Landsberger Speaks
Before Junior
Woman's Club
The North Wilke^boro Junior
Woman's Club held lt8 regular
monthly meeting Monday evening,
November 17, at the Woman's
Clubhouse, with the president,
Mrs. William Marlow, in
charge of the business session.
The music chairman, Mrs. J.
M. Derr, Jr., gave final plans for
the Vardell-Lerch concert on November
18. Mrs. Edward S. Finley,
entertainment chairman, announced
that the December meeting
would, be a Christmas party,
at which time giits would be exchanged.
between members. Mrs.
L. D. Cooke of the welfare committee
told of three needy families
and it was decided that presents
for these families would also
be brought to the party. She
also stated that the Northwestern
Bank had given $100.00 to the
work of the T. B. Hut. Mrs.
Marlow announced that Mrs. Sam
Vickery is the club's representative
on the City Youth Council.
New members received were Mrs.
Cleo Owens, Miss Pauline Henderson,
and Mrs. Louis Johnson.
At the close of the business
meeting, the program chairman,
Mrs. Paul Harvel, Jr., introduced
Mr. Raymond Landsberger who
spoke on* "Gems and Silver."
An ardent student of gemology,
Mr. Landsberger intrigued his
audience both by giving facts
about stones and by displaying
some of them. There was one
diamond that cost $15,500.00
and one which required 3 1-2
years to cut. There were wedding
rings to demionstrate types of
settings, diamonds to show brilllnace,
a diamond bracelet, a
lovely star sapphire, and fiery
opalB reflecting diamonds surrounding
them.
Diamonds, as nearly as scientists
can determine, are firom 3,000
to 4,000 years old. They
have never been duplicated nor
made commercially. The diamond
syndicate in London sells rough
diamonds and usually keeps the
supply about 30 per cent behind
demand. Value of a diamond depends
on brilliance, cut and lustre.
i
Inasmuch as opals contain
7 to 10 per cent water, they
should (be oiled each month. Synthetic
stores are those which
have chemicals arranged in exactly
the same way as a genuine
stone. Only three can be made
synthetically; rubies, sapphires
and emeralds. Rubies and sapphires
have exactly the same
chemical composition and acquire
their particular color purely by
accident. There are two kinds of
red pearls: oriental, that is,
those made without aid from
man, and cultured pearls.
Mr. LamdBberger spoke on
sterling and silver plate and
recommended that sterling be
used fre<Juepatly, both to give
pleasure to the owner and to increase
its beauty.
Throughout hi8 talk, he stressed
the fact that a person should
buy bath gems and silver from
a reputable dealer in whom he
ham confidence.
At the conclusion of the talk,
refreshments were served to approximately
35 members present
by Misses Nina Call and Treat
Richardson and. Meedames John
Cashion and Neil Qashiom.
