Kimberley Anniversary Honors the First Diamond Find
Kimberley marks the sixtieth anniversary of the discovery of the first diamond in South Africa. Erasmus Jacobs, a boy at Hope Town, found the stone in 1968 and it was sold to Sir Philip Wodehouse for £500, aiding the Paris Exhibition. The story notes Jacobs’ poverty despite the landmark find and recounts the anniversary pageant in Kimberley with a city-backed fund now open.

Care For 4 Car When The Y Needa A Bath
Service manager Don Streeter of Reo Motor Car Company advises regular washing to protect finishes. Use water first to flush dirt, then a sponge with water, avoid hot water, dry with a soft cloth, and apply body polish. For spots use rancid butter or varnish, oil with linseed oil, and keep nickel bright with an oily rag. New cars need extra care as finishes are prone to damage before seasoning.
