The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-03-06, Page 23I1 The Government has recently announced this year's summer employment programme, Ontario Experience '75. Ontario Experience '75 wilT provide approximately 7,500 summer jobs and an additional 10;000 students will be em- ployed . as ' summer replacements by the various Government Ministries, boards and commissions. Because of the mail strike I will be pleased to provide some details of this programme and could " arrange delivery of applications to the appropriate Government ministries. Students are encouraged to. submit their applications as early as possible and . they should apply to programmes operating in their own home area 'because travel allowances, and room and -board are not paid.

An accurately proportioned, cut diamond will attract the highest price per carat for cutting quality. • When a diamond is cut to gain weight, or spread to make .it look larger than it is, it may be too deep ,or too shallow aboVe or below the girdle, or the table may be too wide in proportion to the total diameter of, the stone. The, price per carat weight will be lower. At the bottom of the price scale are 'badly -cut stones, which may be unsymmetrical, out -of - round, have irregular tables (the large flat facet or surface on the top of the diamond), or misplaced facets, the culet, (the bottom point of the diamond) too large or not in a central position. All these variations from • the ideal standard affect the beauty of a polished stone and definitely affects its price. Since diamonds are c'olourless.; or nearly so, their beauty depends on brilliancy and fire and any reduction of these vital properties has a naateriat a -fleet on beauty and value: ;When the table is .spread (too Targe)' the thickness of the. crown is reduced „possibly .altering the angles. A wide table means smaller crown facets and less di'spl'ay of prismatic colours, because the crown facets are responsible for the fire, If a stone is too deep, the angles are altered and much of the light is'Iost through the sides instead of reflecting back to the top of the stone. If the pavilion (bottom part of the diamond) is too shallow most of the light fails to be reflected at all, resulting in a serious_ loss of brilliancy; thus beauty, and value. Finish can make the dif- r ference between full beauty and relative- unattractiveness in a cut diamond, for poor polish, poor symmetry, a bearded or rough girdle, and large culet, collectively affect the appearance. In order to achieve maximum brilliancy, itis essential that the facets'be flat, plane surface,s, and well polished (no, evidence of tiny scratches, minute grooves or polish marks). This phase of grading, along with propor- tions, .has a definite price affect together y with carat weight, colour and clarity. Diamonds are priced per,. carat weight. The price per carat varies with weight, colour grade, clarity grade and cutting grades (propor- tions and finish). The diamond - must be graded under` these categories, '.of very fine graduations, by a trained and skilled observer in natural or neutral light, with a fully corrected tenp,ower magnifier (binocular examination under dark -field illumination). No other commodity has such high standards of scrutiny; especially when this beautiful gem is a marvel' of nature itself. Part eight ... next week .T David C. AnstettG°G.
