing out that he was on a
trip involving lawyers, they
ascertained that lawyers are
much smaller in number and
possess a much narrower range
of duties in Canada, as pretty
well everything is carried out
by the state, In the huge cities
of Leningrad and Moscow,
where they visited, there are
only 500 and 1,200 lawyers
respectively,
With regard to housing, Mr.
Menzies commented that in
Leningrad no one lives in a
separate house; all are in
multiple dwellings and apart-
ments with a cooperative
system in operation. But one
must pay on application and
wait a long time to get in. "It is
clearly a controlled society."
The speaker emphasized the
vast amount of art by the great
masters such as Rembrandt
and Leonardo da Vinci
displayed in the Heritage
Museum in Leningrad, "the
Venice of the North." This city
suffered frightfully in the great
siege of the last war, but the art
treasures were removed to
Siberia and brought back after
the war. It was hard to believe,
he said, but one cemetery con-
tained 600,000 graves of those
who had died during that awful
period in Russian history.
Here are a feW quotes on the
positive side:
"Moscow's transportation
system is one of the best in the
world!"
"There is a great deal of
dissatisfaction in Russia but
The Signal-Star Paper Leafs,
led by a strong three-goal per-
formance by the editorial
department, came from behind
to 'lose convincingly to the
Detroit Red Wing Old Timers,
last Sunday.
The Old Timers proved to be
about twice as good as the
Paper Leafs, as the final score
was approximately 13-7, depen-
ding upon which goal one
counts, '
The benefit game staged in
the Goderich Memorial Arena,
raised $600 for Meals on
Wheels and $500 for the Old
Timers' Charity, An additional
$235 was raised to meet the
Old Timers' travelling expenses
to come to•Goderich,
The.tarne was yery.close urk-,;•
til the 59 second mark of the
first period, when the Old
Timers' Jack Roberts broke the
scoreless tie. The Paper. Leafs,
not being quitters, tied the
game at 7:08, when junior
magnate, Robbie Shrier Scored
for the Leafs.
The Leafs went into a defen-
sive shell to attempt to protect
the 1-1 tie, and the Old Timers
quickly scored four times in
seven minutes. The period en-
ded on a good note for the
Leafs, as Gary Loewen won a
face-off deep in the Red Wing
zone and scored on a rising
wrist shot,
It was 7-2 in favor of the Old
Timers, late in the second
period before the Leafs got on
the board again. Leaf goalie,
Dave "Willie" Williams, who
played tremendously on of-
fense, as well as being a stand-
out between the pipes, sent Jeff
Seddon away with a breakaway
pass. Seddon made no mistake,
scoring the first of his two goals.
The Seddon ,goal upset the
Old Timers to such an extent
that they scored twice in the
next two minutes, to take a 9-3
lead into the dressing room af-
there alao is a greet pride that
things can be changed within
the prevailing system, and
there is a great pride among the
people for their accomplish-
ments."
"They're going in one direc-
tion; we're going in another."
Jack graham of Atwood,
Lions Zone Chairman, paid his
official visit to the Club. He
urged Clinton Lions to consider
organization of a "Leo Club"
for the young men of the coin,
munity interested in service
work. It was stated that this
may be proceeded with at a
later date. He also discussed
the Lions' efficiency
programme.
Mr, Graham was thanked by
Eugene McAdam, first vice-
president, and was presented
with a gift,
Lion John Oeatreicher, chair-
man for the CNIB campaign,
reported that the recent can-
vass by Lions would likely
reach the $500 objective.
Stewart Taylor, chairman,
Grey Cup tickets campaign,
reported a net profit of $1,526
for Lio'ns' service work, and an-
nounced the winners of the
various prizes including $500
cash to Robert Snell, Bayfield,
on a ;ticket (East 20 - West '7)
sold by Earl Hilderly who
received $50 for selling the win-
ning ticket.
President Harry Merriman
was in charge of the meeting.
ter two periods.
Leaf coach Ed Byrski was
visibly upset with his team's
play early in the third period.
The Old Timers, sensing this,
decided to give Ed and goalie
Dave Williams a break, They
switched goalies, with the Leafs
for a few seconds. This stirred
the Leafs spirits somewhat, as
they enjoy taking shots at their
own goalie. Unfortunately, they
didn't get a chance to touch the
puck before the Old Timers'
Rusty Miles raced in and took
a shot at the Leafs' new goalie,
Mike Kanat. Kanat gloved the
puck and promptly tossed it
into the Leaf goal.
Coach Byrski screamed
"High treason," and demanded
t9, ,imck. After
mirth deliberation; "the Leafs
were awarded the goal also,
making the score 9.4, To the
players and the 1,000 fans in
attendance, this seemed to be
the turning point.
Just as the Leafs were
making a strong comeback, the
Wings scored two more goals,
even though Williams was
using a goal stick the size of a
billboard.
Sandra Connell, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs, Charles Merrill of
London and former of Hullett

from the University of Western
Ontario with a Bachelor of

Sociology and she is presently
teaching at Stoneybrook
Public School in London. She
graduated from CHSS in Clin-

