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. They must
also have the necessary
educational requirements. -
Secondary classification means
enrolled in secondary school at.
time of application'. -Post
secondary category means
students enrolled in a com-
munity college or university at
time of application.

CUT DIAMONDS.
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.
