L HeLefe es (Continued from page 1) weapons to purchase for 13 new officers who will soon finish their training at the Ontario Police College, as well as, the costs involved including firearms retraining if necessary. Police services board member Paul LaFleur said the purchase of more expensive new weapons need not involve the entire police force at once. "We‘ve hired new officers; we could give the speciality officers the new firearms and the new officers would get the used revolvers." The administrator of the association, Paul LaCourse, said his officers want to see the revolvers replaced. "The 9â€"millimetre is more than adequate for what‘s needed on the street." Police seek more firepower Fun... will run from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. at St. Jude‘s Anglican Church, 160 William St., Oakville. The cost is $10.

Lab grown gems are here to stay, and the reason why? is because they offer the consumer that irresistible combination of high quality and low price. For all of recorded history man has been trying to duplicate nature in creating gems, but it wasn‘t until Carroll Chatham synthesized emeralds from solution in 1938 that Labâ€" created. gems.. became contenders for volume use in better quality jewellery. REAL JEWELS The Labâ€"grown gem materials I‘m referring to are those which essentially duplicate the chemical, physical and optical properties of their counterparts occurring in nature. These are not imitations or simulants, nor man made gems such as Cubic Zirconia and Yag which have no naturally occurring twin. They are gems which used to be called "synthetics", simply because they are. synthesized versions of natural material. NO FAKES, THESE BEAUTIES Pfi // Even today, too many jewelers and consumers till think the word "synthetic‘ implies "fake," despite the fact that created gems have been taking their place as affordable duplicates of natural gems for over 50 years. Lab grown emeralds have made the biggest progress into the market thanks to active marketing combined with the growing scarcity of beautiful natural emerald inâ€" saturated colours. High quality control and the ability to duplicate specific emerald colours has made created emeralds a viable alternative for consumers. SS SS SS SPc ce in EMERALD TAKES THE LEAD Since most lab grown emerald is less included than natural, and does not need oiling or filling to disguise cracks or fractures, it is far less likely to crack under setting processes, or to lose colour when cleaned. Colours generally duplicate those of medium to top grade natural emeralds. _ ADVERTISEMENT Why buy direct when you can have it made to measure? * Suits e Dress Pants * Blazers e Sport Coats Che Gentlemen‘s Chanice THE TAILORS TOUCH Now $395.00 116 Kerr St., Oakville 844â€"2373 Formal Rentals for all occasions Tuxedos on Sale Reg. $850.00. Corundums were the next major gem materials to be synthesized, although their _ natural counterparts do not present as many problems in setting and mounting, â€"or need ‘for enhancements, as do natural emeralds. Many gem quality natural corundums are heat treated, but the colour produced is stable, far more stable than fracture filled_ emerald treatments. Many new sources of natural corundums have been found worldwide recently. New methods of producing deeper blues in light coloured sapphire by heat treating and diffusion have under cut economic demand for expensive labâ€" grown sapphires. The minor differences between Lab synthesis and natural growth are what allow gemologists to separate natural from Lab grown stones. In most cases, there are only minuscule deviations from the natural materials, so most Labâ€"growns can be difficult to identify without gemological equipment and expertise. Most of the Labâ€"grown emeralds have a slightly lower refractive index than naturals, which would require a refractometer and a very good eye to ascertain. Labâ€"grown gems reflect the same chemical, physical, and optical properties of their natural cousins and as a result are NO FAKES, these beauties. IDENTIFYING LAB GROWNS
