This, apparently, is Women's
Liberation Year, ,or something
of the sort. So be it.
Aren't you getting a little sick
of it all? I mean you, and,I don't
care whether you're a man or a
woman or a hermaphrodite.
Don't worry chaps; •I am not-
afraid. I have a northern
hideout, an old atOm b9mb
shelter, with three women laid
on: one to bathe Me, One to
dress me, and one to cook for
me. So I'm going to say exactly
what I want to, and let the
chippies fall where they may.
First, I take a look at my own
family, to see which women
need liberating. Answer? Zero.
My wife needs liberating like
I need a kick in the groin. Ever
since I met her, she has been,
not removing' her chains, but
applying mine.. I clank when I
walk.
She doesn't need- to be
liberated. She needs to be tied
up. She has made it quite clear
that she is: smarter than I
about everything from making
out the income 'tax return to
screwingin a light bulb; better
looking than 1 (and all we have
to do is look in a mirror); more
artistic than 1 .(she's always
frigging with. the color thing on
the television while I bellow 'I
don't care if it's all purple, shut
up and watch the program');
and in better shape than I. I
always concede the last-named
without a fight. I invariably
say, "Boy, I could never scrub
the kitchen in half an hour, like-
---7=yoth.---1) ear. . -woldprbably •
take me half the afternoon."
And I'm right. So there's no
conflict of interest there.
She also has a joint account,
the house is in her name, the
car is in her name, and if.I
dropped dead tomorrow, she'd
have so much insurance she
could give Jackie Onassis a run
for her money, Liberation my

DIAMOND
CLARITY
The degree to .which
diamond is free from in
clusions and blemishes has a
material effect on the stones
value in the present market.
Because nature is rarely
perfect, most diamonds show
• inclusions, to some degree. A
flawless diarond„ wit:V no
inclusions or blemishes is vety
rare.
A diamond does not have to
be flawless, to be beautiful. In
fact, unless the inclusions are
noticeable to the naked eye, or
a great number of inclusions
are present, the effect on
beauty is immeasurible.
However each degree of
diamond clarity, has a definite
effect on its value.
External features are called
blemishes and internal
features are called inclusions.
Under blemishes, minor
surface c.hips, scratches,
naturals an4 extra facets are
the rnost common. Included
crystals, pinpoint inclusions,,
feathers, comprise for the
most .part the common in-
clusions. , The number, size '
and location of any blemish or
inclusiondetermines a
diamonds clarity grade. ,
A standard of ten
magnifications is used for
diamond clarity grading,
along with proper lighting
conditions zinc! training. . A
diamond' can not be called
flawless unless it is free from
blemishes and inclusion,
• when examined under prolitr
magnification and lighting, byl
a trained eye. Diamonds in the
VVSgrades contain inclusibns
or blemishes so small and
'insignificant that they are
very difficult to locate under
ten power. When ^they are
larger and more noticeable it
plAqes the diamond in the ,VS ,
and SI grades. Stones with
inclusions that can be seen
With the naked eye are placed
in the imperfect grades. In all,
diamonds are graded into
approximately nine clarity
grads.
Beauty is the most im-
portant factor of value of any
gem, Rarity is also important.
However flawless diamonds
are very rare. The effect of
very minor inclusions or
blemishes, under this fine and
exact grading system, on
beauty is infinitesimal. Many,
people never buy anything but
the finest, regardless of price.
However, a diamond of a little
lower clarity grade may give
more satisfaction to a
customer, for his dollar, than
a qawless stone, if the nature
of the internal and external
characteristics' are carefully
explained and rcorded, and
the manner it1 which they
affect quality and value.

My daughter is in the same
boat, or category. She alter-
nately bulliesoid wheedles her
father and her husbnd. She
takes nothin' Offa nobody,
especially male cops. She is in a
career course, end she is using,
or kicking out of the way, every
male who stands in her path.
With one exception, She is
being used and p.ushed around
by the only male who could do
it, her year-old, walking son.,
Pokey. And there is the only
hope I see for the future of the
male.
Looking further afield, I
remember two dames who
were so liberated you wondered
who was wearing the pants in
the family, in both cases.
One was my mother. She
called the shots in our family
from the tirne she put on her
wedding ring. She decided
which of the kids would be.
licked, and she did the licking.
She decided what speed mydad
should drive at. She pulled us
through the Depression. My
dad was a sweet, gentle chap,
like myself and always sat in
the rumble seat on each' new
family enterprise:
My mother-in-law was • the
same. With a combination of
tempers, tirades and tears, she
made my father-in-law walk on
eggs until he didn't feel com-
fortabfe unless he had an egg
underfoot.
Ditto with my sisters and
sisters-in-law. They bully and
needle and hAggle their men
---un me reitul r-Theycontinua
make them feel that they (the
women) had poor luck in ,the
draw, and make veiled' and
usually imaginery references
to the great chances they had to
marry someone worthwhile,
who turned out to be somebody.
And this phenomenon is not
something new, something of
the 20th century. Queen.
Boadicea, if anyone remem-
bers her, had a great time
smashing up Roman- legions
until she died of an -overdose of
Woad.
Lady Macbeth was • no
shrinking; unliberated violet.
She was more of a shrieking,
liberated -violent. .
Queen Elizabeth I diddld her
would-be lovers for years and
ran a growing empire with a
velvet glove in an iroraist.
Madame de Pompadour
literally ran the French empire
in the days of the 15th 1..puis,
and she wasn't even married.
Nobody is weeping over
Jackie what -ever, who boisinced
from a U.S. president to a
Greek billionaire. No " are
many tears shed over the way
poor little helpless Liz Taylor
has been mistreated by five or
six or seven husbands.
Of course, all these women
had charm, and driye, t,r both,

cerned about the cost of

Women's Lib is going to hit me
with, among other things.

lot of women teachers' You.
think they need liberation?
Like hell. They smoke and
drink and swear like sailors
and swagger around in com-
fortable pant suits while the
men strangle in shirts and ties.
And the real clincher is that
they make as much money as
men, and frequently more. Top
administrative jobs are open to
them. They don't want them.
- Why? Not because they can't
handle them. Most .of them
' would do a better job than!thb
dim-witted males who pow
inhabit these posts. No,
because they don't want to give
up their feminine perks:
staying home for two days with
a sniffle; shooting off to the
hair -dresser once a week;
breaking into tears . when
everything becomes Too -Much
For Me.
I have alays treated a
woman' as a woman first arid a
person second. I have used the
same treatment with old men
and littleicids.
If I have to start treating
woman as people first and
women second, I know who is
going to complain the loudest.
The women. And the second
loudestcomPlaint will be from
yours truly. It will destroy all
the mystery and glamor and
exciterpent which are the only
things that make fife wor
thwhile.
Men, rally around. For years,
both sexes havebeen equal, but
women have been more equal
than men. Now, all they want to
do is widen the gap.
