We decided to find just what type of girls wfll represent our 200th. anniversary celebration here in, Pottstown. And about the only way we could gather this information was to find each girls Birthstone and see what significance was attributed to each gem. So here is what we found.

Take it for what its worth, Doris Seibolff, was bora in February. Her birthstone is the Amethyst, gem of Peace. The beautiful purple gem has a deep religious significance for it typifies the supreme sacrifice of Christ. Delores Pioschak was born in May. Her Birthstone is the Emerald, gem of Immortality.

It is a gem that hath the power to show If plighted lovers keep their troth or no, If faithful, it is like the leaves of spring. If faithless, like those leaves withering. Darlene Donofrio and Queen Marty Lou Smale were born in June. Their Birthstone, the gem of beautiful women, is the only one of great beauty and value that comes from the sea. Prom Roman times, the Pearl has been prized by women of culture.

Arlene Shazjfer was born in August. The gem attributed to this month is Sardonyx, gem of courage. One of the oldest of all gems, it's history extends back to 2000 B. C. It was said that the gem lended courage to orators and some of the famous Roman Orators wore at least six of them on their fingers.

Joan Keim and Claudia Ellicker were born in October and their birthstone is the unusual Opal, symbol of Hope snd Purity A famous Greek said, "it is made up of all the glones of the most precious gems and to describe if is a matter of mexpressable difficulty Anthony gave One to Cleopatra, valued at $100,000, They both thought that it would prevent disease for the wearer Now we certainly arent superstitious, and we don't want any of our readers to be. but it does seem significant that the Queen and her court possess birth dates that are symbolic of PEACE I A I COURAGE, AND PURITY It surely seems that these five requisites are synonymous with the principles and ideals of Potts- wwe, a borough just 200 years young. Pottstown people enjoy PEACE, they surely BEAUTY, its people have COURAGE, and Purity and Mtod. may be enjoyed by everyone. See you nest Saturday, W.
