theme of the Parade was
"Pioneer Christmas" and
Colborne Central School, with
teachers and students alike put
a special effort in their splendid
float drawn by Arnold Young's
prize winning horses. The effort
was well worth -while and cold

'rejoiced in the knowledge°they
had won first prize in their
class.
The Canadian Forresters of
Benmiller also put much time
and effort on their float and
won second prize in their class.
Kevin Dykstra got a splendid
idea and decided he would
work on a float for the parade
and emphasized the thought of

RUBY
"The price of wisdom is
• •above -rubies," so said Job
In the Bible, 'implying that
even this variety of the
corundum species was ex-
traordinarily valuable end -
highly esteemed. • The
'superlatives that have been
used to describe ruby and -
to . praise Its virttes are
seemingly without' end. In
,.Sanskirt " this stone was
more valued than any other:
"ratnaraj" (king of precious.
stones) and "ratnanayaka"
(leader of precious stones).
In our contemporary
society, Ruby still holds a
position of pre-eminence
and finds wide use as the
July birthstone, as it has for
many ggenerations.
• A multitude of legends
and strange beliefs
surrounded the: ruby in an-
cient times. Among other
things, it was thought that
the wearer of a ruby was
blessed with health, wealth, .
wisdom, and outstanding
success in affairs of the
heart. This noble gem has
always been a favorite'
adornment for royal
crowns.
Only transparent corun-
dum of , medium -light . to
dark tones of red to purple,
red hues Is properly called
ruby. Very light hl ies of red
are called pink) Sapphire.
The finest grades of rubies
are red or very slightly pur-
plish red of high Intensity,
found almost exclusively in
Burma. Thbiland • •and
Ceylon also produce gem
quality ` rubies. Corundums
of ruby colour, displaying
distinct asterism •are called'
Star Rubies. Although
corundum has been found
in many places, not all
corundum is of gem quality.

consequently. didn't achieve
anything during the World
'Food Conference held in Rome
recently
Also discussed at the conven-
tion last week was a proposed
landuse policy,.which, .if im-
plemented by the government,
will mean that all; the farmland
would stay in agriculture, good'
cash crop land for beans and
corn, pasture for cattle, tabacco
land for tabacco, etc., while the
marginal lands should be
retained for woodlots, golf
courses, trailer camps, etc.
The OFA voted to support
Federal agriculture minister-.
Eugene Whelan's stand on
protesting recently" imposed
U.S. beef and pork import
quotas.
OFA members also backed
his '.decision7to retain existing
global import quotas to

The OFA also wants the
federal government to initiate
an investigation into pricing
practices of the Canadian fer-
tilizer industry with the OFA
represented on the in-
vestigating committee.
OFA president Hill said "it's
hard to understand why fer-
tilizer prices have increased
X00 per cent over the past
year." '
The .current nitrogen shor-
tage doesn't account for the en-
tire increase; he said.
Another - recommendation
asks the Ontario Fertilizer Ad-
visory Board to insist that fer-
tilizer companies be compelled
to label the source of nitrogen
in all fertilizers. .
Other recommendations
approved from OFA regional
bodies include:
*. That the OFA press the
provincial or federal govern-
ment for laws ,to: prevent
'snowmobile trespassers from
suing land owners for damages
to themselves or machines or
. private property.
* That ',tags • of prepared
