centrallylocated hotel tail with m h b it is always a pleasure to meet distinguished visitors and so we were thrilled on labour day to have a phone call from mrs trygve wold inviting us over for a chat at trygda her love ly maple avenue home purpose of the visit was to meet miss eliza beth jacobs of antwerp belgium who had stopped off with the wolds during a tour of canada and the states we went with crossed fingers expecting to have a diffi cult interview forgetting momen tarily that there are no language barriers with educated europeans for they speak english as well if not better than we do out selves miss jacobs for instance can eonverse fluently in english as well as her native flemish walloon which is the other language in bel gium french and german the lat ter she prefers to

visit to canada in four years and she has seen both our country and the states from coast to roust she is employed like most people in antwerp in the diamond industry something we didnt know is that one doesnt talk about ones position when it comes to diamonds so talk of the trade was limited to encralltics we fiirl lejtin enough to rrili- that diamonds are fascinating not only the end irsulls which one sees in jewellery store windows but from their very origin in the mine fields of south africa and the belgian congo one puzzle which still remains a mystery is where all the diamonds go for over five centu- ies the precious stones have been produced for sale yet the demand continues and as diamonds are not a perishable product one wonders where all the stones are kept by the buyers like the shoemakers children one might guess that dia monds are not as plentiful in llel- gium as they arc in the states and canada apparently our custom of diamond engagement rins is not as well established in europe miss jacobs like other europ eans is aniner at the tremendous space in this county of ours bel gium is the most densely populated country in the world and you do not see the miles of farmland so common to america she was impressed with the friendliness of the people in ontario particularly in toronto where she claimed hotel service was much superior to that n montreal as
