The Aus- tralian Embassy has had 800 applications this year, com- pared with fewer than 200 last year. The great majority of Poles leave on tourist visas, which don't normally entitle them to ‘work. But embassy officials know most try to find temporary work. “We tend not to worry too much about kids helping with the harvest for a bit of pocket money during summer holi- days,” one Western official said. “We do try to weed out those who are likely to stay there for good.” It isn’t as easy as it may . seem.

A spokestn: for Peoples Jewellers said the com- pany buys old jewelry in bulk and ‘hasn't bought any since world prices started to decline sharply. Eaton's department stores in Toronto reported brisk sales of gold jewelry, but re- fused to comment on whether their prices are falling with the decline in world gold prices. SHOULD INVESTIGATE Chris Bisanz, 4 researcher with the Consumers’ Associ- ation of Canada in Ottawa, said the price of gold jewelry is something that should be investigated. “They (jewelry shops) are quick enough to put up prices when the gold market goes up,” she said. She said that although there have been no com- plaints to the association about gold jewelry prices, the watchdog organization would take note of the situ- ation and might try to ex- prices plain to the public how gold prices have fluctuated on the world market and how that should influence the price of jewelry. The Jewelry Factory in Toronto, which makes 80 per cent of the jewelry it sells, is about to launch a gold sale in which it will sell gold jewelry at between 20 per cent and 50 per cent off, said owner. Avi Davidesco. He said that with the fall in the price of gold and high interest rates making it too expensive to retain inven- tory, it will pay the company to get rid of its existing stock and buy more gold at lower prices. But prices of gold jewelry in many shops will stand still unless there is a sudden and drastic decline in world prices because “as fast as gold goes down it can go up tomorrow,” Davidesco said.
