TUESDAY INSTEAD) Bowmanville Town Hall -I 'i Lions Club (Continued froni page one) reduce the value of existing diamonds but also ruin the thousands of people now eni- ployed in the mining and cutting of diamonds. "It is difficult to understand", stated Mr. Marr, '"why anyone sbould strive to pro- duce sometbing wbich would be devoid o! value because of the, !act that it could be so produced. For this reason there is little need to fear that the great diamond industry of Amsterdam is i any danger from artificial diamonds." Mr. Marr told another inter- esting story of the discovery of the diamond in South Africa. A child o! one of the poor farmers near Hope Town on the banks of the Orange. River, had brougbt a shiny bright pebble home, and there it rested for two years as a doorstop. A neigh- bor offered to buy the stone but the farmer's wife laughingly gave it to him. This pebble turned out to be worth $40,000. Demand Greatly Increased The demand for diamonds has grown during the last 60 years, during wbich time the number of diamond cutters has increased froni 1,500 to 30,000. "The most obvious explanation for this de- mand seems to lie in the ever- încreasing desire of our ladies to adorn themselves with diamonds and we, the poor sentimental men, buying tbem, and thus sat- isfying their ego," the speaker declared. Two far more important f ac- tors wbicb make tbe diamond valuable are that it is a safe in- vestment and saleable at any time, and the second is that a diamond is often a famnily heir- loom. Seventy-five per cent of the diamonds mined today are used for industnial purposes, part- ticularly in factories where the cutting of metal is essential. The diamonds used in industry are not of jgem stone calibre. Superstition woven around the diamond is another fascinat- ing sideligbt. If a person dreams of diamonds, stated Mr. Marr, bis dreamn book says that be will have wealtb and happiness. In ancient timeg the diamond was ascribed the power of bicncg man and woman in happy wed- lock. In closîng, Mr. Marr related the story of laow the wonld famous Cullinan Diaincind was found and the difficultY in cut- tîng this crystal which weighed 3,024 carats, or three times the size of any diamond that has ever been found. Th~e final chapter in the tale of the Cullinan Diamond is yet to be written, said the speaker. since gemologists believe that the Cullinan Diamond showed numerous cleavages on its sur- face. They think#' that 2,000 carats or more had broken off the original stone, aad that somewbere in the blue day it bas a mate. Mr. Marr was introduced bY Lion President Wally Braden and thanked by Lion Roy Top- ping for bis intriguing talk on diamonds. Carl Leslie Joins Club A new menýber in the person of Carl Leslie was officially in- ducted into the Bowmanville Lions Club during tbe meeting by the membership committee under the direction of Lion Andy Thonîpson. The new candidate was sponsored by Lion Joe Coop- er and escorted by Lion Aubre.e .Smith. Lion Jim Marr outlined the code of ethics and President Wally Braden explained the ob- jccts of the club to the newv member. Lion Bob Kent pre- sented him with his lapel button. dinner badge and certificate. After the ceremony each of the Lions came to personally wel- corne Lion Carl. A Lion boost w.ý6 given to Lion Dr. Harold Ferguson who bas given manY years of com- munity service wvith the Lions and bas also been active in the Jerusalem Lodge and the Pales- tine Lodge. Lion Harold is a graduate of the University of Toronto Medical School and practiced in Enniskillen before moving to Bowmanville. A bus load of Bowmanville Lions attended the Past Pres- idents' oyster stag dinner in Pet- erborough a week ago last Mon- day. This special dinner was one o! the best and ail the local Lions thorougbly enjoyed them- se]lves. 1 a =. i YËMMDAT, rM. I@th, 1958 ý 1 TEE CANADIAN qTATP!CMAlq n'PMÀIT#Te-t qskdqlp 9
