According to Michael Anstett of Anstett Jewellers in Exeter, volcanic eruptions, such as the one in Washington State recently, create many of the gems we use in our. jewellery. But it takes thousands of years for the gems to form, Anstett said. Anstett spoke to the ladies of the Huron Country Playhouse guild after a luncheon meeting at Oak- wood Inn„. A land mark is missing from the end of Grand Bend's main street. The Dodge'Ems, a bumper car ride, has been torn down at E.J. Knapps Amusement Park. Knapps spokesman, Toby Tyler says that the dodge cars had been at that location for over 30 years. Prior to that they had been down on the beach for about three years. He estimated that 'the ride was about 50 years old. It had originally come from the United States. Tyler said that the ears were removed because the amusement park is being remodelled, and it would cost too much to repair and fix up the ride.

The hearing, which started last Monday and lasted until Wednesday was called for a William Adelman. Clerk Louise Clipperton explained that some property owned by Adelman is designated under the of- ficial plan as urban development. Adelman sought to have the land designated commercial. A commercial designation would allow Adelman to develop the property any way he wanted.

Anstett said that coral, which is often used in jewellery, is becoming scarce. Coral, he explained, is formed by millions of tiny marine animals. But because of water pollution there doesn't seem to be as much coral as there was a few years ago. Anstett also explained the A scrambler that was located at the rear of the park has been moved to the front to replace the dodge 'ems, and an octopus is being purchased to go in where the scrambler was. The octopus will be set up before July 1. Tyler said that they hope to get a dodge car ride next year. He said the cost of new dodge'ems is about $80,000.

Pearls are formed when a grain of sand or other foreign matter gets inside the shell of a mollusc. To fight the foreign matter the sea animal creates a pearl around it. Natural pearls are formed when this happens on its own. Cultured pearls, Anstett explained, are still real pearls which have been kept on a pearl farm. Owners keep the molluscs in cages under water, pry them open and put a foreign body inside the shell so that it will create pearls. Anstett spoke to the group on how. to tell real stones from synthetics. He said that only an expert can tell a ruby from a spinel. Even Queen Victoria was fooled when she had a spinel put into the crown jewels, he added. The playhouse guild held a business meeting following Anstett's talk.
