F-8 NOTES OF ST AMPS—TRAVEL AND RESORTS NEWS BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Author Gerard Ten Eyck Beeckman, stamp editor, C. C. C. Weekly; David H. Davenport, The Star, and William M. Stuart, the Post, have been appointed | to serve on the American Philatelic | Society Convention Committee. Other | members are Philip Simms Warren, chairman; Charles H. Vaughan, Dr. Bilis Haworth, Valdemar Welergang. | Alvert F. Kunze, Roy Miller and | James Waldo Fawcett. Alvin W. Hall, superintendent, con- | ducted a party of philatelic journalists through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Friday afternoon. Ject of the pilgrimage was a demon- The ob- | stration of the “electric eye” machme. | and on this subject Mr. Beeckman reports as follows: “The stamps are printed from a special plate—one that shows small dashes, red, about a quar- | ter inch long and a quarter inch apart, running through the center of the sheet vertically. On the side mar- gins there are small red dashes be- tween the sections of the layout of 400 stamps. Two photo-electric eyes | are mounted on the perforating ma- chine. One follows with its beam the | red dashes along the exact center of | the sheet: the other follows the dashes | The vertical perfora- [~ on the sides. tions are made first; zontal perforations. “The sheets travel forward at the rate of 250 feet per minute. At the same time and independently, a sepa- then the hori- rate mechanism operates over a tol- | erance of 3-32nds of an inch to ad- just the paper, either vertically or horizontally, so that the perforations will be as close to the spaces between the stamps as possible. “The printed rolls of stamps, rolled with gum outside, go through the usual gum breaker rolls just prior to going through the perforating rolls. This, of course, is to remove the curl | from the paper. But a new type of | breaker roll is being used—leaung herringbone, not straight, ridges. “The theory of the electric eyes is that when the red dashes fail to pass directly under the beam of light a cir- cuit is broken, and almost instantly the paper is adjusted by the process described above. “Absolutely perfect centering is not guaranteed. The only assured cen- tering is in the middle. is kept as dry as possible to restrain expansion or contraction. “The machine has been developed by Henry J. Holtzclaw, mechanical ex- pert of the Bureau, and his associates. These men still are experimenting in the hope of achieving a fault-proof mechanism capable of giving 100 per cent perfect service.” Scott's Catalog, the publisher’s have announced, will list all collectors’ edi- tion reprints as separate varieties. The de luxe types likewise will be listed as distinctive entities. that practically all of the stamps of the Roosevelt administration there- fore will appear in three classes—pre- sentation sheets, authentic printings and reprints. Reports to the effect that some of the reprints were “taken from stock™ and not “made to order” are false. Mr. Hall has said that no authoriza- tion for such statements ever has been given by Bureau officials and that if the reprints had been stock material they would be gummed—which, of course, they were not. Eventually the Philatelic Agency will announce that all the reprints have been sold. On that day, collec- tors will know that the philatelic pub- lic has paid the Post Office Depart- ment the sum of $1781,500 for Mr. Farley’s mistakes. That was the to- tal face value of the special edition authorized by the Postmaster General in an effort to adjust his differences with the collectors of the Nation. Don Grieve, writing in the Cleve- land Plain Dealer, says: “Stamp prices have been rising steadily for six months, especially foreign stamps. Certain issues in countries such as Austria and Germany are having un- | precedented popularity * * * One of the largest factors in the rising prices is the fear of inflation, both here and | ebroad, which causes many dealers and collectors to put their money into stamps rather than doubtful rency.” Another contributing cause is the reaction against specialization United States stamps, consequence of recent events in Wash- ington. H. A. Robinette, a Washington deal- er, who is universally recognized as | an expert, allies himself with the orig- inal sponsors of the national parks series in the judgment that those issues were not commemoratives. A stamp in commemoration of Sacajawea, the Shoshone Indian girl | who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition through the Northwest Territory to the Pacific, has been proposed. She died April 9, 1884, aged about 100 years. The 1935 duck hunter’s license stamp, $1 face value, will be issued June 30. Frank W. Benson, noted painter and etcher, is responsible for | the design.

