By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -HOT- The jewel ry industry no longer can exist on the carriage trade, says a Jeweler who's found a gold mine in creating the un usual, ' "How often is a Jeweler going to sell a $50,000 dia mond bracelet?" asked Ed ward Merrin. "Or a $75,000 pearl necklace? It's nice to get those big orders, and we do, but these days industry has to aim for the smaller ones too." One of the smaller ones came the other day by phone from Mrs. John F. Kennedy, he said. The First Lady, on a visit to New York, called to order two 18-karah gold rep licas of Indian arrowheads made into brooches. The ar rowheads - one about one order two 18-karat gold rep- and one-quarter inch long, the other a fraction larger - will cost the First Lady $156.50. Has Artifacts Reproduction' of arrow- hcads in jewelry resulted from Merrin's interest in archaeology - he has a collec tion of American artifacts from pre - Columbian days. Many of them have been given a jeweled mounting; some tiny objots d'art, turned into costly chess pieces. Merrin's firm designs and manufactures the more pro saic jewelry too, the customer can buy that $50,000 brace let. And Roberta Peters, the coloratura at the Metropoli tan Opera company, had him design her a diamond and pearl tiara which cost $11, 000. Merrin promptly made up a group of tiaras to meet the demand - most of the tiaras around are heirlooms,'' he said. But it is the off-beat jewel ry which attracts such custo mers at Tallulah Bankhead, Frank Sinatra, Salvador Dali, George Burns, Theodore Bi kel - and Mrs. Kennedy. It all began, Merrin recall ed in an interview, with a gimmick he dreamed up near ly 10 years ago - a gold tooth pick. "It has sold like hot- cakes." he said, "1 d guess that 50 to 75 per cent of our U.S. Senators own one. Tem ple university has one in its dental museum." Collar Stays From the toothpick, the jeweler went on to gold col lar stays, sewing set including gold thimble and needle, gold tipped rabbit's foot, fish hooks, bookmarks, golf ball markers, initialed coat hang ers, stapler covers, can open ers, "his" and- "her" key chains, which when fitted to gether bear the legend, "sans vous je mourrai" (without you, I would die), a jewel-tipped magnifier for easier read ing of stock market quota tions in newspapers, diaper pins, safety pins, cigar piercer, and swizzle stick. He also created a gold nail file, thumb tack, chemin de fcr chips made into cuff links, a sterling silver gardeners set in miniature - rake, hoe and spade, and a gold stocking stay for milady's girdle. The last was originated he said because one woman cus tomer was allergic to base metals. We get a lot of older men ordering sets of four of those," laughed Merrin. "It's always a gift for a niece, so they tell us anyway." Father President Merrin, 34, father of three, is designer and treasurer of the firm which his father. Joseph, founded in 1927, His father is president. Most of the younger Mer rin's ideas come "in the mid dle of the night," he said. Some are keyed to a news event. When Adlai Stevenson was running for president, he produced for the Democratic National committee a minia ture gold shoe with a diamond set in the sole - where the hole had been in the famous photograph of a presidential candidate in need of either a shoemaker or new footwear. After Col. John Glenn, Jr.'s three orbital space flight, he produced miniature nose cones for charm bracelets, key rings and cuff links. He once designed a work ing crane In gold which em ployees of a Pottstown, Pa., construction firm wanted to present to their boss. Dog Collar He did a platinum, dia mond-studded dog collar for a prominent New York hat de signer's pooch. One love stricken swain ordered a solid gold heart - shaped paper weight for a Valentine's day gift. Merrin said the thing must have weighed three pounds. Merrin has been asked from time to time to produce In precious metals miniatures of pets, yachts and houses. A gold desk set one woman or dered cost her $10,000. "Why," I asked Merrin, "do people spend such fantastic sums on the unusual? If I had $10,000 to spend on jewelry, believe you me I'd put it Into something more traditional, like a diamond brooch." Merrin answered, "That woman who ordered the desk set already owns all the classic jewelry she wants. A lot of people are looking for something out of the ordinary." Griffin Creek PTA Installs; Bell Received Mrs. Charles Ellison was installed as president of the Griffin Creek Parent Teach er association for the coming year at a parents' tea held re cently at the school, Other officers installed by Mrs. Max Priebe, installation officer, wire Mrs. Eugene Gemaehlich, vice president; Mrs. Walter Perryman, sec retary, and Mrs. Randall Leon, who Is serving her sec ond year as treasurer.

The bell first was used in the 1880's and was sent to Mrs. Frink and the students from 02-year-old Mrs. Belle Grif fin, former Griffin Creek res ident, who now lives with her daughter in California. Her husband was a member of the pioneer family from which ihe school and the area re ceived its name. A report was given on a re rcoent school carnival, from which over $300 was realized. The money is to be used to purchase seed for a new foot ball field turf as well as for library books. Refreshments were served by mothers of pupils in the second grade. Grocers Approve Of Lone Shoppers New York - (UPD - Two's company but the lone shop per buys more, whether the loner is male or female, says a supermarket trade publica tion. "The average American housewife takes her husband with her one out of two times that she markets, said Pro gressive Grocer. She markets three times weekly, spends 27 minutes to buy 21 items for a total of $7.74. "The husband braves it alone one time In seven," ad ded the magazine. "The super market prefers the lone hus band since he generally lacks the will to stick to the aver age 13.7 items his wife lists and spends 15 per cent more than she would have." Supermarkets also like to see a housewife shop without her children, the report said. She takes 15 minute? longer, and spends more. She also saves the store the expense of replacing equipment and merchandise damaged by youngsters. Moppet mayhem costs a store $3,700 a year, the report added.
