SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINDEALER - PAGE 5 • WEDNESDAY. JUNE It. It7« A grandmother clock honors dad with timely recognition One of the basic and lasting tenets of the Ori­ ental philosophy is that of ancestor worship. This in­ grained attitude continues today with a very special deference to the sage seg­ ment of society. In its English transla­ tion, and American adap­ tation, we know this as Father's Day. Perhaps this is why Father's Day is gaining in status as an important and memorable occasion. Naturally, there's far more to Father's Day than gift giving. There are the many family councils and discussions about the se­ lection as well as the pre­ sentation of a special gift. A natural for Father's Day is a tall and handsome Grandfather's clock that transcends generations. While it adds a functional and decorative tone to the home, the Grandfather clock is a symbol of stabil­ ity, grandeur and continu­ ity. Rldgeway, a major manufacturer of tall case clocks, has taken pride in the careful artistry and production of clocks for the past 50 years. What better reminder of the past for dad and the entire family to enjoy than a stately floor piece crafted to clock many min­ utes, hours and years into the future. Because this is a Bicen­ tennial year, it seems es­ pecially appropriate to Prominent fathers of past years It's remarkable indeed that the times are so often mirrored, even forecast, by the men who have been named Fathers of the Year in the past. President Gerald Ford was the Father of the Year in 1974. Senator Edmund Mus- kie, the 1975 Father of the Year, was a strong front- runner just four years ago, and to this day, he re­ mains a spokesman for the Democratic party. It was President John Kennedy in 1963; Senator Robert Kennedy in 1960; and going back a few years, the mantle was cast on President Eisenhower in 1943 and President Tru­ man in 1945. A list of famous Fathers of the Year, whether it be in the fields of statesman­ ship, entertainment, cul­ ture, religion, or sports, reflects the times and the aspirations of all the peo­ ple, in the year that they were named. It is this quality of rel­ evance that has given the observance of Father's Day a contemporary point of view, that has kept it as meaningful as the day that it was first celebrated in Spokane, Washington 66 years ago. C\ choose among the Coloni­ al reproductions, practi­ cally line for line replicas that noted the passage of time in the late 18th Cen­ tury. Ridgeway has scaled these handsome clocks that once graced only the finest homes into sizes to fit into livinarooms, fam­ ily rooms anroedrooms of today. Clocks that measur­ ed a commanding 96" high now are available in sizes ranging from 64" to 85". Generally the shorter clocks are termed "Grand­ mother" rather than "Grandfather." No matter what the size, or stature, these clocks are crafted of the same fine hardwoods. with movements Imported from* the Black Forest re­ gion of Germany and chime each half hour with the impressive resonance of Westminster chimes. Chimes can be silenced during sleeping hours. Beveled glass doors expose burnished steel or polished brass tubular weights. Lunar dials chart tides and moon activity above Arabic or Roman numerals etched into clock faces. There are sage as well as witty comments on these lunar dials ranging from the traditional "tempus fugit" to happy or dour sun and moon faces to ships at sea. What better gift for dad? .
