POT OF -GOLD
Just beyond the rainbow's end
There lies a pot of gold
Just around a tiny bend
Filled with gems untold.
•
Who can tell what these may be
A bottle of hope or care
A package of friendship, a jar
of love
Virtues both precious and rare.
These are of far more value
indeed
Than all the gold:or jewels
'Than Mother Earth could ever
yield •
To us, greedy thoughtless fools!
So 'if you ever go. to the rain-

PIMPORTANT
DIAMONDH:
PROPERTIES
The physical properties ,of
diamond are certainly tire
most • remarkable among
gemstones; in fact the most
unusual in all the mineral
kingdom. Although diamond is
composed entirely of carbon
(one of the lightest elements)
its density is relatively high. It
is by far, the hardest' known'
natural substance,
remarkable clarity (purity)
and great ability to'reflect,
.and break up white light into
colours. It is the strong atomic
structure, of the carbon
'atoms, that are responsible
for diamonds' unique
properties. Diamond has lack
of affinity for water. The only
thing that • will adhere to
diamond are greasy sub-
stances such as greasy water.
If a crystalline material
breaks or splits along•plane
(flat) surfaces, it is said to
possess cleavage.. Within the
orderly arrangement of
.atoms, of a diamond crystal,
there are certain directions of
cleavage. It is this property
that . sometimes. leads to
damage of a diamond. Prior to
the discovery of the saw,
cleaving was used in the
fashioning of rough diamond
crystals.
A fracture is a breakage of a
mineral along .,. any _ direction,,.,
other than' a Cleavage plane..
(an irregular break). This is
often seen, when a diamond
has a very thin girdle (edge)
that has been chipped°, as a
result from a blow, Toughness
refers to the ease with which a
break of any kind may be
pro4uced in a substance. Even
tlldugh diamond, possesses
cleavage, it is exceptionally
tough. HARDNESS is the
resistance that. a smooth
surface offers to scratching
an4 related• to the crystal
str�'re. Hardness may vary
in direction, and this enables
the diamond cutter to polish or
grind diamond with diamond:
Diamond is the hardest
natural substance and con-
trary to reports, diamond is
actually, many times harder
than its nearest neighbor,
corundum (ruby or ,sapphire)
(as • much as 140 'times har-
der).
Colour, luster, brilliance,
fire (dispersion), and scin-
tillation are optical properties
that give diamond its ex-
ceptional and unique beauty,
and each one is related to
light. It is because, of
'diamond's physical charac-
teristics that give its o!tical
phenomena. Its ability %o bend
(refract) light st • �y and
high dispersion, resulting in
spectral colours,. along with a
very high degree of tran-
sparency. The luster of a fine
polish results from diamon"'s
hardness'an'd gives rise to the .
Adamantine luster and
beauty, duplicated in ho other
mpterial. Due to the high
luster possible and the other
optical properties, diamond is
the most brilliant gem. Tne
sparkle, or the flashes of light,
4irem facets of a diamond is
known as scintillation, All the
unique physical and optical
properties, of diamond are
responsible for its beauty,
which MUST be brought out
by the diatpond cutter, to the
fullest.- —

THE ARTIST'S
COLORS
Abcive the crest of the distant
hills "
Around the setting sun
Lie colors that fill the autumn
sky
And into each the other runs.
Vivid purple, scarlet red
Orange and yellow too
It's God at work with his
magical paints
Creating a splendid view.
Delicately He interweaves
The colors with marvellous
skill \—
Creating a picture' bursting
with flame
In the dusk of an evening, still.
With a swish of his brush across
the sky
He paints it with colors gay
Then swiftly and silently folds
up his art
To pave for another day.

A millionaire was wandering
through some hills where oil
had been found. He had heard
.this and had thought that
maybe he too could find some.
4.W�As he -was °walking''aroun &he—
noticed ebroken down shack'
and wanting nothing. to do with,
the owner which he knew would
be a hill • illy turned the other
way.
. As he was doing so a frightful
figure appeared. It was a man
with a long white beard, bushy
eyebrows and wearing old torn
clothes.
"Howdy,". -- the „hillbilly
emarked when he saw such
•
ef
well dressed, ..man standing,
there.
The millionaire', much.
disgusted on seeing such a
man, responded, - "Itis an
honour to meet',''
"Such a delightful person,"
the hillbilly mimicked.
"Creature," the millionaire
muttered. under his breath.
"Wat 'dya whant?" insisted
the stranger..
"I have most recently been
informed," he continued, "that
a very resourceful mineral
called , oil has been found in
these regions."
"Wat dya'saye?"
"That I have most recently
been informed,"
"Niver mine, lfe ya'r looking
fur a meeneal called oil ya'r
ain't gonna find it around
heer," he explained.
...`.`Whgy not?"The millionaire
was puzzled, "I, have recently.
learned that vast amounts have
been' found in these parts!"
The millionaire suddenly
spotted something black
leaking from the side of aarusty
barrel standing clumsily beside
the house'f' He lett the moun-
taineer and went a 'd examined
it closely. He found it to be OIL.
Quite annoyed with the
hillbilly he bellowed, "You are
the greatest liar that: 1,...have
ever seep in my entire life!"
,Not welcoming such an ac-
cusation the niountaineer
inquired, "Whays thate?"
"Because that," he snapped,
"is oil."
"Wha hate ain't oil''
persisted. "That's ,theer is
hate we heer cal black gold.
The .millionaire couldn't

in the face, stamped away.- ,
When the hillbilly's wife later
came out to find out what had
happened he merely answered,
"Marybelle, I don't think that
other city slicker was 'right
When hesayed thate ya couldn't
outdo another city slicker,."
