Gemstone of Royalty
Also Birthstone of May
SAY IT
WITH
TREES
The birthstone of May derived its
name from the Greek word for "green
stone." And green it is; its color so
incomparable that "emerald green"
best describes this transparent
stone, often colored with internal jar-
dins.
In medieval times people believed
that in the clear depth of emerald, the
key to happiness and love could be
found. They believed it brought
safety to somen in childbirth. In the
lore of Biblical times, the Emerald
symbolizes kindness. Cleopatra
wore emeralds on her crown. And
there were emeralds on the Russian
Crown Jewels.
k- variety of the mineral Beryl,
Emerald is distinguished mainly by its
color. Its value is determined by
color, flawlessness, and by size. The
most desired color is the emerald
green, which is more valuable, even
with inclusions, than a pale and clean
quality stone ..
Come and see our beautiful collec-
tion of emerald jewelry. It's on sale for
20% less our already low prices
through the month of May.

Inflation Hedge?
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
newspaper Yediot Ahronot
reports that the U.S. dollar
rose in value against the Is-
raeli shekel last year by 114
percent. Israel's inflation
rate, however, was 132 per-
cent.
Lebanon's currency rose
in value 158 percent, doing
better against the shekel
than any other currency.
Sometimes, if you're old
and alone, it's nice to know
that someone will drop by
during the day to check up
on you, chat a little and
leave some meals to see you
through the day.
Easing loneliness is one
goal of the Meals on
Wheels program, sponsored
by the Jewish Family Serv-
ice and the National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women.
