“Diamonds are a good invest-; the United States. We have no

For many years he was associated with Harry Winston, one of the best known names in the diamond world. “But if you buy a diamond for a thousand dollars and in 10 years you need the money and you want to sell it, you may net get $1,000 back nor $800 back,” Bennett continued, “but you’ll at least get $500 back. “What furniture In your home do you have that in 10 years you can get back half of what you paid for it A diamond ia the only piece of merchandise in the merchandising field that has an instrinslc value any place in the world.” In buying Jewels he advises finding a jeweler you trust ‘You must have tremendous confidence in the jeweler. Unless you do, don’t go to him,” he said. “Quality is the one thing that a layman can’t see. Only a Jeweler can.” This inability to recognize quality was illustrated by a

hidden taxes such as France, Italy and England. You get better quality in America, which has become the diamond cutting center at the world.” What should a customer look for in buying a diamond? “The most Important thing is color,” Bennett said. The most valued diamonds in America are those which are virtually

colorless.

In America, It Is difficult to sell off color or yellow tinted

“Next comes cut.” Is it cut properly with the right number of facets for the maximum ampunt of brilliance.

Oldest Store Holds The Past ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. UPI —It used to be known as the C. F. Hamblen Store. Now it’s simply known as the Oldest Store Museum. Nothing new is ever added to its stock. So it’s not much on merchandising, not when compared to the slick selling of today's supermarkets. But that’s the way they want it and thousands visit the general store at No. 4 Artillery Lane each year — the oldest store in America’s oldest city. Nostalgia, pure and simple, is the secret of the museum’s success. And to keep it that way, the curator combs the countryside for the oldest goods he can find and adds them proudly to the shelves. Visitors feel they are taking a trip to yesteryear when they go through the door to view the antique merchandise and quaint old fixtures. Originally a grocery store, the business evolved into a general store and then into a hardware store. The nucleus of the museum’s display actually was taken from the store’s attic. Out-of-date and discarded items that had been pushed back and stored for generations, many never taken from their shipping crates, found new prominence on display shelves. Among the wares: ladies’ hightopped shoes fashionable in the late 1880s; old linen dusters, left from the horseless carriage era; wicker perambulators, apple peelers, wooden washing machines; tins for the earliest methods of home canning and old farm equipment. The Oldest Store is a living exhibit of the general stores of the gay 90’s. There’s a storekeeper dressed in period costume, wearing arm garters yet The museum captures all the folksy atmosphere that made the general store a beloved bit of America — checker players around a pot-bellied stove, sawdust on the floor, cracker and pickle barrels, even a lazy cat

WOMEN TREK BACK TO SCHOOL EAST LANSING, Mich. UPI — Most women who return to college later in life are glad they did, but the road is not an easy one, a study finds. A report released at Michigan State University showed that 90 per cent of all such women, contacted at 12 colleges across the country, said they would recommend the same route to other women. But more than half of them warned that the returning student must have good health, emotional stability, the cooperation of her family and a lot of planning to stand the physical and emotional demands of the new situation.

ON THE FARM FRONT By Bernard Brenner

WASHINGTON UPI — A former U. S. foreign aid official !• calling on the government to create a “center for rural development” to train foreign students for front-line duty In a world war against hunger. Hie proposed center would provide practical, on-the-job training in farming skills needed to boost food production in the developing nations at Asia, Africa and Latin America. “It would be a basic training center for the sergeants and junior-grade field officials who will be leading the attack in the war on hunger . . , The foreign trainee would learn basic skills which specifically relate to the most immediate agricultural and rural leadership needs of his own country,” said David Dichtor, author of the proposal. Dichtor, who has served with the Agency for International Development and other government agencies, now is an educational consultant for Garvey Grain, Wichita, Kansas. His proposal was printed in the current issue of “Grange," a magazine published by the National Grange. A grange official called the plan, “one of the best ideas we’ve seen.” Dichtor said that in contrast to most training programs previously offered here for foreign students, his plan would emphasize “a respect for manual labor.” At the proposed new center, he said, students would leara-by-doing in fields ranging from tractor repair to operation of rural cooperatives, tractor loan centers, and youth club operations. An allied idea, the export of the U. S. county extension agent system, already has substantial backing among many government and congressional leaden. The National Grange said today that expanding government agencies and industrial plants should channel their growth into some 1,500 small college towns in rural areas. These towns, the Grange said, could become "springboards for the revitalization of rural America.”
