Harry Winston, the owner of
the world’s largest blue diamond,
has decided to give it as an out
right gift to Uncle Sam. Even
though it is only the size of a 50
cent piece, it is insured at two
million dollars. The early history
of this rare gem was associated
with trouble. It adorned the fore
head of a Hindu idol in India
when the French explorer Taver
nier in 1603 took it away. En
route to Paris he was attacked
by a pack of dogs and bitten to
death. Both Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette, who later had this
diamond, also met with tragic
ends.
What a priceless gem the Chris
tian does have. It does not com
pare with the gems of this world,
and it is one which always re
sults in blessing to its owner.
“A gift is as a precious stone
in the eyes of him that hath it:
whithersoever it turneth, it pros
pereth.” . . . Proverbs 17:8. This
great gift which everyone is of
fered by the Lord is Eternal Life.

WHITE 18 THE FASHION —
white Dacron blouses, white nylon
underwear — white cotton sports
dresses ... so fresh and lovely
when new . . . but how to keep
them that way. It's really not
a problem if you launder them cor
rectly the first time and every
time. Whether I launder them by
hand or in a machine, I combine
a heavy-duty detergent and chlo
rine bieacb beads.
No one product will do, but safe
action bleach beads, when used
with detergent, will actually re
move every trace of soil so that
neither cotton, or synthetic fibers
will turn gray or dingy.

IT'S THE LITTLE JOBS that arc
the most bothersome. I find thi."
particularly true in the kitchen
where small amounts of food must
be placed in containers, bowls
must be covered and small food
items given protection
But now, I find, there is a new
7-inch-wide aluminum foil on the
market, called Handy Reynolds
Wrap, that does all these little
things easily and economically. No
need to tear it to a smaller width
for neatly wrapping sandwiches. It
even wraps around flower pots,
leaving the bottom open for good
drainage. S'wonderful!

Sen. Gruening Proposes
Prior Oil-Gas Rights Be
Granted Homesteaders
WASHINGTON, <** — Sen. Er
nest Gruening today proposed
legislation to grant oil and gas
rights to Alaska homesteaders
who occupied their land prior to
the Kenai oil strike.
His bill would, in effect, cancel
the government’s requirement that
homesteaders on lands classified
as potentially valuable for oil and
gas sign a waiver reserving rights
in such minerals to the govern
ment before receiving title to the
land.
Gruening's bill would be appli
cable not only to the Kenai Pen
insula, but to homesteads upon
which valid entry was made any
where in Alaska as of July 23,
1957 — the date of the Kenai
strike.
It was discovery of oil on the
Kenai Peninsula by the Richfield
Oil Co. which prompted the Bur
eau of Land Management to class
ify lands throughout most of Alas
ka as potentially oil-bearing.
Under terms of a 1922 law this
classification would require the
waiver which Gruening’s bill
would eliminate.
The waiver requirement brought
protests from numei .us home
steaders in Alaska who had en
tered upon their land prior to the
time waivers of oil and gas rights
were required; but were later told
they would have to sign such a
waiver before obtaining title.

Of First Calif. Gold Strike
HOLLYWOOD, Uf) — The site
of California’s first recorded gold

a little gold in these parts himself.
Disney Productions announced

1842.
Disney will use the site as a
movie location and a ranch for
polo ponies and thoroughbreds.
Men, like tacks, are useful iff
they have good heads and are
