AMETHYST Quartz is the most common single mineral in the earth's crust, and as a gem, quartz is the most commonly used of. the minerals. Quartz in its various forms has attracted the attention of man from the earliest of times. The name quartz is an old German mining term of unknown meaning and has been used since the sixteenth century. ' The colourless variety, was known to the Greeks as "clear ice", believing that the mineral was ice in a permanent, solidified form. The Chinese believed rockcrystal quenched thirst when held in the mouth. Crystal, means, and refers only to, the natural external form of a crystalline mineral, to the internal arrangement of the structure of crystalline minerals, or to genuine rock crystal: not GLASS. Amethyst, the February birthstone is ' the most valuable member of the quartz family, derives its name from the Greek word meaning "not to intoxicate". Its reputed power to cure or prevent drunkenness stems from the ancient Greek myth of the God Bacchus and , Goddess Diana, (the god of wine). Because of this con- nection it was long believed that wine drunk from an amethystine cup, would prevent the loss of wits at banquets and drinking bouts. Amethyst was thought to quicken the intelligence, render the owner shrewd in business, protect soldiers, and control evil thoughts. Many fine specimens remain in the Soviet Treasury and the coronation regalia of England. The Orb contains a glorious amethyst as well as the King's sceptor. Today amethyst -set rings are worn by bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, and ' cerimonial wine is frequently drunk from goblets set with this beautiful variety of quartz. Amethyst ranges in colour from violet to red -purple and is frequently pale in tone. Deep evenly coloured speciments are particularly . desirable. Uneven distribution of colour is quite common. The most valuable hues, range from deep purplish red to purple -red, are known as Uralian or Siberian amethysts. The principal sources of fine -quality amethyst include Brazil, Uruguay and the Ural mountains in Russia, Ceylon, Japan, United States and Madagascar. Practically all varieties of quartz .are fairly common, and generally • available in quantities. The finest amethyst is one of -the most cherished of gemstones and is lower in price than many other gems in any size or quality. David C. AnstettG.G. Graduate Gemmologist (G.I.A.)

Whether it's after three months or eight months, at some point an abortion is killing. I will never say that the person who kills doesn't have to answer in some way for that killing and justify it in some way. And if I kill a man in self-defence, 1 should be able to explain the causes pf it and the courts will force me to do it. If a mother kills her child, or if a doctor kills a fetus in self-defence - of what? of the mother's health or of her, happiness or of her social rights or her privilege as a human being? - I think she should have to answer for it and explain. Now, whether it should be to three doctors or one doctor or to a priest or to her mother-in-law is a question you might want to. argue. But I do not believe, as I think the ex- treme case is put very often by the Women's Lib, that a person who commits this act of destruction - free abortion on demand - should just treat it as ... "It's my body,. you know, I have a right over my own body." You do have a right over your own body - it is your body. But the fetus is NOT your body. It's somebody else's body. And if you kill it, you'll have to explain. The treasurer's report was given by Mrs. Alice Krohmer..

JENE MILLER It doesn't frighten me when someone says they "don't like what I say": Sometimes even I Jo not like what I have to say. The thing which frightens me is if that is all they say!! Tell me I' m wrong and I will help you search for the Truth. Show me I' m wrong and I will follow you to the Truth. The shortest road to hell for our. nation, or our own souls, is to do- what "feels right". Scripture warns of a "way that seems right to the heart.of man which leads to destruction," and Jesus said the wide, easy, road leads to destruction. We stand at the doorway to an utterly new, and different American life-style, and must have courage to seek God's way.

Although Miss Plumtree and her brother can sell more footstools than they v can make, they don't like taking orders for them because it ties them down - restricts them. "It just wouldn't be fvn if we made them on a full-time basis," Miss Plumtree said. "Needlepoint with me is a hobby; with John it's different, his woodworking is his business." Ironically; little of what the Plumtrees make furnishes their own apartment - even their bookcase is made of metal. Mr. Plumtree• has begun to remedy that state of affairs by presenting his sister with a candle holder and laminated bowl as gifts. Recently, Mr: Plumtree tried his hand at photography and won fourth prize for his picture of heavy horses in the livestock division at the On- tario Fairs Convention in Toronto. In spite of his success, Mr. Plumtree said photography would remain a hobby with him . "As soon as you start doing something full-time, it becomes business."
