Ago Khan Will
Be On Scales
London. —The Aga Khan, head of
millions of Indian Moslems, is to be
weighed in diamonds on two occa
sions in India next year. The cere
monies for Aga Khan, whose weight
is speculated at 245 pounds, will
mark his diamond Jubilee as leader
of the Moslem community at Ismali-
Kho.ia.
Aga Khan's value in diamonds
will be approximately $1.600,0000.
The sum represents the Indian's in
creased value since he was weighed
in gold at the time of his golden
jubilee to the tune of merely SBO,OOO.
The weighing ceremony, which is
. designed for charitable purposes,
will bring more than 500,000 carats
of rough diamonds on loan from
London diamond interests. The use
of actual diamonds is to determine
the actual value of- funds the Aga
Khan will distribute to his followers
in India and East Africa for social

Kyanite, Rare
Mineral, Found
In Person Area
Stall' Colleire Official Lists
Person As Place For
Deposits.
Bv Dr. A. F. Greaves-'Walker
Raleigh.—Among the minerals oc
curring in North Carolina in com
mercial quantities which are com
mon to only a few states in the
country are kyanite, talc, and o.vro
phyllhe. These minerals have been
mined in the State lor many years
past, and some manufactured pro
ducts have been produced from talc
and pyrophyltite.
Because commercial deposits of
kyanite and pyrophyllite are rare,
they have offered opportunities ii:
manufacturing fields in which a
minimum amount of competition
could be expected from other states
They present another example of
shipping expendable minerals, at a
very small profit, into other states
for manufacture into products on
which the profits have been large,
especially during the war demand.
All three minerals had a promin
ent place in the war effort. The sup
ply was seldom, if ever, equal'to the
demand, end at times the supply sit
uation was extremely critical.
This mineral is a silicate of al
umina. Tlie deposits are quite wide
ly dispersed in North Carolina and
.occur in Clay. Macon, Jackson.
Rutherford, Buncombe, McDowell.
Yancey, Mitchell. Avery, Ashe, Hay
wood, Randolph, Person* Franklin,
and Johnston counties.
The most important deposits are
found in an area 6 to 8 miles wide
and approximately 175 miles Ion,;
which extends from the vicinity of
Burnsville, Yancey County, to Swan
nanca. Buncombe County. This area
' follows the general line of the Black
and Great Craggy Mountains.
In some parts of the area the min
eral is found in massive deposits, but
it usually occurs as crystals dis
! simulated in schists. The latter type
,of deposit best lends itself to low
cost mining and concentration meth
ods. Using the latest flotation pro
cesses, a product of 95 per cent pur
ity is obtainable.
Kyanite is used in the manuiact-

out in the Pacific fighting the Japs to beat the band he would get
a copy of the Courier-Times every hoW and then. Whenever he
get one he would show it to all of his friends and brag about the
paper, telling them what a good paper it was. He also told them
that he was sure that when lie got HjJttle that we would carry a big
write-up of his coming on the front page and he would send them
a copy.
Then he came home—and here’s what he told me, "I watched
the Courier-Times each issue to see when my write-up was coming
out. I knew that I had won the war,,single handed and that in a
short time the paper would really spread Jt.pu for me. Issue after
issue passed and no mention of Edtfaf Mksten's arrival. I suffered
quietly knowing that it was bound •to come but It never did.- My

The AAA chairman said approx
imately 2500 farmers are eligible to
cast ballots in Community Elec
tions. This number includes all
farmers who are cooperating in the
Agricultural Conservation or Crop
Insurance Programs.
Discussing the role of Community
Committeemen it was [jointed out
that soil and water conservation
will continue to loom large among
AAA program objectives. Under tlie
1946 ACP Program, funds will no
allocated to each county, and the
committeemen will have more re
sponsibility in helping their neigh
bors to round cut soil-building plans
for individual farms within the
scope of approved practices. This
is only one of the programs for
which committeemen have a great
responsibility.
