contributed to a fruit shower for the

was done as a community effort as

brought their fruit to the Methodist
church where a pleasant evening was
passed. Light refreshments were
served. About sixty quarts of fruit
were received.

Oddly enough. the fact that Cio-

Magical Powers of the Ring
BY E. Doorway.

I T needs no Aladdin to assure US
that rings have mystical powers,
which may be invoked by the ini-
tiate with the certainly that one
Of the genu will appear to do our bid
ding.
From time immenaoriaI man (and
especially woman) has adorned his
person with all kinds Of fetishes and
charms, not only to add to his beauty
Of appearance, but very often to en-
hance his dignity, to impress others
with his grandeur, wealth and power.
or all these ornaments the ring sur
passes every other bijou, even the
crown royal. which it actually out
shines by its traditional power and
quaint and varied symbolism
In olden times 1t was more for it's
that the ring was worn. Rings in
Vulnerable have been preserved In ma
tional collections all over the world,
or as precious family heirlooms. The
former have been among the treas
ure found by archaeologtsts In their
excavations or garnered by collectors
and connoisseurs. Some of these. en-
tombed 5000 years with Tut-ankh-
Amen, are eloquent witnesses of the
highly developed art Of their original
period, and the artistic imagination
Of Egyptian craftsmen.
The ring has always been a symbol
Of faith and power. BY his ring tho
Pharaoh invested Joseph with his
authority.
Darius sealed with his ring the en-
trance to the lions den. where Dam
iel spent a night. An almost infinite
power was attributed to King Solos
mons sealing ring. upon which was
engraved that mysterious word:
"Shemhampharaoh." BY its magic, ac-
cording to tradition, King Solomon
was able to summon a demon who
helped him to build the temple of Je-
rusalem, and every day carried the
king up to the armament, where he
learned to understand the secrets and
wonders Of the universe.
Ancient euthors describe the celc-
brated ring Of the Greek Polykrates,
Tyrant of Samos. This jewel was n
large emerald, upon which were en-
graved a Tyre, a bee, bulls head,
and dolphin. According to legends,
Polykrates was so fortunate in every
thing he undertook that his friend.
the king of Egypt. who was visiting
him. warned him that this unprecc-
dented luck would invite the envy Of
tho gods. who never permit q mortal
to hs entirely happy.
