AMETHYST
This week let's discuss Ame

transparent gems. It is a variety
of crystalline quartz found in
shades varying from faintest vio

of recent years
in Brazil. Being
a particularly
beautiful ficm
slone, Amelhvst
often enters the
fashion parade
since it becomes
blonde,
brunette, redhead ana gray
haired person alike. With white
summer wear it is exceptionally
pieasmg. Historically, Amctnyst
was a favorite of the ancients
many years before the Christian
era. It is mentioned in the Bible
as the third stone in the third
row in the jeweled breastplate
containing the twelve precious
stones, worn by Aaron. And in
the New Testament, these stones
became the foundation stones of
the New Jerusalem described in
Revelation. Roman women prized
the Amethyst, believing it could
insure their husbands' love; and
the Greeks believed it to have a
sobering effect. Persons born in
February are fortunate to have
this exceptionally lovely birth
stone available at such reasonable
cost. Amethyst is not produced
synthetically, although there are
Imitations on the market which
have been sold as "Synthetic
Amethyst." And so again--choose
Jewelers before choosing Gems!

Group Urges
Millrace Test
A test move to raise the water
level in the Eugene Millrace was
urged Monday by a subcommit
tee of a special Millrace study
group.
Under the plan that was
recommended to the Eugene City
Council, water would be raised
for about one week. This would
permit the public and officials
to determine if mere water in
the historic stream would solve
the restoration problem.
The move was made after dis
cussion by the subcommittee
Monday night. Keith Fennell, of
the Millrace Assn., asked for the
test, according tor Chairman Ray
Sicgenthaler.
Consideration of such a test
would be discussed by the coun
cil's public works committee be
fore action by the full council,
according to Siegenthaler.
His subcommittee is one of
five studying Millrace conditions,
Members of the complete study
group were named by Mayor V.
Edwin Johnson last spring, after
citizens urged action to improve
the stream s present conditions.

Murder Trial
In 2nd Week
PORTLAND Wl The trial of
George Sack, accused of first
degree murder in the death of
his wife last Feb. 16, continued
in circuit court here Tuesday.
Two detectives, witnesses for
the prosecution, testified Mon

Her body was found in a clump
of bushes in the Portland sub
urbs two days after her death.
Other witnesses testified earlier
they had seen Sack's car in the
area.
Sack was accused by the dis

interest in his business affairs.
Sack, who has pleaded inno
cent, has denied all knowledge
of how the woman died.