Atkinson, jr., 14-year-old philatelist attending Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. is the author of an article on “Stamp Oddities,” | printed in the March number of the Junior Red Cross News. The text, in part, is as follows: “Many times, I am sure, the ques- tion has been asked, ‘Which is the most valuable stamp in the world?" | Strangely enough, it is not the first | stamp issued, but a 1-cent magenta stamp of British Guiana, issued in 1856. It gets its value simply because cnly one specimen is known to exist. This stamp is valued at $50,000 by its present owner “The first postage stamp in the | world was issued in England on May 1 is 1840, and is known as the ‘1-penny black, from its color. The English | post offices soon ran into difficulties, | | for they found that their cancellation marks did not show up on the black stamp: so a ‘1-penny red’ was issued. It bore an engraved head of Queen Victoria and set a precedent for the future stamps of England, which have | always borne illustrations of the reigning monarch. Instead of being rare or very valuable, as one might | suppose, this stamp was recently | | quoted at $2 if used or $18 if unused “The Unitéd States first used | stamps for postage /in 1845, when | stamps were issued locally by post- | masters in several cities. The first stamps were officially issued by the | | Government in 1847, although it was a long time after that before our | postal system was nationally organ- | ized. Before the organization of our | }pmtnl system, city dispatch compa- nies handled local mail. These com- T ,nslands of St. Kitts-Nevis, in the West | l | Indies, have issued stamps showing Columbus sighting land through a telescope, which was not invented | until after his death. British stamps used to be canceled with a slogan, | “British goods are best,’ until it was |learned that the cancellation machine itself had been manufactured in the | United States. “The stamp with the highest face value of any stamp was that of one | issued by Germany shortly after the World War—>50,000,000,000 marks. Before the war it would have been | worth about $10,000,000,000, but at | that time German printing presses were turning out almost worthless paper money. In China a postage stamp bears the picture of a carp. In the Chinese language the carp is the messenger fish. Chinese legend | says that at one time it was used as carrier pigeons are sometimes used today. | “Many persons collect first-day cov- ers, showing post office cancellations | on the first day a new stamp is issued. have also become extremely popular, especially rare and valuable. “A recent cover, which some day will undoubtedly be of considerable value, | is the one carried aloft approximately Collections of old envelopes or covers | those of the Confederate States being | 60,000 feet on the stratosphere balloon | | flight sponsored by the National Geo- | | graphic Society and the United States | Army Air Corps.

ND you went on believing in A God?" asked James, “In a pitving God?” “I went on hating Him.” the judge said. “I strutted around hating Him like a pompous little bantam cock. It gave me an enormous satisfaction, I can tell you.” “And then what?” James asked, in- terested. “Then I grew up and realized I was confounded ass and that my mcmum<n hates and despairs mat- tered no more to the Almighty than the love affairs of a louse mattered to me. It was highly unpleasant, but ex- tremely educational. I've never been much more than ace high in my own estimation since.” James laughed. He said shyly: “It was kind of you to tell me. But I don't hate God. I just don't believe in Him or in a hereafter. I think men just made Him up because they couldn't | bear not to.” “There are a lot of arguments I might give you, but you probably | gnow most of them. Here's the best | one, one I got hold of a thousand years ago and leeched onto and never | let go." He leaned over the desk, tore a sheet off the pad, held it over Lulu's black and crimson beak and lighted it, let- ting the ash fall into the tray.

George Washington, but | of Benjamin Franklin, who was our first Postmaster General. | “No one knows who was the world's first stamp collector, but it is known | | that collections had been started as | early as 1860. In 1861, a Frenchman | by the name of Alfred Potique pub- | | lished the first stamp catalog. Today, \ there are countless fine collections in existence, and philately has become | firmly established throughout the civ- ilized world. “Not quite 500 countries, cities, colo- | nies, states and provinces have issued | postage stamps. Tibet, in Asia, has issued the fewest stamps in the world, having only five varieties. On the other hand, the United States has issued more postage stamps than any other country. Five thousand, six hundred and twenty-eight varieties are listed. Great Britain, which issued the first stamp, has issued a mere 540 varieties, if its colonial possessions are not_included. g “While stamp collectors are inter- ested in rare stamps as a rule, there is, perhaps, a much more general in- terest in unusual stamps. For ex- ample, one unusual set of stamps that has never failed to evoke interest is our own Columbian issue. Issued in 1892 to commemorate Columbus’ dis- covery of land in the New World, they present an amusing oddity. The one- cent stamp shows Columbus in sight of land as a beardless individual. On the two-cent stamp, Columbus land- and ash, but never by any possibility | blotted out or annihilated—all a com- | monplace to any but a schoolboy. To James it was both new and revo- lutionary. With his quick intelligence | | he grasped it instantly and a God- | given hope sprung to life in his heart. If even his flesh could only be changed into its original elements, would his intelligence, his personality change in | some unimaginable manner, but still survive? Unaccountably he did not | like to ask the judge. “But how about goodness and honor | and intangibles like that?” he finally | questioned. “I believe that the things of the spirit must go on. They are stronger, | more powerful than organic matter. The faith that moves mountains, builds vathedrals . . . I am certain that they | are not lost, though I am not wise | enough with my finite mind to under- stand how. Your grandfather, for in- stance, was an inspiration to every one who knew him well. Never doubt, my boy, that though we cannot see it or touch it, that inspiration is still here, all about us.” “But . . . but his personality? Grandfather himself?” “His personality was your grand- daddy. His worn-out body was no more the Governor than the arm he lost in the Civil War. Hang onto that. Remember that nothing is or can be wasted. The best of the old gentleman | may be changed, undoubtedly is changed beyond human understand- ing, but dammit, boy, what does that matter? It cannot be lost.” James went home whistling, head ing, apparently a few hours later, is depicted with a beard. thrown back, arms swinging free.

