Jeweler McCarty Has Only
Local Master Diamond'Set
By FRANK DAVIS
It has been said that “one dia
mond can’t be told from another.”
To show how wrong one can be,
R. L. McCarthy, owner and man
ager of K. L. McCarty, Jeweler,
Watch Repairing at North Gate
in College Station, will produce
a set of master diamonds.
With attention focused on the
master set, which he says is the
only one in this area, McCarty will
point out the different colors dia
monds display.
With color being one of the three
factors in diamond purchasing, the
set of master diamonds is one of
the guides which McCarty has
available in his store for the se
lection of diamonds.
Other factors to be considered
in buying a diamond are the make
and cut, he says.
McCarty, as the title of his
store might suggest, is a watch
maker by profession, having fin
ished at Bi’adley University, Peor
ia, Ill. in 1945. Bradley University
is one of the oldest watchmaking
institutions in the United Stgtes.
After finishing at Bradley, Mc
Carty was employed in a jewelry
store in Peoria, before coming to
College Station in May of 1947.
One of the first things that
catches the attention of anyone
entering McCarty’s store is a wrist
watch dangling in a fish bowl
located on the back counter. But

before 1 being carried away with
such startling evidence, it should
be remembered that McCarty’s is
primarily a jewelry store—not an
aquarium.
He carries a complete line of
lady’s and men’s jewelry, Hamil
ton and Elgin watches, Swiss
watches—the latest in shockproof
and waterproof, and a complete
stock of loose diamonds.
An important aspect of the store
is the watch repairing department.
Consisting of all modern equip
ment which has been placed in the
last three years, the department
has the means wherein to repair
any make of American or Swiss
watch.
Strange-Looking Medicine
Anyone looking over the repair
department can hardly help letting
their wandering eyes come to rest
on a strange looking machine
which McCarty explains is used
for testing watches in all of five
positions.
The uninitiate can only nod and
move on to the next apparatus
which is used for cleaning watch
parts. When the trays are removed
from the machine they reveal many
minute parts.
Next step will be a cabinet
where pai'ts for all makes of Swiss
and American watches are kept.
If you are innocent enough to ask
what they all are, the outcome will,
probably be a hasty retreat back to
the fish bowl. Here you will dis
cover that the watch isn’t intended
to amuse the goldfish, but is placed
there to prove the qualities of the
Wyler waterproof, shockproof
wrist watch.
Machine and Hand Engraving
Both machine and hand engrav
ing are carried on at McCarty’s.
Mrs. McCarty, who helps her hus
band in the store, does the mach
ine engraving which can put let
ters on aything that can be placed
in the machine—watches, com
pacts, fountain pens, and cigarette
lighters—to name a few.
After a tour through McCarthy’s
jewelry store you can’t help but
feel, upon leaving the air con
ditioned store, that you will be
back—maybe not for diamonds—•
but at least for a watch that needs
repairing.
Franke to Discuss
German Farming
The comeback of German agri
culture, will be one of the sub
jects discussed at the Texas Writ
ers’ Conference to be held at A&M
October 13-14.
Louis T. Franke, who has just
returned from a two-month tour
of Germany where he inspected
the agricultural problem and pro
gress in that country, will be the
speaker. Franke is editor of the
Extension Service at A&M.
Thompsons Vacationing
John G. Thompson, associate pro
fessor of Mechanical Engineering,
and family are now vacationing in
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
They are visiting Mr. Thompson’s
father and Mrs. Thompson’s rela
tives.
R. L. McCarty, a watchmaker by profession, focuses his attention
on another repair job as his wife looks on. McCarty’s Jewelry
store also carries a complete line of ladie’s and men’s jewelry and
a complete stock of loose diamonds. Mrs. McCarty, who helps
her husband in the store, does the machine engraving which can
put letters on most anything.
Southern Koreans
Fight Private War
By STAN SWINTON
With South Korean Marines on
the Southwest front, Aug. 24—
•A 5 )—South Korea’s year-old Mar
ine Corps is kicking the Commun
ists around in a private war of
its own on this forgotten front.
They forgot to tell the high com
mand they were starting it, but
that’s all fixed up now. They fixed
it up by killing so many North Ko
reans the high command took no
tice.
Inspired by the fame of U. S.
Leathernecks, the cocky South Ko
rean youngsters trained by running
up and down mountains armed
with bamboo spears.
The South Korean Marines
fought two mainland battles and
then with a raggle-taggle bunch
of U. S., Japanese and captured
Russian arms, they clambered into
little coastal launches.
Hit Tongyong Peninsula
Four days ago they assaulted the
Tongyong peninsula to the south
of the American’s southwest flank
in an area swarming with Com
munists who had infiltrated behind
the lines.
The next day hardboiled, 27-year-
old Capt. Kim Sung Un broke the
news of his assault with a message.
The message: His Marines had
killed 350 Communists, almost wip
ing out the first battalion of the
33rd Regiment of the North Ko
rean Seventh Division. The Red
regimental commander had to dress
up as a farmer and ignominously

The infant Marine Corps also
took 44 prisoners of war, includ
ing two officers. Captured material
included: a 122 mm cannon, two
howitzers, 12 trucks and Russian-
made jeeps, 15 light machineguns,
19 heavy machineguns, 29 tommy
guns, 1,300 grenades, 103 rifles and
two pistols.
Set up New Front
In fact, Captain Kim reported
they had so much equipment now
they decided they might just as
well set up a new front. So the
South Korean Marines held the
narrow neck of the peninsula
against enemy reinforcements rush
ed south from Kosong.
The South Koreans have two
rules:
1. Fight with bayonets when you
car>.
2. Never shout at anyone until
you can see his face.
Yesterday the North Koreans
threw a counterattack against
them. The Marines acted like
American Leathernecks—they went
in and dug the Reds out.
Look at them and its hard to
tell how they fight. Each rifle
seems to take a different type of
ammunition. They have no artil
lery.
They haven’t even got radios and
other much needed aids. But they
kill Reds. So far they have had
the incredibly small casualty toll
of two killed and seven wounded.