Brian Rumig added a goal
for the Leafs, when he scooped
up a loose hockey stick (with
the puck glued to it) and threw
it in the Red Wing net.
Then John Buchanan, who
had had trouble shooting the
puck throughout the game,
reverted back to his youth
when he was a basketball star,
picked up the puck outside the
face-off and threw it into the
Detroit goal, for what he
thought was two points. He
jumped in the air, and yelled,
"The basket is good!"
He was awarded a goal,
Mike Kanat, who was back
in the Detroit net, scored .the
Old Timers' final goal. He
came out of the penalty h\rlk
where he was serving a penalty,
and 'scored on Williams,'
Jeff "Flaihy 15" Seddon
finished off the scoring with his
second goal, coming off a
scramble in front of. the Detroit
net.
There were nine penalties
called in the game, all going to
the Old Timers. At one time,
they played four men short, but
the Paper Leafs failed to
capitalize, when none of them

At the annual meeting of the
VanEgrriond Foundation trust,
which is raising the funds for
the work, Robert W. Newnham
a teacher at CHSS was elected
chairman, 4ucceeding James
Doig.
Other officers are: vice chair-
men, Dr. Rodger Whitman and
Arnold Stinnissen; secretary,
Miss 'Cynthia Newnham;
treasurer; David Ring; interior
house committee, Mrs, John
McCowan and Mrs. Robert
Spittal; exterior house commit-
tee, Arnold Stinnissen;
publicity, Mrs. John McCowan;
could get the puck away from
Old Timer star, Lou Bendo,
who killed off all the penalties.
The Leafs didn't draw any
penalties because of the stern
training program of Coach Byr-
ski, and because they could
rarely get within two feet of
any Old Timer.
John Buchanan got away
with a few questionable calls
however, as he pulled down
several Old Timers, on oc-
casion, Referees Deb Shewfelt
and Ted Williams were lenient
however, They realized that
Buchanan was just trying to
keep his balance, everytime he
grabbed a red sweater.
:Brian Rumig missed a
glorious scoring opportunity
when he was 'awarded
penalty shot, but.he failed to
control the lead puck, which
weighed about three pounds.
Marty Pavelich led the Old
Tim'ers' scoring with three
ways and means, Mrs. Dorothy
Williams of R,R. 4, Clinton; ar-
Chitecturel cOnsultant, Nick
Hill, Goderich; auxiliary co-
ordinator, Mrs. Marjorie Whit-
man; membership chairman,
Mrs, Vivian Newnham;
historian, Fired Van Egmond
of London, a great-great grand-
son of Col, Van Egmond.
Mr, Newnham said that as
1975 is the centennial of
Seaforth's incorporation as a
town, it is most imperative that
this historic site be presentable
'and open to the many visitors
expected in this area.
An historic marker was un-
veiled in 1973 in front of the
old Georgian brick house on
the hill overlooking the
Hayfield River by the Ar-
cheological and Historic Sites
Board of Ontario.
The house is being toured
now by interested groups of
school children and adults,
David Ring, an officer on the
student's council at Seaforth
District High School, said that
the students at the school had
raised money this fall, through
the selling of magazine sub-
scriptions in the community
d t
planned. to present $500 of
it to the Van Egmond Foun-
dation.
Mr. Newnham said the house
, would provide a living museum
by demonstrating and teaching
the pioneer arts and crafts such
as quilting, weaving, spinning,
baking and soap making. It is
hoped to set up a potter's wheel
and a kiln in the basement. Mr.
Newnham spoke of the old
neighbouring Egmondville pot-
tery site that was excavated
this past summer by a group
from the Royal Ontario
Museum.
Dr. Whitman said that Mis.
Mary Stephenson, a 90-year old
quitter of Brussels, has offered
to ,make a quilt depicting the
Van Egmond house and the
family crests in the four corners
which can be put up for auction
or on which lottery tickets can
be sold, to raise money for the
restoration work.