Kissimmee. Ocala, St. Cloud, Mount Dora, Winter Garden, | Winter Haven and Sanford. The evening festival of April 23, a “floralia,” similar to the festivals of the Italian Riviera, is to be a colorful, elaborately lighted pageant of flowers. centering about the enthroning of Lady Orlanda, Lady of the Azaleas, and the reception at her court of the 10 visiting flower princesses from each of the visiting cities. The floralia that follows is the pageantry planned by Lady Orlanda to entertain her visitors. Specially designed costumes. orig- inal scripts and scores of dialogue and music and originally routined dancing will add to the effectiveness of the pageant, while the lighting of the night pageant will be so designed as to intensify every effect of color and movement. The episodes are based on actual historical flower festivals of various countries They include Egyptian temple dancing in the “Lotus of Egypt” scene, the rose festival of old Bagdad, the.violet festival of early Greece and the shamrock of Ireland. ‘The evening pageant is climaxed by a romantic pantomime, “The Orange Blossom of Florida.” The Central Florida Spring Festival is to be made an_annual affair. The afternoon pageants April 22 had dogged his footsteps had proved but a shadow after all. James laughed aloud from sheer relief. At least he had a hope, more than a hope. After all, he might cheat the grave. He might go on . . . somehow. He was too excited that night to eat his dinner and Aunt Sarah suggested | a dose of castor oil. Castor oil? How like 2 woman! He teased her into It was their first cheer- ful evening since his grandmother died. Later he lay sleeping in bed watching the stars. It had been planned the Summer before his grandfather was injured that James should go East to school that September to prepare for college, but that project was, of course, aban- doned when it became evident that he would be needed at home. But the following Spring when there were only the two of them to be con- sidered. his Aunt Sarah. out of a clear sky, decided that she was being selfish and standing in James' way. Nothing would satisfy her but that he should be sent off to preparatory school im- mediately. | Consequently he entered after the Easter vacation, which is the worst | possible time for even the most case- hardened and experienced old-timer to enter a new school. Others of his age and condition, who have enrolled as & class in the Autumn, have been long before this whipped more or less into shape and th-ir more evident crass- nesses and differentnesses relentlessly | ironed out. Moreover, by Easter the upper and‘ lower classmen are apt to be bored and eager for entertainment. James, during his first term and at great hurt to his dignity, furnished rare entertainment. It is no easy thing for one who has been from his birth a personage | to adfust himself in the twinkling of an eve to a position of monu-| mental obscurity such as James occu- pled in his new environment. The | only preparation he had had for his | changed estate came from Judge | Holcomb who had taken him aside before he left home and given him | what he considered the most price- | less advice. 1 “You'll feel at first like a pup shut | outside in the dark whining to get | in to the fire,” warned the judge. “I suppose so,” said James, “but | T try not to whine.” “I'm not afraid of that.

Eng- | land sportsmen's rendezvous, featur- ing an international guides’' tourna- ment, is staged on, beautiful Lake Maranacook, in the Winthrop section, July 26 tc August 4. Recognition as the champion all- round guide of North America will be given to the entrant who scores the most points, and thereby captures the largest sum of prize money, at Amer- ica’s first international paddling, shooting, flycasting, log chopping and moose calling competition to be held in a natural outdcor setting. Archery. log rolling, canoe tilting. swimming and tall-tale spinning are a few of the other events planned to reveal the strength, skill and characteristic traits of the men who hunt. fish and trap for a living in the wilds of this coun- try and Canada. Lake Maranacook was selected as the site of the forthcoming rendezvous because of its size and beauty, its accessibility by railroad and highway. its facilities for accommodating spec- tators and its reputation as one of Maine’s most popular Summer resorts. The lake. just outside the capital city, is seven miles long. Tallwood Inn will be headquarters for the officials and contestants dur- ing the 10-day spectacle. It is located on a large pine-covered peninsula ex- tending midway the length of the lake. The program, consisting of matinee and evening events. will have many attractions in addition to the giudes® contests. Among the features planned are a spectacular Indian attack. cham- pionship outboard motor racing, ama- teur flycasting, camp fires and fish and game movies. Herdsmen Pray. NE of the most beautiful customs which has been in vogue for cen- turies is that practiced by the Alpine herdsmen of Switzerland when the light of day is waning. Just as the last rays of the sun are disappearing, and the golden glow is reflected on the white mountain tops. the herdsman living on the highest mountain peak takes his Alpine horn and calls loudly, “Praise the Lord God! Praise the Lord God!" As soon as these words are heard by the neighboring herdsman below, he takes | his Alpine horn and relays the call ! to his neighbor. Down the mountain side the call goes, sounding like some | wonderful echo and lasting for about a quarter of an hour. When silence falls every herdsman | kneels by his flock in evening devo- tions. Finally, when devotions are over, the herdsman living on the highest ridge again calls, “Good- night! Good-night!” and this call is in turn carried down the mountain | side, and with this last thought of gratitude and praise for their Maker, | the herdsmen drift back to their cot- (agec and all is silent.
