DIPLOMA The following is taken from "Eaton's Store News." "Mr, Murray S. .Savauge, diamond buyer for our Jewel Shop, recently received his diploma as a "Registered Jeweller" from the A'mer'ican Gem Society, This is an important distinction and honour- in the jewellery 'busk ness. All over this continent there are only about six hundred' who are authorized "R.J,'s". Mr. ,Savauge who had his first training as a youth in his father's jewellery store in Seaforth, has been with our jewel- lery Department for ten years and our diamond buyer for a year. This title of "Registered Jeweller" is not easily. won. First, the Ameri- can Gem Society will admit only those with firms whose ethical prac- tices are approved by regional and international admission boards of their society. Then, only those who have completed a stated scientific study of :gems, precious metals and jewellery or have passed equivalent examinations, can become "Regis- tered Jewellers" (R.J,). So it's hats off to Mr. Savauge for having passed the tests, (He says his new title and another title, of "Dad" to a baby daughter arrived about the sane time.)" Three generations of the Savauge family are engaged in the jewellery business, since, Mr. Ronald Savauge, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Savauge, and grandson of Mr, and Mrs. Fred S. Savauge, is now learning diamond matting in Tbronto.

From the training schools of Canada, flowed the men to her de- fence; But "attack" was soon the watchword, then the foe was fearful and tense. In • the stream of young men embarking for embattled Bri- tain's shores, was our brave LAC Adams to do his bit in the air force. The charming girls of England, ral- lied to their Union Jack, and while in their country's service cupid tricked with a smack. Predestination played the part when Kelso -met his Molly, at Newcastle on the Tyne, they fell in love, by golly! Then followed soon the bridal veil, to Lo hengrin's raptuous music, and on that eventful day became Mr. and Mrs. Adams. After months of weary waiting, with the Atlantic tub be- tween, Molly joined her well loved husband, here at Constance on the green. Just to crown this romantic feature, friends and neighbor's have come tonight to wish them long-lived happiness, with these gifts to make things right."
